He turned and left coldly and mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yi watched Qu Zhuo's retreating figure, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of dangerous mission did the teacher take on to end up in that state?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's definitely not something at our level that we can interfere with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she turned around and added, \"I'm going to buy a pet identifier device here. Want to come along?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yi was briefly stunned before quickly following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two soon arrived at a nearby pet accessories store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any new pet identifier devices?\" Qiao Sang asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff enthusiastically recommended, \"Of course! Recently, Hongxi released its latest dynamic pet identifier device. You can wear it like a watch, and to identify a pet, you just need to aim it at the pet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she walked to the counter and was about to take out a black, watch-like pet identification device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang quickly declined politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you kidding me? Holding out your wrist like that to scan a pet, it looks way too much like an anime transformation pose. Too cringy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member took out another pet identifier device—a pink, ultra-thin model, and introduced it, \"This one is lightweight and easy to carry. It's a new model from Aichuang this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qiao Sang was about to try it, Tang Yi asked, \"Do you have the latest model of the StarLens series with full pet identification?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the newest StarLens models require pre-orders. If you want, I can call the main store to place an order. It should be available for pickup in about a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending enough time around wealthy people, Qiao Sang had learned a thing or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The StarLens series could identify all interstellar pets, but it cost ten times more than a regular pet identification device. Unless someone was traveling across the galaxy, the extra functions were practically useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be nice to have a full interstellar pet identifier, she could even use it when she returned to Blue Star but waiting a week was out of the question. She'd just get one back in 3rd District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to leave, she caught sight of Little Treasure still looking dejected, mourning over his newfound third-place status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Treasure, pick out a pet identifier device you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure's ears perked up, his spirits instantly lifted as he floated over to the counter and carefully began selecting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they had money now. Distracting Little Treasure first, then buying a better one back in 3rd District, it was a solid plan. Qiao Sang watched Little Treasure's back with a smile in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 9 AM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beast Taming Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outdoor Training Grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast tamers in the lower ten districts were constantly on the move, solving real-world problems. Few had time to train in peace, so at this hour, the training grounds were nearly empty, with only a handful of people scattered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training area was vast, and everyone was spaced far apart, not interfering with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring that all recording equipment was set up, Qu Zhuo followed protocol and announced, \"This 2V2 pet battle test will be fully monitored and uploaded in real-time to Central Hollow University. Three other professors on Blue Star will supervise remotely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the assessment, every pet must be summoned on-site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The test lasts 20 minutes. The longer you endure in battle, the higher your score.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Qiao Sang and Tang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which of you wants to go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Qu Zhuo nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang explained, \"Teacher, what if I win within 20 minutes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Zhuo's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you get full marks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stepped forward seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go first, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yi felt touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well known that in an assessment with only one examiner, the first participant was at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, for students like them, national champions and runners-up of the Campus Beast Mastering League, unless something unexpected happened, the test wouldn't be a problem. Still, Tang Yi couldn't help but feel moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang took her position on one side of the battle arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Head!\" Head Rocker, doubling as the referee, raised a green flag and swung it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang and Qu Zhuo simultaneously formed hand seals, summoning two bright orange star arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Lubao appeared, along with an eagle-like flying pet about three meters tall, with gray-black feathers, white wingtips and tail feathers, and a pair of piercing black eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peering Wave Eagle, a high-level flying pet from Chaosu Star. Its eyes were extraordinarily sharp, with a special structure that allowed it to see clearly up to a kilometer away, even the intricate patterns on an insect's wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recalled its data in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had spent enough time on Chaosu Star to recognize many of its local pets. The Peering Wave Eagle was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Ice Xilu' Healing Light to drag out the battle?Qu Zhuo's thought flashed briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, Lubao and the Peering Wave Eagle moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao lifted her head slightly and fired a Water Gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Peering Wave Eagle, already flapping its wings to approach, dodged in a flash and split into three identical copies, Shadow Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three identical eagles dived sharply toward Lubao with a fierce momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao leaped into a water droplet on the ground and instantly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Ice Xilu's melting water trait to evade? Not bad…Qu Zhuo mentally scored her strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Peering Wave Eagle struck empty air. Without hesitation, it stabilized itself and flapped its wings hard, sending a powerful gust downward, lifting all the water droplets from the Water Gun off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Icy Wind.\" Qiao Sang commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, a single water droplet, floating less than five meters ahead of the Peering Wave Eagle, suddenly revealed Lubao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her mouth, releasing an intensely cold gust aimed at the three identical eagles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enhanced Gale.\" Qu Zhuo spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left and right clones disintegrated under the icy attack. The real Peering Wave Eagle did not dodge. Instead, it flapped its wings and surged forward, glowing with a cyan light, dramatically increasing its speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy wind barely formed a thin frost layer on its feathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, it spread its wings and flapped powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce gust it generated instantly shattered the Icy Wind, sending a vastly stronger windstorm surging across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Brave Bird Attack combined with Gale…Qiao Sang found this troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, she was facing an opponent who used combination techniques in battle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on Blue Star, the three remote examiners watched the scene unfold on a virtual screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using combination techniques in a special recruitment test, doesn't that make it too difficult? Did previous years do this too?\" Asked a new examiner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It depends.\" Answered a senior examiner with graying hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Campus Beast Mastering League champions are strong. Without extra difficulty, the test would be too easy for them. The combination techniques are to gauge their limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young examiner beside him added, \"And to remind them that in university battles, combos are the key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only certain candidates face combo techniques, wouldn't it be unfair if their matches end too quickly?\" The new examiner asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Match duration is only one factor. The real assessment is based on overall performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger examiner chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Sang is the national champion. If she lost to a simple combo, she wouldn’t be champion in the first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the Peering Wave Eagle, glowing with cyan light, dived toward Lubao with a powerful storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang instantly knew, Lubao couldn’t dodge this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For unavoidable, contact-heavy attacks, Lubao knew what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao braced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent collision followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of Lubao being blasted away, both Lubao and the Peering Wave Eagle went flying together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao and the Peering Wave Eagle cried out in pain at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene that Qu Zhuo had imagined, where Ice Xilu would be knocked back and then struck again by the raging wind, did not happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, on the battlefield, Ice Xilu was sent flying backward due to the collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, the Peering Wave Eagle seemed to be stuck to it, following Ice Xilu as they tumbled backward together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Zhuo was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, he saw that Ice Xilu had grown more than a dozen ice spikes, most of which had embedded themselves into the Peering Wave Eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely these ice spikes that caused the Peering Wave Eagle to be dragged along with Ice Xilu as they fell back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Spike Armor… Realizing what had happened, Qu Zhuo's pupils shrank sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qiao Sang gave a command:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Healing Light.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao struggled to open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft blue glow radiated from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the glow dissipated, Lubao was completely unscathed. She swiftly leaped backward, putting some distance between herself and the Peering Wave Eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the heavily wounded Peering Wave Eagle remained in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Flower Seal.” Qiao Sang immediately followed up with another command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao lifted her head, beginning to gather energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Qu Zhuo waved his hand, recalling the badly injured Peering Wave Eagle back into his Beast Taming Codex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Zhuo cleared his throat and said, “That was a good performance.
