Much much appreciated support!🥺\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visual impact of the scene before them was simply overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast examination field was eerily silent, with only the bubbling sound of magma echoing through the air. Everyone stared in stunned silence at the red-colored pet beast standing proudly atop the molten lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much time had passed before the dry voice of the examiner finally broke the silence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first round of the examination is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, everyone suddenly stood up in unison, their breathing quickened as if they had only just realized they had witnessed something unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god! What kind of skill was that? That was terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, I know! That Beastmaster said the skill’s name earlier! I remember, it’s called Lava Purgatory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap! I knew it! No high-tier skill could be this terrifying, it had to be ultra-tier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Who’s the expert pretending to be a rookie in this C-rank Beastmaster exam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear on my receding hairline, there’s no way that’s just a General-rank pet beast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people even pulled out their phones, frantically taking pictures of the now completely crimson battlefield to send to their friends or post online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultra-tier skills were usually exclusive to high-level Beastmasters' pet beasts, something rarely seen in everyday life. Yet, here they were, witnessing one in a mere C-rank Beastmaster exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a dream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pet beast that couldn’t be identified by the pet detector, combined with the ultra-tier skill Lava Purgatory, these two factors stacked together instantly shrouded Qiao Sang in an air of mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone was immensely curious about Qiao Sang’s age and background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all appearances, the girl standing on the field looked like a minor, far too young to be taking a C-rank Beastmaster exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, her pet beast could use an ultra-tier skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which raised another question, if her pet beast was capable of such a skill, how could she still be taking a mere C-rank examination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all just too mysterious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mystery was so compelling that no one sat back down for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man approached a red-haired woman nearby and asked, \"I saw you talking to her earlier. Do you know her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired woman kept her eyes fixed on Qiao Sang in the arena and murmured, \"Not really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was unwilling to give up and pressed further, \"Do you know how old she is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired woman hesitated for a moment before answering, \"Sixteen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man rolled his eyes, then returned to his seat without asking any more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The examination was temporarily halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield had been completely consumed by lava and was no longer usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the examiner's Snow Concealment Sphere had been sent to the third-floor pet beast medical center for emergency treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qiao Sang had known the examiner had left for this reason, she would’ve at least given Snow Concealment Sphere a Light of Healing before they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t resume the test soon, she would run out of time...Qiao Sang glanced at her phone every so often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, a burly middle-aged man appeared at the edge of the field and spoke through a loudspeaker:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are changing locations! Everyone, please proceed to Examination Field B4 immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone swiftly got up and moved in an orderly fashion toward the right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Beastmasters taking the exam in the 19th District Beastmaster Center were locals, so they knew exactly where to go without needing directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang followed the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao carefully lowered his head, watching the tiny human figures moving below. He cautiously adjusted his steps, afraid of accidentally crushing someone underfoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure floated onto Yabao’s head, looking down at the humans as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this height, the view was rather thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he looked, the more he wanted to get bigger...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The B4 examination field wasn’t far away, and within three minutes, everyone had relocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I will be your examiner.\" Announced the burly middle-aged man who had spoken earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did the previous examiner go?Qiao Sang suddenly thought of this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She recalled that Little Treasure had scanned the previous examiner’s three pet beasts.If he were still the one conducting the exam, she would have had a better grasp of what to expect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Candidate 25, enter the field and prepare.\" The announcement system broadcasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment!\" Qiao Sang called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone turned their attention to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" The burly examiner asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Candidate 24. I've only completed one match, I still have two more to go.\" Qiao Sang explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly examiner gave her a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're Candidate 24?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the registration desk and sign your name.\" He instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sign what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll understand once you get there.\" He replied before turning back to his loudspeaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Candidate 25! Get up here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...They wouldn’t be asking her to pay for the battlefield repairs, would they?Qiao Sang sighed and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she was about to exit the B4 field, a staff member seated near the entrance caught her attention with a subtle glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same staff member who had been at B7 field earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang slowed her steps and glanced over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member whispered, \"He means you’ve passed the exam. You just need to sign the confirmation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stopped, looking puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I still have two more rounds left...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member chuckled after glancing at Yabao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With a pet beast capable of Lava Purgatory, you’ve already met the qualifications. In all my years of work, I’ve never seen a C-rank Beastmaster’s pet beast use an ultra-tier skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My guess is they’re just trying to prevent you from casting Lava Purgatory again, otherwise, they'd have to change the battlefield after every round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao gazed up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood now, he was simply too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Qiao Sang hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never heard of anyone passing a C-rank Beastmaster exam after just one match...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, just go sign the papers.\" The staff member reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire examination process is monitored, and an official certifier was present. Everything was done by the book. If they’re letting you pass, that means they’ve officially recognized your C-rank qualifications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. Thanks.\" Since everything was legitimate, Qiao Sang had no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the exam had continued, she was confident she could pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would've thought the professional Beastmaster exams on Chaosu Star would be this flexible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her hand, Qiao Sang recalled Yabao into her Beastmaster Codex and strode toward the Beastmaster Center’s lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She completed the necessary paperwork and received her new Beastmaster badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking her phone, she saw that she had 29 minutes left until her scheduled meeting with \"SS-Rank Yin Dynasty Pearl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved to an unmonitored area and put on the black coat and mask she had worn last time at the underground trading market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had been stored in Little Treasure's ring, making the change quick and convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her disguise, she suddenly remembered something. With another wave of her hand, she stored Lubao into her Beastmaster Codex and placed her backpack into Little Treasure's ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had carried this bag last time at the volcano, she couldn’t risk blowing her cover because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making all necessary preparations, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone, opened her chat with \"SS-Rank Yin Dynasty Pearl,\" and typed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I have arrived.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1303,"2026-06-06T02:23:25.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc7c71fb21d968401b5749901ce56379b52081a195e1f345880f2d4f7e41c5b0","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-656","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-654",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
