Wherever it passed, the fiery rain turned white with frost, encased in ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the frozen flames shattered into fragments and scattered downward as glowing particles, eerily beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who had been fleeing stopped in their tracks, looking up in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…Their minds went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meteor Rain, an ultimate-level move from a general-level pet, was just neutralized like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ama… amazing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a deep elderly voice echoed through the area, amplified like through a speaker:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast Taming Department, assessment concluded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, virtual panels appeared in front of all the freshmen in the Beast Taming Department: [End Countdown: 0:00:00]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang suddenly snapped out of it and looked toward the source of the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw an elderly man with half-white hair and a deeply wrinkled face, but a surprisingly healthy complexion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating beside him was a beast about 80cm tall, entirely encased in icy blocks, glowing faintly blue, with white markings on its head and a lower body shaped like an icy pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert Heron, Headmaster of the Beast Taming Academy…Qiao Sang instantly recognized the man as the legendary figure who had lived to 483 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, Yabao glared fiercely at the pet with the icy pillar legs, baring his teeth and growling furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound immediately drew Qiao Sang’s attention. She looked up, startled to see Yabao about to attack, and shouted: “Yabao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao froze when he heard the familiar voice, then looked down to see his Beast Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up, and in the next second, he vanished from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao reappeared beside Qiao Sang, lowered his head, and rubbed hard against her affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he rubbed, he suddenly paused, then stepped back with a wronged look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had scared him so much just now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You scared me more…Qiao Sang comforted it, “I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, Gilbert glanced toward the rooftop where the black-haired girl stood, then looked away and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingling.” The pet with icy pillar legs quickly followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did everyone seem to wake up and begin buzzing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I seriously thought I was a goner just now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“OMG, Headmaster Gilbert Heron is so cool!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That must be Zero Lingling, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my first time seeing an emperor-level pet up close!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, when their size shrinks, even emperor-level pets don’t seem so terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah…” The speaker unconsciously looked at the red, elegant-furred pet on the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Qilu had returned to its original form, no longer exuding the terrifying pressure from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people’s gazes shifted toward the silhouette on the rooftop, but no one mentioned anything about wanting toteach her a lessonanymore, pretending as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recalled Gangbao and Lubao back into the Beast master Codex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she clearly knew Gangbao's next evolution stage and method, just needed the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could allocate points directly for Gangbao to evolve, but her Iron Defense hadn’t yet reached the ultimate level, so there was no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao had earned quite a few points through her Ice Flower Seal and earlier attacks, saving several months of work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This assessment had been immensely rewarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang, holding Yabao, returned to Beast Taming Class One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many students were already seated inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She casually found an empty seat and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl beside her stiffened, then silently got up and moved to another seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously? Isn’t the assessment over already…Qiao Sang glanced at her leaving back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, I’m actually in the same class as her…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Fire Qilu looks so obedient now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She looked at me just now, does she know I’m the one who had Sand King?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which one was Sand King again…Qiao Sang perked up her ears, listening to their conversation without changing expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a woman who looked to be in her 40's, with a round, fair face, appeared out of thin air at the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet.” Her gaze swept across the students calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was surprised at the sudden appearance of a teacher. Everyone obediently fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Claudia, and I’ll be your homeroom teacher for Class One of the Beast Taming Department.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued, her calm gaze suddenly sharpening: “During this assessment, we instructors watched your performance through surveillance. I’m not pleased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, all students instinctively looked toward the black-haired girl in the back row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was reflexive, after all, she was the one responsible for everyone scoring poorly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao sensed the stares and immediately remembered the earlier group attack. He bared his teeth again with a fierce expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone shuddered as they recalled Fire Qilu’s earlier power and quickly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang quickly stroked Yabao’s fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao gradually calmed down, showing a pleased expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia’s gaze rested on Qiao Sang, eyes showing a hint of admiration. She then said: “But one student’s performance far exceeded my expectations, and that is Qiao Sang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting praised on the first day of school, feels like it’s been forever since that happened…Qiao Sang quietly straightened her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others immediately started whispering again: “So her name is Qiao Sang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does that name sound familiar?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then someone suddenly exclaimed, “She’s the one who moved into the Special Zone on the first day!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-06T02:23:25.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","4d92843a2a2c15c60723edfb5a6bf311472b68112cd2826bd3daa2bf98a06a2d","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-699","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-697",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
