Which fifth-year guy is it? He actually ranked ahead of me!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Is the info accurate?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Where’s the battle happening? Someone share the location, I’m going to watch.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Count me in.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What’s the battle format?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It must be 1v1. Qiao Sang has two general-level pets. Anyone with a brain wouldn’t challenge her to 3v3.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challenger could choose which format to request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the challenge could be refused if the one being challenged disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to prevent students on the Top 100 from avoiding battles to maintain their rank, the school required them to accept at least one challenge within a set timeframe, or they'd be automatically removed from the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the chat buzzed with discussion, Hadro suddenly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to find a referee!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he quickly walked out of the lecture hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy put her phone down and leaned over to ask: “What format did he pick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1v1.” Qiao Sang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even need to check. All the upperclassmen who applied for a battle picked 1v1 without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a huge loss for you.” Dorothy frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single general-level pet was already considered the peak combat power during undergraduate studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a handful of seniors with one general-level pet, but Qiao Sang was the only one Dorothy knew who had two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were 3v3, Qiao Sang would’ve definitely won. But 1v1? That was harder to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d looked into it before, most Top 100 battles were full-team 3v3s. Few ever chose 1v1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That senior clearly knew Qiao Sang had two general-level pets and specifically picked this format.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Qiao Sang agreed to 1v1 without even knowing his background, wasn’t that a bit too confident...? Dorothy was worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gossip aside, she still sincerely hoped this monster of a classmate would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Qiao Sang had crushed all the freshmen during the entrance evaluation. If she casually lost to a senior now, it would make their entire freshman class look weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Qiao Sang calmly said: “Only those who aren’t confident in winning think they’re at a disadvantage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t blindly confident. She’d already looked into El’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy had barely clung to the bottom of the Top 100. Besides him, none of her challengers were even on the list, meaning they were weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El only had one general-level pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So no matter who challenged her, it would be a general-level pet at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their pet levels matched, she had full faith in Yabao and Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one else at her level had pets that had mastered so many ultimate-level skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy was moved by her words, feeling a sudden burst of admiration:Totally something a badass would say...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the first class break, the Beast Taming Department’s exclusive indoor battle arena was packed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top 100 battles always drew attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since today's challenger had a bit of alegendaryvibe, Qiao Sang had entered the Top 100 as a freshman, and crushed the other newbies during the entrance exams. Every detail made her fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the southwest stands, El sat in a black tactical jacket, watching the arena with a serious, focused gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say you had training? How come you’re here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was the blonde senior who’d earlier shouted Qiao Sang’s name in the special zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m about to battle Qiao Sang. Of course I need to observe her strength.” El replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde raised a brow: “So you’re that sure Qiao Sang will win?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El analyzed calmly: “I watched her entrance evaluation. Her Fire Qilu’sMeteor Rainhad clearly reached ultimate in mastery. If Dean Gilbert Heron hadn’t intervened in time, the maintenance and medical teams would’ve been overwhelmed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hadro’s in my class, I know his strength. If Qiao Sang uses Fire Qilu, he won’t stand a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde fell silent for a moment, then asked with a strange expression: “If you know that, Hadro should too. So why’d he still apply for the battle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El glanced sideways at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde immediately realized: “You told Hadro to do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El nodded expressionlessly: “I only have footage from her entrance exam, and it was taken from too far away. It’s unclear. I need to assess her real strength before I battle her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So sneaky...the blonde thought to herself. Then she asked: “Then why were you trying to challenge her earlier if you didn’t even know her strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El waved her hand: “I didn’t know back then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde paused, then understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy crap, there’s so many people. Feels like an official match…Qiao Sang thought, hearing the surrounding buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a clear voice rang out from the speakers: “Both parties, please summon your beasts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sat behind a wooden desk just outside the field boundary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him sat a pet about 50cm tall with a triangular head. It wore a white mini shrinking bracelet on its paw, and each horn had a cannon-like hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fafa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the referee’s command, the triangular-headed pet raised a green flag with its paw and swung it forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang and Hadro made hand signs at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden-orange summoning array appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Little Treasure emerged from the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang had already decided to use Little Treasure, so she’d stored him in her Beast Codex ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure was strong, and his recent training had pushed many of his skills to the ultimate level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since evolving into the Ghost Ring King, he hadn’t had a proper battle yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, lately whenever she summoned Little Treasure, he always reacted a beat too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang suspected he had been spending too much time playing computer games. So this match was meant to jog his brain and get his focus back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Armor Beast, a super stellar ice-type general-rank pet, had a body that looked like ice but was as hard as steel. It moved by crushing anything in its way with its massive body…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang studied the 6-meter-tall beast in the distance. It looked like a turtle, with amber eyes and cylindrical limbs covered in spikes. All the relevant info surfaced in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to her studies, her knowledge had broadened a lot, most super stellar beasts no longer required her to look them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t summon Fire Qilu?El frowned from the stands, seeing the ghost-type pet on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Little Treasure stared nervously at his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel his beastmaster’s excitement wasn’t the same lately, possibly because he had been gaming too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he lost this battle, would his beast master ban him from playing games?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of that, Little Treasure’s eyes firmed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has to win this match!\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-06T02:23:26.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","c2c7ebf9ffdc76cf17593b338c8a727802ce4e0a683886d56b85b140ac48db4c","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-709","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-707",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
