Keep fighting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sooner I learn spatial lockdown, the sooner I can play an extra hour of computer games!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought in mind, Little Treasure grew even more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending off the body forge bug and taking a shower, Qiao Sang came out of her bedroom and saw Little Treasure and Ivina returning from the indoor training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All done? How’d the learning go?” Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still hadn’t mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina praised, “The Ghost Ring King is really smart. It picks things up quickly. I’d say it has over a 90% chance of mastering spatial lockdown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No beast master dares guarantee a 100% success rate for advanced, non-primary skills. So, saying 90% was already extremely high praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure didn’t seem particularly happy at the compliment, he still felt like he had a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.” Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had good hearing. Before the body forge bug arrived, she had paid special attention to the lesson inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard that the technique involved pinpointing locations first, she knew Little Treasure had a big advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, spatial shift also required pinpointing locations, and Little Treasure had already mastered that to an ultimate level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ivina thought of something. She formed a hand sign, and a green star array lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a pet with a predominantly green body, purple eyes, and magenta eyelids appeared inside the star array. It held a bunch of oddly shaped black-petaled flowers with many stamens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toxic Tendril Flower King, a high-level grass\u002Fpoison-type dual-attribute pet…Qiao Sang had done her reading and recognized it at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pick one flower for me.” Ivina turned and said to the Flower King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Toxic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flower King plucked a flower from the bunch and handed it to its beast master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina took it and passed it to Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have the Ghost Ring King practice spatial lockdown on this flower when it has time. If it succeeds, the flower will wither shortly after.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang recalled its type and the black color, then cautiously asked, “Is it poisonous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Ivina smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it only becomes toxic when the Flower King infuses it with energy. Otherwise, it’s no different from an ordinary flower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It lives off air, doesn’t need watering, and will keep blooming as long as there’s air.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relieved, Qiao Sang accepted the flower and handed it to Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure took it and immediately sniffed it curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her task complete and the other party satisfied, Ivina asked, “Do you have time tomorrow at noon? I’ve prepared all the materials for the interview.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So efficient…Qiao Sang thought over her schedule, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakened by her alarm, Qiao Sang got up on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick wash, she headed to the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Little Treasure's eyes glowing blue, focused intently on the black flower on the coffee table, just as serious as he was when playing computer games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang clicked her tongue inwardly, then noticed a steaming breakfast and energy pills for the pets on the dining table, but no sign of the vice principal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over and found a note written in messy handwriting: “Breakfast’s ready, you guys eat. I had to step out for something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made breakfast even though he was busy…Qiao Sang was a little touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, with Little Treasure's spatial shift, Qiao Sang smoothly arrived at her classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she appeared, everyone’s attention turned toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even students from other classes passing by peeked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the first class ended, students from nearby classes all rushed over, surrounding Qiao Sang enthusiastically, as if they’d never had any conflicts during the entrance assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got three general-rank pets now! Want to challenge someone ranked above you on the Top 100 list?” One excited student suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others all looked eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power gap had become so big, they completely forgot any past rivalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they felt proud to be classmates with such a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in the same class as someone who might crush the senior students and become the strongest in the Beast master Department, that was thrilling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Challenge someone on the Top 100?” Qiao Sang was briefly stunned, then smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still have a bunch of unresolved challenge applications from others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A student next to her widened their eyes in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People are still sending you battle requests?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Qiao Sang took out her phone to show the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she opened the interface, all the names had disappeared, leaving only one: Salem Poole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang: ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp-eyed student spotted the single name and burst out laughing: “Knew it! No one’s challenging you anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others chimed in: “Exactly, with your current power, if anyone has a brain, they’d aim for the person ranked 99th.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you ask me, Qiao Sang should go straight for the top 10.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top 10? Please. I heard the #1, Malc Short, only has two general-rank pets. Qiao Sang should challenge him directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone spoke animatedly, already imagining Qiao Sang steamrolling her way to #1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sat there in silence for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… you can cancel accepted battle applications?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, being hounded by seniors seemed annoying, but now that no one was challenging her, it felt kind of... disappointing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a lot of lost points…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Qiao Sang suddenly felt a pang of heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>12 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a recording classroom equipped with a massive virtual screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sat on the couch hugging Yabao, casually chatting with Ivina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you evolve your pets so quickly? Any secret tips?” Ivina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I have a cheat code…Qiao Sang responded seriously, “Not really. If I had to say, it’s due to talent, hard work, and the bond we share.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap!” Yabao chirped, agreeing wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina continued, “I heard you’re from Blue Star. Why did you choose to study at Yulianton University?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m enrolled at the Imperial Beast University but I came here as an exchange student.” Qiao Sang scratched her head, a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I applied to Yulianton first, but my application was rejected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like you got rejected?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were those admissions officers brain-dead?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina’s expression froze, a string of question marks flashing through her mind, though she quickly composed herself professionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Imperial Beast University is also a top-tier school… You were selected for the Top 100 as soon as you enrolled. Why do you think that is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of strength, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina pressed on: “With your talent and no rivals your age, have you thought about skipping grades and advancing sooner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I already skipped grades to get into college. I’m not thinking of skipping again. I still have a lot to learn and need time to deepen my knowledge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina was silent for a while, then asked hesitantly: “You skipped grades to enter college?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I was in my first year of high school, I competed in the national senior division of the Campus Beast Mastering League and won first place. So, I was allowed to skip to senior year and take the college entrance exam early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina listened quietly, her gaze a little dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So how old are you now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sixteen.” Qiao Sang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivina was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this monstrous freshman with four pets, three of them general-level, who made every other new student despair… was actually just 16?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still a minor?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after a long pause did Ivina remember she was in the middle of an interview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have any goals, or something you want to achieve?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do.” Qiao Sang said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to participate in the Interstellar Cup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she might’ve kept this dream to herself for fear of being laughed at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… she has the confidence that she won't be laugh at all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1606,"2026-06-06T02:23:26.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","a247eba88f7f3648120ac4eed8729a9e7459b8ab493829c282252def44d0945b","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-730","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-728",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
