At only 16?! Holy crap! Is she the daughter of the heavens or what?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I give up. I made it into Yulianton University and still feel the gap between people like her and me.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As someone from Blue Star’s Dragon Nation, let me explain: Among Qiao Sang’s three general-level pet beasts, Fire Qilu is a completely new form she bred herself, the first of its kind. Normally, Ghost Ring Kings are only Ghost-type, but hers is a color variant and has mutated to include Psychic-type traits. But the most important part is this, her latest evolution, Ice Aipalu, is an endangered beast! An endangered beast!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aren’t endangered pet beasts usually only contractable by experts in specific research fields?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I don’t know about that, but her Ice Aipalu is definitely endangered, you almost never see them in the wild.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You mean the one reported last time, Steel Guardian Falcon, that evolved through emotional bonds?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh my god! The person who triggered Steel Falcon’s bond evolution was Qiao Sang?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Back then, Steel Guardian Falcon temporarily evolved during the freshman assessment, so now its next form doesn’t even need further study. It’s clearly a bond evolution, as long as it has enough energy, it can evolve.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unreal! She managed to get Steel Falcon to evolve through bond evolution twice in a row! That pet is notoriously hard to handle.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Just saying, isn’t the real issue here that Yulianton University rejected Prodigy Qiao’s application?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I love our school, but even I can’t wrap my head around that one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She got rejected by Yulianton but was accepted by the Imperial Beast University. Honestly, it’s laughable.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Someone should investigate the admissions office, maybe they’re biased toward folks from Blue Star.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a spacious, luxurious office, a giant holographic screen displayed the students’ chat messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messages kept scrolling, all questioning the university’s admissions office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man in a black suit, white hair, sagging cheeks, deep wrinkles, but a powerfully built frame sat at the head of the table, staring blankly at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Yulianton University’s president, Muhan Jackman, and he had convened this meeting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the deans from every department were present, no exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated around the conference table, they occasionally glanced at Gilbert, whose face was extremely dark. Everyone knew he was likely the main target of this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what else the president might say beyond holding him accountable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the deans pondered this, President Muhan asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t Qiao Sang’s application get approved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here it comes...The deans exchanged silent glances, each catching a hint of schadenfreude in the others' eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh, all just waiting to see me fall...Gilbert sneered inwardly, kept his expression calm, and replied evenly: “It was a group decision. Qiao Sang’s academic foundation was too weak, she didn’t meet our admission standards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than the once-silent room erupted: “She’s only 16! And with all the competitions she participated in, she barely had time for proper classes, aren’t your standards too high?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s 16 and already has the mental capacity to contract four pet beasts, two of which are entirely new forms she bred herself. Who cares about her academic foundation at that point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three general-level beasts! And after coming to Chaosu Star, she evolved Steel Falcon into a brand new form in such a short time. If your Beast Taming department rejected someone like her, I don’t know what you’re thinking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad she didn’t apply to our Breeding Department, I would’ve accepted her in a heartbeat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert regretted it a thousand times over, but with everyone eager to see him humiliated, he refused to admit fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuming, he said: “When Qiao Sang first applied, the report we received didn’t show a single general-level pet beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell silent for a moment, then the assault resumed: “My god! It's only been a few months since applications closed, and she’s already raised three general-level beasts. You still didn’t accept her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that age, with over 30% brain domain activation, that alone proves her talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even those folks at the Imperial Beast University could recognize her potential. Why couldn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert’s face darkened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, President Muhan slowly spoke: “I have an idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room quieted again. All eyes turned to the head seat, even Gilbert’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s done is done. Since Qiao Sang is now at our school, I don’t care how you do it, find a way to keep her here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dean of the Coordination department hesitated: “That doesn’t really fall under our domain, does it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muhan glanced at her: “I want Qiao Sang to stay at our university, I don’t care which department she’s in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deans’ expressions shifted, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dean of the Architecture Academy cleared his throat and said: “I saw Qiao Sang’s interview, she mentioned her goal is to compete in the Interstellar Cup. A student with such ambitions likely won’t consider other departments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one minded poaching talent across departments, but putting someone like Qiao Sang, whose beast-taming talent was monstrous, into a different academy would be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>President Muhan stated calmly: “Give Qiao Sang time. If nothing goes wrong, with her talent, she will definitely compete in the Interstellar Cup. She’s a candidate, no matter what department she joins, I will place her into the Imperial Class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, the room stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Class, personally founded by Muhan 300 years ago, was established to train world-class beast taming geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, those in the Imperial Class were the crème de la crème. Being accepted meant you already had one foot in the circles of the elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of its high bar, only around 700 students had been admitted in its entire history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though small in number, many of them qualified for Interstellar Cup preliminaries, with some even advancing to later stages and achieving worldwide fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Coordination Department's dean looked surprised: “I remember the Imperial Class only takes students who’ve already passed at least B- or A-level Professional Beast Tamer certifications.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muhan replied coolly: “I said she’s a candidate for the Interstellar Cup.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breeding Department dean’s eyes gleamed: “So if she joins the Imperial Class, she’ll still be registered under whichever department she chooses?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muhan nodded: “Correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deans’ expressions shifted again, and this time, no one exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood what it meant to enter the Imperial Class, and what kind of future that promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Qiao Sang’s talent, once she entered the Imperial Class and gained access to its resources, barring any accidents, her participation in the Interstellar Cup preliminaries would be almost guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their department produced a student who placed in the Interstellar Cup...The deans’ minds began racing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-06T02:23:26.450Z",1,"novelbin.me","411d91c9af9fa70587adad2590036d0cc1b82e7eda7969bd651c45eb54af4808","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-731","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-729",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
