Qiao Sang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Qilu! Fire Qilu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers erupted throughout the arena. The atmosphere was electric, the kind of excitement only top-ranking, popular contestants could stir up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang returned through the corridor. She had barely taken a few steps when she saw a tall figure leaning against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations on your victory.” Apollon approached quickly, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang paused in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Were you waiting here just for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollon was a little surprised by her bluntness. He tucked away his smile, grew serious, and said honestly: “Yes, I have something I’d like to ask of you. Can we talk in private somewhere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang took out her phone and checked the time, then looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, but I might bring someone else along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollon immediately replied, “No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a café.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollon, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, sat in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to take off your mask?” Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m worried someone might recognize me.” Apollon replied tactfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he glanced oddly at the black-haired girl across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This café wasn’t far from the competition venue. Many fans of the Beast Tamer Star Tournament were in the area, some had even come from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, the girl sitting before him should be one of the most talked-about contestants recently. But people around them acted like they didn’t recognize her, going about their business. Even those at the neighboring table didn’t seem to notice, something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly had a memorable face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Pirite took a sip of coffee and calmly said: “Relax, I had my beast scatter Stealth Powder on us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollon suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stealth Powder, natural powder from certain grass-type beasts, lowers one’s presence, making people subconsciously forget their appearance, even after direct interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had that powder been used? He hadn’t noticed at all…Apollon tensed, instinctively growing wary of the older man Qiao Sang had brought along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly remembered why he was here and didn’t dare waste any more time. He removed his mask, looked at Qiao Sang, and said solemnly: “I want Ice Aipalu to help heal someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I thought…Qiao Sang asked calmly, “Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father.” Apollon said, his tone heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has pancreatic cancer. It’s in the late stages. Doctors told me the only hope was to find someone with super-tier healing skills. I searched for a long time and finally found one willing to try. But after hearing my father’s condition, they said they couldn’t do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s when I realized… even super-tier healing skills have limitations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Qiao Sang, hope shining in his eyes: “I did my research, Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light can do it. Miss Qiao Sang, if you agree to help, I’ll agree to anything in return!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could state her terms, Apollon shot up from his seat, face full of excitement. “Thank you, thank you so much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion drew a few glances from nearby patrons, but they quickly lost interest and looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he had overreacted, Apollon quickly sat back down and tried to compose himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want me to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to join a beastmaster club.” Qiao Sang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirite: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirite gave Qiao Sang a baffled look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beastmaster club?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did she have to do with a beastmaster club?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang remained composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought it through, although Yuna had given her a stake in the club only in exchange for joining as a member, Qiao Sang knew that reaching king-level and competing interstellarly could still take a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the newly established beastmaster club was most in need of talented, well-known members. Apollon, a four-time champion of the pet arena tournaments, had both skill and fame. As someone from Chaosu Star who planned to stay here long-term, his joining would immediately boost the club’s visibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal!” Apollon agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, eager, he asked, “Can you help treat my father today? He’s in a hospital nearby. I can sign the contract with the club right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.” Qiao Sang smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you a contact. You can handle the contract with them directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My father…” Apollon tensed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The treatment can happen right away.” Qiao Sang reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, thank you so much!” Apollon once again jumped out of his chair, overwhelmed with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospital was only three kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went, completed the treatment, and returned, all within half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High above the ground, in flight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirite couldn’t hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you involved with a beastmaster club?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A high school classmate of mine started one. I’m a shareholder.” Qiao Sang answered frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be heading back to Blue Star soon and won’t be much help here, so I wanted to recommend some good talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high school classmate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this club even legit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t it collapse soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t having a four-time arena champion join such a club a huge waste?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, if the club would probably go under quickly, trading a brief servitude for his father’s recovery seemed worth it…Pirite stopped thinking about it and changed the subject: “Did you gain anything from today’s match?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “I think I should develop more gesture-based commands, just in case the pet can’t hear my verbal commands in the future, gestures can still get the message across.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, something seemed to occur to her. She asked: “What do the runes on Magical Clang and the Still Gaze Ladybug do? I didn’t really feel their impact during the match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirite was silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They allow pets to unleash greater energy than usual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see…Qiao Sang suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pirite added, “Your Ghost Ring King doesn’t have a decisive attack skill. It mainly relies on Shadow Control, which is more about crowd control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then offered a suggestion: “I think in the near future, you should have Ghost Ring King practice more offensive skills, or create a combo skill using Shadow of Darkness alongside an attack move. The earlier combo of Shadow of Darkness and Shadow Control was very effective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang thought about it, found the advice reasonable, and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10:03 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang returned to the villa and the first thing she saw was the vice principal in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Principal, you’re home so early today.\" Qiao Sang said in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to you, the materials were sorted out ahead of schedule.\" Liu Yao said as he brought out two plates of energy pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, let Yabao and the others come over and try them. These are newly made, let’s see how they taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao instantly jumped out of his beastmaster’s arms and ran to the energy pills, happily munching away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure teleported to the other plate of energy pills, reached out a paw, and was just about to grab one when Liu Yao swiftly pulled the plate away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure looked in confusion at the human who usually made delicious food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That one’s not for you.\" Liu Yao said as he brought out another plate from the kitchen and placed it in front of Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, he added, \"This is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure happily grabbed one and started eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let your Lubao and Gangbao come out too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Ai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words left her mouth, Lubao jumped out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang formed a seal with her hands and summoned Gangbao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lubao walked over to the energy pills, took a bite, wagged her tail instinctively, and looked satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gangbao took a bite, paused for a moment, then without a word, lowered her head and ate another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are all four of these energy pill types newly customized?\" Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\" Liu Yao replied, seeing how much they liked the pills. A rare smile appeared on his usually steady face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang said immediately, \"Thank you, Vice Principal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is what I should be doing.\" Liu Yao waved it off casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if he remembered something, he added: \"By the way, I’ve finished reading all five of your books. I’ll bring them to your room later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally finished! My points!Qiao Sang was overjoyed inside, though she only gave a slight smile on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush. Just hand them to me tomorrow at breakfast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang returned to her room and began thinking about Little Treasure's combo skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Little Treasure had plenty of offensive moves, but combining them with Shadow of Darkness was quite limiting. After all, Shadow of Darkness was just an illusion, so close-combat moves like Psychic Headbutt or Brick-Breaking were definitely out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will-o’-Wisp and Shadow Ball might work. While the power boost wouldn’t be huge, at least visually it would look much scarier when used with the phantom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if paired with the Intimidation trait, it might have some useful effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, Little Treasure had already trained Will-o’-Wisp to the ultimate level, but she hadn’t seen him use the move much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, her phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang picked it up and saw it was a call from Yuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She answered, and Yuna’s excited voice came through the speaker: \"How on earth did you recruit Apollon?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Apollon Novitsky, currently the most famous C-rank star beast master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t tell you?\" Qiao Sang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuna said sheepishly, \"I was too excited and forgot to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He asked me for a shot of Healing Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that explains it...\" Yuna instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Ice Aipalu and Healing Light had both been trending. She had seen them on the hot search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a suggestion.\" Yuna said suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What suggestion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suggest that while you're still here, you create an interstellar account.\" Yuna shared her idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That way, even when you return to Blue Star, people from Chaosu Star can still follow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang laughed upon hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence. I was just thinking the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d gotten the idea tonight while watching the match, seeing all those people who wanted Healing Light charging at her non-stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you’ve made it, send me your ID! I want to be your first fan!\" Yuna said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit more small talk, Qiao Sang hung up the phone, opened the interstellar web, and downloaded an app called Starlink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the users registering on this app were humans from different stars, and it was one of the most popular apps on Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, logging in required the interstellar net, which cost money, so Qiao Sang hadn’t considered downloading it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment at the 'nickname' field, then finally typed in three words: [Genius Yet Again]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Little Treasure floated over and sweetly asked if he could play on the computer now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at it and suddenly said, \"Give me a feel of your Intimidation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure didn’t understand but instinctively adjusted his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He furrowed his brows and put on a \"I’m watching you…\" face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang went quiet for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go practice your intimidation skills first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confused!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he just asking to play on the computer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did not only he got denied but also be told to go train instead?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Next Day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang received the five books the vice principal handed her at breakfast and had Little Treasure teleport to the library during break to return them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>6:30 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outdoor Beastmaster Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies and gentlemen!
