You can go train now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done with what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao’s face turned puzzled, but in the end, his eagerness to train won out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gathered energy, creating a hundred clones at once, threw open the door, and rushed out in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a spectacular scene didn’t catch Mikayla’s attention at all. She was still stunned by the crimson star array she had witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, a red star array only required the Beast Master’s brain domain to reach 50%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary Beast Masters, that was a chasm, a wall they could never cross in their lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Mikayla, it had only ever been a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had risen to fame young, hailed as Eagle Country's once-in-a-century genius. She awakened on her own at ten years old, her brain domain’s breakthroughs as smooth as eating or drinking water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the age of thirty, she reached 50%, a level most people struggled against their whole lives, becoming the pride of her entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone around her had been geniuses as well. Even if they hadn’t reached 50% as quickly as she had, they had all broken through before becoming grandparents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when she became a mentor at the Imperial Beast University, she encountered even more prodigies in every field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew well: Geniuses weren’t rare in this world. Many shone in their early or middle years, only to be surpassed later by those once weaker than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some geniuses even grew old and died, while she still retained her youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she never truly held the so-calledgeniusesin special regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qiao Sang… was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To describe this child with just the wordgeniuswas far too shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mikayla had first read Qiao Sang’s records, she knew this child was born for beast taming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could train a General-level pet to develop a Super-tier skill, except through rare innate talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qiao Sang had done it, twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, she had nurtured two pets into entirely new evolutionary forms, unseen in the history of the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not stalled halfway evolutions either, but smooth, complete transformations, as if the paths had always been meant to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla had mentally prepared herself before officially becoming Qiao Sang’s mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality surpassed her imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>50% brain domain, at not even eighteen years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had broken through more than a decade faster than Mikayla had herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t genius. This was monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No… beyond monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how long had passed before she finally broke free from her shock. Her gaze turned complicated as she asked: “Your brain domain broke through to 50%?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, you asked… Qiao Sang straightened proudly, voice firm: “Mm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla inhaled deeply, steadied her emotions, and asked, “How did you break through?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you, because of the Sawtooth Dragon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang vividly recounted, “It was wandering around the course aimlessly, so I suggested it check out the Flight Tournament. To my surprise, it agreed! Oh, that was actually Little Treasure’s suggestion. My ideas weren’t its favorite…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure puffed up with pride, nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something Qiao Sang could’ve explained in a minute stretched into ten as she enthusiastically detailed every word exchanged with the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla listened intently, like a student hanging on a teacher’s lesson about pet beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Sang finally finished, Mikayla fell silent for a long time before confirming: “You’re saying… you fell from the sky, the shock to your brain made you break through to 50%?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla went silent again, then asked once more: “Nothing else happened? No other factors while you were falling? You weren’t just too tense to notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” Qiao Sang shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla simply couldn’t digest this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling from the sky could certainly stimulate the brain. But to push a 49% brain domain to 50%? Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were that easy, wouldn’t every Beast Master be leaping from the skies daily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying to process it for a long while and failing, Mikayla finally stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get some rest. I… will return to my room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. You too, Teacher.” Qiao Sang replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla rose, dazed, opened the door, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing her teacher off, Qiao Sang excitedly turned to Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring out the laptop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure removed the ring and quickly retrieved the laptop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang powered it on, logged into the Imperial Beast University’s official site, and entered the Imperial Class page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered last time, in the points exchange section, there had been many rare beasts and beast eggs available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t looked closely before, since her brain domain hadn’t broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it had, so she had to carefully study what kind of pet to contract as her fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon-types were strong, top of the food chain, offensively and defensively unmatched. But costly in both time and money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with her current savings, raising one was feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electric-types were also appealing. Their offensive power was overwhelming, and with only Yabao as her primary attacker, a lightning-type could cover her weaknesses in the Interstellar Cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical-types… no. Not now.Their functions were incredible, like the Department's mech-beast that could deliver acceptance letters across star systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But raising one to Interstellar Cup standards would require devoting almost all her time to mechanical studies, leaving little for her other pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Alliance history, no top competitor had ever relied on mechanical-types in the Cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe in the future, but not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited yet rational, she clicked open the beasts-for-points section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rows of rare beasts and eggs appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Ashfire Dragon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Type: Beast\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Details: Purebred Ashfire Dragon.

Then, in a flash of brilliant white, it soared like a rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the heck is that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people saw the streak of white and whipped out their phones.

This method doesn’t work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Flight Tournament Zone B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lan stared at Qiao Sang, once, twice, thrice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you staring at?” She asked, annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… look different.” She said honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Beast Master’s brain domain hit 50%, the Beast Codex gained another page, their lifespan extended, but the most visible change was in appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White hair turned black, wrinkles vanished, age reversed ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang was still young, so instead of younger, her skin had become smoother, her features more refined, her aura carrying a subtle nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such was the metamorphosis of the 50% mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe because my brain domain broke through yesterday.” Qiao Sang said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No breakthrough changes someone that much, unless it was a major one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breakthroughs from 29 to 30, 49 to 50, 59 to 60, those weremajor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang only smiled, not explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Must be a pet breakthrough, Fang Lan thought. Pets’ progress sometimes reflected directly on their masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she had entered the Regional Tournament, she was technically her rival. It made sense she’d conceal details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she had only completed four missions so far.
