Chapter 1050

The next day, Qiao Sang woke up at 8:30 AM.

After a simple wash and breakfast, she took Like Ya Bao and the others to the Imperial Beast Taming Academy.

Along the way, Little Tinglong sat on Like Ya Bao's back the entire time.

Although Like Ya Bao didn't like outsiders sitting on its back, it clearly didn't mind Little Tinglong, a hatchling that had received its help while still in the egg.

Little Tinglong looked around, full of curiosity about the surrounding scenery.

Little Xunbao held a laptop, invisible in mid-air, searching for tasks.

Qiao Sang walked through the main gate of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy and followed the navigation on the school's official website to the Energy Pavilion.

Compared to other teaching buildings, the Energy Pavilion was clearly much quieter, with few people coming and going.

A mechanical-type pet beast, only about one meter tall, blocked the entrance.

Qiao Sang handed over her student ID.

The mechanical-type pet beast took it, its eyes glowing green as it scanned the card.

A moment later, it stepped aside, signaling that she could enter.

Qiao Sang took back her student ID, stepped inside, and followed the signs to a door as black as ink.

Besides a blonde boy and a red duck-type pet beast, there were no other people or pets at the entrance.

Qiao Sang walked over and observed the door.

Just as she was about to knock, the blonde boy said in a certain tone:

"This is your first time here, right?"

Qiao Sang turned her head, confirmed he was talking to her, and asked:

"How did you know?"

"The Energy Pavilion opens at 9:00 AM," the blonde boy said. "If you disturb Men Zhongzhong before this time, it will delay your scheduled entry time."

Qiao Sang was stunned:

"Men Zhongzhong?"

The blonde boy gestured toward the door with his eyes:

"That's it."

This is actually a pet beast... Qiao Sang looked at the pitch-black door in front of her in astonishment.

You couldn't tell at all!

Immediately, she thought of something and took out her phone to check the time:

8:43 AM.

There were still 17 minutes until 9:00... Qiao Sang calculated subconsciously.

Just as she was thinking, a light breeze blew past.

Immediately after, a blue energy barrier appeared in front of the entire door.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao covered its head, retreated to its beast tamer's side, and manifested.

The pitch-black door slowly opened a pair of eyes like black buttons and let out a majestic sound:

"Men men."

At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of the door with a line of text:

【The time hasn't come yet, who disturbed me?】

The blonde boy looked over with a sympathetic gaze.

Good heavens, it even comes with its own translator... Qiao Sang was startled and felt it was truly magical.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao looked at its beast tamer, showing a pitiful expression that said, "I didn't mean to."

It just wanted to float in and take a look first; who knew this big guy would have a barrier?

It's fine, we'll just go in a bit later... Qiao Sang comforted Qingbao with her eyes, looked at the door, and said:

"It was me."

"Men men." Men Zhongzhong let out a sound.

The text on the virtual screen in front changed:

【Take out your student ID.】

Qiao Sang obeyed.

A blue beam of light scanned down from above the door.

After about three seconds, Men Zhongzhong's eyes curved, and its voice suddenly became attentive:

"Men men~"

A new line of text appeared on the virtual screen:

【Dear student Qiao Sang, you have indeed reserved a time for today. Would you like to enter now?】

The blonde boy next to her saw the text, froze, and stared at Qiao Sang in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that someone could make Men Zhongzhong treat them so differently.

Qiao Sang was also stunned, then nodded:

"I would like to go in now."

"Men men~" Men Zhongzhong let out a sound in the same tone, then the blue barrier disappeared, and the door slowly opened.

Qiao Sang gave the blonde boy a look that said, "Didn't you say disturbing Men Zhongzhong would delay the time?" and walked in with Like Ya Bao and the others.

The door slowly closed.

The blonde boy and the red duck-type pet beast looked at each other in confusion.

Could it be that the rules have changed? The blonde boy pondered for a moment and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Men Zhongzhong opened its eyes, its tone majestic:

"Men men?"

A virtual screen appeared with the text:

【Are you the one who disturbed me?】

The blonde boy took out his student ID, consciously aimed it at the scanner, and said:

"I also have an energy bath reservation for today."

A blue beam of light scanned down.

"Men men." Men Zhongzhong's eyes didn't change, and it let out a cold, heartless sound.

A line of text appeared on the virtual screen:

【The energy bath opening time hasn't arrived yet. You disturbed me early; come back in two hours.】

The blonde boy: "!!!"

The blonde boy shouted in disbelief: "Why! That girl before could go in!"

"Men men." Men Zhongzhong, which was about to close its eyes, opened them again and let out a sound.

The text on the virtual screen changed:

【Not only did you disturb me early, but you also bothered me. Please come back in four hours.】

The blonde boy: "..."

Inside the door.

A huge circular energy pool came into view.

On a lounge chair nearby, a woman who looked to be in her thirties with black skin looked over, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Then, seemingly thinking of something, she raised her hand, checked the time on her watch, and asked:

"Are you from the Imperial Class?"

This is clearly a teacher... Qiao Sang used an honorific:

"How did you know?"

"Because Men Zhongzhong only lets people from the Imperial Class enter early," the black-skinned woman explained.

So that's how it is; I almost thought that student at the door was lying to me... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Give me your student ID," the woman said.

Qiao Sang handed over her student ID.

The woman took it, scanned it with her phone, handed it back, and said:

"You only have one quota, so only one pet beast is allowed to enter the energy bath."

As she spoke, she scanned Like Ya Bao and the others: "Have you decided which pet beast will go in?"

Qiao Sang nodded:

"I have."

After speaking, she nodded at Gangbao, and Gangbao stepped forward.

"Go in," the woman instructed. "Come out when you feel pain in your body."

"Gang qiu." Gangbao nodded, flapped its wings, and flew into the energy bath.

This place is much more user-friendly than Super Star; you can even watch from the side... Qiao Sang sighed and sat down on the nearby lounge chair.

In the energy pool.

A steady stream of energy poured into its body, and Gangbao showed a comfortable expression.

Little Xunbao was seriously searching for tasks and didn't pay much attention.

A breeze blew over the energy pool, and the pool water rippled slightly.

The woman glanced in the direction of the energy pool and said calmly:

"If any pet beast other than the quota enters the energy pool, you will have to pay extra points or receive a major demerit."

Qiao Sang asked cooperatively:

"How many points?"

"At least 10,000 points to start," the woman said with a smile. "Because pet beasts other than the quota are not allowed to enter."

That's quite strict, but then again, otherwise this quota wouldn't be so precious... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

A breeze blew, and Qingbao floated to its beast tamer's side, pretending it hadn't gone anywhere just now.

"Ting..."

Little Tinglong looked at the energy pool in front of it, took a deep breath, and its eyes lit up as if it had smelled something it liked. It climbed down from Like Ya Bao's back and hurried toward the energy pool.

However, before it could crawl two steps, its tail was gently pressed down by Like Ya Bao's front paw.

"Ting!"

Little Tinglong couldn't move no matter what, so it turned its head and let out a dissatisfied sound.

"Ya ya."

"Ya ya."

Like Ya Bao taught it earnestly, indicating that it couldn't just go in there, as their beast tamer was too poor and couldn't afford it.

Like Ya Bao has really grown up, becoming more and more like a big brother, but its way of speaking is as blunt as ever... Qiao Sang's mouth twitched slightly, but she also felt inexplicably relieved.

"Ting?"

Little Tinglong showed a confused expression.

Their beast tamer?

"Ya ya."

Like Ya Bao pointed at Qiao Sang.

"Ting..."

Little Tinglong stared at Qiao Sang for two seconds, showed a frustrated expression, and silently crawled back onto Like Ya Bao's back.

This Little Tinglong is quite smart, knowing what "poor" and "can't afford" mean... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

At this time, the woman said:

"I heard that one of the students in your Imperial Class has contracted a legendary pet beast. Is this true?"

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: "It's true."

The woman made a "tsk" sound and asked again: "What's its name?"

"Qiao Sang," Qiao Sang said.

The woman remembered the student ID she had seen earlier, reacted quickly, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "You are that student who contracted the legendary pet beast?"

Qiao Sang straightened her back:

"It's me."

The woman's gaze swept over Like Ya Bao and the others one by one, then said:

"You should also have a pet beast that can turn into wind nearby."

Did she know in advance that the contracted pet beast was the legendary Qingqingni? Qiao Sang pretended to be surprised and asked:

"How did you know?"

Spirit Vision usually only sees pet beasts with pure invisibility characteristics, and Qingbao doesn't belong to this category.

"Because a pet beast that can turn into wind just wanted to enter the energy bath," the woman replied.

What? Qiao Sang turned her head in astonishment and looked in the direction where Qingbao had turned into wind.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao appeared, blinked its eyes, and let out an innocent sound, indicating that it was just looking from above and didn't go in.

That's true, although Qingbao's personality has changed a lot, it's still quite sensible overall... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman looked at Qingbao for a few seconds, then her eyes lit up:

"The pet beast you contracted is the legendary Qingyin Fairy."

Qiao Sang said "Mm."

"Qingqing." Qingbao smiled and greeted her.

The woman was charmed, her heart stirred, and she beckoned to Qingbao, softening her voice:

"Come here, let me touch you."

"Qingqing~"

Qingbao let out a sweet sound but didn't go over.

"What did it say?" the woman asked.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and helped translate:

"It said if you let it soak in the energy bath, you can touch it."

"Qingqing." Qingbao nodded, indicating that was correct.

The woman was silent for a few seconds and laughed:

"I would like to let you in, but unfortunately, the quota for the energy bath is not under my control."

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao sighed, then floated to the woman's side and picked up her hand to place it on its body.

The woman was stunned.

Qiao Sang coughed and said:

"It was probably just joking just now."

"Qingqing." Qingbao nodded.

The woman laughed sincerely, then raised her hand and pressed it on her watch.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air.

"Bring a plate of Niannian Fruit over."

After about ten seconds, a plate of Niannian Fruit appeared out of thin air on the table next to them.

The woman pushed the Niannian Fruit in front of Qingbao and said:

"Eat, you should like it."

"Qingqing~"

Qingbao let out a sweet sound, came to the Niannian Fruit, picked one up, and started gnawing on it.

"Ting..."

Little Tinglong saw this, seemed to understand something, moved its body to the woman's side, and looked up at her.

The woman lowered her head and looked at it.

"Ting." Little Tinglong let out a sound.

"What did it say?" the woman asked.

"Ya ya." Like Ya Bao helped translate.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: "It wants you to touch it too."

Hearing this, the woman laughed and said while reaching out:

"This is Little Tinglong, right? It's a pity, I don't have any tree fruits for dragon-type pet beasts..."

"Ting!"

Little Tinglong's face fell instantly, and yellow electric arcs surged over its body.

The woman was caught off guard, struck by the lightning, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly said:

"Teacher, are you okay?"

The woman retracted her hand as if nothing had happened and said calmly: "I'm fine."

Little Tinglong moved its body and crawled back onto Like Ya Bao's back.

Teachers at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy are truly extraordinary; they don't even change their expression when struck by lightning... Qiao Sang admired her inwardly and explained:

"My Little Tinglong just hatched, and it can't control the electric energy in its body very well yet."

The woman glanced at Qiao Sang and exposed it:

"It clearly heard that I didn't have dragon-type tree fruits and didn't want me to touch it anymore."

Qiao Sang showed an awkward smile.

She saw through it...

"Dragon-type pet beasts are generally arrogant," the woman said, lying back on the lounge chair. "I was mentally prepared."

Arrogant, huh... Qiao Sang's gaze fell on Little Tinglong.

Time passed slowly.

I don't know how long it had been, but a dazzling white light finally shone from Gangbao's body in the energy bath.

Qiao Sang was energized and stood up abruptly.

When the white light faded.

A pet beast with a huge body, covered in hard purple armor, with silver turbine-like devices on the upper sides of its wings, several silver stripes on its body, a conical protrusion on the top of its head armor, a silver-white metal bridge of the nose, dark red irises, and purple pupils appeared in the energy bath.

Gangqiu Kai'en... The race name of Gangbao's current appearance appeared in Qiao Sang's mind.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao looked over and let out a sound.

After coming out of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, Qiao Sang went straight to the nearby Beast Taming Center.

It took a whole afternoon, and after multi-party verification, Gangbao's King-tier form and race name were officially determined, and the data was updated.

Returning home and having dinner, Like Ya Bao and the others went to the outdoor training ground one after another.

Except for Little Xunbao, who said it had found a task and was going to earn points.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Tinglong following behind Like Ya Bao, remembered what the teacher in the Energy Pavilion had said, and couldn't help but walk up and pick it up.

"Ting!"

Little Tinglong was suddenly lifted into the air, startled, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

At this time, Qiao Sang asked:

"How about we get along well from now on?"

"Ting..."

Hearing the voice, Little Tinglong realized who had picked it up, and the electric arcs on its body dissipated subconsciously.

It turned its head and looked at the human in front of it.

"Let me give you a name," Qiao Sang said. "Tingbao, do you like it?"

Dragon-type pet beasts are generally arrogant, but so what? Among the pet beasts she contracted, except for Lubao, none of the personalities described in the pet beast identifier were easy to get along with.

Little Tinglong stopped going to the energy bath after knowing it was "poor," so she believed she could get along with it.
