Chapter 1298: Battle Assessment

"Isn't this a bit too fast?" Qiao Sang tried to refuse: "I heard that the assessment for A-level professional Beast Tamers basically has a one-year period; how about we conduct the next battle assessment in a few months."

Lei De looked at her and asked: "You don't want to conduct the battle assessment now?"

Qiao Sang honestly said "Mm": "If I had more time to prepare, I would have more confidence."

I could agree to you, but the people above seem not to want you to prepare for too long... Lei De mourned for a second in his heart for the monstrous Beast Tamer before him.

Being valued by those above is a lucky thing, but also an unfortunate thing.

They value potential and develop it to the fullest; if you don't meet their expectations, they will abandon you without mercy.

Oh no, the person before him is still just a child; with her potential and strength, it is absolutely impossible for her to be abandoned.

Thinking of this, Lei De instantly put away his sympathy and smiled:

"I thought you had confidence before you signed up for the A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment."

You think I wanted to sign up so fast... Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala with quite a bit of resentment.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala noticed the gaze and silently looked elsewhere, pretending she hadn't noticed.

"Must it be now?" Qiao Sang asked.

"The assessment for A-level professional Beast Tamers is basically arranged as soon as the mission assessment ends, based on the examiner's time, for the next battle assessment," Lei De said unhurriedly. "I just happen to have time now."

That means it must be conducted now.

"But don't be too nervous," he continued. "You are still young; even if you don't pass the assessment this time, you still have plenty of time to sign up again in the future."

You saying that makes me even more nervous... Qiao Sang sighed in her heart, knowing that this matter was settled, stopped struggling, and asked:

"Where are we going to conduct the assessment?"

"Professional Beast Tamer Assessment Center," Lei De said. "You can rest for a bit and come over an hour later; I'll go reserve the venue first."

Professional Beast Tamer Assessment Center, as the name suggests, is a place specifically for professional Beast Tamer assessments.

Generally speaking, when a Beast Tamer is powerful to a certain degree, it is not suitable to battle at the Beast Taming Center, or the venue at the Beast Taming Center is insufficient, so it is necessary to conduct the assessment at the Professional Beast Tamer Assessment Center.

As he spoke, he raised his hand, looked at the time on his watch, and said:

"10:15, I'll wait for you there."

After saying this, the cat-type pet beast with a yellow gem embedded in its forehead beside him had blue light shimmer in its eyes, and it took him and vanished from the spot.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone and looked; the time was 9:15 in the morning.

"Really not giving me even a minute more." Qiao Sang sighed.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't speak but fell into deep thought.

"Teacher, what are you thinking about?" Qiao Sang saw this and asked.

"The examiner in charge of you seems a bit off," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "What's off about him?"

"Reserving a venue at the Professional Beast Tamer Assessment Center basically requires booking a day in advance, but he is prepared to book it on the same day, and even let you go over an hour later; he seems very urgent," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said in a low voice.

Qiao Sang thought of something and hurriedly asked:

"Then can he book it?"

If he couldn't book it, wouldn't she at least have another day to prepare?

"He can book it," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said slowly. "He is an examiner specifically for A-level professional Beast Tamer assessments; for an examiner of this level, he still has this bit of priority."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's expression couldn't hide her disappointment, and she said: "He might have other things to do."

Regardless of whether this examiner named Lei De is off or not, since he is the examiner, she couldn't avoid the assessment time he arranged.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't continue this topic and said:

"Let's go back first."

Qiao Sang said "Mm" and looked at Little Xiao Xunbao on the side.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao understood, blue light shimmered in its eyes, and it took its Beast Tamer and her teacher and vanished from the spot.

Hotel suite.

Qiao Sang, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, and Little Xiao Xunbao appeared out of thin air.

"Ya Ya!"

Like Ya Bao immediately chirped at Little Xiao Xunbao with dissatisfaction, indicating why it didn't take it along.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao hurriedly explained.

I thought we were going and coming back immediately, so I didn't take you.

"Ya Ya!"

Like Ya Bao was still dissatisfied and chirped, indicating that wherever its Beast Tamer goes, it also wants to go.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly, indicating that it knew, and in the future, when it takes its Beast Tamer away, it will definitely take Like Ya Bao, big brother, along too.

"Ya Ya."

Like Ya Bao then revealed a satisfied expression and chirped.

On the other side, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala had already started chatting with Qiao Sang:

"I went to check; this examiner named Lei De is an A-level professional Beast Tamer who entered the Beast Taming Alliance at 502 years old and has always served as an examiner."

"How much? 502 years old?" Qiao Sang was shocked.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled: "What's there to be surprised about? If an A-level professional Beast Tamer doesn't meet with an accident, the average age is as high as a thousand years old. It's just that competitions related to A-level professional Beast Tamers all have age restrictions, so the A-level professional Beast Tamers who appear in the public eye are relatively young, while those veteran A-level professional Beast Tamers either retire or work in the Beast Taming Alliance."

She had actually heard of the average age of A-level professional Beast Tamers, but this was the first time she had seen an A-level professional Beast Tamer of such an old age with her own eyes... Qiao Sang then thought of something and asked:

"Then how old is he now?"

"940 years old," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang widened her eyes: "940 years old?!"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said "Mm."

"A 940-year-old A-level professional Beast Tamer, this, how can I beat this..." Qiao Sang's heart shook violently.

Preparing for a month was already a bit rushed, and now, coupled with learning the examiner's age, to be honest, she felt unprecedented pressure and had a strong premonition that she might have to fight again next year.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala glanced at her and smiled: "Why are you so unconfident in yourself? This doesn't look like the you I know."

Qiao Sang looked at her with quite a bit of resentment: "If I participated in the A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment in a few months, I might be more confident."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala coughed and said seriously: "I've seen plenty of A-level professional Beast Tamers who are over 900 years old, but I only know you as a Beast Tamer who can participate in the A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment at ten-something years old."

"Besides, you had a certain degree of confidence before you made that call, didn't you."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she didn't refute.

Indeed, the training during this period gave her some confidence in the assessment. If she didn't have a certain degree of confidence, she wouldn't have logged onto the official website of the Beast Taming Center after Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's reminder and clicked mission submission, but would have clicked submit an hour before the deadline tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang withdrew her resentful gaze, looked at Like Ya Bao and the others, and said:

"Prepare, we are going to participate in the battle assessment."

"Ya Ya!"

"Xun Xun~"

"Steel Power."

"Qing Qing."

10:15 in the morning.

Professional Beast Tamer Assessment Center.

"Sorry, today's venue has already been reserved; you can book for the next time," the staff member said.

"No, I already booked the venue yesterday; why are you asking me to book for the next time now? I still have the notification text message you sent," the burly man said with dissatisfaction.

As he spoke, he took out his phone, preparing to let the staff member take a good look at that text message.

"Because of special circumstances, today's venue has already been used; you can book for the next time," the staff member said, his tone unchanged.

The man frowned and said: "What special circumstances?"

"It is said that there is an A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment today," a lady in a long dress beside him sighed. "I also booked for today, and it was also canceled."

The staff member didn't speak, which was considered an admission.

"A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment..." The man was stunned for a moment, instantly forgetting about his own assessment, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Is it now? Can I go see it?"

Generally, professional Beast Tamer assessments are in open-air battlefields; as long as it is outside the venue range, the staff member basically doesn't stop it.

"No, sir," the staff member said coldly and ruthlessly. "The A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment has a large attack range; for everyone's safety, we have already locked down the venue and forbidden entry."

Hearing this, the man revealed a disappointed expression.

The A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment is a rare sight; what a pity, actually can't see it...

At the same time, Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Mi Jiala were led by the staff member to the battle assessment venue.

Watching the A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment is forbidden, but S-level Beast Tamers are absolutely not in the category of being forbidden to watch.

The moment Teacher Mi Mi Jiala showed her Beast Taming Badge, the staff member instantly shut up and led the way respectfully.

Soon, she was led by the staff member to the viewing area.

Penjiamei, Long Dawang, Jiubugu, Xia Lala, and Jisi Dan were accompanying on the side.

This examiner is actually almost a thousand years old; you really can't tell at all. Just from his appearance, he looks about the same as her maternal grandfather... Qiao Sang stood firm on the venue, looked at the examiner in the distance, her expression extremely complex.

"You're here," Lei De went straight to the point. "I'll state the competition rules first: a total of three battles, two 1V1 battles, and one 2V2 double-teaming battle; only if you win all of them will you pass the A-level professional Beast Tamer assessment."

"In the three battle assessments, pet beasts cannot be repeatedly summoned for battle."

"If traces of using external forces such as potions, props, and spirit patterns are discovered, you will directly lose the qualification for the assessment."

"Do you understand?"

Qiao Sang nodded: "Understood."

"That's good," Lei De said while operating on his phone.

Immediately following, a square pet beast phantom glowing with silver light all over descended out of thin air.

Inspector... The identity of the phantom flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.

Compared to last time, its eyes were clearly more spirited, just like a robot that had suddenly gained life.

The square pet beast glowing with silver light all over had blue light shimmer in its eyes and looked left and right, as if confirming its identity.

A moment later, it came to the center of the venue and chirped:

"Shen Shen."

Qiao Sang and Lei De were on both sides of the venue, not moving; they had already stood in their respective areas.

The square pet beast glowing with silver light all over looked left and right again, and then spoke in human language:

"This battle assessment is a 1V1 battle; please summon the pet beast for this battle after the countdown ends. Once summoned, you can battle; there is no time limit for the battle."

After saying this, it looked forward.

At the same time, a "10" phantom began to appear where its gaze was directed.

Along with its countdown, the phantom began to change.

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2..."

Absolutely cannot lose; if I lose, I'll have to stay on the Flame Heaven Star for the assessment next year... Qiao Sang slowly exhaled, her gaze becoming firm.

"1." The digital phantom vanished.

Qiao Sang formed seals with the fastest hand speed of her life at the first moment.

Lei De's expression was unhurried, but his hands forming seals were fast as phantoms; one couldn't see his movements at all.

Almost simultaneously, two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up in front of each of them.

"Ya Ya!"

Soon, the fully formed Like Ya Bao appeared in the star array; it raised its head and let out an excited roar.

Following its roar, a chaotic airflow immediately appeared around it.

Suddenly, Like Ya Bao sensed something, teleported and vanished, and appeared in the sky hundreds of meters away.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, a pet beast with a body size of about thirty meters, deep blue overall, white abdomen, distinct muscle lines, a wide and flat tail, sharp and focused eyes, two white whiskers on each side of its mouth, and holding two giant water blades appeared in the position where Like Ya Bao had originally been.

The ground beneath its feet collapsed; it could be foreseen that if Like Ya Bao hadn't left just now, it would definitely have suffered a huge attack.

Martial Arts Sect Otter, a King-level pet beast with dual water and fighting attributes; its whiskers can sense the direction of water flow in the sea, it basically inhabits turbulent sea areas to train its strength, has a serious personality, and will strive to complete any task entrusted to it... The data of the pet beast in the distance flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.

Water and fighting attributes, huh... The Martial Arts Sect Otter cannot go to the sky; even if it jumps into the sky by relying on powerful leg strength, it is impossible to stay on it forever... Various thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, and she opened her mouth:

"Gravity Purgatory."

"Ya Ya!"

Like Ya Bao's expression was excited, blue light shimmered in its eyes, and then it turned into a streak of fire and rushed downward.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Like Ya Bao rushed to a position about ten meters above the Martial Arts Sect Otter.

Following its descent, an invisible force rushed downward, covering the entire venue.

The ground instantly showed signs of severe collapse.

The muscles on the Martial Arts Sect Otter's body tightened slightly, but its figure didn't sway at all, and its knees didn't even bend by a single degree.

Is this a King-level pet beast of the fighting attribute? Gravity doesn't seem to have caused it the slightest impact... Qiao Sang's heart sank slightly.

As thoughts flickered, the Martial Arts Sect Otter raised its claw, and the giant water blade in its right claw suddenly increased to several meters and slashed straight toward Like Ya Bao's position.

The length to which the water blade increased was just enough to accurately slash onto Like Ya Bao's body.

Yet, just at this moment, Like Ya Bao vanished in the air and appeared on the ground not far away.

"Boom!!!"

The moment it landed, the ground exploded, and dark red, boiling magma gushed out from within, instantly turning the entire venue into a purgatory.

ps: I hope everyone will vote to support Qiao Sang, but please don't spend money to vote! Even if I don't make it into the top ten, I will still add updates! ===== CHAPTER 1299 =====
