Chapter 973: Fifth Round

Becoming an A-level Beast Tamer... It feels so far away... Qiao Sang was slightly dazed.

B-level Beast Tamers are basically big-shot figures and a hurdle for ordinary Beast Tamers for a lifetime. A-level Beast Tamers are almost giant figures, to the extent that anything they say might become a famous quote.

Tao Yunkai thought for a few seconds and said:

"Okay."

After saying these two words, she smiled: "Let's eat first, talk while eating."

If Qiao Sang were attending another top institution, she couldn't have agreed so quickly, but Qiao Sang was attending the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, which ranked first on the Blue Star.

And the person before her was, according to investigation, an honorary mentor of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy and also an S-level Beast Tamer.

For such a person to accompany Qiao Sang to the Zhongkong region of the Dragon Country to participate in the regional competition, she had no doubt about the importance the Imperial Beast Taming Academy placed on Qiao Sang.

Teacher Mi Jiala then revealed a smile, picked up her chopsticks, picked up the dish in front of her, and tasted it.

"Delicious," she praised.

"Try the signature dish of this place; no one who comes here says it's not delicious," Tao Yunkai pointed to a dish next to her that was covered in sauce and said.

As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Sang, her smile genuine:

"You try it too."

Qiao Sang picked up a piece of the fish belly she pointed to and put it in her mouth.

The texture was springy and glutinous, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao appeared, staring at the plate of fish belly.

Qiao Sang noticed Little Xunbao's gaze, picked up a piece, put it into the empty plate next to it, and said warmly:

"Eat."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xunbao's eyes curved, and it learned from its Beast Tamer, picked up chopsticks, and tried to pick it up and put it in its mouth.

Tao Yunkai saw this scene, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she turned to chat with Teacher Mi Jiala, occasionally bringing the topic to Qiao Sang.

When the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, she returned to the main topic: "It's no problem for Qiao Sang not to train in the Beast Taming Battle Team, but there are many contestants in the National Beast Taming Bureau working hard for the competition. If she wants to obtain the main force battle quota for international competitions, she must first defeat the others in the Beast Taming Battle Team."

Everyone was an old fox who understood as soon as they were pointed out. One could understand what the other party wanted to express by just saying a sentence.

This Master Teacher Mi Jiala from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy wanted to cultivate Qiao Sang herself and didn't want her to enter the Beast Taming Battle Team to do random sparring and be a substitute.

After all, members who just entered the national team, especially young members, had no seniority. Unless they had enough strength to beat the others in the team, they would all climb up bit by bit and obtain the quota to participate in the competition through their own strength.

Sometimes, for substitutes in some international competitions, they spent unimaginable hardships to fight for the opportunity.

Although she was a coach, she wasn't the head coach and didn't have the qualification to designate a certain team member to become a main force and participate in international competitions right away.

"Rest assured," Teacher Mi Jiala drank a mouthful of soup and said: "Qiao Sang will obtain the main force qualification to participate in the competition herself."

When she said this, she was calm and composed, and her tone was unconsciously full of confidence.

"Okay," Tao Yunkai smiled: "When the contract is drafted, I will send it over."

Entering any country's national team basically required signing a contract, which was equivalent to having a position.

Professional Beast Tamers wanted to enhance their strength, and every stage was a not-small expenditure. This position not only guaranteed the stable income and professional development of the Beast Tamer during their service, but also provided a guarantee after retirement.

However, correspondingly, one had to pay for more arduous training.

"I hope the requirement of not restricting activities and development, not mandatorily requiring assembly, training, and competition can be added," Teacher Mi Jiala said while eating.

It's really good to have Master Teacher Mi Jiala here; there's nothing to worry about... Qiao Sang drank soup silently.

To be honest, even if she hadn't come into contact with the Dragon Country Beast Taming Battle Team before, she knew that this requirement was a bit excessive, because the members of the National Beast Taming Bureau were based on training and competition.

Tao Yunkai looked at Qiao Sang, recalled her age, the pet beasts she signed, and her performance on the field, and nodded:

"Okay."

Sometimes, when a genius reaches a certain level, they can make some rules give way.

Qiao Sang was such a genius.

This dinner was quite pleasant. Finally, Qiao Sang also added Coach Tao's contact information.

"If you have any problems in the future, you can come to find me," Tao Yunkai put her phone back in her pocket, then thought of something and smiled:

"You have to become an A-level Beast Tamer early. I look forward to seeing you at the National Beast Taming Bureau."

Actually, if you invite me, I can go visit the National Beast Taming Bureau tomorrow... Qiao Sang complained inwardly, but on the surface, she looked positive and upward, saying:

"I will work hard!"

Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala walked out of the Heavenly King Hotel.

"Your Dragon Country coach is quite easy to talk to," Teacher Mi Jiala smiled.

Originally, she thought they would have to argue about the time, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.

Qiao Sang looked at the sky and sighed:

"Maybe I really am a talent."

Teacher Mi Jiala: "..."

"Ya ya!"

Like Ya Bao called out, agreeing with its Beast Tamer's statement, indicating that was for sure.

At this moment, a passerby shouted in surprise not far away:

"Qiao Sang!"

Almost everyone's gaze focused over instantly.

Little Xunbao was prepared, appeared, its eyes glowed with blue light, and it took Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala away from the spot.

Suburban villa.

The Huji Tiger opened the door.

Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala walked into the living room.

Although Little Xunbao could teleport directly into the room, out of politeness, they would enter from the door.

Yu Ke heard the movement, put down her phone, turned her head, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise:

"You're here!"

Qiao Sang said "Mm".

"I just saw someone say they saw you at the Heavenly King Hotel," Yu Ke said.

It really feels like a celebrity, with whereabouts known everywhere... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and responded:

"I just came from there."

"Did you move to a different place?" Yu Ke asked.

Qiao Sang replied: "No, I went there to eat."

Just as Yu Ke was about to say something else, Teacher Mi Jiala shouted from the glass door leading to the open-air field: "Come train."

"Coming!" Qiao Sang said, walking quickly toward the open-air field.

Yu Ke had no choice but to hold back the words she originally wanted to say.

She took out her phone again, turned it on, stared at the photo of Coach Tao Yunkai of the National Beast Taming Bureau walking out of the Heavenly King Hotel for a few seconds, and then put the phone down.

Open-air training field.

Teacher Mi Jiala asked:

"What is your feeling after this round of competition?"

Qiao Sang said seriously:

"The strength of a B-level Beast Tamer is indeed much stronger than that of a C-level Beast Tamer."

Teacher Mi Jiala: "..."

"For the Ice Emperor Ram's match, actually, you could have won more easily," Teacher Mi Jiala said.

Qiao Sang paused and quickly assumed an attitude of seeking knowledge:

"How so?"

In her view, this match was really won very arduously. If it hadn't been for the attack hitting the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth, she felt it would have been impossible to break its defense at all.

"Ice Emperor." Lubao looked at its Beast Tamer's mentor.

"Ice Heaven Domain, an Ice-type domain skill. Releasing Ice-type skills already learned in this domain can speed up the time of condensation and release," Teacher Mi Jiala said:

"In the later stages, it can even achieve the effect of instant condensation and release."

"Of course, the Ice Emperor Ram is still a long way from this level."

"However, in this domain, some attack-type Ice-type skills can appear and be unleashed at any position, rather than like usual, only being able to condense near some part of the Ice Emperor Ram's body and release outward."

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds:

"Are you talking about the ice spikes that attacked the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth in the match?"

"That's right," Teacher Mi Jiala nodded slightly:

"Those dozens of giant ice spikes could have been condensed and attacked by the Ice Emperor Ram directly from a direction several meters away from the Iron Battle Dragon. This not only increased the speed of the attack, but such an attack frequency also completely eliminated the need to re-freeze the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth."

"Moreover, relying on the proficiency of the Ice Heaven Domain and the giant ice spikes, you could actually have the Ice Emperor Ram condense ice spikes from different angles to attack different parts of the Iron Battle Dragon simultaneously."

"I understand!" Qiao Sang felt like she had been enlightened and wanted to try it on the spot.

She turned her head and said: "Lubao!"

"Ice Emperor." Lubao understood its Beast Tamer's meaning, called out, and stomped its left front foot down.

Its whole body instantly radiated visible cold air.

Everything on the open-air field except for people and pet beasts instantly condensed a layer of ice shell.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao stretched out its claws in mid-air, placed them in front of its mouth, and blew air.

The next second, six ice spikes, each several meters long, appeared simultaneously above, below, left, right, in front, and behind it, aimed at it.

"Xun xun!"

Little Xunbao was startled and shuddered all over.

Before long, the ice spikes and the surrounding ice and snow vanished.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao appeared on the side, revealing a worried expression, called out, indicating are you okay?

"Xun xun~"

Seeing the fifth one appear, Little Xunbao quickly put down its claws and revealed an expression of "I'm fine, how could I possibly have anything wrong."

On the other side.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao revealed a surprised expression.

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up and said:

"Then let's train in this direction next."

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao wagged its tail, revealed a serious expression, and was immediately ready to start training.

It radiated visible cold air from its whole body.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a layer of ice shell condensed on the field again.

"Xun xun!"

Little Xunbao, who was bragging to Qingbao and even showing off its muscles to show how strong and fearless it was, was startled, quickly teleported and vanished, and came to its Beast Tamer's side.

Qingbao: "..."

The next day.

12:00 PM.

Beast Taming Center.

Room 2603.

Qiao Sang finished reading the contract and handed it to Master Teacher Mi Jiala.

Teacher Mi Jiala read it line by line, confirmed that the requirements she proposed were added, put it on the table, and smiled:

"Not bad, the requirements I stated were indeed added."

Tao Yunkai said: "On this matter, our coaching team has discussed it seriously, and the head coach has also looked at Qiao Sang's data, feeling that her talent is indeed unprecedented, so we are willing to follow the requirements you proposed."

"However," she changed the subject, pointed to a clause in the contract, and said: "I believe you have also seen this."

Party B needs to become an A-level Beast Tamer within twenty years. If it is not completed within the specified time, Party A can require Party B to return to the Dragon Country Beast Taming Battle Team to participate in training... Qiao Sang looked at the content above, but didn't feel too restricted.

Twenty years was too far away for her.

"The country's resources are limited," Tao Yunkai continued: "We cannot make indefinite investments in a professional Beast Tamer who doesn't know when she can participate in competitions. This is also unfair to other team members."

Understandable, understandable... Qiao Sang looked at the clause in the contract that Party B could receive 2 million Alliance coins in salary every month, and nodded repeatedly.

24 million a year, and she could receive it for free for 20 years without the requirement of training and competition.

To be honest, it wasn't that she couldn't be a substitute.

"I see," Teacher Mi Jiala nodded slightly: "This is no problem."

In her view, with Qiao Sang's talent, it wasn't impossible to become an A-level Beast Tamer within twenty years.

"That's good," Tao Yunkai said, smiling at Qiao Sang.

Teacher Mi Jiala also looked over.

Under the gaze of the two, Qiao Sang signed and pressed her fingerprint.

Tao Yunkai collected one of the contracts, took out a red badge printed with a certain Dragon-type pet beast from her bag, handed it over, and said:

"This is the work permit of the National Beast Taming Bureau. In the future, you can enter the National Beast Taming Bureau with this. In addition, your personal data will also have an extra piece of information that you are an active professional Beast Tamer of the National Beast Taming Bureau."

Qiao Sang reached out both hands and took it solemnly.

The next day, morning.

Kong Beast Taming Venue.

"Just last night, 5 resurrected contestants were decided. Added to the 27 contestants who successfully advanced, today, who will be in a group with whom among the 32 contestants, what kind of performance they will bring us, and who will successfully advance to the Top 16, let us wait and see," the reporter said to the camera with a microphone.

In the audience, everyone held the cheering sticks and banners of the contestants they supported, shouting at the top of their lungs.

By now, the remaining contestants were all B-level professional Beast Tamers. They each had a not-small fan group, and they were all firmly believing that the contestants they supported could win.

Contestant area.

Qiao Sang looked at Zeng Feitian, who had re-advanced in the resurrection match not far ahead, and had a feeling of no surprise at all.

With the other party's strength, advancing to the Top 32 was normal.

After all, in the resurrection match, C-level Beast Tamers still accounted for the vast majority.

"Ya ya."

Like Ya Bao in her arms wore dark green sunglasses, looking very cool.

Ever since she summoned Like Ya Bao to compete last time, Qiao Sang had resumed holding Like Ya Bao and moving outside.

Many contestants around had their eyes on it.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xunbao appeared silently, wearing a black cloak.

A breeze suddenly blew, shaking the black cloak back and forth, which was very dashing.

Since when did Qingbao become so cooperative with Little Xunbao... Qiao Sang looked at the direction of Little Xunbao's black cloak, and a surprise flashed in her eyes.

The host stood on the body of a Flying-type pet beast and appeared in mid-air in the center of the field, holding a microphone, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of this regional competition! After the previous rounds of competition and the resurrection match, the Top 32 of this regional competition have been born! Please look at the big screen!"

As her words fell, a giant virtual screen appeared on the field.

There were 32 photos on it.

Qiao Sang saw herself in the second photo of the last row.

The whole field cheered.

The host continued: "And today, we will select 16 contestants from these 32 contestants to advance to the next round!" ===== CHAPTER 974 =====
