Beast taming, starting from zero point

After mentioning the other person’s name, Qiao Sang realized something and quickly glanced in Lafeid’s direction, saying:

"Don’t say such things."

Xia Huo laughed, "What are you afraid of? I’ve already set up a barrier; they can’t hear us."

Qiao Sang looked around and, as expected, felt the presence of the barrier.

Her first thought was a sigh of relief: Fortunately, Lafeid didn’t hear it. Otherwise, if there were a misunderstanding, how could she maintain a good relationship with him?

Next, she became slightly wary, looking at Xia Huo before her, and had a second thought:

Flame Class Xia Huo, Mikaela wasn’t wrong. The people from the Flame Class shouldn’t be underestimated. I didn’t even notice her approach beforehand, nor the appearance of the barrier...

"Steel Authority."

In a flash of thought, Gangbao’s voice echoed in her mind.

It’s just because you’ve been completely focused on overthinking just now.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"We didn’t get to chat much last time we met; do you want to find a place to sit after a thorough check this time?" Xia Huo smiled.

Qiao Sang, remembering what Teacher Mikaela said, replied:

"I’m afraid not; the competition is tomorrow, and I need to hurry back to train."

After pausing, she added, "After the competition, we can find some time to sit together."

Xia Huo smiled and changed the topic: "Besides you, a person named Jules from your school’s Emperor Class seems to be participating this time. Why aren’t you together?"

"I don’t know him," Qiao Sang said.

Jules wasn’t a stranger to her; Teacher Mikaela had given the list of all competitors, which naturally included him.

Jules, a student of the Emperor Class at Imperial Beastmaster Academy, 58 years old, possessing three Emperor Level Pet Beasts.

After responding, she looked around and asked, "Why isn’t Jerome with you?"

Jerome, a student of the Flame Class at Flame Heaven University, 61 years old, possessing four Emperor Level Pet Beasts.

Xia Huo waved her hand, "I’m not familiar with him."

She then smiled and said, "To be honest, I’m more familiar with you."

Qiao Sang laughed, "Familiar because you followed me a week ago?"

A week ago, she had gone to register Little Treasure Spirit and Lubao’s information at the Beast Taming Center. When coming out, Little Treasure Spirit asked for a particular brand of toothpaste, so she went to look around and discovered someone following her.

The person following seemed ordinary, riding a bicycle and looking like a passerby, except there was a faint purple outline around, making it unusual.

At that time, she specifically looked around and found that others had no reaction to the anomaly around this person, realizing that others couldn’t see it.

Later, after buying the toothpaste, she had Little Treasure Spirit teleport home and asked Teacher Mikaela, only then finding out it was a phenomenon of being possessed by a Spectral-type Pet Beast, which generally even Beast Tamers with Spiritual Vision can’t see.

She didn’t know of any spectral-type Pet Beast with possession abilities, but she did know one person with such an ability.

Xia Huo was slightly stunned, with a puzzled look, "What are you talking about?"

She’s putting on quite an act, managing half as much acting skill as mine... Qiao Sang stared at her without speaking.

After staring for five seconds, Xia Huo raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "How did you find out?"

Qiao Sang shamelessly replied, "Because you have a special aura, it’s exceptionally obvious, even when attached to someone else."

Xia Huo couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

"Even though it’s obviously a lie, it made me quite happy to hear it."

Afterward, her smile faded, and she pondered for a few seconds before asking:

"So, that day you registered information for the Night Ring King and Ice Emperor Ram?"

Qiao Sang didn’t hide it, she acknowledged with a smile, "Yes, I just registered, so you must have known."

The home base of Flame Heaven University is on Flame Sky Star. Even if Flame Heaven University doesn’t have a top-tier Mechanical Beast like Guilun Sai’er, it’s easy to inquire about a Beast Tamer’s records registered on Flame Sky Star.

Xia Huo’s expression suddenly became complicated, knowing Qiao Sang acknowledged this matter.

Perv, definitely a perv, becoming an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer at such a young age and acquiring two Emperor Level Pet Beasts in such a short time... Xia Huo resisted cursing aloud, managing her expression with a smile, saying:

"What are you talking about? I don’t have such skills, just heard someone mention it. You know, you and your Pet Beasts appeared in the promotional video. You’re somewhat of a celebrity now."
