Beast taming, starting from zero point

Ye Xiangting’s eyes lit up instantly. She jumped up, completely awake, and excitedly said:

"Qiao Sang! I saw Qiao Sang!"

"Tong Hua!"

"Xinxin!"

Tonghua Owl and Faith Wong also woke up at the same time and looked at the television.

"Guan Guan?"

Guan Zhishi looked at the television with a puzzled expression.

Ye Xiangting sat back down and coughed: "The camera has moved on."

"Tong Hua..."

"Confidence..."

Tonghua Owl and Faith Wong lay back down again.

On the TV, the camera was already focused on the gigantic virtual screen.

Hundreds of photos overlapped simultaneously. Before long, they paired up two by two and settled down.

Ye Xiangting quickly scanned with her eyes, and after three seconds, she finally saw the name she wanted to see:

[Jerome VS Qiao Sang]

...

Flame Sky Star, Tang Country.

Saye International Competition Hall.

The entire venue was abuzz with excitement as people discussed their favored competitors and their matched opponents.

Zone A, third row.

[Jerome VS Qiao Sang]

Jerome... Qiao Sang looked at the three characters on the gigantic virtual screen, pondered for a second, and quickly searched for related information in her mind.

Jerome, a student from Flame Heaven University’s Flame Class, 61 years old this year, possessing four Emperor Level Pet Beasts, had participated in nationwide competitions at D-level, C-level, B-level, and A-level, all of which he won first place.

He even achieved an impressive seventh place in an interstellar competition a year ago.

Meeting someone from Flame Class in the first match... Qiao Sang recalled the opponent’s information, and her heart skipped a beat.

This opponent is going to be tough to beat... I need to go back and study the opponent’s previous match videos in detail... If I lose in the first round, how am I supposed to build good relationships with the contenders who might win the championship...

...

In the VIP box.

Mikaela frowned and muttered:

"Jerome..."

"Isn’t he the kid from Flame Class?" Margot sighed, "Qiao Sang is so unlucky to encounter someone from Flame Class right away; it’s a bit like you."

Mikaela glanced at her: "In terms of luck, she’s not like me."

"True." Margot took a sip of champagne and agreed: "If her luck was really bad, she wouldn’t have become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer so quickly."

After finishing, she looked at another group list and laughed: "It seems my student will have no problem passing the preliminaries."

Mikaela said lightly: "My student won’t have a problem either."

Margot laughed: "Maybe in a few years there won’t be a problem, but she just became an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer."

Mikaela didn’t say anything, picked up her bag, and stood up ready to leave.

"Leaving already?" Margot was surprised for a moment.

Mikaela replied with a "hmm": "I’m going back to gather more information on Jerome."

Margot chuckled:

"Do you really think Qiao Sang stands a chance against Jerome?"

"Why doesn’t she have a chance? I know her better than you." Mikaela said calmly, "And not only do I want her to beat Jerome, I hope she finishes in the top three."

Margot showed a look of astonishment: "You hope she finishes in the top three? You’re not joking, right?"

"Do I seem like someone who would joke?" Mikaela replied lightly: "Besides, the dean also said that if Qiao Sang finishes in the top three in this competition, she would get a reward."

Margot frowned:

"That sounds like an offhand remark. It’s no different from some countries saying if their competitor wins the Interstellar Cup, the whole country will have a month-long holiday."

"I’m leaving now." Mikaela waved her hand and pushed the door open to leave.

This guy doesn’t really think her student can finish in the top three, does she... Just became an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer and is set to face in a match against Flame Class’s Jerome, when getting past the preliminaries is already a question... Margot shook the champagne in her hand and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the gigantic virtual screen.

On the stage, Nephthys held a microphone and shouted loudly:

"The list of competitors for the first round has appeared!"

Auroal added cooperatively:

"Tonight! We’re not standing here to wait for the opening ceremony to end! But to welcome a battle that’s about to commence!"

Nephthys immediately continued:

"Exactly! Tonight we will conduct the first match! The battle is tonight! We are ready! Are you ready!"

"Ready!!!" the audience almost said in unison.

"Let’s see who will begin the first match of the Master Challenge Cup!" Auroal shouted passionately.

"Guigui!"

The humanoid flower pet beast lifted its paw, and a vibrant rose immediately formed.

With a forceful throw upwards, the rose transformed into countless scarlet petals pouring down in front of the virtual screen.

The competitors’ photos on the virtual screen disappeared one by one, leaving only one enlarged in the end.

"It seems the competitors for the opening match of the 3022 Master Challenge Cup are here! It’s Jerome and candidate Qiao Sang!" Auroal announced loudly.

On the virtual screen, a photo of a blond-haired, blue-eyed man with a short beard and a black-haired, dark-eyed girl with a ponytail and delicate features was enlarged within it.

The entire venue erupted with deafening cheers.

How could the first round already be Qiao Sang... In the VIP box, Margot glanced at the appearing photo on the virtual screen and was taken aback.

At this moment, the door burst open with a "bang."

Mikaela walked in.
