Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 15: Just Seeking One Defeat

But this competition takes place after the middle school exams, and the registration period hasn't even started yet; it's impossible to participate now.

There are restrictions at other battle training facilities of all sizes as well.

Places like the underground beast black contests, which are meant for gambling and entertainment, don't require beast tamers to be of any particular rank.

These types of competitions have a low threshold for entry; an E-rank beast tamer can participate, but those who join these underground contests are usually a motley crew.

Before the contest, participants must sign an agreement, not holding the organizers accountable for the life or death of their pet beasts during the battle.

In official competitions, if a pet beast loses the capability to fight, a referee will step in to stop the match in time, and there are medical teams standing by to treat the pet beasts.

But it's not like that in the underground beast black contests; these matches only end when a beast tamer concedes defeat voluntarily.

Those who come to these competitions are tough types and gamblers.

Some participate because they no longer care about the life of their pet beasts, which have little potential; some are in it for quick money, while others are purely seeking the thrill of violent excitement.

In short, this is not a place for middle school students like Qiao Sang.

The Fire-Toothed Dog is still too young, and Qiao Sang isn't ready to expose it to such cruel competitions all at once.

According to Qiao Sang's initial plan, she would train the Fire-Toothed Dog's speed and stamina after the middle school exams, then proceed to practice controlling its special moves once the basics were down.

Golden Finger could give the Fire-Toothed Dog a temporary boost in points through battle, but if its physical condition couldn't keep up and it couldn't control its own energy, it wouldn't be able to exhibit the combat power expected of a pet beast of its level.

If she wanted to make progress quickly, she couldn't afford to take it slow.

Only fighting could rapidly enhance the Fire-Toothed Dog's combat power.

Qiao Sang wanted controlled fights with limits, not fights to the death.

Besides official beast taming competitions and underground beast black contests, there are gyms, clubs, and exchange meetings in various areas where pet beasts can battle.

Gyms accept new members only twice a year and specialize in training beast tamers' pet beasts to master specific special moves; it's not the time for enrollment now.

Clubs simply require money, and Qiao Sang does not have the funds.

Exchange meetings are only for those who have appeared in official competitions and have been invited through invitation letters.

Most people usually have pet beast battles with friends around them for practice, but the people Qiao Sang knows haven't even awakened their brain domains, let alone engage in pet beast battles.

After summing it all up, there really is no place in Hangkang City where the Fire-Toothed Dog can fight properly.

Can she just randomly approach someone on the street and propose a pet beast battle?

If she happened to pick an E-rank beast tamer or higher, she wouldn't even know how she died.

Qiao Sang paced back and forth on the street, thinking hard.

Five minutes later, she carried the Fire-Toothed Dog and headed towards home.

Once home, Qiao Sang took off her school uniform and changed into her everyday clothes. Then she went to her room, wrote a few words on a piece of paper, tore it off, and put some tape in her pocket along with the note.

After that, she picked up her backpack and left the house.

...

Next to the thirty-seventh Beast Taming High School in Hangkang, South River Park.

"Hey, student, would you like some barbecue?" called out the auntie from her stall at the entrance to the park.

Qiao Sang checked the time, 4:27 PM, about an hour before the thirty-seventh Beast Taming High School would dismiss classes.

"I'll take 10 skewers of lamb," Qiao Sang said as she approached the barbecue stand.

"Do you want it spicy?" asked the auntie with a broad smile as new business arrived.

"No, thank you," Qiao Sang shook her head.

"Are you from this school? I don't think I've seen you before," said the auntie as she busied herself with the food but still found time for small talk.

"No, I'm here waiting for someone," Qiao Sang replied.

"I thought so, I would've remembered such a pretty girl if I'd seen her before," the auntie said with a laugh.

Qiao Sang smiled politely.

Having been praised for her looks since she was little, she used to be shy about it, but as she grew older, she became desensitized.

Five minutes later, Qiao Sang took the skewers of lamb, giving one to the Fire-Toothed Dog, which was almost drooling.

"Woof!"

Those with power, those without, the wealthy, the impoverished, those who run their own small businesses, those who work for others... _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
