Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 269: You’re Not Training?

If I were in my past life, I wouldn’t have bothered sticking around if it wasn’t my turn to compete, I would definitely have gone straight home.

It wasn’t so much that I lacked a sense of collective honor, it’s just that the older you get, the more you find sports festivals boring. The events were nothing but running, high jump, and the like – watch them enough, and they lose their appeal.

In my past life, the opening ceremony of the sports festival was when the venue was most crowded. Once the ceremony ended, most would scatter, and the only classmates who remained were those whose turn to compete was coming up.

But Beast Tamer society was different, most of the competitions involved pet beasts. Even if the events were the same each year, they became more interesting to watch due to the varying forms and characteristics of the pet beasts.

Qiao Sang immediately decided to stay and cheer for her classmates.

"Xun..."

Knowing it wasn’t competing today, Xiao Xunbao felt dejected.

Qiao Sang rubbed its head and smiled, "It’s good that you’re competing tomorrow, you get one more day to practice. Wait for me, I’ll find out who your opponents are tomorrow so we can prepare better."

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, finding this idea satisfactory.

"I know!" Zhang Shuzhou, who had been chatting with someone else, suddenly interjected with enthusiasm. "I know who’s competing in the barehanded tile-breaking tomorrow!"

Although he had been in conversation, Qiao Sang, being a prominent figure in the school, was too noticeable to ignore, especially with the dyed Treasure-seeking Demon beside her.

Zhang Shuzhou kept glancing at the Treasure-seeking Demon.

Ah, the Treasure-seeking Demon...

He hadn’t expected what Wang Yiding from the class next door said to be true...

Zhang Shuzhou looked at Qiao Sang with a complex expression, thinking she should change her name to Qiao Freak!

Unaware of Zhang Shuzhou’s thoughts, Qiao Sang played along and asked, "Who else?"

"Thirteen people are participating, one from each class," said Zhang Shuzhou. "Apart from Second Class’s Li Jiang and Eighth Class’s Zhao Fangrui, the competitors sent by the other ten classes all have Combat Series pet beasts. Of these, besides you, there’s one other with a good chance of winning – Ninth Class’s Liu Qijia. His pet beast is a Brave Ape, and I’ve heard his father is a Beast Tamer who specializes in cultivating Combat Series pet beasts. He’s frighteningly good."

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, "How do you know I have a good chance of winning?"

Zhang Shuzhou chuckled, "Who doesn’t know that your Treasure-seeking Ghost, no, I should call it Treasure-seeking Demon, is not only good at breaking tiles but has also reached an extremely skilled level? Forget competing with first-years; you could crush even third-years within minutes."

A twitch formed at the corner of Qiao Sang’s mouth, "That’s a rumor."

"A rumor?!" exclaimed Zhang Shuzhou. "Does your Treasure-seeking Demon not know how to break tiles?"

The entire class went quiet and looked over.

After a long pause, Qiao Sang admitted, "...It does."

The class resumed their conversations.

"I knew it had to be true," Zhang Shuzhou said, smiling.

Qiao Sang: "..."

...

At 8:10 in the morning.

After the school leaders’ uniform speeches were over, nearly all students had summoned their pet beasts.

Normally you can’t just summon pet beasts at will, but on Sports Day, it’s no problem.

Suddenly, the field was filled with the figures of pet beasts.

Qiao Sang also summoned Yaobao.

As for Lubao, she remembered it was still sleeping when she put it in the Beast Taming Codex this morning. Not much time had passed, so she decided to let it sleep a little longer.

"Ya!"

Yaobao excitedly wagged its tail, looking around at the bustling atmosphere.

"Yaobao, do you remember Little Ball Puff?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Ya..." Yaobao tried hard to remember.

"The one who’s very timid, with dandelions on its head," Qiao Sang reminded.

"Ya!"

Yaobao let out a sound, indicating that it remembered.

"Let’s go see it compete in shuttlecock kicking," said Qiao Sang.

Yaobao could indeed enhance his control by increasing his proficiency in specific skills, but this only applied to the control over specific movements and not the control over his body and energy. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
