Flame Heaven University? The number one academy in the interstellar rankings? Qiao Sang froze for a second. "What are we going there for?"
Mikaela put the magazine in her hand onto the coffee table and said:
"Half a month from now, Flame Heaven University will be hosting the Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition. By then, a group from our Imperial Beastmaster Academy should be heading over as well. You probably haven’t seen a head‑to‑head between the major interstellar elite schools yet. I’ll take you to broaden your horizons."
"The Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition!" Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up at once. She asked impatiently, "Do I have a chance to compete in it?"
As a Beast Taming Department student who had studied a semester at Yuliandun University and then spent some time at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, she naturally knew what the Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition was.
The Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition was a tournament that only elite schools with a place in the interstellar rankings could enter.
It was one of the most influential university‑level Beast Taming competitions in the whole interstellar sphere. Every student who could come to compete was a standout from the Beast Taming Departments of the major interstellar elite schools. Contestants who performed well not only had the chance to receive national‑level awards, but also to be picked by schools or famous Beast Fighting clubs and cultivated as seeds for the Interstellar Cup.
The competition was held once every two years, but each school only had a few slots. It was said that every year, students of the Beast Taming Academy fought tooth and nail for those spots.
"Ya Ya!" Yaobao, who was controlling its Doppelganger to train, heard this and immediately looked over, eyes full of expectation.
A competition! It wanted to take part in a competition!
Mikaela said with a laugh, "The slots for the students representing our academy were decided long ago. You’re not on the list."
"Ya Ya..."
Yaobao understood. Its tail drooped unconsciously as a disappointed expression appeared on its face.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang was also quite disappointed. "When did they decide the slots? I didn’t even know about it..."
Listening to the conversation from the side, Jaclyn laughed. "Even if you’d known earlier, you still wouldn’t be able to compete. You’re an Emperor Class student. If Emperor Class students entered this competition, it would be a dimensionality‑reduction strike. They’re not allowed."
Mikaela added:
"For these students, even if they manage to win the championship, their ultimate goal is to be noticed and cultivated, to get a chance at the Interstellar Cup. You have absolutely no need for that kind of reward."
So Emperor Class students joining would be a dimensionality‑reduction strike... Qiao Sang instantly lost interest and said:
"Then going over just to watch doesn’t sound all that fun either."
She herself couldn’t compete, and Emperor Class students were dimensionality‑reducing monsters to the participants. She might as well spend some money and go watch those top‑tier events that only S-rank Beastmasters or A-level Beast Tamers could enter.
Jaclyn: "..."
At that moment, Jaclyn finally saw in her the aura an Emperor Class student ought to have.
Mikaela’s mouth twitched slightly. "Emperor Class students aren’t allowed to participate because their age and strength simply aren’t on the same level as normal students. You’re different. You’re young—actually younger than every single student who’ll be competing in the Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition—and you’re only B-level. The students who can compete are B-level at minimum, plus A-level. Their tactics and Combination Skills are honed through long‑term training. If you go watch, you might be able to pick up a few things."
Hearing the last part, Jaclyn glanced at Mikaela.
She almost forgot that her own gap with a normal Emperor Class student was also pretty huge... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked:
"Will any of the other Emperor Class students be going?"
"That I don’t know." Mikaela said calmly, "But based on what I know of them, I doubt anyone will go."
In other words, the Emperor Class kids looked down on the competitors’ strength and wouldn’t waste their time.
Same class, yet the gap was this big... Qiao Sang let out a sigh.
She was just about to say something when Qingbao suddenly floated over and called out:
"Qingqing."
The Wind had news about the Sun Crystal again.
