Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 775: Sooner or Later, You''ll Use It

Chapter 775: Sooner or Later, You”ll Use It

The ending BGM played.

After the award ceremony ended, unlike before, Qiao Sang didn’t immediately leave by flying pet together with Teacher Pirite. Instead, she followed the staff to the backstage, heading toward the interview area.

Actually, ever since the preliminaries, the organizers had specifically invited some outstanding or particularly popular contestants for post-match interviews.

However, the organizers usually contacted the teams behind star contestants, so Qiao Sang wasn’t aware of this at first.

Later on, as the competition progressed, a staff member reached out to her directly.

At that time, she came here purely because Teacher Pirite arranged it for her to gain combat experience, so she wasn’t interested in interviews at all. She thought it was just a waste of time and rejected the invitation without hesitation.

After all, she still needed to train with the body forge bug at night, plus she had to go out to treat patients with terminal illnesses.

But it was different now. All the competitions had concluded. This would be her first and also her last interview, and it was the perfect opportunity to promote the item Little Treasure used today.

Holding Yabao in her arms, Qiao Sang sat down at the center seat under the guidance of the staff.

Camera flashes kept going off.

Very soon, a reporter asked, “There are rumors online that you’re a freshman at Yulianton University. Is that true?”

Qiao Sang calmly replied, “To be precise, I’m a student of the Imperial Beast University, here at Yulianton University as an interstellar exchange student.”

All the reporters were shocked, this was news they didn’t know.

“May I ask why you decided to participate in the Beast Tamer Star Tournament?” Another reporter asked.

Because my teacher told me to… Qiao Sang kept a serious face and replied, “I wanted to see contestants from various fields and learn something new from them.”

“Did you manage to learn anything?” The same reporter followed up.

“Yes, a lot.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“For example, from today’s contestant Apollon, the combo of Blaze Step and Flame Detonation used by his Bimo Fox was something I didn’t expect.”

Upon hearing this, the reporters immediately recalled the battle between the Bimo Fox and Ghost Ring King.

“Was the Ghost Ring King intentionally getting hit after Bimo Fox triggered its Blaze state?” A reporter hurriedly asked.

Qiao Sang gave a soft “Mhm”: “Ghost Ring King has the Cursed Body trait. It was a gamble whether Bimo Fox would fall for it.”

Another reporter questioned, “But the Cursed Body’s activation isn’t guaranteed. Did you consider what to do if Bimo Fox wasn’t immobilized?”

Finally, someone asked the key question…

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and replied, “I trusted that the armor Ghost Ring King was wearing could withstand Bimo Fox’s fiery charge. I’ve tested this item before, and its defense is quite good.”

“Could you share the brand of this armor?” A sharp reporter asked.

In competitions like this, star contestants usually use gear from brands they endorse. Since Qiao Sang hadn’t used any gear in previous matches and only brought one out in the finals, it was hard not to suspect she was promoting it. 𝘙âN𝖔ᛒƐȘ

Good question… Qiao Sang looked at the reporter with an approving gaze and said, “It’s called Light Path.”

“How did you teach Ice Aipalu to learn Ice Field Domain?”

“How did Fire Qilu learn Lava Purgatory?” (T/n: Since y’all preferred this one, I’ve reverted it.)

“How do you usually train your brain domain?”

“Are you really 16 years old?”

One question after another came from the reporters.

Qiao Sang patiently answered them all.

After more than twenty minutes of continuous questioning, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t take it anymore and gave a look to the staff beside her.

The staff instantly understood and stepped forward, announcing: “That’s all for today’s interview.”

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang was enjoying a lavish meal together with the vice principal, Teacher Pirite, and Tang Yi.

The location was a private room at a restaurant near the open-air Beast Taming Arena.

After learning about Pirite’s identity, Tang Yi appeared quite nervous, and even the vice principal seemed more restrained than usual.

Tang Yi glanced at Qiao Sang, his expression clearly saying: Why did you bring me here…

Qiao Sang shot him a look: What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here.

Strangely enough, Tang Yi immediately felt a bit more at ease.

Pirite looked at Liu Yao and smiled.

“Honestly, Qiao Sang winning the championship tonight was entirely her own doing. I only helped by registering her for the competition. In her daily training, it’s all thanks to you.”

“Qiao Sang always trains and studies on her own. I just help make some energy pills and take care of her meals. I can’t help much with anything else.” Liu Yao said modestly.

“Energy pills and diet are the most important things for a pet,” Pirite replied.

The two casually chatted back and forth, and Liu Yao gradually relaxed.

It couldn’t be helped. The Imperial Beast University was almost deified on Blue Star. Anyone who taught there carried an air of mystery.

Although Liu Yao had achieved some success in research, he was nothing special compared to the Imperial Beast University.

Being able to chat with a teacher from the Imperial Beast University was something he had never even dreamed of before.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become more relaxed, Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Vice Principal, those materials you wanted to learn about, how Ghost Dew Grass compares with Chaosu Star materials, that information was actually from Teacher Pirite.”

Liu Yao’s eyes lit up: “Really? That’s amazing! You’ve saved me a lot of time.”

Pirite paused for a moment and replied, “It was nothing, just a small favor.”

Opportunities to learn from others were up to oneself to seize. Having finally struck up a conversation with a teacher from the Imperial Beast University, Liu Yao wasn’t going to let it slip away.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said: “May I add your contact? Qiao Sang’s progress is just too fast. Her pet’s energy pill formulas need frequent adjustments, and I’m not too familiar with the effects of many Chaosu Star materials.”

The meaning was obvious, he wanted to ask for help in the future if needed.

I’m a teacher at the Beast Taming Department, not from the Breeding Department! Pirite screamed inwardly but calmly took out his phone and nodded, “Of course.”

After the satisfying meal, the four of them left the restaurant.

Liu Yao and Pirite were clearly enjoying their conversation and walked ahead chatting.

Qiao Sang and Tang Yi walked side by side behind them.

Tang Yi seized the chance to whisper, “Finally, we’re out. You don’t know how nervous I was during the meal.”

It was obvious. But honestly, you wasted your chance. Sitting with a teacher from the Imperial Beast University, and you didn’t even ask questions about things you normally don’t understand… Qiao Sang asked, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming to watch my match today?”

Tang Yi paused, then smiled and said, “I didn’t want to disturb you.”

In truth, ever since Qiao Sang entered Yulianton University, they had fewer interactions.

A few days ago, after seeing her on the trending searches, he specifically tuned into the livestream to watch her matches.

Honestly, he felt more and more aware of the distance between them.

Back when they were classmates and saw each other every day, it wasn’t as obvious. But after some time apart, seeing news about how Qiao Sang defeated star contestants all over the platforms, she suddenly felt too distant, like they no longer belonged to the same world.

He genuinely wanted to come in person to support her.

But he never intended to deliberately reconnect with her after the match.

Of course, unless he lost, then that would be another story…

“There’s no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing, just send a message or call me.” Qiao Sang said indifferently.

“If you need something, just contact me.”

Look at Fang Sisi, she still sends messages now and then saying her Cotton Bug has evolved, even asking if they could become in-laws.

“I got it.” Tang Yi lowered his gaze and replied.

When there’s too big of a gap between people, they naturally drift apart. He had already learned this lesson deeply after his family ran into trouble.

At a fork in the road, Tang Yi bid farewell first.

Qiao Sang then left with the vice principal and Pirite, riding a flying pet into the sky.

Flying in the air was convenient and unobstructed.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the villa area.

Just as Pirite was about to say goodbye, Qiao Sang suddenly said: “Teacher, you still haven’t taught me the hand signs for summoning multiple pets at once.”

Pirite was briefly stunned, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

“You’re not planning to rest tonight?”

Although Qiao Sang won the championship with an undefeated record, tonight’s matches were obviously tough, and she had to deal with reporters afterward. She should be getting some good rest.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “It’s just learning hand signs, shouldn’t be too tiring.”

After all, she could practice those while lying on the sofa or bed. She didn’t see it as tiring at all.

Pirite was speechless and said: “It’s too late for me to come in. I’ll send you the videos of the hand signs in half an hour.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

—

Half an hour later.

Qiao Sang was half-reclining in bed, holding her phone, as the notifications kept vibrating.

Teacher Pirite sent eight videos in total.

Qiao Sang skimmed through them and found that each video featured a different hand sign.

Just as she was about to ask, Pirite sent two more messages: [The hand signs for summoning two, three, four, and five pets are all different. These videos can let you practice up to summoning nine pets at once.]

[Take your time practicing. I believe you’ll definitely need this skill sooner or later.]

Qiao Sang: …
