The virtual screen in the Beast Tamer Center's examination area displayed the names of those who had passed in real-time.
Many family members waiting nearby kept glancing at the screen, anxiously watching for their loved ones' names.
Next to the screen was a desk where successful examinees could receive their Beast Tamer badge and certification.
Upon passing, they could immediately obtain these documents, and their personal information would automatically be updated within seven business days.
At that moment, Shi Gaofeng was standing in line, but his eyes were glued to the virtual screen.
When he finally saw Qiao Sang’s name appear, he couldn’t help but ask again, “Are you sure Wen Lei was your examiner?”
It wasn’t that he doubted Qiao Sang’s ability, but Wen Lei was notorious. The idea that she had evaluated Qiao Sang, and that Qiao Sang had won, seemed unbelievable.
After all, Shi Gaofeng’s own experience with Wen Lei had been a one-sided beatdown, leaving him utterly powerless.
According to Qiao Sang, her Flame Hound hadn’t even broken a sweat. It was barely a warm-up. But how was that possible? Wen Lei had crushed him, yet Qiao Sang had overpowered her with ease.
Didn’t that mean that Qiao Sang could just as easily trounce him? Shi Gaofeng’s confidence wavered.
“You’ve already asked five times.” Qiao Sang said, exasperated.
“Yaaap…” Yabao echoed, equally unimpressed.
This human was really annoying. What was so hard about winning?
Finally sensing the irritation from both Qiao Sang and her Flame Hound, Shi Gaofeng quieted down. For about a minute, anyway.
“You’re sure you didn’t mix up the names? Wen Lei’s the only female examiner out of the three.” Shi Gaofeng couldn’t help himself and asked one more time.
Qiao Sang: …
Instead of answering, Qiao Sang took out her phone and started searching.
“Why aren’t you answering?” Shi Gaofeng asked.
“Hold on.” Qiao Sang replied, focused on her phone.
“I’m looking up whether there’s a beast skill that can make people stop talking.”
“Yal!”
Yabao’s eyes sparkled with interest.
That skill would be perfect, he wanted to learn it!
Shi Gaofeng: …
Fine, he’d stop talking.
The line moved quickly, and soon it was Qiao Sang’s turn. After handing over her information card, undergoing a face and iris scan, and presenting her F-level Beast Tamer badge, the staff smiled and handed her an updated E-level badge with a gray background.
“Here’s your new badge and certification. We’ll transfer all your previous data to this new badge.” The staff member said.
“Thank you.” Qiao Sang accepted the items.
The badge represented a Beast Tamer’s rank and was exchanged upon leveling up, with the original returned to the league.
Instead of heading straight home, Qiao Sang took a number at a self-service kiosk in the first-floor lobby.
Just as Shi Gaofeng was stepping out of the Beast Tamer Center, he noticed Qiao Sang hadn’t followed and had actually taken a number.
He quickly turned back and asked, “Why did you take a number? Do you still need something?”
“I’m updating my pet’s information.” Qiao Sang replied, finding a seat close to the counter.
Shi Gaofeng was a bit surprised.
“You haven’t updated Treasure-Seeking Demon's information yet? That’s really late, it’s been over a week already.”
“It’s not for Little Treasure.” Qiao Sang clarified, sitting down. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Not for Treasure-Seeking Demon?” Shi Gaofeng was confused.
If it wasn’t for Treasure-Seeking Demon or Flame Hound, then what pet was it?
Just as Shi Gaofeng was racking his brain, Qiao Sang explained, “I contracted a third pet recently, and she evolved a few days ago, so I need to update the info.”
Shi Gaofeng was completely stunned. A third pet? And it had evolved? What was Qiao Sang talking about?
“Number 05522, please proceed to window 6.”
Before Shi Gaofeng could voice his confusion, Qiao Sang stood up and walked toward the counter with Yabao in tow.
There was no way she had a third pet…
It couldn’t be possible! Qiao Sang was only a first-year high schooler. Having two pets that evolved to the intermediate level already made her exceptional. How could there be a third pet?
It had to be impossible, no way! Shi Gaofeng watched her walk away, his expression conflicted.
In the next moment, however, his face froze, and his eyes widened in shock.
“What the…?!”
A green star array lit up in front of Qiao Sang, and a pale-blue pet he had never seen before emerged from it.
A third pet! She really had a third pet!
Shi Gaofeng’s eyes remained wide, his mind struggling to process the shock.
After updating her information, Qiao Sang returned Lubao to the Codex and turned to see Shi Gaofeng staring at her, eyes about to pop out.
“What’s wrong?” She asked as she approached him.
“I was just…thinking about how to hold on to this big connection.” Shi Gaofeng replied earnestly.
Qiao Sang: ???
Hongying Beast Tamer Battle Club.
Due to school, Qiao Sang hadn’t been able to come here for training in a few days.
But with the sports event this morning, she had finished her exams and now had the rest of the day free, so she decided to stop by.
After all, Yabao could only train his Meteor Rain and practice his Shadow Clone moves here without any restrictions.
A few meters away from the field of fire raining down, Qiao Sang turned to Lubao and asked, “Are you still not interested in training?”
“Lu.” Lubao replied, watching Yabao practicing Meteor Rain with a look of mild frustration.
This guy was too strong. If she only trained at night, would she fall behind?
Qiao Sang didn’t fully understand Lubao’s insistence on training at night, but it was clear that Yabao’s abilities had a big impact on her.
She thought for a moment, then said to Lubao, “Maybe you didn’t know, but Yabao is about to evolve soon.”
Lubao: !!!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Lubao’s eyes went wide. She had just evolved and had finally caught up with Yabao’s progress, only to find out that Yabao was about to evolve again?!
“Xun?!”
Little Treasure, who had been practicing his telekinesis nearby, floated over with a shocked expression.
Boss Yabao was evolving again?!
Of course, that was a little white lie Qiao Sang had made up to motivate Lubao. She nodded, keeping a straight face. “Yes.”
“Xun!” Little Treasure covered his mouth with his short claws in astonishment.
Boss Yabao was amazing!
“Lu Lu!”
Lubao couldn’t hold back anymore and tugged on Qiao Sang’s pant leg.
She wanted to train!
