Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 132 - 127: The Red Target

Chapter 132: Chapter 127: The Red Target

The crew-cut boy froze in place.

Xu Yajie turned his head and looked at him sympathetically, having been caught red-handed using Zheng Baolong’s nickname—this poor guy was in for a rough day.

“Shi Gaofeng, repeat what you just said!” Zheng Guoping bellowed as he walked in.

He was so angry that he didn’t notice Qiao Sang’s presence at first.

“Teacher, let me explain,” Shi Gaofeng said, his face stiff with resolve. “Zheng Baolong is a term of respect for you—it’s derived from the majestic and authoritative appearance of the volcanic T-Rex, don’t you think it suits you?”

“Just look at yourself now, your commanding presence is exactly like it.”

...

Qiao Sang: “…”

What a talent, this sycophancy!

However, given that the volcanic T-Rex is known for its explosive temper, lighting up at the slightest spark, the nickname Zheng Baolong is obviously based on personality traits—and the infamous teacher must be well aware of it himself.

Just as she thought the teacher Zheng would lose his temper.

Zheng Guoping snorted coldly and said, “What happened just now? What’s this about losing control?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Shi Gaofeng chuckled, then quickly replied, “It’s about Xu Yajie; his lead-duck still can’t control the water jet compressed to twice its size.”

Xu Yajie: “…!”

“You mean he said…”

Zheng Guoping turned to look at Xu Yajie, about to scold him, but then he noticed Qiao Sang standing in the middle.

He paused for a moment, recalling the student mentioned by the Vice Principal and Qin Wen.

Self-awakened, two pet beasts, Fire Element, Spectral Series, exceptional energy value, evolution of the Fire-Toothed Dog into a never-before-seen new form…

Zheng Guoping unconsciously straightened up, wanting to leave a good impression on this genius girl.

He softened his tone and asked in a volume slightly lower than usual, “You’re Qiao Sang, right?”

Everyone present, including another girl who had been silent, were stunned.

Having suffered under Zheng Baolong for an entire year, when had they ever seen him this gentle?

Could she actually be some unknown daughter of his?

The three of them glanced back and forth between Zheng Baolong and Qiao Sang, quickly dismissing the idea; there’s no way Zheng Baolong’s genes could produce such a pretty daughter.

Qiao Sang conversed calmly with Zheng Guoping for a few words before finally starting the day’s training.

“From now on, you will train together with Qiao Sang. She’s a new student. If she doesn’t understand something when I’m not around, you, as her seniors, can teach her,” Zheng Guoping said.

Xu Yajie and the others were taken aback. A new student?

Before they could give it much thought, Zheng Guoping continued, “Peng Huan and the other two are still out on a mission, we’ll leave them be for now. Let me talk about your mission performance this time.”

Xu Yajie and the rest stiffened, unable to focus on the matter of the new student anymore.

Zheng Guoping picked up the tablet in his hand, frowned as he looked at it, and said dissatisfiedly:

“Shi Gaofeng, what’s this about your mission? You were just asked to do liposuction—such a simple task and you got a complaint and a bad review?”

Shi Gaofeng said aggrievedly, “Xiaomei really seriously controlled the amount of fat she absorbed. The woman’s weight was indeed 10 pounds less as per her request, but when she looked in the mirror, she complained that her bust size had shrunk and then left a bad review.”

“Meimei.”

The berry spikewort next to him, with most of its body purplish-red and its limbs grey-white, round in shape, nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

So this is the task I have to do…

Zheng Guoping said sternly, “That’s because you let the Berry Spiker suck fat from the same spot continuously. According to the task issuer’s request, you should have let the Berry Spiker’s spikes pierce into different parts for varying degrees of absorption.”

“Only then can you fulfill the task while also training the Berry Spiker’s control ability.”

Qiao Sang suddenly realized the true purpose of this task!

“And Xu Yajie, you were supposed to create a wave underwater to give the task issuer a chance to embrace the girl he likes. What happened? You couldn’t even control that and ended up shooting the task issuer onto the shore,” said Zheng Guoping with a disgusted expression.

Xu Yajie and his Force Duck hung their heads, not daring to speak.

“Wang Yao,” Zheng Guoping looked at the tablet, nearly bursting a vein, “The task issuer said your task was completed, but in the end, when confirming, you beat up his Longtail Snake. Why?”

Wang Yao looked guilty, glanced at her Great Flame Sparrow, bit her lip, and said, “The Longtail Snake kept sticking out its tongue, and Xiao Yan thought it was provoking, so it attacked.”

Qiao Sang looked at the Great Flame Sparrow yawning beside her, surprised. Was it really so ferocious?

Zheng Guoping took a deep breath, reminding himself not to get angry on his first day in front of Qiao Sang.

When he felt the fury in his heart subside a bit, Zheng Guoping said coldly, “After all this time, you still can’t control the behavior of your Pet Beasts.”

“Although it is a Fire Attribute Beast, the Great Flame Sparrow is the first Pet Beast you ever contracted, and you’ve been together for an entire year. This new student, Qiao Sang, also has a Fire Attribute Beast as her first contracted beast, yet she has only had the contract for two months, and never has a situation like that with the Great Flame Sparrow happened.”

This sentence was loaded with information.

First was that the contract with the Fire Element Pet Beast had been for two months, but new students universally underwent awakening a month ago, which indicated that this new girl had awakened on her own.

And two months’ time…

Wang Yao and the others turned their heads in bewilderment to look at the Pet Beast whose name they could not even recall.

It did not look like a beginner-level Pet Beast at all…

Yaobao proudly lifted its head.

Qiao Sang felt a bit uneasy with the gazes of others upon her.

Wasn’t this attracting animosity towards her…

…

After several minutes of rebuke, Zheng Guoping finally felt a bit of relief.

He fiddled with the tablet for a few moments, and the training ground’s floor began to move apart from the middle, then a rocky terrain rose from beneath.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but marvel. It truly was worthy of being Beast Taming High School, the number one in Hangkang City.

To know such terrain creation was expensive, not any regular Beast Taming High School would just casually waste the education committee’s allocated funds for its construction.

Qiao Sang looked towards the new terrain, which was dotted with rocks in the middle and had six fixed red targets at the front, each with a diameter of only about 10 centimeters.

From the left side of the training ground, or from Qiao Sang’s perspective, the red targets looked even smaller than coins.

“Xu Yajie, you go first,” Zheng Guoping called out from the other side of the red targets.

Shi Gaofeng gave Xu Yajie a pat on the shoulder with a gleeful look of sympathy.

Xu Yajie stepped forward with a troubled face.

Qiao Sang didn’t understand why he looked so dismayed. In her eyes, it should simply involve using a Skill to attack the red targets across the way.

Although the distance was rather far, looking to be about 35 meters, with rocks as obstacles in the middle, as long as the Skill’s power and attack range were sufficient, it shouldn’t be a problem to hit the stationary targets.

But the next second, Qiao Sang was dumbstruck.

She saw Xu Yajie’s Force Duck stamp its feet and clench its claws into fists by its sides. As it opened its mouth, a stream of water shot out at a width far less than normal.

And then it hit Zheng… Baolong in the face…

The entire training ground fell completely silent.
