Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 177 - 168: The Imperial Dragon Military Academy
Chapter 177: Chapter 168: The Imperial Dragon Military Academy
Qiao Sang was quite speechless.
She couldn’t believe the Wumeng Doll and the Three-eyed Specter Cicada actually fell for the nonsense about surviving Lost Town to meet the legendary Pet Beast that could grant wishes.
Were these the two blockhead beasts that had scared her into a cold sweat?
Qiao Sang composed herself; although these two wild Pet Beasts seemed a bit silly in some respects, their combat abilities were undeniably good.
Especially the Three-eyed Specter Cicada.
Without a Beast Tamer, it cast skills in succession, both countering Yaobao’s attacks and finding opportunities to ambush her, showing its rich combat experience.
In the Secret Realm, with wild Pet Beasts plentiful, it’s likely they fight every couple of days.
Qiao Sang summarized a principle.
Indeed, Pet Beasts must rely on actual combat to improve.
Simply practicing skill casting can only increase proficiency, while aspects like reflexes, spatial awareness, body balance, and adaptive responses to an opponent’s attacks must be honed through combat.
For instance, during Yaobao’s casting of Mars Rain just now: even though Mars Rain is a high-tier skill, Wumeng Doll was able to interrupt it with a mid-tier skill, Peculiar Beam.
No matter how advanced a skill is, if it can’t be cast, it’s useless.
Had it not been for today’s battle, and if it was just a simple challenge in a secret room, Yaobao would not have been able to rapidly enhance its spiritual power to the point where both body and Doppelganger can cast different skills simultaneously.
It seems that going forward, she’ll need to allocate some training time to practical combat…
…
The police officers recording Qiao Sang’s statement were a few familiar faces.
The question and answer session moved quickly, and they finished the statement in no time.
Just as Qiao Sang got ready to leave, a handsome male police officer next to her said with a smile, “You’re from Shengshui Middle School, right? Have you considered where you’d like to go to university?”
Qiao Sang was taken aback. She recognized the officer asking her this question; he had led the team that went to the secret room earlier and was the captain of Hangkang City’s Public Security Bureau, surnamed Liu.

“I haven’t thought about it; I haven’t even started my first year of senior high yet,” Qiao Sang honestly replied.
“I know, but there are some geniuses who get into university in their first year of senior high. I don’t think you’re any less capable than they are,” said Liu Zhezhen. “I was wondering if you’re interested in joining the Dragon Military Academy?”
“If you’re willing, I can submit a report. As long as you pass the assessment, you can sign a training contract and then you can skip the college entrance examination and go directly to the Dragon Military Academy.”
Qiao Sang was stunned; she naturally knew about the Dragon Military Academy.
The Dragon Military Academy is the number one military school in Dragon Country.
With a long history, it has not only trained many military talents but has also cultivated numerous politicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists for Dragon Country, renowned worldwide.
If it wasn’t for contracted cultivation but her own success in the college entrance exam, naturally, she would pack her bags and leave immediately.
But this was about contracted cultivation…
Contracted cultivation, as the name suggests, involves higher institutions cultivating talents on behalf of employers, with the employers providing funding and the institutions responsible for training. After graduation, students work directly for the contracting employer.
That means after graduating from Dragon Military Academy, she could only work at Hangkang City’s Public Security Bureau.
In her previous life, this would naturally have been a path to a great future.
But this is a Beast Taming world, and finally here for a visit, how could she stay in Hangkang City forever? Moreover, her future career path would be limited.
With no time for competitions, no time for the Secret Realm, how could she become a professional Beast Tamer and participate in The Interstellar Cup?
Perhaps sensing Qiao Sang’s hesitation, Liu Zhezhen continued,
“You can go back and think about it, or discuss it with your family. You don’t need to answer me right away. Let’s exchange contact information, and you can contact me whenever you’ve made up your mind.”
“Thank you, Captain Liu!” Qiao Sang said gratefully.
A captain from the local Public Security Bureau might be a person of note locally, but that wasn’t the case at the Dragon Military Academy. If he could secure a spot for contracted cultivation, it surely wasn’t something trivial.
After exchanging contact information, Liu Zhezhen, holding a cup of water, said with a smile,
“You’ve helped our city solve two major hazards this time. When you start school, the bureau will send a banner of honor to your school to raise your profile.”
“There’s no need for all that trouble,” Qiao Sang gently declined. “It was something I should have done, and if I hadn’t defeated them, I would have been in danger myself.”
“And don’t forget about the reward.”
“Thank you, Captain Liu!”
After finishing her sentence, Qiao Sang paused and then reminded, “My school starts on September 1st.”
Liu Zhezhen: “…”
After Qiao Sang left, a young police officer who had been listening to the conversation couldn’t help but ask, “Captain Liu, I admit she’s a genius, but that slot was bought with someone’s life, isn’t it too hasty to just give it away like this?”
Liu Zhezhen gave him a glance and said in a deep voice, “You’ll know why when you watch the surveillance footage just brought out from the secret room.”
…
After leaving the public security bureau, Qiao Sang planned to visit the Beast Taming Center.
Although some areas of the Beast Taming Center had closed for the day, the medical area operated 24 hours with staff on duty.
Naturally, she wanted to check on the injured Treasure-seeking Ghost.
Qiao Sang called for a car on her phone.
While waiting for the car, Fang Sisi held her Cotton Caterpillar and asked very earnestly, “What do you think of my Cotton Caterpillar?”
Qiao Sang turned to look, and the Cotton Caterpillar also blinked its big round eyes at her.
Now cleaned up, the Cotton Caterpillar’s natural form was visible, and although its colors could not be made out in the night’s darkness, its size had fattened up to twice what it had been a month ago, showing that it had been well-nurtured.
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: “I think it’s pretty good.”
She didn’t expect that Fang Sisi’s Cotton Caterpillar would still be so plump after all it had endured…
“You see, my Cotton Caterpillar is so beautiful, and it will definitely be the prettiest Bar Fire Butterfly when it evolves,” said Fang Sisi, blinking her eyes.
“Cotton~”
The Cotton Caterpillar nodded its head, seeming to agree.
Qiao Sang had long been used to her whimsical ideas.
Just a moment ago she talked about evolving the Cotton Caterpillar into a different kind of butterfly to be with Xiao Xunbao, and now she is back to the Bar Fire Butterfly again, wait a second…
Qiao Sang seemed to realize something, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Fang Sisi straightened her hair and said with a grin, “How about when my Cotton Caterpillar evolves into a Bar Fire Butterfly, we have it marry your Flame Listening Dog?”
“…Get lost.”
Her guess was spot on…
…
Number 1705, Tianjing Garden.
Qiao Sang didn’t get home until well past midnight, but thankfully after sleeping in the morning, she wasn’t very tired.
Yaobao always had excellent sleep quality; even after a tough battle at night, it stuck to its sleeping schedule.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost was as lively as usual after leaving the Beast Taming Center.
Except for one thing… It was no longer staying on her head.
Qiao Sang was puzzled until she went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.
“Xiao Xunbao!!”
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao clutched at its chest where it had been hit by a Shadow Ball from a three-eyed cicada, feigning pain.
Qiao Sang: “…”
It was fine. It was just dirty hair; a wash would do, nothing serious…
