Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 224 - 212 Im coming
Chapter 224: Chapter 212 I’m coming!
Chapter 224: Chapter 212 I’m coming!
“Out of the 62,300 middle school graduates in Hangkang this year, only about 2% can enter our Shengshui Middle School, and those present here are the approximately 2%!”
“High school is the turning point in our lives, college entrance exams are a ritual in the process of growing up, and the scores will determine where you will live for the next few years.”
“I believe that everyone here, as outstanding individuals at the middle school level, entered Shengshui Middle School with the aim of targeting top universities, but the annual college entrance exams are hell mode, where a single point can mean a difference of a hundred ranks.”
“According to statistics, there are more than 10 million students taking the college entrance exams each year, but there are only a handful of top universities, so you can imagine the intensity of the competition.”
“However, today, another opportunity to enter top universities presents itself in front of you at the opening ceremony — that is to defeat the new members of the school team!” Principal Wang Weidou spoke passionately and loudly.
Upon these words, the entire venue erupted.
“Top universities? Last year, it seems like only 26 people from our city were admitted.”
“Although there were only 26, our school accounted for 21 of them, so the principal isn’t really boasting.”
“We are all new students; why have some already entered the school team? How were these people selected?”
“Who cares how they were selected, they’re in for it now.”
“Wait, I’m going up first, nobody stop me!”
Wang Weidou gestured for silence before continuing:
“We will replace members of the school team based on your performance. Perhaps some of you don’t yet understand what it means to be on the school team.”
“Once you’re on the school team and obtain first place in the provincial campus competitions held by the government during your three years in high school, as well as pass the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment, you’ll be qualified to take part in the special entrance assessment for top universities, without having to take the hell-mode college entrance exams.”
“If your goal is tier one, a top three provincial ranking can also give you this opportunity.”
“Of course, this means you must have sufficient talent in Beast Taming, and you must also spend a lot of time on cultivating your Pet Beasts and training. Inevitably, you’ll have much less time for studying compared to other students. I hope that those who come up to challenge later can weigh the pros and cons.”
“However…” Wang Weidou paused and smiled. “If you just want to test the strength of the school team members, we welcome that too.”
“Those selected for the school team are either directly admitted or special recruits who have autonomously awakened their abilities. By defeating them, even if you ultimately choose not to join the school team, you will have demonstrated your abilities before all the teachers and students and shown that you are no worse than them!”
“Enough with the talk, let’s have this year’s school team members come up.” Wang Weidou turned to the side, raised his hand, and said, “They are Lu You, Qiao Sang, Wang Jihang, Lu Liangye, Jin Feifan, Jiang Nai.”
The dark red curtain automatically parted, and the six members of the combat team appeared in front of everyone.
Principal Wang Weidou had quite the talent for stirring excitement, akin to a pyramid scheme marketer; his speech set Shengshui Hall off. Not just the freshmen, but even the older students felt as if they were reliving their own early days, their blood boiling with enthusiasm.
First place in the province might be too far-fetched, but a top three provincial ranking was not out of reach, especially since everyone knew that Shengshui Middle School had always been a close second.
The chances of getting into a top university might be slim, but taking the tier one universities was basically the goal that most students strived for.
Besides, Pet Beast battles were a competition that all Beast Tamers were interested in. Rather than cramming books, the opportunity to gain university admission through battle competition was literally what 90% of children who had just become Beast Tamers dreamt of.
As for the remaining 10% who might not be interested in battle competition, even they were eager to try after hearing the principal’s last speech.
Students who were accepted into Shengshui Middle School were among the top in their respective middle schools, and while not arrogant, they certainly had confidence.
Defeating the school team members who were either admitted directly or were special recruits due to autonomous awakening, in front of a crowd, was the perfect way to prove one’s worth, instantly becoming a prominent figure and securing the right of priority in choosing a partner during the three years of high school.
All eyes in the venue sparkled as they focused on the six school team members on stage.
With thousands of eyes on him, Jin Feifan, who had social anxiety, had never been in such a situation before and his legs turned to jelly, trembling on the spot, making a stark contrast to Qiao Sang, whose eyes shone brightly as he looked around.
That Wang Weidou, quite a principal he is, with just a few words he managed to pump everyone up. If everyone queues up to challenge later, that’s going to amount to many points… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grin foolishly.
“Who’s going up first?” Principal Wang Weidou asked from the side.
Lu You, Lu Liangye, and Wang Jihang stayed quiet. Based on movie scenes, the real masters always appear last; those before were just cannon fodder. They were masters, so they definitely could not go first!
Jin Feifan, meanwhile, was frozen in place, her limbs cold. The thought of going first was the last thing on her mind; she wished she could just run away right there and then.
Just then, Qiao Sang stepped forward and said, “I’ll go!”
Lu You and the others: “!!”
They looked at Qiao Sang with faces full of shock.
What the hell! The most awesome person on their team was actually going to be the first one up?!
Wasn’t it agreed that the best players would always go last?!
“Very well, do you have anything you’d like to say to everyone?” Wang Weidou passed the microphone over.
All eyes were on Qiao Sang.
Not the least bit flustered, Qiao Sang took the microphone, turned her head to the principal, and asked, “I’d like to know if I don’t lose, will this segment continue indefinitely?”
Wang Weidou was taken aback for a moment and then nodded, “Of course, until there are no challengers left.”
Then she was relieved…
“I only have one thing to say,” Qiao Sang said, looking forward with a serious expression, “I will not lose.”

The whole of Shengshui Hall fell quiet for a moment.
The next second, the entire place erupted, the effect almost equal to the principal’s pep talk.
“Holy shit, who is this, so arrogant!”
“I know! Did you see the Bai Xinsai a while ago? She used a Fire-Toothed Dog to beat several intermediate-level Pet Beasts and ultimately won the championship.”
“What backwater competition is that? I’ve never even heard of it, probably only weaklings went there.”
“If her Pet Beast is a Fire-Toothed Dog, then my Power Claw Crab is perfect to beat her, let me go first.”
“That’s not good, right? She’s a girl, do we need to be so fierce? I think it’s better to let my Power Duck go first.”
“…”
Over at the second-year classes.
“This junior probably doesn’t know the terror of being worn down by successive battles,” said a school team member who had suffered a humiliating loss at the opening ceremony, shaking his head.
“Let me tell you, she’s got the capital to be so tough. That freakishly strong junior I mentioned in the group before is her,” Shi Gaofeng spoke up.
“The one more freakish than Wang Yao?” The boy beside him gasped and asked.
“Not sure, haven’t competed with her, but it feels that way.” Shi Gaofeng nodded.
From her spot in the second-year (1) class, Wang Yao watched the center of the field, her fists clenched tightly.
Undeniably, her training over this period of time, Qiao Sang, who was a year her junior, had put immense mental pressure on her.
“Please don’t let this be embarrassing…” Wang Yao silently prayed.
As someone who could exert pressure on her, she naturally didn’t want Qiao Sang to end up losing due to a war of attrition.
Soon, the first challenger walked down from his seat.
“Hello, I’m Zhang Jinchuan from the first-year (5) class, please guide me.”
After speaking, he summoned a little fat pigeon.
“First-year (1) class, Qiao Sang.”
Qiao Sang formed her hands into seals, and from within the gray Star Array, a figure with streaks of gray and yellow appeared before everyone.
“Xun Xun~”
