Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 238 - 226 The End of the Valley

Chapter 238: Chapter 226: The End of the Valley
Three months had passed, and everything had changed.
Qiao Sang remembered how just three months ago, she had been called into her middle school teacher’s office and been scolded until she was practically spattered with spit, not to mention that they had even called her parents.
But now, she was the one called to the principal’s office, yet here she was, drinking tea with the principal of Hangkang City’s number one Beast Taming High School… Qiao Sang sat in the chair, staring slightly transfixed at the hot tea before her.
“Qiao Sang, what do you think of my proposal?” Wang Weidou, holding a cup of tea and leaning back in his chair, asked with a smile.
If anyone else had asked her that question, Qiao Sang would have answered without hesitation, “Not much.”
But since it was the big boss of the school she was currently attending who had asked, Qiao Sang felt she had to think it over before responding.
To be honest, she really didn’t understand what the principal was thinking, actually suggesting that she participate in the national high school campus Beast Taming competition for seniors.
It was like a game—if the rewards from the treasure chest at the end of a dungeon were the same regardless of the difficulty level, why would she choose the hard mode over the easy mode? She wasn’t foolish.
Qiao Sang took a moment to choose her words, then said:
“I don’t think I’m strong enough to compete with the seniors yet.”
Hearing this, Wang Weidou nearly choked on the tea he had just sipped.

That’s not how you acted at the opening ceremony today!
He too had given up on this idea, but after seeing that the Flame Listening Dog not only possessed the Fierce Fire trait but also knew the high-level skill Mars Rain, the idea of Qiao Sang beating Ding Yanjing came back to life.
Ding Yanjing was already a senior, and if he missed this national high school competition, there would be no more chances to dampen his edge.
In Wang Weidou’s eyes, Qiao Sang had the potential to win against Ding Yanjing.
Even if she lost, she could still participate in the next national high school campus Beast Taming competition.
With her ability, winning the provincial championship during her junior year wouldn’t be difficult—it would only be delayed by a year.
He had thought that with Qiao Sang’s aggressive and combative nature displayed at the opening ceremony, she would agree without a second word. Unexpectedly, she was willing to downplay her own abilities to refuse…
Wang Weidou put the teacup back on the table and asked, “Do you know why I suggested you participate in the senior competition?”
Qiao Sang shook her head.
“Because I believe you have the ability,” Wang Weidou said earnestly.
Even if you say so, I still won’t go… Qiao Sang replied modestly, “That’s not true, I’m just slightly better than others my age.”
“Students your age wouldn’t be able to evolve a Fire-Toothed Dog into an entirely new evolutionary form or teach a primary-level Pet Beast and a mid-level Pet Beast a high-level skill,” Wang Weidou said with a smile.
“It’s just good luck,” Qiao Sang replied with a smile.
So young yet so difficult to handle, just like that guy Liu Yao… Wang Weidou sighed and said frankly, “Actually, there’s a very important reason I want you to participate in this senior competition.”
Qiao Sang adopted a serious posture, ready to listen.
“You know about Litian Royal Beast High School, right?” Wang Weidou asked.
Qiao Sang nodded.
“There’s a student named Ding Yanjing in Litian’s senior class. He’s not satisfied just winning matches; he has to hear his opponents concede defeat verbally. Otherwise, he continues to torture their Pet Beasts in the arena,” Wang Weidou took a sip of tea and continued, “One of our students encountered him in a competition, and his Pet Beast was tortured. Unable to cope with the trauma, the student ultimately left the school team afterwards.”
“I also see you have a chance to beat him. If you could win against him in his last high school campus Beast Taming competition, that would be ideal. Even if you don’t win, with your skill, you can make him realize that our school’s students are not to be trifled with.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback. Torturing a Pet Beast? That perverse?
“But if the Pet Beast isn’t down, how can one concede? And if it falls, the referee will declare the winner, so how can he continue to torture the Pet Beast?” Qiao Sang raised her doubts.
Could it be that this Ding Yanjing was defeating his opponents while simultaneously applying healing, doing it over and over again… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ponder.
Wang Weidou didn’t answer. Instead, he took out his phone, brought up a video, put it on the table, pushed it towards Qiao Sang, and said in a grave voice, “Take a look at this.”
Qiao Sang looked down at the phone.
The video playing showed a match.
The clumsy bear in the video was completely wrapped in green plants, its body wavering and obviously in poor condition before being knocked unconscious on the ground by a green Energy Sphere.
Just as the referee stepped forward to start the count, a Pet Beast with a green body and a round, milky-white cotton tuft on its head, holding a foxtail grass in its right paw, quickly trotted over to the side of the clumsy bear.
The camera shifted.
“Do you concede?” asked the boy wearing the Litian Royal Beast High School team uniform.
The scene switched to the competitor from Shengshui Middle School.
Because his memory had improved, even after competing against more than 200 people today, Qiao Sang recognized at a glance that this one was among the more than 200 he had faced.
Of course, an important part of why was that the guy’s action of waking the clumsy bear with food was just too memorable…
Xue Chuhua’s expression remained dark, and he said nothing.
The boy in the Litian Royal Beast High School uniform, seeing this, shouted, “Gu Wei Bao, wake it up!”
At that moment, the referee’s countdown had not yet finished, and Gu Wei Bao, upon hearing its Beast Tamer’s command, skillfully scratched the clumsy bear’s ticklish spot with the foxtail grass a few times before swiftly moving on to scratch the soles of its feet.
Soon enough, the clumsy bear was roused by the scratching.
The referee announced that the battle would continue.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Wang Weidou spoke up at just the right moment, “The Pet Beast was already injured, yet it’s being made to scratch itches; if an opponent doesn’t concede, it’s constantly defeated, awakened, and forced to continue. Such behavior is tantamount to torture for the Pet Beast.”
Qiao Sang somewhat understood.
Although the scene looked amusing, imagine a Pet Beast, after battling for half a day and then fainting, being forcibly awakened with laughter. With the struggle and the laughter, its injuries would worsen, amounting to dual torment, both physical and psychological.
Wang Weidou showed a warm smile, “Now you know why I wanted you to participate in this year’s senior high competition. Don’t feel pressured, whether you go or not is up to you to decide. Even if you don’t, I would understand.”
Qiao Sang considered for a moment and then said, “Principal, this is a big decision, I need to discuss it with my mom.”
“Good! Good!” Wang Weidou was visibly pleased.
In his view, if a student’s parents knew that the school principal had made this request to their child, they would definitely agree 100 percent.
Come on, he’s the principal! Securing the principal by using her mom as an excuse, and then later saying the family disagrees would mean the principal couldn’t push her. Perfect… Qiao Sang’s smile deepened.
…
After leaving the principal’s office, Qiao Sang finally managed to sneak Shuilu Yana out of the fountain and into her backpack, only to be surrounded by people.
By the time she got rid of the group and walked out of the school gate, half an hour had passed.
She had only just stepped outside when the familiar sound of the school bell rang out, instantly brightening Qiao Sang’s mood.
One of the perks of being part of the school team was that there was no need for evening self-study!
Just as her mood had improved, another familiar voice reached her ears.
“Lulu.”
Qiao Sang was startled and quickly turned her backpack 180 degrees to the front.
“Why did you stick your head out?” Qiao Sang asked in a hushed voice.
“Lulu?”
Shuilu Yana’s ears twitched, her expression embarrassed.
Where was that annoying guy?
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned and then realized, “You’re asking why we’re not home yet, right? I have to go to school from today on, so I might get back a little later from now on.”
Shuilu Yana: “…”
