Chapter 1535 Michaela and the Entanglement of Desirelessness (Part 2)
Beastmasters who are qualified to register for the S-level professional beastmaster assessment are already at the very top of the beastmaster pyramid. Therefore, as long as they are qualified to register, there will be no situation where they fail the assessment. It's just a matter of how long it takes to pass.
Qiao Sang had some prior knowledge of the S-rank professional beast tamer assessment, but she was still a little worried and asked, "Are you sure there won't be any problems? Lu Bao has only just evolved into an Emperor-level beast. Will she give me a mission to expel a race with an Emperor-level pet beast?"
Upon hearing this, Penjami and Jiu Bugu simultaneously glanced at their respective Beastmasters.
Mikaela said without changing his expression, "Even if you know it, it doesn't matter. The assessment task for S-rank professional beast tamers has a year to complete. If you can't complete it, you can register again next year. You will be able to complete it sooner or later."
A year later, Qiao Sang's heart stirred.
Given his current rate of progress, his strength will definitely improve significantly within a year. By then, Steel Treasure should have fully evolved into an Emperor-level pet beast, greatly increasing his chances of completing the mission.
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang nodded and said:
"I see."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a double knock on the door.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter teleported there immediately, peeked out with his head, then crawled back in and opened the door.
Wuyuan Xuzhu walked in, nodded slightly to Xiao Xunbao, then ignored his own beast tamer, his gaze landing precisely on Xia Bao, before looking at Qiao Sang and calling out:
"Nothing."
Good morning.
Michaela and Jiu Bugu glanced at Wuyuan Xuzhu with surprise.
Penjami glanced at Xia Bao, then at Qiao Sang, seemingly lost in thought.
"Good morning," Qiao Sang greeted, then asked, "Have you eaten? Want to eat together?"
"Nothing."
Wu Yuan Xu Zhu called out, indicating that he had eaten.
As it spoke, it went to the table, placed the box it had been carrying in front of Xia Bao, and called out again:
"Nothing."
This is the breakfast it prepared for Sharara.
Qiao Sang looked at the box, and her first thought was: They actually prepared breakfast. Sure enough, any pet that recognizes Sharara will be unable to resist being nice to her.
However, she immediately had a second thought: Wait a minute, the Wishless Void Lord is the pet beast of Tianyuan Star, why is it being so nice to Xia Lala?
"Xia Xia?"
Xia Bao paused for a moment, then pointed to herself.
"Nothing."
The Lord of No Wish nodded.
Xia Bao opened the box and saw a green tree fruit covered with strange patterns.
Green Grain Fruit is a relatively rare tree fruit that grass-type pets can eat. It can greatly increase and refine the energy in the body. Qiao Sang immediately recognized what the tree fruit was and quickly said:
"This shouldn't be eaten for breakfast."
Xia Bao immediately stopped picking up the tree fruit.
"Nothing?"
The Wishless Void Master looked over with a puzzled expression and called out, indicating why. It had specifically asked its grass-type friend, who said that this tree fruit was very popular among grass-type pets.
Qiao Sang explained, "Xia Bao is currently suppressing her evolution, and this Green Grain Fruit can increase a lot of energy, so it's not suitable for her to eat it now."
Hearing this, Tingbao felt a surge of pride and a look of satisfaction on his face. He thought to himself that his beast tamer hadn't wasted his time studying and knew what it was without even asking that annoying human.
"Nothing."
The Wishless Void Master revealed an "I see" expression, then closed the box, picked it up, and called out, indicating that it would send something else next time.
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
"Since you've already brought it, why are you taking it away too?" Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, and then shouted:
"Aren't you leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer?"
"Nothing."
Without turning its head, Wuyuan Xu called out once, indicating that it had other things to do.
After finishing his speech, he closed the door and left with a flourish.
Throughout the entire meal, Michaela did not utter a single word, but silently ate his breakfast.
Josan glanced at Professor Michaela, then at the closed door, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Teacher, is there some misunderstanding between you and the Wishless Void Master?"
Michaela was silent for two seconds before saying, "We have no misunderstanding."
Penjami glanced at her own Beastmaster.
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bugu let out a cry, indicating that its own beast tamer had driven out the entire race of the Wishless Ones, so how could it possibly give her a kind look?
Tingbao glanced at Michaela, his face clearly saying "Serves him right."
Expelling a race? Qiao Sang suddenly realized: "So that pet beast was the Lord of No Wish!"
She remembered that they had talked before that one of Teacher Michaela's professional beast tamer assessment tasks was to expel a race, but he left behind a pet egg. Later, the pet egg hatched and formed a contract with the beast. After participating in the Interstellar Cup, this incident was exposed. After learning what had happened, the pet argued with Teacher Michaela and stayed on Tianyuan Star.
So this pet beast was none other than the Wishless Void Master. No wonder she always felt there was something strange about the atmosphere between it and Teacher Michaela.
"Investigate further."
Jiu Bugu nodded.
Michaela remained silent.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can talk about this properly. After all, the task of expelling the races was given when we were assessing professional beast tamers, and you didn't want it to happen."
Michaela reminisced about the past and sighed, "The Lord of No Wishes is not the type to have a proper conversation."
"Probably not," Qiao Sang analyzed. "If it were really angry about this, I think it would have forcibly terminated the contract and wouldn't have helped you even after you summoned it. But it stayed, so I think it still cares about you."
Penjami glanced at Qiao Sang and nodded silently, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Michaela smiled wryly, "With my current brain capacity, forcibly breaking the contract would cause irreversible damage to it. If it wants to increase its strength and gain a foothold in the Beast Taming Alliance, it wouldn't do something so foolish. As for keeping it here..."
As she spoke, she looked at Xia Bao and continued:
"I think it was for Sharara."
"Xia Xia?"
For me? Xia Bao looked puzzled.
For Xia Bao? Qiao Sang glanced at Xia Bao, equally puzzled, and was about to ask.
Michaela abruptly changed the subject, saying, "When Seri Charamba comes, let him check on Xia Bao as well. If his energy has reached the intermediate limit, we can arrange for his evolution as soon as possible."
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, her first reaction being disapproval: "Let him examine Xia Bao? What if he recognizes him?"
Michaela looked at her and said seriously, "The reason we didn't let the school's trainers examine Xia Bao or let the school know about Xia Bao's existence was mainly because you didn't have a contract back then. Now that you have a contract, you don't have to worry about others knowing about Xia Bao's existence anymore."
Qiao Sang was still a little worried: "What if..."
Michaela seemed to know what she was going to say and interrupted with a smile, "An 18-year-old S-rank Beastmaster, as long as he has a brain, will not try to take advantage of Sharara again."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred.
Michaela continued, "I think Xia Bao probably doesn't want to live outside looking like other pets in the future."
Qiao Sang looked at Xia Bao and found that Xia Bao was also looking at her with an expectant look on her face.
"I understand." Qiao Sang nodded without further hesitation.
"Xia Xia!"
Xia Bao's face immediately lit up with joy, and she called out, "Qingqing!"
Qingbao, standing beside her, also cheered happily, feeling joy for Xiabao.
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter pointed to the Transformation-resistant Flower on Xia Bao's head and exclaimed, indicating that if he didn't need to transform, then he wouldn't need the flower anymore.
As it spoke, it brought its paws closer to the variegated flower.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Bao leaned its head back to avoid Xiao Xunbao's claws, and barked to indicate that the flower was a gift from Zeriloka and that it wanted to keep it.
"Search."
Little Treasure withdrew its paw with a disappointed look.
During the casual conversation, everyone finished their breakfast one after another. Then, Penjami's eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared from the spot.
Before long, it appeared in the room with Serai, who was carrying the equipment.
He was wearing a heavy down jacket, a hat, and gloves, clearly knowing he was coming to the Ice Country.
"Ice Saint Asia has evolved? Really?!" Seri looked around excitedly, as if searching for something.
His gaze quickly fell on Lu Bao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly put down the equipment he was holding. He froze for a moment, then, his expression became excited, and he slid down to his knees in front of Lu Bao, his face filled with disbelief, reaching out to touch her.
"My God! Is this... is this the evolved form of Ice Saint Asia?"
Lu Bao silently stepped back.
Seemingly realizing he had lost his composure, Seri quickly lowered his hand, stood up, and, controlling his agitated emotions, said:
"Sorry, I got a little too excited. I never expected to see Ice Saint Asia break through the limits of her race."
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Sang and asked impatiently:
Why did Ice Saint Asia break through the racial limit?
“I don’t know the specifics either. I wasn’t with Lu Bao at the time. Teacher Michaela probably knows more than I do,” Jossan said.
Serai looked at Michaela with expectant eyes.
Michaela: "."
What could I possibly know? I was totally baffled when Ice Saint Asia evolved, okay? Michael thought to himself, but said calmly on the surface, "I think it was the surrounding environment combined with extreme sadness that allowed it to successfully break through the limits of its species."
"Extreme sadness?" Seri quickly followed up, "What kind of environment was it?"
“In the glacier,” Michaela said.
"Glacier, sadness," Serai murmured these two words, wishing he could get an Ice Saint right now to experiment on it.
"Don't forget you're here to inspect," Michaela urged, seeing that he hadn't started yet.
"Sorry, sorry, I was just too excited." Seree said as she turned on the equipment to examine Lu Bao.
Lu Bao did not dodge, but cooperated quietly.
Time passed slowly.
About an hour later, Serai finally put down his equipment and remarked with emotion:
"Ice Saint Asia has evolved perfectly. Now, ice energy accounts for nearly 95% of its body, while water energy accounts for a pitifully small percentage. I think that even if it awakens new abilities after this evolution, they will all be related to ice."
"Truly worthy of being a trainer at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, your prediction was completely correct." Qiao Sang thought to himself, but outwardly agreed wholeheartedly.
"I think that's probably true. After Lu Bao evolved this time, the temperature around it dropped significantly. Even without using any skills, ice crystals sometimes float around its body."
Serai laughed and said, "This is a manifestation of a certain ice-type physique that has become so powerful that some ice-type pets can even freeze the air with their breath without any control."
So that's how it is. Qiao Sang thought to herself that she had learned something new.
At this moment, Michaela said, "There is one more pet that you need to check."
"Who?" Serai asked, turning her head.
"Xia Bao," Qiao Sang called out.
"Xia Xia."
Xia Bao floated down from the chair, came to Serui, gave her a sweet smile, and called out.
When Seree looked at the pet in front of her, she was taken aback and felt that it looked very familiar.
Soon, something occurred to him, his pupils trembled violently, his mind went blank, his expression froze, and his brain went completely empty.
It took Serai a long time to come to her senses. Staring intently at the pet beast before her, she heard her own heart pounding wildly and stammered:
"Xia, Xia Lala?"
To be honest, he neither believed his own eyes nor dared to believe his own judgment.
Xia Lala? The mythical beast Xia Lala? Xia Lala, the savior of Yan Tian Star?
How could it be here?!
"Xia Xia."
Xia Bao nodded and called out, indicating that it was me.
“It’s Sharara.” Michaela was not surprised by Serai’s shock and said calmly, “That’s what I asked you to check.”
Serai looked at Michaela and stammered, "S-senpai, what's going on with Sharara here?"
“Because it made a pact with me,” Jossan said.
"???"
"!!!"
Serai suddenly turned to look at Qiao Sang, her eyes widening in disbelief.
What did she say? Who made a contract? Who did Sharara make a contract with? Did Sharara make a contract?
Seri's mind was in complete chaos; he swore he had never been so confused in his life.
He was so shocked and confused that he even forgot to speak.
"Teacher, can I check now?" Qiao Sang asked.
Serai snapped out of her daze, still incredulous, and stammered, "You, say it again, who did Sharara make a contract with?"
“Follow me,” Josan said.
"How could this be? How could Sharara make a contract with a human?" Serai was in a daze, finding it hard to accept.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. He looked up abruptly, frowned, and said:
"That's not right, you've already contracted six pet beasts."
"I've broken through," Qiao Sang said succinctly.
Seri: "!!!"
Seri's mind went blank again, then she snapped back to reality, slapped her forehead, and said, "No, no! I remember you were only 18!"
“I’m 18 years old,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “I didn’t expect I could break through so quickly.”
Serai stood there, stunned, her mind almost blank.
What, what does that mean?
Breakthrough?
An A-rank Beastmaster breaks through to become an S-rank Beastmaster.
An 18-year-old S-rank Beast Tamer?
An 18-year-old S-rank Beast Tamer?!
Serai felt a "boom" in his brain, his eyes widened as he stared at the girl in front of him, his face filled with intense shock. For a moment, he even forgot about Xia Lala's existence.
An 18-year-old S-rank Beast Tamer—is this even human?!
