Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Chapter 1537 Assessment Task

Michaela fell silent; she knew the dean was considering changing Josan's tutor.

To be fair, she didn't think she was unqualified to teach Qiao Sang, but given Qiao Sang's extraordinary talent, there were indeed mentors in the school who were more qualified than her. The dean even brought up the old dean, which showed that she genuinely had this thought in her heart.

Michaela felt a pang of sadness. It was unusual for him not to respond to the dean's words. Partly, he didn't know how to respond, and partly, he didn't want to talk about this topic.

"Is Josan here now?" Theresa asked, not caring that Michaela hadn't responded.

Michaela uttered two words stiffly: "Not here."

After saying that, she realized that her attitude was a bit off, so she added, "She went to the Beast Taming Center to register for the S-level professional beast tamer assessment."

Theresa said, "Call me again when she gets back. I'll have a good talk with her about the mentor."

Michaela did not respond.

Theresa said earnestly, "Even if Josan changes her mentor, you are still her mentor. Your contributions will not be forgotten. An 18-year-old S-rank Beastmaster, you should know what kind of talent that is."

Michaela gave a bitter smile: "I respect your arrangements."

Without further ado, she hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and lost all interest in showing off in the group chat.

Penjami noticed that her beast tamer wasn't having a pleasant conversation, so she didn't say anything and just stayed quietly to the side.

Beast Taming Center.

After confirming his identity and the information to be registered, Qiao Sang was respectfully invited into a spacious office.

An elderly man with half-white hair and a bipedal mechanical pet with mostly silver-white fur appeared out of thin air.

His gaze landed precisely on Qiao Sang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode over, scrutinizing her several times with the eyes of someone looking at a rare mythical beast, before saying enthusiastically:

"I never thought I would see an 18-year-old S-class Beast Tamer in my lifetime."

The old man led Qiao Sang to sit on the sofa, glanced at Ya Bao and the others one by one, then his gaze fell on Xia Bao. He paused noticeably, his eyes suddenly lighting up again, but finally his gaze returned to Qiao Sang, and he continued to speak enthusiastically:

"Qiao Sang, I've heard of you before. You're the youngest A-level professional beast tamer in history, and you recently won the Master Challenge. I didn't expect you to come to our Tianyuan Star after the competition and become an S-level beast tamer so quickly."

As he said this, he looked at Lu Bao and then at Xia Bao, his face full of emotion: "Not only did he form a contract with Xia Lala, but he also helped Bing Shengya break through the racial limit. Either of these things is enough to shock the entire Beast Taming World. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would really find it hard to believe."

Qiao Sang couldn't help but smile, but after hearing the question, she restrained herself and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man chuckled, “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Felix. In the Beast Taming Alliance, I am mainly responsible for pet information data and management. You have contracted with Sharara and cultivated the Ice Saint Asia race to a higher form. At your age, you applied for the S-level professional beast tamer assessment. The head of the Ice Kingdom Beast Taming Center felt that he could not handle it, so he contacted my department.”

"The Beast Taming Alliance's Pet Information Data and Management Department?" Qiao Sang jumped, quickly replying:

"Hello."

She didn't really know much about the various departments in the Beast Taming Alliance, but she had heard about the pet information data and the Management Bureau.

This department is responsible for information and data about pets throughout the interplanet. When pets like Fangbao and Steelbao evolved into new forms, they were registered at the Beast Taming Center. Ultimately, it was this department that made the final confirmation before the information appeared throughout the interplanet, and only then would various pet identification devices display the corresponding data.

"What would you like to drink?" Felix asked in a friendly tone.

"Water is fine," Qiao Sang said.

“Water.” Felix turned to look at his two-legged mechanical pet.

"Lili."

The bipedal mechanical pet opened its belly as if opening a refrigerator door, took out a bottle of water, and placed it in front of Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

"Lili."

The bipedal mechanical pet smiled slightly and stood down next to its tamer.

"Is there something you need to confirm this time?" Qiao Sang asked as she took a sip of water.

Felix laughed and said, "Originally, I was going to confirm it, but after seeing Sharara, the evolved form of Ice Saintia, and you, I think I don't need to confirm anything anymore."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the evolved form of Ice Saint Asia?"

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "Ice Luo Di Miao".

“Ice Lodi Mu.” Felix repeated the name, then asked, “Which Mu?”

“The Muse of the Muse,” Josan said.

Felix glanced at Lu Bao and praised, "The name suits its image very well."

After saying that, he remembered the important matter and said, "Any race that breaks through its original level limit needs to undergo a full-body test, and the data is recorded. You have no problem with that, right?"

Qiao Sang shook her head and said, "Of course not."

When Toothpick and Steelpick evolved into their new forms, they also needed to undergo comprehensive testing.

Felix glanced at the surroundings and said, "The detection data needs to show the complete form. This place is not suitable for Ice Lodimu testing. Let's find another place."

“Okay.” Qiao Sang had no objections.

“Let’s go.” Felix looked at the bipedal mechanical pet.

"Lili."

The eyes of the bipedal mechanical pet glowed blue, and the next second, the group of figures disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, on a wide-open grassland, a group of figures appeared out of thin air.

This is not the Ice Kingdom. After glancing at his surroundings, Qiao San quickly came to a conclusion.

“Ice Lodimu needs to revert to its original form,” Felix said without wasting any time.

"Lu Bao," Qiao Sang called out.

Without saying a word, Lu Bao pressed the miniature shrinking bracelet.

Then its size gradually increased until it was over fifty meters tall.

A bipedal mechanical pet floated in front of it, its eyes glowing blue as it scanned its entire body. At the same time, lines of data appeared in its pupils as the scan progressed.

"Lili."

Shortly after, the bipedal mechanical pet cried out, indicating that the test was successful and the storage was complete.

Blue Star.

Ancient Mist Region.

Waterlooana Conservation Center.

At the edge of the pool, Dr. Jiang used a fork to put a piece of cut tree fruit into the mouth of a water lily with its mouth open.

There were also many Luana fish with their mouths open, waiting to be fed. Dr. Jiang fed one after another.

A few seconds later, he placed the tree fruit in front of one of the water lilies that had not opened its mouth.

The water sprite gave him a cold look, ignored him, and turned to leave.

Dr. Jiang was used to it, and after a sigh, he continued to feed the other water lilies.

At this moment, an assistant in a white coat walked over and said:

"Dr. Jiang, today's experiment is over, and Bing Shengya still shows no energy fluctuations or emotional fluctuations."

As the protective center for the Water Luna race, this place gathers all stages of Water Luna's forms, with Ice Saint Asia being the ultimate form and the fewest in number, consisting of only one.

Although Ice Saint Asia has a good personality, it doesn't like to meet strangers or unfamiliar pets and prefers to live alone. Therefore, the protection center specially built a large area suitable for ice-type pets to live in. Even when leaders come to visit, they are usually not taken to the area where Ice Saint Asia lives. People outside rarely know that there is an Ice Saint Asia living in the Water Luana Center.

As the only Water Luana protection center in the Ancient Mist region and the only one in the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, its main task is to protect and breed the Water Luana race. They have been experimenting with research on breaking through the race's limits, but they have never held out hope.

It's one thing to have no hope, but research in this area is still being conducted routinely every now and then.

Therefore, Dr. Jiang was not surprised at all upon hearing this, but instead asked:

"Is Bing Shengya in a good mood?"

"Fortunately, there were no fluctuations. She was very cooperative with the research. After the research was finished, she ate and went to sleep," the assistant said.

He paused, then added, "It just feels so uninspired, like I can't muster any interest in anything."

While feeding the Water Luanas tree fruits, Dr. Jiang said, "Ice Saint Asia is already quite old and doesn't have enough energy. Let it rest more. The research on breaking through the racial limit will be suspended for a week."

"Understood," the assistant replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Waterlooana Conservation Center was suddenly filled with the sound of system beeping.

This is a sound that signifies an important announcement, usually indicating that news about Water Luna has emerged, such as the appearance of a wild Water Luna in need of rescue, or the discovery of a wild Water Luna pet egg, etc.

Dr. Jiang was taken aback at first, then perked up, shoved the plate of tree fruits into his assistant's hand, and strode toward the main building.

Soon, he arrived at the research studio, stepped inside, and asked:

What news is it?

However, no one answered him immediately. Instead, they stood there stunned and bewildered, something that had never happened before.

Dr. Jiang frowned, looked at one of the young researchers, and asked again:

"Kobayashi, you tell me, what exactly is it?"

The young researcher turned his head, took a deep breath, and, with a mixture of shock and ecstasy, exclaimed:

"Ice Saint Asia! An Ice Saint Asia has broken through the racial limit and evolved to the Emperor level! The Beast Taming Alliance has updated its data! Its name is Ice Luo Di Mu!"

Dr. Jiang: "!!!"

Tianyuan Star.

On a wide-open grassland, the blue light in the eyes of the bipedal mechanical pet faded.

“The data on Ice Lodimu has been entered into the database,” Felix said.

"So fast!" Qiao Sang exclaimed in shock.

You know, in the past, the Beast Taming Center would spend half a day checking the evolutionary forms of Ya Bao and Gang Bao at each stage, basically from day to night, and they would even have to work overtime. She thought that the check on Lu Bao would also take a long time, and she had already prepared herself to stay here for most of the day. She didn't expect the time to be so short.

“My mechanical-type pet is specifically responsible for checking pet data. It can grasp all the data with just a scan, so it’s the most time-saving way to check data,” Felix said with a smile.

So that's how it is. Josan glanced at the bipedal mechanical-type pet not far away, then looked at Felix, about to ask if they could go back now that the check was done.

However, before he could speak, the other party said:

"Did you also sign up for the S-level professional beast tamer exam today?"

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement and said, "But I only mentioned it to the staff, and I haven't filled out any forms or anything yet, before I was brought here."

This means she hasn't officially registered yet.

“I know about the assessment,” Felix said with a smile. “One of the reasons I came here this time is because of this assessment.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the other party could conduct an assessment?

The next second, his premonition came true, and Felix continued, "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Felix, and I am currently the Chief Information Officer of the Pet Beast Information Data and Management Bureau of the Beast Taming Alliance. I happen to have the qualification to issue tasks to Beast Tamers who are taking the S-level professional Beast Tamer exam."

To be an examiner for S-rank professional beast tamers, strength is secondary; the most important thing is to hold a high position and power in various departments of the Beast Taming Alliance. Only the highest-ranking leaders in various departments of the Beast Taming Alliance are qualified to issue tasks to beast tamers who are examining S-rank professional beast tamers.

Qiao Sang immediately straightened his posture and said seriously:

"Good morning, examiner!"

Felix's expression also turned serious, and he said:

"Now, I am officially issuing you the task of assessing your skills to become an S-rank professional beast tamer."

Qiao Sang pricked up his ears.

Felix's expression was serious as he spoke, word by word:

"In the eastern hemisphere of Tianyuan Star, a pet beast that has not been registered with the Beast Taming Alliance has appeared. It is highly suspected to be an alien pet beast from an unknown planet. You need to find it, capture it, and bring it to me."

Alien pet? Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up and she perked up. She then imagined a scene from a movie and cautiously asked, "What will happen after we capture it?"

She wasn't particularly surprised to hear about alien pets, since the book had recorded that the discovery of Yantian Star was due to the first discovery of a Yantian Star pet that had mistakenly entered Blue Star.

Felix did not hide anything, saying, "Once the information is collected, it will be sent to the Tenth Seat to help them search for new life-bearing planets."

It seems he won't be dissected and studied anymore. Qiao Sang dismissed the images of alien pets being dissected and studied in the movie from his mind and felt inexplicably relieved.

Felix continued, "The mission lasts for one year, starting from today. After you return, you can find my contact information on the official backend of the Beast Taming Center. Once you complete the mission, just contact me directly."

"Now we're going back, and you can start preparing for the mission."

After speaking, he turned to look at the bipedal mechanical-type pet.

The eyes of the bipedal mechanical pet glowed blue.

"Wait!" Qiao Sang raised her hand to stop her.

The blue light in the eyes of the bipedal mechanical pet dissipated.

“Is there anything else?” Felix asked.

"That's it? Is there no other information about that alien pet?" Qiao Sang tried to get more information: "Like what it looks like."

Felix said helplessly, "We haven't figured out what it looks like yet."

Qiao Sang: "???" (End of Chapter)
