Free Web NovelChapter 2222: Chapter 295: Will Take Place in One Month...
PM.
In the opulently decorated private room at the Secret Restaurant.
A few waiters continuously brought in delicacies.
Yaobao and the others were eating heartily; even Jiu Bugu, who was usually melancholic, was enjoying the food with large bites and occasionally, his eyes sparkled, clearly satisfied with the taste.
Mikaela, while cutting a steak, said, "You’ve become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer, and really should inform the National Beast Control Bureau in Dragon Country. But once they find out, they might demand that you return immediately for training. To avoid hassle, I think it’s better to wait a few years before telling them."
Qiao Sang took a sip of her drink and said, "But isn’t it said that you’re only required to return for training if you don’t become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer within twenty years?"
"That’s because they suspect you would probably become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer close to the twenty-year mark." Mikaela laughed, "In general, only A-Level Professional Beast Tamers can participate in international and interstellar events. If you become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer, they wouldn’t let go of such potential."
"Of course, even if they find out, it’s no big deal. I won’t let you return to training so quickly, but it could be a bother."
"Then let’s not mention it for now," Qiao Sang said casually.
Though she was quite eager to participate in some international and interstellar events, she wanted to gain more experience out here for now, anyway, her strength was steadily increasing.
Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "How long is the lifespan of the Evil Abyss Spider?"
Evil Abyss Spider, King-level Pet Beast, although King-level Pet Beasts can live quite a long time, bug-type King-level Pet Beasts generally have shorter lifespans compared to other species of King-level Pet Beasts.
That examiner named Red lived for nearly a thousand years, and as Teacher Mikaela mentioned, he joined the Beast Taming Alliance at the age of 502. At that age, he must have already been an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer.
He is an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer even now, which means there were no opportunities to contract new pet beasts during that time.
As that examiner is now nearly a thousand years old, even if he contracted an Evil Abyss Spider at age 500, that Evil Abyss Spider would now be over four hundred years old. But she recalls that the average lifespan of bug-type King-level Pet Beasts doesn’t live that long.
Then there’s the Thunder Joy Dragon, with its temperamental and energetic disposition, nothing like a Dragon-type Pet Beast that lived for hundreds of years. An older Dragon-type Pet Beast should be more mature and stable, like the Dragon King, exuding a strong presence honed by years of experience... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang glanced in the direction of the Dragon King.
The Dragon King was busy picking something out of its dental spikes with its claws.
Well, Teacher Mikaela is only around two hundred years old, while among Emperor Level Dragon-types, Dragon King should be considered quite young... Qiao Sang quickly looked away, pretending she saw nothing.
Mikaela pondered for a moment and replied, "About 230 years on average."
After saying this, she asked, "Why ask the sudden question?"
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then answered without answering the question with a question, "That’s not right. If it’s only 230 years, then how does the examiner have an Evil Abyss Spider? Didn’t he become an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer when he joined the Beast Taming Alliance at around the age of 500?"
Mikaela immediately understood what Qiao Sang wanted to ask and smiled:
"Being at the level of an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer, unless some contracted pet beasts have particularly long lifespans, or unless you nurture the pet beast to at least Emperor Level, rarely do pet beasts live up to the average age of an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer."
Qiao Sang digested this information, then had a realization and said:
"Are you saying that Examiner Red’s previously contracted pet beast is gone?"
Mikaela nodded, "The Evil Abyss Spider was likely the pet beast he contracted after the Beast Taming Page became vacant."
When a pet beast dies unnaturally, the beast tamer’s brain domain suffers severe damage, but if the pet beast dies naturally due to the approaching end of its lifespan, the beast tamer experiences little impact; even if there are slight effects, they can recover over time.
By then, the new vacant Contract Page can be used to contract a new pet beast.
"That’s why even if one doesn’t want to become a Professional Beast Tamer, beast tamers with some talent consider pet beasts with high ceilings." Mikaela continued: "Because in this way, the contracted pet beast might accompany them for life."
After stating this, she remembered something and advised earnestly:
"One of the conditions for the Interstellar Cup is that S-rank Beastmasters must possess seven pet beasts. You still have the last contract slot. You can’t just choose based on immediate rapport anymore. With your talent and conditions, spending some time to contract a pet beast with the potential to reach Venerable Level isn’t impossible."
"You are only in your teens and already an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer. Even if you don’t join the Interstellar Cup in the future, finding a pet beast with a high ceiling will be beneficial for you."
"Ting Ting..."
Tingbao, who was eating, couldn’t help but look at that annoying human.
It felt like the human was mocking it.
Thinking of this, Tingbao couldn’t help but emanate electric arcs.
Qiao Sang noticed the movement and glanced at it.
Instantly, the electric arcs on Tingbao’s body subsided.
"I understand," Qiao Sang said, "but I feel it’s too early to talk about this; I just became an A-Level Professional Beast Tamer, still far from reaching S-rank."
That is true... Mikaela chuckled and decided not to pursue the topic further. Instead, she asked:
"What plans do you have next?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and replied, "I plan to look for Sun Crystal and at the same time take Shalala to some fun places."
Once she finds the Sun Crystal, she would leave Flame Sky Star, and then be separated from Shalala, it’s better to take it to fun places while still around.
After all, once she leaves, who knows if the Tenth Seat will allow Shalala to come out and play.
"Qingqing."
Hearing the conversation, Shalala raised its head and called sweetly, expressing that there’s no need to purposely take it to fun places, it can go anywhere.
"That won’t do," Qiao Sang smiled, "we agreed to take you out and play."
"Qingqing..."
Shalala was taken aback.
During this period of time, it actually forgot about going out and playing...
Mikaela couldn’t understand what Shalala said, but from Qiao Sang’s words, she vaguely guessed some things, just as she was about to speak.
Suddenly, hearing some commotion, she turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.
Qiao Sang also turned to look.
Just outside the window, a super-giant Flying-type Pet Beast was slowly passing by, flapping its wings.
A huge holographic screen was attached to its side.
The sky displayed a dreamy, dazzling advertisement.
Accompanied by the holographic image and professional voiceover, vibrant fonts also appeared in the air:
"The Master Challenge Tournament will be held in a month, an event covering hundreds of countries and regions globally, gathering the best A-Level Professional Beast Tamers to compete for a prize pool of 1 billion Alliance Currency and supreme glory. We welcome eligible A-Level Professional Beast Tamers to actively register and let us witness the perfect resonance of the Beast Taming era and the Beast Taming spirit."
