Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 251 - 239 I Participate
Chapter 251: Chapter 239 I Participate
Chapter 251: Chapter 239 I Participate
“I don’t have anything special I want to participate in,” Qiao Sang casually asked, “How about you? Which event do you want to join?”
Although Jin Feifan wasn’t a poor student, as one of the standout specially recruited students in the class, she was sure to be a part of the athletics meeting.
“I want to try the shuttlecock kicking,” Jin Feifan said, somewhat embarrassed.
“That’s an easy one; it’s perfect since your pet beast is a Ball Reed. I feel like you’ve got this in the bag,” Qiao Sang laughed.
In the shuttlecock kicking event for pet beasts, they couldn’t use their skills, but they could use their heads, feet, and other body parts to keep the shuttlecock in the air, except for their upper limbs. For Grass-type pet beasts, their Vine Whip is considered a part of their body, so it is allowed for use under the rules.
Generally speaking, Grass-type pet beasts participating in this event have a great chance of winning.
The first period was for the homeroom teacher.
When it was time for class, Li Yi walked in, accompanied by a Gravity Monkey holding a box of school uniforms.
The school uniforms were handed out one by one.
Looking at the school uniform in hand, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel impressed inwardly; if there’s one thing you can say about the Beastmaster Society, it’s that they’re really efficient.
If this had been his previous life, new students would report their sizes at the beginning of the school year, and normally it would take up to half a month before the uniforms were distributed, but now it had taken less than five days.
During the lesson, Li Yi sped up the content delivery, explaining at twice the normal speed, and everyone listened without effort.
Except for Qiao Sang…
Qiao Sang was frantically taking notes, wishing he could grow two more hands.
Although his memory had greatly improved, in a class full of whiz kids, he had no choice but to work hard!
Once the lesson content was covered, there was still a good chunk of time left before the end of the period.
Li Yi clapped his hands and said, “We will use the remaining time to continue yesterday’s topic. The school’s sports festival will be held on September 29. This will also be the first one you all participate in.”
“Although our class is acknowledged as the top in terms of academic performance, I hope our students can develop comprehensively in moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic education, and achieve commendable results in the sports festival as well. I believe our class has the absolute capability to do so!”
Throughout his speech, the homeroom teacher didn’t look askance, and while it seemed he was addressing the whole class, anyone with a clear eye could tell that these polite words, just repeated from yesterday, were clearly directed at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang showed no reaction; he was still bent over, reviewing his freshly written notes to reinforce the content.
Li Yi cast a sidelong glance and continued, “To call on everyone to work hard, I make a solemn promise today that as long as we come in first, from then on, the PE teacher will absolutely never be sick!”
The classroom erupted in laughter.
Jin Feifan muttered under her breath, “Do all homeroom teachers love to say this kind of thing? My middle school teacher said the same, and yet the PE teacher was so often ill and on leave, that I barely ever saw him in my entire ninth grade.”
Qiao Sang raised his head and asked, “Did your class win first place in the sports festival back then?”
Jin Feifan paused, “We got fourth.”
“Then you can’t really blame your middle school teacher,” Qiao Sang chuckled.
Jin Feifan: “…”
Soon, the selection process got underway.
“First event, the 400-meter hurdles sprint; does anyone want to participate?” Li Yi looked around and asked.
The hurdles sprint was a sport that Beast Tamers and their pet beasts completed together, with the pet beast wearing a sensory device on their head, and the Beast Tamer at starting point wearing an electronic visual device.
There wouldn’t be actual hurdles placed on the track, but they would show up in the Beast Tamer’s electronic visual device.
As the pet beast approached where the hurdle was located, the Beast Tamer had to jump on the spot. The sensory device would make the pet beast pick up on their Beast Tamer’s movement.
At that moment, the pet beast had to jump since the hurdle would rise suddenly from the ground.
The hurdles sprint tested the pet beast’s speed, reaction time, and the level of understanding and trust with their Beast Tamer, which wasn’t an easy feat for first-year students who had just become Beast Tamers.
Despite this, many students eagerly raised their hands to sign up.
They had all just become Beast Tamers, full of high spirits, especially being students from the prominent Beast Taming High School’s elite class.
The signup process went relatively smoothly, and after fifteen minutes…
Li Yi coughed as he looked at the sign-up sheet in his hand, “Everyone, quiet down for a moment, there are still three events with no participants: barehanded brick splitting, swimming relay, and aerial hoops. Would anyone like to give it a try?”
Almost the entire class glanced unintentionally towards Qiao Sang’s direction.
“Qiao Sang, aren’t you signing up?” A classmate sitting in front asked in a low voice, turning around.
A twitch formed at the corner of Qiao Sang’s mouth as she said, “None of these events seem suited for me.”
She had intended to fill in wherever was needed, but who would have thought these three would be what’s left.
Barehanded brick splitting, an event exclusively for Combat Series pet beasts, is mostly attended by Combat Series pet beasts; pet beasts of other attributes that participate are just cannon fodder.
The swimming relay, an event to be completed together by Water-type pet beasts and Beast Tamers. Although her third pet beast was pre-booked as Shuilu Yana, she still hadn’t made the contract and didn’t dare to guarantee that she would have the third page of the Beast Taming Codex before the sports meet.
Aerial hoops, an event for Flying-type pet beasts. It wasn’t mandated that only Flying-type pet beasts could participate, but they did have a significant advantage in this event.
Pet beasts must snatch the floating hoops in the air, and whoever hooks the hoop onto the target’s hanger below first is deemed the winner.
The hoops would be replenished in time, and the remaining pet beasts would continue to compete for ranking.
In the meantime, wind machines would create wind disturbances, and although the rules stated that no skills could be used against competing pet beasts, skills could be used on the hoops themselves.
Except telekinesis.
Skills could also be used to accelerate in the air.
Except teleportation.
What’s the point then!
Qiao Sang truly suspected that these rules were crafted specifically against Supernatural Power Series pet beasts.
All in all, this event was time-consuming and required a great deal of effort, testing the pet beasts’ understanding of wind direction and force.
Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao could participate, but with rules against attacking opponents and using teleportation, how could they outplay Flying-type pet beasts that had the upper hand in the air?
Just as Qiao Sang was inwardly shaking her head, Li Yi finally couldn’t help but call her out, “Qiao Sang, aren’t you going to participate in an event?”
Qiao Sang shook her head, “These events don’t suit my pet beasts.”
“I think your Flame Listening Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost are pretty suited for the aerial hoops,” Li Yi said with a sly smile.
That’s just plain bullshit… Qiao Sang said, “I think Yu Zhao is more suited than I am.”
Yu Zhao was the one who had been running around chasing the chubby pigeon on the first day of school.
Yu Zhao, who had been enjoying the excitement, was startled and quickly declined, “I can’t do it!”
He had no desire to participate in some exhausting sports meet!
Just studying alone took up so much time, where would he find the energy to spend on training?

“Qiao Sang, as a member of our class…” Li Yi looked at Qiao Sang, about to play the sentiment card to persuade her, but he was cut off mid-sentence, startled by the sudden appearance of a pet beast.
“Xun Xun!”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost appeared, excitedly pointing at an event written on the blackboard.
All the students followed its direction to look at the blackboard.
A twitch returned to Qiao Sang’s mouth, “Are you sure?”
“Xun!” The little Treasure-seeking Ghost nodded solemnly.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Sang turned and spoke, “Teacher, I’ll participate.”
To her declaration, Li Yi expressed surprise and delight, “That’s right! Even though aerial hoops is mostly for Flying-type pet beasts, I and the rest of the class believe in your strength.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback, “Teacher, I’m not participating in aerial hoops. The event I want to participate in is barehanded brick splitting.”
Li Yi: “???”
“Xun~”
