"Fu lu."
Fulu Tiantian stood at the doorway, letting out a cheerful call with a smile.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure offered a warm, enthusiastic greeting.
Jacqueline smiled and asked: "Are Qiao Sang and Teacher Mikayla inside?"
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure nodded and pointed inward.
Jacqueline and Fulu Tiantian stepped inside.
Hearing the commotion, Mikayla came down from the room upstairs. Seeing Jacqueline looking in such high spirits, she smiled and said: "It seems you had a good night's sleep."
Jacqueline flashed a bright smile, stating: "It was all thanks to Student Qiao Sang."
With that, she recalled her main purpose. Raising the bag in her hand, she said:
"The Envoy of Ill Omen hasn't bothered me again, so I was able to free up time to attend to my own affairs. These are the energy pellets I formulated for Tingbao. Fulu Tiantian had communicated Tingbao's physical data to me previously, so there won't be any errors."
For Fulu Tiantian to formulate energy pellets, it might take a week's time, but when Jacqueline handled it herself, the timeframe was reduced significantly.
Mikayla spoke to Little Treasure: "Call Qiao Sang and Tingbao over."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure nodded, then dived headfirst into a black hole, vanishing from sight.
Jacqueline blanked out for a moment upon seeing this: "Does the Night Ring King use Shadow Penetration for everyday movement as well?"
Mikayla explained: "He merely incorporates daily movement into his training."
Jacqueline instantly felt a deep sense of admiration.
Only the pets of Imperial Class students would use Super-tier skills for minor everyday tasks.
Jacqueline walked over to sit on the sofa. Promptly recalling something, she asked: "Has Professor Liaon contacted you?"
Mikayla cast a glance at her: "Why would he contact me?"
"Professor Liaon and Student Océane are currently on Flame Star as well. If he knew you were on Flame Star too, he would definitely reach out." Jacqueline said.
Mikayla smiled faintly: "My relationship with him isn't that close."
Amidst their conversation, Qiao Sang walked in from the open-air training field holding Tingbao.
Jacqueline instantly forgot what she had been about to say, looking over and greeting her warmly: "Student Qiao Sang."
"Professor, are Tingbao's energy pellets already made?" Qiao Sang inquired.
"Yes."
Jacqueline nodded slightly, opening the bag to pull out the food storage container inside, saying: "Right here. You can let Tingbao have a taste to see if he likes the flavor."
As a professional Breeder, the energy pellets formulated could not only enable a pet to grow well, but the flavor would also certainly be one the pet enjoyed.
As she spoke, she scooped out a handful of energy pellets from the storage container and placed them before Tingbao.
"Give it a try." Qiao Sang encouraged.
Tingbao lowered his head, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
Once he swallowed all the energy pellets, Tingbao nodded and let out a call: "Lei lei."
Not bad.
"Tingbao seems to like them very much." Qiao Sang said with a smile.
"I'm glad he likes them." Jacqueline replied.
Shortly after, she thought of something and asked: "Did you enter the Contract Synergy Tournament?"
Is this tournament really that popular? Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised: "You're watching this tournament as well, Professor?"
"I didn't watch it."
Jacqueline shook her head, explaining: "I just saw a promotional poster for the Contract Synergy Tournament on my way over, and it had Tingbao's photo on it. I figured you must be the only Beast Tamer on this star with a Little Thunder Dragon."
Tingbao was featured on a promotional poster? Didn't he just make his appearance in the tournament this morning? Qiao Sang was momentarily dazed.
Mikayla stated in a calm tone:
"There are numerous competitions on Flame Star. To attract more people and pets to watch the matches, they basically rotate their promotions daily. The poster Jacqueline saw likely featured pets that won their matches today. As an alien pet, Tingbao serves as a great promotional point, so he would naturally be featured."
"Exactly."
Jacqueline nodded in agreement: "Out of all the pets, I recognized Tingbao at a single glance."
So that's how it is... Qiao Sang came to a realization.
Tingbao continued eating his energy pellets without raising his head, appearing completely uninterested in all of this.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure, on the other hand, stood to the side wearing a regretful expression.
If he could have competed, his face would definitely be on the poster as well.
"When is the next match? If I have time, I'll go cheer you on." Jacqueline offered.
"Tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM." Qiao Sang replied.
The second round was structured just like the preliminaries, with the remaining 128 pairs of contestants competing simultaneously.

The following morning at 9:30 AM.
After a brief wash-up and breakfast, Qiao Sang set out with Teacher Mikayla.
Upon opening the front door, the familiar foul odor rushed into their nostrils.
Little Treasure picked up the bouquet and vanished on the spot. Three seconds later, he materialized out of thin air, letting out a call: "Xun xun~"
The flowers have been taken to the open-air training field.
"Job well done." Qiao Sang praised, opening her navigation app.
This time, she neither took a taxi nor rented a mount pet, choosing instead to sit on Yabao's back.
Yabao's enlarged form was entirely too eye-catching and would draw crowds whether on the ground or in the air. However, as long as Little Treasure stayed on Yabao's back alongside her, he could make them invisible through physical contact.
Mikayla cast a glance at Yabao, silently levitating up into the sky to travel independently.
Yabao's speed was significantly faster than a taxi, even while deliberately keeping his speed in check, it took less than ten minutes to reach the venue.
Jacqueline had client appointments scheduled for the morning, so she couldn't come along.
Arriving at the entrance of the stadium, Qiao Sang flipped down from Yabao's back and noticed Teacher Mikayla gazing at a massive billboard. She naturally followed her line of sight.
The Master Challenge Cup...
"Master Challenge Cup?" Qiao Sang read aloud.
"That is still very far away from you, so don't dwell on it for now." Mikayla stated.
Qiao Sang: ...
I'm not dwelling on it, I'm just curious...
"Is it a competition that only Beast Masters can participate in?" Qiao Sang asked.
"No, it's a competition for Beast Tamers who want to become Beast Masters." Mikayla answered.
The title of Beast Master was a designation granted only to the top performing Beast Tamers in the World Beast Taming Championships.
Qiao Sang possessed a rough understanding of it as well.
Mikayla continued: "The qualification standards for participating in the World Beast Taming Championships are extremely high, with spots tightly controlled by individual countries. Some capable Beast Tamers wish to compete but cannot even register. However, if one can win the Master Challenge Cup, an exception is made, allowing them to participate in the World Beast Taming Championships under any nation, academy, organization, club, or personal capacity they choose."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang marveled: "That truly is quite distant from me."
One had to know that those competing in the World Beast Taming Championships were all A-rank Beast Tamers holding global rankings. She wasn't even an A-rank Beast Tamer yet.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Mikayla said, retracting her gaze and stepping inside the stadium.
Cradling the freshly shrunken Yabao, carrying Lubao in her backpack, and with Tingbao wrapped around her neck, Qiao Sang followed close behind.
