An S-rank trait! Qiao Sang was pleasantly surprised.

Up until now, among all the pets she had encountered, only Qingbao possessed an S-rank trait at the Low-level stage.

An S-rank Lightning Rod meant that even if a High-level Electric-type pet two ranks higher than Tingbao executed an Electric-type skill, it would deal zero damage to him.

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao put on a puzzled expression. Was an S-rank impressive, or was an A-rank impressive?

"Xun xun~"

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Little Treasure floated to his side and explained earnestly.

Of course an S-rank is more impressive.

Saying that, he ran through the trait ranks from lowest to highest.

"Lei lei."

Hearing this, Tingbao displayed a That's only natural expression.

Jacqueline stated: "An S-rank Lightning Rod means he can also digest food rich in Electric-type energy much faster. You can usually feed him a bit more Electric-type energy food so he can grow faster as well."

Pets possessing S-rank traits were indeed one in ten million, but as an instructor at the Imperial Beast University, she had seen far too many exceptionally talented pets.

Furthermore, the pet talent of Imperial Class students ranked among the absolute top tier among all students in the University. Thus, Jacqueline was merely taken aback for a single moment before quickly managing her facial expression, calming down, and even offering assistance with breeding guidance.

Qiao Sang immediately sought advice with humility: "Do you have any recommendations, Professor? I'm not very familiar with some of Flame Star's pet materials and foods."

"You can purchase some Electric Sweet Fruits, Thunder Clear Fluid..." Jacqueline listed several foods related to the Electric element.

Pulling out her phone, Qiao Sang took notes in her memo app while listening.

"That's roughly about it." Jacqueline said. 

"There are plenty of other Electric-related foods, but those aren't very suitable for a Low-level Electric-type pet to consume."

"Understood." Qiao Sang nodded.

"Since Tingbao's trait has been checked, we'll take our leave first." Jacqueline rose to her feet and stated.

Fulu Tiantian picked up the square device.

"Please stay a bit longer." Qiao Sang offered. 

"Teacher Mikayla might be back in a little while."

"No need." 

Jacqueline smiled and said: "I still have to head back to help formulate some pet energy pellet recipes."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang refrained from pressing further, saying politely: "Goodbye, Professor."

With that, she escorted Jacqueline and Fulu Tiantian to the doorway.

While putting on her shoes, Jacqueline suddenly recalled something, turning her head to say:

"By the way, Teacher Mikayla has experience in raising Dragon-type pets. Not just regarding Tingbao's training, but you can also ask her more about Tingbao's breeding methods."

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, asking: "What is Teacher Mikayla's Dragon-type pet?"

Jacqueline blanked out as well: "You don't know?"

Qiao Sang shook her head: "I only know she has a Dragon-type pet, but I don't know what species it is."

Truth be told, after spending time with Professor Mikayla up until now, the only pets of hers she knew were Spengami and Fate Spirit.

Jacqueline pondered for a moment and said: "Her Dragon-type pet is a Moda Wyvern. I only found out after hearing others mention it."

Moda Wyvern? Qiao Sang's eyes lit up: "Isn't that a pet from Flame Star?"

A Moda Wyvern, a King-level Dragon-type pet. Arrogant by nature, possessing an extremely strong sense of racial pride. She had seen it in books introducing Flame Star pets.

"It is indeed a pet from Flame Star." 

Jacqueline smiled and said: "I heard people say that back then, Teacher Mikayla went through endless trouble to finally form a contract with that Moda Wyvern. Later, to celebrate contracting the Moda Wyvern, she even held a lavish banquet back on Blue Star, attended by many big figures who have now become history. What a pity I wasn't born yet back then."

Pausing for a beat, she added: "Of course, back then, that Moda Wyvern was probably just a Little Moda Dragon."

Qiao Sang marveled: "Then Teacher Mikayla's bond with her Moda Wyvern must be exceptionally deep."

"Teacher Mikayla is a great Beast Tamer, as long as she is willing, she gets along wonderfully with any pet." 

Jacqueline said, turning her gaze to Tingbao: "I believe that after you contract with Tingbao in the future, your bond will be wonderful as well."

"Lei lei."

The corners of Tingbao's mouth curled up, displaying an "Of course" expression.

He liked the words this human spoke.

After Jacqueline left, Tingbao stared at Qiao Sang without moving a muscle.

Closing the front door, Qiao Sang turned around, only to be met with the sight of Tingbao staring right at her.

"Lei lei?" Tingbao called out.

Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment. Without waiting for Little Treasure or Gangbao to translate, she walked to the sofa, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began meditating.

Putting on a satisfied expression, Tingbao wriggled his body toward the open-air training field to begin training.

After clearing the table, Gangbao flapped her wings and similarly headed toward the open-air training field.

Seeing her Beast Tamer meditating and her companions all gone, Little Treasure felt it was boring. Letting out a burp, he turned and drifted into a black hole that materialized out of thin air.

---

The open-air training field.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao moved his body to stand beside Qingbao, who was currently training, letting out a call to signal that he wanted her to help him conduct the same movement speed and reaction training as last time.

Halting her movements, Qingbao turned her head. Seeing that her Beast Tamer hadn't come over, she let out a heartless call: "Qing qing."

No way. She had a match tomorrow as well, so she needed to train herself.

Tingbao blanked out for a moment, seemingly not expecting to be rejected. However, he said nothing, raising his proud head as he turned to leave.

At this moment, a black hole materialized out of thin air.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure poked his way out from the black hole, offering earnest advice to Qingbao.

Just help the sixth child out, it's rare for him to be this motivated.

Halting his steps, Tingbao looked over.

"Qing qing?"

Qingbao called out, asking why he didn't help him train instead.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out with a sigh.

Isn't it because he's too strong? The sixth child can't handle it at all.

Qingbao's face darkened, and an unusual wind whipped up around her body.

"Xun xun~"

However, before the gust could turn into a wild gale, Little Treasure called out in a pleading tone.

Just help the sixth child out. Besides, you're so strong, even with a little less training time today, you're guaranteed to win anyway.

The wind came to a halt.

Inexplicably recalling the way Little Treasure had proactively stepped forward today, Qingbao fell into a brief silence. Displaying a What you say isn't entirely without reason expression, she looked at Tingbao and called out: "Qing qing."

I'll accompany you to train.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao didn't stand on ceremony. Nodding gratefully to Little Treasure, he followed behind Qingbao to the training spot nearby.

A gust of wind suddenly swirled up pebbles of varying sizes from the ground, hurling them toward Tingbao.

Tingbao dodged left and right, moving rapidly to evade the incoming stones from the sky.

Watching this scene from the side, Little Treasure displayed a gratification-filled expression.

His subordinate was working so hard, he would definitely grow strong quickly. The stronger the subordinate, the stronger he would be as the big brother. After all, subordinates in TV dramas always hit wherever the big brother points.

The next morning.

Waking up, Qiao Sang meditated cross-legged for an hour before carrying out a brief wash-up and heading into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Gangbao stayed close by her side to help out.

Clanging sounds transmitted out from the kitchen.

Beside the dining table, a black hole materialized out of thin air.

Little Treasure poked out from within.

Pausing her hands' work, Qiao Sang looked toward the direction where Little Treasure appeared and said: "Wake Yabao, the others, and Teacher Mikayla up. Tell them breakfast is almost ready."

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out with immense energy, signaling mission guaranteed, before turning to dive into the black hole.

Roughly three minutes later, Little Treasure poked out from the black hole and called out: "Xun xun~"

Big Brother Yabao and the others are awake, but that teacher isn't in her room.

Just as his words fell, Yabao walked out of his room while yawning, arriving at the dining table to look around.

"Yap yap?"

Where's the food?

Gangbao carried over the energy pellets prepared by her Beast Tamer.

As the familiar aroma drifted into his nostrils, Yabao's spirits lifted, all sleepiness instantly banished as he began devouring his meal in large mouthfuls.

Qingbao and Tingbao arrived in the living room one after another as well.

Teacher actually didn't return last night... Reining in her thoughts, Qiao Sang said: "It's fine, you guys go ahead and eat first."

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure floated over to his own portion of energy pellets.

Qiao Sang pulled out her phone, preparing to dial Teacher Mikayla's number.

Right at this moment, Mikayla and Spengami materialized out of thin air right inside the living room.

A rare trace of exhaustion was visible on her face, and her clothes hadn't been changed.

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, set down her phone, and said: "Teacher, you're back just in time. I've just finished preparing breakfast."

"You go ahead and eat first; I'll wash my face first." Mikayla said, stepping upstairs.

Very quickly, she finished washing up, changed into fresh clothes, and came downstairs to pull out a chair and sit at the dining table, all traces of exhaustion vanished from her face.

Munching on a sandwich, Qiao Sang asked: "Where did you go yesterday?"

Taking a sip of milk, Mikayla stated calmly: "Met up with a friend."

As expected of an S-rank Beast Tamer, actually having friends on Flame Star... But then again, Teacher's Dragon-type pet is from Flame Star after all... Qiao Sang marveled in her mind, then asked with considerable interest: "Teacher, is your Dragon-type pet a Moda Wyvern?"

Mikayla's body stiffened, and she asked in return: "Who told you that?"

"Professor Jacqueline." Qiao Sang said. 

"Since you weren't around yesterday, I reached out to Professor Jacqueline myself to ask her to come over and help inspect the rank of Tingbao's Lightning Rod trait."

"What was the inspected rank?" Mikayla inquired.

Qiao Sang flashed a wide grin: "S-rank."

S-rank?! Mikayla abruptly turned her head, looking at Tingbao, who was currently eating energy pellets, with a face full of utter astonishment.

Jacqueline might not be clear, but having accompanied Qiao Sang all along, she knew with absolute clarity that Tingbao was merely one of the rewards from a regional competition.

Is this regional competition really that generous?!

Giving away a dual Dragon/Electric-type pet whose species limit was Emperor-rank for free was one thing, but it actually carried an S-rank Lightning Rod trait as well!

No, no, that's not right. A pet's trait can't be inspected while inside the pet egg; the organizers of that regional competition definitely didn't know either, or else how could they possibly be this generous... 

Calming herself down, Mikayla stated with a complex expression: "Tingbao's talent is quite good."

Tingbao raised his head to flash Mikayla a Did you really need to state the obvious? expression, then buried his head to continue eating energy pellets.

Qiao Sang returned to the main topic: "I heard you have an exceptionally deep bond with your Moda Wyvern."

The corners of Mikayla's mouth twitched: "Did Jacqueline tell you this as well?"

Qiao Sang uttered an "Mhm."

Taking a sip of milk, Mikayla drafted her words slightly before saying: "I am its Beast Tamer, having a deep bond with it is only normal."

"When can you let me meet the Moda Wyvern?" Qiao Sang asked.

Mikayla fell silent for a moment: "Why do you want to meet it?"

"It's a Dragon-type pet too, and it's from Flame Star." Qiao Sang explained. 

"I haven't seen many Dragon-type pets, so I might be able to learn more about Dragon-type pet matters through it."

Mikayla stated with composure: "If there's anything you want to know, you can feel free to ask me directly."

Qiao Sang fell into a brief two-second silence, then added: "I simply want to see a Moda Wyvern in person, I've never seen a King-level Dragon-type pet with my own eyes before."

Jacqueline... Maintaining a calm smile on her face, Mikayla stated: "The Moda Wyvern is currently managing its clan and can't get away. Once it has time in the future, I will arrange for you two to meet."

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment: "Managing its clan?"

Mikayla explained: "It has had the dream of managing its clan since it was young. Later, when I stopped traveling everywhere to battle, it returned to Flame Star and competed to become the leader of the Moda Wyvern species."

No wonder I've never seen Teacher Mikayla summon her Moda Wyvern in the past... Managing a species, what a grand dream... Qiao Sang digested this and asked: "Has their species produced an Emperor-rank pet?"

She recalled that the species limit for Moda Wyvern was Emperor-rank.

As long as there was an Emperor-level pet, it shouldn't fall to a King-level Moda Wyvern to serve as the leader.

"The specific clan it manages currently does not have one." Mikayla stated.

Got it. So the Moda Wyvern species is divided into several separate clans... Qiao Sang took a sip of milk, promptly recalling something, and probed: "Does the Moda Wyvern know how to use a phone?"

Mikayla stated calmly: "No, it doesn't read words like the Night Ring King."

"Xun xun~"

Hearing his species name, Little Treasure raised his head, then lowered it back down to eat energy pellets.

Mikayla continued: "If you have questions regarding Dragon-type pets, you can ask me directly. As for the Moda Wyvern, I'll let you two meet when it has free time."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang uttered a "Great," dropping the topic and getting down to eating her breakfast in earnest.

She just met the Dragon King yesterday, and today Qiao Sang is asking about the Moda Wyvern... The timing isn't right for Qiao Sang yet, and who knows how long she'll stay on Flame Star. If she and the Dragon King end up meeting, the authority I've maintained for so long might collapse in her mind...

Various thoughts surfaced in Mikayla's mind, though her surface demeanor remained composed as she ate her breakfast.

---

After finishing breakfast, after sending Little Treasure and Qingbao to the Hourglass Tower, Qiao Sang, Mikayla, Yabao, and the others arrived at the Mulan Stadium under Spengami's Spatial Shift.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the live venue of the Contract Synergy Tournament!" The host announced passionately at the venue.

Simultaneously.

In a quiet valley.

"Mo mo!"

A roar akin to thunder resounded, instantly echoing across the entire valley.

The pets that were originally sleeping opened their eyes one by one, exchanged glances, flapped their wings, and flew toward the exact same direction.

High in the sky, the number of flying pets grew larger and larger.

Though varying in size and not entirely identical in form, it was easy to tell that all of them belonged to the Moda Wyvern evolutionary line.
