Chapter 1132: Tingbao's Information

These words exploded like a thunderclap right by her ears, leaving Mikayla momentarily dazed in place, forgetting to speak.

What did she mean? Her brain region capacity had already broken through to 60%? Was breaking through a brain region capacity this easy? What had Qiao Sang done? Hadn't she just taken a nap?

Could a nap really cause a brain region capacity to break through from 59% to 60%? Was that even possible?

Mikayla was completely baffled, without the slightest bit of mental preparation. This feeling was somewhat similar to when Qiao Sang had suddenly told her that the Little Dumb Fruit in front of her was actually Shalala.

It was roughly that exact same level of impact.

Compared to Mikayla's shock and utter bewilderment, Dragon King reacted relatively quickly. Its eyes widened, and it let out a call: "Mo mo?"

Aren't you only 17 years old?

"Gang qiu." Gangbao helped translate in her mind.

"That's right." Qiao Sang nodded.

Dragon King stood agape, once again putting on a shocked expression.

At 17 years old, a human's brain region capacity could break through to 60%?

Was that even possible?

Qiao Sang enjoyed the reactions of Teacher Mikayla and Dragon King immensely, letting out a sigh: "Back when the Tenth Seat said my brain region was about to break through, I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect it to actually break through this quickly."

As she said this, the corners of her mouth curled upward uncontrollably.

Mikayla didn't say a word, her mouth remained slightly ajar as she was still digesting this piece of news.

"Mo mo..."

Dragon King's scope of knowledge wasn't that broad. Although it knew a human breaking through to 60% brain region capacity at 17 was a mind-blowing achievement, it didn't know the exact extent of just how mind-blowing it was. 

Thus, it finished digesting the news relatively quickly and let out an emotional call, indicating that the Tenth Seat was truly formidable to even see this coming...

Immediately after, it realized a matter it had forgotten: Having its junior form a contract with Qiao Sang!

Thinking of this, Dragon King's eyes flared brightly. Picking up the phone, it showed an excited expression and called out: "Mo mo!"

It suddenly missed its juniors a bit, it would call them over right now.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind: Dragon King wants to call its juniors over to form a contract with you.

Qiao Sang coughed and said: "There's another piece of news. Just moments ago, I formed a contract with Tingbao."

"Lei lei."

Tingbao climbed onto his Beast Tamer's neck, letting out a call in a great mood to indicate that was right.

The claw Dragon King was using to press the phone froze instantly, and the excited expression on its face stiffened abruptly. It looked up at Qiao Sang and Tingbao in disbelief.

Formed a contract this quickly?

Didn't she just break through?

At the thought that a monster who reached 60% brain region capacity at age 17 had already contracted another Dragon-type species, Dragon King felt such heartbreak that it could barely breathe.

How could it be this fast?!

"Peng peng."

Spengami cast a glance at Dragon King and called out, indicating that since it had been staying right here the whole time, how could it not even know that someone had broken through their brain region capacity and contracted Tingbao?

These words took only 0.01 seconds to pierce right into Dragon King's heart.

It couldn't help taking a step back, feeling even more heartbroken.

That's right! It was right under its nose, so how could it not have noticed at all!

If it had found out about Qiao Sang's brain region breakthrough in time, perhaps it could have stopped Qiao Sang from contracting Tingbao.

"Mo mo..."

Dragon King's entire face was written with regret and annoyance.

"You..." 

Mikayla finally spoke, confirming in a slightly raspy voice: "Your brain region capacity really broke through?"

Qiao Sang didn't speak. She directly formed hand seals with both hands, using action to demonstrate the answer.

A luxurious, mysterious purple star array suddenly lit up on the floor, then vanished.

Mikayla took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.

However, she couldn't keep calm at all.

"You broke through your brain region capacity just by taking a nap? You didn't do anything else? Like meditating after waking up?" Mikayla fired off three questions in a row.

Qiao Sang said: "I just took a nap. When I woke up, I felt like my condition was a bit different, so I checked the Beast Codex and found out I had broken through."

Mikayla fell silent once again.

To be honest, her composure was currently breaking down.

Qiao Sang subtly offered some flattery: "The Tenth Seat said I needed to rest more to break through. I think being able to break through smoothly this time is all thanks to you taking me to the Valley of Flowers, Teacher. Experiencing that long-lost tranquility allowed me to relax and break through so quickly."

Truthfully, it wasn't entirely flattery, she genuinely felt that Teacher Mikayla deserved the greatest credit for her fast breakthrough.

If Teacher Mikayla hadn't rented this villa, there wouldn't be the housekeeper Excellent Detective Cat, and her daily life wouldn't have been this easy.

She had also taken her to the Pet Spa Center to relax.

Most importantly, she had suggested going to the Valley of Flowers today.

And it was precisely inside the Valley of Flowers that she had completely relaxed.

Mikayla was silent for a long time, then asked: "You're saying you felt relaxed going to the Valley of Flowers, and that's why you broke through?"

Qiao Sang gave an "Mm".

Mikayla was silent once more, then said: "You just woke up and haven't eaten dinner yet. Have Excellent Detective Cat cook something for you. I'm going upstairs to sleep for a bit."

Sleep? Qiao Sang nodded: "Okay."

Mikayla silently turned around, went up to the second floor, walked into her room, closed the door, sat down on the bed, and lapsed into a daze.

After sitting like that for a full ten minutes, she pulled out her phone and bought a ticket to the Valley of Flowers for tomorrow.

Then, remembering something, she came to the desk, pulled out a chair to sit down, opened her laptop, clicked on her email, exhaled slowly, and began typing: [Dear Dean Theresa Dwight, I am reporting an outrageous yet true piece of news. Please be sure to believe it: just now, Qiao Sang's brain region capacity broke through to 60%, and she has contracted Little Thunder Dragon...]

---

In the living room, Dragon King sat on the sofa, still in a state of regret.

Seeing their Beast Tamer awake, safe and sound, and having even broken through her brain region capacity, Yabao and the others energetically headed to the open-air training field to train.

While eating her meal, Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Tingbao, who was still staying beside her, and asked: "Aren't you going to train?"

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao put on a confused expression and called out.

Are we participating in some tournament next?

"No." Qiao Sang said.

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao called out.

Since we don't need to compete, and we've already formed a contract, why does he still need to train?

Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and said: "It's precisely because we've already formed a contract that you need to train."

She wasn't surprised by Tingbao saying such words. After all, through their time together, she had long known that Tingbao wasn't the type to self-disciplinedly push himself. Fortunately, though, he was obedient.

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao put on a "why" expression.

He didn't quite understand.

"Do you know what my goal is?" Qiao Sang said.

"Lei lei?" Tingbao shook his head.

"Participating in the Interstellar Cup." Qiao Sang said while picking up food with her chopsticks.

As if triggering a keyword, Dragon King looked over, its expression growing even more distressed.

What a fantastic contract target! High talent, matching goals, how could it have failed to seize this opportunity for its species!

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao called out.

What is the Interstellar Cup?

Qiao Sang explained patiently:

"It's the grandest professional Beast Tamer battle competition in the entire interstellar space. Yabao and the others are working so hard right now just to be able to participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future. Now that you've joined us, naturally you have to prepare for the future Interstellar Cup as well."

Dragon King couldn't help calling out: "Mo mo."

The juniors in its species all knew about the Interstellar Cup.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao glanced at Dragon King, then looked at his Beast Tamer and called out to indicate that he understood.

Immediately, he climbed down from the stool to the floor and wriggled his body toward the open-air training field.

As expected, as long as I set up an arrangement for Tingbao, he will execute it... Qiao Sang marveled inwardly, then continued wolfing down her food.

Once she finished taking care of her meal, she returned to her room, leaned back on the bed, and directed her consciousness into the Beast Codex, quickly flipping to the page concerning Tingbao.

---

Qiao Sang scanned the data quickly, feeling both surprised and un-surprised.

After all, through the Contract Synergy Tournament, Tingbao's traits and skills had been pretty much fully figured out.

It was just that she hadn't expected Tingbao to also have the Inner Focus trait, which counted as a pleasant surprise.

As for the skills, their proficiency levels were quite a bit lower than she had imagined. If he had contracted with her earlier, with Tingbao's previous efforts, whether it was Discharge, Leer, or Dragon Tail, the proficiency shouldn't be this low.

Especially Discharge, even without the later training and matches, back when he zapped Teacher Mikayla on the starship, it should have already broken through to the Minor Mastery stage.

With this data, if he didn't have such formidable traits, it would have been impossible to win the championship relying solely on skill proficiency and energy value.

While thinking, Qiao Sang placed her gaze on the Level column. Looking at the data after it, she marveled inwardly once again:

It was often said that Dragon-type pets grew slowly. In the past, she didn't have a particularly concrete concept of it, but looking at this data now, she had to admit it really was slow.

She was currently feeding Tingbao all the best stuff, tree berries she only used to buy occasionally for Yabao were being eaten by Tingbao like casual snacks, not to mention the exclusive energy pills made by teachers at the Imperial Beast University.

Under such resources, Tingbao's level points were still only this much, not even reaching the middle stage of the Beginner level. This growth progress could simply be called outrageously slow.

Fortunately, though, she broke through fast enough, so Tingbao should be entering a rapid growth period next.

The biggest drawback of Dragon-type pets, slow growth progress, would cease to exist under the effect of her golden finger... After envisioning a bright future, Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and exited the Beast Codex.

Early next morning, sunlight shone in through the French windows.

The Excellent Detective Cat walked into the living room, only to see the human girl preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"You you?"

The Excellent Detective Cat froze for a moment, walked up quickly, and called out.

Hearing the noise, Qiao Sang turned her head to look and smiled:

"You're awake. I slept all day yesterday, so I couldn't sleep last night. Having nothing to do this morning, I came over to make breakfast. You don't need to worry about me, I'm almost done."

Having said that, she remembered something, glanced at the sky outside the French window, and said: "Help me call Teacher and Yabao and the others up, just say breakfast is ready."

"You you."

As for still having something to do, the Excellent Detective Cat breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of its heart. It called out and turned to head toward the rooms.

Qiao Sang prepared the breakfast and served it onto the dining table one dish at a time.

Before long, Teacher Mikayla, Yabao, and the others arrived one after another.

"Give it a try, I made all these energy meals today." Qiao Sang said.

"Yap yap!"

Yabao took a bite and called out, giving full emotional value. Then he turned around and started eating energy pills, not taking a single additional bite of the energy meal.

Little Treasure and Qingbao did the exact same thing.

Lubao directly started eating energy pills.

"Gang qiu..."

After eating a bite of the energy meal, Gangbao let out a sigh in her mind.

"Why are you sighing?" Qiao Sang asked in her mind.

Gangbao's body stiffened abruptly, and she called out in her mind: Gang qiu.

Nothing.

Then she cleared her mind of thoughts and ate energy pills.

"Xia xia..."

After taking a bite of the energy meal, Shalala stopped.

"Is it delicious?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xia xia."

Looking at the human in front of it whose eyes were filled with expectation, Shalala nodded against its conscience.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang revealed a smile.

However, in the next second, she saw Tingbao nearby spit out the energy meal he had just eaten in one gulp.

"Lei lei."

Before she could open her mouth to ask, Tingbao put on a disgusted expression and called out.

Not delicious.

Qiao Sang: ...

Just then, Mikayla spoke up: "I plan to go out today. Make your own arrangements."

"Where are you going?" Qiao Sang asked.

Mikayla said: "To do an important matter."

Seeing that Teacher didn't wish to elaborate, Qiao Sang didn't ask further.

Mikayla took a sip of milk and said: "I've already informed the Dean about your brain region breakthrough. The Dean said that once you officially become an A-rank Beast Tamer, she will give you a generous amount of points."

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she asked: "How generous?"

Mikayla glanced at her and said: "That's unknown, but I see you haven't really used your points much. You can go online and check, maybe there's something you need at your current stage."

Qiao Sang nodded: "Understood."

She indeed hadn't checked the points exchange column in quite a while.

After finishing the meal.

Spengami seemed to have known long ago where its Beast Tamer planned to go, its eyes flaring with blue light.

In the next second, Mikayla vanished from the spot.

Remembering Teacher Mikayla's words, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and logged into the official website of the Imperial Beast University.

---

At the same time.

Valley of Flowers.

Mikayla took a breath of fresh air and walked toward the ticket entrance.

She walked through the entrance channel, familiar with the route to the Grand View Garden.

Stopping a Deformed Branch Flower, she scanned the QR code to pay. Then she stepped onto the air to land on the Deformed Branch Flower's head, lay down, and slowly closed her eyes.

Relax, relax...

  2. Feel like Mikayla might be stressing because her student is about to become the master 😂

  3. Mikayla is so funny to me- but I also feel kinda bad for her bc Qiao Sangs standards / methods don’t work for her

    ReplyDelete
  4. Thanks for the chapter! Aww poor Mikayla, hope she can find a breakthrough soon herself. Actually a bit surprised about Tingbao's contract page being so unassuming barring what was already known, somehow expected it to reveal some huge secret about his lineage or something.

  5. Thanks for the chapter. It would be funny if, after a bit of relaxation, Mikayla had a breakthrough—only to then feel disappointed, realizing that for the past few years she hadn’t actually rested at all, and could have had that breakthrough much sooner.

  6. Thanks for the chapter!

    It looks like Little Treasure now has a proper target for if Qiao Sang ever prompts him to train Astonish. Training Tingbao’s Inner Focus and killing two birds with one stone.

    Qiao Sang has met the imperial class’ deadline of becoming A rank before reaching a certain age. It didn’t even take a year. As for reaching S rank before 80? My bets are on by age 30 at absolute latest. And that’s being generous with the timeframe. It’ll likely be a lot earlier.

    Mikayla truly is desperate to break through to SS rank, huh. First the free fall, now attempting to relax.

    The free fall aside (she doesn’t know about her student’s encounter with Adinishi), she knows the relaxation advice came from the Tenth Seat’s direct diagnosis of Qiao Sang’s condition and shouldn’t apply to her. Mikayla’s desperation is clouding her judgement.

    I suppose the next thing to look forward to would be either Tingbao learning some new skills or Qingbao’s upcoming evolution.

    It’d be funny if Tingbao accidentally saw a video of Draco Meteor and became motivated to learn it like Yabao did for Meteor Rain. It’s not gonna happen, their personalities are innately different, but the idea of Yabao being a tutor painted a cute image in my head.

  7. So we already know that one way of growing the brain region capacity is through stressful or scary situations. I feel like QS catching up on Mikayla's rank is going to be the eventual trigger.

    Like, she gets more and more stressed out as QS catches up, wanting to stay ahead, and when QS breaks through to S rank, Mikayla just gives up, lets go of all the stress she built up and breaks through.
