The Experint Was a Success!
Looking at Lubao, who was now full of energy, Qiao Sang felt as if she could hear her own heart pounding.
A typical adult and most pet beasts spend about a third of the day asleep.
Though a beastmaster’s sleep duration shortens as their pet beasts channel energy back to them, allowing them to stay energized throughout the day, it doesn’t an that going without sleep is feasible.
Even if a beastmaster’s brain reaches 70% developnt and attains S-level mastery, they won’t be able to stop sleeping, like so characters in novels who reach a certain level and achieve enlightennt, staying awake all year round.
But now, a single cast of Healing Light has made it possible to pull all-nighters 365 days a year!
The thrill of staying up all night, always having more hours in a day! With Healing Light, there’s no need to worry about losing sleep, looking tired, getting headaches, or thinning hair.
For those who stay up late working or can’t fall asleep at night, it’s like the ultimate godsend!
“Lu.”
Lubao glanced around the room, saw Qiao Sang, and imdiately leapt into her arms. This pulled Qiao Sang back to reality.
Why did you jump up? You’re covered in drool! Qiao Sang silently pulled Lubao away from her a bit.
“Lu.”
Lubao looked at the human who had once checked her health with a lofty expression, completely unaware that her beastmaster was pulling away in mild disgust.
At that mont, Liu Yao stood there, stunned, alternating his gaze between Ice Qiya and Treasure-Seeking Demon, completely losing his usual calm deanor.
“Vice Principal?” Qiao Sang called to him.
Liu Yao snapped out of it, looking at Qiao Sang with a complex expression, feeling envious and a little jealous for the first ti.
Others might not notice, but he could imdiately tell that this Treasure-Seeking Demon was a rare color-variant beast.
Although the distinctive features were subtle, it definitely fell within the rare color-variant category.
Ice Qiya, a rare-color Treasure-Seeking Demon, and a Flas Hound as well… Is this even human? No! This isn’t human at all!
What kind of normal kid has three pet beasts at fifteen?! And all of them are already at interdiate level!
“Vice Principal?” Qiao Sang called again.
“All three of your beasts are at interdiate level.” Liu Yao replied, his voice hoarse.
Actually, most of the school already knew about Treasure-Seeking Ghost's evolution into Treasure-Seeking Demon during yesterday’s sports event.
However, the students’ discussions mostly centered on Treasure-Seeking Demon's ability to break tiles barehanded. Plus, Liu Yao hadn’t been at school during the event, so he hadn’t heard the news right away.
“Yeah.” Qiao Sang nodded.
Liu Yao hesitated, then couldn’t help asking, “How do you usually train your beasts?”
Qiao Sang thought for a mont and replied, “There’s not much ti for training; I’m in class most of the ti, and I have howork when I get ho. It’s mainly up to Yabao and the others to keep at it on their own. For food, they just eat the energy pills customized according to the recipe you provided.”
Liu Yao looked as though he were questioning his whole existence.
After a long mont, he waved his hand, clearly tired. “Go back to class. Don’t forget to go to Training Ground No. 1 after school. Old Xian, take her back.”
Liu Yao didn’t want to look at Qiao Sang anymore, for fear he might have a heart attack.

When the bell rang for the last period in the afternoon, everyone packed up their things and started filing out of the classroom.
A girl with glasses, a fair complexion, and a classic student haircut appeared at the door of Class 1-1.
“Is Qiao Sang here?”
Since receiving her beasts’ energy, Qiao Sang’s hearing had beco much sharper, allowing her to pick up on her na even amidst all the chatter. She looked toward the door and saw a girl she didn’t recognize.
But the girl at the door clearly knew Qiao Sang and waved at her with a smile.
“You’re…?” Qiao Sang asked as she walked over to the doorway after packing up.
“I’m Xu Yixuan from the Senior 3 school team. Teacher Sun sent to get you.” The girl smiled.
So, she’s a senior… Qiao Sang nodded.
“Alright, let’s go.”
On the way, Qiao Sang’s ears took quite a beating. Xu Yixuan looked quiet and well-mannered and spoke in a gentle voice, but she was a complete chatterbox.
From Class 1-1 to Training Ground No. 1, she didn’t close her mouth once.
“Qiao Sang, who nad you? Your dad or your mom?”
“It was my…”
“You don’t need to answer; let guess.”
“…”
“Actually, at the beginning-of-year new student exhibition, I wanted to challenge you, but my sixth sense told not to, so I didn’t.”
“Did you really make a pact with a third pet beast?”
“How did your Treasure-Seeking Demon learn how to break tiles?”
“Is your Fla Hound male or female? My Blaze Dog is male. If yours is the right gender, we could match them up!”
“What’s your third pet beast?”
“Is it true that you’re related to the vice principal?”
“I heard from Teacher Sun that you’re going to participate in the National Beastmaster Tournant for Senior League. That ans we’ll have one more competitor on the Senior 3 combat team. Do you think Teacher Sun might make us compete to decide who gets to stay on the team, with the loser acting as backup? Or maybe the backup for the group battles?”
Qiao Sang thought this was worth addressing, so she said, “I’m not…”
Xu Yixuan interrupted, “You don’t have to answer; let guess.”
Qiao Sang: …
Finally, when she saw the building marked Training Ground No. 1, Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. Freedom at last… This girl’s like a real-life Tang Sanzang…
Qiao Sang opened the door and entered Training Ground No. 1.
The room was dimly lit, and a huge virtual screen, over 20 ters wide, was displaying a popular, high-energy battle ani titled The Last Beastmaster Youth.
The series was known for its stunning animation, lavish production, and thrilling fight scenes. It was the type of show that made people want to jump into a battle themselves.
“This is Teacher Sun’s training thod.” Xu Yixuan explained.
“Every few days, we watch so adrenaline-pumping battle ani to boost our enthusiasm for fighting. I an, we’re fighting constantly, and except during tasks where we can face different opponents, we’re usually just fighting the sa people. If it weren’t for these battle ani to keep us pumped, we’d just be emotionless combat machines by now.”
“You’ll need to ntally prepare yourself; this isn’t like the Sophomore team. We fight every day.”
Qiao Sang grinned, finally saying her first full sentence since leaving the classroom.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Xu Yixuan sighed, thinking that her junior was still too young. Her thoughts mirrored her words as she said, “You’re still too young.”
At that mont, the virtual screen disappeared, and the training ground lights turned on. Sun Boyi stood where the screen had been, smiling as he looked at Qiao Sang.
“Welco to the Senior team.”
