Bond Evolution, insufficient energy… In just an instant, Qiao Sang understood why Gangbao had reverted to Steel Guardian Falcon.
It was bond evolution again…
Qiao Sang was both shocked and deeply moved.
She had thought Gangbao evolved because of the dangerous situation, but hadn’t expected the true cause to be herself…
“Gang Guard…”
Gangbao swayed a bit, clearly low on stamina.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly dismounted.
Lubao was surprised by Gangbao's condition but said nothing. She imdiately cast Healing Light.
Blue light shone over Gangbao's body.
I’d better hurry and summon Yabao back… Seeing Gangbao bathed in healing light, Qiao Sang felt relieved. She then rembered Yabao and was just about to raise her hand.
“Xun xun…”
But the mont she lifted her hand, from the corner of her eye, she saw Little Treasure's mouth slowly open wide, looking increasingly exaggerated.
What did he see? Qiao Sang looked up and froze on the spot.
She stared blankly at the sky, eyes wide with astonishnt at the special effects-like scene unfolding.
Flas filled the sky as if soone had pressed the pause button, frozen midair like a vivid, dazzling painting.
At the sa ti, the surrounding temperature plumted.
Frost descended, and currents of bitter cold surged upward from below, like a frigid force from the arctic. Wherever it passed, the fiery rain turned white with frost, encased in ice.
Then, the frozen flas shattered into fragnts and scattered downward as glowing particles, eerily beautiful.
Everyone who had been fleeing stopped in their tracks, looking up in stunned silence.
This… Their minds went blank.
Including Qiao Sang.
The teor Rain, an ultimate-level move from a general-level pet, was just neutralized like that?
Ama… amazing…
Just then, a deep elderly voice echoed through the area, amplified like through a speaker:
“Beast Taming Departnt, assessnt concluded.”
At the sa ti, virtual panels appeared in front of all the freshn in the Beast Taming Departnt: [End Countdown: 0:00:00]
Qiao Sang suddenly snapped out of it and looked toward the source of the voice.
She saw an elderly man with half-white hair and a deeply wrinkled face, but a surprisingly healthy complexion.
Floating beside him was a beast about 80cm tall, entirely encased in icy blocks, glowing faintly blue, with white markings on its head and a lower body shaped like an icy pillar.
Gilbert Heron, Headmaster of the Beast Taming Academy… Qiao Sang instantly recognized the man as the legendary figure who had lived to 483 years old.
“Yap!”
In the sky, Yabao glared fiercely at the pet with the icy pillar legs, baring his teeth and growling furiously.
The sound imdiately drew Qiao Sang’s attention. She looked up, startled to see Yabao about to attack, and shouted: “Yabao!”
Yabao froze when he heard the familiar voice, then looked down to see his Beast Master.
His eyes lit up, and in the next second, he vanished from the sky.
“Yap Yap!”
Yabao reappeared beside Qiao Sang, lowered his head, and rubbed hard against her affectionately.
“Yap…”
As he rubbed, he suddenly paused, then stepped back with a wronged look.
That had scared him so much just now…
You scared more… Qiao Sang comforted it, “I’m fine.”

On the ground, Gilbert glanced toward the rooftop where the black-haired girl stood, then looked away and turned to leave.
“Lingling.” The pet with icy pillar legs quickly followed him.
Only then did everyone seem to wake up and begin buzzing with excitent.
“I seriously thought I was a goner just now!”
“OMG, Headmaster Gilbert Heron is so cool!”
“That must be Zero Lingling, right?”
“It’s my first ti seeing an emperor-level pet up close!”
“Honestly, when their size shrinks, even emperor-level pets don’t seem so terrifying.”
“Yeah…” The speaker unconsciously looked at the red, elegant-furred pet on the rooftop.
Fire Qilu had returned to its original form, no longer exuding the terrifying pressure from earlier.
Most people’s gazes shifted toward the silhouette on the rooftop, but no one ntioned anything about wanting to teach her a lesson anymore, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Sang recalled Gangbao and Lubao back into the Beast master Codex.
Now she clearly knew Gangbao's next evolution stage and thod, just needed the energy.
She could allocate points directly for Gangbao to evolve, but her Iron Defense hadn’t yet reached the ultimate level, so there was no rush.
Lubao had earned quite a few points through her Ice Flower Seal and earlier attacks, saving several months of work.
This assessnt had been imnsely rewarding.
Qiao Sang, holding Yabao, returned to Beast Taming Class One.
Many students were already seated inside.
She casually found an empty seat and sat down.
The girl beside her stiffened, then silently got up and moved to another seat.
Seriously? Isn’t the assessnt over already… Qiao Sang glanced at her leaving back.
“No way, I’m actually in the sa class as her…”
“That Fire Qilu looks so obedient now…”
“She looked at just now, does she know I’m the one who had Sand King?”
Which one was Sand King again… Qiao Sang perked up her ears, listening to their conversation without changing expression.
At that mont, a woman who looked to be in her 40's, with a round, fair face, appeared out of thin air at the podium.
“Quiet.” Her gaze swept across the students calmly.
No one was surprised at the sudden appearance of a teacher. Everyone obediently fell silent.
“I’m Claudia, and I’ll be your horoom teacher for Class One of the Beast Taming Departnt.”
She continued, her calm gaze suddenly sharpening: “During this assessnt, we instructors watched your performance through surveillance. I’m not pleased.”
Upon hearing this, all students instinctively looked toward the black-haired girl in the back row.
It was reflexive, after all, she was the one responsible for everyone scoring poorly.
“Yap!”
Yabao sensed the stares and imdiately rembered the earlier group attack. He bared his teeth again with a fierce expression.
Everyone shuddered as they recalled Fire Qilu’s earlier power and quickly looked away.
Qiao Sang quickly stroked Yabao’s fur.
“Yap…”
Yabao gradually cald down, showing a pleased expression.
Claudia’s gaze rested on Qiao Sang, eyes showing a hint of admiration. She then said: “But one student’s performance far exceeded my expectations, and that is Qiao Sang.”
Getting praised on the first day of school, feels like it’s been forever since that happened… Qiao Sang quietly straightened her back.
The others imdiately started whispering again: “So her na is Qiao Sang.”
“Why does that na sound familiar?”
Then soone suddenly exclaid, “She’s the one who moved into the Special Zone on the first day!”
Qiao Sang: ???
