Teacher Mikaela is still as efficient as ever... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said:

"Okay, wait a moment."

Pack up your things, wake up Yabao and the others, have breakfast, and hand in your room card.

When everything was done, Peng Jiamei's eyes glowed blue.

After three transfers, Qiao Sang arrived at a villa covered with plants.

The sunlight above my head was particularly dazzling, but I didn’t feel particularly hot all over.

"Qingqing?"

Xia Lala looked at the oasis around her, her eyes lit up and she cried out.

"Pen-Pen." Peng Jiamei nodded.

“Qingqing!”

Xia Lala floated happily into the villa.

It’s not easy to find such a place in Tanzania in such a short time... Qiao Sang felt admiration for Teacher Mikaela and walked inside with Yabao and the others.

Once you enter, you feel like you are in the depths of a tropical rainforest. Plants cling to the walls, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment. Occasionally, one or two small insect pets crawl by. The roof is dotted with hanging green ivy, and every corner exudes a strong natural atmosphere.

A fresh air blew in my face, a mixture of the fragrance of earth and the scent of grass and trees.

If he had not known in advance that this place was located in Tanzania, Qiao Sang would never have associated this villa with the geographical location of Tanzania.

There is a balcony on the second floor of the house, and you can see the whole yard when you walk out.

Qiao Sang looked up from below and through the balcony on the second floor, vaguely saw several figures passing by.

She was stunned for a moment, then took Yabao and the others into the villa hall.

In the hall, several pets were seen carrying large and small bags of things and walking out, while several other pets were cleaning.

Huh? Why so many pets? Could Teacher Mikaela have hired so many pets to manage the villa? That's not right. They look like they're just moving things. Besides, I'm about to participate in the Masters Challenge. Teacher wouldn't just hire some pets to work there. After all, in large-scale competitions like this, there have been cases of people bribing their opponents' families to gain intelligence. Qiao Sang looked at the scene in the living room, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind uncontrollably.

"Puff."

Just as I was thinking about it, Peng Jiamei called out, saying that Michaela was on the second floor and I could go up to find her.

Qiao Sang said "OK" and went to the second floor.

She glanced around as usual and found that there were still several pets cleaning up in almost every room. The figures she had seen through the second-floor balcony were these pets.

Qiao Sang pricked up his ears and followed the noise coming from inside the room to a room at the end of the corridor.

Before I even knocked on the door, I heard Teacher Mikaela's voice from inside:

"Come in."

Qiao Sang pushed the door open and walked in, and found Teacher Mikaela sitting at the desk, flipping through something and operating her mobile phone, looking very busy.

"What are you doing?"

"Transfer money."

"Transfer money?" Qiao Sang asked in a puzzled tone.

"This was originally a shared rental villa. I asked all 46 pets here to move out, so I'm transferring money to them one by one." Michaela explained.

No wonder there were so many pets... Qiao Sang's tone was slightly shocked: "You asked all 46 pets to move out? How did they agree to this?"

"They'll agree if you give them three times the money," Michaela said calmly.

"Grind."

The Dragon King suddenly shouted on the sofa, indicating that there were actually a few little guys who disagreed, but they agreed as soon as he appeared.

Qiao Sang thought back to the pets he had just seen, and thought that those were all low- and medium-level pets, or at most high-level pets. If you, a royal-level pet, showed up, you wouldn't have to do anything. Just a little bit of your aura would make them agree, wouldn't they?

"Why did you find a shared villa?" Qiao Sang asked. "It would be so troublesome to communicate with so many pets and get them all to move out."

As Mikaela was transferring the money, she said, "I've already contacted many real estate agents, but there are basically no villas that are suitable for Xia Lala's living conditions. Even if there are, they are other people's homes."

"It's not that we can't buy one, but considering the time of the competition, we will only be here for a few months at most, so buying a house directly is not cost-effective."

"This area is surrounded by green oases, and the pets that live here are basically here for fun and short-term rentals, so renting this place is the most suitable and convenient."

"Although it's a bit far from the Masters Challenge venue, it's very private. It's the only residence within a thousand miles, so you can train freely. If anyone or a pet approaches, you'll be able to spot them immediately."

What a thoughtful consideration... Qiao Sang felt inwardly.

The long distance is not a problem for the little treasure hunter who has space to move.

"By the way, have you officially registered?" Michaela asked, thinking of something.

"It's been reported." Qiao Sang said, "It's still under preliminary review."

While having dinner last night, she signed up online.

The registration process for the Masters Challenge is divided into preliminary review and re-review.

The preliminary review is to submit information and exclude participants who do not meet the registration requirements.

After passing the initial review, the qualified contestants will be required to go to the site to confirm that they have registered themselves and will not be absent during the competition time. Only then will they pass the review.

"Do you need me to help you collect information about your opponent?" asked Michaela.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"need."

Teacher Mikaela had never asked this question when she participated in any competition in the past. But now that he asked it, it meant that this competition was worth investigating the opponent's information.

"Okay," Mikaela said, "After the review is over and the list of all contestants is finalized, I'll give you their information."

After saying that, she put down her phone, looked up and said seriously:

"The dean already knows that you've become an A-rank professional beastmaster and will be participating in the Master Challenge. She said that if you can place in the top three in this Master Challenge, you'll be awarded 200,000 points and will personally help you choose a pet that satisfies you, capped at the Venerable level."

200,000 points?! A pet with a maximum of Venerable level?! Qiao Sang's eyes widened instantly, and she was almost so excited that she wanted to go up and shake Teacher Mikaela's body, but she restrained herself and said in a surprised tone:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Michaela smiled.

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "But I guess the dean only offered this reward because he saw that you couldn't do it."

"Even though she thinks you can't do it, I think you can." Michaela said seriously.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then felt a little moved. He asked, "If the dean thinks I can't do it, then why did he mention this reward?"

"Because you're the youngest A-Class professional Beast Tamer in history," Mikaela said slowly. "Having just become an A-Class professional Beast Tamer, and now you're competing in a competition where top A-Class Beast Tamers gather, it's natural for her to have low hopes for you. However, she doesn't want you to feel the same way. She wants you to give it your all, so she created this reward."

"On the other hand, it's also a recognition of your achievement as an A-rank professional beastmaster at such a young age."

"The dean thinks a lot..." Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, I was so carried away by the reward earlier, but now that I think about it, getting into the top three is indeed a bit difficult...

Should she be thankful that the dean didn't mention winning the championship before giving her these awards...

Mikaela continued, "We have students in the Imperial Class who won the Master Challenge before, but they were only awarded 100,000 points, not 200,000. There was no upper limit to the number of Honor-level pets they could choose from."

"Do you get me?"

Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikaela: "You want me to seize this opportunity."

"Yes." Mikaela nodded slightly. "The school treats the Imperial Class well, but such generous rewards are rare. I hope you can take this competition seriously."

She knew that Qiao Sang's purpose in participating in the Masters Challenge was to win the championship and obtain the Sun Crystal. If he saw no hope of winning after participating in the competition, there was a certain chance that he would become more relaxed about the competition.

Although it is a good thing to keep a calm mind during the competition, in top competitions, being too calm means being lax, which is not necessarily a good thing.

The chances of winning the championship are slim, but she feels that Qiao Sang has a chance of being in the top three.

The dean only knew that Qiao Sang had an extremely high talent for taming beasts, but he had never seen her fight. He didn't know that her talent in fighting was also ridiculously high. Even at this level, she was making obvious progress every day.

"Even if you don't tell me, I will compete seriously." Qiao Sang said seriously.

This competition will be broadcast live on StarCraft, and she has even notified her mother to watch it, so of course she has to take it seriously.

"That's good." Michaela smiled.

She picked up her phone again, but quickly put it down again as she thought of something. She said, "You've become an A-level professional beastmaster this time, and the dean has rewarded you with 100,000 points. You should receive it today."

How much? One hundred thousand? Qiao Sang was surprised: "So much!"

The dean is really generous. If he was just talking big before, then the 100,000 points now are real.

Qiao Sang couldn't wait to take out his cell phone and check it.

"No other student in the Imperial Class has this many, but your situation is special. You've broken the record for the youngest A-level professional Beast Tamer in history, so you're being given a special reward." Mikaela smiled. "There are so many B-level Beast Tamers, there's no telling how many there are in the entire galaxy. Even if you're the youngest, if you don't achieve anything else, this title will quickly fade into obscurity. If you participate in a competition, only people on your own planet will know about it."

"A-rank professional beastmasters are different. They can participate in interstellar competitions, just like the Master Challenge you're about to participate in."

"By then, everyone in the galaxy will know that you are the youngest A-level professional beastmaster in history, which will bring honor to our school."

"The Dean gave you points so quickly, probably hoping you could quickly improve your strength during this period so you have a better chance of winning the Masters Challenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Sang also saw the extra 100,000 points on his campus official website account.

It really arrived! She put down her phone and said seriously:

"I will definitely live up to the Dean's and your expectations!"

…

It took the entire morning for the pets that originally lived in the villa to pack up their things and leave one after another.

In the room on the second floor, Xiao Xunbao took out daily necessities from the ring one by one.

Qiao Sang was sorting things aside.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

She picked up the phone on the table and opened the newly sent message:

Dear Beastmaster Qiao Sang, we are pleased to inform you that you have passed the preliminary review for this year's Master Challenge Cup. We are honored to have you sign up for our competition. Please come to the Beastmaster Alliance Tanzania branch within one week for an on-site review.

The review is actually being held at the Beast Taming Alliance branch... The level of this competition is indeed very high... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, put down his phone, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said:

"Take out the King Energy Potion and drink it first."

"Xunxun~"

When Xiao Xunbao heard this, his eyes lit up and he put his head into the ring.

After a while, he took out a bottle of Wang Neng potion and poured it all into his mouth.

"Xunxun?"

Little Xunbao smacked his lips and cried out.

Is it already in the late king level now?

Qiao Sang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It takes time to digest and absorb it."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao nodded and continued his previous actions, taking daily necessities out of the ring.

At this time, Lubao passed by with the water tank wrapped around its tail.

The sunlight shines in from outside and falls on its body. The scales on its body shine brightly, making it look particularly beautiful.

Little Xunbao popped his head out of the ring and saw this scene.

It was stunned for a moment, then looked at its own beastmaster with a serious expression and called out:

"Xunxun!"

It feels that it is still necessary to buy some facial masks.

Qiao Sang had just earned 100,000 points early in the morning and was in a good mood. He said, "Okay, I'll buy you a few boxes when I get out."

"Xunxun?"

Little Xunbao suddenly showed a happy expression and shouted.

When will you go out?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "In the afternoon."

She had passed the initial review and was planning to go for the review in the afternoon.

…

2:30 in the afternoon.

The Tan Kingdom branch of the Beast Taming Alliance.

"Have you heard? This morning, when the Audit Department was reviewing the registration information for the Masters Challenge, they discovered an 18-year-old A-rank Beast Tamer."

"Huh? 18? You're kidding. I'd barely believe you if you said you were 48."

"Really, you know, I know someone in the audit department."

"Just take that kind of talk for granted. They're definitely joking. Even if someone has been meditating since the womb, they can't become an A-rank Beast Tamer by the age of 18."

"What you said makes sense. I also think it's outrageous..."

Two staff members were chatting.

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded beside him:

"Hello, where is the audit department?"

The two staff members turned around and saw a girl with a delicate face who looked to be only in her teens, and a pet with golden-red fur all over its body.

"On the seventeenth floor." One of the staff members replied.

"Thank you." Qiao Sang turned around and walked towards the elevator with Yabao.

"The age matches, and he went to the review department. Could he be the 18-year-old A-rank Beast Tamer they mentioned?"

"What are you thinking? If there really is a beastmaster at this age, I'll eat shit."

I advise you to take back what you said... Qiao Sang listened to the conversation, pressed the elevator button and stepped in.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a white hand appeared and stopped the elevator door from closing.

The elevator doors reopened.

A woman with long red curly hair, three-dimensional features, and who looked to be in her twenties walked in.

The elevator door closed and slowly moved upwards.

The woman didn't press the floor button immediately. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she smiled:

"Josan?"

"Who are you?" Qiao Sang asked doubtfully.

"Xia Huo, don't you remember me? Oh, I almost forgot, I've never seen you in your true form." (End of this chapter)
