Su Fang suddenly became curious.
"It just made the list today? I know him?"
Su Fang denied it first.
"No, I know all the more famous beastmasters in South China. Those who should have rushed to the top have already done so. There is no one who has not yet made the list. So they must be juniors or sophomores, those who I am not very familiar with." Su Fang touched Bing Yuan who swam to her side and analyzed seriously.
"No." The junior high school girl shook her head again.
Su Fang: “?”
"He's a freshman."
Su Fang: “!”
Su Fang's expression gradually changed from reasoning to shock, and then to disbelief: "Freshman?"
The junior high school girl nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"...Don't joke with me." Su Fang still couldn't believe it: "Can a freshman be so strong?"
Thinking back to her freshman year, she had already contracted two pets, and it just so happened that the ranking list was released, so she barely made it to the bottom of the list.
Tell her now that someone can suddenly become the first?
Su Fang's first reaction: It's fake, this must be a lie! "Oh! Senior Su Fang, why would I lie to you!" The junior sister glared at Su Fang coquettishly: "He's just a freshman! Senior sister, you know him!"
Su Fang pushed back her long wavy hair, her face full of confusion.
"Know him? I know him? How can I know a freshman?"
The three consecutive questions deeply conveyed Su Fang's confusion.
"From our school?"
As soon as Su Fang said this, he shook his head and denied it.
No no no.
impossible.
If their school had such a promising talent in the freshman year, it would have been publicized long ago. Even if Su Fang didn't often inquire about what was happening in the outside world, he would have heard some news more or less.
However.
No impression at all.
Not at all.
"Don't keep us in suspense, just tell me." Su Fang glanced at his junior schoolmate who had a shocked expression but also a bit of a look of anticipation.
The two have been together for more than a year. Su Fang knows his junior's personality of liking to watch the fun. This little girl must be trying to make something big happen.
"Qiao Bai!" The junior high school girl chuckled and did not hide it any more. She said the name with excitement in her voice.
Su Fang: “?”
Su Fang was stunned for a second, then finally reacted.
Qiao Bai.
She knew him.
Freshman.
Just ask, how many people can match all the above information?
Su Fang's mind immediately flashed back to the most popular news of the past few days - Mr. Huo's Alt Dragon successfully evolved into the next Dragon King after challenging three Dragon Kings! Actually, it was...
Su Fang glanced at Bing Yuan who was still spinning in circles and stepping on the water beside her.
"Qiao Bai... He is so talented in combat, and there is a hint of rationality in his absurdity." Su Fang rubbed his forehead and said with a complicated expression, "But it is still a bit absurd to be ranked first out of nowhere."
Not a little bit.
Very.
The junior schoolmate beside him also nodded frantically: "Senior Su Fang, you don't know, he is not just the number one on the space list, he first landed at the 8th place, and then jumped to the number one place!"
Because my junior high school sister happened to be at the venue at that time and saw the flashing picture of the list with her own eyes, I felt particularly involved when describing it.
Is this something a normal person can do?
oh.
The person who was able to evolve Altair into the Dragon King doesn't seem to be an ordinary person.
Su Fang took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset: "It's okay, as long as Fan Dongyang doesn't surpass me. That guy... Tsk."
As Su Fang was talking, he didn't want to say anything anymore.
In short, if she had to choose between Qiao Bai and Fan Dongyang, Su Fang would rather let Qiao Bai stand above her.
So what if I was outclassed by a freshman? It was better than being outclassed by a swordsman!
"What is Qiao Bai's combat power?" Su Fang, who had adjusted his mood, became more curious.
“More than 110,000.”
Su Fang: “?”
Su Fang, who had worked very hard to cultivate four pets and had just barely reached the 100,000 threshold, had a completely blank mind.
…
Nanfeng University.
"Brother Fan, you've been pushed down to third place!"
The young man, who looked ordinary, unremarkable, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, dressed in a popular style and wore a pair of glasses, and who would be invisible if thrown into a crowd, looked up at the person who came and a question mark appeared on his face when he heard the words.
"Third place?"
"Did anyone come up?"
Fan Dongyang blinked his eyes and said, "Well... I know all the famous beast masters in the third and fourth years of the Southern China region, and I have a rough idea of their strength."
"Did Cai Yan contract a new pet? I remember she said last time that she had taken a fancy to a spring snow pigeon. But even if she contracts it, it's unlikely that she will rush over to me. It takes time to cultivate it."
"So Ren Hong's Lark Hound has evolved? That's not right. He probably still hasn't collected a few resources, such as the Thousand Poison Grass, Star Dust, and Dragon Scale Fragments. Collecting these resources is more difficult than expected."
Fan Dongyang counted the people who might rush over to him one by one, and then rejected them one by one with reasons and evidence.
The younger brother who came to tip off: "..."
Once again, they deeply realized that their eldest brother was probably not a good person.
"Brother Fan, you..." The younger brother was interrupted by Fan Dongyang before he could finish his words.
Fan Dongyang: "It is reasonable to speculate that no one can surpass me."
From sophomore to senior year, Fan Dongyang, who had some ability, counted them all.
This is impossible.
The next one is impossible.
So what is going on?
Fan Dongyang was puzzled.
"Uh..." Beads of sweat slid down his forehead. He used two fingers to make a small gesture: "Is it possible that this person is a freshman and you don't know him that well, Brother Fan?"
Fan Dongyang: “?”
A big question mark appeared over Fan Dongyang's head again.
"Freshman, freshman." Fan Dongyang looked at his younger brother and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"There are only a few famous freshmen in the South China region. Even Shi Xiaoxiao, who ranked first on the freshman list, is only at the bottom of the battle strength list. If it were someone from the central region, maybe their performance would be slightly better."
Fan Dongyang didn't believe it.
"Qiao Bai, Brother Fan, that person is Qiao Bai!" Seeing that his elder brother was about to get stuck in a rut, the younger brother quickly revealed Qiao Bai's identity: "He rushed directly to the top of the list, squeezing out that guy named Su and you, Brother Fan!"
Fan Dongyang: “…”
You wouldn't know until you heard it, but as soon as Fan Dongyang heard it, he immediately matched the name with the real person.
Qiao Bai.
He is considered to be a pet professor whom he pays close attention to.
Yes.
Fan Dongyang did not classify Qiao Bai as a college student because Qiao Bai's achievements had far exceeded those of ordinary college students.
"...Blue Bird University hasn't let him graduate directly yet?" Fan Dongyang's face was filled with confusion: "Based on Qiao Bai's research results, it's more than enough for him to become a lecturer at Blue Bird University!"
"hateful!"
"There is absolutely no way my reasoning could be wrong!"
Fan Dongyang became angrier as he spoke.
The younger brother at the side said: "Well... After all, Qiao Bai has just enrolled in school. Even if the higher-ups have any actions or arrangements for him, it can't be that fast."
The more Fan Dongyang thought about it, the angrier he got. But after he became angry to an extreme, he calmed down again: "What is Qiao Bai's combat power and what pets he has? Tell me his data."
"Combat power 118690." Knowing Fan Dongyang's habits, the younger brother had already written down Qiao Bai's specific combat power clearly: "The pets are Golden Crow and Cat Dragon. The Golden Crow is suspected to be a new evolution of a mutated Hua Bird, and the Cat Dragon may be a new species of dragon-attributed pet."
"Golden Crow's strength should be around the fifth intermediate level, and Cat Dragon's strength is between the fourth intermediate level and the fourth advanced level."
After hearing this, Fan Dongyang was silent for a moment.
"Just two pets?"
The younger brother nodded: "Just two."
"The combat power of the two pets exceeded 110,000? How did Qiao Bai do it?" Fan Dongyang's originally calm expression became full of doubts again.
Can't understand.
Unimaginable.
This was completely beyond his normal cognition.
Whether it is a fourth-level pet or a fifth-level pet, he has it.
As a data maniac, Fan Dongyang collected a lot of information on beastmasters from various universities except the top two in Star City, and he had a very good idea of the strength of the beasts of these beastmasters.
The minimum combat power of an ordinary fifth-level pet is about 10,000, and the strongest known combat power should be around 50,000. But whether it is Fan Dongyang or Su Fang, the combat power of their fifth-level pets is only around 40,000.
Then there is the combat power of the fourth-level pet, which is guaranteed to be 4,000, but if you try hard, the stronger ones can reach about 15,000, and if they are even stronger, they can break through to the fifth level.
The four pets of Su Fang and Fan Dongyang are already at an excellent level within this value. The combined combat power of the two people's pets has reached 80,000/90,000, and it can reach 100,000 with a little effort.
But I didn't expect it.
Qiao Bai and his two pets easily broke through the 110,000 mark.
"Is there any vacation recently? I want to go to Blue Bird University. I can't sleep unless I figure out what's going on." Fan Dongyang pushed his glasses and said with a faint look in his eyes.
Not to mention the future, he is now in a very excited state, his whole body is itching, and he can't wait to find out the truth.
Younger brother: “…”
"Brother Fan, don't think about it. You haven't finished your graduation thesis yet. Your class teacher said that if you can't hand in the first draft within a month, you will be expelled from school."
"It's not impossible to repeat a grade."
This time it was Fan Dongyang's turn to feel depressed.
Okay okay.
The more you want to explore a mystery, the more you should leave it to the end. There is no use in being anxious, you can only take it slow.
Take your time.
…
Qiao Bai didn't know yet that he had been noticed by the big brothers and sisters who had once been number one and number two on the list, but it didn't matter. After all, after becoming the new number one, he would have to face everyone's gaze and discussion.
In just a few hours, the relevant forums were filled with topics related to Qiao Bai.
no?
Isn't Qiao Bai a pet professor? Why is Qiao Bai so good at taming pets? What's the story behind Qiao Bai's two pets?
Does anyone know that Qiao Bai actually has a third pet?
When you enter the forum, nine out of ten posts are discussing Qiao Bai, and the only spam post that doesn't discuss Qiao Bai eventually turns to Qiao Bai.
"Stop talking, stop talking. Can I say that I just bought a copy of "Hua Xia Chao Fan" that published a big shot's paper today? The last second I was still studying the content to see if there was anything I could learn from it. Maybe I will be the next Dragon King Beast Tamer. Then the next second I saw the author of the paper was listed. Me:?"
"This is so funny! I'm a senior and I haven't written my graduation thesis yet. My instructor has used Qiao Bai to encourage us more than once. I used to be dismissive, but after reading Qiao Bai's thesis, I just want to say - Dad, help him, help him!"
"It has been proven that Qiao Bai is very capable in pet research. Who would have thought that the evolution method inherited by Alt Dragon is so tricky? If it weren't for Qiao Bai, neither Mr. Huo nor Alt Dragon would have gotten away with it! Really, who in their right mind would have thought of suppressing the instincts in their blood by challenging the Dragon King at a higher level? I don't know if they would have thought that they were sending them to their deaths!"
"That's true. Anyway, if someone asked me to challenge the Dragon King without any precedent... well, let me run ahead."
"Wait, are you guys getting off topic?"
"That's not off track. When discussing Qiao Bai's strength as a beastmaster, we obviously can't ignore Qiao Bai's other talents!"
"There are some things I'm really tired of saying. Damn it - God, why is there such an existence in the world that makes people feel suffocated in every aspect! I don't ask to be as successful as Qiao Bai, but if I can give me a little relevant talent?"
“Haha, God said you are not Qiao Bai so it’s not possible.”
"grass."
…
Star City.
The Beast Taming Alliance Headquarters.
In the medium-sized conference room on the 18th floor.
Three gray-haired elderly people, two men and one woman, were making the final discussion and confirmation of the list.
“No matter from which perspective, this award should be given to Qiao Bai, otherwise we will definitely be accused of shady dealings.” The grandmother, with silver hair, is no longer young but has her hair combed neatly. She also has a small and exquisite rouge red double-petal peony flower jewelry pinned on her ear as a decoration. Her clear eyes swept over the other two companions.
"What do you think? Make a decision quickly and don't drag it out. I have an appointment to go dancing with someone tonight."
The other two people: "..."
"Hmph! It's disgraceful for you to still dance at your age!" The square-faced old man, with wrinkles all over his face, snorted heavily from his nose and said unhappily.
"Old Ding, stop being jealous. If you were the one dancing with Xiaohua, you would have been grinning from ear to ear." Another old man with a bald head but a beautiful white beard said cheerfully.
Then the bald old man with a long beard looked at Hua Zhong and said, "Actually, I am more optimistic about Qiao Bai, but isn't he a little too young? It would be better to think about it again and see if there are other suitable candidates."
"Sang Yuan, you old man, you're always trying to smooth things over!" Old Ding let out a heavy breath and said unhappily, "Don't keep whining and pretending to be a good guy. You just don't think highly of Qiao Bai. Is there any need to be so roundabout?"
"Learn from me and speak frankly. There is nothing wrong with his other achievements, but his greatest achievement right now, the evolution of Altair into a Dragon King, has no clear data to prove that it is real."
"Based on this premise, we must be careful in deciding on the candidate." Old Ding clicked his tongue: "What I am most calm about is..."
"His achievements don't match his personality. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on." Hua Zhong shook the paper information about Qiao Bai in his hand and said calmly.
The other two men stopped talking.
That's what's happening.
Qiao Bai's achievements are outstanding, really too outstanding.
Especially among a group of pet professors who have only been in the industry for a few years, Qiao Bai instantly became the brightest star in the crowd, and it was impossible not to notice him.
But the problem is that this achievement is too impressive.
It's so dazzling that one can't help but doubt it.
Except for Hua Zhong, the other two people had some doubts in their hearts. Sang Yuan touched his beard and said tentatively: "In fact, Qiao Bai is still young. If he really has such talent, it won't be too late to wait another year to win the award, right?"
"As for this year's awards..." Sang Yuan looked at other people's achievements and resumes, his expression a little ugly.
Uh...except Qiao Bai, there is no one else among so many people who can show off his talents!
Sang Yuan couldn't help but complain quietly in his heart.
Disaster.
It is really difficult to do this audit work.
Old Ding, who always confronted Sang Yuan, instantly saw his old rival's dilemma from his expression.
It should have been a happy thing to see an old rival in trouble.
The premise is that he is not also troubled by this matter.
The expressions of the two people looked at each other.
Hua Zhong, with his gray hair, was laughing so hard that the peony petals on his head were shaking. It was obvious that he was really happy.
"As the pet teaching industry has become more professional and rigorous over the years, the number of geniuses has been decreasing."
"I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that Qiao Bai is another Abi Gu. But can Qiao Bai's situation be the same as Abi Gu's? They are completely different!"
As he spoke, Hua Zhong rolled his eyes at the two people across the table, filled with disdain.
Old Dingtou and Sang Yuan: "..."
Cough cough.
This is indeed the case, but...
"Let's not talk about the fact that Qiao Bai is one of our own. Qiao Bai's past and experiences are all well documented."
"Qiao Bai is an orphan. Before he awakened his talent as a beastmaster, he could hardly get enough food. Naturally, he had no chance to access information related to the pet evolution profession. But he is talented in this area. He is a genius. He just lacks an opportunity."
"After accidentally discovering the new evolutionary route of the honey bug, he naturally became more interested in this aspect, and it was natural for him to rush forward and transform into a dragon when he encountered wind and clouds. Is there a problem?"
Hua Zhong spread his hands and said, "I think it's okay."
Sang Yuan and Lao Dingtou still looked a little conflicted: "That's what I said, but..."
They just felt it was a little early.
It wouldn't be too late to wait another year to give the award to Qiao Bai, right?
The two people who had originally been at odds with each other looked at each other and saw similar thoughts in each other's eyes.
Then……
Yue was disgusted! I didn't expect that I could be in tune with my mortal enemy!
Hua Chong was once again amused by these two old guys.
"Okay, there are two of you after all. There's nothing I can do if you both have the same idea." Hua Zhong smacked her lips and said calmly, as if the person who had just argued was not her.
"But I want to remind you of one thing." Hua Zhong raised his eyebrows and glanced at his phone: "I just received news that the list of university beastmasters in South China has been opened."
"It's been opened for a month or two, why are you bringing it up now?" Sang Yuan stroked his beard, a puzzled expression on his face.
"South China is not the front line of the beast tide, and the beast masters trained there are just so-so, all show-offs, without any fierceness." Old Ding curled his lips, looking disdainful: "The only beast masters who can really show off are those at the top of the battle power list."
"Don't be too harsh on others. Beastmasters trained in different regions are inherently different. At least the academic atmosphere in South China is very strong." Hua Chong was speechless about these two people.
Seeing that her topic was about to be led off track, Hua Zhong quickly pulled the topic back: "Really, the topic was led off by you two old guys. I almost forgot what I was going to say."
"I just received news that Qiao Bai landed at the top of the combat power list this afternoon."
Sang Yuan: “?”
Old Dingtou: “?”
Small head, big question mark.
"Qiao Bai? Which Qiao Bai?" Sang Yuan's tone and eyes were filled with deep doubt.
Although Old Ding didn't say anything, the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes conveyed almost the same meaning.
"Which other Qiao Bai?" Hua Zhong said with a smile. She pointed to the information on the desk and said, "Of course it's this Qiao Bai."
Sang Yuan, who was stroking his long white beard, accidentally pulled out several hairs due to a trembling hand when he heard this.
Sang Yuan, who usually cared most about his beard, didn't care about that at this moment: "Is this true? Aren't they two people with the same name and surname?"
"Qiao Bai, a freshman at Blue Bird University, with two pets, Jinwu and Maomaolong. Find me a Qiao Bai with the same name."
Sang Yuan: “…”
Not found.
The information was so detailed that it matched the school's. What else was there to question? "This... this is really..." Sang Yuan grunted for a long time, his face changed several times, and in the end he couldn't think of a good adjective. He sighed and said, "Talent... This can only be said to be a talent that is difficult to replicate!"
