Chapter 36: Who Could Fail?

Breeder.

A miraculous profession that can supposedly determine how long a pet beast hasn't defecated by the frequency of its calls.

As long as one becomes a breeder, even at the F level, just by being registered with a breeder's association in a certain area, a substantial amount of breeding funds will be credited to their personal account every year.

Truly achieving the goal of earning money while lying down.

If one out of a hundred beast masters might be a breeder, then out of ten thousand breeders, it's rare to find even one A-level breeder.

Jiaosang's eyes lit up; this was the first time she had encountered an A-level breeder.

"Vice Principal, hello." After greeting, Jiaosang turned Firefang's head towards Liu Yao. "Firefang, come, say hello to the Vice Principal."

"Fire."

Firefang called out very politely.

Liu Yao's eyes twinkled with amusement, but before he could speak, Jiaosang curiously asked, "Vice Principal, do you know how long it's been since my Firefang last went to the bathroom?"

Liu Yao: "……"

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Zheng Guoping couldn't help but laugh, but he finally stopped under Liu Yao's gaze.

The idea that breeders can determine how long a pet beast hasn't defecated by the frequency of its calls is a recent internet meme.

A third male guest on a dating show was a breeder. Due to his introverted personality, unremarkable appearance, and an unpopular ghost-type pet beast, he was sidelined and not chosen by any female guests for eight days straight.

However, on the ninth day, the second female guest's Deerhorn became severely abdominal pain after eating the first male guest's nutritional meal, and it kept screaming.

When everyone was blaming the first male guest, the third male guest, who had been relatively unnoticed, spoke up.

"It's because it hasn't gone to the bathroom for over 20 days, causing a blockage. Feeding it a Smooth Fruit will fix it."

The second female guest was stunned because her Deerhorn indeed hadn't had a bowel movement for 23 days.

After Deerhorn ate the Smooth Fruit and finally went to the bathroom, it was lively again.

When the second female guest asked how he knew the exact time, the third male guest replied by the frequency of the calls.

This answer stunned everyone. Could this really be heard?

The third male guest instantly became the most sought-after male guest, surrounded by female guests every day to listen to their pet beasts' calls.

As a typical researcher, Liu Yao had never watched any dating shows.

He looked at Firefang and said helplessly, "I don't know."

Liu Yao, the old scholar, didn't know this meme, but Zheng Guoping had watched the dating show with his wife.

This wasn't about hearing the frequency of the calls; it was clearly the third male guest's ghost-type pet beast sneaking into the girls' room to eavesdrop on their conversations.

Jiaosang had only heard the meme and hadn't watched the dating show, so she thought it was real. She was a bit disappointed but didn't show it, asking another question: "What would be the effect if Firefang took those half-month baths?"

Liu Yao explained, "If I'm not mistaken, Firefang is currently in a state close to a critical point, similar to the precursor of a skill awakening. It's likely a speed-related skill. Vigor Grass and Heat Powder are materials that can activate fire energy. A half-month bath might help it break through this critical point early."

Jiaosang was shocked. In just a few days, Firefang had already learned two skills: Spark and Shadow Clone.

Another one now?!

This must be a genius Firefang!

Jiaosang looked excitedly at Firefang and said, "Come, Firefang, thank the Vice Principal."

Guidance from an A-level breeder isn't something just anyone can receive.

"Fire!"

Firefang called out decisively.

Although it didn't understand what a critical point, Vigor Grass, or precursor meant, it knew it was right to thank its beast master.

"Earrrr!!!"

Liu Yao was about to say something when a sudden, hysterical wail came from the Long-Eared Cat.

Jiaosang was startled.

Turning around, she saw the Long-Eared Cat curled up, its front paws covering its face, tears streaming down its cheeks, looking extremely distressed.

Firefang also noticed the Long-Eared Cat's state.

Did it cry because of me?!

At this moment, Jiaosang and Firefang had the same thought.

Jiaosang felt a bit guilty. She went to Zheng Yining and asked weakly, "What's wrong with the Long-Eared Cat?"

Zheng Yining turned to her and smiled bitterly, "It has a bit of a cleanliness obsession. When it woke up and found itself licked by Tongue, it reacted like this."

Jiaosang: "……"

She could understand!

Firefang sighed in relief; it wasn't its fault.

"Teacher, the Long-Eared Cat is in this state, it might not be able to participate in the next battle," Zheng Yining said to Sun Boyi.

"Do you want to forfeit?" Sun Boyi asked.

"I want to forfeit," Zheng Yining replied.

She was already one of the five special admission candidates, so there was no need to continue the competition. With Jiaosang around, she wouldn't win first place anyway, and she didn't think Jiaosang would lose to Li Yang.

"Alright," Sun Boyi nodded in agreement. "Then the final match will be between Jiaosang and Li Yang."

Li Yang: "……"

He also wanted to forfeit. The goal of getting into the top three in this special admission was already achieved. This girl, Jiaosang, and her Firefang were too fierce; even Lu Liangye wasn't a match for her. He felt he couldn't win, but giving up without a fight seemed too cowardly……

……

Li Yang's pet beast was a Short-Tailed Snake, with a venomous needle tail, venomous teeth, and venomous blood.

Jiaosang made a quick judgment and had a strategy in mind.

The battle began—

Firefang immediately split into two, running in circles around the Short-Tailed Snake at a distance of about five meters. Soon, it looked like a blur.

As the blur formed, sparks kept shooting out.

The Short-Tailed Snake's vision was confused by the constant movement of the two Firefangs. In a moment of dizziness, it was hit by several flames and was cleanly and swiftly defeated without moving.

Li Yang was extremely regretful. If he had known the result would be so惨, he should have found an excuse to forfeit!

This wasn't the level of a novice beast master; even high school students in the Beast Master Academy wouldn't be much better!

Lu Liangye watched with satisfaction; in comparison, he didn't seem so bad.

"Jiaosang wins."

Sun Boyi announced the result and gathered the top five.

"The results of this exam will be posted on the Saint Water Middle School website in a few days. When your high school entrance exam results come out, bring your score report to our school. If your high school entrance exam score doesn't meet the requirements, the next special admission candidate will take your place."

The candidates who were eliminated in the first round but hadn't left were excited. Does this mean they still have a chance!

The next second, they deflated. As long as they passed the special admission exam, they only needed to score 50 points above the minimum for the high school entrance exam, even if they weren't first place.

With such a low score, who could fail?

Sigh……
