Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 1103 - 843: Regional Competition (Two in One)_3

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Hunter anxiously turned left and right, staring at the ground, seemingly searching for something.

Its hair accessory was missing!

Qiao Sang glanced at Little Treasure Hunter’s head and realized it was indeed gone.

She scanned the ground and then picked up her phone to check the time, saying:

"Forget it, it’s getting late already. If you like those things on your head, I’ll buy you new ones after I get off the plane."

"Xun Xun..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Little Treasure Hunter sighed, then stretched out two short fingers, signaling it wanted two.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly: "Fine."

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter looked satisfied.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and collected Little Treasure Hunter back into the Beast Taming Codex.

At that moment, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up. The caller showed:

Mikaela.

She answered the call.

"Hello, are you here yet?"

"I’m here, already at the airport."

"Good, I’ll wait for you by the boarding gate."

"Alright, teacher." Qiao Sang hung up and strode inside.

At the same time.

Three kilometers away from the airport, a creature with a gray-black body, golden-yellow pupils, and a circular ring, identical to Little Treasure Hunter but adorned with a grape-shaped hair accessory, appeared in midair—Ghost Ring King.

...

Dragon Country.

Zhongkong Region.

Changqing City.

Changkong Airport.

The plane landed smoothly. Qiao Sang disembarked and headed straight to the local Beast Taming Center with Mikaela.

Billet was the type of teacher to act on whims, but Mikaela clearly had both execution and planning skills.

"Before coming here, I did some research. To officially participate in the regional tournament, you first need to register. The registration point is at the Beast Taming Center, and you have to pass city-level exams across all prefectural cities within the province." Mikaela explained on their way to the center.

"The examiners issuing these tasks are also stationed at the various Beast Taming Centers."

"So, to make things easier, we’ll be staying at the Beast Taming Center. I’ve already reserved the accommodations at this city’s center."

Upon hearing that, Qiao Sang immediately recalled the scenes from Chao Su Star’s Thirtieth District, where she had to sleep on the ground with Billet because there wasn’t even space left at the Beast Taming Center. She thought Mikaela was much more reliable.

Mikaela continued: "One more thing: as someone from the Yuhua Region, registering for tournaments in Zhongkong Region has restrictions. You need proof of property ownership here."

With that, she looked at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang quickly shook her head: "I don’t own property in Zhongkong Region."

In fact, when she had the Unlimited Card, she considered buying real estate here but couldn’t qualify due to too many restrictions.

"Or, you need to have paid social security here for one year."

"I haven’t." Qiao Sang shook her head again.

Mikaela glanced over: "Alternatively, you need to have attained the rank of C-rank Beast Tamer before age 30."

One of the conditions for participating in the regional tournament was being a C-rank Beast Tamer below the age of 40.

Achieving C-rank by age 30 was in a completely different league compared to doing so by age 40.

Regions never turned away top-tier talents.

A C-rank Beast Tamer before age 30 already met that standard.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, suddenly energized: "That’s a condition I can meet."

Mikaela smiled: "I know."

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have booked accommodations at the Beast Taming Center so quickly.

Mikaela then seemed to remember something and remarked: "There’s something you need to be aware of."

"What?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

"You have to independently complete the city-level exams in each prefectural city. I won’t interfere with those exams," Mikaela said earnestly.

So that’s all it was... Qiao Sang nodded:

"Got it."

If she couldn’t even secure official tournament qualifications, then the training she endured on Chao Su Star would’ve been all for naught.

...

Forty minutes later.

Changqing Beast Taming Center.

The first-floor lobby.

Mikaela went off to handle accommodation arrangements, while Qiao Sang approached Window 19 alone. She handed over her identity card and Beast Taming Badge:

"Hello, I’d like to register for the regional tournament."

The staff member accepted her card and badge, offering a standard smile:

"Please hold on a moment."

The staff looked over the information, and when they scanned the age section, their expression froze briefly. Suddenly, they lifted their head to stare at Qiao Sang, their face filled with shocked astonishment. Then they called over a colleague from the neighboring window.

The two of them repeatedly examined and discussed the data displayed on the computer before proceeding with the process.

The staff at Window 19 returned the identity card and Beast Taming Badge to Qiao Sang, their tone enthusiastic:

"Your registration is successful, but this isn’t official yet. You’ll need to complete exams across all prefectural cities in our province within six months."

Qiao Sang paused: "Wasn’t it said you had a full year to complete the exams?"

Her colleague explained:

"Our Zhongkong Region’s regional tournament has already started six months ago, leaving only half the time before official registration closes."
