After a forum post revealed her identity, she called her mother to say she was competing the next day.

• At the examination center, Xu Yixuan offered to treat Qiao Sang to lunch, unaware that Qiao Sang had earned the 1,000 Alliance Coins Xu Yixuan spent on information about her.
• Qiao Sang summoned Ya Bao, Little Treasure, and Lu Bao for her examination, stunning everyone when Ya Bao’s green Star Array appeared and he wore sunglasses with Psychic Power.

• Qiao Sang told Ye Xiangting that the competition started at nine twenty, and Ye Xiangting urged her to stay in the competition long enough for her to watch.

• At the Pet Beast Training Base, Xu Yixuan pointed out students from Yicheng Pet Beast High School, but Qiao Sang focused on beating Fuqi Pet Beast High School.
• At Area C, Sun Boyi was surprised to see Principal Wang Weidou, who asked where Qiao Sang was.

At the National Campus Beast Taming League qualifiers, Qiao Sang misled Fuqi Pet Beast High School about which pet beast she would send out. Her Flame Listening Dog defeated Zhao Weiwei’s Two-Headed Black Crow in three seconds, leaving the spectators stunned.

• The Flame Listening Dog appeared behind the Two-Headed Black Crow and knocked it unconscious with a single burst of flames in three seconds.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao dominated their preliminary-round matches, winning before their opponents could properly respond. After defeating Li Kun twice through quick attacks and a distraction, Qiao Sang prepared to continue the competition.

• Ya Bao defeated Zhao Weiwei's Long Ear Cat almost instantly with Flame Vortex, leaving the other schools worried about facing Qiao Sang.
• Fuqi Pet Beast High School's coach advised the contestants to conserve their strength against Qiao Sang, and Li Kun agreed they had little chance of winning.

• Qiao Sang distracted Li Kun by saying she had not meant to deceive him while Ya Bao used Psychic Power to move his Power Head Duck outside the arena, winning the match.

Qiao Sang defeated Fuqi Pet Beast High School’s remaining contestants with Ya Bao’s powerful, precise Sparks, drawing attention from rival schools. A rival school’s scout reported her abilities to his principal, who instructed Ding Yanjing and the others to study her matches, but one student refused because his Guwei Flower was about to evolve.

• Qiao Sang regretted not having Ya Bao attack directly after Li Kun was knocked out of the arena.

Qiao Sang watched the remaining matches and learned about Mechanical Type Pet Beasts after earning 18 points. At the training grounds dormitory, Ya Bao and the Great Flame Sparrow prepared to fight, while Little Treasure produced a whistle that looked like the referee’s.

• At the dormitory, Ya Bao and the Great Flame Sparrow got ready to spar, and Little Treasure pulled a red whistle from its Ring.
• Wang Yao asked Qiao Sang when she had bought a whistle like the referee’s.

Qiao Sang learned that Little Treasure had traded Fang Fang’s sunglasses for a whistle, then agreed to let Little Treasure compete the next day as revenge for the trade. As Saint Water High School prepared to face Pinhai High School, Qiao Sang reasoned that letting Fang Fang battle today would not break her promise to Little Treasure.

• Little Treasure revealed that it had traded one of Fang Fang’s pairs of sunglasses for a whistle, and Fang Fang happily claimed the whistle as its own.
• Angry about the whistle, Little Treasure woke Qiao Sang in the middle of the night and asked to compete in the next day’s match; Qiao Sang agreed.
• A forum post ranked Qiao Sang among the province’s sixty-seven first-tier contestants, drawing attention from people at the competition.
• Sun Boyi warned He Datao that Pinhai High School specialized in countering Fire-type pet beasts as Saint Water High School prepared to face them.
• Qiao Sang considered letting Fang Fang battle Pinhai High School and decided that doing so today would not violate her promise to Little Treasure for tomorrow.

Qiao Sang faced Pinhai High School’s Zhou Jing after He Datao lost two matches, and sent out Ya Bao despite the crowd expecting her to choose a Water-type pet beast. The match began with Zhou Jing’s Star Speckled Turtle avoiding Ya Bao’s Psychic Power, leaving Ya Bao excited to face a stronger opponent.

• Zhou Jing’s Sea Gnawing Raccoon used a spiraling Water Jet to hit He Datao’s Magma Burst Gorilla, helping Pinhai High School take two of the six matches.

• Ya Bao’s Psychic Power failed to control Big Spot, and Ya Bao became excited that the opponents were getting stronger.

• Pinhai High School’s Vice Principal praised Zhou Jing’s hard work after she defeated He Datao and imagined her beating Qiao Sang.
• Ya Bao dodged the Star Speckled Turtle’s spinning water attack, then used a powerful Fire Fang that knocked it out.

• The Sea Gnawing Raccoon created sixteen clones and charged toward Ya Bao.
• Ya Bao controlled and lifted all sixteen Sea Gnawing Raccoons into the air, shocking the Vice Principal.

Qiao Sang’s Flame Listening Dog used Psychic Power to defeat Zhou Jing’s Sea Gnawing Raccoons, but the last one’s Torrent Trait made the battle more difficult. Ya Bao tracked the speeding Water Jet by sound, teleported onto the Sea Gnawing Raccoon, and knocked it out to win the match.

• Pinhai High School’s Vice Principal and the audience realized Ya Bao was controlling sixteen Sea Gnawing Raccoons with Psychic Power.
• Ya Bao slammed the Sea Gnawing Raccoons into the ground, revealing Zhou Jing’s injured real one, which survived his Flame Vortex after Zhou Jing ordered it to hold on.
• The audience recognized that the Sea Gnawing Raccoon had the Torrent Trait, and Zhou Jing sent it charging through the air with Water Jet.
• Qiao Sang told Ya Bao to listen for the Sea Gnawing Raccoon, and he used its sound to track it as it sped around him.
• Ya Bao teleported onto the Sea Gnawing Raccoon’s back and struck it with a fiery bite, ending the match.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao swept their preliminary matches, while school officials discussed how close Hanggang No. 6 Pet Beast Middle School had come to enrolling her. Back at the dorm, Qiao Sang summoned Little Treasure, who discovered he had misunderstood when his competition would take place.

In the next day's match against Hanggang Sixth Pet Beast High School, she surprised the crowd by sending out Little Treasure instead of Flame Listening Dog.

• Qiao Sang read the profiles of top contenders and learned that Flame Listening Dog's sensitive ears could be exploited by sound-based attacks.

• Back at the dormitory, Little Treasure bragged about its match while Qiao Sang noticed that a forum post had ranked her first and described her newly revealed skill.
• Qiao Sang compared the forum analyses and found that the posts gave Li Tan Pet Beast High School’s members far less detailed scrutiny than students from other schools, prompting her to suspect Li Tan was behind them.

Qiao Sang posted a detailed analysis of Litan Pet Beast High School, and an opponent used it to defeat one of the school’s first-year competitors, making the post go viral. On the final day of preliminaries, Qiao Sang faced Zhang Shiming and had Little Treasure connect the shadows of all ten Yellow Stubborn Flower clones.

• Qiao Sang watched Litan Pet Beast High School’s matches and wrote a forum post analyzing its top competitors and how to counter them.

Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy revealed that its Darkness Shadow Control could physically attack, defeating Zhang Shiming’s Ghost-Sucking Lamp by spinning it unconscious. After winning several more matches, Qiao Sang recalled Little Treasure for her final Group A2 match and sent out Ya Bao, planning to use its Psychic Type to promote it.
