Chapter Summaries

Qiao Sang escaped the Scaled Armor Moths and a huge creature beneath the pool with Little Treasure’s expanded Space Movement, then healed her injured team in a thicket. She prepared to leave the Mula Monster far from its home to complete the mission.

• Ya Bao unleashed Flame Rain on the Scaled Armor Moths while Gang Bao and Luobao dealt with those that reached the safe area.
• Little Treasure used Psychic Power to shield Na Da Peng from Scaled Powder as Ya Bao kept Luobao aloft.

• Qiao Sang found the group in a thicket, summoned Ya Bao, Luobao, and Gang Bao, and had Luobao heal her and the injured pet beasts.
• Qiao Sang declined to have Luobao heal Na Da Peng and asked the Mula Monster if it was okay to leave it there.

Qiao Sang brought the Mula Monster back to Mai Ya’s home and learned it had been trying to alert her to the Scaled Armor Moths. The Little Girl recognized the Mula Monster as the tiny Pet Beast she had fed two years earlier, and Mai Ya realized it had been a Little La Monster then.

• Qiao Sang asked the Mula Monster what environment it wanted, but it insisted on returning to see someone before leaving.

• Qiao Sang explained that the Mula Monster had likely been trying to warn Mai Ya about the moths, and the Little Girl recognized it from a past encounter.
• Mai Ya remembered her daughter feeding a tiny wild Pet Beast two years earlier and realized it had been a Little La Monster.

Qiao Sang completed her mission involving the Mula Monster, then prepared Ya Bao for the upcoming assessment. When she and Tang Yi reunited with their injured teacher Qu Zhuo, Luobao healed him, and he immediately decided to conduct their pet beast energy test.

• Mai Ya recognized the Mula Monster as the Little La Monster that her daughter had befriended two years earlier, and she promised Qiao Sang a Five-Star Rating for the mission.
• Qiao Sang warned Mai Ya that Na Da Peng seemed unusually focused on stopping the Mula Monster, then checked Ya Bao's points and raised its level progress to 90,000.
• Tang Yi told Qiao Sang that he had gathered Mist Purification Grass in Source Water Fang's territory, and Qu Zhuo summoned them to Lishe Hospital through Head Rock Ke.
• Qiao Sang and Tang Yi found Qu Zhuo badly injured and learned he had been watching their missions; Qiao Sang used Luobao's Healing Light to restore him.
• Qu Zhuo recovered, removed his bandages, and led Qiao Sang and Tang Yi to take the pet beast energy test assessment.

Qiao Sang and Tang Yi completed supervised energy tests at the Pet Tamer Center, where Ya Bao’s near-limit reading shocked Qu Zhuo. After the test, Little Treasure felt upset that Luobao had surpassed its energy value, and Qu Zhuo scheduled the next assessment.

• Qu Zhuo explained the test rules, and Qiao Sang and Tang Yi summoned their pet beasts for medical examinations.
• The medical staff confirmed that all seven pet beasts were healthy, then began testing their energy values.
• Qiao Sang’s first three pet beasts earned her the assessment’s fifty points, while Ya Bao’s energy value of 496,726 left Qu Zhuo doubting the machine.
• Little Treasure grew tearful after learning that Luobao’s energy value exceeded its own, but Gang Bao reassured Luobao that Ya Bao’s higher reading was more impressive.
• Qu Zhuo told Qiao Sang and Tang Yi to meet at the Pet Tamer Center the next morning for the 2v2 battle test.

Qiao Sang began her Pet Beast 2V2 Battle Test against Qu Zhuo and used Luobao’s abilities to counter his Peeping Wave Hawk’s Combination Skill. After Luobao healed itself and trapped the hawk with Ice Cone Bodyguard, Qu Zhuo recalled it and moved on to the next round.

• Qiao Sang took Little Treasure to a Pet Beast Item Shop, where it chose an identifier after she declined the available models.

• Qu Zhuo recalled his injured Peeping Wave Hawk before Luobao could use Ice Flower Seal and said they would continue with the next round.

Qiao Sang faced Qu Zhuo’s General-level Steel Shaving Monkey in the second assessment battle and tried to keep Ya Bao out of its reach. After the Steel Shaving Monkey crushed Ya Bao into a crater, Ya Bao rose again with Fierce Fire activated.

• Qiao Sang recalled Luobao after the first battle and prepared Ya Bao for her next assessment match against Qu Zhuo.
• The Steel Shaving Monkey rushed Ya Bao, but Ya Bao dodged its blade with Teleport and countered with Flame Vortex.
• Ya Bao used Shadow Clone to evade the Steel Shaving Monkey’s strike and filled the sky with clones.
• The Steel Shaving Monkey launched its blades to destroy the clones, then used Mount Tai Press to crush Ya Bao into a crater.
• Qu Zhuo began praising the battle, but stopped when Ya Bao stood back up with Fierce Fire burning around its body.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao gained the upper hand against Qu Zhuo’s Steel Shaving Monkey by using Blaze, Hellfire, Teleport, and Fire Fang. As Ya Bao tried to capitalize on Blaze with a massive Shadow Clone and Spark Rain attack, Qu Zhuo’s Pokémon countered, and he ended the assessment just before its blade struck Ya Bao.

• Qu Zhuo recognized that Ya Bao had the Blaze Trait and watched as it used Hellfire, Teleport, and Fire Fang to pin down the Steel Shaving Monkey.
• Qu Zhuo praised Ya Bao’s battle sense, while Qiao Sang realized its Blaze-fueled strength was nearly spent and ordered Shadow Clone.
• Ya Bao filled the battle area with more than a hundred clones and launched Spark Rain at Qiao Sang’s command.
• Qu Zhuo ordered the Steel Shaving Monkey to intercept Spark Rain, and it broke through the clones and slashed toward Ya Bao.
• Qu Zhuo stopped the blade just before it hit Ya Bao and announced that the assessment time was up.

Ya Bao lost badly to Qu Zhuo’s Steel Shaving Monkey in Qiao Sang’s special admissions assessment, but recovered and resolved to win next time. Qu Zhuo announced the Pet Beast Doubles Test for that afternoon, and Qiao Sang chose Ya Bao and Luobao as her team.

• Ya Bao exhausted itself trying to return to Qiao Sang, so she recalled it after the Steel Shaving Monkey defeated it.
• The proctors at Zhongkong University praised Ya Bao’s Energy Value, skills, and performance before turning their attention to Tang Yi’s assessment.
• Qiao Sang comforted Ya Bao as it recovered, and Qu Zhuo told her and Tang Yi to prepare their Pet Beasts for the afternoon doubles test.
• Qiao Sang chose Ya Bao and Luobao for the doubles test, then summoned Luobao to watch Tang Yi’s battle and study possible opponents.
• As Tang Yi began the test, Little Treasure examined passing Pet Beasts with its identifier while Gang Bao practiced throwing a feather like a blade.

Qiao Sang faced Qu Zhuo’s Sandstorm Armor Beast and Head Rock Ke in her doubles assessment, while the proctors watched and discussed the matchup. The opponents raised a sandstorm, but Qiao Sang ordered Luobao to use Rain Dance as Ya Bao protected it; the rain began as the ground shook from the Sandstorm Armor Beast’s attack.

• Qu Zhuo ended Tang Yi’s doubles assessment after Palm Thorn Lilli and Paleilulu lasted the allotted ten minutes against his Pet Beasts.
• Qu Zhuo replaced the Peeping Wave Hawk with Head Rock Ke and summoned a Sandstorm Armor Beast for Qiao Sang’s assessment.
• The proctors noted that Qiao Sang’s Fire-type Ya Bao and Water-type Luobao faced a strong sandstorm-team pairing.
• The Sandstorm Armor Beast summoned a sandstorm that obscured the field, and Qiao Sang ordered Luobao to use Rain Dance.
• Head Rock Ke charged at Luobao, but Ya Bao dropped a flame in its path and forced it to change direction.
• Ya Bao spotted the opponents’ blurry silhouettes from above as the Sandstorm Armor Beast struck the ground, and rain began to fall.

Qu Zhuo then pushed the match further as Sandstorm Armor Beast unleashed a powerful aura and shattered the ice covering half the field.

• Sandstorm Armor Beast blasted Luobao into the air, but Yaobao rescued it, giving Luobao time to heal and evade another attack by hiding in the rain.
• Qiao Sang ordered Yaobao to target Head Rock Ke, while Luobao froze Sandstorm Armor Beast’s path and Yaobao struck Head Rock Ke with Hellfire.
• Yaobao blasted Head Rock Ke repeatedly with flames until it fainted, giving Qiao Sang’s team the advantage.
• Qu Zhuo realized Luobao had confined the rain to the area where Yaobao was not using Hellfire, creating a field divided between rain and clear skies, ice and flames.
• Qu Zhuo called on Sandstorm Armor Beast, which released a powerful aura and shattered the ice covering half the field.

Qiao Sang and her Pet Beasts fought Qu Zhuo’s General-level Sandstorm Armor Beast during an assessment, ending with Ya Bao’s Spark Rain breaking its Barrier. The assessment time had expired, and a staff member confronted Qiao Sang about the ruined field.

• Luobao dodged the Sandstorm Armor Beast’s quicksand attack but could not land a hit on the General-level opponent.
• Qiao Sang ordered Ya Bao to prepare Spark Rain, and Qu Zhuo told the Sandstorm Armor Beast to stop it.
• The Sandstorm Armor Beast unleashed Sandstorm, but Luobao charged through the gale and opened a path for Ya Bao to launch Spark Rain.
• Ya Bao charged into the Sandstorm, then its Spark Rain broke through the Sandstorm Armor Beast’s Barrier.
• Qu Zhuo recalled the Sandstorm Armor Beast and announced that the assessment time was up, so Qiao Sang recalled Ya Bao and Luobao.
• A staff member pointed at the wrecked field and asked who had done it.

Qiao Sang finished Zhongkong University's assessment and boarded a plane back to the Third District with Tang Yi. During the flight, Tang Yi told her how an F-rank pet tamer had impersonated a C-rank tamer for years, and Qiao Sang realized the story was connected to the Three-Star Mission she had completed.

• Qu Zhuo took responsibility for the damaged training grounds and told Qiao Sang and Tang Yi to meet him at the Pet Tamer Center entrance in an hour so he could take them back to the Third District.
• Qu Zhuo and the Sandstorm Armor Beast hurried to repair the grounds before their departure, while Qiao Sang and Tang Yi left to pack.

• Tang Yi told Qiao Sang that an F-rank pet tamer had impersonated a C-rank tamer for over twenty years and had been exposed after a woman investigated him.
• Tang Yi explained that the man had placed a Scaled Armor Moth nest in the woman's home to fulfill his agreement with the Scaled Hunter Giant Moth, and Qiao Sang realized the case was tied to the mission she had accepted.

Qiao Sang learned that Secret Realm No. 16 was exclusive to the Pet Beast Spirit Mark Center and realized her championship key would let her enter when it opened. After returning to Sainan High School, she resumed studying while her Pet Beasts trained, then headed to class the next morning.

• Qu Zhuo explained that exclusive secret realms could belong to universities, families, or organizations, and that Secret Realm No. 16 was the Pet Beast Spirit Mark Center's realm, opening once every thirty years.
• Qiao Sang remembered that her championship prize was a pass key for Secret Realm No. 16, where Qingqing Ni lived, and understood why the key mattered despite the Clear Wind Compass being sold at auction.
• Qiao Sang asked Qu Zhuo if she could battle him again if she did not get into Zhongkong University, and he encouraged her to believe in herself.
• Back in the dormitory, Gang Bao admitted he had plucked feathers to practice a move like the Steel Shaving Monkey's, and Qiao Sang told him to use just one feather.
• Qiao Sang stayed up late to study while Luobao trained and Little Treasure followed her to the living room; outside, a stone-like Pet Beast watched Chan Chan Stone eat chili peppers and cried.
• The next morning, Qiao Sang took her Pet Beasts to the Open-air Training Ground, sent Little Treasure to her study spot, and went to class.

Qiao Sang considered whether she could help Gang Bao achieve Bond Evolution after Tang Yi invited her to a pet-beast coordination event. Meanwhile, a mysterious pitch-black pet beast watched her dorm and waited for a chance to carry out a rescue plan.

• Qiao Sang told her classmates the Twenty-Fifth District was dangerous and learned that their final wilderness practice would take place in the Twenty-seventh District, where Gang Bao had come from.
• Tang Yi invited Qiao Sang to a stage-clearing event, explaining that he hoped it would help him bond with Poison Water Lion and that he wanted to try for Bond Evolution.
• Qiao Sang wondered whether Gang Bao could undergo Bond Evolution, but gave up after Gang Bao called her a good person and she decided she had made no special impression on it.
• Ya Bao heard something outside the dorm window, but Qiao Sang saw nothing; a pitch-black pet beast was hiding on the ledge and watched the room.
• The pitch-black pet beast climbed toward the fifth floor, retreated when it saw Chan Chan Stone was awake, then waited until dawn for Qiao Sang to fall asleep so it could carry out its rescue plan.

Qiao Sang discovered that a wild Chan Chan Stone had entered her room to reunite with her own Chan Chan Stone, and she let the father and child leave with a Violet Pool Crystal. After learning Gang Bao wanted to return to the Twenty-seventh District, she worried about its family and saw five Chan Chan Stones appear at her window.

• Qiao Sang mistook a wild Chan Chan Stone for her own and brought it inside, then realized the two were different.
• Little Treasure translated that the wild Chan Chan Stone was the father of Qiao Sang’s Chan Chan Stone and had come to rescue its child.

• Qiao Sang worried throughout the day about Gang Bao’s family, then saw five nearly identical Chan Chan Stones lined up outside her window.

Five Chan Chan Stones returned to Qiao Sang’s home and agreed to stay in exchange for food, lodging, and Violet Pool Crystals, bringing Little Treasure new companions for nighttime play and training. The next day, Qiao Sang collected new sunglasses for Fang Fang and a Diamond Glove for Little Treasure, then photographed Fang Fang modeling the sunglasses and offered Gang Bao accessories too.

• Five Chan Chan Stones came to Qiao Sang’s room and, through Little Treasure’s translation, asked to stay and work together for food, lodging, and four Violet Pool Crystals each; Qiao Sang welcomed them.

The class began with a high-stakes exam, and Ellen demonstrated the risks when a bird attacked a student before she drove it off.

• Ellen told Qiao Sang and Tang Yi to stay near her in the Twenty-seventh District because their parents were absent.
• On the Flying Ship, Qiao Sang worried that Gang Bao might want to return to the Twenty-seventh District and that she could not bring its family to Blue Star.

• Ai Lun's Ghoul Vine Weng attached Ghoul Eyes to the students to track and monitor them, and she explained how the skill worked.
