Chapter Summaries

Qiao Sang arrived at the Imperial Pet Taming Academy, where Dean Theresa Dwight welcomed her and introduced Mikala as her one-on-one instructor. Qiao Sang learned that the Imperial Class offered 10,000 points and academy-wide resources, but its students could remain there for decades while working toward S-rank.

• Mikala explained that Imperial Class students could access the academy’s resources and information channels for decades, while the academy would support their growth without restricting their development.

After discovering that Qiao Sang's brain domain had reached 49 percent, Mikala used a Fate Spirit to locate her next opportunity in Dragon Nation. Qiao Sang chose to enter the Zhongkong Region's Regional Tournament, and Mikala decided they would leave that night.

Qiao Sang traveled with Mikala to Dragon Nation to pursue Regional Tournament qualification, arranging Energy Meals for her Pet Beasts along the way. After registering in Changqing City, she learned she had only six months to complete the required assessments across the province because registration had already been open for half a year.

• Mikala arranged for Breeding Academy teacher Forda Snowden to examine Qiao Sang's Pet Beasts and formulate Energy Meals, which he promised to mail after about a week.
• Qiao Sang flew to the airport with Ya Bao, while a Mo Mo Seed escaped from a man's Beast-catching device after noticing Little Treasure's grape hair accessory.
• Qiao Sang met Mikala at the airport, and they traveled to Changqing City, where Mikala explained the Regional Tournament's registration rules and required independent assessments in every prefecture-level city.
• Qiao Sang registered at the Changqing Pet Tamer Center and learned she had six months, rather than a year, to complete the provincial assessments.

Qiao Sang began her Zhongkong Region assessment by investigating thefts at a Changqing City warehouse and used Ya Bao’s Tactile Power to identify a Ghost Type Pet Beast as the culprit. After checking the warehouse’s blind spots and reviewing events outside, she suspected the thief might still be inside.

• Qiao Sang registered for the Zhongkong Region competition and accepted an assessment mission to catch the thief stealing items from a Changqing City warehouse.
• Qiao Sang went to the warehouse despite the case officer refusing to meet until the next day, and learned the latest theft had occurred at 9:05 the previous night.
• Qiao Sang and Ya Bao used Tactile Power to review the theft and discovered that a Ghost Type Pet Beast had made the stolen item invisible.
• Qiao Sang identified a surveillance blind spot where the Ghost Type Pet Beast had entered and reviewed the scene, then sent Little Treasure to teleport her and Ya Bao outside the wall.
• Qiao Sang reviewed the events outside the wall and saw no sign of the thief, leading her to suspect that the Ghost Type Pet Beast might still be inside the warehouse.

Qiao Sang caught the warehouse thief in Changqing City and completed her assessment task in one evening. After the examiner confirmed her success, she and Mikala set off for Pan Tian City by aerial route.

• Qiao Sang used Little Treasure's Space Lock to trap Bubble Ghost in the warehouse, and Lu Bao froze it before it could damage the remaining Items.
• The police arrested Bubble Ghost and its Beast Tamer, who confessed that he had ordered the theft so Bubble Ghost could absorb energy from the defective Items.

• Mikala and Qiao Sang flew toward Pan Tian City and arrived at a cloud route where travelers and pet beasts waited.

Qiao Sang traveled with Teacher Mikala to Pan Tian City and received an assessment mission to find a missing healer in No. 88 Secret Realm. As Qiao Sang prepared to enter alone, Teacher Mikala secretly disguised herself so she could follow without being recognized, and Qiao Sang called one of the missing man's former companions.

• Teacher Mikala and Qiao Sang rode the aerial passage to Pan Tian City after recalling their pet beasts into the Pet Beast Codex.
• An examiner assigned Qiao Sang to search No. 88 Secret Realm for Liu Bo, who had disappeared a week earlier, and recover his remains or find proof of his death.
• Teacher Mikala refused to enter the secret realm openly with Qiao Sang, explaining that Qiao Sang needed to face the danger herself.
• Qiao Sang read accounts and safety information about No. 88 Secret Realm, including warnings about Poison Fang Worms, Wonderful Hair Scorpions, and nighttime disappearances.
• Teacher Mikala used a mud-like pet beast to alter her appearance, intending to secretly accompany Qiao Sang into the secret realm.
• Qiao Sang read Liu Bo's mission details and called Zhai Yang, one of the two people who had entered the secret realm with him.

Qiao Sang gathered a team to enter the No. 88 Secret Realm and search for the missing Liu Bo, learning from Qu Yang how Liu Bo vanished. At the entrance, she accepted Lin Shi as a companion in exchange for an S-rank Ghost Tear, then led the team into the secret realm.

• Qiao Sang called Qu Yang, who refused to accompany her but explained that Liu Bo disappeared while on watch after their team camped beside a pool, leaving only a distress signal about a kilometer away.
• Qiao Sang convinced the injured Yuan Jiewen to join her by telling him that Luobao knew the Super-Level skill Healing Light.
• Qiao Sang prepared for the trip and reassured Mikala that Yuan Jiewen’s previous experience in the secret realm would help her, despite Mikala urging her to find another experienced Beastmaster.
• At Golden Mist Mountain, Qiao Sang refused a costly secret-realm service flyer and declined a woman’s request to join her team until the woman offered an S-rank Ghost Tear.
• Qiao Sang met Yuan Jiewen, introduced the woman as Lin Shi, and set off with both companions to enter the No. 88 Secret Realm.

Qiao Sang and her team entered a secret realm, where Gang Bao and Ya Bao defeated swarms of Poison Fang Worms and Wonderful Hair Scorpions. After crossing the scorpions’ muddy pool with Little Treasure’s Space Movement, the group continued deeper into the realm.

• Qiao Sang, Lin Shi, and Yuan Jiewen entered the secret realm, where Ya Bao burned two Poison Fang Worms and Little Treasure immobilized a swarm for Gang Bao to defeat.
• Qiao Sang declined a gas mask because she was resistant to poison, and the team headed southwest after Yuan Jiewen pointed out the route he had taken before.
• Qiao Sang had Little Treasure produce wigs to draw Wonderful Hair Scorpions away from the team, then used Ya Bao’s Scorching Wind to drive the scorpions back into their muddy pool.
• Yuan Jiewen explained that they would need Flying Type pets to cross the pool, but Qiao Sang had Little Treasure use Space Movement to take everyone straight to the other side.

Qiao Sang and her team were attacked first by Poison Pine Mushrooms and then by a Tight Vine Tree Monster while crossing No. 88 Secret Realm. They defeated both threats and left the powerful tree monster collapsed on the ground.

• Little Treasure provoked a black Poison Pine Mushroom, prompting the mushrooms to attack with poisonous gas, but Ya Bao and Little Treasure held them still while Gang Bao knocked them all down.
• Qiao Sang used Luobao's Healing Light to treat the team for the Poison Pine Mushroom toxins before they entered a more dangerous area.
• A Tight Vine Tree Monster ambushed Yuan Jiewen with vines and hung him from a nearby tree, but Bei Renhao caught him after Ya Bao set the monster ablaze.
• Qiao Sang ordered Little Treasure to bind the Tight Vine Tree Monster and had Ya Bao strike its eyes with a powerful beam, knocking it to the ground.

Qiao Sang’s group traveled deeper into No. 88 Secret Realm, where she discovered that even ordinary-looking debris could be Wild Pet Beasts. They reached the pond where Liu Bo had disappeared, and Qiao Sang questioned why the valuable Water Leap Fruits nearby had not been picked.

• Qiao Sang defeated a disguised Tight Vine Tree Monster after Gang Bao warned her, and Yuan Jiewen thanked her for rescuing him.
• Lin Shi collected leaves from the unconscious Tight Vine Tree Monster and explained that she was a Breeding Academy specialist.
• As the group ventured deeper, Qiao Sang learned that fallen leaves, dead branches, and other surroundings could be pet beasts, while Yuan Jiewen advised them to use Sand Leader Ant feces to conceal their scent.
• Little Treasure rubbed the dark brown sand over itself and Gang Bao, while Ya Bao defeated a snake-like pet beast that lunged at Qiao Sang.
• The group arrived at the pond where Liu Bo had disappeared, and Qiao Sang asked why its valuable Water Leap Fruits remained untouched.

Qiao Sang used Ya Bao’s Tactile Power to review what happened at the pool and discovered that a shadowy Water-type Pet Beast had put Liu Bo and his Pet Beast to sleep before a frog-like Pet Beast dragged him away. She concluded Liu Bo had been targeted after urinating beneath the fruit tree and planned to test that theory with Yuan Jiewen.

• Yuan Jiewen warned Qiao Sang that picking Water Leap Fruits would provoke nearby Wild Pet Beasts and recounted a team’s failed attempt to take them.
• Qiao Sang decided to sleep near the pool to try to lure out the Pet Beast that had taken Liu Bo, then used Ya Bao’s Tactile Power to revisit the area’s past.
• Qiao Sang watched Liu Bo urinate beneath the fruit tree and later saw a shadow in the pool release bluish gas that made Liu Bo and his Pet Beast fall asleep.
• A frog-like Pet Beast dragged Liu Bo toward the pool, but the shadow swayed its head, prompting it to change direction and carry Liu Bo toward the forest.
• Qiao Sang told Yuan Jiewen to stand watch and ordered him to urinate beneath the fruit tree first.

Qiao Sang used Ya Bao’s Tactile Power to infer that a Water-type Wild Pet Beast had targeted Liu Bo after he relieved himself beside a Water Leap Fruit tree. The group used Yuan Jiewen as bait and waited for the creature, which surfaced and released faint blue gas at the end of the chapter.

• Qiao Sang explained her theory, and Yuan Jiewen agreed to relieve himself beneath the fruit tree to attract the Wild Pet Beast.
• Mikala asked about Ya Bao’s Tactile Power, and Qiao Sang said it had reached the Profound Meaning level.
• Gang Bao spotted a black shadow in the pool, and Qiao Sang told Yuan Jiewen to keep watch while the others pretended to sleep.
• Qiao Sang assured Yuan Jiewen that Ghost Ring King’s Tongue Lick and Ice Aipalu’s Healing Light could counter the creature’s Water Sleep Gas.
• Yuan Jiewen and Bei Renhao stayed alert as the black shadow disappeared, then surfaced again about half an hour later and released faint blue gas.

Qiao Sang and her team captured the Qu Arrow Frog that had taken Liu Bo, but the hidden creature in the pool revealed itself as an Ancient Pet Beast. As the Water Joint Armor attacked, Gang Bao rescued Qiao Sang and Mikala from a whirlpool opening beneath them.

• Little Treasure warned Qiao Sang about the Qu Arrow Frog's Water Sleep Gas, and Yuan Jiewen and Bei Renhao fell asleep after being overcome by it.
• The Qu Arrow Frog emerged from the pool and began dragging Yuan Jiewen away, but Little Treasure pinned it with its shadow and put it to sleep.
• Qiao Sang ordered her team to seize the Qu Arrow Frog, but the creature vanished as the Water Joint Armor surfaced and attacked with streams of water.
• Lin Shi identified the Water Joint Armor as a King-level Ancient Pet Beast with Bug and Water attributes.
• A whirlpool opened beneath Qiao Sang and Mikala, but Gang Bao swiftly moved them onto its back.

Qiao Sang and her Pet Beasts tried to rescue the unconscious Yuan Jiewen and Bei Renhao from the Water Joint Armor and the Weak Pig King. Just as Ya Bao’s attack was about to hit them, the entire scene suddenly froze in ice.

• Ya Bao woke and blasted the water current chasing Gang Bao, giving Qiao Sang a chance to target the Qu Arrow Frog instead of fighting the Water Joint Armor head-on.
• Ya Bao attacked the Water Joint Armor while Little Treasure used its blue light to take the Qu Arrow Frog from the pool.
• Little Treasure could not teleport Yuan Jiewen and Bei Renhao through the Weak Pig King’s Profound Meaning-level Water Screen Barrier, which Lin Shi explained was isolating energy sensing and coordinates.
• Qiao Sang ordered Ya Bao to break the barrier, but it vanished before Ya Bao’s Exploding Flame Bullet struck, leaving the two unconscious people exposed.
• The pool, the Weak Pig King, the Water Joint Armor, and Ya Bao’s Exploding Flame Bullet froze into ice just before the attack reached Yuan Jiewen and Bei Renhao.

Qiao Sang escaped the Water Joint Armor’s domain with Luobao’s Ice Heaven Domain, then hypnotized the captured Qu Arrow Frog to learn that it had taken Liu Bo somewhere to solve the sewage. The group followed the frog toward that place, hoping to find Liu Bo.

• Luobao froze the Water Joint Armor and Weak Pig King long enough for Little Treasure to teleport Qiao Sang’s group to safety.
• Qiao Sang thanked Luobao, had Gang Bao scout for danger, and used Little Treasure to wake Yuan Jiewen, Bei Renhao, and the Qu Arrow Frog.
• Qiao Sang stopped the Qu Arrow Frog from escaping and had Little Treasure hypnotize it while Ya Bao translated its answers.
• The Qu Arrow Frog said it had taken Liu Bo into the water to solve the sewage, but did not know whether he was dead.
• Qiao Sang showed the Qu Arrow Frog Liu Bo’s photo, and it led the group toward the place where it had taken him.

Qiao Sang and her group entered the concealed Water Barrier beneath a Giant Tree while searching for Liu Bo. They landed beside a foul, ink-black river, where several human-like figures drank from the water, and Yuan Jiewen recognized Liu Bo among them.

• The Qu Arrow Frog confirmed that Liu Bo was beneath the Giant Tree, and a yellow snake-like Pet Beast appeared before retreating into the canopy.
• Qiao Sang recognized the concealed Water Barrier and decided to enter to retrieve Liu Bo, even if only his corpse; Mikala and the reluctant Yuan Jiewen followed.
• Qiao Sang and the others fell through the barrier, and Ya Bao caught them as they descended through the dark, foul-smelling space.
• They reached an ink-black river and saw human-like figures drinking from it.
• Yuan Jiewen caught up to Qiao Sang, saw the figures by the river, and recognized Liu Bo.

Qiao Sang found Liu Bo and several other survivors in a secret realm, but a horde of hostile Water-type Pet Beasts attacked before Luobao could heal them. Surrounded by numerous General-level foes, Qiao Sang called for everyone to wait, leaving the battle about to begin.

• Yuan Jiewen recognized Liu Bo among several emaciated survivors who had been drinking polluted river water, and Qiao Sang used Little Treasure to bring them over.
• Mikala warned that a nearby Pet Beast was using Water Conversion, so Qiao Sang prepared to heal the survivors with Luobao's Healing Light.
• Water Joint Armor erupted from the river with dozens of water streams, forcing Ya Bao, Little Treasure, and Gang Bao to defend the group.
• Luobao froze a stream that struck Gang Bao, while other water attacks sent Yuan Jiewen, Bei Renhao, and a bird-type Pet Beast crashing into a tree.
• Water Joint Armor summoned a crowd of hostile Water-type Pet Beasts, including more than a dozen General-level ones, and Yuan Jiewen chose to help Qiao Sang.
• As the Pet Beasts prepared to attack, Qiao Sang raised her hand and shouted for them to wait.

Qiao Sang froze the Water-type Wild Pet Beasts with Luobao’s Ice Heaven Domain and weakened them with Ya Bao’s Spark Rain, then tried to negotiate with the remaining King-level Water Joint Armor. The chapter ended as she offered to help it clean the river, while hidden water gathered around them.

• Water Joint Armor ordered the Water-type Wild Pet Beasts to attack, and Qiao Sang answered with Luobao’s Ice Heaven Domain.
• Qiao Sang commanded Ya Bao to unleash Spark Rain while the frozen beasts were trapped, and the fire rain knocked out the other Water-type Wild Pet Beasts.
• Water Joint Armor broke free from the ice and survived the assault, leaving Qiao Sang to ask whether they could talk.
• Qiao Sang offered to help Water Joint Armor turn the river’s pollution into clean water, and the streams moving beneath the ground stopped.

Qiao Sang had Luobao purify part of the polluted river, winning Water Joint Armor’s trust and improving its attitude toward the group. As Luobao rested, Wild Pet Beasts gathered with berries from all directions, leaving Qiao Sang and her companions surrounded by a growing crowd.

• Qiao Sang promised Water Joint Armor that Luobao could purify the river if it let them leave safely.
• Luobao used Purification on the polluted water, revealing many sick Wild Pet Beasts beneath the river’s surface.
• Water Joint Armor softened toward Luobao and asked it to stay, then offered to let Qiao Sang stay too; Qiao Sang insisted they would leave together.
• Qiao Sang told Water Joint Armor that Luobao needed to rest before purifying more water, and Water Joint Armor called the Water-type Pet Beasts beneath the river.
• Water-type and Flying-Type Pet Beasts arrived from every direction carrying berries, gathering around Qiao Sang and the others.

Wild Pet Beasts brought a mountain of valuable fruits for Luobao after she purified their polluted river, and Qiao Sang stayed with them as Luobao continued restoring the water. By night, Luobao was still eating and working to help the grateful Wild Pet Beasts.

• Wild Pet Beasts gathered around Qiao Sang and delivered fruits for Luobao, while Water Joint Armor watched her gently.
• Wipe Wipe Monsters cleaned the fruits before offering them to Luobao, who ate as Ya Bao, Little Treasure, and Gang Bao settled nearby.
• Qiao Sang asked Yuan Jiewen and the major client to leave, but both chose to stay with her.
• Luobao restored her energy with the fruits and used Purification twice more, turning the river water from light black to dark gray and then gray.
• The Wild Pet Beasts grew more devoted to Luobao, and some Fighting Type and Water-type beasts massaged her while she ate.
• After Ya Bao, Yuan Jiewen, and the major client fell asleep, Qiao Sang watched Luobao keep eating and realized she was working hard to help the Wild Pet Beasts.
