Chapter 869: Chapter 744: Look Back (Two in One)

“At Yuliandun University, there’s no such thing as a secret, huh…” Qiao Sang internally remarked while feigning surprise, “How did you know?”

“Actually rejected it…” Li Dongdong said with a complexion tinged with complexity, “I heard it from someone else.”

To tell the truth, he always thought Gilbert was too old-fashioned and lacked the ability to judge people properly, but upon learning that Gilbert had indeed been rejected, he felt a sense of sighing regret.

If only Gilbert had approved Qiao Sang’s application in time, there wouldn’t be all this fuss…

At that moment, Qiao Sang added, “Dean Li, if I go back to Blue Star later, it shouldn’t affect my association with your name, right?”

Huh? Hm?!

Li Dongdong perked up, immediately pushing thoughts of Gilbert to the back of his mind, and asked eagerly, “You agreed?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation, “Ghost Ring King quickly learned Spatial Lockdown due to the Spirit Mark, and I’ve deeply realized the power of the Spirit Mark. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn about Spirit Marks from you in the future.”

Of course, she left out the most important part: money.

Her Unlimited Card was about to expire, and she had also turned down Principal Gilbert, meaning she had to rely on herself for resources from now on.

Anyway, Spirit Marks were one of the most lucrative paths in current society.

“Great! Great!” Li Dongdong was overjoyed, “Don’t worry, it won’t delay your participation in the Interstellar Cup!”

Isn’t it a bit too early to talk about the Interstellar Cup… Qiao Sang was somewhat embarrassed by this remark.

Although she felt sure she could take part in the Interstellar Cup, she also knew well that it was something far off in the future.

“Which Pet Beast shall we start with? I’ll demonstrate right now and go over some basics,” Li Dongdong said with excitement.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, “I have an appointment with Dean Liz of the medical school at 6 o’clock. I might not have time to listen.”

“No problem, no problem!” Li Dongdong waved his hand, not even asking what Qiao Sang needed from Dean Liz, “Just go ahead. Leave whichever Pet Beast you want to be marked, and we’ll take care of the rest.”

Qiao Sang instinctively looked down at Yaobao.

“Ya Ya!”

Before she could speak, Yaobao understood its Beast Tamer’s intention.

It shook its head quickly, clutching Qiao Sang’s clothes with its paw, indicating it didn’t want to be marked first and wanted to accompany her.

Qiao Sang could only perform a Seal Gesture.

The orange-yellow Star Array lit up.

Soon after, Gangbao appeared within the Star Array.

“Gangbao, you stay here to get the Spirit Mark. I’ve got something to do and will come back for you later,” Qiao Sang said.

“Gangzhan.”

Gangbao nodded calmly, indicating it understood.

Li Dongdong glanced at Gangbao and said, “The Gangzhan Giant Falcon has a body size of 7.6 meters, it will probably take about two to three hours.”

Depending on the complexity of the Spirit Mark and the size of the Pet Beast, the time it took to apply the Spirit Mark varied accordingly.

Qiao Sang nodded, “I understand.”

…

Outside the gate of Yuliandun University.

A tremendously sized Bird Pet Beast quietly awaited, its body equipped with a richly decorated carriage complete with windows and a roof.

Pet Beasts sporting carriages like this were highly favored by certain high-class individuals.

However, many Professional Beast Tamers did not like them, thinking that the carriage restricted the Pet Beasts’ movements, making it inconvenient if danger arose during the journey.

But Spirit Rune Masters and Artifact Masters held different views.

They believed that having a carriage on the Pet Beast allowed for a safer and more stable journey, as well as offering privacy, making it convenient to read or carry out other tasks inside.

Following the information sent by Dean Liz, Qiao Sang positioned herself beside the carriage-backed Bird Pet Beast.

The carriage door opened automatically.

Qiao Sang glanced at Dean Liz inside and stepped in while carrying Yaobao.

“Bang!”

As Qiao Sang closed the door and was about to greet, she saw Dean Liz looking intently at her, asking, “I heard you rejected your academy’s Principal Gilbert?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

If Principal Gilbert were in front of her, she would swear, it definitely wasn’t her who let the news slip…

“I’d rather return to Blue Star,” Qiao Sang said tactfully.

“I understand,” Dean Liz nodded slightly, “Most people prefer to stay on their own planets, especially since you’ve already been accepted by the Imperial Beastmaster Academy.”

“Generally, the competition for students happens when they haven’t been accepted by any school yet. Your situation is quite rare.”

Rare indeed, with offers like this, I’ve never even heard of it on the news… Qiao Sang internally retorted, while maintaining an attentive, listening posture.

At this point, Dean Liz casually inquired, “By the way, how do you usually train Bing’ai Palu to use the Healing Light?”
