Chapter 1643

Chapter 628 – Myriad Source Fruit (Part Two)

“You’re incredibly efficient!” Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but exclaim.

A shy look appeared in her silver eyes.

“Super Star Beast Taming Club…” Michaela frowned as she read the seven words aloud, staring at the blue subtitles.

“I knew this person was after me.” Qiao Sang’s tone was certain, further solidifying her belief.

The Super Star Beast Taming Club was one of the forces sending players to this competition. One of the three players under 100 years old who participated in the previous Interstellar Cup came from this club.

It wasn’t Yantian University… Michaela was quite surprised.

To be honest, after learning she’d been followed into the secret realm, she’d assumed this annoying force was Yantian University.

After all, Qiao Sang was representing the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, and Yantian University was one of the top four universities in the interstellar world, so comparisons were inevitable, especially since Qiao Sang had defeated a participant from Yantian University’s Imperial Class in the previous Master Challenge.

Yantian University’s reputation among interstellar institutions consistently ranked first in beast taming battles; it was normal for them to use more effort to win back their lost ground.

But unexpectedly, it wasn’t the people from Yantian University who followed them into the secret realm, but the Super Star Beast Taming Club…

A force like the Beast Taming Club wouldn’t waste their time and energy on useless things. There are still over twenty days until the competition, and even the preliminary match list hasn’t been released yet, but they’re spending so much effort tracking Qiao Sang—this isn’t normal…

“Teacher, what’s wrong?”

Qiao Sang’s voice pulled her back to reality. Michaela collected her thoughts and said,

“I was just wondering why the people from the Super Star Beast Taming Club would specifically send someone to follow you, and even specifically follow you to the secret realm…”

“Maybe they’re curious about me,” Qiao Sang said.

It’s definitely not just curiosity… Michaela suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Is your phone unlocked?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said.

“Let me see it.” Michaela reached out.

Qiao Sang handed over the phone she had found.

Michaela took the phone and quickly flipped through it.

On Qiao Sang’s phone, a silver eye blinked, and the subtitles changed:

[Should I check on Luo Yi?] “

No need,” Qiao Sang smiled. “His phone is already with me.”

The silver eyes blinked, and the subtitles changed accordingly:

【Then I’ll continue gathering information. Call me anytime if you need anything.】

Without waiting for a response, the silver eyes closed and disappeared from the phone screen.

Having a mechanical-type pet that can surf the internet is really convenient… Qiao Sang thought to herself, then looked at Teacher Michaela. Seeing her brow furrowing more and more as she stared at her phone, she couldn’t help but ask,

“Has he already gathered any information about me?”

“No…” Michaela quickly finished browsing, put down her phone, and said with displeasure, “The people from this Beast Taming Club want to recruit you, to get you into their club.”

“Get me into their club?” Qiao Sang asked in astonishment.

Michaela hummed in agreement. “Interstellar clubs like these recruit renowned professional beast tamers. You won the championship in your first Master Challenge and became an S-rank professional beast tamer at such a young age, so it’s normal for them to want to recruit you.” She paused

, then quickly added,

“Although they offer generous benefits, once you join them, they’ll keep you competing. If your performance isn’t good, they’ll suppress you internally, so you absolutely mustn’t be tempted.”

Top universities and beast taming clubs are two opposing forces. If a student at a top university is scouted by a beast taming club, they can join while still studying.

Top universities are less likely to recruit, but beast taming clubs don’t face this problem.

“How could I possibly be tempted?” Qiao Sang immediately replied, “I still want to participate in the Interstellar Cup under your guidance, teacher. I don’t have time to join any beast taming clubs.”

“Gang Quan?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gang Bao’s voice rang in her mind. “

I remember you joined some beast taming club back on Super Star.”

“I was just a figurehead at that club, no restrictions, and I even made money. The situation is completely different…” Josang replied in his mind without changing his expression.

Michaela immediately beamed, saying,

“Yes, our goal is the Interstellar Cup.”

Her smile widened further: “I knew you wouldn’t be interested.”

“Pfft!”

Pepper called out from the side, indicating that the other party hadn’t yet come to negotiate.

Michaela’s smile froze.

“No matter what they say, I won’t agree,” Josang said firmly.

Hearing this, Michaela relaxed.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, “Oh, right, I saw something else on his phone.”

“What?” Josang asked cooperatively.

“A Myriad Source Fruit appeared in Secret Realm Number 2,” Michaela said.

Her tone couldn’t hide her excitement.

The Myriad Source Fruit… Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then looked astonished and confirmed, “The one that greatly increases the energy of any type of pet?”

“That’s right, the Myriad Source Fruit that increases the energy of any type of pet.” Michaela explained, “The energy in the Myriad Source Fruit is extremely special and extremely powerful. Many pets that originally needed other items to evolve can evolve after eating the Myriad Source Fruit. Moreover, even Emperor-level pets can increase their energy by at least one small stage after eating the Myriad Source Fruit.” Emperor-

level pets can increase their energy by one small stage after eating it? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, “Does that mean that a beginner Emperor-level pet can reach an intermediate Emperor-level pet?”

“There have been cases where Emperor-level pets have eaten the Myriad Source Fruit and such a situation has occurred.” Michaela said seriously, “It depends on the energy contained in the Myriad Source Fruit.”

“However…”

“However what?” Qiao Sang asked.

Michaela looked over, his gaze intense, and said, “The message on the phone says that more than a dozen forces have their eyes on this Myriad Origin Fruit, and seven forces have entered Secret Realm No. 2 to wait in advance. For so many forces to be eyeing it, the level of this Myriad Origin Fruit must be quite high.”

“If we can obtain this Myriad Origin Fruit, your strength will definitely improve significantly before the official competition.”

Indeed, if this Myriad Source Fruit truly contains a lot of energy, whether Lu Bao or Ya Bao consumes it, their strength will greatly increase.

Speaking of which, Steel Treasure currently has stronger energy than Ya Bao. If Steel Treasure consumes it and its energy reaches the upper limit of the Emperor level, it can directly complete its evolution.

This feels even better than letting Lu Bao consume the Myriad Source Fruit, since in a 6V6 battle mode, two Emperor-level pets with different attributes are definitely more effective than a mid-Emperor-level pet.

With one Emperor-level pet, the opponent will definitely target it relentlessly, but with two, the opponent will definitely have to think more carefully…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang’s heart inexplicably raced for a moment, and then, remembering something, she asked:

“So many forces have entered the No. 2 Secret Realm, has the Myriad Source Fruit fallen into anyone’s hands yet?”

“The Myriad Source Fruit probably isn’t ripe yet,” Michaela said. “Only seven forces have entered; the Super Star Beast Taming Club members haven’t entered yet.”

“When will it ripen?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I don’t know, the chat history on the phone didn’t mention it,” Michaela said. “But we can go to Secret Realm 2 and grab someone who wants the Myriad Source Fruit and ask them.”

Josang pondered for a moment, then asked,

“Has our school sent anyone there?”

Michaela thought for a moment and said, “Blue Star is our base, the people at the school must know about this. They should send someone there. If the school gets this kind of resource, it will either be directly consumed internally by higher-ups or put in the points exchange section for everyone to exchange.”

Upon hearing this, Josang’s eyes lit up, and he said,

“Then let’s contact the school. If the school really sent someone, joining forces with them will definitely increase our chances of getting the Myriad Source Fruit.”

Upon hearing this, Michaela’s first thought was: If we join forces with the school, the Myriad Source Fruit might not necessarily end up in our hands.

Immediately, a second thought occurred to him: Perhaps not. As the youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in history, Qiao Sang is an absolute treasure at the school. Even if the people coming to snatch the Myriad Source Fruit are from other academies, they’ll definitely give him some face. If all else fails, he can contact the dean. If the dean intervenes, the Myriad Source Fruit will surely end up in Qiao Sang’s hands…

Thinking this, Michaela said, “Let me ask the dean.”

Without wasting any time, he took out his phone and dialed the dean’s number.

After two rings, the call connected.

Michaela’s tone instantly became respectful: “Dean, this is Michaela… It’s about Qiao Sang. I received news that the Myriad Source Fruit appeared in Secret Realm No. 2. I wanted to ask if our school sent anyone there… Yes, I think if Qiao Sang’s pet beast can consume the Myriad Source Fruit before the competition, their chances of winning will be even greater…”

Qiao Sang pricked up his ears, but unfortunately, he couldn’t hear anything on the other end of the line.

I’m already an S-rank Beastmaster, but I still can’t hear anything. The anti-eavesdropping features on these cell phones the school makes are really amazing…

About five minutes later, Michaela hung up the phone.

“What did the Dean say?” Josang asked impatiently.

“The school does know that a Myriad Source Fruit appeared in Secret Realm No. 2, but they haven’t sent anyone there yet,” Michaela said. “The Dean said that the school will send three people this time, two of whom are from other academies. If you want the Myriad Source Fruit, and the school obtains it, she will try to keep it for you. She suggests that you don’t go into Secret Realm No. 2 and focus on preparing for the competition.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask, “Wouldn’t our chances of obtaining the Myriad Source Fruit be greater if we went into the secret realm to help?”

“The school has received definite information that the Myriad Source Fruit will not be fully ripe for another week,” Michaela said. “Secret Realm No. 2 is located in the Lianke region and is an A-level secret realm. This secret realm cannot be entered and exited at will; specific items and designated times are required to enter.”

“Moreover, once you enter, you will stay inside for at least ten days. A peculiar thing about this secret realm is that the passage is not fixed at a certain coordinate. Every ten days, the passage exit will automatically appear at different coordinates within the secret realm.”

“If you cannot find the passage exit and miss the exit time, you will have to stay inside for another ten days.”

“Many forces participating in this Interstellar Beast Taming Championship will gather in Secret Realm No. 2. The Dean is worried that if something goes wrong inside, you might miss the competition.”

It only opens once every ten days, and the passage location isn’t fixed. No wonder the Dean doesn’t recommend I go… Qiao Sang asked,

“What are the chances of our school obtaining the Myriad Source Fruit?”

“Hard to say,” Michaela said in a deep voice. “Those who know about the Myriad Source Fruit are all interstellar-level forces, some stronger than the Imperial Beast Taming Academy.”

Meaning the chances aren’t high… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then asked,

“Who did our school send?”

“Instructors from the Medical School, instructors from the Journalism School, and one instructor from our Beast Taming Combat Academy,” Michaela said.

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Journalism School?”

What use would someone from the Journalism School be?

Michaela knew what she was wondering and said, “In the secret realm, sensing danger, infiltration, searching, and intelligence gathering are all very important. This instructor is quite skilled in these areas.”

Oh, I see… Qiao Sang asked again, “Who is the teacher our academy sent?”

“Her name is Laufey, an A-level professional beast tamer,” Michaela said.

“An A-rank professional beast tamer?” Qiao Sang blurted out, “

What’s the use of sending an A-rank professional beast tamer…” She swallowed the last four words and said tactfully,

“Isn’t the chance of sending an A-rank professional beast tamer to snatch the Myriad Source Fruit a bit too small?”

Michaela chuckled, “Do you think S-rank professional beast tamers are commonplace? There are forces that can send them for anything. The exact level of the Myriad Source Fruit is uncertain. Even if it’s targeted, not many forces can send an S-rank professional beast tamer.”

Not many forces can send an S-rank professional beast tamer…? Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she said,

“Teacher, let’s go.”

“Are you sure?” Michaela looked over and said, “Most forces won’t send S-rank professional beast tamers, but it’s not entirely impossible. We’re not guaranteed to get the Myriad Source Fruit, and there’s also the risk of missing the competition.”

Qiao Sang smiled,

“With you and Meimei here, we’ll definitely be back before the competition.”

“Pfft.”

Meimei nodded and called out, indicating that there was indeed no need to worry.

Qiao Sang continued:

“And even if some powerful force sends S-rank Beastmasters, it certainly won’t be just two. The two of us, plus the people from the school, will definitely have the highest chance of obtaining the Myriad Source Fruit.”

Michaela paused for a moment, then said,

“I’ll take care of the items for entering Secret Realm 2. You just continue training these next few days. I’ll tell you when it’s time to go.”

“When is the next time Secret Realm 2 opens?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I need to check,” Michaela said.

Just as he finished speaking, Qiao Sang felt something was wrong with his phone.

Picking it up, he saw the silver eyes of the Inspector open and blink.

Blue subtitles appeared:

【Tomorrow.】
