Before the people from these interstellar top schools could continue asking questions, the man with slicked-back hair glanced at the time displayed on his wristwatch and said, "It’s getting late, don’t forget the time we’re supposed to meet with the teacher."

Aisling showed an expression of "I almost forgot," stood up, and said, "We’ll be leaving then."

With that, she turned and left.

The people from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy rose in unison and followed her out the door.

As soon as they walked a few steps, Aisling suddenly stopped and turned back, saying, "Although Qiao Sang can’t participate in this competition and compete with your university’s Franklin, I’m sure that Qiao Sang from our school would definitely win. I remember Franklin from your school only recently became a B-level Professional Beast Tamer and doesn’t even have an Emperor Level Pet Beast."

Saying this, the Imperial Beastmaster Academy people didn’t bother pretending anymore, and a young man with brown curly hair sneered:

"In the future, make sure Franklin from your school pays attention. If he’s not a genius, he shouldn’t be boasting, saying ’I’ve never regarded students from other interstellar top schools,’ does he really have the skill to back it up?"

After he finished speaking, Aisling pretended to stop him: "Alright, say less, he became a B-level Beast Tamer at 24, which is still something to be proud of."

If we only mention a 24-year-old B-level Beast Tamer alone, it naturally has a reason to be proud, but now, with a comparison to a 17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer, Franklin’s title seems a bit dull.

"There’s no need for Qiao Sang to step in. Even if I face him, I can defeat him."

"Is this a competition of power? It’s a competition of who is younger. If this were about strength, I wouldn’t necessarily lose to him either."

"Exactly, there are many A-level Beast Tamers participating in this competition, it’s definitely not his turn as a B-level Beast Tamer to be arrogant."

The Imperial Beastmaster Academy folks didn’t fear being heard at all, chatting freely as they left the restaurant.

The entire restaurant was silent for two seconds, as the people from the interstellar top schools seemed to snap back to reality, and debates erupted:

"What does Aisling mean by the last sentence? What does she mean by ’Franklin only recently became a B-level Beast Tamer and doesn’t even have an Emperor Level Pet Beast?’ Is she implying that the 17-year-old Beast Tamer named Qiao Sang has an Emperor Level Pet Beast?"

"A 17-year-old B-level Beast Tamer? This, this must be the Holy Beast Body!"

"No, do you really believe someone can become a B-level Beast Tamer at the age of 17?"

"There’s no reason for the people from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy to lie about this, besides, people from Yuliandun know this person too."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the people from Yuliandun.

The people from Yuliandun looked bewildered.

What they didn’t mention was, back when they heard news about Qiao Sang from Chao Su Star, there was a rumor in their school about her. It was said that Qiao Sang initially applied to their school, but was rejected by Dean Gilbert Heron.

After handling the slew of inquiries, the people from Yuliandun tacitly pulled out their phones and sent messages to their respective groups:

[Does anyone remember Qiao Sang, the Beast Tamer who nurtured the Bond Evolution form of Little Steel Falcon, did she really apply to our school and got rejected by Dean Gilbert?]

Even though each group was different, the people in the groups were either Yuliandun master’s students, doctoral students, or teachers—in short, all were from Yuliandun.

Quickly, responses came pouring in:

[It’s true, Dean Li from Spirit Rune Academy himself said so, he’s Qiao Sang’s teacher]

[Why suddenly talk about this?] 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

[Qiao Sang is now a B-level Beast Tamer]

[What?!]

[???]

[I remember she was a freshman when she was at our school, isn’t she supposed to be in her first year?]

[Where do you hear this gossip from?]

People who hadn’t spoken before in the group suddenly chimed in.

[It’s what the people from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy said, she’s now a student in the Emperor Class at their school]

[Ah, this... Dean Gilbert must be blind!]

The person who posted this quickly deleted their message, realizing there were teachers in the group.

However, the teachers in the group quickly posted:

[Look at the fine mess Dean Gilbert’s old fuddy-duddy must have caused!!!]

...

Chao Su Star.

"Achoo!"

In a lavishly decorated office, Gilbert suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and looked at the blond man sitting on the sofa, saying:

"This Interstellar School Beast Fighting Competition might affect the quality of registration for the next batch of students, keep an eye out on it, and if the delegation needs any resources, provide them first."
