The entire training field fell silent.
The Thornberry Beast was frozen in place, standing stiffly without daring to move an inch.
The culprit, Shi Gaofeng, turned around, ready to start running laps around the field, but Zheng Guoping was quick to grab him by the collar.
"Huan huan?"
Shi Gaofeng turned his head, looking confused.
Zheng Guoping was silent for a while, then asked, "What does 'Huan huan' an?"
Shi Gaofeng was about to explain when he suddenly rembered sothing, his face showing panic.
He covered his mouth with both hands as sweat began to pour from his forehead, dripping continuously.
Rather than sweat, it looked more like water. The flow increased, turning into what seed like a small downpour.
Zheng Guoping stared silently at this unscientific display of sweat.
He didn't imdiately connect Shi Gaofeng to the phantom water baby.
On one hand, there are so many pet beasts in the world, each with their own unique traits and abilities. It’s hard to instantly associate strange occurrences with a specific pet beast.
On the other hand, he never thought Shi Gaofeng would have the guts to pull sothing like this...
Although he had his suspicions, Zheng Guoping still found it unlikely.
He asked again, "Let ask you again, what did you an by what you just said?"
Shi Gaofeng looked pitifully at the Thornberry Beast, seeking help.
The Thornberry Beast froze even more under his gaze.
"Yap..."
Yabao couldn't stand watching this and wanted to help translate.
Qiao Sang quickly covered his mouth with lightning speed.
"Yan."
With Yabao silenced, the Fla Sparrow began translating instead.
Upon understanding, Wang Yao wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, her expression slowly twisting.
The pets understood, but the people didn’t...
Zheng Guoping's face darkened as he clenched his teeth and called out Shi Gaofeng's na.
Shi Gaofeng and the Thornberry Beast both trembled.
"You two, co with !" Zheng Guoping said, then looked at Xu Yajie, who was trying hard to stay unnoticed.
"You too, co with !"
Xu Yajie: ...
The large training ground was left with only Qiao Sang and Wang Yao.
From outside, Zheng Guoping’s angry roars could occasionally be heard.
Wang Yao finally couldn’t hold back her laughter: "Hahaha! What on earth was Shi Gaofeng thinking when he ca up with such a ridiculous idea? How did he even get into Shengshui High School?"
"But Shi Gaofeng was a special admission. He only scored a bit over 400 on the entrance exam. Now that I think about it, it's kind of understandable that he'd co up with sothing like this. Hahaha, I can't take it anymore..."
Qiao Sang: ...
She felt a little insulted...
---
That evening, back at ho.
Little Treasure couldn’t wait to put on the virtual helt and get started.
Qiao Sang watched, feeling quite satisfied at how skilled Little Treasure had beco in knowing where the power button was.
Yabao, after finishing its energy pills, went to the courtyard as usual to practice his skills.
Unlike before, the 16 Fla Hounds, including its main body, split into two groups, one practiced Fire Fang, the other practiced Psychic Powers.
Qiao Sang, after several days, picked up her book again and started studying.
She had to admit that Wang Yao’s words this morning had given her a bit of a wake-up call...
As soone who scored only 359 on the high school entrance exam, Qiao Sang felt it was ti to put in so effort.
What if she didn’t need to win against Litan High School to qualify for the entrance test to the elite school, but could get in based on her academic scores? It wasn’t impossible.
After all, the knowledge at Beastmaster High School was vastly different from middle school.
There were still three years until the college entrance exams. Wasn’t it just about morizing books and doing practice questions? Qiao Sang felt confident.
But after only half an hour, her mind began to drift away from the book.
She rembered what Zheng Guolong had said that morning about the National Campus Beast Mastery League
With her golden finger, plus the talents of Yabao and Little Treasure , winning the tournant wasn’t an impossible dream. (Ahahaha, she gave up fast😆)
After all, the competition consisted of high school students around her age. Yabao’s advanced skill, teor Rain, could probably wipe out a whole group.
If she could win, why waste three years of hard study? Wouldn’t it be better to get an early recomndation?
In her previous life, there were students who got admitted to top universities as early as their first year of high school. Why couldn’t she be one of them in this life?
With that thought, Qiao Sang couldn’t focus on her book anymore. She stood in front of Little Treasure , who was wearing the virtual helt, for five seconds.
"Xun?"
Little Treasure took off the helt, looking confused.
It hadn’t been two hours yet...
The virtual helt could sense the outside world. If soone was within a ter, the interface would give a prompt.
"I think you should put off practicing Shadow Manipulation for now. Let’s learn Will-o'-the-Wisp first." Qiao Sang said.
Learning Shadow Manipulation with the virtual helt was a gamble in itself, and even if it wasn’t mastered imdiately, it wouldn’t matter.
But Will-o'-the-Wisp was a skill that had to be learned during the early stage.
If she wasn’t entering the National Campus Beast Mastery League, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but if she wanted to compete and achieve good results, Little Treasure's strength had to be considered.
After all, the students who made it to the finals were high schoolers with two interdiate-level pet beasts.
Facing them with only Yabao would an they could study him thoroughly.
Even if Yabao was powerful, if he t an opponent with the right tactics and countering abilities, there was still a chance of losing.
To be cautious, Little Treasure had to develop early.
"Xun..."
Little Treasure looked like he had been struck by lightning.
"From now on, after absorbing the materials every day, when the ring can’t absorb anymore, you can take a break." Qiao Sang added.
The ring could only absorb a limited amount of energy each day before it beca saturated.
"Xun xun."
Little Treasure pointed at the virtual helt.
"You have to absorb materials and practice hypnosis and psychic powers every day. That’s tiring enough. Don’t practice Shadow Manipulation for now. We need to balance work and rest." Qiao Sang replied.
"Xun!"
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure thumped his chest, insisting he wasn’t tired.
For a mont, Qiao Sang thought she saw Yabao’s shadow in Little Treasure. But then again, Little Treasure wasn’t usually like this...
"Don’t tell you’ve gotten addicted?" Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure quickly shook his head, denying it.
How could it be? He just felt like there was still so much ti to do other things!
Qiao Sang thought for a mont and said, "Alright, after you’ve finished absorbing materials and practicing your skills, if there’s ti left, you can teach Yabao teleportation."
No matter how much a pet beast trained its stamina or speed, it couldn’t beat having a good skill.
Even if it beca the fastest runner at school, so what?
In battles, moves like high-speed spinning, Quick Attack, or Fla Charge would always be faster than running.
When it ca to pure speed, teleportation was the best. Whether dodging or wearing down an opponent, it was an unbeatable move.
If Yabao could learn it, it would be ideal.
"Xun..."
Little Treasure was dumbfounded.
Unwilling to give up, he pointed at the helt again.
"Xun xun?"
Qiao Sang replied, "You can continue learning Shadow Manipulation after you’ve mastered Will-o'-the-Wisp."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Little Treasure wasted no ti pulling out the materials needed for Will-o'-the-Wisp from the ring and setting them up.
Qiao Sang: ...
Addicted after all...
