[Pet Beast is affected by Immobilization Status, preventing it from using the last skill it used before entering this state for a certain period.]
Qiao Sang understood now.
The Paralyzed status ant being unable to move, while the Immobilization Status state ant being unable to use the last skill used before entering the state.
A sudden thought flashed through her mind: The nas are so similar, but the anings are completely different. I should rember this, feels like sothing that might show up on an exam later.
With that in mind, she re-read the introduction to the Immobilization Status one more ti before putting her phone down and refocusing on the Beast Taming Codex.
Looking further down, she noticed that Xiao Little Treasure had gained three new skills, just like when Yabao and Lubao evolved.
They were: Psychic Strike, Scare, and Misfortune Curse.
Psychic Headbutt was an advanced Psychic-type skill that concentrated ntal power into the head to attack the opponent, with a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch.
Wow, Little Treasure actually awakened a Psychic-type physical attack skill… While delighted, Qiao Sang couldn't help but feel a bit concerned.
She was happy because Psychic-type physical attack skills were extrely rare, and having one would surely bring unexpected advantages in battle.
She was worried because the power of any physical skill was sowhat linked to a pet beast’s body size.
She hadn't seen Psychic Headbutt used in reality yet and had no idea about its actual power. Sothing told her that with Little Treasure’s small fra, the impact might not be all that impressive.
"Looks like I’ll have to find a chance to test this move out first…"
Scare was an interdiate Ghost-type skill that attacked by startling the opponent with a sudden scream, with a certain chance of making the target flinch.
This one seed quite fitting for Little Treasure…
Finally, Qiao Sang looked at the last skill: Misfortune Curse.
Misfortune Curse was an advanced Ghost-type skill that reduced the user’s energy by one-third and caused the target to experience a streak of bad luck for a set period.
Ghost-type pet beasts weren't particularly popular, but those with curse-related skills were secretly in high demand.
In fact, when it ca to market value, pet beasts that could use curse-type skills were the most valuable among Ghost-types.
Got scolded by your boss? Rent one to place a curse.
Boyfriend/girlfriend cheated? Rent one to place a curse.
Lost a ga because a teammate suddenly went AFK? Rent one to place a curse.
In short, curse-type Ghost beasts had no trouble finding work.
Qiao Sang thought to herself: Looks like my range of business opportunities just expanded again…
She glanced at her remaining points: 6511.
After all the training and battles, Little Treasure’s total points had nearly reached 10,000. However, before giving Little Treasure the Dark Nether Crystal, she had entered the Beast Taming Codex and maxed out its level points to 9999, which left her with only this much remaining.
"Points really are a good thing… They’ve shortened the evolution ti so much." Qiao Sang mused silently.
The next second, she snapped back to reality.

The next morning, Qiao Sang woke up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
"Xun Xun!"
Just as she picked up her toothbrush, Little Treasure floated in with teary eyes.
"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang asked while brushing her teeth.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure lifted his little diamond-studded gloves, looking pitiful.
He couldn't wear them anymore!
Qiao Sang rinsed her mouth and reassured him, "It’s not a big deal. After the competition, I’ll get you a new pair custom-made."
"Xun Xun…"
Hearing this, Little Treasure showed an ‘I guess that’s the only option’ expression.
After washing up, Qiao Sang suddenly rembered sothing and picked up her phone to call her mother.
After two rings, the call connected.
"Hello, Mom."
"You’re calling today? What’s the occasion?" Her mother’s voice carried a smile.
"Nothing much, just wanted to tell you, Little Treasure evolved."
“…”
Why wasn’t she saying anything?
Qiao Sang waited a few more seconds, but her mother remained silent, so she said, "Hello?"
Ye Xiangting’s mind went blank.
Little Treasure evolved? What did that an?
Her daughter now had three high-level pet beasts?
Qiao Sang called out again.
Ye Xiangting snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and suppressed the overwhelming emotions surging in her heart.
"Do your best in the competition… Bring ho a championship!"
Qiao Sang chuckled.
"I’ll do my best."
"Oh, and send a picture of Little Treasure after his evolution."
"Huh? Why?"
"I want to post it on my social dia."
"…"
After chatting for a bit more, they hung up. Qiao Sang checked the ti: 8:12 AM.
Just then, her phone vibrated, it was an incoming call.
She looked at the screen. Vice Principal.
She answered, but before she could speak, she heard the vice principal’s voice:
"Qiao Sang, co straight to the first-floor hall later. We’ll be waiting for you there."
We? So, Teacher Sun was with the vice principal…
"Okay." Qiao Sang replied.

About ten minutes later, she carried Yabao and took the elevator down to the first floor.
The mont she reached the hall, she froze on the spot.
She saw over a dozen familiar faces.
"God Qiao!"
"Qiao Sang!"
"God Qiao!"
"Qiao Sang is here!"
Jin Feifan, Lu Liangye, Zheng Yining, Wang Jihang, Lu You, Wang Yao, Shi Gaofeng, Xu Yajie… Their eyes lit up as they crowded around her.

At the Zhongkong Pet Battle Arena,
Qiao Sang sat in the contestants' section, looking at the familiar faces in the audience wearing the sa school uniform as her, feeling slightly dazed.
She hadn’t expected Jin Feifan and the others to co all the way from Yuhua District just to be her cheering squad…
Was it really that easy to get leave from school? And did that an… they didn’t have to do their howork anymore?
anwhile, in the audience…
"Qiao Sang just looked over. Do you think she’s really touched right now?" Shi Gaofeng asked.
"I don’t know if she’s touched, but I do know you’re really excited." Wang Yao replied, finally unable to hold back her frustration.
"Why the hell are you wearing a wig?"
Shi Gaofeng smugly ran a hand through his wig.
"This is a nationally broadcasted event. Of course, I need to look stylish."
Wang Yao was speechless.
"And you think that spiky hairstyle looks good?"
"Of course! It makes us look more intimidating than the other schools!" After speaking, he turned to Xu Yajie.
"Right?"
"Right." Xu Yajie nodded and then silently pulled a giant afro wig out of his backpack and put it on.
Wang Yao: …
Seriously, is there no one normal in the senior team? The underclassn at least seem more reliable…
Just then, Lu Liangye leaned in and whispered, "Senior, could you ask where he bought that spiky wig? I think it looks kinda cool."
Wang Yao: ???

Five minutes later, a man in a white suit entered the arena, standing atop a dium-sized, predominantly white Flying-type pet beast.
After the usual rule announcent, the match-ups for the second stage of the national competition appeared on the virtual screen.
