Chapter 188: Chapter 179: Really Addicted
The entire training field fell silent.
The Thistle Berry’s spikes stood rigidly on end, frozen in place, not daring to move a muscle.
The instigator “Shi Gaofeng” turned to start running on the sports field, but Zheng Baoping was quick to react, grabbing him by the collar.
“Huanhuan?”
“Shi Gaofeng” turned his head, a puzzled look on his face.
Zheng Guoping fell silent for a long while before asking, “What does Huanhuan an?”
“Shi Gaofeng” was just about to explain when he suddenly rembered sothing. Panic flashed across his face as he covered his mouth with his hands, and sweat began dripping down his forehead.
It wasn’t so much sweat as it was water, and the more it flowed, the more it was like rain.
Zheng Guoping watched the nonsensical sweating phenonon and fell silent again.
He didn’t imdiately connect Shi Gaofeng to the ‘Water Baby’ phenonon.
On one hand, there were many Pet Beasts in the world, each with their strange characteristics and abilities; it was rare for soone to link a bizarre occurrence to a specific Pet Beast imdiately.
On the other hand, he had never thought Shi Gaofeng had the audacity…
Though he had his suspicions, Zheng Guoping still found it unlikely, and asked again, “I’m asking you again, what did you an by what you just said?”
“Shi Gaofeng” looked helplessly at the Thistle Berry, seeking assistance.
The Thistle Berry stiffened even more under his gaze.
“Yaobao…”
Yaobao couldn’t stand idly by and attempted to help with the translation.
Qiao Sang swiftly covered its mouth as quickly as lightning striking before one can cover one’s ears.
“Great Fla Sparrow.”
As soon as Yaobao fell silent, the Great Fla Sparrow started to translate.
Wang Yao understood and wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, her expression beginning to contort.
While the Pet Beasts understood, the humans couldn’t… The mont Zheng Guoping realized, his face darkened, and he called out Shi Gaofeng’s na through gritted teeth.
“Shi Gaofeng” and the Thistle Berry shuddered all over.
“You two, co out here!” After saying that, Zheng Guoping glanced toward Xu Yajie, who was trying to make herself less noticeable: “And you, co out here too!”
Xu Yajie: “…”
The vast training field was left with only Qiao Sang and Wang Yao.
Zheng Guoping’s roaring could be occasionally heard from outside the door.
Wang Yao couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing, “Hahahaha, how on earth did Shi Gaofeng manage to get into Shengshui Middle School with such a brain, coming up with such harebrained ideas.”
“But Shi Gaofeng was a special admission, he only scored just over 400 points on the middle school exams, thinking about it, it does seem reasonable that he could co up with such an idea, hahahaha, I can’t take it, I’m going to die laughing…”
Qiao Sang: “…”
Feeling sowhat insulted…
…
Later that night, back at ho,
Xiao Xunbao couldn’t wait to put on the Virtual Helt and turn it on.
Qiao Sang didn’t expect Xiao Xunbao to have such strong learning abilities, knowing exactly where the switches were… Qiao Sang watched Xiao Xunbao operate the Virtual Helt with admiration.
After eating its Energy Pills, Yaobao went out to the courtyard to practice its Skill release as usual, but what was different from before was that the 16 Fla Listening Dogs, including the main body, split into two groups—half practicing Fla Tooth and the other half practicing Telekinesis.
After several days, Qiao Sang picked up her books to study again.
She had to admit that Wang Yao’s words that morning had struck a nerve…
As soone who only scored 359 points on her middle school exams, Qiao Sang felt she had to make an effort.
It wasn’t impossible for her to get into a top-tier institution by acing the cultural exam, without relying on a win against Li Tang Middle School to qualify for the test.
After all, the knowledge at Beast Taming High School differed significantly from middle school, and with three years until the college entrance examination, it was just morizing and practicing… Qiao Sang felt it wasn’t a big problem for her.
However, after just half an hour, Qiao Sang’s mind was no longer on her books.
She rembered what Zheng Baolong had said that morning about the National Campus Beast Taming Competition.
With her own Golden Finger, in addition to Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao’s talents, it seed not impossible to secure a victory in the National Campus Beast Taming Competition.
After all, the competitors in this contest were high school students of similar ages, and Yaobao’s high-tier skill “Mars Rain” could probably wipe out a swath of them in an instant.
If they could win, why would they study hard for three years? Wouldn’t it be nicer to be admitted early with a guaranteed offer?
In his previous life, there were indeed super geniuses who got admitted to top-tier academies in their first year of high school. Why couldn’t he be one of those people this ti around?
Thinking this way, Qiao Sang couldn’t concentrate on his book anymore, so he stood in front of the little Treasure-seeking Ghost, who was wearing the Virtual Helt, for five seconds.
“Xun?”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost took off the Virtual Helt with a confused expression.
Two hours hadn’t passed yet…
The Virtual Helt could sense the outside world. If soone was within one ter, the interface of the helt would give a prompt.
“I think practicing ‘Shadow Control’ can wait. Let’s master ‘Ghost Fire’ first,” said Qiao Sang.
Mastering ‘Shadow Control’ with the Virtual Helt was a gamble, and it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t learn it now, but ‘Ghost Fire’ was a skill that absolutely had to be learned at the Beginner Stage.
If they weren’t participating in the National School Beast Taming Competition, it would be fine, but if they were joining and desired good results, the strength of the little Treasure-seeking Ghost had to be taken into account.
After all, those who made it to the finals of the National School Beast Taming Competition were high school students with two mid-level Pet Beasts.
If only Yaobao was fighting them, it would be easy to be thoroughly analyzed from all angles. Even if Yaobao was powerful, if it ca across an opponent that had both attribute suppression and tactical analysis, defeat was still a possibility.
To be cautious, it was better to get the little Treasure-seeking Ghost to develop quickly…
“Xun…”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost was thunderstruck.
“From now on, we’ll absorb materials every day. When the circle can’t absorb anymore, we’ll rest,” said Qiao Sang.
The circle would beco saturated after absorbing a certain amount of energy each day and could not absorb indefinitely.
“Xun Xun.”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost pointed at the Virtual Helt.
Qiao Sang replied, “You’re already absorbing materials and practicing hypnotism and telekinesis every day. That’s exhausting. Let’s put ‘Shadow Control’ on hold for now and make sure we balance work and rest.”
“Xun!”
“Xun Xun!”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost imdiately patted its chest to show it wasn’t afraid of hard work.
In an instant, Qiao Sang thought he saw Yaobao’s shadow in the little Treasure-seeking Ghost, but then he reconsidered—this wasn’t characteristic of the little Treasure-seeking Ghost…
“You’re not addicted to it, are you?” Qiao Sang asked suspiciously.
“Xun Xun!”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost quickly shook its head in denial.
How could that be? It just felt it had lots of free ti to do other things!
Qiao Sang thought for a mont and said, “Then, after your circle has finished absorbing and you’ve completed your skill practice, if you still have ti, teach Yaobao ‘Teleportation.’
No matter how well a Pet Beast is trained in stamina or speed, nothing compares to a skill.
What good is it to be the fastest running Pet Beast in the school?
During a battle competition, with high-speed rotation, a flash of lightning, ‘Blazing Charge’—which skill isn’t faster than running?
In terms of speed, ‘Teleportation’ is naturally the strongest and in combat, whether it’s for dodging or wearing down an opponent, it’s an unparalleled godly skill.
If Yaobao could learn it, that would be the best scenario.
“Xun…”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost was dumbstruck.
It pointed stubbornly at the helt again.
“Xun Xun?”
Qiao Sang answered, “Once you’ve mastered ‘Ghost Fire,’ you can continue with ‘Shadow Control.’
No sooner had he spoken than the little Treasure-seeking Ghost didn’t delay for a second, removed the circle, and started arranging the materials needed for ‘Ghost Fire.’
Qiao Sang: “…”
He really was addicted…
