Chapter 124: Is This a Fireball?
Under various temptations, Qiao Sang straightened her attitude and answered whatever Vice Principal asked.
"Do you think there might be any other reasons besides energy value and intimacy that led to Fangflare's evolution into a new form?"
"Could it have something to do with the Evolving Flame Elixir?" Qiao Sang speculated.
Other Fangflares evolved using a Fire Evolution Stone, but Fangy relied on the Evolving Flame Elixir. It was hard not to consider this factor.
Liu Yao thought about it seriously and realized it was indeed possible. Although both promoted evolution, the components of the Evolving Flame Elixir were vastly different from those of the Evolution Stone.
It was known that some familiars could evolve into different forms depending on the time of day they evolved, let alone the influence of the evolution materials.
"Anything else?" Liu Yao asked, eager for more insights.
"Could it be influenced by Professor Xian's Spatial Shift?" Qiao Sang suggested.
Liu Yao was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Because the evolved form of Fangflare now includes the Psychic type", Qiao Sang explained.
"Wow..." Liu Yao fell silent for several seconds, digesting this information.
The Psychic type, it actually gained a Psychic type...
This meant that the research would attract attention not just from the Yuhua Region, and its value was even more significant than he had imagined.
The selection of the research team members would have to be handled with extreme caution.
All these speculations, though fierce, were actually off the mark, leading the future research team down many wrong paths.
Of course, that was a matter for later.
...
Training Field 2.
Qiao Sang returned here in high spirits.
As soon as she entered, she saw the two teachers in a heated argument.
"What's going on?" Qiao Sang asked, tapping Jin Fanfei on the shoulder out of curiosity.
This tap drew the attention of the students who were already surrounding the arguing teachers.
Qiao Sang was a bit puzzled by the sudden attention. Why were they looking at her instead of the commotion?
Noticing Qiao Sang's arrival, Jin Fanfei's expression turned complicated, and he whispered, "The group assignments were just announced, and you've been placed in the Individual Combat Team."
Qiao Sang felt a surge of happiness. Nice, the teachers really had an eye for talent. Even though she hadn't completed all the tests, they still recognized her strength.
But why did this have anything to do with the current situation?
The next second, Jin Fanfei clarified her confusion.
"Teacher Qin wants you in the Individual Combat Team, while Teacher Luo wants you in the Individual Coordination Team, so they're arguing about it."
So, this was all because she was too good.
Qiao Sang felt a mix of emotions. Just two months ago, she had been called to the office for a scolding because of her poor grades, and now she was being fought over by two teachers.
"What about you? Which group were you assigned to?" Qiao Sang asked.
Jin Fanfei replied with a grim face, "I've been selected for the Team Combat Team."
While she felt sympathy for her roommate not getting her preferred group, being assigned to the Team Combat Team was indeed a good choice given Ballpuff's abilities.
Qiao Sang was about to offer some comfort when she felt two intense gazes on her.
Looking up, she saw both teachers staring at her intently.
"Qiao Sang, you're back just in time. Do you want to go to the Combat Team or the Harmony Group?" Luo Qian asked, his anger simmering beneath a forced smile.
He hadn't expected Qin Wen to be so devious, directly asking the Vice Principal to place her in the Combat Team. But it didn't matter; if Qiao Sang wanted to join his group, he would do whatever it took to get her!
Most students would have stuttered under the scrutiny of two teachers, but not Qiao Sang. She almost didn't even think before she spoke.
"Of course, the Combat Team."
Luo Qian: "……"
At least pretend to hesitate!
……
After the groups were formed, the 12 people's training was split up.
Both the Individual Combat Team and the Team Combat Team followed Qin Wen to the training ground.
Among the six people, Qiao Sang knew three of them.
Besides Jin Fanfei, Lu Liangye was also assigned to the Team Combat Team, and another person, Lu You, was in the Individual Combat Team.
"Everyone's abilities were tested yesterday, except for one person." Qin Wen said with a serious expression. "Qiao Sang, step forward."
Qiao Sang obediently took a step forward.
"Everyone had a match with me yesterday. Since you were absent, we'll make up for it today." Qin Wen said, forming hand seals to summon Tongue Drip.
Qiao Sang shuddered when she saw Tongue Drip; this tongue had left a deep impression on her.
"Tooth!"
Fangy called out excitedly from the side.
It had been too long since Fangy last fought and didn't even know how strong it had become.
Feeling Fangy's excitement, Qiao Sang's heart began to race.
The last proper match she had was a month ago. During this month, Fangy had trained diligently, using up all its energy and then replenishing it to continue training.
Now, Spark had reached Mastery, learned Mars Rain, and even evolved into a Flame Listener. The progress was significant.
She also wanted to test Fangy's current strength.
After exchanging a tacit glance, Fangy jumped in front of Qiao Sang and stared fiercely at Tongue Drip.
"Tooth!"
"Does everyone think Qiao Sang can attack Teacher Qin's Tongue Drip?"
"Probably, since her familiar is an Intermediate Familiar, it's definitely stronger than ours. But just attacking it won't be enough; at best, she might lose less badly."
"Maybe she can win?"
The person discussing this was taken aback and turned around, laughing. "Lu You, I always thought you were the cool and aloof type. I didn't expect you to be so funny."
Lu You: "……"
He was just giving his opinion. Although he thought the chances were slim, hadn't everyone been surprised when Qiao Sang's Fangflare beat Hou Xiangyu's Scale Controller in the Newcomer Competition?
"You can attack first", Qin Wen said.
Qiao Sang nodded and didn't hesitate. Fangy's mouth opened, and a fiery ball about the size of a basketball shot out mercilessly toward the opposite side.
Tongue Drip was standing leisurely in place, but when it saw the terrifying attack about the size of its face, it quickly adjusted its energy to try to form a water wall for defense.
However, Fangy's attack was too fast, almost launching the moment Qiao Sang nodded.
By the time a small water wall had just begun to form in front of Tongue Drip, the fiery ball was only about 2 meters away.
Qin Wen's heart tightened. With years of experience, he knew that even a fully formed water wall wouldn't be able to completely block this energy-filled flame.
"Jump!" Qin Wen quickly commanded.
Tongue Drip didn't hesitate and immediately followed the Beastmaster's order, leaping high into the air.
The reaction was fast and the jump was high, but the energy in the fiery ball was too terrifying.
The basketball-sized flame exploded on the ground, the fire waves rolling outward from the point of impact. The scorching tongues of fire reached up and touched Tongue Drip's feet.
"Tongue, Tongue!!!"
Tongue Drip screamed in pain, jumping even higher due to the flames.
Everyone was stunned. Holy crap! She hit it on the first attack?!
"Is that a Fireball?" someone swallowed hard.
"Bullshit! Look at that thing; it doesn't look like a Fireball at all! That's a Grand Fireball!" Lu Liangye shouted loudly.
Everyone laughed in delight.
