Chapter 179: National School Beastmaster League
Chapter 179: National School Beastmaster League
Dead memories suddenly attacked.
Qiao Sang finally realized that this Shi Gaofeng was not the real one, but a Phantom Water Sprite in disguise...
Apart from the different voice, there was no noticeable difference in appearance.
"Berry!"
Pierceberry’s round eyes widened, and the spines on its body stood up.
"Shi Gaofeng" quickly covered his mouth, looking pitifully at Pierceberry and then at Qiao Sang.
Although she couldn't understand what Pierceberry was saying, Qiao Sang could guess the meaning from their actions.
"Don't worry, your owner has already told me he found a Phantom Water Sprite. Don't blame it", Qiao Sang reassured Pierceberry.
"Berry."
Pierceberry’s spines instantly relaxed.
"Huanhuan!" The “Shi Gaofeng” beside them perked up, calling out happily.
Qiao Sang: "……"
She could bet that Shi Gaofeng was in for it now...
"Berry!" Pierceberry placed its paws on its hips, scolding the “Shi Gaofeng.”
And the “Shi Gaofeng” crouched in front of it like a three-year-old, nodding occasionally.
Qiao Sang couldn't bear to watch. She could already imagine Fierce Dragon Zheng exposing the “Shi Gaofeng” in a second.
She silently mourned for Shi Gaofeng for a moment... Qiao Sang then summoned Fangy to the side.
"Tooth!"
Fangy immediately rubbed against Qiao Sang, happy to be out.
Qiao Sang smiled and patted its head.
Fangy usually stayed by her side, but now, whenever she went out, it had to stay in the Beastmaster Codex. It wasn’t just Fangy who wasn’t used to it; she herself wasn’t either.
The heat was almost gone, but once the news of Flame Listener having a Psychic-type ability spread, Fangy would have to stay in the Beastmaster Codex for a long time again.
As long as the second Flame Listener didn’t appear, Fangy would likely be surrounded by onlookers whenever it went out. Maybe it should just dye its fur and change its appearance... Qiao Sang looked at the luxurious fur in front of her, lost in thought.
"Fangy"
Fangy felt a chill run through its body.
"Qiao Sang, you’re up early", a voice interrupted Qiao Sang’s thoughts.
"I’m just three minutes ahead of you", Qiao Sang turned to the source of the voice. "How did your mission go?"
"It was perfect. Little Flame performed much better this time, and the mission issuer even wanted to book Little Flame again, but I refused", Wang Yao said with a smug look as he walked up to Qiao Sang.
"Blaze", Flamebird raised its head proudly.
"Why did you refuse?" Qiao Sang asked.
"The mission was just to train Little Flame’s patience. You don’t know, during battle competitions, if the opponent is willing to face us head-on, it’s fine, but if they like to defend, Little Flame gets irritated quickly and sometimes doesn’t listen to my commands, making it easy for the opponent to seize an opportunity. Last year, I lost to Lu Mai from Litan Middle School because of this."
"Now, after my training, Little Flame’s patience is much better, so there’s no need to take such a boring mission anymore."
"Blaze."
Flamebird raised its already high head even higher.
"So, you must have gotten a five-star review this time. It looks like Fierce Dragon Zheng won’t single you out", Qiao Sang laughed.
"No, it was a four-star review", Wang Yao’s face fell.
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
Wang Yao was furious. "Because I refused to let Little Flame model again, that guy deducted a star from me!"
Qiao Sang: "……"
"But it doesn’t matter. I’m definitely the best at completing missions, aside from you", Wang Yao said, then turned to look at the nearby “Shi Gaofeng” and whispered with glee:
"I can guarantee that Shi Gaofeng’s mission will definitely get a bad review. This guy used to brag in the group chat every time he got a good review."
"It's been five whole days, and he hasn't shown up in the group chat since the first day. And he didn't even send the promised eight-pack abs photo."
Wang Yao got more and more excited as he spoke: "I'll go ask him about it."
Qiao Sang's eyelid twitched, and she advised, "Forget it, Fierce Dragon Zheng will be here soon, and we should start preparing for the training."
Wang Yao thought for a moment and decided that mocking Shi Gaofeng could wait, so he agreed.
Qiao Sang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Phantom Water Sprite, I can only help you so much...
...
Ten minutes later.
Everyone had gathered.
Zheng Guoping held a tablet and began his critique: "I won't say much about Qiao Sang. She completed her first mission successfully and even got a Five-Star Review. Look at you all. In an entire year, how many of you have even completed a single mission, let alone get a Five-Star Review?"
"I've completed ten", Wang Yao said.
"I've completed eight", Xu Yajie said softly.
Zheng Guoping's temple throbbed. He was about to give them a good scolding but then remembered their decent performance on this mission. He shifted his gaze to "Shi Gaofeng."
"Shi Gaofeng" blinked innocently and looked back at him.
"And you? How many times have you completed a mission?" Zheng Guoping asked coldly.
"Shi Gaofeng" opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Xu Yajie suddenly chimed in: "He can't speak right now. He did so poorly on this mission that he cried his voice hoarse at home."
"Ha..." Wang Yao couldn't help but laugh.
What a ridiculous excuse. Only a fool would believe that... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
"Hmph", Zheng Guoping sneered. "Do you think crying hoarse will change the outcome of this mission? One-star review. You managed to remove someone's eight-pack abs while doing liposuction. I've never had such a terrible student!"
"Shi Gaofeng" blinked innocently.
"You need to understand that the School Team doesn't need you. There are plenty of people waiting to take your place. Do you realize how many are eager to fill your spot? There's the National School Beastmaster League in two months. If you keep performing like this, I'll have to consider replacing you." Zheng Guoping said sternly.
The National School Beastmaster League... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.
Ever since Vice Principal talked to her about the Middle School Beastmaster Combat Competition, she had done extensive research online.
The National School Beastmaster League is the oldest and most extensive middle school Beastmaster competition in the country.
It is a centralized tournament covering all provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions.
The competition is divided into three stages: the Provincial Tournament, the Regional Tournament, and the Finals.
Litan Middle School's goal is to win the Provincial Tournament, which is the first stage.
There are many Provincial School Beastmaster Competitions, but this one receives the most attention and has the highest prestige.
If you can break through the Provincial Tournament and place in the top three in the Finals, you won't need to take the College Entrance Exam or worry about the Direct Admission Line. Top universities will be lining up to recruit you.
It's a very prestigious competition.
Zheng Guoping frowned and said, "This time, you'll run twenty laps around the school track. Next time, it won't be as simple as running. Do you understand?"
"Shi Gaofeng" blinked but didn't say anything.
Zheng Guoping's veins bulged, and he could no longer suppress his anger. He shouted, "Even if your voice is hoarse, you can still nod or shake your head! I'm asking you again, do you understand?"
"Shi Gaofeng" was startled by the sudden shout and quickly nodded. "Huanhuan!"
Indeed... Qiao Sang wasn't surprised at all.
