Chapter 224: It Needs to Recover!
Chapter 224: It Needs to Recover!
Kong Nanhai nearly spat out blood when he heard those words!
The Flame Listener had just recovered after the previous match, and now, without even moving, it was hit by a Flame Whirl and needed to recover again!
Weren't we supposed to recover only after every five matches? Why aren't you following the rules?!
"Why?" Kong Nanhai stopped in his tracks and asked Qiao Sang, unable to contain his frustration.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "What?"
"Why does the Flame Listener need to recover when it wasn't injured and didn't expend any energy?" Kong Nanhai asked, puzzled.
Qiao Sang scratched his head. "Your Toxic Mist spell made Fangy inhale a bit of it. Although the amount was small, it's still a toxin, and I don't think it's good for it to stay in its body for too long."
"Yah?"
Fangy tilted its head at its Beastmaster's words.
It's poisoned?
Kong Nanhai: "!!!"
You noticed such a tiny amount! So you're this cautious, huh?!
...
Kong Nanhai returned to his seat.
"What happened?" Zhou Ren pointed to the School Doctor by the Flame Listener and asked, "What did you two talk about? Why did she call for the School Doctor this time?"
The other students gathered around.
"We misjudged this junior", Kong Nanhai muttered.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Ren asked, confused.
Kong Nanhai took a deep breath. "I initially thought she was arrogant. Arrogant people are often overconfident, so I firmly believed that even if she noticed the Flame Listener was injured in the first four matches, she would wait until the fifth match to have it recover and replenish its energy."
"But after the match, I realized she is actually cautious and rational, completely different from the arrogant impression she gave."
"Just a small amount of Toxic Mist was inhaled by the Flame Listener, and it didn't show any signs of poisoning, but she noticed it."
Cautious and rational? Are you sure you're talking about that crazy junior?
Zhou Ren looked at Kong Nanhai for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Where are your glasses?"
Kong Nanhai was taken aback. "In the classroom."
"Next time, remember to wear them wherever you go", Zhou Ren said earnestly.
Kong Nanhai: "???"
"Let's get back to the topic", Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up. "Since Plan A didn't work, we'll go with Plan B."
"What's Plan B?" a classmate from the back leaned over to ask.
"What do you think is the biggest advantage this junior has in challenging the entire school?" Zhou Ren didn't answer but countered with a question.
A classmate thought for a moment and said, "She's strong, and we're weak."
That's true, but it's a bit harsh... Zhou Ren scanned the students around him and slowly said:
"The School Doctor can continuously help her familiar recover, but the energy stored in the Charger Bug, as well as the fruits and energy liquids in the infirmary, are limited."
"Once the resources for replenishing energy and stamina are used up, she won't be able to keep going."
The classmate in the back suddenly understood. "So, we don't have to do anything, just wait for the infirmary's resources to run out."
"No, that's too slow. Tell the students from other classes that whoever goes up next should have the School Doctor help their familiars recover after the match", Zhou Ren emphasized, pushing his glasses up. "Recover in every aspect."
Another classmate seemed to have an idea and looked at Kong Nanhai. "Didn't your Golden Armor Snake get injured? Why didn't you have the School Doctor check it out just now?"
Kong Nanhai was taken aback. "I saw that my Golden Armor Snake wasn't seriously injured, so I planned to let it rest in the Beastmaster Codex for a while and give it an Elixir Fruit when we go back to the classroom."
The Beastmaster Codex not only allows the bonding of familiars but can also continuously help familiars recover their condition, albeit at a slower rate.
"It's because of people like you that this underclassman can participate in so many matches", Zhou Ren sighed. "Go find the School Doctor to help Golden Armor Snake recover after this."
Kong Nanhai didn't say anything, silently agreeing.
……
On the field.
Two withered Vine Whips whipped through the air like whips, moving so fast that they produced a whistling sound with each strike.
Fangy remained calm in the face of the relentless attacks. Teleporting to a position in the air where the Vine Whips couldn't reach, its eyes emitted a blue light, and the Vine Whips in mid-air were immediately frozen in place.
In the next second, the two Vine Whips, controlled by Psychic Power, reversed direction and shot toward Wilted Vine, quickly binding it tightly.
A moment later, a fiery red energy ball, brimming with immense power, struck Wilted Vine with perfect accuracy.
"Ku ku!!!"
Wilted Vine writhed and let out a piercing scream. Soon, it collapsed.
"Wilted Vine has lost its fighting ability. Qiao Sang wins", the female teacher announced without emotion.
Having to announce the same result every minute or so had numbed her.
"Fangy, this is already the 185th opponent. Do you want to continue?" Qiao Sang asked.
It wasn't that she didn't want the points; it was just that the battles were taking a long time, and her legs were starting to feel numb...
"Ya ya!"
Fangy nodded.
Though the opponents were weak, it could feel its own improvement. In the later battles, it could instinctively make the right moves.
This meant that the fights weren't in vain, and it was getting stronger!
She had no idea that Fangy wouldn't get tired even when she was exhausted. It's not human, of course... Qiao Sang thought to herself, then turned to the female teacher to request assistance in restoring Fangy's condition.
After five consecutive matches, all against Intermediate Familiars, Fangy's energy was likely more than halfway depleted.
Soon, the School Doctor approached. This time, he didn't have the Charger Bug with the white coat on his shoulder.
The School Doctor looked frustrated as he walked up. "Qiao Sang, I might not be able to help Flame Listener recover anymore."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Why not?"
"All the resources for restoring energy and stamina, as well as healing familiars, are used up", the School Doctor sighed. "Even the energy stored in the Charger Bug has been depleted."
The energy stored in the Charger Bug isn't infinite; it expands as the Charger Bug's Trait level increases.
Each time the stored energy is used up, it needs to be replenished to be used again.
"I see. So, I'll end my demonstration here..." Qiao Sang paused mid-sentence, turning to Fangy. "Fangy, you heard that. We can't restore your condition anymore. Even so, do you still want to continue?"
"Ya!"
Fangy nodded resolutely.
It wanted to continue!
Just as she expected... Qiao Sang smiled. "You're impossible, but don't overdo it if you can't handle it. There are a lot of people watching."
"Ya ya!"
