Chapter 271: Golden Glove
Chapter 271: Golden Glove
How did she suddenly learn Rain Invocation? Qiao Sang was taken aback.
With Fangy and Treasure Seeker having already learned Advanced Skills at the Junior stage, Qiao Sang wasn’t particularly surprised that Lulu had learned Rain Invocation.
However, Lulu hadn’t learned it yesterday, and there hadn’t been any training today. How did Rain Invocation just happen? This left Qiao Sang a bit confused.
Even if it were like in novels where someone suddenly has an epiphany, there should have been some process of realization. But Lulu had spent the whole day in the Beastmaster Codex, doing nothing at all.
At that moment, Qiao Sang saw a string of data.
[Water Mist (small success 1902/2000) +]
Qiao Sang was taken aback; she remembered that when she checked the Beastmaster Codex last night, the Water Mist data was at 1677…
Numbers don’t lie, and she instantly understood what had happened.
Lulu must have been practicing in secret while she slept!
Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality, and she looked at Glacialia with a complex expression.
“Lu.”
Glacialia flicked its tail coldly.
It’s just Rain Invocation; it didn’t need any special training to learn it.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment. “...Impressive.”
“Lu.” Glacialia looked calm.
It’s just a basic operation.
Qiao Sang: “…”
While it was true that Lulu had practiced hard during the night to learn Rain Invocation, it couldn’t be denied that its talent was exceptional.
A normal Intermediate Beast wouldn’t learn an Advanced Skill even after 100 nights of practice.
It seemed that Lulu’s Evolution had indeed brought about some changes, at least in terms of talent…
Qiao Sang didn’t say anything more. That night, when she checked the Beastmaster Codex, she carefully memorized all of Glacialia’s data.
The next morning, as soon as she awoke, Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the Beastmaster Codex. Sure enough, the data had changed.
[Rain Invocation (Novice 43/100) +]
Qiao Sang looked at the changed data with a sense of admiration. Rain Invocation was an Advanced Skill, and each use consumed a significant amount of energy. Without the Energy Recovery Serum, practicing 40 times in one night was like training to the brink of exhaustion…
…
8:30 AM.
Holy Water High School.
As a contestant, Qiao Sang brought Treasure Seeker to the designated competition area.
There were several ongoing events, but almost everyone at the school track was gathered around the Bare-handed Tile Split competition venue.
“Do you guys really believe that Treasure Seeker knows a combat-type Tile Split?”
Although the news that Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunter Demon knew combat-type skills had spread throughout the school, not everyone believed it.
Especially those whose Bonded Beast Companions were Ghost-type and combat-type familiars found it hard to believe.
The most incompatible type with Ghost-type was combat-type.
A Ghost-type Companion Beast knowing combat-type skills felt as absurd as a mage engaging in close-quarters combat.
“What’s Treasure Seeker? Open your eyes and look— it’s a Treasure Hunter Demon!”
“...Wow, it’s only been a month since school started, and it’s already Evolved?”
“Compared to a Ghost-type Companion Beast knowing Tile Split, Evolution is nothing!”
“I just can’t believe this news. A Treasure Hunter Demon knowing Tile Split? It sounds impossible.”
“It is pretty far-fetched, but when I think about it, Qiao Sang is the Beastmaster of the Treasure Hunter Demon, so it’s not entirely out of the question.”
“Let me tell you this: if Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunter Demon can do Tile Split, then my Claw Crab can cast Shadow Orb.”
The speaker was a second-year boy who was about to participate in the Bare-handed Tile Split competition.
"Claw Crab knows Ghost-type Skills? You must be kidding!" the classmate beside him mocked.
Boy quickly retorted, "You know it’s a joke, so why did you believe that Ghost-type Companion Beasts can perform Tile Split?"
The classmate replied seriously, "That’s Qiao Sang’s Ghost-type Companion Beast. Can you even compare to him? When you manage to create a new Evolution type for your familiar and challenge over 200 people without losing, and the Police Station sends people to present you with a Banner of Honor, then I'll believe it. At that point, I won’t just believe that your Claw Crab can use Shadow Orb; I’ll even believe it can use Flame Jet."
Boy: "…"
He couldn’t argue with that…
"Seek."
Treasure Seeker stood at the designated spot, moving its claws back and forth, looking eager and ready.
"Mighty."
At that moment, the Mighty Monkey on the left sneered and called out.
Treasure Seeker turned to look, only to see a towering figure, several times its own size.
"Mighty."
Seeing the small creature look over, Mighty Monkey immediately flexed his well-developed biceps.
"Seek."
Treasure Seeker glanced at the other’s height and muscles, then looked down at its own short arms and legs. It pouted and instantly looked dejected.
"Treasure Seeker! Come on!" Qiao Sang, noticing Treasure Seeker’s change in mood, quickly shouted from the side. "Cheer up! Think about your Golden Glove!"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy cheered with all her might.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker’s eyes immediately filled with renewed determination.
"Haha, Qiao Sang, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but making a Ghost-type Companion Beast participate in Bare-handed Tile Split is not a battle", a muscular boy next to Qiao Sang chuckled. "I wonder if winning you in this event will get me the Teleportation Codex."
Before Qiao Sang could respond, the classmates who had come to cheer him on couldn’t hold back.
"What are you dreaming about!"
"Qiao Sang, that’s Liu Qijia from Class 9. His father is a Beastmaster who specializes in training combat-type familiars. Don’t agree to it so easily!"
"You must be crazy for the Secret Tome! Why don’t you win it through a proper battle!"
"What’s the big deal? Like Qiao Sang would lose to him!"
As the classmates argued back and forth, Qiao Sang spoke up, "If you win, I’ll give you the Secret Tome."
The surrounding classmates fell silent.
If Qiao Sang said it, he must be confident he’ll win!
Liu Qijia was taken aback. I was just joking, and you actually agreed?!
That’s just giving it away!
"Are you serious?" Liu Qijia asked, unsure.
"Of course", Qiao Sang nodded.
Liu Qijia’s eyes lit up with joy at the definite answer. Teleportation Codex, this is the Teleportation Codex! Once I get it, I can sell it and have enough resources for Mighty Monkey for at least three years!
He didn’t even consider the possibility of losing.
"But I have one condition", Qiao Sang said.
"Go ahead!" Liu Qijia said seriously.
Qiao Sang continued, "You know you have a good chance of winning, so it wouldn’t be fair to just bet on your win and give you the Secret Tome. How about this: if I win, you give me something too."
Liu Qijia asked nonchalantly, "What do you want?"
That’s more like it. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
Qiao Sang smiled, "How about the Golden Glove?"
"Deal!" Liu Qijia agreed without hesitation.
Compared to the Teleportation Codex, the Golden Glove was nothing.
Jin Fanfei, who had been quiet, stepped closer to Qiao Sang, worried, "Are you sure it’s okay?"
"It’s fine", Qiao Sang laughed. "Didn’t you hear what others said yesterday? My Treasure Hunter Demon has a very good chance of winning. Even against Junior Year students, it can crush them in no time."
Jin Fanfei: "."
The tiles were already set up in front of the thirteen participating familiars. As the first round of screening, each familiar had ten stacked tiles in front of them.
"Whistle!"
The teacher, acting as the referee, blew the whistle to start the competition.
Almost everyone’s attention was focused on the third familiar from the left, a seemingly malnourished Treasure Hunter Demon with dyed fur.
"Seek!"
