Chapter 299: Counterfeit? (Wishing Everyone a Happy Lantern Festival!)
Training Field 1.
In the center of the field, Treasure Seeker and Breezebell were engaged in a free-for-all battle.
By their junior year, everyone had been a Beastmaster for over two years, and their familiars had grown significantly. Their reaction speeds were many times faster than when they first bonded.
At this stage, it was impossible to command every move as they did when they first became Beastmasters.
Otherwise, if the opponent used a Flame Jet, by the time they reacted and gave commands, their familiar would already be preparing to counter with a skill.
In itself, this wasn't a problem, but if the command given differed from what the familiar intended to use, there would be a brief pause, leading to a mistake.
And such a mistake could very well decide the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, reducing command terms was a necessary process for every New Beast Tamer to become a Professional Beastmaster.
With fewer commands from the Beastmaster, the familiar's own reactions and judgment became crucial.
The Senior High School Team now focused on training their familiars to judge battles on their own.
In essence, they let them fight on their own.
While Treasure Seeker was training, Qiao Sang stood by the side of the field, calculating her finances.
She realized that money came in quickly, but it also went out just as fast.
Even though her bank account still showed seven digits, the most significant number at the beginning kept changing.
Apart from the Energy Pills, Fangy's recent training of Mars Rain with Clones required a constant supply of Energy Recovery Serum, which seemed to disappear with every sip.
She had to buy batch after batch of Energy Recovery Serum.
Learning skills cost money, and improving proficiency quickly also cost money!
Sigh, spending money like water, I'm really struggling... Qiao Sang thought to herself, her gaze shifting to the golden gloves on Treasure Seeker's claws.
It was time to sell the genuine pure gold gloves given by Liu Qijia's father...
"Senior..."
"What is it?"
Xu Yixuan, who was crouched beside her, massaging her familiar, looked up in confusion.
She was aware that most of her classmates found her talkative and tried to avoid engaging with her. The same went for her School Team teammates.
It had been a long time since someone like Qiao Sang had initiated a conversation with her.
"The National School Beastmaster League is about to start. Have you gathered any intelligence on the participants from other schools? If so, where did you get it from?"
Xu Yixuan was taken aback by the question.
She had assumed that someone as formidable as Qiao Sang wouldn't take her opponents seriously, let alone actively gather intelligence before the competition.
"Most of the participants are old rivals from previous competitions", Xu Yixuan said. "Which one do you want to know about? I have all the information. I can send you the details of all the participants from Zhehai Province."
That's not what I meant! Qiao Sang coughed and clarified, "It's been almost a year since the last National School Beastmaster League. Everyone's strength must have changed during this period. Where can I find up-to-date information like this?"
Xu Yixuan was stunned.
She hadn't expected Qiao Sang, with her monstrous strength, to be so cautious!
Most people only knew the basics about their opponents, such as the familiars they had and their fighting styles. Such caution was rare.
If she doesn't win, who will?
Xu Yixuan's admiration for Qiao Sang reached new heights.
Xu Yixuan answered seriously, "If you know someone, you can directly ask people from other schools. If not, you can post on the Zhehai Province High School General Forum or release a mission at the Beastmaster Center."
Qiao Sang understood.
That night, a new post appeared on the Zhehai Province High School General Forum.
#Holy Water High School Senior High School Team Replaces Member Before the Competition! Unveiling the True Face of the New Member!#
When clicked, the post started with just one sentence:
[Exclusive Information, Private Chat, Price Negotiable, No Cheating, All Ages Welcome, Verification Available]
The post instantly went viral.
Holy Water High School was the top beastmaster high school in Hanggang City and the second-best in Zhehai Province!
For a school of such caliber to change its team member right before the National School Beastmaster League?
And it was a junior year student?
This was completely off the charts!
Whether they were about to participate or not, high school students were all very interested and clicked into the post, causing its popularity to skyrocket.
Inside the room.
The computer and the mobile phone on the table kept receiving new message notifications.
Qiao Sang, the owner of both, was in the living room explaining the effects of the potion to Lulu.
Vice Principal truly lived up to being an A-Class Breeder; he managed to refine the Azure Dew Crystal into a potion in less than an hour.
"This thing can let you see if someone has eye gunk from a kilometer away", Qiao Sang said.
"Lulu."
Lulu showed interest, using her paw to take the potion and was about to drink it.
Qiao Sang was startled and quickly stopped her, "Wait!"
"Lulu?"
Lulu paused, showing a "What's wrong?" expression.
"It's for your eyes, not for drinking", Qiao Sang explained.
"Lulu."
Lulu nodded without any embarrassment and then lifted her paw holding the Azure Dew Crystal to her eyes and dripped it in.
At times like this, Qiao Sang admired Lulu's mental fortitude.
She was truly aloof...
After Lulu dripped the potion into both eyes, Qiao Sang asked, "How do your eyes feel now?"
"Lulu..."
Lulu blinked, looked around, and then shook her head, indicating she felt nothing.
"This shouldn't be..." Qiao Sang picked up the bottle with the remaining potion and examined it closely, muttering, "If it's fake, Vice Principal should have recognized it when making the potion..."
"Lulu."
Lulu flicked her tail and walked toward the courtyard.
It was a waste of her training time; Fangy had been training for a while already.
Qiao Sang: "..."
It seems she needed to check the authenticity of materials before making any transactions in the future... Qiao Sang sighed, placed the remaining potion on the coffee table, and returned to her room.
"Xunxun~"
After Qiao Sang closed the door, Treasure Seeker appeared, picked up the bottle on the coffee table, and curiously examined it, sniffing it with her nose. She then mimicked Lulu and dripped it into her own eyes.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker blinked, feeling no change.
"Xunxun."
She blinked again, still nothing.
"Xunxun!"
After another blink, Treasure Seeker gave the potion a disdainful look and put it back on the coffee table.
Fake!
...
Qiao Sang sat in front of her computer and was surprised to find that her private messages on the forum had reached 99+.
The first thought that came to her mind was: Wow, so many people are playing on their phones and computers instead of doing homework!
