Chapter 330: I've Been Looking for You
Chapter 330: I've Been Looking for You
The competition continued into the afternoon, with battles barely stopping except for the two-hour break at noon.
4:33 PM.
He Datao put away his Magma Burst Ape and walked off the field.
"Shouldn't we be done with today's matches? How about we go out for dinner tonight?" He Datao smiled, his perfect record for the day putting him in a good mood.
Normally, the School Team's meals are provided, and any outings require the coach's approval.
However, this was just the Group Stage, and Sun Boyi had a good grasp of the Junior Year group's level. Knowing that all three of them had a high chance of advancing with the group, he was relatively lenient and didn't hover over his team members like other coaches, who often gave pep talks or strategy advice before their matches.
As long as it didn't affect their performance, going out for dinner was fine, and He Datao knew the coach wouldn't object.
"Thanks, but I need to prepare for tomorrow's matches", Xu Yixuan declined.
Although she knew advancing from the Group Stage was almost certain, losing two matches to Qiao Sang today had left her with little appetite for going out.
"Then let's go, Qiao Sang", He Datao looked at Qiao Sang.
"I..." Qiao Sang started to speak, but Lulu patted him with her paw.
"Lulu."
No way, it's time to train.
Qiao Sang's lips twitched, and he quickly changed his tune. "I also need to prepare for tomorrow's matches."
He Datao was taken aback and immediately reflected on himself.
If the two stronger players were so dedicated, he had no reason to relax just because of a few victories.
"Then I won't go either", He Datao said.
Wait, I'll put you back in the Beastmaster Codex. You don't even know how to balance work and rest. Fangy knew to go for a walk when she first arrived... Qiao Sang silently glanced down at Lulu.
"Lulu." Lulu looked up at him.
"We'll train as soon as we get back", Qiao Sang said seriously.
"Lulu." Lulu nodded, agreeing to the plan.
...
Since he had promised Lulu, Qiao Sang couldn't just go back and lie down like he did during the preliminary rounds.
In the public Training Field of the Hongrao Beastmaster Center, Fangy and Lulu were practicing skill releases.
Since the participants from other schools were staying at the Beastmaster Center, and this was the only available training ground, the area was packed with people and their familiars. As a result, Fangy and Lulu could only practice low-powered skills.
Despite the crowd, few were actually training.
Why would they? The only Flame Listener and the Endangered Familiar Glacialia were both here, and who could focus on training with such rare sights around!
"Flame Listener! Oh my god, it's right in front of me! Its coolness is blinding!"
"Look at that Glacialia's tail and ears! I want to touch them so badly!"
"Flame Listener just looked over! Was it looking at me? Was it looking at me?!"
"Quick! Take a photo for me, I want a picture with both of them!" An excited boy handed his mobile phone to a Powerful Duck, pointing to the red-and-white and light-blue figures nearby.
"Sure." The Powerful Duck nodded, took the phone, and started snapping photos from various angles with a serious and professional demeanor.
Many people around were asking their familiars to take photos.
"Aren't you going?" Qiao Sang asked, nudging the Treasure Seeker on his head while watching Fangy and Lulu.
"Xunxun~" The Treasure Seeker shook its head, giving a well-prepared excuse with a sincere expression.
There were too many people, and its skills were too powerful. It could easily hurt someone, so it was better not to train.
Lies, more lies, how can you say such shameless excuses... Qiao Sang inwardly complained and thought about which skills the Treasure Seeker could practice.
The fact that Treasure Seeker can use Psychic-type skills hasn't been revealed on the forum yet, so no one knows about it. For now, it's best to keep it under wraps and not train Psychic-type skills in public.
As for Ghost-type skills, the priority is to master Shadow Control, but it's best to have a target to practice on...
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Find a few ants to prepare."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker floated in front of its Beastmaster, wagging its short toes and grinning smugly. It then skillfully removed its Ring and rummaged inside, pulling out a beverage bottle after a short while.
Qiao Sang was genuinely puzzled when she saw the bottle in Treasure Seeker's claws. The bottle didn't contain any drink; instead, it held a dozen or so ants slowly crawling around.
The ants were actually alive... Qiao Sang hesitated and asked, "When did you put these ants in the Ring?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker stroked its chin thoughtfully, looking serious as it recalled, then confirmed with a definite call.
It was the night Big Brother Yabao took the whistle.
Qiao Sang was stunned for several seconds. That was at least a week ago. In an oxygen-deprived environment, ants wouldn't last more than a few minutes, so how could they still be alive?
Unless... Treasure Seeker's Ring could now store living creatures...
The thought excited Qiao Sang. The ability to store living things in a space would be a game-changer!
She remembered that the Beastmaster Codex mentioned Treasure Seeker's Primary Trait, Absorb, which referred to the Ring's function. If the Ring had indeed changed, the information in the Codex would have been updated as well!
She blamed herself for always focusing on skills and not paying much attention to the Trait data.
Qiao Sang immediately wanted to check the Beastmaster Codex to see the page about Treasure Seeker.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed through the sky.
Everyone in the Training Field was startled.
"Scared the living daylights out of me! Why did it suddenly start thundering?"
"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today!"
"Jeez, this thunder is trying to scare someone to death."
"Man, the sky's getting dark so fast after just one thunderclap. Let's hurry up and leave; it looks like a storm is coming."
"Damn! Which Divine Beasts are undergoing their trials here?"
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker was so startled that it flashed back to Qiao Sang's head, its claws gripping her hair tightly.
At this rate, I'll go bald. Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, which had suddenly turned dark and heavy with black clouds, giving the impression of an impending storm.
"Ya Ya!"
"Lou."
Fangy and Lulu ran over.
Qiao Sang instinctively glanced at Lulu, but its tail and ears were the same as usual, showing no signs of enlargement.
Rain Sense must be malfunctioning?
Qiao Sang didn't dwell on it and waved her hand, summoning Fangy and Lulu into the Beastmaster Codex.
Since Treasure Seeker liked being on her head, she let it stay there. It could provide some protection if the rain really came. Taking advantage of the lull before the storm, Qiao Sang ran toward the dormitory.
"Qiao Sang classmate!"
Just as she reached the corridor, a male voice called out from behind her, sounding quite surprised.
Qiao Sang turned around and saw a boy with his bangs covering his eyes.
She was taken aback.
Wasn't this the Lucky Prodigy?
"Qiao Sang classmate, it's great to meet you here. I've been looking for you for a while." Wu Chang ran over and tried to flash a friendly smile.
Looking for me for a while?
Qiao Sang suddenly felt something was off and turned to look at the sky outside the corridor.
The dark clouds were dissipating, and there was no longer any sign of an impending storm.
