Chapter 345: A Word of Warning
Chapter 345: A Word of Warning
Qiao Sang’s lips twitched even more.
Good grief, she hadn’t misheard after all...
After just going through a “life-and-death battle,” and at this hour, they were going to train now? Was he serious?
As Qiao Sang was thinking about how to persuade Lulu that a balance of work and rest was the key, Xu Yixuan, standing beside her, looked stunned, seriously doubting if her ears were working properly.
Although she didn’t understand Glacialia’s words, she understood Qiao Sang’s!
Glacialia actually wanted to go training on his own initiative?!
For a moment, Xu Yixuan’s face almost twisted with envy.
She had tried every method—soft and hard—during her sophomore year to get her familiar to train properly, even buying books like "It's Not the Familiar's Fault for Being Rebellious", "How to Make Your Familiar Willingly Train", "Understanding Your Familiar's Mind Through Daily Behavior", and "How to Get Your Familiar Interested in Training." It took her a long time to get Flame Lord, who was still Fangflare back then, to start training.
But now, what did she see? Glacialia was the one pulling Qiao Sang to train!
Not Qiao Sang pulling Glacialia!
Glacialia pulling Qiao Sang!
"I’m going too!" Xu Yixuan exclaimed loudly. With such a freak around, she couldn’t just lie down and do nothing!
Hey, it’s what time? What are you getting involved for? Qiao Sang looked at Xu Yixuan with a gentle tone: "We have a match tomorrow. Are you sure you don’t want to rest properly?"
Just say you want to rest!
Xu Yixuan thought for a moment and said seriously, "You have a point. I’ll just train for an hour then."
Qiao Sang: "."
At that moment, Lulu tugged at Qiao Sang’s pant leg with its claw.
Qiao Sang looked down and met Lulu’s eyes.
"Lulu." Lulu called out seriously.
Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, conceding: "Alright, let’s go."
Hongrao Beastmaster Center.
Due to the late hour, the public training field was almost deserted.
Xu Yixuan was training with Dream Weaver, while Qiao Sang was communicating with Lulu.
"Why did you hit your head on the ground when practicing Water Spray today?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Lulu." Lulu pointed to the gem on its forehead with its claw, indicating it was fine and could heal itself.
Qiao Sang said helplessly, "It’s not about healing. Each time you release Water Spray, regardless of whether you hit the ground or not, your progress is the same."
Releasing a skill once increases its proficiency by one, so it’s the same either way.
"Lulu."
As Qiao Sang spoke, Lulu’s expression turned dejected.
It felt so weak, even its strongest attack skill wasn’t as powerful as Fangy’s casual move.
Fangy had even evolved. No matter how much it trained, would it ever catch up to that guy?
Seeing Lulu’s expression, Qiao Sang immediately sensed something was off.
Lulu usually maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, but now it was acting differently. It had been fine during the match today. Qiao Sang recalled the events of the day and quickly had a guess.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Do you feel like you’re not good enough?"
"Lulu!" Lulu, caught in the act, immediately became flustered and shouted, indicating it was very capable.
"I agree", Qiao Sang nodded in affirmation. "Think about it, you have the Epic Skill Healing Light, and Fangy’s strongest skill is only High-Rank. The last time, you said you wanted to learn the Advanced Skill Rain Invocation, and you mastered it right away. That’s pretty impressive, isn’t it?"
"Lulu."
Lulu stared at its Beastmaster for a moment, then spoke seriously, expressing its thoughts.
"Lulu!"
It wanted to become stronger! Much stronger!
You want to be stronger than Fangy, don’t you? Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Actually, Lulu wasn’t weak at all. With Healing Light, Rain Invocation, and the Rain Sprint trait, plus the Water Spray skill that had reached Perfection in proficiency, it had a good chance of winning against familiars of the same rank. What it lacked was only practical combat experience.
But unfortunately, it was being compared to Fangy and Treasure Seeker.
Fangy has mastered the Shadow Clone skill, and his skill proficiency has been skyrocketing every day. Most of the skills he knows are offensive.
As for Treasure Seeker, the Shadow Control skill, which can both control and attack, makes him virtually invincible at his current level.
Lulu, on the other hand, has her two highest-level skills: one for healing and one for transformation. Naturally, she falls short in terms of offensive capabilities compared to the other two.
Qiao Sang, a support character at heart, has always had a desire to be a strong attacker. After a moment of reflection, she said, “Let’s learn a new skill.”
“Lulu!”
Learning a new skill isn’t something to rush. They need to choose carefully.
Qiao Sang had her standards: a water-type or ice-based advanced offensive skill.
Before selecting a skill, however, there was one important matter to attend to: the competition.
The next day.
Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan arrived early at Huicheng Beast Tamer High School.
With Healing Light, even though she had slept less than a dog the previous night, Qiao Sang didn’t show any signs of fatigue.
The audience stands were already packed with people, all excitedly chatting.
Thanks to Fangy’s evolution, Qiao Sang’s hearing had improved significantly. Despite the noise around her, she could clearly hear conversations from several rows away if she focused.
“I just received the news this morning!”
“Me too!”
“I found out yesterday, my wife woke me up in the middle of the night to watch a video.”
“This is impressive! I think we’ll see more growth. It’s only been nine years since the last Mystic Rift appeared.”
“Want to go check it out after the match today?”
“Not a chance. The Mystic Rift appeared last night, and we need to wait until the safety alert is lifted.”
“I heard from Little Song that Ding Yanjing’s Guweihua has evolved into a Valley Tail Sun. Is that true?”
“I’m a bit worried about wild familiars escaping during the competition.”
Qiao Sang suddenly froze. Wait! What did she just hear?
Ding Yanjing?
Was this the Ding Yanjing from Litan Beastmaster High School?
His Guweihua evolved?
Qiao Sang turned around, trying to find the source of the conversation, but the crowd was too dense. After a few moments, she gave up.
She turned back and checked the forum on her mobile phone, but there were no posts about Ding Yanjing’s Guweihua evolving into a Valley Tail Sun.
Could it be a coincidence?
No, that’s unlikely. If she had heard this elsewhere, it might have been a different person, but here, it was almost certainly referring to someone from Beastmaster High School.
“Ding Yanjing’s Guweihua evolved?” Qiao Sang asked, turning to her friends.
“No way,” He Datao said, disbelieving. “Where did you hear that?”
Before Qiao Sang could answer, Xu Yixuan chimed in, “If it did, Litan Beastmaster High School would definitely have announced it.”
“Even if Litan Beastmaster High School didn’t announce it, given Ding Yanjing’s showy nature, he would have paraded his Valley Tail Sun around immediately.”
He Datao added, “And if a familiar evolves into a high-class beast companion at this crucial moment, everyone involved in the competition would know about it right away.”
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said, “But how would they know if the familiar hasn’t been summoned for the competition?”
Xu Yixuan laughed, “The teachers and teammates would know, it’s a huge deal. No one would keep it a secret, and it would boost the school team’s morale and reputation.”
Qiao Sang fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “In that case, I should tell you guys first. My Flame Listener has evolved.”
Xu Yixuan: “???”
He Datao: “???”
