Chapter 348: So Familiar Face?
Chapter 348: So Familiar Face?
Hanggang City.
In a certain indoor training field at Dongpan Beast Training Center.
"Principal, are we really going to keep Guweihua's Evolution a secret from Ding Yanjing?" asked a slightly overweight man in a black polo shirt, puzzled.
"Should we really have him continue using Flash Crow in battles?"
Huang Renbiao, watching Ding Yanjing and Flash Crow training in the center of the field, didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked slowly:
"Do you know Qiao Sang from Holy Water High School?"
"Of course", the man nodded. "She has a Flame Listener, a Treasure Hunter Demon, and a nearly extinct familiar, Glacialia. Right now, she's the most prominent student in our province."
Huang Renbiao added, "Most importantly, she's only 15 years old."
The man was silent for a couple of seconds.
No matter how many times he heard these conditions, they always gave him a sense of shock.
"But what does this have to do with keeping Guweihua's Evolution a secret?" the man asked.
Huang Renbiao spoke gravely, "After each Provincial Tournament of the National Campus Beastmaster League, they award some prizes. Someone told me that this time, the 'Most Potential Award' for the top three will be a bottle of A-Class Potential Enhancer."
"I want Ding Yanjing to win this award and boost his strength before the Regional Tournament."
An A-Class Potential Enhancer? The man was taken aback.
This item doesn't increase a familiar's level or life stage but improves the familiar's constitution, allowing it to break its own constraints and expand the range of energy levels it can withstand, thus enhancing its potential.
All items that can boost a familiar's potential are astronomically expensive, let alone an A-Class Potential Enhancer.
The man hesitated, then said with a gulp, "With Qiao Sang from Holy Water High School in the competition, I doubt Ding Yanjing will win this award."
While Ding Yanjing's potential was undeniable, anyone with eyes could see that Qiao Sang's potential was stronger.
Even as a teacher at Litan Beastmaster High School, he found it hard to claim with a clear conscience that the award should go to Ding Yanjing.
"I know", Huang Renbiao said. "That's why I asked you to keep it a secret. If no one knows about it, the impact of Ding Yanjing summoning Valley Tail Sun for the first time will be even more shocking."
"As long as he summons Valley Tail Sun for the first time in the battle against Qiao Sang and wins, the visual impact and the comparison of their strengths will make the judges more inclined to favor Ding Yanjing."
Actually, that alone wouldn't be enough. The most important thing was having someone in a high position.
With the first High-Class Beast Companion appearing in the Zhehai Province's National Campus Beastmaster League, it would be easier to bring up this matter.
Given Ding Yanjing's strength, he was a sure bet to represent Zhehai Province in the Regional Tournament. As a provincial leader, it was natural to hope that he would be as strong as possible at this critical juncture.
Of course, Huang Renbiao wouldn't say such a blunt truth.
Why make things so complicated? The award has a prerequisite, only being given to the top three in the Provincial Tournament. It would be better to ensure Qiao Sang doesn't make it to the top three... The man wanted to voice his thoughts but hesitated and held back.
Hmm, with Qiao Sang's strength, it doesn't seem very realistic for her to not make it to the top three in the Provincial Tournament...
...
Qiao Sang, of course, had no idea that Litan Beastmaster High School was keeping Ding Yanjing's Guweihua Evolution a secret because of her.
At that moment, she was feeling relaxed and content, humming a tune while browsing her mobile phone to find suitable skills for Lulu to learn.
As she browsed, Qiao Sang found herself on her school's forum, where she searched for and liked posts about Principal.
Thinking about Principal's words, "You don't need to worry about the money; the school will cover it", Qiao Sang felt his image shine even brighter.
Advanced Beast Energy Pills, and even custom-made ones at that—she had been worried that Fangy’s Evolution would make it too expensive for her to afford, but she didn’t have to worry about that at all!
She wondered if Principal would still help with the costs if Treasure Seeker and Lulu also Evolved... The thought made Qiao Sang grin foolishly.
Since coming to Hongrao Town, she felt her luck had really turned around.
Though she had been caught up in a bit of trouble, she had at least witnessed the legendary Phantom Beast Fortune Seeker and the appearance of the Mystic Rift. Moreover, Treasure Seeker had mysteriously learned Spatial Shift, and Fangy had Evolved.
Now, she didn’t even have to worry about the cost of the Energy Pills for Fangy after his Evolution.
If only Lulu could also make a breakthrough here, it would be perfect... As Qiao Sang thought this, she didn't notice the air around her suddenly trembling slightly.
...
The Group Stage lasted for a week.
Before she knew it, Qiao Sang had already been in Hongrao Town for five days.
Hongrao Beastmaster Center.
Room 1203.
"Qiao Sang, one of your opponents tomorrow is Liu Zheru from Xiongding High School. Are you still going to send out Glacialia?" Xu Yixuan asked, lying on the bed and tilting her head.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "We'll see."
In the past few days, Qiao Sang had been sending out Lulu to quickly improve its combat skills, but only in matches she was confident they could win.
Liu Zheru from Xiongding Beastmaster High School had two Bear Beasts, both with high attack and defense. Given Lulu's current strength, there was no 100% guarantee of winning.
Xu Yixuan suggested with a smile, "Why don't you send out Blazing Star Hound? It's a sure win!"
"Lulu."
Lulu, who was trying to concentrate Energy at a single point on the table by the window, instantly gave a cold look.
Feeling the cold aura emanating from Glacialia, Xu Yixuan quickly changed the subject:
"I think the lottery results are announced at 9:30, let me check if I won!"
She got up, picked up her school uniform, and pulled out a lottery ticket from the pocket.
Qiao Sang looked at her, surprised, and asked, "When did you buy a lottery ticket?"
"Yesterday, after training, I went with He Datao", Xu Yixuan replied, lying back on the bed and opening her mobile phone to search the lottery website.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to come, but Principal and Teacher Sun were with you, so I didn't have the nerve to ask."
Actually, even if you had asked, I wouldn't have gone. Since Principal covered the cost of Fangy’s Energy Pills, Qiao Sang felt her desire for money had significantly decreased.
Lottery?
Just a tax on intelligence.
"Did you win?" Qiao Sang asked.
Xu Yixuan compared her ticket to the numbers on the website, then pouted and tossed the ticket onto the bedside table, saying, "No."
Qiao Sang wasn’t the least bit surprised.
"By the way, do you remember when I told you about someone in Hongrao Town winning a one-year Unlimited Credit Card?" Xu Yixuan suddenly asked.
Qiao Sang replied, "Yes, what about it?"
Xu Yixuan sighed heavily and said, "I saw in the news today that no one has claimed the prize yet. Wouldn't it be great if the winner just didn’t want it and gave it to me?"
"Fat chance. They probably just forgot about it", Qiao Sang retorted. "You’d be better off thinking about finding a prize on the street."
Xu Yixuan thought about it and agreed. She got up, put on her school uniform and shoes, and smiled shyly, "I'm going to get something to eat. Maybe I'll find a prize on the way."
With that, she turned and pushed open the door.
Qiao Sang: "."
At that moment, a gust of wind blew in from the open door, causing the lottery ticket on the bedside table to fly directly onto Treasure Seeker’s face as it trained with a group of ants.
"Seeker."
Treasure Seeker used its paw to remove the ticket from its face and looked at it with a puzzled expression.
"Seeker?"
Hmm, this thing looks so familiar...
