Chapter 355: Qiao Sang vs. Wu Chang
Chapter 355: Qiao Sang vs. Wu Chang
Qiao Sang is a person of action. As soon as the idea struck her, she wanted to immediately experiment with how to train Snowfall.
However, after two matches today, Lulu's energy was almost depleted. It would be better for her to rest well.
With that thought, she opened the Zhehai Province University Forum to look for analysis posts.
As soon as she clicked in, she noticed that the red-marked, pinned post was no longer the one ranking the top players in each grade across the province.
Instead, it had been replaced with:
#What Ailments Do You Have?#
Qiao Sang was taken aback by the pinned post. This was the peak time for discussing the tournament, yet a strange post had somehow overtaken the popular analysis threads?
What ailments do you have?
What a mess!
As her thoughts raced, Qiao Sang clicked on the post:
"Today's match was truly eye-opening. Qiao Sang from Holy Water High School used Glacialia's Healing Light to fully restore her health. They say Healing Light can cure all kinds of ailments. Feel free to leave a comment with your condition, and I'll pick a lucky one to seek Qiao Sang's help. To be honest, I'm currently staying at the same Beastmaster Center as her."
The post was recent, but the comments section already had thousands of replies:
"Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering how the OP knew. The live stream platform crashed again today, so it makes sense if they're in the same venue."
"I've been constipated lately."
"I have morning lethargy. I often think I'll just close my eyes for a couple of minutes, but I always end up being late for school."
"I've been very anxious, especially since Junior Year. I think I might be sick."
"Depression."
"I don't have a disease, but my family does. Can you help them?"
"I have Monday syndrome."
"I have anorexia; I'm afraid of drawing big plans."
So many people were sick. Even if the one-year Unlimited Credit Card expired, with Lulu around, she wouldn't have to worry about food and drink. Still, Qiao Sang silently grumbled in her heart. What makes this person think she will definitely help? After winning such a big prize, even money can't tempt her...
"Lu."
At that moment, Lulu suddenly called out from beside her.
Qiao Sang turned and asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"Lu." Lulu nodded, then stared intently at Qiao Sang.
After bonding for so long, they had developed a certain rapport, and Qiao Sang immediately understood Lulu's meaning. "You want to train?"
"Lu."
Lulu nodded again.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. You're already exhausted today, and the previous training method for the Frostflower Seal doesn't seem to work. I want to try something different."
"Lu?"
Lulu was initially surprised, then her expression turned curious.
What method will we try?
Qiao Sang closed the forum and searched for videos of ice familiars performing Snowfall, then placed it in front of Lulu. "Learning the Frostflower Seal directly is difficult. Let's try practicing Snowfall first. The first step of the Frostflower Seal is to make the snow fall. You already know Rain Invocation, so we'll convert that to ice energy and see if it works."
Lulu listened with a serious expression.
...
In the dead of night, steady breathing filled the quiet room.
Lulu opened her eyes and glanced at the sleeping Qiao Sang. Then, she tiptoed silently into the bathroom. Three seconds later, a small puddle of water seeped out from under the door.
"Xun..."
Treasure Seeker watched everything unfold.
It thought for a moment, then floated to the bedside without hesitation and pinched Qiao Sang's nose with its paw.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes groggily.
The first thing she saw was Treasure Seeker's big head.
Strangely, Qiao Sang remained calm.
Some things, when experienced often enough, really do build up a resistance.
She glanced at the sky outside the window, then at Xu Yixuan, who was still sound asleep beside her. "What is it?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker pointed towards the door.
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, but she quickly regained her senses. She sat up and looked around, and indeed, she didn't see Lulu's figure.
Goodness, could she have gone to train?
"Let's go check." Qiao Sang said as she got up and put on her shoes.
"Seek~"
Five minutes later, Qiao Sang stood on the long corridor, watching the Training Field where Lulu's faint blue figure was continuously casting Rain Invocation. She sighed.
If it weren't for Healing Light, she'd be worried that Lulu might not make it one day.
In the Training Field.
"Lulu!"
Lulu recalled her Beastmaster’s words and tried to convert all her internal energy into ice-type during Rain Invocation.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out above her head, "Drink some Energy Recovery Serum first."
"Lulu..." Lulu looked up with a bewildered expression.
Seeing Lulu's expression, Qiao Sang knew exactly what she was thinking. She handed the Energy Recovery Serum over and smiled, "I'll stay with you."
"Lulu..."
Lulu's expression was unusually bashful as she extended her paw to take the Energy Recovery Serum.
...
November 10th, the final day of the National Campus Beastmaster League Group Stage.
7:13 AM.
Qiao Sang carried Lulu, who was sipping on Energy Recovery Serum, back to their room.
Xu Yixuan happened to come out of the bathroom and froze when she saw Qiao Sang's dark circles. "Don't tell me you went out to train early in the morning?"
"No." Qiao Sang replied.
Xu Yixuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She had been scared to death, thinking Qiao Sang had pushed herself to such an extreme.
Just as Xu Yixuan was about to ask, "Where did you go so early in the morning?" Qiao Sang yawned and said, "I went out to train in the middle of the night and just got back."
Xu Yixuan: "!!!"
...
An hour later.
Huicheng Beastmaster High School.
Xu Yixuan absentmindedly stuffed a sandwich into her mouth. Qiao Sang's words that morning had truly been a huge blow. With someone so talented and hardworking, she couldn't help but doubt herself.
Am I too useless...
Qiao Sang, who had been rejuvenated by Healing Light, watched the matches with high spirits.
Today was the last day of the Group Stage, and she remembered that one of her opponents today was "Lucky Prodigy" Wu Chang.
However, with Fortune Seeker no longer around, Wu Chang's luck had returned to normal, and the competition venue no longer favored him.
Thinking about this, Qiao Sang suddenly froze.
Damn! She had forgotten to ask Fortune Seeker to boost her luck!
That was a Phantom Beast, Fortune Seeker!
How many chances does one have in a lifetime to encounter a Phantom Beast!
Qiao Sang was so regretful that she almost shouted out loud, but then she thought of something.
Come to think of it, her luck had been unusually good lately. Could it be that Fortune Seeker had already given her good luck without her knowing?
...
Time flew by, and before she knew it, it was afternoon.
"Let's welcome Qiao Sang from Holy Water High School and Wu Chang from Huicheng Beastmaster High School!"
Cheers and shouts immediately filled the entire school.
One was a contestant who had shattered people's perceptions with an Endangered Familiar, and the other was a local favorite. Both were highly invigorating.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Glacialia! Glacialia!"
"Wu Chang! Wu Chang!"
"Wu Chang! Go for it!"
In a stadium full of Hongrao Town spectators, the cheers for Qiao Sang and Wu Chang were evenly split.
