Chapter 367: The Eve of the Elimination Matches
Chapter 367: The Eve of the Elimination Matches
Kainan City was not far from Hanggang City, a distance of about 160 kilometers, which could be covered in two hours by highway.
Accommodation had already been booked at the Victory Hotel, which was near the Kainan Beast Battle Arena.
The hotel's name was auspicious, and it was close enough to the arena. The price was also reasonable, so most of the time, it was booked by the schools participating in the competition.
The school bus stopped at a crossroads about 100 meters from the Victory Hotel.
Xu Yixuan half-opened her eyes and looked out the window, drowsily asking, "Why are we stopping here?"
Qiao Sang got up and said, "I'm getting off here."
Xu Yixuan was now fully awake. "Why are you getting off here?"
"I don't want Fangy to stay in the Beastmaster Codex all the time, so I found a hotel with a larger room", Qiao Sang answered and got off the bus.
Liu Yao also got up and followed.
Xu Yixuan was stunned for a moment. When the bus started moving again, she turned to He Datao, who was sitting next to her, and exclaimed, "So, you can change your accommodation if you're not satisfied! Why didn't you say earlier? I've been complaining about the school's arrangements for the past two years. The rooms are small, and sometimes the hotels don't even have training areas for familiars."
"Should I suggest to Teacher Sun that we change hotels?"
He Datao glanced at her. "If your familiar evolves right now, I think Teacher Sun would agree."
Xu Yixuan: "……"
……
After getting off the bus, Qiao Sang was surprised to find that the Vice Principal had also come along.
"Vice Principal, are you here to see me off?" Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
Liu Yao was taken aback. "Why else?"
I'm old enough to take care of myself... Qiao Sang scratched her head, embarrassed. "I can go by myself, no need to see me off."
Liu Yao paused and asked, "If you go by yourself, who will pay?"
Qiao Sang was stunned. "Are you going to pay for me?"
Liu Yao smiled. "To be precise, the school will pay."
During the competition, all expenses were supposed to be covered by the parents, but Holy Water High School had a deep reserve, and the government had allocated a generous budget. Therefore, the school could easily cover these costs.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and did not refuse. Whether she paid with her Black Gold Card or the school paid, it made no difference to her.
……
Rylei Hotel.
"What? 7.7 million?" Liu Yao was taken aback.
"Yes, sir. The young lady reserved our Presidential Suite", the staff member said with a polite smile.
Presidential Suite? Liu Yao turned to look at Qiao Sang in surprise.
Qiao Sang showed her big white teeth.
Liu Yao: "……"
"I'll pay for it myself", Qiao Sang said, noticing that the Vice Principal was not about to take out his wallet.
As she said this, she started to take out her card.
At this price, she wouldn't have stayed if she didn't have her unlimited Black Gold Card.
"No need", Liu Yao reacted and stopped her. "I said the school will pay, so the school will pay."
7.7 million was not a lot to him, but he wasn't sure if it was a lot for the school. Still, it was Wang Weidou's problem, not his.
With that, Liu Yao took out his card and paid.
At the same time, Wang Weidou's right eyelid twitched, but he dismissed it and continued to smile at the man in front of him.
"So, Litan went to the Rylei Hotel. That's a shame; I was hoping to have a chat with their principal, Huang."
……
Rylei Hotel.
Top floor.
Presidential Suite.
Qiao Sang was satisfied as she looked at the luxurious, spacious apartment, which was over 500 square meters.
Standing by the large floor-to-ceiling window, she could see the entire Kainan Beast Battle Arena at a glance.
After admiring the view, Qiao Sang made the hand signs and summoned Fangy.
“Ya!”
Fangy burst out of the summoning portal, immediately darting around the room in excitement as he took in the new surroundings.
“Xunxun~”
Infected by Fangy's enthusiasm, Treasure Seeker happily appeared and floated around the room, following Fangy.
“Ya Ya!”
After a quick lap, Fangy excitedly stopped in front of his Beastmaster, wagging his tail vigorously and barking.
Is this the house we bought?
Qiao Sang's gaze was drawn to Fangy's long, large tail, which had never touched the ground in the small rooms he had been in before. It always floated in mid-air, something she hadn't noticed until now.
Good, otherwise, I'd have to spend ages washing his tail every day... Qiao Sang nodded in satisfaction.
“Ya Ya!” Seeing his Beastmaster's silence, Fangy wagged his tail and barked again.
Qiao Sang snapped back to reality and replied, “We haven't bought a house yet. This is a hotel. We'll be staying here for a few days.”
“Fangy”
Fangy's face fell in disappointment.
So it's not the house we bought...
Qiao Sang saw his reaction and tried to reassure him, “Don't worry, the house we buy in the future will definitely be bigger than this.”
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy tilted his head. Are we not buying now because I'm not a C-Class Talent?
Qiao Sang was taken aback, not expecting Fangy to remember that.
As a Beastmaster, how can I lose face in front of my familiar... Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, “The C-Class Talent exam requires a lot of preparation. We have the competition to focus on, so we don't have time for the exam right now.”
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy believed his Beastmaster without a doubt, wagging his tail happily and barking in agreement.
We'll take the exam after the competition!
Qiao Sang: “...”
He's so easy to convince...
Taking the exam is out of the question. Even after the competition, the best she could aim for is a D-Rank Beastmaster. The C-Class Beastmaster exam has a crucial requirement: the Beastmaster must have a General-Class Beast Companion.
The exam involves a battle between General-Class Beast Companions.
Fangy has just evolved and is still far from reaching the General-Class level.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment before deciding to be honest, “The exam has requirements. We need to wait until you evolve again before we can take it.”
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy was initially taken aback, but then he barked with determination.
I'll evolve!
Qiao Sang: “...”
...
The tension of the elimination round was entirely different from the preliminary and group stages.
Almost all the high schools that made it to the elimination round had hired expensive Familiar Trainers to assist their students.
Litan Beastmaster High School had even hired professional familiar masseurs.
It was now dark outside.
In Room 2607 on the 26th floor of the Rylei Hotel, Valley Tail Sun and the other familiars were comfortably enjoying their massage services.
“I just don't understand how your Guweihua could evolve so quickly,” a boy with skin paler than most girls said, looking at Valley Tail Sun with a mix of admiration and envy.
They had all entered the school and trained together, and he had spent just as many resources as Ding Yanjing. Why hadn't his familiar evolved to a higher level?
Ding Yanjing, who was playing on his mobile phone on the sofa, didn't even look up as he replied, “What's there to understand? It's a talent issue.”
Wang Rui, who had been quiet, couldn't stand his smug attitude any longer and said, “Speaking of talent, Qiao Sang from Holy Water High School is the real deal. If she were in our year, you wouldn't stand a chance.”
Ding Yanjing paused, looked up, and smiled at Wang Rui.
“True, but it's a shame she insisted on competing in the Junior Year segment.”
