Chapter 510: Great Divide
Chapter 510: Great Divide
After morning classes, Qiao Sang headed towards the Infirmary.
"Teacher, I need to check my brain domain", Qiao Sang said as she pushed the door open.
"Wait a moment", the young doctor replied. He was examining a familiar whose head and back were covered by a hard wooden shell, with a brown tip at the end of its tail.
A boy with a Southeast Asian face stood beside him.
Qiao Sang glanced at the gem on his sleeve and saw it was a white one.
A sophomore student... Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.
At Sai Nan High School, the gems embedded in the cuffs of the school uniforms were different colors for each grade: white for sophomores, green for juniors, and blue for seniors, making them easy to distinguish.
After a thorough examination, the young doctor said, "It can be treated, but a full recovery will take until evening."
The boy frowned.
"I have a field practice this afternoon. How can I participate if it’s not better?"
"Junjun..."
The familiar with the wooden shell lowered its head, as if it had done something wrong.
The young doctor carefully explained, "Mushroom Kicker can still fight, but its movements will be slower than usual. It shouldn’t affect the practice."
"Kulchak Angli once said that even a slight discomfort in a familiar before a battle can put it at a disadvantage", the boy said, looking up at the young doctor seriously. "If it’s at a disadvantage, how can it not affect the practice?"
Qiao Sang's lips twitched.
Is it appropriate to use a famous war quote for a field practice? You only have a basic familiar; don't you know your own level? The teacher won't let you face familiars far beyond your capabilities, so what’s the problem with being a bit slower... The young doctor mentally ranted but maintained a respectful expression.
"You’re right; I didn’t consider that", he said, then his expression turned difficult. "However, Mushroom Kicker absorbed too much energy, which is now blocked inside its body and can’t be dispersed. I can only speed up the absorption process to help dissipate the excess energy, and that takes time."
"If you want to solve this immediately, it’s possible, but Mushroom Kicker is a low-level familiar and its physical strength might not handle it. It would still need a few hours to recover afterward."
The boy fell silent, seemingly in thought.
"Junjun..."
Mushroom Kicker lowered its head even more.
"Um..." Qiao Sang spoke up, "Maybe I can heal Mushroom Kicker directly."
Both the boy and the familiar looked at her immediately.
The boy asked suspiciously, "Does your familiar have skills that can treat this?"
In fact, he had recognized Qiao Sang as soon as she entered.
There was a post about her on Sai Nan High School’s forum yesterday.
A new interstellar exchange student from Blue Star Dragon Country, a Beastmaster who had single-handedly defeated the senior division champion, and was the same age as him but placed in Junior Year 6.
With all these titles, it was hard not to remember her.
If Qiao Sang were from Supernest, she would have a lot of admirers in their circle. Unfortunately, she was from Blue Star and would eventually return. Since their lives wouldn’t intersect, there was no need to be friends.
"Sort of", Qiao Sang nodded.
"What do you want in return?" the boy asked, maintaining a fair trade attitude.
You’re asking for it... Qiao Sang smiled. "Just give me some points."
"How many?" the boy asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Six points."
The boy turned to the young doctor without hesitation. "You treat Mushroom Kicker, use the first treatment plan."
Thank you, exchange student... The young doctor gave Qiao Sang a grateful look and started the treatment.
Qiao Sang: "..."
After the boy left with Mushroom Kicker, Qiao Sang asked in confusion, "I said I could heal it directly. Why didn’t he ask me to do it?"
The young doctor smiled. "Points are very important to Sai Nan High School students. He wants Mushroom Kicker to fully recover before the field practice to earn more points. Giving you six points is less of a sacrifice than giving you 600,000 Union Coins."
It turns out earning points is so difficult... After realizing this, Qiao Sang felt even more heartbroken when she thought about the six points that had been deducted from her.
"Are you a talent student?" the young doctor asked.
Qiao Sang nodded.
"Those who can come as Interstellar Exchange Students are mostly talent students", the young doctor smiled. "If you're a talent student, earning points is easier. Just participate in matches related to your talent."
I don't have the time to participate in any matches... Qiao Sang pouted.
As the young doctor placed the brain domain detection helmet on Qiao Sang's head, he said:
"If your brain domain breaks through, your familiar evolves, or you pass a Beastmaster Level assessment, you can earn points."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang's spirits lifted. "How many points can I earn?"
"That depends on your original records", the young doctor said as he activated the brain domain detection helmet. "You need to make a breakthrough based on your original records."
"However, for the brain domain, if you go from 8% to 9%, you won't get any points. Only a significant breakthrough, like going from 9% to 10%, which adds a blank Bond Page to the Beastmaster Codex, will earn you points."
Qiao Sang's heart raced as she asked again, "How many points can I earn?"
"Add..." The young doctor stared at the data appearing on the screen, completely stunned, and couldn't continue.
Just tell me how many points... Qiao Sang grew anxious and called out, "Teacher?"
"Wait a moment", the young doctor regained his composure and pulled out his mobile phone. "The brain domain detection helmet is broken. I'll call someone to fix it."
Broken? Qiao Sang turned to look at the screen.
[39%]
"Where is it broken?" Qiao Sang asked.
The young doctor dialed the maintenance number and, as he raised his head, noticed Qiao Sang looking at the screen.
He was momentarily stunned. Do I need to tell you where it's broken? Can't you see the data?
The young doctor steadied his emotions and said, "The data is incorrect."
Qiao Sang, with a curious attitude, asked, "How can you tell it's incorrect?"
The young doctor couldn't hold back any longer. "It shows 39%!"
Qiao Sang asked sincerely, "Is 39% a problem?"
Tang Yi's brain domain increased by 6%, so an increase of 10% for me should be no problem at all.
From her perspective, she had only broken one constraint, just like Tang Yi.
Qiao Sang's brain domain breakthroughs had always been smooth.
First, there was the Spontaneous Awakening, which added a page to the Beastmaster Codex. Then, after a good sleep, another page was added. So, she didn't find brain domain breakthroughs particularly difficult.
Besides, the next stage for a B-Class Beastmaster requires a brain domain of 50%, a widely recognized Great Divide. She hadn't even crossed the 40% "small Great Divide."
Do you even know what you're asking? The young doctor's mouth twitched, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing his expression, Qiao Sang suddenly understood.
She had measured 29% yesterday, and today it was 39%, a significant increase. No wonder others assumed the brain domain detection equipment was faulty.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang formed the hand seals.
The next second, the Amber Star Array lit up.
The young doctor watched the scene unfold, his mind going blank.
Amber, the Amber Star Array?!
"Hey, hey, why aren't you saying anything?" a voice came from the mobile phone.
