Chapter 674: Dark Shadow
Chapter 674: Dark Shadow
Qiao Sang typed in the search query, and the page quickly displayed the relevant news.
[Shocking! Blue Star Ghost-Type Companion Beasts Spotted in the Morgue!]
Well, they certainly know how to write a catchy headline... Qiao Sang glanced at the accompanying video.
It was footage from a security camera, showing the scene where the Treasure Seeker used Spatial Shift to take "Little Girl" and Dorine away from the underground level.
The text below provided an introduction to the Ghost Ring.
Qiao Sang scrolled down and saw numerous comments from netizens.
[Ha, Ghost-Type Companion Beasts can use Spatial Shift? I’m laughing.]
[It’s indeed a Ghost-Type Companion Beast I’ve never seen before.]
[High-Grade Ghost-Type Companion Beast? Isn’t it a bit too small? Even my Waddling Pig is bigger.]
The Treasure Seeker was initially quite engaged, but when it saw this comment, it took a step back, claws covering its chest, looking heartbroken.
Qiao Sang continued to read.
[Doesn’t anyone else find this child terrifying?]
[Clearly, she’s possessed by a Ghost-Type Companion Beast.]
[Check the 11th trending story. A man and his lover killed their two children. This is one of those girls.]
Qiao Sang flipped back to the trending page but didn’t see any related news.
At that moment, Elma asked, “You were there, didn’t you see everything?”
Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone and nodded.
Elma cursed, “I didn’t expect such scum to exist in the First District. Good thing there’s Grudgebound, or those two would have gotten away with it.”
Hearing this, Qiao Sang asked, “What happened to the woman?”
Elma thought for a moment and replied, “The news said Grudgebound didn’t go after her, but the police arrested her that night.”
Qiao Sang thought to herself that the two children must have resented their father the most...
Elma couldn’t help but glance at the Ghost Ring, which looked hurt.
Others might not know, but she was aware that this Ghost-Type Companion Beast could use combat-type Tile Split skills.
A Ghost-Type Companion Beast that could use both combat-type and Psychic-type skills—truly, it was abnormal...
The Treasure Seeker had no idea it had been labeled as "abnormal" in others' minds.
It was still feeling the sting of being called too small by the netizens, so it was distracted during the subsequent combat training.
“Steel Guardian.”
Steel Treasure noticed that the Treasure Seeker wasn’t in the right state and called out to pause the session.
Qiao Sang also saw the problem.
She stood there, taking the hits, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Xunxun...”
The Treasure Seeker glanced at Steel Treasure and sighed deeply.
It was saying that as the second one, it should be bigger than the fourth one...
You’re only realizing this now... Qiao Sang organized her thoughts and said:
"Once you evolve, your body size will increase."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at its Beastmaster with a pensive expression. It had seen the pictures of itself after evolution, and its body size didn't really change much.
Qiao Sang: "..."
I almost forgot about that...
Elma, who was standing nearby, joined the conversation: "What's wrong with Ghost Ring?"
"Nothing", Qiao Sang said. "It just feels its body is too small."
Treasure Seeker was easygoing. Whatever it considered a problem at the moment usually resolved itself within a few minutes.
Elma pondered for a moment and said:
"Ghost-type Companion Beasts have a skill called Dark Shadow, which can project an illusion that appears ten or even a hundred times larger than its actual size. If it feels it's not big enough, it can practice this skill."
So, if the body size isn't enough, just use a skill to make up for it... Qiao Sang smiled, thinking that the illusion created by this skill was just a visual trick. It might make the opponent feel intimidated, but it wouldn't increase the actual damage dealt.
"Xunxun!"
Before Qiao Sang could say a word, Treasure Seeker's eyes lit up with excitement.
It wanted to learn this skill!
Qiao Sang: "..."
"The most important thing for you right now is to train in Shadow Control and complete your evolution", Qiao Sang said with a helpless expression.
Treasure Seeker always had new ideas popping up. She was genuinely worried it would spend all its time practicing Dark Shadow.
While the skill sounded impressive, it wasn't very practical. The opponents Treasure Seeker faced were all at the same level as it. After evolving to the General Class, its opponents would also be General Class. Most General Class familiars were around six meters tall. Even if Treasure Seeker learned this skill and projected an illusion ten times its size, it would still look small to its opponents.
Unless it could project an illusion a hundred times its size, but as it progressed, the opponents would also grow larger. She sincerely felt this skill would be of little use in future matches.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker clenched its claws in front of its face, looking determined.
It would complete its training and evolve as soon as possible, and then it would practice this skill!
Qiao Sang: "..."
As long as you're happy...
Treasure Seeker now had a short-term training goal. Qiao Sang didn't want to dampen its enthusiasm by saying the skill wasn't very useful, so she nodded without a word:
"I believe in you."
"Xunxun!"
Hearing its Beastmaster's words, Treasure Seeker became even more enthusiastic. It gave Steel Treasure a determined look, indicating that the training would continue.
"Steel Guardian."
Finally, it's in the right mindset... Steel Treasure nodded, a slight smile of satisfaction on its face.
...
The sun set in the west, casting a golden glow on the clouds in the sky.
Qiao Sang dragged her exhausted body back to the rented villa. As soon as she entered, she noticed that the black shoes were missing from the entrance, indicating that Vice Principal hadn't returned yet.
Qiao Sang drank a bottle of Fitness Tonic and soaked in a bath filled with Resilience Tonic. The soreness quickly disappeared, replaced by a warm, soothing sensation, as if she were soaking in a hot spring. She felt an influx of boundless energy, even more so than when she was healed by Healing Light.
Has the first stage of training been completed... Qiao Sang couldn't help but wonder.
After soaking for a bit longer, she got up, dried off the water on her body, put on her pajamas, and went to the room to pick up her mobile phone to ask Coach about the specific feelings after completing the first stage.
But at that moment, she saw Treasure Seeker typing away in front of the computer.
Damn! It's already learned how to play games?
Qiao Sang was taken aback at first, then she tiptoed over to Treasure Seeker's back.
She saw Treasure Seeker using 3D Shadow Control to type a reply to a comment:
["Ghost Ring will get really big!"]
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
"You can type now?!" After the shock, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker was startled and turned around, making a gesture indicating "just a little bit."
It was a bit panicked.
In TV shows, a lot of students use computers regularly. If it can do that, will it be asked to go to school too...
Prodigy!
This is a prodigy!
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker with a burning gaze, ready to shower it with praise.
At that moment, her mobile phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang steadied her excitement, picked up her phone, and saw a call from Blue Star. She answered:
"Hello?"
"Hi, I'm a teacher from the admissions office of Imperial Beastmaster Academy. May I ask if this is Qiao Sang?" A mature female voice spoke.
A teacher from the admissions office of Imperial Beastmaster Academy? Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment but quickly replied, "Yes, this is me."
"Are you currently in front of your computer?" the other party asked.
Qiao Sang glanced at the computer screen and said, "I'm right in front of it."
"Good. Please don't close your computer. The transfer documents to Yulinton University have been processed, and they are being sent over to you now. Please receive them, and you can directly submit the files to Yulinton University later."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, the computer screen suddenly went black.
Then, ripples appeared in the center of the screen.
A mechanical claw with a black iron hue and complex structure extended out, holding a sealed file.
Having experienced this method of transmission before, Qiao Sang was much calmer this time. She reached out and took the file.
The mechanical claw was about to retract.
"Xunxun~"
But just as it was halfway back, Treasure Seeker grabbed the mechanical claw and curiously pinched it.
The mechanical claw seemed confused and froze in place.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang's lips twitched. "Treasure Seeker, let go quickly."
"Xunxun..."
Reluctantly, Treasure Seeker released the claw.
The mechanical claw, sensing the release, quickly retracted as if afraid of being grabbed again.
The screen quickly returned to normal after the mechanical claw retreated.
"Have you received it?" the other party asked.
"Yes, I have it." Qiao Sang looked at the file in her hand and replied.
"Great, have a wonderful holiday." The other party said with a smile and hung up the call.
