Chapter 298 - 298 285 Forgive Me

Chapter 298: Chapter 285 Forgive Me! Chapter 298: Chapter 285 Forgive Me! Not going up?

How could that be acceptable!

Qiao Sang mulled it over and immediately wanted to say something that would draw hatred.

Just at that moment, Sun Boyi spoke up, “Although Qiao Sang is just a freshman, the battle just now was enough to show her strength. None of you should have any objections to her joining our senior team, right?”

Aside from He Daotao, who was looking completely dejected, the rest of the senior team members shook their heads one after another.

No objections?

Does that mean no fight?!

Unacceptable!

That’s absolutely unacceptable!

“Ahem.” Qiao Sang cleared her throat, trying to draw everyone’s attention to her.

Before she could speak, Sun Boyi continued,

“Since everyone’s fine with it, then tomorrow, after He Daotao’s Pet Beast has recovered, along with Xu Yixuan and Zhang Dezhou, the three of you can select from each other. Whoever loses will be the substitute.”

Having nurtured He Daotao and the others for over two years, it’s false to say there was no emotional attachment. Of course, Sun Boyi hoped that these seniors could all participate in what would be their last National School Beast Taming Competition.

But this was a national competition, not only a matter of personal honor but also linked to the school’s honor, so naturally, the strongest must prevail.

Upon hearing this, He Daotao’s spirits lifted as he responded loudly, “Understood!”

He felt revived!

Typically, his battles with Zhang Dezhou split around 60-40.

His 60, Zhang Dezhou’s 40—a number that sounded very auspicious!

Unable to beat the freakish junior girl, but surely able to beat Zhang Dezhou, right?

Zhang Dezhou inwardly “hehe’d,” without even having to look at He Daotao. Simply by the excitement in his voice, he knew exactly what he was thinking.

“Ahem.” Qiao Sang coughed twice during the pause.

However, Sun Boyi continued,

“I won’t say much else. In about a month, the National School Beast Taming Competition will be upon us, so let’s get serious with our training, just like always.” As he said this, Sun Boyi suddenly remembered it was Qiao Sang’s first time here and that she might not be familiar with the usual training, so he added,

“You guys form teams, pair up for battles, and after you’re done, switch. After everyone has rotated and battled the other five people, practice the team battle mode for an hour in groups of three, and then you can go home.”

“As for He Daotao, you go to the infirmary today and get your Pet Beast treated.”

After finishing, Sun Boyi looked at Qiao Sang with concern, “Is your throat a bit uncomfortable?”

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before replying, “It’s quite comfortable.”

…

Knowing that there would be battles following, Qiao Sang naturally wouldn’t bother saying something that would draw hatred for no reason.

After all, they were going to train together in the future, so of course, it’s better to get along well.

In the end, she wasn’t some sort of battle fanatic; it was all just driven by the score points.

“Why are you all so tired? Keep going!” Qiao Sang looked at the seniors who had barely battled a few rounds with “I can’t do this anymore” written all over their faces with bewilderment.

They had only been battling for about an hour!

This was far from enough! The teacher had just left, so why had everyone lost their spirit?!

“Ya Ya!”

Yaobao then looked at those lying on the ground, huffing and puffing with great enthusiasm, and cried out.

Don’t just lie there! Get up and continue the battle!

Everyone: “…”

All Pet Beasts: “…”

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao, having battled a few rounds, showed an expression that said, “Maybe we should just call it quits.”

“Ya Ya!”

Yaobao nodded agreeably.

If you’re tired, take a rest. I’ll fight!

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously.

It thought this was a great idea!

Listening to their conversation, Qiao Sang turned to Xiao Xunbao and said seriously, “No, you’ve only fought three rounds. You need to battle at least two more. If you’re injured, we have Lubao, and if you’re tired, we have Energy Recovery Potion.”

With that, Qiao Sang looked towards Lubao, who was holding an Energy Recovery Potion with its paws and drinking, and said with a smile,

“Right, Lubao?”

“Lubao.”

Lubao called out with a cool expression, agreeing.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao looked pitifully at Yaobao, seeking help.

Little did he know that Yaobao was nodding its head, with a face full of agreement.

“Ya Ya.”

The arrangements of his own Beast Tamer were very much in place.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

Not far away, Zhang Dezhou was sitting on the ground with his hands propped up, legs spread out in a V-shape, and lamented, “Junior, why don’t we take a break? We’ve been competing non-stop without any rest, anyone would be overwhelmed!”

The others nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, “Senior, you’re a member of the combat team, right?”

Zhang Dezhou was stunned for a second, “Yes, I am.”

Since everyone had introduced themselves before the training, Zhang Dezhou didn’t understand why Qiao Sang was suddenly asking this.

Had she not remembered it just now?

Or did she think he was so handsome that she had to ask again to impress his image more firmly in her memory?

Or was it perhaps a provocation? Thinking that, as a combat team member, he was still so weak?

As Zhang Dezhou was wildly guessing, Qiao Sang asked:

“Aren’t you participating in an elimination match tomorrow? I remember Teacher Sun said that those who lose will have to become substitutes. Aren’t you nervous at all?”

Which implied: What rest! You need to pick who becomes a substitute tomorrow, you’d better seize the last bit of time and train hard!

Zhang Dezhou was stunned for several seconds, his face changed, and he stood up from the ground with his hands propped up, shouting at his Pet Beast:

“Piaopiao Ling! No breaks! We continue!”

Piaopiao Ling: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Qiao Sang nodded in satisfaction. That’s more like it!

…

The training method of the senior three school team was much tougher than that of the senior two school team, and it lasted much longer. By the time they finished training and walked out of the school gate, the sky had already turned completely dark.

“Yaobao, why don’t you go back to the Beast Taming Codex and rest first?” Qiao Sang asked, looking at the exhausted Yaobao sympathetically.

She was previously so delighted about the points coming in that she almost forgot about the current relationship between Yaobao and Lubao; Lubao wouldn’t treat Yaobao at all…

“Ya…”

Yaobao weakly shook its head.

Just walking, it could…

Qiao Sang: “…”

Even shaking its head was so strenuous, yet it still said that. It’s just like you…

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ponder.

If the relationship between Yaobao and Lubao couldn’t be mended in the short term, the efficiency of the training would be much worse.

Going on like this, if Yaobao was always so tired after returning from school training, she felt she wouldn’t have the heart to ask it to train in Skill release anymore…

Not to mention, there was only about a month left until the National Campus Beast Taming Competition.

“You freaking stop following me! I don’t want to see you anymore!”

“What did I do this time?”

At that moment, the sounds of a quarreling man and woman came from the street, and Qiao Sang looked over instinctively.

“We agreed on 6 PM tonight, and now it’s 7:33 PM when you finally show up. Did you oversleep again? All you ever do is sleep, almost as much as your Sky-piercing Pig!”

“What’s your problem every day!”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“You’ve been babbling on and on all day, wasn’t it you who told me that putting on makeup might take time and asked me to come later?”

“I said a bit later, but I didn’t mean one and a half hours later!”

“I just dozed off for a bit. Who knew I’d oversleep.”

“Anyway, stop following me now, you just annoy me!”

“Don’t be like that!”

The woman didn’t pay him any more attention and turned to leave.

Just as Qiao Sang thought there was no more drama to witness, the man sighed, formed a seal with his hands, and summoned an orange-colored Pet Beast with ears like a rabbit’s.

“Pang Gu.” The man signaled understandingly with his eyes to the long-eared Pet Beast.

“Gu Gu.” The long-eared Pet Beast, getting the hint, patted its belly and called out to the woman’s retreating figure.

An energy wave similar to a sound wave traveled towards the woman.

When the energy reached her, the man caught up and grabbed the woman, pleading, “Forgive me!”

The woman gave him a stern look and said coquettishly, “Don’t let this happen again next time!”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”
