Chapter 1041: Little Xunbao wants to train

No. 101, Bosai Manor.

Bedroom.

Little Xunbao is watching the news on the TV.

"At 4:56 PM today, a Beast Tamer with a Ghost Ring King captured a man. At that moment, a gale blew up, sweeping away the man's clothing. The man transformed into the appearance of a Clothes-Changing Totem. The Ghost Ring King was no match for the Clothes-Changing Totem and let it escape."

"According to eyewitnesses, this variant Ghost Ring King was not the wanted Ghost Ring King. The wanted Ghost Ring King was actually transformed from this Clothes-Changing Totem. The Ghost Ring King's Beast Tamer, in order to clear the Ghost Ring King's name, used various means to lock onto the Clothes-Changing Totem and risked everything to capture it. Currently, the Public Security Bureau has launched an investigation..."

The TV screen switches to surveillance footage. In the video, which is reasonably clear, a gust of wind blows onto the blond-haired, blue-eyed man, sweeping away all the items on him. The man twists and transforms into the Clothes-Changing Totem.

Immediately after, a young girl with a ponytail stands opposite the man, loudly proclaiming the Ghost Ring King's innocence.

The Clothes-Changing Totem says nothing, only looking at the Ghost Ring King with blue light glowing in its eyes.

The Ghost Ring King appears inexplicably in its hand, then its eyes roll back, and it falls into a faint.

The Clothes-Changing Totem disappears.

The Ghost Ring King falls from mid-air.

The surveillance footage freezes.

Little Xunbao changes the channel.

"At 4:56 PM today, on Kaozuo Avenue, a Beast Tamer with a Ghost Ring King..."

It's the same news again.

Little Xunbao watches in silence.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao senses that Little Xunbao is a bit off. It comes to its Beast Tamer's side, lowers its voice, and lets out a cry, asking if Little Xunbao is in a bad mood right now.

You can tell, so how could it be good... Qiao Sang also lowers her voice and says:

"Seems like it."

"Yaya?" Like Ya Bao is puzzled.

Hasn't its innocence already been proven?

"Yaya!"

After saying this, it seems to think of something, suddenly realizing. It subconsciously raises its voice and lets out a cry, asking if it's because that guy wasn't caught.

"This should only be one of the reasons..." Qiao Sang guesses.

To be honest, she feels that more of it is because Little Xunbao was defeated effortlessly in public, and then it was broadcast everywhere on various news channels on TV.

You have to know, although Little Xunbao is usually cheeky, loves to play, and dislikes training, it is exceptionally serious during competitions and wants to win.

She knows that it enjoys the feeling of being cheered by everyone after a victory.

Enjoying it means it cares.

In other words, it feels embarrassed.

Just as she is thinking this, the TV turns off.

Little Xunbao floats silently toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Sang asks.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao turns its head, teary-eyed, with snot still hanging, but its expression is full of determination.

It's going to train!

After saying this, it turns around and is about to continue floating outward.

"Wait." Qiao Sang says.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao turns its head again, lets out a firm cry, indicating not to stop it!

Why would I stop you if you want to train... Qiao Sang mutters to herself, then says slowly:

"Your energy consumption is too slow when training alone. To consume energy quickly, you still need to battle. I'll have Like Ya Bao and the others accompany you."

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao lets out a cry, indicating it has no problem.

Lubao doesn't say a word, jumps out of the water tank, and walks toward the door, using its actions to show that it also has no problem.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao nods, indicating it's okay.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao looks at Little Xunbao with sympathetic eyes, lets out a cry, indicating that since everyone is going, it will go too.

Little Xunbao's body stiffens. After looking at Like Ya Bao, Lubao, and Gangbao, it remembers the news of itself being defeated and broadcast repeatedly. It grits its teeth and nods with an expression as if it were going to heroically sacrifice itself:

"Xunxun!"

Soon, Little Xunbao and the others leave one after another.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go?" Qiao Sang looks at Qingbao and asks.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao is in a bad mood, the wind around it constantly blowing up. It lets out a cry, indicating that its going doesn't seem to have much effect anyway, since Like Ya Bao and the others are helping with the battle.

It just noticed that Little Xunbao didn't look at it when it left, clearly not taking its combat power seriously.

"Who said it doesn't have much effect..."

Before Qiao Sang can finish her sentence, a heaven-shaking scream of "Xunxun!" suddenly comes from outside.

"Qingqing!"

Qingbao instantly perks up, lets out a cry, indicating that what she said is very right, it must go.

After saying this, it impatiently turns into wind and floats outward, as if it wants to go watch the excitement.

Qiao Sang: "..."

No, I haven't even said anything yet...

"Guigui?"

At this moment, Guinaoke, sitting in front of the computer, lets out a cry.

Almost forgot about you... Qiao Sang turns to look at it, pauses for a moment, and says apologetically:

"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

Guinaoke doesn't speak, only turns its head and types a line of text on the computer with a clatter, then points at the screen.

Qiao Sang walks over to take a look:

【Do you still need to continue searching?】

You can actually type... Qiao Sang says without thinking:

"Yes."

Guinaoke says nothing more, raises its claw, and prepares to reach into the screen.

"Wait a moment first." Qiao Sang says, taking out her phone, searching for a black miniature shrinking bracelet, placing it on the table, and saying:

"Besides the Clothes-Changing Totem, you can look for pet beasts or people wearing this style of miniature shrinking bracelet."

Little Xunbao's lost hair accessory has already been found, so it's impossible to search through the hair accessory. She noticed that after the Clothes-Changing Totem lost everything on its body, only a black miniature shrinking bracelet remained.

The bracelet is a big brand, and the style is also a classic one. It existed before she went to the Super Su Xing, so it's not hard to find.

"Guigui."

Guinaoke nods.

Immediately, it thinks of something and types four characters:

【I understand】

"Sorry to trouble you." Qiao Sang says.

Guinaoke types again:

【Not a trouble, it's all work. Just remember to make up the final payment of nine points.】

Qiao Sang: "..."

Guinaoke's claw reaches into the screen.

At the same time, the phone vibrates.

Qiao Sang picks it up and sees it's a call from Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala. She chooses to answer:

"Hello?"

The voice from the other end comes through: "Where are you now?"

"At home." Qiao Sang says.

"Wait for me."

"Beep beep..." The call hangs up.

The next second, Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala's voice sounds:

"I'm here."

Qiao Sang comes to the living room.

Teacher Mi Jiala sits on the sofa, looks at her, and gets straight to the point:

"I saw the news."

Good thing Little Xunbao isn't here right now... Qiao Sang comes to the single sofa nearby, sits down, and sighs:

"Just like what the news said, and just as I guessed, those things were done by the Clothes-Changing Totem transforming into Little Xunbao's appearance. But although I found it, unfortunately, it was on the street, and there were too many people around, so I didn't dare to use moves with high aggression. Some of Little Xunbao's control-type skills couldn't bind it at all..."

As she speaks, Qiao Sang immediately thinks of something and asks:

"Teacher, since you watched the news, you should have seen the scene where the Clothes-Changing Totem controlled Little Xunbao to its side. At that time, I tried to recall Little Xunbao to the Beast Taming Canon, why couldn't I recall it?"

"That's because the Clothes-Changing Totem used 'Imprison' on its hand. Pet beasts held in its hand cannot be recalled." Teacher Mi Jiala explains.

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang suddenly realizes.

Imprison, a high-tier Psychic-type skill. It imprisons the opponent. The imprisoned target cannot move, cannot use any movement-type skills, and cannot be recalled by the Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang is silent for a few seconds, then says:

"It seems this Clothes-Changing Totem is already very familiar with the world here."

Teacher Mi Jiala agrees:

"This Clothes-Changing Totem is not simple. It can speak human language and use Imprison to prevent pet beasts from being recalled by Beast Tamers. It differs greatly from ordinary wild pet beasts. It's not your fault that it escaped this time; it is indeed very shrewd."

Qiao Sang sighs:

"I don't know when I'll find it next time."

"You don't need to look for it anymore." Teacher Mi Jiala says: "I initially thought it was a variant pet beast that looked the same as the Ghost Ring King, so I was quite interested. Now that you've found the Clothes-Changing Totem and made it reveal its true form in front of everyone's eyes, you've also cleared the Ghost Ring King's name. This matter can be considered concluded. You don't need to do this mission anymore."

"What you need to do now is to check the Ghost Ring King's energy state at all times, and let the Steel Sword Falcon train Abyss Bite."

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Qiao Sang says.

Teacher Mi Jiala looks over: "Why?"

As soon as she finishes speaking, a loud "Boom!" sounds from outside, followed by a scream of "Xunxun!".

Qiao Sang sighs and says:

"Little Xunbao is now determined to become stronger and wants to capture the Clothes-Changing Totem to wash away its shame. I can't stop it."

How can a Beast Tamer not be able to stop their pet beast? I think you just don't want to stop it... Teacher Mi Jiala turns her head to look at the training ground through the floor-to-ceiling window and says:

"I understand, suit yourself."

Qiao Sang probes:

"Then the mission you assigned..."

Teacher Mi Jiala knows what she wants to ask and says with a smile in her tone:

"As long as you capture the Clothes-Changing Totem within the time frame I mentioned, the points will still be given to you."

The points for finding Guinaoke weren't spent in vain... Qiao Sang breathes a sigh of relief.

"What did the principal want with you?" Teacher Mi Jiala changes the subject.

Speaking of this, Qiao Sang can't help but perk up: "She said she applied for an energy bath spot for me, in a week."

Teacher Mi Jiala says calmly:

"Members of the Emperor Class who have made huge contributions can themselves obtain a chance to go to the energy bath. You contracted a legendary pet beast, which can completely be called a huge contribution. It is indeed possible to go to the energy bath."

As she speaks, she looks at Qiao Sang:

"The principal is quite caring toward you, applying for you personally."

Qiao Sang nods in agreement: "Indeed, she also gave me 10,000 points."

"How many points?" Teacher Mi Jiala is stunned.

"10,000 points." Qiao Sang repeats.

Teacher Mi Jiala is silent.

After a few seconds, she changes the subject again:

"I heard you also went to the police station today."

Qiao Sang says "Hmm": "It was about the Clothes-Changing Totem, helping the police with the investigation."

She thinks of something and starts gossiping:

"Did you see the little girl who was always next to me in the news? You wouldn't know, the Clothes-Changing Totem has actually been staying with this little girl during this time, occasionally transforming into her appearance to help her skip class. Didn't the information you gave me say that the 'Ghost Ring King' shattered the glass of a certain school and stole a certain student's homework? That school is the one the little girl attends, and the homework was also the little girl's, just because the little girl said she didn't want to go to school."

The Clothes-Changing Totem is hard to catch, but the little girl associated with it was brought to the police station easily. Even if she didn't want to talk, she had no secrets in front of a pet beast that could make people tell the truth.

Qiao Sang uncovered the identity of the "Ghost Ring King," so the people at the police station didn't hide it.

Hearing this news, she also checked and found that after the school's glass shattered for no reason, the school did indeed have a holiday for several days to investigate the cause.

Teacher Mi Jiala pricks up her ears, listening carefully, and then gossips in a flat tone:

"I also heard that a man wearing only boxer shorts ran into the police station later."

"That's the girl's dad." Qiao Sang explains:

"Today's school was attended by the Clothes-Changing Totem on behalf of the girl, but unfortunately, it met me. At first, I didn't notice anything wrong. I saw the girl communicating with her dad in human language, so I went back. Later, I realized something was wrong. When I looked for her again, I found the real girl."

"The Clothes-Changing Totem also felt something was wrong because I had previously taken the Ghost Ring King to look for it. So later, when I found the little girl, it knocked out the girl's dad and stripped off his clothes to wear them and impersonate him."

After listening, Teacher Mi Jiala smiles and says:

"It seems it can also use space movement. Since the Clothes-Changing Totem has such a good relationship with the little girl, you might be able to find it based on the little girl's whereabouts."

The police should already be doing that... Qiao Sang looks out the window and says:

"It's rare for Little Xunbao to be inspired to train. I'll let it train well during this time."

Otherwise, even if I find the Clothes-Changing Totem, I won't be able to beat it.

Little Xunbao is training so hard, it should be because it wants to defeat the Clothes-Changing Totem itself.

Teacher Mi Jiala doesn't talk about this topic anymore and says instead:

"The Fierce-Evil Potion should be bought."

Qiao Sang nods:

"Understood."

Just as she finishes speaking, there is another loud "Boom" outside.

Qiao Sang looks at Little Xunbao, who has fallen to the ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and says:

"I'll go over there first."

Open-air training ground.

With a loud "Boom", the shockwave carrying flames explodes in the high altitude.

Little Xunbao dodges in time and teleports to a place a hundred meters away.

But at this moment, hundreds of purple blades attack.

Little Xunbao teleports again.

When it appears dozens of meters away, a giant ice cone like a small mountain slams heavily onto its body.

"Bang!"

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao is smashed to the ground, seeing stars, and faints directly.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao covers its eyes halfway with its claws in the high altitude, unable to bear watching.

The "ice mountain" disappears.

The gem on Lubao's forehead glows.

A dark blue light envelops Little Xunbao.

"Xunxun!"

Not long after, Little Xunbao floats up again, full of energy, indicating to continue.

At this moment, Qiao Sang walks over and says:

"Don't continue yet."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao looks at its Beast Tamer and lets out a firm cry, indicating that it has no problems at all and can continue.

"That's not what I meant." Qiao Sang says:

"In this way of battling, you can only use teleportation to dodge back and forth. You fell before using other skills much, so it doesn't serve the purpose of consuming energy."

As she speaks, she looks at Like Ya Bao and the others and instructs:

"You need to slow down the frequency of your attacks, so Little Xunbao has a chance to counterattack and use other skills."

"Yaya!"

"Ice Emperor."

"Steel Sword."

Like Ya Bao and the others nod, indicating they understand.

Qiao Sang looks at Little Xunbao and smiles:

"You can continue now."

After saying this, she turns back.

Little Xunbao: "..." ===== CHAPTER 1042 =====
