Chapter 111

So it turns out that besides combat, there are also coordination competitions, and there are individual and group divisions.

Qiao Sang understood; no wonder there were pet beasts like the Little Ball Pu that were not good at fighting alone.

If it's a group battle, the Little Ball Pu has healing skills and can act as a healer. If it also knows skills like vines, it can also provide control. If it also knows attack skills like Razor Leaf, it can also provide containment. It is definitely the best pet beast choice for group battles.

Even if it doesn't fight in group battles, it's not bad for the Little Ball Pu to be selected into the coordination group based on its image.

"There is a very important reason for choosing you, and that is that the tacit understanding and cooperation between you and your pet beasts far exceed that of new students of the same grade. While they are still worrying about how to get along with their pet beasts, you can already command your pet beasts to fight. This is your talent."

"Some of you may not be the most outstanding among the new students, but in terms of cultivating pet beasts, you are the best!" Qin Wen encouraged loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's backs straightened a bit unconsciously, and even Jin Jin Feifan, who was trying to minimize her presence on the very edge, lifted her chin slightly.

Only Qiao Sang was dumbfounded.

Command pet beasts to fight?

Isn't it enough just to sign a contract?

This is the best?

Qin Wen saw everyone's reactions and changed the subject.

"I'll say one thing first: you are the school's initial choice, but not the final choice. I hope that through this training camp, all of you can make it to the final grouping, instead of being replaced halfway."

Qiao Sang sighed secretly; a round of praise and then a warning to everyone, letting them know that this training camp opportunity is not easy to come by.

As expected of a teacher, she has a way with words.

Sure enough, everyone's backs straightened even more.

"I won't say any more nonsense." Qin Wen pointed to an energy testing machine next to her and said, "Let's first test everyone's energy values. Come over and line up to let your pet beasts wear the test helmet."

The energy testing machine is different from a force gauge.

A force gauge measures strength, while an energy tester measures the energy value within the pet beast's body.

In short, it is a high-tech product that is countless times more expensive than a force gauge.

Qiao Sang had a bit of a psychological shadow regarding the testing machine.

However, Qiao Sang felt it was not a big problem to just wear a helmet for testing without having to release skills.

"Testing this won't be to select people for the combat group, right?" Zheng Zheng Yining leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Very likely," Qiao Sang nodded.

The energy value can show the pet beast's endurance and the power of releasing skills, and these are things that are more valued in combat competitions, while it seems to have little effect in coordination competitions.

"It's over, it's over. If I had known we would do this on the first day, I would have let Long Ears eat more energy meals this morning," Zheng Zheng Yining said anxiously.

The energy meal had just been eaten and was still in the body without being digested. If tested, the value would have some deviation, but it wouldn't be too large.

Qiao Sang glanced at the Long-Eared Cat on the ground that was elegantly licking its claws and said, "I think the Long-Eared Cat is more suitable for coordination competitions."

Zheng Zheng Yining sighed when she heard this and said, "I know, but Long Ears is not interested in coordination competitions; it only likes combat."

Qiao Sang was stunned and looked at the Long-Eared Cat licking its claws again.

You really can't judge a pet beast by its appearance...

She thought of something and suddenly turned her head to ask Jin Jin Feifan next to her: "Is there any group you want to join?"

Jin Jin Feifan said embarrassedly: "Little Ball and I both want to join the coordination group."

"Pu."

The Little Ball Pu echoed weakly on the side.

Qiao Sang nodded; this was not surprising.

During the chat, the queue had already formed, and soon the first person finished testing.

"Wang Wang Jihang, 2602."

Qin Wen reported the value on the screen of the tester connected to the test helmet.

The energy value of a beginner pet beast is between 1 and 【redacted】, and as a newly contracted pet beast for a new Beast Tamer, this energy value is quite good.

Luo Luo Qian was on the side with a pen, bowing his head to record.

"Next."

As she spoke, Qin Wen reached out to take off the test helmet on the Bubble Bell's head.

Who would have thought that the Bubble Bell would tilt its head and dodge it.

Qin Wen was stunned and reached out again. This time, the Bubble Bell floated up directly with the helmet on its head.

"Ling."

The Bubble Bell laughed while floating, thinking someone was playing with it.

"Wang Wang Jihang." Qin Wen helplessly called the name of its Beast Tamer.

"Big King Ling, be good, hurry and take off the helmet," Wang Wang Jihang stepped forward anxiously.

"Ling."

The Bubble Bell smiled and called out to its Beast Tamer, then floated in the opposite direction.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Is this really capable of commanding combat?

Fortunately, the wire of the test helmet was connected to the tester, so the Bubble Bell didn't float very far.

The test proceeded very quickly.

Among the first 10 people, the highest was Lu You's Little Horned Dragon with an energy value of 5630, and the lowest was Peng Peng Xiaoyuan's Li Lu Jian Sparrow with an energy value of 911.

Zheng Zheng Yining returned dejectedly, holding the Long-Eared Cat that had just finished testing.

The Long-Eared Cat's energy value was 1156. If the grouping was really based on energy value, she obviously couldn't rank in the top 6.

Not to mention that there was still Big Boss Qiao behind her; the combat group probably had nothing to do with her.

"Next."

Qiao Sang walked forward.

The remaining 11 people looked over in unison, giving absolute attention, especially Lu You and Lu Lu Liangye, who had lost to Qiao Sang before; they wished they could stare a hole through her.

It is common for peers to compare with each other, and Lu You had never lost among his peers since contracting the Little Horned Dragon.

Until he met Qiao Sang...

Lu You stared fixedly at Qiao Sang's back.

After losing that time, he had watched all the subsequent matches Qiao Sang played in the Hundred New Competition. He had to admit that she was indeed much stronger than him in combat; she was actually able to use a Fire Tooth Dog to win against a Control-Charming Puppet.

That said, he still felt a breath of anger in his heart, always feeling that as long as he was given time, he could beat her.

After all, he contracted a dragon-type pet beast, the Little Horned Dragon, while Qiao Sang contracted a Fire Tooth Dog. Whether in terms of attributes or future growth, he was a step ahead.

He thought he wouldn't meet her again, but he didn't expect her to be a new student at Shengshui Middle School as well.

What he didn't expect even more was that when he met her again, she had actually brought a Treasure-Hunting Ghost.

But even so, as long as the Fire Tooth Dog's energy value was lower than the Little Horned Dragon's during the test, he could comfort himself.

As long as he was given time...

"Xun~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost floated over impatiently.

It had been watching from behind and had long wanted to try this thing.

The Fire Tooth Dog was a bit distracted in its Beast Tamer's arms.

No training today, it felt so boring...

Qin Wen was slightly stunned, then reacted and put the helmet on the Treasure-Hunting Ghost's head.

"Qiao Sang, Treasure-Hunting Ghost, 1388."

Qiao Sang was stunned when she heard the value. Others didn't know, but she knew clearly that the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was not even a month old yet. This value could rank seventh among the pet beasts tested earlier.

Is it too high?

After Qin Wen reported the value, she reached out to take off the helmet.

As a result, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost tilted its head and dodged it, and stared at her while blinking its eyes.

Qin Wen: "..."

"Qiao Sang," Qin Wen called Qiao Sang's name directly.

She shook her head secretly; although this child has high talent, it was still a bit too much to contract a fire-type and a ghost-type at the beginning.

It would probably take a long time to train the pet beasts to cooperate later.

She knew the Fire Tooth Dog was no problem, but this Treasure-Hunting Ghost...

"Little Treasure," Qiao Sang said.

"Xun~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost responded obediently, then used its own claws to take off the helmet.

Qin Wen: "...!"

Everyone was stunned by the Treasure-Hunting Ghost's actions and turned their heads to look at Wang Wang Jihang in unison.

Wang Wang Jihang was red-faced from embarrassment and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me!"
