Chapter 113: Good Seedling

Qiao Sang was full of anticipation.

This was her first time seeing someone demonstrate coordination abilities in reality.

The Power Duck was entirely blue, with sturdy limbs, webbed feet, and webbed hands.

As a dual-type pet beast of the Fighting and Water types, the characteristics of these two attributes were displayed vividly on it.

"Power."

Seeing the Power Duck step forward, it displayed its well-developed left and right biceps respectively.

Upon seeing this, the Fire Tooth Dog forgot to maintain its deadpan expression; its eyes lit up, and it instantly became spirited.

After the Power Duck finished showing off its muscles, it tilted its head upward and opened its mouth, releasing about twenty transparent bubbles the size of ping-pong balls.

The Fire Tooth Dog's head gradually tilted upward along with the rising bubbles.

As the bubbles slowly fell, its head lowered along with them.

The transparent spherical water bubbles fell to the area above the Power Duck. It tensed its muscles and leaped, its fist like an arrow shot from a full-moon bow, launching an attack at the turtle-paced falling bubbles.

After breaking them one by one, the Power Duck performed a sliding kneel with both hands facing upward, as if waiting for something.

Immediately after, the transparent bubbles turned into water and poured onto the Power Duck all at once, drenching it into a "drowned duck"...

"..."

"Power."

Hearing no applause or cheers, the Power Duck stood up, wiped the water off its face, and bowed to the surrounding people to indicate that the performance was over.

"..."

Training Ground No. 2 fell silent. Many people felt they had watched nothing, including Qiao Sang.

That was it?

She had already prepared her applause, and this was what she got?

Was this the magnificent display of ultimate move combinations?

"Tooth?"

The Fire Tooth Dog tilted its head, clearly not understanding either.

"Seek."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost covered its mouth and laughed.

"Alright, next one," Luo Luo Qian said.

The second one to demonstrate was a little fatty, and his pet beast was an Ice Snow Civet.

Having seen the first performance, Qiao Sang no longer had any expectations for the second.

She realized she had been mistaken; she had actually expected to see the kind of eye-catching ultimate move combination displays seen on TV.

Those who appeared on TV to participate in coordination competitions were professional coordinators; how could they be compared to students who had just become Beast Tamers?

"Qiao Sang, what should I do? I'm so nervous," Jin Jin Feifan came to Qiao Sang's side and said with an uneasy expression.

"It's fine. Aren't you a special admission student for coordination? Just do what you did during the exam," Qiao Sang comforted her.

"But the day of the exam, Fang Qi demonstrated this same ultimate move combination, but the effect looked completely different from now," Jin Jin Feifan whispered.

Qiao Sang was stunned upon hearing this. The combination was the same, but the effect was different?

What could be different about the simple process of bubbles being broken and water splashing on the body?

Qiao Sang reviewed the scene of the Power Duck's performance in her mind. When the image froze on the frame where it spat out the bubbles, she suddenly had a guess.

When the Fire Tooth Dog battled the Water Circle Carp, the Water Circle Carp had also used this skill.

At that time, it was outdoors, and under the refraction of sunlight, the bubbles looked colorful and much more translucent.

Now, in the indoor training ground without lighting, they just looked like ordinary transparent bubbles.

By the same logic.

In this environment, the broken bubbles just looked like ordinary water, at most like water splashing from a showerhead in a bathroom; there was nothing special about it.

"Were you taking the exam outdoors at that time?" Qiao Sang asked.

Although Jin Jin Feifan was confused as to why her roommate asked this, she still answered honestly: "Yes."

"That's it then. Under the effect of light, the color of the bubbles is variable. This venue has no light, so the effect produced is different from what you saw on the day of your exam," Qiao Sang explained.

This problem was actually easy to understand with a little thought, but everyone was just watching it as a performance and wouldn't think in this direction at all.

If Jin Jin Feifan hadn't mentioned the gap between the two demonstrations, Qiao Sang wouldn't have started thinking about this problem either.

As for Jin Jin Feifan, it was her turn soon, which made her so nervous that all she could think about was what she should do later.

Jin Jin Feifan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, her eyes instantly brightening.

That was a Water-type ultimate move; it had nothing to do with her Grass-type!

At the same time, Luo Luo Qian, who had been secretly paying attention to this side with his ears pricked up, also had his eyes brighten.

Don't look at his smiling face, which seemed no different from usual; his heart had long been surging with waves.

The energy value matter at the beginning had truly shocked him.

Later, his gaze couldn't help but observe the Fire Tooth Dog.

This look was extraordinary—this fur, this appearance, this momentum; in a formal coordination competition, the first round of scoring regarding appearance would definitely be over 90 points!

And her Beast Tamer.

This girl had delicate features and a fair complexion; she was clearly a good seedling for a coordinator.

If she didn't grow up to be "ruined," she would definitely be someone who could amaze others the moment she appeared.

If his reputation weren't bad—where staring at someone of the opposite sex for more than three seconds made people think crookedly—he would have already been admiring her openly.

When he first entered this school, he also had high ambitions, but they were quickly worn away by reality.

Being the runner-up for ten thousand years, and occasionally third place, is the current status of Shengshui Middle School participating in provincial-level middle school student coordination competitions.

Since no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get first place, why force himself? It was better to spend more time enjoying life.

But the appearance of Qiao Sang today gave him a glimmer of hope. This freshman was simply born for coordination in every aspect. The fact that she analyzed the problem of light affecting perception so quickly just now made him even more certain of this point.

As long as the Fire Tooth Dog passed the first round, with its energy value and attack power, it would definitely be able to solve its opponents within the specified time in the second round of magnificent battles.

If the opponent was already on the ground, what was there to compete? It would definitely win!

The more Luo Luo Qian thought about it, the more he felt there was a chance of winning against Li Tan.

He must find a way to get this student into the coordination group!

Outside the door of Training Ground No. 2.

"Vice Principal, everything I said is true," Qin Wen said while holding her phone.

The other end of the phone was quiet for a moment, then a steady male voice came through the speaker: "Can you rule out the possibility that the energy tester is broken?"

"I can guarantee the machine is not broken. It was just checked by someone yesterday for today's testing," Qin Wen replied immediately.

Liu Yao was silent for a few seconds, then asked gently: "What are your thoughts?"

Qin Wen said in one breath what she had long prepared: "The energy value is at a level that only our sophomore students would reach. Qiao Sang has already contracted two pet beasts, and the second one, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost, also seems to listen to her very well. There should be no problem with training."

"She is extremely talented and has already far outpaced the freshmen of the same year. If she continues to train with the freshmen, I don't think it will help her grow well."

"I suggest teaching according to aptitude and letting her directly join the sophomore school team's intensive training. In this way, I am confident that she will win against Li Tan in the individual battle competition in her junior year... no, sophomore year."

The corners of Liu Yao's mouth widened, and he said in a gentle tone: "You are right, teach according to aptitude. I agree with this matter; go ahead and do it."

Qin Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Vice Principal was in charge of the intensive training; if it were other leaders, they might not be so easy to talk to.

She then remembered something and said worriedly: "There is one more thing. I am a bit worried that the Fire Tooth Dog has reached this energy value without evolving. If possible, I hope you can help take a look." ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
