Chapter 178: As Expected, It's Addictive

The entire training ground went quiet.

The Berry Thorn's thorns stood on end, and it stood frozen in place, not daring to move at all.

The culprit, "Shi Gaofeng," turned around and prepared to go to the playground to run, but Zheng Zheng Guoping was quick-eyed and grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"Huanhuan?"

"Shi Gaofeng" turned his head, looking puzzled.

Zheng Zheng Guoping was silent for a long while, then asked: "What does 'Huanhuan' mean?"

"Shi Gaofeng" just opened his mouth to explain when he suddenly remembered something. A look of panic appeared on his face, and he covered his mouth with both hands. Sweat broke out on his forehead and kept dripping down.

Rather than sweat, it was more like water; the water flowed more and more, like it was raining.

Zheng Zheng Guoping looked at the unscientific sweating phenomenon in front of him and fell silent again.

He didn't immediately connect Shi Gaofeng with the Illusion Water Baby.

On one hand, there are many pet beasts in the world, and many possess strange traits and abilities; very few people can immediately connect strange phenomena with a specific pet beast.

On the other hand, he hadn't thought Shi Gaofeng could be this bold...

Although he had a guess in his heart, Zheng Zheng Guoping still felt it was unlikely, so he asked again: "I'll ask you again, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"Shi Gaofeng" looked pitifully at the Berry Thorn on the side, wanting to ask for help.

Being stared at like this, the Berry Thorn became even stiffer.

"Ya..."

Like Ya Bao couldn't bear to watch and wanted to help translate.

Qiao Sang covered its mouth with lightning speed.

"Yan Yan."

Like Ya Bao was quiet here, but on the other side, the Great Flame Sparrow began to translate again.

Wang Yao, who understood, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and her expression began to distort gradually.

The pet beast understood, but the person didn't... Zheng Zheng Guoping realized this, his face turned black instantly, and he gritted his teeth as he called out Shi Gaofeng's name.

"Shi Gaofeng" and the Berry Thorn shivered all over.

"You two, get out here!" After Zheng Zheng Guoping finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xu Yajie, who was trying hard to lower his presence: "And you, get out here too!"

Xu Xu Yajie: "..."

Only Qiao Sang and Wang Yao were left in the large training ground.

Zheng Zheng Guoping's roaring could be heard from outside from time to time.

Wang Yao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, how on earth did Shi Gaofeng's brain get him into Saint Water Middle School? He actually thought of such a ghost idea."

"But Shi Gaofeng was admitted through special recruitment; he only scored over 400 points in the high school entrance exam. Thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable that he could think of such an idea. Hahahaha, I can't do it, I'm laughing to death..."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Felt like she was being insulted...

Returned home in the evening.

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost couldn't wait to put on the virtual helmet and start it up.

Didn't expect the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's learning ability to be so strong; it even knew where the switch was... Qiao Sang was very gratified looking at the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's skilled movements in starting the virtual helmet.

After eating the energy pill, Like Ya Bao went to the courtyard to practice skill release as usual. Unlike in the past, the 16 Flame Listening Dogs, including the main body, were split into two groups: one group practiced Fire Fang, and the other practiced Telekinesis.

Qiao Sang, on the other hand, picked up a book again after many days and began to gnaw on it.

Must say, Wang Yao's words this morning still stimulated her slightly...

As someone who only scored 359 points in the high school entrance exam, Qiao Sang felt she still had to work hard.

In case she didn't need to rely on winning against Li Tan Middle School to get the qualification for the test to enter a top-tier institution, but could instead get into a top-tier institution directly through cultural scores, that wasn't impossible.

After all, the knowledge in beast taming high school is vastly different from middle school, and there are still three years until the college entrance exam. Isn't it just memorizing books and doing problems? Qiao Sang felt it wasn't a big problem for her.

As a result, after reading for only half an hour, Qiao Sang's mind was no longer in the book.

She thought of the National Campus Beast Taming League that Zheng Zheng Baolong mentioned this morning.

With her own golden finger plus the talents of Like Ya Bao and the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, it didn't seem impossible to win the National Campus Beast Taming League.

After all, the high school students participating in this competition are all around the same age, so Like Ya Bao could probably wipe out a large group with just one high-tier skill, Meteor Shower.

If she could win, why would she study hard for three years? Wouldn't it be great to be recommended in advance?

In her past life, there were super geniuses who were admitted to top-tier institutions in their first year of high school. Why couldn't she be such a person in this life?

Thinking this way, Qiao Sang couldn't read the book anymore. She went to the hall and stood in front of the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, who was wearing the virtual helmet, for five seconds.

"Xun?"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost took off the virtual helmet, looking confused.

It hadn't been two hours yet...

The virtual helmet can sense the outside world. If someone is within one meter, the virtual helmet's interface will give a prompt.

"I think practicing Dark Shadow Control can be put aside for now. Let's learn Ghost Fire first." Qiao Sang said.

Using the virtual helmet to learn Dark Shadow Control is a gamble in itself, and it doesn't matter if it can't be learned now. But Ghost Fire is a skill that must be learned at the beginner stage.

It would be fine if she didn't participate in the National Campus Beast Taming League, but if she participates and wants to achieve good results, she has to consider the strength of the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.

After all, in the National Campus Beast Taming League, those who can participate in the finals are all high school students who possess two intermediate pet beasts.

If she only has Like Ya Bao to confront them, it's easy to be thoroughly analyzed in all aspects. Even if Like Ya Bao is strong, once it encounters an opponent with attribute suppression and tactical analysis, there is still a possibility of defeat.

To be cautious, she must let the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost develop earlier...

"Xun..."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost felt like it was struck by lightning.

"We will absorb materials every day from now on. We'll rest when the ring can't absorb anymore." Qiao Sang said.

The energy absorbed by the ring every day will reach saturation after a certain degree and cannot be absorbed without limit.

"Super Xunxun."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost pointed to the virtual helmet.

Qiao Sang replied: "You have to absorb materials every day, and you have to practice Hypnosis and Telekinesis. It's too tiring. Don't practice Dark Shadow Control for now. We need to combine work and rest."

"Xun!"

"Super Xunxun!"

Upon hearing this, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost immediately patted its chest to show it wasn't afraid of being tired.

For a moment, Qiao Sang seemed to see Like Ya Bao's shadow on the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, but then she thought, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost doesn't have that kind of personality...

"You wouldn't be addicted to playing, would you?" Qiao Sang suspected.

"Super Xunxun!"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost hurriedly shook its head to deny it.

How could that be? It just felt that it still had a lot of free time to do other things!

Qiao Sang thought about it and said: "Then after you finish absorbing materials and practicing skills, if you still have time, teach Like Ya Bao how to Teleport."

No matter how well a pet beast trains its physical strength or how fast it trains its speed, no skill is as useful as Teleport.

Even if it becomes the fastest running pet beast in the school, so what?

During battle competitions, high-speed rotation, Quick Attack, Flame Charge—which skill isn't faster than running?

Teleport is naturally the strongest in terms of speed. In battle, whether it's dodging or consuming the opponent, it's an unparalleled divine skill.

It would naturally be best if Like Ya Bao could learn it.

"Xun..."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was dumbfounded.

It didn't give up and pointed to the helmet again.

"Super Xunxun?"

Qiao Sang replied: "When you learn Ghost Fire, you can continue to learn Dark Shadow Control."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost didn't delay for a second; it took off the ring and took out the materials needed for Ghost Fire from inside to set them up.

Qiao Sang: "..."

As expected, it's addictive...
