Chapter 216: Charging Bug

The female teacher was stunned for a good while upon hearing this before she remembered there was still the matter of energy replenishment.

It was just that the freakish freshman before her eyes had fought nearly twenty matches without ever replenishing, so she had almost forgotten this whole procedure...

Soon, a school doctor wearing a white coat walked over from outside the field.

On his shoulder perched an insect-type pet beast, most of its body rust-colored, with a helmet-like orange object edged in yellow on top of its head, its mouth pointing forward and serrated, also dressed in a white coat.

The instant she saw the insect-type pet beast in a white coat, Qiao Sang was taken aback — she hadn't expected the school doctor's pet beast to actually be a Charging Bug...

Most people who had been to a secret realm, or who hadn't been but had done thorough research on secret realms, were quite familiar with this pet beast.

The Charging Bug, an insect-type pet beast, is a very peculiar one among the pet beasts of the Yuhua Region.

It's not that it's especially rare — it's just that its characteristic trait is unforgettable, and combined with the fact that it cannot evolve, the two together make it a very unique existence.

The Charging Bug possesses the Charging trait, allowing it to store large amounts of energy and transfer it to other pet beasts.

Most people heading to a secret realm would, before setting out, find a beast master whose pet beast had healing-type skills to team up with.

Beast masters who owned a Charging Bug were quite sought-after as team members — after all, a Charging Bug could be used like an automatic replenishing energy recovery potion.

Although the market demand for Charging Bugs was huge, generally speaking, any beast master who wanted to achieve even the slightest success in beast mastery would not contract one, the fundamental reason being that the Charging Bug cannot evolve.

"Come here." The school doctor beckoned to Little Treasure Ghost.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure Ghost stared curiously at the Charging Bug in its white coat as it floated over.

This was the first time it had ever seen a pet beast wearing clothes anywhere outside of television...

"Go on." The school doctor turned his head and gave the Charging Bug a nod.

"Chong chong."

The Charging Bug nodded, then suddenly leapt with all its might onto Little Treasure Ghost's body.

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure Ghost got a fright and instinctively dodged sideways.

"Bam!"

The Charging Bug crashed to the ground in the process.

School doctor: "..."

"Sorry about that, I didn't explain things to it in advance." Qiao Sang scratched her head and said.

"... It's fine, most pet beasts would dodge when suddenly jumped on like that if they don't know what's going on." The school doctor said he understood.

He had to understand! The whole school was watching!

"Little Treasure, don't dodge in a bit — it's a doctor, here to replenish your energy." Qiao Sang instructed Little Treasure Ghost.

A doctor?!

The Charging Bug, which had just climbed back up, was instantly galvanized, quickly shook out its white coat, and in an instant forgot the pain from just now.

"Xun..."

Little Treasure Ghost scratched its head in embarrassment.

So it was a doctor...

After things were explained, Little Treasure Ghost took the initiative to grab the Charging Bug with its claws and place it on top of its own head.

"Xun xun!"

Just go ahead and charge!

The Charging Bug was completely stunned for a moment, but quickly got on with its duties.

"Chong chong!"

An intense blue light suffused the Charging Bug's entire body, and immediately afterward, Little Treasure Ghost, which was pressed against it, was also wrapped within the blue light.

Watching the ball of blue light on the field, the senior students collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you, how could she possibly stop fighting after beating just one person."

"That's not what you were saying just now."

"What did I say just now? I forgot."

"..."

"Allow me to correct that — she's already beaten eighteen people. Don't act like freshmen don't count."

"..."

Little Treasure Ghost, its energy replenished, returned to the battle area.

As the match began, Xia Chengqing snapped her fingers, and the Short-Eared Mouse immediately dug a hole in the ground and burrowed in.

Clearly, the finger snap was the signal to dig.

Qiao Sang watched this Gao San senior's finger-snap motion and the Short-Eared Mouse's coordination, lost in thought.

She had to admit, this move had given her excellent inspiration.

Just imagine — in the future, when she faced off against someone in a major tournament.

Her opponent would holler at the top of their lungs: "Dig a hole!"

While she herself would smile faintly, extend a hand and snap her fingers, and immediately a rain of fire would fall.

What presence! What a scene!

Just thinking about it was thrilling.

Not bad — it looked like this move could be put to use by her. She'd go back and arrange this signal with Ya Bao...

"Little Treasure, watch your surroundings." The thought lasted only an instant; Qiao Sang hadn't forgotten that a battle was currently underway.

Dig is an intermediate Ground-type skill, also called Burrow.

The pet beast first burrows underground, then unexpectedly bursts out of the earth to attack the opponent. Both its accuracy and attack power are very high, and among low- to mid-level Ground-type pet beasts it is often used as a finishing move.

"Xun!"

Little Xunbaogui nodded solemnly.

The instant it finished nodding, the Short-Eared Mouse suddenly burst out of the dirt, gathering force as it charged at it.

"Xun!"

Little Xunbaogui got a fright, jolting into action and using Teleport to dodge.

Then its eyes quickly flared blue as it looked at the Short-Eared Mouse, which hadn't yet fully landed.

The Short-Eared Mouse froze in midair.

The next second, the 360-degree spinning scene appeared before everyone once again.

"Short-Ear!

!"

The Short-Eared Mouse's shriek rang throughout the hall.

The whole venue fell silent.

If the previous dozen or so matches where Xunbaogui used Teleport while invisible had kept them from guessing toward the Psychic type, then now, with everyone watching, Xunbaogui had not only used Teleport but also a Psychic move — they didn't dare guess in that direction at all.

A pet beast with both the Ghost type and the Psychic type, two rare attributes, appearing right beside them — who the hell would dare imagine that!

"... I didn't expect Ghost type to have this move. It looks a lot like Teleport."

"Yeah…"

"And that Shadow Control — it seems like it can be used even without a shadow…"

"Yeah, and its eyes turn blue too."

"…"

On the other side, Principal Wang Weidou stared at the Xunbaogui on the field in a daze, muttering unconsciously, "Psychic type… Psychic… Psychic…"

Liu Yao turned his head away, not wanting to look at his foolish expression.

……

"Short-Eared Mouse has lost the ability to fight. Qiao Sang wins!"

Although most people had already had a premonition that Xia Chengqing would lose after seeing the final moment just now, once the result was actually announced, it still felt somewhat unbelievable.

Why couldn't the Intermediate pet beast Short-Eared Mouse break free from the control of the Beginner pet beast Xunbaogui!

It was absurd!

Whether from energy or physical stamina, this wasn't scientific, unless…

The skill's proficiency was terrifyingly high.

"What do you think the proficiency of Xunbaogui's Psychic… Shadow Control is?"

"It's already变态 for a Xunbaogui to learn Shadow Control, and you're asking about proficiency?"

"Not the Shadow Control from before — the 'Shadow Control' from this match where its eyes glowed blue."

"…That move? No idea. But being able to control a pet beast one rank higher, it's probably at the Great Completion level."

Although Xunbaogui's performance shocked many, the temptation of making the school team was simply too great, and the senior students still rushed up one after another to hand over their heads.

Unlike the matches against the new students, after each match against a senior student, Little Xunbaogui had to replenish its energy.

After all, the energy required to control an Intermediate pet beast was nothing like controlling a Beginner pet beast.

After 49 consecutive matches, a boy about 1.85 meters tall, with a sharply defined jawline and black hair covering half his forehead, walked up with his hands in his pockets.

"Class 9, Grade Gao San, Xue Chuhua."
