Chapter 220: Heart Stirred

"Snow, the Snow Centipede can no longer battle. Qiao Sang wins!" the female teacher announced, her voice trembling.

He had lost... Xue Chuhua, lost and dazed, recalled the Snow Centipede into the Beast Codex.

At this moment, the entire Holy Water Hall had completely erupted; nearly all the students had gone wild.

"Oh my god! How is Qiao Sang this strong!"

"The Flame Listener Hound is so cool!"

"By the way, what was that just now? Did my eyes play tricks on me? How did the Flame Listener Hound suddenly disappear?"

"I saw it too! And that Fire Fang move! Why does it feel different from a normal Fire Fang?"

"Don't you guys think the move where the Flame Listener Hound got next to the Snow Centipede looks a lot like the Treasure Ghost's teleportation?"

"You— you mean..."

"Exactly what you're thinking."

"!!!"

"Lao Yao." Principal Wang Weidou's eyes were fixed intently on Qiao Sang in the arena as he asked, "Compared with Ding Yanjing from Li Tan, who do you think is stronger?"

Liu Yao thought for a moment and said, "If they were the same age, then naturally Qiao Sang would be stronger. Give Qiao Sang another half a year, and there's a chance she could match Ding Yanjing. But right now, Qiao Sang can't beat him."

Ding Yanjing, the pride of heaven at Li Tan Beast-Taming High School, is in his final year of high school this year.

In his year, during the national high school campus Beast-Taming League's first-year division, he took first place in the entire province, and later achieved impressive results in the regional tournament as well.

Now he only needs to pass the D-rank Beast Tamer assessment, and then he can take the entrance tests for the top academies. With his strength, getting into a top academy is already a certainty.

He is a treasure for Li Tan High School, and also a rather special existence for Holy Water Middle School.

Although Holy Water Middle School has always been suppressed by Li Tan Middle School, in previous years it was still hot on their heels, and the gap was never too huge.

But ever since Ding Yanjing's year at the national school-team Beast-Taming League, the gap has visibly widened.

As long as you faced him in a match, there was simply no hope of winning.

That alone would be bad enough, but Ding Yanjing has one flaw: he likes to hear his opponents admit defeat in person.

If the other side refuses to concede, he will repeatedly torment their pet beast during the match. Xue Chuhua dropped out of the school team precisely because she lost to Ding Yanjing back in her first year of high school.

This behavior at the time drew the displeasure of leaders from various schools, and Wang Weidou was one of them.

Wang Weidou was not willing to give up, and continued asking, "What do you think if I let Qiao Sang enter this year's national campus Beast-Taming League's third-year division?"

Under normal circumstances, the national middle school campus Beast-Taming League is divided into groups by grade level. If nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Sang should be entering the first-year division.

"You need to think this through." Liu Yao glanced at him. "If Qiao Sang enters the first-year division, her chances of getting first place in the province for this year's first-year group are over 99%. If she enters the third-year division, there's a high probability she won't get first."

Wang Weidou fell silent.

Although he very much wanted a student from his own school to beat Ding Yanjing, what he wanted even more was to beat Li Tan High School in front of all the major media and shed the title of eternal runner-up.

"Anyone else coming up?" Seeing that no one stepped forward for a long while, the female teacher asked into the microphone.

Everyone exchanged glances, you pushing me, me pushing you....

"Didn't you say you wanted to go up? Hurry up and go now."

"Didn't you also just say you were going up? You go first."

"I was just saying it for the atmosphere, I don't actually want to go up."

"I was also just saying it casually. My grades are in the top hundred of the whole school, getting into a decent university is no problem, why would I still bother with the school team."

Pfft, if you don't dare go up just say so, what kind of excuse is that...

Heh, likewise, likewise...

The two who had spoken exchanged a look, then tacitly looked away.

On the arena.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao wagged her tail, looking at her own beast tamer with an expectant expression.

Where's the opponent! She remembered being told that as long as she didn't lose, she could keep fighting!

Don't rush, she just needs to drop a fierce line, she's familiar with this move... Qiao Sang gave Like Ya Bao a look that said "hold your horses."

Before she could make any move, the female teacher beside her suddenly spoke up and asked, "Microphone, do you want one?"

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

The female teacher wore an expression that said "just as I expected."

Qiao Sang: "..."

She didn't want to either!

But if she didn't say something, absolutely no one would come up, and if no one came up, what about her points?

There were so many people now. If she didn't take the chance to milk more points, she had no idea when she'd be able to gather enough for Like Ya Bao to evolve into an advanced pet beast.

She'd already offended plenty of people anyway, one more time wouldn't make a difference... Qiao Sang stepped forward, took the microphone the female teacher handed her, looked up, and said: "There won't really be no one left to fight, right?"

No one spoke.

Like hell anyone's going up!

One Treasure Ghost wasn't enough, and now there's also a Flame Listener Hound with both Fire-type and Psychic-type abilities. How are you supposed to fight that?

It's just one spot on the school team, can't they just give it up?!

Seeing that the crowd didn't react much, Qiao Sang continued, "I haven't even gotten serious yet, and you're already not fighting?"

The crowd stirred a little, but still no one stepped up.

Qiao Sang was now a bit puzzled.

Like Ya Bao hadn't even shown her ultimate move just now, so why was no one coming up?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and decided to play a ruthless card.

"Whoever beats me, I'll give them a secret manual that can teach teleportation."

A teleportation secret manual?!

Everyone present was a little dumbfounded.

These days, who doesn't have to spend a fortune to learn a single skill?

Beast tamers who pinched every penny and lived miserably just to teach their pets a new skill were everywhere.

If it's really a teleportation secret manual, it'd start at six figures at least!

Even if their own pet couldn't learn it, they could just sell it and strike it rich!

Everyone present, including the teachers, could hardly sit still.

Good lord, that manual's worth more than a year's salary!

One pet learning it could be a coincidence, but two pets both knowing it is enough to prove the manual's authenticity.

In an instant, it was no longer just the Gao San students charging forward like before; Gao Yi and Gao Er students were also pushing their way to the front.

People really do need a little temptation after all… Qiao Sang watched the crowd squeezing together trying to get up and was quite pleased with her own cleverness.

"What are you pushing for!"

"I came down first, alright!"

"You're a Gao Yi student, right? Do you even have an intermediate pet? What are you coming down here to join the fun for?"

"I want to, what's it to you?"

"Everyone quiet down!" Qiao Sang said, waving her hand.

The speaker was the protagonist who had triggered this whole incident, so everyone graciously quieted down.

"Ahem." Qiao Sang cleared her throat and continued: "I have an idea. You all just saw it too — beating me is pretty hard. So here's the deal: as long as someone eventually beats me, everyone who came up to fight during this time will get a teleportation secret manual, one per person."

All the teachers and students: "!!!"

Over three thousand people in the whole school were tempted.
