Chapter 222: It Wants to Keep Going!

Kong Nanhai nearly spat blood on the spot when he heard this!

Yanling Dog had just recovered its condition after the previous match—damn it, this match it didn't even move, just unleashed one flame vortex and you still want to recover!

Wasn't it supposed to recover only once every five matches? Why aren't you playing by the rules?!

"Why?" Kong Nanhai stopped in his tracks and asked, looking at Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Yanling Dog wasn't injured, and it didn't consume any energy—why does it still need to recover its condition?" Kong Nanhai asked, puzzled.

Qiao Sang scratched her head: "That poison mist move of yours just now let my Yaobao inhale a little of it. Even though the amount was small, it's still poison no matter what—I felt like it staying in its body for too long wouldn't be good."

"Tooth?"

Yaobao tilted its head at its beast master's words.

It was poisoned?

Kong Nanhai: "!

!"

Such a tiny amount and you noticed it! So you're actually this cautious a person?!

……

Kong Nanhai returned to his seat.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ren pointed at the school doctor who had come out to Yanling Dog on the field and asked: "What did you two just talk about? Why did she call the school doctor for this match?"

The surrounding classmates all crowded over.

"We misjudged this junior sister," Kong Nanhai muttered.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Ren asked, confused.

Kong Nanhai took a deep breath and said: "I originally thought she was an arrogant person, and arrogant people tend to be overconfident. That's why I firmly believed in your speculation that even if she noticed Yanling Dog had been injured in the first 4 matches, she would stick to her own habit and wait until the end of the 5th match to let it recover and replenish."

"But after this match I just realized she's a cautious and rational person—completely different from the arrogant impression she gave before."

"Just that tiny bit of poison mist got inhaled by Yanling Dog, and Yanling Dog itself didn't show any signs of poisoning, yet she noticed it."

Cautious and rational? Are you sure you're talking about that freakish junior sister?

Zhou Ren looked at Kong Nanhai, thought for a few seconds, then suddenly asked: "Where are your glasses?"

Kong Nanhai was stunned for a moment: "In the classroom."

"Next time, no matter where you go, remember to wear them," Zhou Ren said earnestly.

Kong Nanhai: "???"

"Back to the main topic." Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up and said: "Since Plan A won't work, we'll implement Plan B."

"What's Plan B?" A classmate sitting behind leaned over and asked.

"What do you guys think is this junior sister's biggest reliance for challenging the whole school?" Zhou Ren didn't answer, but countered with a question.

A classmate beside them thought for a moment and said: "Because she's strong and we're weak."

That statement wasn't wrong, but why did it sting so much… Zhou Ren swept his gaze over the surrounding classmates and said slowly:

"Her reliance is that the school doctor can continuously help her pet beast recover its condition. But whether it's the energy stored inside the Energy Bug, or the tree fruits and energy liquid in the medical room, they're all limited."

"Once the resources for replenishing energy and stamina are used up, she naturally won't be able to keep battling."

The classmate sitting behind suddenly realized and said: "Doesn't that mean we don't have to do anything, just sit and wait for the medical room's resources to run out?"

"No, that's too slow. Go tell the classmates from other classes—later, no matter who goes up on the field, after their match go find the school doctor to help their pet beast recover its condition." Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up and emphasized: "Recover everything."

A classmate beside them seemed to think of something, looked at Kong Nanhai and asked: "Didn't your Jin Jiashe get injured? Why didn't you just have the school doctor take a look at it earlier?"

Kong Nanhai was stunned for a moment: "I saw my Jin Jiashe's injuries weren't serious, so I planned to let it stay in the Beast Codex for a while, and give it a Strange Wood Fruit to eat when I head back to the classroom."

The Beast Codex can not only contract pet beasts, but also continuously help pet beasts recover their own condition—it's just that the efficiency is a bit slow.

"It's precisely because there are many people who think like you that this junior sister has been able to battle so many matches." Zhou Ren sighed: "Later, you go find the school doctor and have them help recover Jin Jiashe."

Kong Nanhai didn't say anything more, which counted as acquiescence.

……

On the field.

Two withered yellow vine whips lashed through the air like whips, moving so fast that each swing made a "swish swish" sound in the air.

Facing the dense attacks, Yaobao wasn't flustered at all. It teleported to a position in the air beyond the vine whips' reach, its eyes flashed blue, and the vine whips still swinging in mid-air were instantly frozen in place.

The next second, under the control of telekinesis, the two vine whips turned around and shot toward Withered Vine at high speed. In no time, they had Withered Vine bound up tightly.

Immediately after, a crimson fireball containing tremendous energy struck Withered Vine's body with perfect accuracy.

"Kuku!

!"

Withered Vine writhed its body, letting out a miserable shriek.

Before long, it collapsed.

"Withered Vine has lost its ability to battle. Qiao Sang wins," the female teacher announced emotionlessly.

Having to announce the same result on average less than once every minute—she was numb to it.

"Yaobao, this is already the 185th one. Do you want to keep going?" Qiao Sang asked.

It wasn't that she didn't want points anymore, but these battles had really gone on for quite a while—her legs had gone numb from standing…

"Yaya!"

Yaobao nodded.

Although the opponents were all very weak, it could feel its own progress. In the later battles, it could almost respond with the right moves on pure instinct.

This proved the battles weren't for nothing—it was getting stronger!

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that while she was tired, Yaobao wasn't tired at all—simply inhuman! Uh, Yaobao itself probably wasn't a human to begin with… After that internal sigh, Qiao Sang turned to the female teacher and applied to have Yaobao's condition restored.

In the five consecutive matches just now, every opponent was an intermediate pet beast, so the energy inside Yaobao was probably already more than half spent.

The school doctor soon walked over, but this time there was no charging bug in a white coat on his shoulder.

When the school doctor came closer, he said with a helpless expression: "Student Qiao Sang, I'm afraid I won't be able to help your Flame Listener Dog recover its condition from here on."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"All the resources for restoring energy and stamina and helping treat pet beasts' injuries have been used up." The school doctor sighed. "Even the energy stored inside the charging bug has already been completely drained."

The energy stored inside a charging bug isn't infinite — it expands the amount it can store as the charging trait's level grows stronger.

Every time the stored energy runs out, it has to be replenished before it can be used again.

"In that case, then my strength demonstration this time ends at…" Qiao Sang stopped mid-sentence, turned her head to look at Yaobao and asked:

"Yaobao, you heard that too — your condition can't be restored anymore from here on. Even so, do you still want to keep competing?"

"Ya!"

Yaobao nodded firmly, eyes resolute.

It was going to compete!

Just as she had expected… Qiao Sang smiled and said: "I really can't do anything with you. But if it gets too much later, don't push yourself — there are so many people watching."

"Yaya!"
