Chapter 225: Dogtail Grass

Three months had passed; things had changed, and people were no longer the same.

Three months ago, Xiang Qiaosang had been called to the office by her middle school homeroom teacher, who not only sprayed her with spit but also called in her parents.

Now, she was being called to the principal's office, yet she was drinking tea with the principal of the number one beast-taming high school in Hanggang City... Xiang Qiaosang sat in a chair, looking at the hot tea before her, slightly dazed.

"Student Xiang Qiaosang, what do you think of my proposal?" Wang Wang Weidou held his tea, leaning back in his chair with a smile.

If anyone else had asked this, Xiang Qiaosang would have answered without hesitation: Not much.

But since the person asking was the big boss of the school she was currently attending, Xiang Qiaosang had to deliberate before speaking.

To be honest, she really didn't know what the principal was thinking, actually proposing that she participate in the third-year high school division of this year's National Campus Beast Taming League.

It was like a game; if the treasure chest rewards were the same regardless of the mode, why choose the difficult mode instead of the easy one? She wasn't stupid.

Xiang Qiaosang phrased her words carefully:

"I feel that with my current strength, I cannot compare to the third-year seniors."

Hearing this, Wang Wang Weidou almost choked on the tea he had just sipped.

You weren't like this at the opening ceremony today!

He had originally given up on this idea, but after seeing that the Yanling Dog not only had the Fierce Fire trait but also knew the high-tier skill Meteor Shower, the thought of wanting Xiang Qiaosang to defeat Ding Ding Yanjing had revived.

Ding Ding Yanjing was already in his third year; if he missed this National Campus Beast Taming League, there would be no more opportunities to dampen his arrogance.

In his view, Xiang Qiaosang had a chance to beat Ding Ding Yanjing.

Even if she lost, she could still participate in the National Campus Beast Taming League the next year.

With her strength, it wouldn't be difficult to take first place in the province during her second year; it would just be a year late.

He had expected that with the high-profile, combative personality Xiang Qiaosang showed at the opening ceremony, she would agree without a second thought. He hadn't expected her to refuse, even at the cost of belittling her own strength...

Wang Wang Weidou placed his teacup on the table and asked, "Do you know why I proposed that you participate in the third-year division competition?"

Xiang Qiaosang shook her head.

"Because I believe you have the strength," Wang Wang Weidou said solemnly.

Even if you say that, I'm not going... Xiang Qiaosang said modestly: "Not at all, I'm just slightly better than my peers."

"Students of your age don't evolve a Fire-Tooth Dog into a completely new evolutionary form, nor do they let beginner-tier pets learn high-tier skills," Wang Wang Weidou said with a smile.

"Just good luck," Xiang Qiaosang replied with a smile.

She's so young, why does she feel as difficult to deal with as that guy Liu Yao... Wang Wang Weidou sighed and said truthfully: "Actually, there is a very important reason why I want you to participate in this third-year division competition."

Xiang Qiaosang assumed a posture of listening carefully.

"You know Li Tan Beast Taming High School, right?" Wang Wang Weidou asked.

Xiang Qiaosang nodded.

"There is a student in Li Tan's third year named Ding Ding Yanjing. He isn't satisfied with just winning every match; he insists on hearing his opponents admit defeat, otherwise, he will repeatedly torture their pets on the field," Wang Wang Weidou sipped his tea and continued:

"One of our school's students encountered him during a match, and after their pet was tortured and couldn't handle the blow, they withdrew from the school team upon returning."

"I see that you have a hope of beating him. If you can defeat him in the last National Middle School Campus Beast Taming League he participates in, that would naturally be best. Even if you don't win, your strength will allow him to realize that our school's students are not to be trifled with."

Xiang Qiaosang was stunned. Torturing pets? That perverted?

"But if the pet hasn't fallen, how can they admit defeat? If they have fallen, the referee will announce the winner, so how can he still torture the pet?" Xiang Qiaosang raised her doubt.

Could it be that this guy named Ding Ding Yanjing defeats his opponent and then uses a healing move, repeating this over and over... Xiang Qiaosang couldn't help but ponder.

Wang Wang Weidou didn't answer, but took out his phone, opened a video, pushed it to Xiang Qiaosang, and said in a low voice: "Take a look at this."

Xiang Qiaosang looked down at the phone.

It was playing a match.

In the video, a Drowsy Bear was wrapped in green plants, its body swaying, clearly in poor condition, before being knocked unconscious by a green energy ball.

Just as the referee stepped forward to count, a green-bodied pet with a round, milky-white cotton ball on its head and a piece of dogtail grass in its right claw ran quickly to the Drowsy Bear's side on short legs.

The camera shifted.

"Do you admit defeat?" asked the boy wearing the Li Tan Beast Taming High School uniform.

The screen cut to the contestant from Shengshui Middle School.

Because her memory had improved, even though she had competed against over 200 people today, Xiang Qiaosang recognized at a glance that this person in the video was one of those 200-plus people.

Of course, a very important reason was that this guy's behavior of waking up the Drowsy Bear with food was truly impressive...

Xue Xue Chuhua's face was dark, and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, the boy in the Li Tan uniform shouted: "Dogtail Grass, wake it up!"

At this moment, the referee's count hadn't ended. Hearing its tamer's command, the Dogtail Grass skillfully placed the dogtail grass in the Drowsy Bear's armpit and tickled it a few times, then quickly ran to the Drowsy Bear's soles to tickle them.

Soon, the Drowsy Bear was tickled awake.

The referee announced that the match would continue.

Xiang Qiaosang: "..."

Wang Wang Weidou spoke at the right time: "The pet was already injured, but he insisted on tickling it. If others didn't admit defeat, he would repeatedly defeat and wake them up to continue. This behavior is nothing short of torture for the pet."

Xiang Qiaosang understood a little.

Although the scene looked quite funny, imagine a pet fainting after a long battle, only to be forced to wake up laughing; as it struggled and laughed, its injuries would worsen. This was simply a double torture of body and spirit.

Wang Wang Weidou showed a warm smile: "Now you know why I want you to participate in this third-year division competition. Don't feel pressured; you decide whether to go or not. Even if you don't go, I can understand you."

Xiang Qiaosang thought for a moment and said: "Principal, this is a big deal. I need to go back and discuss it with my mom."

"Good! Good!" Wang Wang Weidou was overjoyed.

In his view, if a student's parent knew that the school principal had made this request to the student, they would definitely agree 100%.

Please, he was the principal!

First, stabilize the principal by using her mom as an excuse, then say her family doesn't agree, and the principal won't make things difficult for her. Perfect... Xiang Qiaosang's smile deepened.

Coming out of the principal's office, Xiang Qiaosang finally managed to sneak the Water-Dew Dew Yana from the fountain into her backpack, only to be surrounded by people.

By the time she got rid of the crowd and walked out of the school gate, it was half an hour later.

Having walked only two steps after coming out, she heard the familiar school bell from inside the school, and Xiang Qiaosang's mood instantly improved.

There was another benefit to being a member of the school team: no evening self-study!

As a result, her mood hadn't been good for long before another familiar voice came.

"Lulu."

Xiang Qiaosang was startled and quickly turned her backpack 180 degrees to the front.

"Why did you stick your head out?" Xiang Qiaosang asked in a low voice.

"Lulu?"

The Water-Dew Dew Yana's ears twitched, and it showed an embarrassed expression.

Where is that annoying guy?

Xiang Qiaosang was stunned, then suddenly realized: "You're asking why we haven't reached home yet, right? I have to go to school starting today, so I might be a little late getting back from now on."

Water-Dew Dew Yana: "..."
