Chapter 230: I'm Innocent!

"It was originally from a month ago, but I wanted to buy a higher-quality grass-type evolution stone, so I put it off until now." Bai Yunmiao scratched his head and said, a little embarrassed.

No wonder… Qiao Sang understood.

The higher the quality of the evolution stone, the more energy the beast would have inside after evolving compared to beasts that used ordinary evolution stones — they could win right from the starting line among beasts of the same rank.

Quite a few beast tamers spent a lot of time just to pick out an evolution stone that suited their fancy.

"Oh right, do you want to have a battle with me?" Qiao Sang thought of Ya Bao's words and asked.

"Ya!"

Ya Bao stared at the freshly evolved Sweet Knot Vine, his face full of fighting spirit.

"Sweet Knot…"

Feeling Ya Bao's burning gaze, the Sweet Knot Vine silently took a step back and hid behind its own beast tamer.

"No fight, no fight. Your battle record has already spread — challenging the whole school's fierce lunatics. It's still pinned on our province's high school forum." Bai Yunmiao shook his head frantically and refused.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Zhehai Province's high school forum?"

"Yeah, it's the general forum for high schools in the province. Basically all the high schoolers in our province hang around there chatting about nothing. Just yesterday, people from your school got into an argument with Li Tan High School from Hanwen City on the forum." Bai Yunmiao said.

"Why did they argue?" Qiao Sang asked.

"It's all because of you." Bai Yunmiao answered: "Yesterday someone from your school posted, saying a super-genius had appeared among the new students who could crush Li Tan High School, and told Li Tan High School to just wait and lose at this year's National Campus Beast Tamer League."

"The post was seen by people from Li Tan High School, and then both sides started cursing each other. The post's pretty popular — it's probably still pinned on the first page right now."

Qiao Sang felt a headache coming on: "My name wasn't posted too, was it?"

Bai Yunmiao laughed: "Of course it was. Otherwise how would I know you were that fierce lunatic who challenged the whole school?"

Qiao Sang couldn't help but explain: "I didn't challenge the whole school. I only challenged a little over 200 people."

Bai Yunmiao: "……"

Only challenged a little over 200 people? Listen to what you're saying — are those even human words?!

Bai Yunmiao kept a faint smile: "That's still very impressive."

Ever since she learned that Qiao Tiancai had not only contracted a Treasure Seeking Ghost, but that her Fire Tooth Dog had also evolved into a brand-new evolution form, she felt that nothing happening to Qiao Tiancai could surprise her anymore.

Qiao Sang sighed: "Doesn't that mean people from other schools already know all my information?"

"Don't worry too much about becoming famous and getting targeted in the league." Bai Yunmiao comforted her: "Everyone on the forum loves to brag — the info's half true, half false. Just yesterday someone said their school had a person whose first pet beast was a high-level one."

Qiao Sang actually felt this one might be true.

If a high-level pet beast was willing, and the rookie beast tamer wasn't worried about losing control and being backlashed at any moment, there were indeed examples of such contracts. After all, the TV had aired similar news.

Some beast tamers, when they got old and were about to die, would even think about leaving their pet beasts to their juniors.

But that also depended on whether the pet beast itself agreed. Without the binding of the original beast tamer's contract, naturally no one could force a pet beast into a contract.

When it came down to it, this was basically something done by beast tamers who felt they had no hope left on the path of beast taming.

Any beast tamer with a little ambition wanted a pet beast they chose themselves, raised from childhood — not one inherited from an elder.

After the two said goodbye, Ya Bao stared at Sweet Knot Vine's retreating back with a lonely expression.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said: "Actually, you don't need to fight to get stronger. How about this — today we challenge ourselves to fly home!"

Training Ya Bao was just an excuse; what she really wanted was to get up into the sky.

Ever since she found out how much energy Ya Bao had inside, the thought of flying had already popped into Qiao Sang's mind.

Being able to fly in the sky without contracting a flying-type pet beast — just thinking about it felt amazing!

"Ya!"

Ya Bao's expression instantly lit up with excitement again.

It could do it!

Qiao Sang held Little Treasure Seeking Ghost in her arms, sat on Ya Bao's back, and smoothly rose into the sky. In the backpack, Water Lulu Yana poked her head out, stared at the scenery below, and her eyes went wide.

Back home, Qiao Sang hurried to her room and started doing homework.

It was already past 8 p. m., and she still hadn't even picked up her pen!

……

11:34 p. m.

In a small alley two streets away from Tianjing Yuan, Li Songhai sat on the ground with a numb expression, his face and every bit of exposed skin on his body covered in mosquito bites.

If someone with trypophobia saw him right now, they'd probably get goosebumps all over instantly.

Just then, a set of footsteps came. Li Songhai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly poked his head out.

Then he saw two pale, bare legs.

Li Songhai froze for a moment and instinctively looked up.

"Ah! Pervert!"

The passing woman covered her skirt with both hands, stumbled back several steps in fright, and immediately summoned her pet beast, shouting angrily: "Desert Tail Fox! Get him!"

Before Li Songhai could even defend himself, the Desert Tail Fox's tail glowed white and lashed out viciously.

"I'm innocent!

!"

……

At the same time, Qiao Sang, freshly washed up, leaned against the headboard with her laptop resting on her knees.

The moment she logged onto Super Weibo, she was shocked by the number of followers on her account.

A whopping 3 million-plus!

Keep in mind, apart from posting photos of Ya Bao endorsing sunglasses, she had never posted anything else on this account.

She checked the comments — they were all about Ya Bao.

【So this is the account of a beast master who has a Flame Hound?】

【Nothing much, I just wanted to verify whether what I've been seeing online about Flame Hounds also having the Psychic type is true or false】

【Gotta say, the Flame Hound is seriously good-looking!】

【I heard the beast master who has a Flame Hound is still in his first year of high school】

【Why hasn't the Alliance published the conditions for evolving a Fire Fang Dog into a Flame Hound yet?】

【I'll pay 1 million, please tell me how to evolve a Fire Fang Dog into a Flame Hound. If you agree, then pretend I never said this】

No wonder she suddenly gained so many followers. As the only beast master with a Flame Hound, the increase in followers was, on reflection, hardly surprising.

After Qiao Sang posted the photo and topic Song Yuan had given her, she opened the forum Bai Yunmiao had mentioned.

#A Fierce Challenger Against the Whole School Has Appeared Among This Year's Freshmen at Our School#

Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the pinned post.

Discussion was one thing, but it had actually been pinned…

She clicked it open and saw the post was still refreshing, with plenty of netizens replying in real time below.

【No photo, no video, just you typing and bragging, right?】

【Just because your Li Tan didn't produce such a figure doesn't mean our Shengshui doesn't either. LOL】

【Need me to post the video of your school team playing against ours last year?】

【That was then, this is now. If you've got the guts, let's compare this year's batch】

【Your Shengshui Middle School says the same thing every year, and the result? Everyone knows】

【Enough said, this year's provincial champion will be our Lide High School】

But nobody paid any attention to the Lide High School person.

【Let me tell you straight, both of our school's super-genius's pets know high-tier skills】

【Ooh, I'm so scared. Every single member of this year's Li Tan school team has pets that know super-tier skills】

【Every single member of the Shengshui school team has pets that know divine-tier skills】

【Heh】

【Hehe】

Qiao Sang began typing:

【Hehehe】

After sending those three characters, Qiao Sang shut the computer.
