Chapter 251: Going to Register

Wasn't she teaching Crown-Mao to learn Teleport?! How did Little Treasure Ghost learn Brick Break on its own first?!

Qiao Sang stared at the scene before her, her mind completely blank.

She couldn't figure it out — Little Treasure Ghost, which had only just had its brick count increased to six before they left the house, had somehow suddenly learned a Fighting-type skill as if it had achieved an epiphany!

A Ghost-type pet beast learning a Fighting-type skill... Qiao Sang was utterly dazed.

Even though Little Treasure Ghost had been practicing Brick Break for the past half month or so, she had never once thought it could actually master it.

"Big Bro Qiao, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Wang Yiding, who was nearby, saw Qiao Sang stand up and stare fixedly at the center of the field with a look of shock on her face, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Qiao Sang came back to her senses and asked, puzzled: "Didn't you see it?"

Wang Yiding tried hard to recall the scene he had just witnessed, as if remembering something, and his expression turned to one of sudden realization. He looked up and said reassuringly:

"Treasure Ghost was just trying to scare Crown-Mao. It deliberately made its Brick Break miss."

In Wang Yiding's view, Treasure Ghost's teaching style was like a strict teacher, and Crown-Mao was like a poor student.

It was common for teachers to scare students with a ruler — it wasn't like they were actually hitting them.

Treasure Ghost didn't have a ruler, so it used Brick Break to scare — nothing wrong with that.

The school was all saying Big Bro Qiao's Treasure Ghost had practiced Brick Break to the point where it could beat every Fighting-type pet beast in the school, so by all accounts it had reached the realm achieved.

But the power of the Brick Break Treasure Ghost just used clearly wasn't strong — it was obviously just meant to scare Crown-Mao.

Qiao Sang hesitated: "So you saw Little Treasure use Brick Break?"

"I saw it." Wang Yiding said with an indifferent look: "It's just Brick Break, and it didn't even hit Crown-Mao. It's fine."

Qiao Sang was silent for a long time, feeling somewhat lost.

Seeing Wang Yiding's calm reaction, did it mean that a Ghost-type pet beast learning a Fighting-type skill wasn't actually that strange in society, and that she herself was making a big fuss over nothing...

Thinking this, Qiao Sang composed her expression and silently sat back down in her seat.

It was just a Ghost-type pet beast learning a Fighting-type skill, it should be fine...

10:33 PM.

After finishing over an hour of teaching, Little Treasure Ghost floated back onto its beast master's head.

Little Treasure Ghost's body was no longer as small as when it was first born — sitting on Qiao Sang's head, its entire body cast her face in shadow.

"Big Bro Qiao, can we keep meeting tomorrow too?" Wang Yiding asked.

"Sure." Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and nodded: "Same time slot as today."

Wang Yiding grinned: "Deal!"

He felt Big Bro was actually pretty easy to talk to.

The two chatted for a bit and added each other's contact information along the way.

After Wang Yiding left, Qiao Sang went to the front desk and said: "There's a crack on the ground at Field 3. Make sure to get it fixed."

For a dedicated battle practice place like a battle club, field damage was common. All one had to do was report it after a battle, and staff would come promptly to repair the field, without affecting the next customer's experience.

"Got it." The woman replied, and typed the field repair request into the work group chat on her computer.

When she looked up after finishing typing, she found the sparring partner — who looked even younger than a fresh sprout — hadn't left yet.

"I'd like to ask if our club provides training fields for sparring partners?" Without waiting for the woman to ask, Qiao Sang spoke up: "The kind where you can freely use high-damage skills."

This was Qiao Sang's real purpose for coming to the battle club tonight.

A training field that could withstand Yaobao using Shadow Clones to cast Meteor Shower together wasn't easy to find. The well-rated training fields in Hanggang City weren't near her home.

Finding a training field closer was obviously better. Most importantly, if Hongying Beast Battle Club had a suitable field, she, as a sparring partner at the club, could use it for free — killing two birds with one stone.

"Yes." The woman thought for a moment and said: "But it's usually only advanced sparring partners who train in there."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "It's not like only advanced sparring partners are allowed in, right?"

"Not at all." The woman explained: "It's just that basically only advanced sparring partners need to use a field like that."

That's good... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The training field is straight ahead on the right, all the way at the back where it says 'No Entry for Unauthorized Personnel.'" The woman reminded her: "If you go, it's best to find a spot off to the side so you don't get caught in the skills of the advanced sparring partners' pet beasts."

Qiao Sang returned home in a great mood.

This trip out had not only found a place for Yaobao to practice Meteor Shower, but she'd also picked up some side cash, and most importantly, Little Treasure Ghost had learned Brick Break.

Qiao Sang went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out an apple.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure Ghost floated happily around nearby, holding up the right paw it had used to perform Brick Break.

"You've been going on about it the whole way home, aren't you tired yet?" Qiao Sang laughed as she closed the fridge.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure Ghost stopped and held up one short toe, waggling it.

Of course it wasn't tired.

"Xun!"

Then Little Treasure Ghost swung its right paw through the air twice, and its gaze fell on the apple in Qiao Sang's hand.

Stare—

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, set the apple on the table beside her, and said: "Go ahead and chop."

"Xun!"

Little Treasure Ghost looked at its beast master with a "leave it to me" expression.

It turned to stare at the apple, raised its right paw, and used the Brick Break it had just learned to slice the apple into four pieces with two crisp cuts.

After finishing, Little Treasure Ghost looked at its beast master with its big, watery eyes and blinked.

...... Qiao Sang opened her mouth and said:

"Awesome!"

After washing up in the evening, Qiao Sang lay in bed and started browsing a shopping platform.

Little Treasure Ghost had now learned how to split tiles, so naturally it would no longer get hurt from splitting just six tiles.

Qiao Sang decisively bought three big boxes of tiles.

To have Water Shui Lu Yana practice Healing Light, Little Treasure Ghost's training volume had to be increased.

Qiao Sang had just placed the order when she seemed to think of something and added two more boxes.

Originally she hadn't counted on Little Treasure Ghost getting first place in the bare-handed tile-splitting event — that was because it didn't know how to split tiles at all.

Now that Little Treasure Ghost had learned to split tiles, Qiao Sang's mind couldn't help but start scheming.

She had originally planned to just participate for the fun of it, but with her golden finger, she could make Little Treasure Ghost's tile-splitting proficiency shoot straight up and catch up to the other combat-type pets before the sports meet.

Solidifying in her teacher's eyes the fact that her special skill was strong — then when the time came to ask for leave, she could do it with a bit more justification... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

After buying the tiles, she started looking at energy recovery potions.

Her heart twinged with every glance.

This was the real big expense...

Friday.

The moment Qiao Sang's afternoon class ended, she rushed straight to Training Ground No. 5.

"Qiao Sang, how's the task going?" Seeing Shi Gaofeng asked curiously.

"Pretty good, finished up quite nicely." Qiao Sang said with a smile.

"I knew it." Seeing Shi Gaofeng pursed his lips, looking as if this was exactly what he'd expected.

Qiao Sang looked around, noticed that Wang Yao, who was usually there, was actually absent this time, and asked: "Where's Wang Yao?"

"She asked for leave." Seeing Shi Gaofeng said quietly: "The reason she gave was doing a task, but actually her younger brother just contracted a pet beast and she went with him to register it."

"That brother of hers..."

Qiao Sang could no longer hear what Seeing Shi Gaofeng was saying; only two words echoed in her mind.

Register!

!

Good lord! Her Water Shui Lu Yana hadn't been registered yet!

Qiao Sang suddenly snapped to attention and bolted outside.

"Qiao Sang! Where are you going!" Seeing Shi Gaofeng shouted.

"To register!"
