Chapter 362: Add One Hour

The next day.

Sacred Water Middle School.

After advancing to the elimination rounds, the most critical moment had arrived. The school hadn't actually required Qiao Sang to return to class during these three days of rest.

It was just that a message had come through the Gao San school team group chat: they had to assemble that afternoon.

Thinking she still needed to find the vice principal to check on Lu Bao's situation, Qiao Sang arrived at school early in the morning.

When she reached the corridor, she noticed a large crowd gathered outside her classroom, watching something.

Qiao Sang asked a female classmate nearest to her, who was on tiptoe trying to peer into the classroom: "What are you all looking at?"

The female classmate answered without turning her head: "Obviously we're here to see Qiao Sang. We don't even know if she's come to school today."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "Why are you looking at me?"

The corridor suddenly fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads in unison and realized that the one who had just spoken was indeed the great god Qiao!

Who is Qiao Sang?

A first-year high school freshman!

A first-year freshman with a green star array who had contracted three pet beasts!

A first-year freshman who had broken the rules to join the Gao San school team, defeated members of other schools' Gao San school teams with a perfect record, and successfully advanced to the Gao San division elimination rounds of the National Campus Beast-Taming League!

How incredible!

Once the news of her perfect record spread through the school, Qiao Sang became the Sacred Water light in the hearts of all the students.

"Ah! Qiao Sang! You've finally come to school!"

"Great god Qiao! Can you summon Bing Luqi Ya for me to see?"

"I heard you're going to participate in the elimination rounds the day after tomorrow. Good luck!"

"Great god Qiao, can you give me a chance to be added to your social circle!"

A crowd swarmed over, the classmates' enthusiasm running high. Qiao Sang was left a bit dumbfounded by the scene before her.

Had she become a celebrity?

At this moment, the door of Class One opened, and the homeroom teacher Li Yi walked out from inside, saying sternly: "Don't any of you have class to attend?"

Seeing it was the teacher, in just a few short seconds, everyone vanished without a trace.

Li Yi turned to look at Qiao Sang, the smile on her face spreading uncontrollably: "Come in."

Qiao Sang quickly walked into the classroom and sat down at her seat.

Then she soon noticed that the academic gods weren't meditating attentively, but were all secretly staring at her.

Under the academic gods' gazes, Qiao Sang finally endured until the end of morning self-study.

As soon as the homeroom teacher left, Jin Feifan couldn't wait to turn around and say: "Qiao Sang, you're really amazing. Fighting against Gao San students and you still haven't lost a single match."

Her goal was first place in the national Gao San division—how could she possibly lose in the provincial group stage... Qiao Sang said modestly: "This is only the group stage, the difficulty isn't that high. When we get to the divisional tournament, it probably won't be this easy."

Jin Feifan: "..."

Jin Feifan instantly felt this topic couldn't continue.

"By the way, how did your matches go?" Qiao Sang asked.

"You haven't looked at the first-year school team group chat, have you?" Jin Feifan asked in a tone of certainty.

Qiao Sang said honestly: "I haven't."

"Just as I thought." Jin Feifan muttered: "Our school's entire first-year school team has advanced to the elimination rounds."

Qiao Sang wasn't surprised by this in the slightest.

Sacred Water Middle School had been firmly seated in the position of eternal second place in Zhehai Province—its strength was certainly beyond question.

If someone were eliminated in the group stage, Sacred Water Middle School wouldn't be feared by so many schools.

……

The news of Qiao Sang appearing at school quickly spread.

During every class break, a group of heads outside the window of Class 1 (1) seemed ready to press themselves against the glass.

When the morning classes ended, Qiao Sang had just stood up, only to turn her head and see a pile of people outside with shining eyes looking at her.

It couldn't be that serious—it's just advancing to the Gao San division elimination rounds...

Thinking of the scene of being "swallowed alive" if she went out, Qiao Sang sat back down.

"Qiao Sang, do you need me to bring you something to eat?" Jin Feifan hesitated for a while, but still stood up and decided to go out.

Based on how she was at the start of the semester, as someone with social anxiety, she definitely wouldn't have dared to pass through so many people's gazes to get outside.

But after half a month of competitions, Jin Feifan's social anxiety had lessened considerably.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then said: "No need."

Jin Feifan was stunned for a moment: "You're not eating?"

"I am." Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and laughed: "I'll have Little Xunbao take me out."

After saying that, she called out: "Little Xunbao."

"Xun~"

Little Xunbao appeared.

Jin Feifan stood aside with an expression of sudden realization.

She understood—Qiao Sang wanted Xunbao Yao to clear the path! Under the威慑 of a ghost-type pet beast, others definitely wouldn't dare approach!

Just then, Qiao Sang said: "Use spatial teleportation."

"Xun~"

Little Xunbao called out once, then floated onto her beast tamer's head.

Spatial teleportation? Jin Feifan froze for a moment.

Before she could react, Qiao Sang and the Treasure-Seeking Pet vanished from where they stood at the same time.

Jin Feifan: "!

!"

The classmates still in the classroom: "!

!"

The students outside the classroom with their faces pressed against the window: "!

!"

……

Qiao Sang opened her eyes and found herself in a cramped space.

Looking down, she realized it was the school's restroom.

Qiao Sang immediately nodded in satisfaction.

Ever since she discovered that Little Treasure-Seeker had learned spatial teleportation, she had Little Treasure-Seeker practice for an hour every night.

After all, spatial teleportation was simply too practical. Once she mastered the coordinates early, she could wake up just one minute before class every morning.

Now it seemed the training had paid off handsomely — Little Treasure-Seeker had landed in a very precise spot, neither too far nor too close.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to praise Little Treasure-Seeker and head out, a boy's voice drifted in from outside:

"I heard Qiao Sang from the first year of high school came to school today. Aren't you going to go take a look?"

The next second, a "psssshhhh" sound rang out.

If this sound had been in a different place, Qiao Sang probably wouldn't have thought twice about it.

But right now, she recognized it at once as the sound of someone peeing.

……Qiao Sang's face stiffened abruptly.

Another male voice, clearly different in tone, spoke up: "Go for what? I can't even finish my test papers — where would I find the time to go join the fun?"

The two chatted a few more lines, followed by footsteps. Once the restroom fell silent again, Qiao Sang expressionlessly lifted Little Treasure-Seeker off her head.

"Seek~"

Little Treasure-Seeker blinked innocently.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to use uncivilized language, and calmly analyzed her current predicament.

If she let Little Treasure-Seeker use spatial teleportation again, who knew what unspeakable place they'd end up in. Since no one was outside right now, the priority was to get out quickly…

Qiao Sang carefully listened to the sounds outside, confirmed there was no one, and with a "click," she pushed open the restroom door.

Damn it — it really was the men's room…

Qiao Sang lowered her head and sprinted out at the fastest speed of her life, like a hundred-meter dash.

When she reached the corner of the stairwell, Qiao Sang held Little Treasure-Seeker up in front of her eyes and said with extreme seriousness: "From now on, add one more hour to your nightly spatial teleportation practice."

"Seek…"
