Chapter 679

The next day, 8:30 AM.

Qiao Sang woke up, habitually picked up her phone to check the time, and found that many people were @ing her in the Sainan High School class group.

This was after the Little Steel Falcon evolved into the Steel Guard Falcon that so many people @ed her... Qiao Sang clicked on the class group.

【Lafie: @Qiao Sang, is what Tang Yi said true? You have two pet beasts that evolved to the General level?!】

【Jean: I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, unless you let me see it with my own eyes @Qiao Sang】

【Yuna: @Qiao Sang, many people in our class were admitted to top institutions in the First District; let's find a time to get together.】

Tang Yi's news really spread fast... Qiao Sang replied:

【@Yuna, sure, I'm also in the First District; let's have a meal when we have time.】

Qiao Sang surfaced?!

Everyone in the group was like seeing an endangered pet beast, their spirits lifted.

【Hulis: We can eat anytime; answer our question first. Do you really have two pet beasts that evolved to the General level?】

【Tang Yi: You guys are really something; we were classmates, and you don't even believe what I say? Didn't I send you the photos? Qiao Sang, tell them! Did I lie!】

【Vivek: No, I'm in the First District; I happened to see the news about the Ghost Ring Ghost two days ago, and I always thought it was Qiao Sang's pet beast.】

Qiao Sang typed a reply:

【That Ghost Ring Ghost is my pet beast; the evolution happened last night. Tang Yi was at the scene, so he knew immediately.】

Tang Yi replied in seconds:

【Look! I didn't lie to you!】

The group went silent instantly.

As the best among their peers, they weren't bad in any aspect, whether it was pet beasts or resources related to pet beasts; as long as they wanted them, they could basically get them.

There were also many elders in their circles who, regardless of whether the pet beast's strength was stable or not, only wanted it to evolve quickly to provide feedback to themselves.

But even so, feeding massive amounts of rare resources, no elder's pet beast had ever evolved to the General level in such a short time.

【Yuna: @Qiao Sang, when are you free? I want to see your two General-level pet beasts.】

【Hulis: Count me in.】

【Jean: @Hulis, aren't you not in the First District?】

【Hulis: I can go to the First District.】

People in the group talked one after another, basically all surfacing, discussing the agreed time and place.

However, everyone had their own time plans and views, so they couldn't decide in half a day.

At this time, Qiao Sang sent a message:

【How about 6 PM the day after tomorrow? Some people who aren't in the First District can also make it. We can meet at the Xiangshidesong Restaurant; I heard the taste there is good.】

【Yuna: Fine, I have no opinion.】

【Hulis: Okay.】

【Lafie: Count me in, I guarantee I'll be on time!】

Everyone expressed their agreement.

The time and place that couldn't be decided in half a day were decided so simply.

An hour later, Tang Yi followed Qiao Sang to a private club specifically for training.

"Is this where you train your defense?" Tang Yi looked at the surrounding facilities and asked.

Qiao Sang said "Hmm": "The coach helping me train is good; I feel my skin has already thickened a lot."

Can't tell at all... Tang Yi glanced at Qiao Sang's exposed skin, feeling it was still thin arms and legs, delicate and tender.

"How much does this training cost?" Tang Yi asked.

"Not sure, I just swiped the card," Qiao Sang said.

Tang Yi was silent for a few seconds: "I'd better see how you train first before deciding whether to get a membership."

He also had a bond-evolving pet beast and naturally needed to train his own defense. Qiao Sang's progress had always been inhuman, so following her training must be right.

It's just that this club looked very high-end; if the training effect was just so-so, he would rather use the old method of letting Palelulu constantly participate in actual combat to quickly get used to the pain brought by bond evolution.

After all, he still had three pet beasts to raise, and his living expenses basically relied on himself.

Qiao Sang naturally had no objection.

The two entered the training room one after the other.

Aierma was stunned for a moment when she saw this, but quickly adjusted her facial expression and smiled.

This kind of private club conducts one-on-one training; logically speaking, strangers are not allowed to enter, but if it's brought by the client personally, there's no problem.

"This is my friend," Qiao Sang introduced.

"Hello," Aierma stepped forward to shake hands: "My name is Aierma."

Tang Yi shook back and said: "You just focus on training, don't worry about me."

After speaking, he came to the sofa on the side and sat down.

Qiao Sang said: "After I went back last time and finished soaking in the bath with the toughness potion, I felt I was much more energetic, as if my body had been renewed."

Aierma pinched Qiao Sang's arm and said:

"We'll know if the first stage is over once we try."

"How to try?" Qiao Sang asked.

Aierma smiled: "The end of the first stage means you can withstand a 200kg punch without getting hurt without using the Stink Skunk venom. Just let the Thorn Fist Boy hit you once."

"Thorn Fist."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Thorn Fist Boy, who had already put on boxing gloves on the side, stepped forward and touched fists, indicating it was ready and could start at any time.

Tang Yi sat on the sofa watching this scene and swallowed his saliva.

200kg?

Just let a Fighting-type pet beast punch you like that?!

"Come on," Qiao Sang nimbly took a horse stance: "Don't hit the face."

"Thorn Fist!"

The Thorn Fist Boy nodded, then raised its fist, and it slammed over with speed so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but take a step back.

"How is it?" Aierma asked.

Qiao Sang felt her physical condition and smiled: "No pain at all."

Aierma heard this and laughed:

"Congratulations, the first stage is successfully completed. Let's start the second stage now."

Tang Yi on the side had his mouth slightly open, completely bewildered.

He knew that as pet beasts provide feedback, the Beastmaster's own defense would become much stronger. He had seen many Beastmasters who were unscathed even when attacked by pet beasts when he was a child, but those were older Beastmasters. Qiao Sang was two years younger than him, and in just one month, her defense had been trained to this level?

Is Qiao Sang a freak or is this coach a freak?

Tang Yi thought for a short while and felt it should still be Qiao Sang who was the freak.

On the other side, Aierma looked at Qiao Sang and continued:

"In the second stage, we practice the tendons. In this stage, the training will be relatively painful. I will let the Body-Forging Worm enter your body and walk through your meridians."

"The Body-Forging Worm has mucus that helps strengthen meridians. When it walks through all the meridians 99 times, your second stage will be considered complete."

"The time for this process is uncertain; people with high pain tolerance will be faster, and people with low pain tolerance will be slower."

"I had a client who spent a year and still hadn't let the Body-Forging Worm walk through his body 10 times, just because his pain tolerance was too poor."

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked:

"Can I let my pet beast cast skills to relieve the pain during the process?"

Aierma smiled and said:

"You can, but the effect of the training might not be as good."

Qiao Sang heard this and immediately dismissed the idea of letting Lubao cast Light of Healing during the process.

Since she wanted to train, she naturally wanted to train for the best effect.

"Then let's start; I'm ready," Qiao Sang said.

Aierma nodded slightly, then pressed a few times on the virtual screen on the operation panel.

Not long after, a "knock-knock" sound came from outside the door.

The Thorn Fist Boy went to open the door.

A Bug-type pet beast wearing work clothes, earthy yellow in color, with a pink nose, crawled in slowly.

"Duan-duan."

The Bug-type pet beast bowed.

"This is the Body-Forging Worm that will serve you next," Aierma introduced.

Qiao Sang stared at the Body-Forging Worm in front of her and suddenly thought of a very serious question:

"How does it get into my meridians?"

Aierma smiled gently: "It goes in through your mouth; you just need to swallow it."

"Duan-duan."

The Body-Forging Worm nodded, indicating that's right, it's very simple.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then asked: "After it walks a circle, how does it come out of my body?"

Aierma explained patiently:

"It also comes out through your mouth. Don't worry, you won't feel anything when it comes out."

"Duan-duan."

The Body-Forging Worm nodded, that's right, that's right.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang hesitated; letting a Bug-type pet beast go in through her mouth—just thinking about it was a bit disgusting...

"Steel Guard."

At this time, Gangbao, who had been quiet on the side, called out, indicating not to hesitate, start quickly; this place charges by the hour.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang gritted her teeth and said: "Come on!"

After speaking, she opened her mouth as if she were going to die heroically.

"Duan-duan!"

The Body-Forging Worm took off its work clothes with a serious expression and jumped in.

Qiao Sang swallowed immediately after.

Eww... Tang Yi turned his head away in disgust, unable to bear watching, while secretly admiring her in his heart.

He felt that if it were him, he would probably need to build up his psychological state for at least an hour...

Holy crap, so painful... Qiao Sang only felt the pain strike immediately after swallowing the Body-Forging Worm.

She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her forehead, her body trembling slightly, and she squatted down.

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Treasure Hunter saw this, appeared with a worried expression, and floated next to its Beastmaster.

What pet beast is this? Aierma was stunned when she saw the pet beast she had never seen before but looked slightly familiar.

Why does it feel a bit like a Ghost Ring Ghost?

Now Qiao Sang was in too much pain to speak, so Aierma couldn't help but look at the black-haired boy Qiao Sang brought.

Tang Yi accurately received the meaning in her eyes and said:

"It's Qiao Sang's pet beast, Ghost Ring King, the evolved form of the Ghost Ring Ghost."

Aierma was bewildered for a moment.

The evolved form of the Ghost Ring Ghost?

No wonder it felt a bit like it...

She remembered the newspaper saying the Ghost Ring Ghost was a high-level Ghost-type pet beast...

If it's its evolved form, then that's a General-level pet beast...
