Chapter 109: Evolutionary harbingers

Li Tan Royal Pet High School is the top Yu Beast High School in Zhehai Province, with a deep educational background and countless changes to its school name over the years.

When this school is mentioned, it’s not just about its promotion rate, but also the various competitions students participate in during their time there.

Whether it’s academic or martial, team or individual, they have consistently ranked in national and even international middle school competitions.

Sometimes, they don’t even bother to publicize their provincial competition rankings on the school website.

However, despite the numerous competitions, they still publicize the provincial rankings obtained in individual or team Yu Beast Master battles for middle school students.

After all, battle competitions have always been the most popular.

Qiao Sang wasn’t too surprised by this.

It’s normal for Saint Water Middle School, the second-best in the province, to aim for the top high school in the province.

She guessed that there were such freshman training camps every year, and they probably said the same things.

The purpose was to elevate students’ learning attitudes and ignite their passion for training.

The second-best always wants to surpass the best.

Those who can get into Saint Water Middle School always feel they could also get into Li Tan Royal Pet High School.

The students admitted to these two schools actually have similar scores, but because their household registrations are in different cities, they only have one choice.

However, after entering high school, the gap becomes apparent, with Li Tan Royal Pet High School consistently outperforming Saint Water Middle School.

This leads to the people of Saint Water Middle School being extremely resentful of those from Li Tan Royal Pet High School, especially the new students.

Qiao Sang glanced at Lu Liangye out of the corner of her eye, only to see his hands clenched into fists, his face flushed with excitement.

Sure enough, another one was inspired…

Qiao Sang herself felt nothing; her mental age was there, and she viewed these school rankings very lightly.

High school is just a transitional stage; university is the most important part of a student’s life.

She wasn’t afraid of any competitions.

Her Fire Fang Dog was about to evolve, its Spark proficiency had reached Profound Meaning, and it had even learned Mars Rain; she had absolute confidence in crushing her peers.

If it weren’t for the school’s arrangement, she felt she wouldn’t even need training to defeat Li Tan.

If the Vice Principal thought a few words could ignite her passion for the training camp, he was bound to be disappointed.

“You all know Li Tan Royal Pet High School, an ace high school; their School Team even placed third in the national middle school Yu Beast Master battle competition, but you few were selected by the school based on various considerations, and I believe that through training, you will not lose to Li Tan’s team.”

“You were chosen based on the Pet you contracted, your battle proficiency, and most importantly, your cultural scores,” Liu Yao said unhurriedly.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment; how was this related to cultural scores again?

“If your cultural scores are not high, you certainly won’t have hope of getting into Top Universities in the future, but if you defeat Li Tan in a government-sponsored competition within three years and achieve first place in the province, and then pass the D-level Beastmaster qualification assessment.”

“At that time, for the college entrance examination’s second-tier university cutoff, you only need to score the single enrollment line for Yu Beast Master Battle majors announced by the education bureau, which is usually 160 points, and this year’s college entrance examination is also this score,” Liu Yao continued.

160 points?!

Qiao Sang and Lu Liangye instantly widened their eyes.

Although Qiao Sang’s goal wasn’t a second-tier university, she was still deeply shocked by this score.

One should know that the college entrance examination has a total score of 750 points!

Liu Yao was very satisfied with the reactions of the two students in front of him.

“Of course, since you can stand out among numerous students, our expectations for you are definitely far beyond a second-tier university; if you can meet the two conditions I mentioned, first-tier universities and Top Universities also have special assessment tests, and you only need to pass the tests to be exempt from the college entrance examination.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

For someone who had experienced a hellish college entrance examination once, this last sentence undoubtedly struck a chord with her.

“Vice Principal, when do we start the training camp?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

“Don’t rush, it starts tomorrow; there will be two teachers teaching you in total, and they will group you based on your performance; the specifics will be told to you by the teachers tomorrow, and I will also provide breeding directions based on the specific conditions of your Pets.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up; breeding directions personally formulated by an A-level Breeder! Not to mention the preferential treatment for the college entrance examination, just this alone made this training camp worthwhile!

“There’s one thing I hope you remember: you are not irreplaceable; if you don’t perform well, other students might replace you at any time; I hope you cherish this opportunity and train diligently,” Liu Yao added.

“Don’t worry, Vice Principal, we will work hard!” Qiao Sang’s enthusiasm for the training camp had been completely ignited.

Liu Yao nodded in satisfaction: “Very good, Lu Liangye, you can go out first.”

Lu Liangye looked bewildered; he was just dismissed? What about Qiao Sang?

“Vice Principal, I will also work hard.”

“Hmm, I know; I still have something to tell Qiao Sang, you can go out first.”

What couldn’t be said in front of him!

“Okay.” Lu Liangye got up and left, politely closing the door behind him.

After Lu Liangye left, Liu Yao eagerly got up and approached Qiao Sang, staring intently at the Fire Fang Dog with admiration.

“Your Fire Fang Dog is completely different from a month ago; its jaws are short and powerful, its teeth sharp and incisive, and its fur has two degrees more luster than before; it looks like it’s about to evolve.”

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but exclaim, as expected of an A-level Breeder, he could even discern this.

“Is it really about to evolve?” Qiao Sang asked, pretending to be excited.

“Yes, and the Fire Fang Dog is in excellent spirits, its eyes clear, with no signs of forced enhancement from potions; you’ve bred it very well,” Liu Yao praised.

He paused and continued: “This Fire Fang Dog has extraordinary talent; if it reaches the pre-evolutionary stage, I recommend using an A-level Fire-type evolution stone, and if conditions permit, an S-level one would be best.”

The Fire Fang Dog does not evolve naturally; it must use a Fire-type evolution stone to evolve into a Burning Fire Dog.

Qiao Sang had also researched the pre-evolutionary signs.

Pets, when nearing evolution, more or less exhibit some unusual behaviors.

For example, the Cotton Section Worm will spin silk to wrap itself, and the White Sand Fox’s tail will suddenly experience severe pain.

As for the Fire Fang Dog, it will inexplicably want to bite things.

At that time, she would have to buy a stick for it to chew on, otherwise, who knows what would suffer.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked, “Is it possible for the Fire Fang Dog to evolve without an evolution stone?”

Liu Yao hadn’t expected her to ask that.

He paused and replied, “It’s not that there aren’t such examples, but they all used other resources as substitutes, and their value would not be lower than an evolution stone.”

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Liu Yao said worriedly, “Qiao Sang, if you have any problems, you can come to me; you and your Fire Fang Dog both have great talent, and I don’t want you to be held back by resources or other issues.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she asked, “Really?”

Liu Yao said solemnly, “If you have difficulties, I, your teacher, will definitely help you; you are a talented child, and your only job is to study hard and train diligently; with your talent, you should not be buried.”

How many talented new Yu Beast Masters are ultimately lost among the crowd due to lack of money and resources.

He wasn’t a philanthropist, but this child’s talent was truly remarkable; in just one month, she could contract two Pets with the yu beast codex, and the Fire Fang Dog she contracted also possessed rare talent, growing at an incredible speed.

This made him feel a desire to nurture talent.

Most importantly, with her, this year’s cohort might truly have a chance to defeat Li Tan Royal Pet High School.

In that case, he would also have fulfilled his childhood friend’s request and could return to the research institute to continue his own research.

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang with encouraging eyes, signaling her to boldly state what she wanted.

Qiao Sang excitedly said, “If the training camp requires staying at school, can I apply to stay off-campus? Also, can I bring my phone during school hours?”

Liu Yao: “…”

…

The student dormitories at Saint Water Middle School are all suites, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, which can be considered luxurious for a high school.

Qiao Sang arrived at Qunbao Garden, which is the girls’ dormitory, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

From the name, it’s not hard to see the high hopes Saint Water Middle School places on its students.

After calling her mother to inform her about staying at school, Qiao Sang found the dormitory auntie and got the pre-arranged dormitory key card, 312.

On the way to the dormitory, Qiao Sang was full of resentment; the Vice Principal was not to be trusted; he spoke so nicely, but didn’t agree to either of her requests.

Fortunately, she didn’t have to hand in her phone during the training camp, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what would happen to her 5 million.

Qiao Sang arrived at 312 and had just opened the door with her key card.

“Ball!!!”

A high-pitched scream came from inside.

Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost simultaneously covered their ears.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog’s fur instantly stood on end, and it leaped directly from its Beastmaster’s arms, looking warily at the culprit and assuming a battle stance.

The culprit, crying, hid in a girl’s arms, looking terrified.

Seeing this, the Fire Fang Dog closed its bared fangs, and its fur smoothed down.

It had scared it to death; it thought there was an enemy, but it turned out to be a coward.

“Sen… Senior, how do you have our dorm key card?”

The girl speaking had naturally curly long hair, thick hair draped behind her like seaweed.

“I’m a new student, just arrived to report, and I also live in this dorm,” Qiao Sang explained.

The girl forgot her fear and stood there stunned.

New student?!

She was both excited and in a daze; as expected of Saint Water Middle School, there was actually a new student who had contracted two Pets, and…

She timidly glanced at the Fire Fang Dog and the Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Oh my god! Her future roommate’s contracted Pets were all ones she was afraid of…

“I… I’m Jin Feifan, and I also just arrived to report today.” Jin Feifan tried hard to force a smile.

Although her roommate looked terrifying, for the sake of future days, this relationship must be maintained!

“I’m Qiao Sang, are you also here for the training camp?” Qiao Sang said as she entered the room, surveying the dorm’s layout.

“Mhm, mhm, anyone staying at school during this time should be participating in the training camp; that’s great, we can go together.” Jin Feifan tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Qiao Sang glanced at her, puzzled, “What’s wrong? I feel like you’re about to cry?”

Jin Feifan: “…”

Time’s up, couldn’t finish typing; the remaining words will be added if there’s an opportunity!
