Chapter 125: What about school?

Lick Lick Drop was large, and now with both feet off the ground, it could only fall downwards and couldn’t move in any other direction. If the attack was fast enough, it would be a sitting duck.

Unfortunately, given the distance between them, Fire Fang Dog’s attack speed wasn’t fast enough to directly hit Lick Lick Drop while it was still falling.

It should have aimed for the landing spot, which was where the fireball had just hit.

Qiao Sang finished analyzing the situation and was about to speak.

To her surprise, the moment she finished her analysis, Fire Fang Dog seemed to sense her thoughts. It opened its mouth, and a Spark the size of a basketball launched an attack towards the position she had envisioned in her mind.

Lick Lick Drop had just landed, its injured sole making intimate contact with the still scorching ground littered with fire residue. It bravely endured without crying out.

However, the next second, a terrifying ball of flame containing immense energy flew directly at it.

“Lick Lick!”

This was the advantage of a preemptive strike. If the attack was well-executed, one could completely control the pace of the battle.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“How come I feel like Qiao Sang is gaining the upper hand…?” Wang Jihang blurted out.

He was the last person in the individual battle group.

“You’re not mistaken.” Lu Liangye nodded seriously.

He no longer felt any desire to compare himself to Qiao Sang.

If the opponent was only slightly stronger than him, he might still be unconvinced, but if the opponent was overwhelmingly stronger and crushed him in every aspect, then he could only feel admiration and envy.

“Tongue Lick.” Qin Wen said calmly.

Tongue Lick?

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, instantly remembering Little Treasure Hunting Ghost. She remembered that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost also knew this skill, which involved licking with its tongue, with a certain chance of causing paralysis to the opponent.

But that required close proximity.

Logically, Water-type Pets were generally suited for long-range attacks, and furthermore, Water-type Pets had limited movement on land, their speed far from what it was in water.

Could it be that Lick Lick Drop had learned some special move to surprise them by getting here?

“Fire Fang Dog.” Qiao Sang didn’t say much, just called out its name.

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog responded, its eyes becoming sharp and alert.

Lick Lick Drop stood still, extended its long tongue, and then… licked its own wound…

Qiao Sang: “…”

Fire Fang Dog: “…”

If not now, when would be the time to attack!

Just as Qiao Sang thought this, a blue light emanated from Fire Fang Dog, and Lick Lick Drop’s movements instantly froze, unable to move.

Qin Wen stood rooted to the spot. This, this was Superpower?

How could it be Superpower?! Isn’t this a Fire-type Pet?!

Qiao Sang’s mind raced. With Lick Lick Drop’s ability, it would likely break free from the control very quickly, and Fire Fang Dog’s Superpower wasn’t enough to control Lick Lick Drop to cause significant damage. So, she needed to use this controlled phase to inflict high-damage attacks.

“Mars Rain!”

Fire Fang Dog tilted its head upwards, energy condensing within its body.

However, at the same time, the blue light on it dissipated, and Lick Lick Drop also lost control.

Qiao Sang was stunned. This wasn’t what she had expected!

She had envisioned Mars Rain falling while it was still controlled, ensuring Lick Lick Drop couldn’t escape.

After all, Mars Rain, with Fire Fang Dog’s current energy, wasn’t enough to cover the entire field. Lick Lick Drop, without control, should have been able to avoid it.

But now the Superpower was gone.

Could Fire Fang Dog not release two skills simultaneously?

No, that’s not right. Fire Fang Dog could also use Ram while performing Fire Fang.

Is it a problem with different attributes, or does this require future training to achieve?

While Qiao Sang was thinking, Qin Wen’s heart pounded wildly, and she quickly ended the battle.

“That’s enough! The battle ends here!”

If she hadn’t misheard just now, Qiao Sang had said Mars Rain, right?!

Was it that Mars Rain?!

Qin Wen tried to calm herself down.

It was only meant to test their practical combat level. Regardless of whether Mars Rain was real or not, it was already enough…

Fire Fang Dog, hearing this, paused. The unformed Energy Ball dissipated.

“Ya?”

No more fighting?

“Qiao Sang, you did very well. There are other training sessions coming up, so don’t waste your Pet’s stamina and energy.” Qin Wen wiped her sweat and stepped forward to say.

Everyone was still immersed in the shock that Fire Fang Dog’s evolved form could release Superpower System skills, but hearing Qin Wen’s words, they all came back to their senses.

Don’t waste the Pet’s stamina and energy?

Then who was it that exhausted all of their Pets’ energy yesterday?

…

18:00 in the evening.

Qiao Sang returned to her dorm and took a shower.

She lay on her bed and picked up her phone to buy a rope online that would fit Fire Fang Dog’s current size so she could string the Fire Condensing Beads. She also looked at a few houses for rent near Saint Water Middle School.

Her requirements for a house weren’t high.

Besides being close to the school, it also needed to be fully furnished with appliances, have a pond, and not have many neighbors around, otherwise, the constant sound of skill releases would likely lead to frequent visits from neighbors.

Unfortunately, with just these four requirements, she only found two places for rent.

After confirming viewing times with both, Qiao Sang turned off her phone.

She looked up at Fire Fang Dog and Xiao Xunbao playing above the room.

A day of training had not pushed Fire Fang Dog to its limit at all. It finished ten laps when other Pets had just finished two. The Gravity in the Gravity Room was set at 10kg for fairness, which was a Gravity that Fire Fang Dog had mastered ages ago.

Qiao Sang felt a bit helpless. After a day of training, it felt like the progress wasn’t as fast as it had been back at Qiao Sang’s Old Home a while ago.

Staring at her two Pets for a while, Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

…

18:56 in the evening.

On the playground.

A blue-glowing figure was running around the track. If one looked closely, they would notice that the figure was about five centimeters above the ground.

“Fire Fang Dog, don’t go too fast. Be steady. We’re not aiming for speed, but for stability. The longer you run like this, the greater the effect will be.” Qiao Sang lay on Fire Fang Dog’s back, hands behind her head, looking at the sky and speaking leisurely.

“Ya!”

Fire Fang Dog barked lightly, then slowed its pace.

Qiao Sang, resting on the comfortable fur and feeling the evening breeze, grew more and more impressed with her own cleverness.

If Fire-type skills couldn’t be trained at school right now, then she would train Superpower System skills instead.

Using Superpower while carrying her to run could train Superpower release, exercise physical fitness, and allow her to admire the night sky—three birds with one stone…

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost lay on Qiao Sang’s stomach in the same position, looking at the night sky.

It stared at the twinkling stars, lost in thought.

After a while, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at the starry sky, extended a claw, and poked Qiao Sang’s belly.

“Xun~”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Good boy, we can’t do that.” Qiao Sang laughed.

Wanting stars and such was truly cute…

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost retracted its claw and cried out sadly.

Fire Fang Dog heard the conversation, looked up at the night sky. He could fly now, and his little brother just wanted a star.

Easy!

Qiao Sang looked at the starry sky, feeling joyful and peaceful.

It had been a long time since she had been so quiet.

The evening breeze was also so gentle… Uh, it didn’t seem very gentle…

Qiao Sang hugged Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tightly, turned her head, and was instantly bewildered.

Where was the school?

Where was the playground?!

Where was the ground!!!
