Chapter 127: Zheng Baolong

Evening.

After showering, Qiao Sang brought Yabao to the training ground for practice.

It was still the usual run, five centimeters off the ground.

Just a few steps in, Qiao Sang, lying on the soft fur, suddenly thought of something. She propped herself up, turned her head, and said with concern, “This time, don’t run off into the sky without a word.”

“Ya!”

Yabao readily agreed.

It had no obsession with picking stars; it was purely because its little brother liked it. If it wasn’t allowed to pick them, then so be it. Training was more important!

Qiao Sang relaxed and lay back down.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao sat on its Yu Beast Master’s stomach, staring intently at the starry sky.

After spending so much time together, Qiao Sang had a good idea of what Xiao Xunbao liked.

It liked pretty things, and these pretty things were always small items.

Qiao Sang felt it was necessary to teach Xiao Xunbao some common sense.

But Xiao Xunbao was not even a month old yet, and explaining the universe, celestial bodies, and planets was too profound.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “Don’t look at it as small; it’s actually bigger than Yabao. We just feel it’s small because we’re too far away from it.”

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao paused, then turned to look at Yabao, who was enormous to it.

“Also, many stars don’t actually emit light. If you were to see them up close, you’d realize they’re not even as bright as your own eyes,” Qiao Sang continued.

Xiao Xunbao tried hard to recall its own eyes.

It looked up, then down, pouted for a moment, and when it looked up again, there was a hint of disdain in its eyes.

Xiao Xunbao watched the starry sky like this for a while, then suddenly extended a paw and pointed upwards.

“Xun.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

“We’ll have a chance to see them up close in the future,” Qiao Sang replied.

With humans already successfully migrating to other planets, not taking an interstellar trip would truly be a disservice to oneself.

However, this was something for who knew how many years later. For now, getting into a good university was the serious business.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness entered the yu beast codex. Yabao’s Psychic Power had already reached (Proficient 431/500) and was increasing at a rate of 1 Point every 30 seconds.

Psychic Power was unlike other skills; as long as the energy flow was maintained, it could remain in a released state.

Gaining 1 Point of proficiency every 30 seconds, this progress speed was simply divine!

If Yabao could maintain Psychic Power 24 hours a day, it could gain 2880 Points of proficiency in one day, and in seven days, its Psychic Power could reach the peak of Profound Meaning.

Of course, this was a dream…

Maintaining Psychic Power for 24 hours would definitely not be enough energy.

Subtracting time for training, eating, and sleeping, Yabao could at most practice Psychic Power for 2 or 3 hours a day.

After all, this was at school, and training continued during the day. It couldn’t be like before, practicing every day until it was drained.

At Qiao Sang’s Old Home, even if its energy was depleted, it could go back, drink some milk, watch TV, and barely relax.

But there was no TV at school. When Yabao returned to the dormitory, it would just float with Psychic Power, having nothing else to do. Even so, it could still practice for 2 or 3 hours, truly relying on its novelty for being able to fly.

However, it seemed better to use Psychic Power while moving on the training ground, as Yabao was an active Pet.

As Qiao Sang looked at the data and considered how long Yabao should run in the evenings, she faintly felt a vibration from outside.

Her consciousness returned to reality, and she found that someone had called her.

Upon checking, it was the Vice Principal.

Qiao Sang quickly answered.

Before she could speak, Liu Yao said, “Qiao Sang, all the members of our research project team are here. You should come tomorrow and meet everyone.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a second. Everyone was here? So fast?

As if knowing what Qiao Sang was thinking, Liu Yao smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry, we’re not starting the research immediately. It takes at least 3 months from applying for a research project to getting it approved. It’s just that several researchers are interested in this project, and they want to come and take a look first.”

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that society’s efficiency had reached such a terrifying level.

“But I still have to attend concentrated training tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry, it’s in the evening, around 6 PM. I’ll have Xian Teacher pick you up then.”

Pick me up?

Qiao Sang recalled her few experiences with teleportation and tactfully said, “Vice Principal, you don’t have to trouble Xian Teacher so much. Just tell me the location then, and I’ll go by myself.”

“No trouble, Xian Teacher is very fast.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

It was precisely because he was too fast, leaving no time to prepare, that she found it troublesome.

If only Yabao or Little Treasure Hunting Ghost could learn Space Movement in the future, then she would definitely be able to teleport after making full preparations.

…

The next morning at 7:43 AM.

Qiao Sang, with dark circles under her eyes, set off for Training Ground No. 5.

During their conversation yesterday, she was so excited about being able to train with the second-year School Team that she forgot the second-year School Team’s concentrated training started at 8 AM, a full hour earlier than the first-year School Team…

Thinking about having to sleep one hour less every day from now on, Qiao Sang lost her excitement from yesterday.

She listlessly arrived at Training Ground No. 5. As soon as she stepped in, a Water Gun about ten centimeters thick came straight at her.

Qiao Sang was stunned. Her still groggy mind made her unable to react immediately.

Fortunately, Yabao was agile. It blocked in front at the first moment, spitting out a Spark three times thicker than the Water Gun.

The Water Gun instantly retreated several meters and was defeated.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, white hot steam evaporated into the air above the training ground.

“Sorry, sorry, we were training, and the skill went off course by accident. Are you alright?”

A boy wearing glasses jogged over, accompanied by a Power Head Duck.

“Ya!”

Yabao exerted all its limbs, adopting a ready-to-attack posture. Its already red eyes became even more crimson, angrily locking onto the culprit who had unleashed the Water Gun.

Seeing this, the boy with glasses immediately braked, stopping three meters away, staring blankly at this Pet he had never seen before.

“Power Head!”

The Power Head Duck glared, also blocking in front of its Yu Beast Master.

“Guan Shou, it’s our fault, apologize quickly!”

The boy with glasses came to his senses, stepped forward, quickly pressed down the Power Head Duck’s head, and bowed himself.

“Power Head.”

The Power Head Duck’s facial expression twisted for a moment, but it still obediently let out a cry.

“I’m fine.” Qiao Sang was completely awake now.

The other party hadn’t done it on purpose, and their apology was sincere, so she naturally wouldn’t say anything.

“Yabao, I’m fine, come back.” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya.”

Yabao looked at the culprit, who was still bowing its head, then turned to confirm that its Yu Beast Master was indeed unharmed before turning and returning to its Yu Beast Master’s side.

“Xu Yajie, you’re done for. It’s been a week and you still haven’t trained properly. You can’t even control this. If Zheng Baolong finds out during today’s inspection, you’ll…” a boy with a buzz cut mocked from the center of the training ground.

At the same time, a voice suppressing anger came from behind Qiao Sang: “Who are you calling Zheng Baolong?”
