Chapter 173: Find a sparring partner

Friday, 7 AM.

Qiao Sang opened her eyes in bed, picked up her phone next to her to check the time, saw it was too early, and without a second thought, put it down and went back to sleep.

Lately, she didn’t know what was going on, but she could wake up naturally in the mornings without an alarm, and her mind would be extremely clear, without any drowsiness.

If she had to go to school for training, it would be fine, but it was precisely when she could indulge herself and sleep until the afternoon that she woke up so early.

The School Team’s task was for five days, and three days had already passed. The thought of only being able to sleep in for two more days made Qiao Sang resent her biological clock.

She lay there for over ten minutes, her eyes closed, but her mind couldn’t stop thinking about many things.

Ya Bao’s skills were currently sufficient for the present stage, and its basic qualities were being extensively trained daily at school. What needed to be done now was to increase skill proficiency and practical combat experience.

For practical combat, it was naturally more reliable to go to a battle club and find professional sparring partners.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of her few companions in the School Team, but to make progress in practical combat, she definitely needed to find a Yu Beast Master who was on par with her or stronger than her.

After training at school for this period, she had a general understanding of the skill levels of a few people in the School Team.

They might be excellent among their peers, but in front of Ya Bao, who possessed Fire-type and Superpower System abilities, had skill proficiency boosted by a Gold Finger, and had even learned Mars Rain, they truly weren’t enough.

As for Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, there was much more to do.

The first thing to do was to cultivate Ghost Fire and forge its ring, splitting it into two.

Secondly, Hypnosis and Superpower needed more practice. These two skills had been what Little Treasure Hunting Ghost practiced the most recently. As long as the proficiency of one of them reached Profound Meaning, not to mention opponents of the same level, challenging higher-level opponents would be commonplace.

As for physical basic qualities, they didn’t need much practice; for a Pet, skills were the most important.

As a Ghost-type Pet with the Penetration trait and Teleportation, what needed to be done to further enhance its strength was to improve the proficiency of its existing skills and master new ones.

New skills were already right in front of her.

Dark Shadow Control. If this skill could be learned at the Beginner stage, that would naturally be best. If not, it was fine, after all, besides Ya Bao, she hadn’t seen any other Pet learn a High Level skill at the Beginner stage.

Qiao Sang thought for a long time and felt that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost only needed to split its ring into two, and then practice Hypnosis or Superpower proficiency to Profound Meaning, and then it could prepare for evolution.

During this period, she could find a battle club, improve her practical combat ability, and also accumulate some Points.

As long as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost achieved the two Points mentioned above, she could directly max out its Points and let it evolve. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she couldn’t sleep. She suddenly sat up.

Then she saw Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sleeping soundly, lying on its side on the floor.

Qiao Sang didn’t react for a moment. Ghost-type Pets generally didn’t like to sleep, especially at night, and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was no exception, but it didn’t stay awake 24 hours a day.

Because it was still young, it would nap for two hours late at night or in the middle of the day.

It was early in the morning now, and this was the first time she had seen Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sleeping at this time.

“Little Qunbao?” Qiao Sang called softly.

“Qun…” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was a light sleeper. Feeling a familiar voice calling it, it groggily crawled up, then fell back down.

Qiao Sang: “…”

It seemed it was really sleepy… Qiao Sang got up, picked it up, and gently placed it on the bed.

…

9:45 AM.

Hongying Pet Battle Club.

“Hello, how may I help you?” The Miss at the front desk showed a standard eight-tooth smile.

“I’m looking for a Beginner sparring partner,” Qiao Sang said.

The battle club’s division of sparring partner levels was basically based on Pet level.

Beginner sparring partners were mostly Yu Beast Masters who owned one Beginner Pet or Intermediate Pet.

“Do you have any requirements for the Beginner sparring partner you’re looking for?” The Miss at the front desk asked with a smile.

“I want the most expensive and best one,” Qiao Sang said with an imposing air.

Who would have thought that the person who couldn’t even afford 1000 alliance coins per hour for a sparring partner two months ago now demanded the most expensive without even asking the price.

Qiao Sang looked calm, with an air of not caring about money at all.

“All our Beginner sparring partners have a unified price,” the Miss at the front desk said. “If you want a better sparring partner, you can find an Intermediate sparring partner to help you. Our Intermediate sparring partners have more experience in battles.”

Intermediate sparring partners generally owned at least two Pets, with one Pet’s level reaching High Level Yu Beast Master. The difference from Beginner sparring partners was not small.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and asked, “What is the price for an Intermediate sparring partner?”

“Our Intermediate sparring partners also have a unified price, 3000 alliance coins per hour,” the Miss at the front desk replied with a smile.

3000 alliance coins, equal to her three months’ pocket money before she became a Yu Beast Master…

Even if she had money now, she couldn’t squander it like this… Qiao Sang’s rationality returned, and she said, “A Beginner sparring partner will be fine.”

“Okay, do you have any requirements for the Beginner sparring partner you’re looking for?” The Miss at the front desk asked the same question again.

“I hope his Pet is an Intermediate Pet,” Qiao Sang replied.

…

The Hongying Pet Battle Club was very efficient. Soon after Qiao Sang entered the large indoor battle arena, the sparring partner she requested arrived.

The person who came in was a tall, handsome man, looking about 23 years old.

“Hello, my name is Lin Yuanqi, and I’m your sparring partner for this session.”

The moment he saw Qiao Sang, Lin Yuanqi was a bit disappointed.

He had rushed over excitedly when he heard it was a girl, but he didn’t expect her to be such a young child.

Children of this age not only haven’t achieved financial freedom, but they also can’t appreciate his handsomeness. It seemed impossible to develop her into a regular client.

“Hello.”

Qiao Sang, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with the sparring partner in front of her.

Good, he’s old enough, so he should have more battle experience.

“It’s rare for you to train your Pet at such a young age. Most children your age are probably still just playing with their Pets. When I was your age, all I knew was to play every day.”

Although Lin Yuanqi felt that the girl in front of him couldn’t be developed into a long-term client, he was good at socializing and habitually tried to liven the atmosphere and build goodwill.

“How old are you? You look like a middle school student. I heard you wanted an Intermediate Pet sparring partner. From my many years of experience, it’s better for a Pet not to battle a Pet one level higher than itself. I have a…”

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but interrupt him: “Has the timer started?”

Lin Yuanqi: “…”

His usually successful social tactics suffered a setback. Sure enough, children this young couldn’t appreciate his handsome face…

“It starts now,” Lin Yuanqi said, summoning his Pet.

“Come out, Double-Tailed Tortoise.”

Double-Tailed Tortoise, huh? Ya Bao had already thoroughly studied it when it was a Fire Fang Dog. No challenge there… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

“Little Qunbao, you’re up.”

“Qun~”
