Chapter 212: Demonstration of strength of school team

Li Yi stepped forward, bent down to pick up his glasses, and after silently examining the crack on the lens for more than ten seconds, he asked with a forced smile, “Whose Pet was it that touched my glasses just now?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

What’s due will eventually come… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, propped her hands on the desk, stood up, and admitted, “It’s mine.”

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl sitting in the corner. She felt a bit familiar, but he wasn’t sure. After putting on his glasses, he took a closer look and instantly froze.

Good heavens, wasn’t this the student that the Vice Principal, Qin Wen, Luo Qian, and that firecracker Zheng Guoping had all mentioned to him at the same time?!

He remembered that on the eve of the school year, the Vice Principal had contacted him, saying there was a student named Qiao Sang in his class, and if he saw her playing with her phone, he should turn a blind eye.

Qin Wen called him, saying that if a new student named Qiao Sang couldn’t pass the cultural exam, he shouldn’t pressure her, as her focus might be entirely on Yu Beast Master battles and training.

Luo Qian, on the other hand, told him to subtly hint at the benefits of coordination competitions to Qiao Sang.

As for Zheng Guoping…

Li Yi clearly remembered the scene at that time.

Zheng Guoping specifically came to his office early in the morning, patted his shoulder, and exclaimed, “Qiao Sang is in your class, you’re a lucky kid.”

Lucky? Lucky for what? Sacrificing a pair of glasses on the first day of school?

Li Yi pondered for a long time, then said, “Why would you want to sit at the back of the classroom? Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to see clearly in front?”

Qiao Sang: “???”

…

September 1st each year has always been a day that older students look forward to, because there’s excitement to watch.

And many new students who already know the customs of Saint Water Middle School are also waiting for this moment to become a campus celebrity.

The School Team’s strength display segment.

To put it nicely, it’s going up to show off one’s strength; to put it not so nicely, it’s going up to make a fool of oneself.

With so many people from the whole school watching, if one performs poorly, they will be talked about until graduation, and might even directly lose the qualification for early romance.

Everyone has just become a Yu Beast Master, so why were you selected for the School Team and I wasn’t? Many new students have this thought internally.

The Holy Water Arena is also the largest competition venue at Saint Water Middle School.

Usually, any major school competitions and activities are held here.

The circular, tiered audience seats were packed with people, and all the teachers and students of the school gathered together.

In various classes, many students were discussing the upcoming opening ceremony.

“Have you heard? It seems we can challenge the School Team members later. If we win, can we directly replace the loser and join the School Team?”

“Where did you hear this news?”

“My cousin. She has a friend who is in her third year at our school. She told me.”

“No way. How would they challenge? If everyone went up for a continuous battle, the School Team would definitely lose.”

“It seems they said there’s a School Doctor waiting backstage, restoring after each battle.”

“Forget it, I have no hope. I contracted a Cotton Section Worm.”

“…”

“I spent a lot of money to get some inside information. There are three particularly powerful individuals in our School Team this year.” A mushroom-headed boy in the audience held a document and seriously told the students who had gathered around him, “First is Wang Jihang. He contracted a Bubble Bell, a Superpower Pet. You know what that means.”

“Next is Lu You. This guy has money power at home. He contracted a Little Horned Dragon. I don’t need to say much about the terror of Dragon-type Pets, right? If you want to win, don’t pick him.”

“Finally, there’s a girl named Qiao Sang, who contracted a Fire Fang Dog.” At this Point, the mushroom-headed boy lowered his voice and said, “According to reliable sources, the Yan Ling Dog, the latest evolution of the Fire Fang Dog that caused a big stir in our city a while ago, is her Pet.”

“No way!” The boy on the right gasped, “Isn’t she the same age as us? Becoming a Yu Beast Master was only two months ago, right?”

“Others awakened spontaneously, so it might have been earlier than two months,” the mushroom-headed boy said.

“That’s truly insane,” the boy on the right exclaimed, “Our school is amazing! Such talented individuals are studying here.”

Just then, the boy on the left, who had been silent, asked in his raspy voice, “How many Yan Ling Dogs are there in our city now?”

The mushroom-headed boy looked speechless and said, “How many do you think? In our entire city, no, I should say, currently in the entire world, there is only this one Yan Ling Dog.”

Wang Yiding was dumbfounded. He thought the girl who helped him find Ke Guan Meow last time only looked similar in age to him, but he never expected her to actually be the same age…

“If you want to win, don’t pick those three,” the mushroom-headed boy paused, then chuckled, “However, if you want to gain some fame in school, wait until the students before you exhaust their Pets’ stamina before going up. Except for Qiao Sang’s Yan Ling Dog, you might have a slight chance of winning against the other two.”

Long battles test not only a Pet’s energy and physical strength, but also its stamina.

Stamina refers to a Pet’s ability to sustain long battles, which is its ability to resist fatigue.

A Pet’s energy and physical strength can be restored by healing skills or recovery liquids, but stamina cannot.

Pets with weak willpower, once their stamina is exhausted, will only expose numerous flaws in battle.

…

“Hello everyone, first of all, on behalf of the school leadership, I extend my warm congratulations and sincere welcome to the first-year students who have just joined our school.” A man in a white shirt, about 1.8 meters tall, exuding a scholarly aura and looking only around 24 years old, stepped onto the stage to give a speech.

“Welcome to becoming glorious Yu Beast Masters, but this is just the beginning! The world is finite, but a Yu Beast Master’s quest is infinite!”

Behind the stage curtain, all the special admissions students were looking out through a slit in the curtain.

Qiao Sang looked at the man speaking on stage and hesitated, “Is our Principal that young?”

“He’s not young at all,” Lu You chuckled, “Guess how old he is?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “26?”

“Incorrect,” Lu You said.

“36?”

“Guess boldly, just think bigger.”

“96.”

Lu You: “…”

“I told you to guess bigger, not to guess he’s gone,” Lu You said helplessly, “He’s 48 this year. He became a D-level Beastmaster at 20. Because he received feedback from his Pet when he was young, he aged a bit slower.”

Qiao Sang was greatly shocked.

In the past, her circle was small, either at school or at home. She had only seen online that Yu Beast Masters could maintain youth through Pet feedback, with middle-aged and elderly people looking like young adults. This was her first time seeing a living example in reality.

Of course, she might have encountered such people on the street, but if they didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t know.

“Are you nervous?” Lu You suddenly asked, looking at the thousands of students sitting outside the slit.

“Nervous!” Wang Jihang, standing by, touched his heart and said, “I feel like my heart rate might be 180 right now.”

“Who asked you?” Lu You turned his head, speechless, “I asked Qiao Sang.”

Wang Jihang: “…”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then excitedly said, “Nervous? How could I be? I can’t wait to go out there.”

Waiting for her were not only battles but also Points!
