Chapter 222: Heartbeat

“Snow, Snow Centipede can no longer fight! Qiao Sang wins!” the Teacher announced with a trembling voice.

He lost… Xue Chuhua, disheartened, recalled his Snow Centipede into his yu beast codex.

At this moment, the entire Holy Water Arena was completely boiling, and almost all the students had gone mad.

“Oh my god! How is Qiao Sang so strong!”

“The Yan Ling Dog is so cool!”

“Speaking of which, what was that ghost just now? Did I see things? How did the Yan Ling Dog suddenly disappear?”

“I saw it too! And that Fire Fang move! Why does it feel different from a normal Fire Fang?”

“Don’t you think the way the Yan Ling Dog moved next to the Snow Centipede looked very similar to how a Treasure Hunting Ghost uses instant transmission?”

“You, you mean…”

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”

“!!!”

“Liu Yao.” Principal Wang Weidou’s eyes were fixed on Qiao Sang in the arena as he asked, “Who do you think is stronger, her or Ding Yanjing from Li Tan?”

Liu Yao thought for a moment and said, “If they were the same age, then naturally Qiao Sang would be stronger. Give Qiao Sang another six months, and it’s possible she could even surpass Ding Yanjing. But right now, Qiao Sang can’t beat him.”

Ding Yanjing, the prodigy of Li Tan Royal Pet High School, is currently in his third year of high school.

In his first year of high school, he achieved first place in the provincial National Campus Pet Beast League for his grade, and later achieved impressive results in the divisional competition.

Now, he only needs to pass the D-level Beastmaster assessment to participate in the tests for Top Universities. With his strength, getting into a Top Universities is already a sure thing.

He is a treasure to Li Tan High School and a rather special existence for Saint Water Middle School.

Although Saint Water Middle School has always been suppressed by Li Tan Middle School, in previous years, they were still closely pursuing, and the gap wasn’t too significant.

But ever since Ding Yanjing’s year in the National School Team Pet Beast League, the gap has visibly widened.

As long as you faced him in a competition, there was no hope of winning.

And that wasn’t all; Ding Yanjing had a peculiar habit: he liked to hear his opponents admit defeat personally.

If the opponent didn’t surrender, he would repeatedly torment their Pet during the match. Xue Chuhua quit the School Team in his first year of high school after losing to Ding Yanjing.

This behavior caused dissatisfaction among the leaders of various schools at the time, and Wang Weidou was one of them.

Wang Weidou was not resigned and continued to ask, “What do you think if I let Qiao Sang participate in the third-year competition of this National Campus Pet Beast League?”

Under normal circumstances, the National Middle School Campus Pet Beast League is grouped by grade level. If there were no surprises, Qiao Sang should participate in the first-year competition.

“You need to think carefully,” Liu Yao glanced at him and said, “If Qiao Sang participates in the first-year competition, her chances of winning first place in this year’s first-year group are over 99%. If she participates in the third-year group, it’s highly probable she won’t have a chance at first place.”

Wang Weidou fell silent.

Although he really wanted his school’s students to beat Ding Yanjing, he wanted even more to beat Li Tan High School in front of all the major media outlets and shed the title of being the perennial runner-up.

“Is anyone else coming up?” Seeing no one come up for a long time, the Teacher asked into the microphone.

Everyone looked at each other, pushing one another.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to go up? Go on, hurry up now.”

“Didn’t you also say you were going up just now? You go first.”

“I was just saying that to set the mood, I didn’t really want to go up.”

“I was just saying that too. My grades are in the top hundred of the whole school, getting into a good university is no problem, why would I need to join the School Team?”

Pfft, just say you don’t dare to go up, why make excuses…

Heh, same to you…

The two people speaking exchanged glances, then tacitly shifted their gazes.

…

In the arena.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao wagged its tail, looking expectantly at its Yu Beast Master.

Where’s the opponent! It remembered being told that as long as it didn’t lose, it could keep fighting!

Don’t rush, she just needs to say something provocative, she’s familiar with this operation… Qiao Sang gave Ya Bao a look that told it to calm down.

Before she could make a move, the Teacher beside her suddenly asked, “The microphone, do you want it?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Yes.”

The Teacher showed an expression that said, “I knew it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

She didn’t want to either!

But if she didn’t say anything, no one would come up, and if no one came up, what about her Points?

There were many people now, and if she didn’t take the opportunity to earn more, she didn’t know when she would finish collecting the Points needed for Ya Bao to evolve into a High-level Pet.

Anyway, she had already offended most people, so it didn’t matter this time… Qiao Sang stepped forward, took the microphone from the Teacher, and looked up, saying, “Surely no one is going to come up now, right?”

No one spoke.

What the hell else would they come up for!

One Treasure Hunting Ghost wasn’t enough, and now there was a Yan Ling Dog with Fire System and Superpower System, how could they fight?

Isn’t it just a School Team spot? Can’t we just not want it!

Seeing that everyone didn’t react much, Qiao Sang continued, “I haven’t even gotten serious yet, and you’re already giving up?”

Everyone stirred, but still no one came up.

Qiao Sang was a bit puzzled by this.

Ya Bao hadn’t even shown its ultimate move yet, so why was no one coming up?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and decided to try something drastic.

“Whoever beats me, I’ll give them a secret manual that teaches instant transmission.”

A secret manual for instant transmission?!

Everyone present was a bit bewildered.

In this day and age, who doesn’t have to spend a lot of money to learn a skill?

There are countless Yu Beast Masters who scrimp and save, living in misery, just to teach their Pet a new skill.

If it really was a secret manual for learning instant transmission, it would cost at least six figures!

Even if their own Pet couldn’t learn it, wouldn’t they get rich by selling it off!

Everyone present, including the Teacher, couldn’t sit still.

Good heavens, this secret manual is worth more than a year of my salary!

No one doubted that Qiao Sang was lying.

One Pet learning it might be a coincidence, but two Pets knowing it was enough to prove the authenticity of this secret manual.

For a moment, it was no longer just third-year students rushing forward; first-year and second-year students were also pushing their way to the front.

As expected, people still need temptation… Qiao Sang looked at the crowd pushing to get up and was very satisfied with her cleverness.

“Why are you pushing!”

“I was here first, okay!”

“You’re a first-year, right? Do you have a High-level Pet? Why are you joining the fun?”

“I want to, can you stop me?”

“Everyone, quiet down!” Qiao Sang waved her hand and said.

The person speaking was the protagonist who caused this incident, and everyone respectfully quieted down.

“Cough, cough.” Qiao Sang cleared her throat and continued, “I have an idea. As you all just saw, it’s quite difficult to defeat me. How about this: as long as someone eventually beats me, everyone who came up to compete during that time will receive a secret manual for instant transmission.”

All Teachers and students: “!!!”

Over 3000 people in the entire school were tempted.
