Chapter 272: Golden Gloves

How did it suddenly learn Rain Prayer…? Qiao Sang was stunned on the spot.

With the precedent of Yabao and Little Qunbao learning advanced skills at the Beginner stage, Qiao Sang wasn’t surprisingly shocked by Lubao learning Rain Prayer.

It’s just that it hadn’t learned it last night, and it hadn’t trained today either, so how did Rain Prayer succeed? This left Qiao Sang a bit confused.

Even if it was like ‘sudden enlightenment’ as written in novels, there should be a process of enlightenment. But Lubao had been in the yu beast codex almost the entire day, doing nothing.

Just then, Qiao Sang saw a string of data.

[Water Mist (Minor Accomplishment 1902 / 2000) +]

Qiao Sang was startled. She remembered that when she looked at the yu beast codex last night, the data for Water Mist was 1677…

Data doesn’t lie, and what she couldn’t figure out instantly became clear.

This Lubao fellow had secretly trained on its own during the night while sleeping!

Qiao Sang’s consciousness returned to reality, and she looked at Ice Dew Qiya with a complex expression.

“Lu.”

Ice Dew Qiya flicked its tail aloofly.

It was just Rain Prayer; it could learn it without special training.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “…Impressive.”

“Lu.” Ice Dew Qiya looked calm.

Just basic operation.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Although Lubao learned Rain Prayer by desperately practicing on its own late at night, it was undeniable that in terms of talent, it was absolutely outstanding.

A normal Intermediate Pet, let alone practicing for one night, wouldn’t necessarily learn an advanced skill even after 100 nights of practice.

It seems Lubao’s evolution indeed brought about changes in certain aspects; at least its talent has improved significantly…

Qiao Sang didn’t say anything more, but that night, when she looked at the yu beast codex, she firmly memorized Ice Dew Qiya’s various data.

The next morning, upon waking up, Qiao Sang’s consciousness immediately entered the yu beast codex and, as expected, found that the data had changed.

[Rain Prayer (Beginner 43 / 100) +]

Qiao Sang looked at the changed data with great emotion. Rain Prayer was an advanced skill after all, and casting it once consumed a lot of energy. Without energy recovery fluid, practicing more than 40 times in one night was training to the death…

…

8:30 AM.

Saint Water Middle School.

As a contestant, Qiao Sang brought Little Qunbao to the designated competition spot.

There were many ongoing competition events at the same time, but almost everyone on the sports field was crowded around the bare-handed Chop competition area.

“You guys, a Treasure Hunting Ghost knows Fighting-type Chop, is that true?”

Although the news that Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy knew Fighting-type skills had already spread throughout the school, not everyone believed the rumor.

Especially students whose contracted Pets were Ghost-type Pets and Fighting-type Pets, they simply didn’t believe this news.

The most incompatible with Ghost-type was Fighting-type.

A Ghost-type Pet knowing Fighting-type skills felt even more outrageous than a mage engaging in close-quarters combat.

“What Treasure Hunting Ghost, open your eyes and look, that’s a Treasure Hunting Fairy!”

“…Hiss, it’s only been a month since school started, and it’s already evolved?”

“Compared to a Ghost-type Pet knowing Chop, what’s evolution!”

“Why do I always feel this news is fake? A Treasure Hunting Fairy knowing Chop, it just feels impossible when you think about it.”

“It’s pretty outrageous, but as soon as I think that the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Yu Beast Master is Qiao Sang, I feel like it’s not impossible.”

“Let me tell you this, if Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy knows Chop, then my Power Palm Crab knows Shadow Ball.”

The speaker was a male student from the second year who was about to participate in the bare-handed Chop.

“A Power Palm Crab knows Ghost-type skills? Are you kidding?” A classmate next to him scoffed.

The male student quickly said: “You know that’s a joke, so why do you believe it when someone says a Ghost-type Pet knows Chop?”

The classmate next to him said seriously: “That’s Qiao Sang’s Ghost-type Pet. Can you compare yourself to her? When you develop a brand new evolution for a Pet, then consecutively defeat more than 200 people undefeated, and have people from the Police Station specially come to present you with a commendation banner, by then, let alone your Power Palm Crab knowing Shadow Ball, I’d even believe your Power Palm Crab knows Flame Jet.”

The male student: “…”

Completely unable to refute…

“Qunbao.”

Little Qunbao stood firm at the designated spot, constantly moving its claws, looking eager to fight.

“Yongli.”

At this moment, the Yongli Monkey participating on the left scoffed.

Little Qunbao turned its head to look, only to see a tall figure several times taller than itself.

“Yongli.”

Seeing the little guy next to it looking over, the Yongli Monkey immediately showed off its well-developed biceps.

“Qunbao.”

Little Qunbao looked at the other’s height and muscles, then lowered its head to glance at its own short arms and legs. It pouted, immediately deflated, and showed a dejected expression.

“Little Qunbao! Come on!” Qiao Sang, noticing Little Qunbao’s mood was off, quickly shouted from the side: “Cheer up! Think about your Golden Gloves!”

“Yaya!”

Yabao desperately cheered.

“Qunbao!”

Little Qunbao’s eyes immediately filled with fighting spirit again.

“Haha, Qiao Sang, although I don’t know what you’re thinking, letting a Ghost-type Pet participate in bare-handed Chop, this isn’t a battle.” Just then, a muscular male student next to Qiao Sang said with a laugh: “I wonder if winning against you in this event could get me a Teleportation Secret Manual.”

Qiao Sang hadn’t answered yet when her classmates who came to cheer couldn’t help but speak up.

“You’re dreaming!”

“Qiao Sang, this guy is Liu Qijia from Class 9. His dad is a Yu Beast Master specializing in cultivating Fighting-type Pets, don’t agree to him casually!”

“You’re crazy for a secret manual! If you have the guts, win by strength in a battle!”

“What if she agrees, it’s not like Qiao Sang would lose!”

Just as the surrounding classmates were talking back and forth, Qiao Sang said: “If you win, giving you a secret manual isn’t out of the question.”

The surrounding classmates instantly fell silent.

Since Qiao Sang said so, she must be able to win!

Liu Qijia was dumbfounded. I just said it casually, and you actually agreed?!

Isn’t this just giving it away for free?!

“Are you serious?” Liu Qijia asked somewhat uncertainly.

“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Upon hearing the definite answer, Liu Qijia was ecstatic. A Teleportation Secret Manual, this was a Teleportation Secret Manual! Once he got it and sold it, his Yongli Monkey would have at least three years’ worth of resources!

He hadn’t even considered the possibility of losing.

“But I have another condition.” Qiao Sang said.

“Tell me!” Liu Qijia said seriously.

Qiao Sang said: “You also know that your chances of winning are very high. If we just bet on you winning and me giving you a secret manual, it’s not fair. How about this, if I win, you also give me something.”

Liu Qijia asked carelessly: “What do you want?”

That’s more like it, he knew there was no such good thing.

Qiao Sang smiled: “How about Golden Gloves?”

“Deal!” Liu Qijia agreed instantly.

Compared to a Teleportation Secret Manual, betting Golden Gloves was nothing.

Jin Feifan, who had been quiet, saw that the matter was settled and approached Qiao Sang, worried: “Is it really okay?”

“No problem.” Qiao Sang smiled: “Didn’t you hear what others said yesterday? My Treasure Hunting Fairy has a very high chance of winning. Even against a third-year, it’s a matter of crushing them in minutes.”

Jin Feifan: “.”

Tiles were already arranged in front of the thirteen participating Pets. As the first round of screening, ten stacked tiles were placed in front of each participating Pet.

“Whoosh!”

The teacher acting as referee blew the whistle to start the competition.

Almost everyone present focused their gaze on the third Treasure Hunting Fairy from the left, which seemed malnourished and had dyed hair.

“Qunbao!”
