Chapter 287: please forgive me!

Not going anymore?

How can that be!

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, immediately wanting to say something to provoke them.

Just then, Sun Boyi said, “Although Qiao Sang is still a first-year high school student, her recent battle was enough to demonstrate her strength. You all shouldn’t have any objections to her joining our third-year School Team, right?”

Aside from He Datao, who was still looking disheartened, the other third-year School Team members all shook their heads.

No objections?

Does that mean there won’t be any more battles?!

No!

Absolutely not!

“Ahem.” Qiao Sang cleared her throat, trying to attract everyone’s attention.

Before she could speak, Sun Boyi continued:

“Since everyone has no problems, then tomorrow, once He Datao’s Pet recovers, along with Xu Yixuan and Zhang Dezhou, the three of you will have a selection. The loser will become a substitute.”

He had spent over two years nurturing He Datao and the others, so it would be a lie to say he had no feelings for them. Sun Boyi naturally hoped that these third-year students could all participate in what would be their last National Campus Pet Beast League.

However, this was a national competition, not only concerning individual honor but also tied to the school’s honor. Naturally, the strongest would prevail.

He Datao’s spirits lifted upon hearing this, and he loudly responded, “Understood!”

He felt like he had come back to life!

Normally, when battling, he and Zhang Dezhou were usually a six-four split.

He was six, Zhang Dezhou was four. This number sounded very auspicious!

If he couldn’t beat the monstrous junior, could he at least beat Zhang Dezhou?

Zhang Dezhou internally scoffed, not even needing to look at He Datao. Just hearing the excitement in his voice was enough to know what he was thinking.

“Ahem.” Taking advantage of the lull, Qiao Sang coughed twice more.

However, Sun Boyi continued:

“There’s not much else to say. The National Campus Pet Beast League is about a month away. Let’s focus on training, just like usual.” Having said this, Sun Boyi immediately remembered that Qiao Sang was here for the first time and didn’t know about their usual training, so he added:

“You form your own teams, two people per group for battles. After you finish, switch partners. Once everyone has rotated through battling all five other people, then form groups of three for an hour of team battle mode training before going home.”

“As for He Datao, you go to the infirmary today to get your Pet healed first.”

After speaking, Sun Boyi looked at Qiao Sang and asked with concern, “Is your throat a little uncomfortable?”

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “It’s very comfortable.”

…

Knowing that the rest of the time would be spent on battles, Qiao Sang naturally wouldn’t go out of her way to say anything provocative.

After all, everyone would be training together from now on, so it was better to get along well.

Ultimately, she wasn’t a battle maniac; she was just forced into it by the Point.

“Why are you all tired? Keep going!” Qiao Sang looked at the senior students who, after only a few battles, had ‘I can’t go on’ written all over their faces, feeling very confused.

It had only been about an hour of battling!

This was just the beginning! Sun Teacher had just left, so why were they all wilting?!

“Ya!”

Yabao, on the other hand, looked at the Pets panting on the ground and let out an impassioned cry.

Don’t just lie there! Get up and continue battling!

Everyone: “…”

All Pets: “…”

“Xun…”

Little Xunbao, who had battled a few rounds, showed an expression that said, “How about we just call it a day?”

“Ya!”

Yabao nodded very agreeably.

If you’re tired, then rest. I’ll fight!

“Xun!”

Little Xunbao nodded vigorously.

It thought this was a good idea!

Qiao Sang heard their conversation, turned to Little Xunbao, and said seriously, “No, you’ve only fought three rounds. You need to battle at least two more. If you get injured, we have Lubao, and if you run out of energy and get tired, we have energy recovery fluid.”

At this Point, Qiao Sang looked at Lubao, who was holding a bottle of energy recovery fluid with its paw and drinking it, and smiled:

“You agree, right, Lubao.”

“Lu.”

Lubao let out a cold cry, indicating agreement.

“Xun…”

Little Xunbao looked pitifully at Yabao, seeking help.

Unexpectedly, Yabao was nodding, its expression full of approval.

“Ya.”

Its Yu Beast Master’s arrangements were very thoughtful.

Little Xunbao: “…”

Not far away, Zhang Dezhou sat on the ground, hands propped on the floor, legs spread wide in an ‘A’ shape, and said with a desolate expression, “Junior, how about we rest for a bit? We’ve been battling non-stop, without any rest. Anyone would be exhausted!”

The others nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Qiao Sang paused, “Senior, you’re a member of the battle group, right?”

Zhang Dezhou was stunned, “Yes.”

Everyone had introduced themselves before training, so Zhang Dezhou didn’t understand why Qiao Sang suddenly asked this again.

Did she not remember just now?

Or did she think he was too handsome and was asking again to deepen her impression?

Or was she trying to Taunt him? Thinking he was in the battle group yet so weak?

While Zhang Dezhou was letting his imagination run wild, Qiao Sang asked:

“Aren’t you having a knockout round tomorrow? I remember Sun Teacher said the loser would have to be a substitute. Aren’t you nervous at all?”

The unspoken meaning was: What are you resting for?! Someone’s going to be chosen as a substitute tomorrow, so hurry up and make the most of this last bit of time to train hard!

Zhang Dezhou froze for several seconds, his face changed, and he immediately stood up, hands propped on the ground, shouting at his Pet:

“Floating Bell! Don’t rest! Let’s continue!”

Floating Bell: “…”

Everyone: “.”

Qiao Sang nodded with satisfaction. That’s more like it!

The third-year School Team’s training methods were much more hardcore than the second-year School Team’s, and the time spent was also much longer. By the time training ended and they walked out of the school gates, it was completely dark.

“Yabao, why don’t you go back to the yu beast codex and rest?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask, looking at Yabao’s tired expression.

She had been so caught up in the joy of the Point increasing that she almost forgot that given Yabao and Lubao’s current relationship, Lubao wouldn’t provide Healing for Yabao at all.

“Ya.”

Yabao shook its head weakly.

Just walking, it could do it.

Qiao Sang: “.”

Even shaking its head was so difficult, yet it still said that. Typical of you.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ponder.

If Yabao and Lubao’s relationship couldn’t be repaired in a short time, then training efficiency would be much lower.

If this continued, and Yabao was so tired every time it returned from school training, she felt she wouldn’t have the heart to ask it to train skill releases anymore.

One must know, there was only about a month left until the National Campus Pet Beast League.

“You f*cking stop following me! I don’t want to see you again!”

“What did I do now?”

Just then, the sound of a man and a woman arguing came from the street. Qiao Sang subconsciously turned to look.

“We agreed on 6 PM, but it’s 7:33 now and you just got here. Did you fall asleep again? All you do is sleep, you’re almost as bad as your Soaring Pig!”

“What are you doing, you, all day long!”

“What am I doing?”

“You’ve been babbling all day, you’re endless! You were the one who said makeup might take time and told me to come a bit later.”

“I said a bit later, I didn’t say an hour and a half later!”

“I just dozed off for a bit, who knew I’d oversleep.”

“Anyway, don’t follow me now, seeing you annoys me!”

“Don’t be like that!”

The woman ignored him, turned, and walked away.

Just as Qiao Sang thought there was no more drama to watch, the man sighed, formed hand seals, and summoned a Pet that was mostly orange with long, rabbit-like ears.

“Panggu.” The man gestured with his eyes at the long-eared Pet.

“Gugu.” The long-eared Pet understood, patted its belly, and cried out towards the woman’s retreating back not far away.

A wave-like energy transmitted towards the woman.

After this energy passed, the man caught up and pulled the woman back, saying, “Forgive me!”

The woman glared at him, then said coyly, “Don’t do that again next time!”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”
