Chapter 332: I’ve been looking for you for a long time

The competition lasted until the afternoon, and apart from the two-hour break at noon, the battles practically never stopped.

4:33 PM.

He Datao put away his Magma Burst Gorilla and walked off the field.

“We should be done with our matches today, right? Want to go out for dinner tonight?” He Datao smiled, his perfect record today putting him in a good mood.

Logically, when the School Team goes out for competitions, their meals are uniformly arranged, and going out requires approval from the coach in charge.

However, this was still just the group stage. Sun Boyi knew the level of the third-year group well and was confident that all three of them would advance since half the participants from the group would qualify. Therefore, he was currently in a relatively hands-off state and didn’t act like coaches from other schools who would always come over to hype up or instruct their team members before each match.

As long as they could win and it didn’t affect the competition, just going out for a meal, the coach wouldn’t disagree. He Datao knew this well.

“No, I still need to prepare for tomorrow’s match,” Xu Yixuan refused.

Although she knew advancing from the group stage was not an issue, losing two consecutive matches to Qiao Sang today still left her with little appetite to go out and eat.

“Then let’s go,” He Datao looked at Qiao Sang.

“I…” Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, Ice Dew Qiya patted her with a paw.

“Lu.”

Go where? We need to train.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she changed her tone, saying, “I also need to prepare for tomorrow’s match.”

He Datao was stunned for a moment, then immediately began to reflect on himself.

Two people stronger than him were working so hard; what reason did he have to relax because of a temporary victory!

“Then I’m not going either,” He Datao said.

I’ll put you back in the yu beast codex later. You don’t understand the balance between work and rest. Xiao Xunbao knew to go out for a stroll when it first came over… Qiao Sang silently lowered her head and glanced at Ice Dew Qiya.

“Lu.” Just then, Ice Dew Qiya looked up.

“We’ll train as soon as we get back,” Qiao Sang said with a serious expression.

“Lu.” Ice Dew Qiya nodded, indicating that this was the plan.

…

Since she promised Ice Dew Qiya, she couldn’t just lie down when she got back like she did during the preliminaries.

In the public training ground of the Hongrao Yu Beast Center, Xiao Xunbao and Ice Dew Qiya were conducting skill release training.

Because people from other schools participating in the competition all stayed at the Yu Beast Center, and there was only one training ground available, the area was crowded with people and Pets. Xiao Xunbao and Ice Dew Qiya could only practice skills with less power.

Although there were many people, few were actually training.

Are you kidding me? The only Yan Ling Dog and the endangered Pet, Ice Dew Qiya, were both here. Who could still have the mind to train!

“Yan Ling Dog! Oh my god! It’s right in front of me! This damned handsomeness is blinding my eyes!”

“Look at Ice Dew Qiya’s tail and ears! I really want to touch them!”

“Yan Ling Dog just looked over! Was it looking at me? Was it looking at me?!”

“Quick! Help me take a picture. I want to be in the same frame as them, understand!” A boy excitedly handed his phone to a Power Head Duck, pointing at the red, white, and light blue figures not far away.

“Power Head.” The Power Head Duck took the phone and nodded, then, with a serious and extremely professional expression, changed various angles and furiously pressed the shutter button.

Many people around were doing things like asking their Pets to help take pictures.

“Aren’t you going?” Qiao Sang poked Xiao Xunbao on her head, asking while looking at Xiao Xunbao and Ice Dew Qiya’s positions.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao shook its head, giving the excuse it had already prepared with an extremely sincere expression.

There were too many people, and the power of its skills was too strong, making it easy to hurt others, so it was better not to practice.

Bullshit, keep bullshitting. You can even come up with such a shameless excuse… Qiao Sang mumbled internally, then began to think about the skills Xiao Xunbao could train.

The fact that Xiao Xunbao had Superpower System abilities hadn’t been revealed on the forum yet, meaning others didn’t know. So, she should keep it hidden for now and not train Superpower System skills in public.

As for Ghost-type skills, she still needed to master Dark Shadow Control first, but practicing this move required a target…

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “You should find a few ants and keep them ready first.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated in front of its Yu Beast Master, wiggled its short toes, and curled its mouth into a smug expression. Then, it skillfully took off its circular ring and rummaged inside, soon pulling out a beverage bottle.

Qiao Sang was truly bewildered by the beverage bottle in Xiao Xunbao’s paw.

Inside the beverage bottle, there was no beverage, but rather a dozen or so ants slowly crawling.

These ants were actually alive… Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment and asked, “When did you put these ants in the circular ring?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao rubbed its chin with its paw, showing a look of serious recollection, then called out with a confident expression.

It was the night when Big Brother Xiao Xunbao took the whistle.

Qiao Sang was stunned for several seconds. That was at least a week ago. Ants wouldn’t last more than a few minutes in an anaerobic environment; how could they still be alive now?

Unless, Xiao Xunbao’s circular ring could now store living things…

As soon as this possibility came to mind, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel excited. The ability of a space to store living things had a completely different meaning!

She remembered that the first characteristic of Xiao Xunbao, “Reception,” in the yu beast codex, referred to the function of the circular ring. If the circular ring had indeed changed, the information in the yu beast codex would definitely change synchronously!

It was all her fault; she usually only focused on skills and didn’t pay much attention to the characteristic data.

Qiao Sang immediately wanted to enter the yu beast codex to check the page about Xiao Xunbao.

“Boom!!!”

Just then, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky.

Everyone on the training ground was startled.

“You scared the hell out of me! Why did it suddenly thunder?”

“The weather forecast didn’t say it would rain today!”

“Good heavens, this thunder wants to scare someone to death.”

“Damn it, it just thundered and the sky got dark so fast. Let’s hurry and leave; it looks like a heavy rain.”

“Holy crap! What divine beast is undergoing tribulation here!”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was even more frightened and flashed back to Qiao Sang’s head, its two paws tightly gripping her hair.

At this rate, I’ll be bald sooner or later. Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, only to see that the perfectly fine sky was suddenly squeezed by thick black clouds, giving a feeling that a storm was about to arrive.

“Ya Ya!”

“Lu.”

Xiao Xunbao and Ice Dew Qiya ran over.

Qiao Sang subconsciously looked at Ice Dew Qiya, only to see that its tail and ears were the same as usual, with no signs of growing larger.

Was the rain-sensing ability失效?

Qiao Sang didn’t think too much further, and with a wave of her hand, she put Xiao Xunbao and Ice Dew Qiya into the yu beast codex.

Since Xiao Xunbao liked to stay on her head, she let it stay there; it could even block the rain if it really came. Before the rain arrived, Qiao Sang took off running towards her accommodation.

“Qiao Sang!”

Just as she ran onto the corridor, a male voice sounded from behind, filled with surprise.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a boy whose bangs covered his eyes.

She was stunned for a moment.

Isn’t this the Child of Fortune?

“Qiao Sang, it’s great to meet you here. I’ve been looking for you for a long time.” Wu Chang ran over and tried to show a friendly smile.

Looking for me for a long time?

Qiao Sang suddenly felt something and turned to look at the sky outside the corridor.

The vast dark clouds were dissipating, and there was no longer any sign of a storm approaching.

Thanks to Baihua Zhichao for the reward, boss is generous!
