Chapter 350: Why does it look so familiar?

Hanggang City.

Inside a training room at the Dongpan Pet Beast Training Base.

“Principal, do we really have to keep the evolution of Guwei Flower a secret for now?” a slightly plump man in a black polo shirt asked, puzzled.

“Are we going to let Ding Yanjing keep using Shanli Crow in battles from now on?”

Huang Renbiao looked at Ding Yanjing and Shanli Crow, who were training in the center of the field, and did not answer directly. Instead, he slowly asked:

“Do you know Qiao Sang from Saint Water Middle School?”

“Of course I do.” The man nodded, “An Yan Ling Dog, a Treasure Hunting Fairy, and an endangered Pet Ice Dew Qiya. She’s the most prominent student in our province right now.”

Huang Renbiao added, “The most important thing is, she’s only 15 years old.”

The man was silent for two seconds.

These conditions, concentrated in one person, gave a sense of shock no matter how many times he heard them.

“But what does this have to do with keeping Guwei Flower’s evolution a secret?” the man asked.

Huang Renbiao said in a deep voice, “After every National Campus Pet Beast League provincial competition, some awards are given out. Someone told me that this time, the prize for the ‘Most Potential Award’ among the top three is a bottle of A-level potential enhancer.”

“I want Ding Yanjing to win this award and further improve his strength before going to the regional competition.”

A-level potential enhancer? The man was startled.

This item doesn’t improve a Pet’s level, nor does it elevate its life stage. Instead, it improves the Pet’s physique, allowing the Pet to break through its own limitations, expanding the range of energy it can originally withstand, thereby increasing its potential.

All items that can increase a Pet’s potential are sky-high prices, let alone an A-level potential enhancer.

The man hesitated for a moment, then bit the bullet and said, “With Qiao Sang from Saint Water Middle School, Ding Yanjing probably won’t get this award.”

Although Ding Yanjing’s potential was undeniable, anyone with eyes could tell who had stronger potential between Qiao Sang and Ding Yanjing.

Even as a teacher at Li Tan Royal Pet High School, he really couldn’t bring himself to say against his conscience that the award belonged to Ding Yanjing, given how obvious it was.

“I know.” Huang Renbiao said, “That’s why I asked you to keep it a secret for now. If no one knows about it, then when Ding Yanjing summons Guwei Sunflower, it will be even more shocking.”

“As long as he summons Guwei Sunflower for the first time when battling Qiao Sang and wins against her, with the visual impact and strength comparison, the people judging the awards will more or less lean towards Ding Yanjing.”

Actually, this alone was not enough. The most important thing was having someone at the top.

With the debut of a High-level Pet in the Zhehai Province competition of this National Campus Pet Beast League, this matter could then be brought up.

It was certain that Ding Yanjing, with his strength, would represent Zhehai Province in the regional competition. As a provincial leader, he naturally hoped that Ding Yanjing’s strength would be as strong as possible at this critical juncture.

Of course, Huang Renbiao would not speak such blunt truths.

Why go to all this trouble? Isn’t there a prerequisite for this award, that it’s only chosen from the top three in the provincial competition? Instead of doing all this, why not just make Qiao Sang stop outside the top three… The man originally wanted to speak his mind, but he opened his mouth, then swallowed the words back.

Uh, with Qiao Sang’s strength, it seems unlikely she would stop outside the top three in the provincial competition…

…

Qiao Sang naturally didn’t know that Li Tan Royal Pet High School hadn’t publicized the evolution of Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Flower because of her.

At this moment, she was feeling refreshed, humming a song, and browsing her phone for skills suitable for Ice Dew Qiya to learn.

As she browsed, she went to her school’s forum, searched for posts about the principal, and gave them a wave of likes.

As soon as she thought of the principal’s words, “You don’t have to worry about the money, the school will pay for it,” Qiao Sang felt his image was incredibly radiant.

Energy Pills for a High-level Pet, specially custom-made according to a formula and expedited! She had been worried that if Yan Ling Dog evolved, she wouldn’t be able to afford its cultivation for a while, but she never expected that she wouldn’t have to pay for it!

She also wondered if the principal would still help with the money if Little Qunbao and Ice Dew Qiya evolved… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grin and giggle foolishly at the thought of that scene.

She felt that her luck had been really good ever since she came to Hong Rao Town.

Although she was caught in a storm, she at least witnessed the legendary Illusion Beast Praying Luck La and the appearance of a Secret Realm Rift with her own eyes. Moreover, Little Qunbao inexplicdaibly learned Space Movement, and Yan Ling Dog also evolved.

Now, she didn’t even have to worry about the cost of Energy Pills after Yan Ling Dog’s evolution.

If Ice Dew Qiya also had a breakthrough here, it would be perfect… As Qiao Sang thought this, she didn’t realize that the surrounding air suddenly trembled slightly.

…

The group stage lasted for one week.

Unknowingly, Qiao Sang had already stayed in Hong Rao Town for 5 days.

Hong Rao Yu Beast Center.

Room 1203.

“Qiao Sang, tomorrow’s opponent includes Liu Zeru from Xiong Ding High School. Are you still sending out Ice Dew Qiya?” Xu Yixuan asked, lying on the bed with her head tilted.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “It depends on the situation.”

In the battles these past few days, Qiao Sang had sent out Ice Dew Qiya to quickly improve its combat ability.

But that was only when she was confident of winning.

Liu Zeru from Xiong Ding High School had two bear-type Pets, both of which were high-attack and high-defense. With Ice Dew Qiya’s current strength, she wasn’t 100% sure of winning.

Xu Yixuan smiled and suggested, “Why don’t you send out Liao Xing Hound? It’s definitely a sure win!”

“Dew.”

Ice Dew Qiya, who was trying to condense energy at a certain point on the table by the window, instantly gave a cold stare.

Feeling the cold air emanating from Ice Dew Qiya, Xu Yixuan quickly changed the subject:

“It seems the lottery drawing is at 9:30, right? Let me see if I won!”

With that, she got up, picked up the school uniform nearby, and pulled out a lottery ticket from her pocket.

Qiao Sang looked at her, surprised, “When did you buy a lottery ticket?”

“Just yesterday, after training in the evening, I went with He Datao.” Xu Yixuan held the lottery ticket, lay back on the bed, opened her phone, and replied while searching for the lottery official website:

“I originally wanted to ask if you wanted to come along, but the principal and Sun Teacher were next to you then, so I didn’t dare to ask.”

Actually, even if you had asked, I wouldn’t have gone. Ever since the principal paid for Yan Ling Dog’s Energy Pills, Qiao Sang felt her desire for money had significantly decreased.

Lottery?

Just an intelligence tax.

“Did you win?” Qiao Sang asked.

Xu Yixuan compared the lottery ticket with the numbers on the official website, then pouted, placed the lottery ticket on the nightstand, and said, “Didn’t win.”

As expected, Qiao Sang was not surprised at all.

“Oh, right, do you remember what I told you last time about someone in Hong Rao Town winning a one-year unlimited card?” Xu Yixuan suddenly asked.

Qiao Sang said, “I remember, what about it?”

Xu Yixuan sighed heavily and said, “I saw on the news today that no one has claimed that prize yet. Don’t you think it would be great if the winner didn’t want the prize and gave it to me?”

“How could it be given to you? They must have forgotten.” Qiao Sang retorted, “You might as well think about picking it up yourself, that’s more realistic.”

Xu Yixuan thought for a moment, felt it made sense, she got up, put on her school uniform and shoes, and smiled shyly: “I’m going out to buy something to eat, and I’ll see if I can pick it up along the way.”

After speaking, she turned and pushed open the door.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Just then, a gust of wind blew in from the newly opened door, causing the lottery ticket on the nightstand to be blown directly onto the face of Little Qunbao, who was training against a group of ants.

“Qun”

Little Qunbao used its paw to take the lottery ticket off its face, squinted at it, and then showed a puzzled expression.

“Qun?”

Huh, why does this thing look so familiar?
