Chapter 667: Negative Energy Collection Contest (2-in-1)

After completing her card registration, Qiao Sang returned to the newly rented villa, immediately summoned her Pet, and then took a bottle of fitness supplement.

Uh, it didn’t taste very good… Qiao Sang felt a little, and found that the flesh under her skin seemed to be twitching.

At this moment, she suddenly realized a very serious problem.

If she continued training like this, wouldn’t she be covered in muscles?

Qiao Sang imagined herself with eight-pack abs, plus upper and lower limb muscles, and couldn’t help but shiver.

She pulled out her phone and immediately sent a message to the coach who had just trained her:

“If I train like this, will I have an eight-pack?”

The other party didn’t reply immediately.

Qiao Sang scrolled through her phone and found that the Vice Principal had sent her three messages.

“I just woke up.”

“First District? You’re already in the First District?”

“I should be there in about ten days.”

About ten days, that feels so fast… Qiao Sang typed and sent:

“Yes, I just rented a room here today.”

The Vice Principal replied instantly:

“I heard that Super Dormant Star’s First District is the most prosperous, with many competitions suitable for Superpower System Pets. Your Liao Xing Hound and Ghost Ring Spirit both have Superpower System attributes, you can take them to see. There are many ways to use Superpower System skills, you can learn from them.”

Superpower System skills? Qiao Sang thought for a moment and felt that if there was an opportunity, she could go and see.

Although her Pet was clearly more fire-type now, precisely because of this, skills of other attributes could often be used as surprise moves, just like Xiao Xunbao’s Chop.

As for Xiao Xunbao, its attention was now basically on electronic products. Some competitive games similar to entertainment might be able to shift its attention.

“San You Mu: I understand.”

After Qiao Sang sent the message, she suddenly thought of something, looked up, and focused on the words “Liao Xing Hound” sent by the Vice Principal.

Uh, she seemed to have forgotten to tell the Vice Principal about her Pet’s evolution…

Qiao Sang reflected for a moment and began to type:

“San You Mu: Vice Principal, I want to tell you something.”

“Vice Principal: What?”

“San You Mu: My Liao Xing Hound has evolved.”

“Vice Principal: ???”

Qiao Sang was about to type, when the next second, the other side sent several messages consecutively.

“Vice Principal: Is Super Dormant Star celebrating some festival today?”

“Vice Principal: Or are you playing some game now?”

“Vice Principal: You’ve become much more humorous after some time apart.”

“Vice Principal:… Are you serious about what you just said?”

Liu Yao was staring intently at his phone screen at this moment.

Reason told him that it was simply impossible for a High-level Pet to evolve into a General-level Pet within half a year, let alone a completely new form, whose next stage of evolution was still unknown.

But the person who said this was Qiao Sang.

She was that genius Yu Beast Master who could not be understood by common sense.

This made him involuntarily waver deep down.

What if it’s true… Just as various thoughts popped into Liu Yao’s mind, Qiao Sang took a picture of her Pet’s current appearance and sent it over.

The chat interface instantly fell silent.

Two minutes later.

“San You Mu: This is what Liao Xing Hound looks like after evolving. I’ve registered all the information at the Yu Beast Center. Its name is Flame Qilu, and the Pet Identifier should be able to find it now.”

“San You Mu: Vice Principal?”

“San You Mu: ?”

Strange, why isn’t he responding… Could it be that the starship passed through some area and the signal is bad… Qiao Sang exited the chat interface with the Vice Principal, and just as she was about to contact the coach again, she suddenly saw everyone in the “Holy Water High School (1) Class Group” talking about the final exam.

“He Jue Ming: I didn’t do well this time, ranked 11th in my grade.”

“Zhou Zhizhi: Me too, I didn’t even get a perfect score in Pets and Nature this time.”

“Chen Ya: Don’t talk about it, how am I supposed to live with my 29th place in the grade?”

“Gu Fei: It’s still better to be a special talent student, like Wang Jihang, who ranked 233rd in his grade, and his dad actually wants to reward him with a trip to another region.”

“Wang Jihang: Special talent students are the most miserable, okay! He’s taking me to another region because he wants me to familiarize myself with Pets from other regions, just to prepare for future competitions, not simply to have fun.”

While they were chatting, Qiao Sang interjected:

“I also think special talent students are quite miserable. Most of their time is spent on training, and their grades can’t keep up. Sometimes I don’t even understand the lessons.”

The group instantly fell silent, as if everyone had been muted.

Alas, we’ve really grown distant. As soon as I pop up, no one talks anymore… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

At this moment, people in the group suddenly started popping up one after another, as if spamming, all @-ing her.

“Wang Jihang: @Qiao Sang (link)”

“Chen Ya: @Qiao Sang (link), (image)”

“Zhou Zhizhi: @Qiao Sang, is what’s in the news true?”

“Jin Feifan: @Qiao Sang, is that photo on your Moments real? It’s trending now.”

“Lu You: @Qiao Sang, be a human being!”

“Wang Jihang: Be a human being + 1”

“He Jue Ming: Be a human being + 2”

Moments photo? Trending? Qiao Sang was a bit confused and clicked on one of the links, finding it was a news report about her being admitted to the Imperial Beast Academy.

The specific content stated that Ms. Ye, to celebrate her daughter’s admission to the Imperial Beast Academy, the top university ranked first on Blue Star, held a seven-day banquet, inviting everyone to dine. It was free for anyone who came to eat.

It also included a photo of Ms. Ye smiling brightly at the camera.

Finally, the news concluded with: “The truthfulness of Ms. Ye’s statements remains unclear.”

Mom… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched as she looked at the photo in the news.

She looked at her classmates who were still constantly spamming her to “be a human being” and felt a bit innocent. She hadn’t said anything wrong; she really sometimes didn’t understand the lessons… Qiao Sang sighed, closed the chat group, and decided not to incur everyone’s hatred.

Just then, the coach sent a message:

“My training method will only strengthen your tendons and bones from deep within. You are not doing strength training, so you won’t grow such exaggerated muscles.”

Qiao Sang felt relieved when she saw this sentence. She then turned off her phone, went to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, and poured in the strengthening potion.

…

For the next week, Qiao Sang went to the club for training every day.

After a week of being beaten, her defense improved by leaps and bounds, able to withstand a punch of 110 kilograms without suffering too serious injuries.

The healing-type Pets prepared at the club were not even needed. Lu Bao helped her cast Healing Light every day, leaving no injuries whatsoever.

In Er’ma’s words: “I didn’t expect you to have such a talent for impact resistance (being able to take a beating).”

Although Qiao Sang felt a bit strange hearing it, she accepted it happily, as she came here precisely to train her defense.

During this period, the application for the miniature shrinking bracelet was approved, but it was a pre-order, and they would only be sent out uniformly when they went on sale half a month later.

This day, Qiao Sang returned home after training and summoned her Pet.

“Ya Ya…”

As soon as her Pet came out, it walked to the extra-large full-length mirror that had been specially ordered two days ago, looking at its majestic and dominant image with not much enthusiasm.

Qiao Sang was not surprised.

Her Pet was fine when she first went out to enter the yu beast codex, but as time went on, it became a bit depressed.

Now, her Pet only felt better when it saw its new form.

Qiao Sang drank a bottle of fitness supplement and sat down on the sofa.

She pulled out her phone, preparing to search for the competitive entertainment games mentioned by the Vice Principal.

With her Pet’s current size, it was easy to accidentally hurt someone if it appeared on the street. However, if there was a place specifically for Yu Beast Master competitions, she wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Her Pet hadn’t appeared much outside recently, and it was time to let it get some activity…

Qiao Sang logged into an app called “First District Competition Talk” and scrolled down, looking at each one.

“Fighting-type Pet Extreme Strength Challenge”

“D-level Beastmaster Group Battle Tournament”

“Water-type Pet Treasure Hunt Competition”

“B-level Beast Tamer Championship”

“C-level Beastmaster Grand Contest”

“Yu Beast Master Translation Competition”

“D-level Beastmaster Card Draw Competition”

Why isn’t there any competition specifically for Superpower System Pets, as the Vice Principal mentioned… Qiao Sang thought helplessly.

This software only published the events that would be held in the First District in the coming week. If it wasn’t there, then there wasn’t such a competition.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang’s gaze stopped on the name of a certain event.

“Ghost-type Pet Negative Energy Collection Competition”

There’s even a competition like this… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. She clicked in and read the content.

She quickly scanned it. The competition time was three days later, Pet level was unlimited, each Yu Beast Master would be given an emotional energy collection bottle, with three hours of collection time. The top three could keep the emotional energy collection bottle and also receive an emotional energy display.

Qiao Sang had heard of this item. It was said to mainly detect whether a person’s current emotion was positive or negative.

Green light for positive, red light for negative.

It was specially used for Ghost-type Pets that were not sensitive to emotional energy.

Qiao Sang didn’t really need this prize, but she was very interested in this competition.

After all, Xiao Xunbao had absorbed emotional energy back then, causing its energy to directly increase to the late stage of the High Level phase.

Qiao Sang confirmed the competition details and paid the 1000 alliance coins registration fee.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao floated over, pointed at the computer on the table, indicating it wanted to play.

“No.” Qiao Sang mercilessly refused: “You need to practice Dark Shadow Control 300 times a day, and you haven’t finished today’s yet.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao extended its two claws, showing a pitiful expression.

But it had just cast Chop for a long time, and it was so tired.

Qiao Sang glanced at its claws: “If you’re tired, I’ll let Lu Bao cast Healing Light for you.”

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao sighed, drooping its head, preparing to resign itself to completing the training first.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang sighed and said:

“In three days, there’s a negative emotional energy collection competition. If you get into the top three, I’ll let you rest for a day.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. It turned its head and looked at its Yu Beast Master with a “really?” expression.

“Of course it’s real.” Qiao Sang smiled.

The Vice Principal should arrive on the day the competition ends. They need to discuss her Pet’s matter, and she wouldn’t have time to continue training at the club that day either.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao was happy to hear that. It floated off excitedly to train.

…

Three days passed in a flash.

Other people’s mornings were awakened by alarm clocks, but Qiao Sang’s morning was awakened by Xiao Xunbao pinching her nose until she couldn’t breathe.

Qiao Sang opened her eyes, speechless.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao happily floated around once, indicating that it was ready and could go to the competition.

“The competition starts at 1 PM, it’s still early.” Qiao Sang said, pulling the blanket over her head.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao tried to pull the blanket to continue waking its Yu Beast Master.

It doesn’t matter if it hasn’t started yet, they can set off early to scout out where there’s more negative emotional energy.

If you had this much enthusiasm for your usual training, Dark Shadow Control would have reached the peak of its Profound Meaning long ago… Qiao Sang complained in her heart, covered by the blanket, and said:

“I’ll sleep a little longer.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Qiao Sang hiding under the blanket and shook its head with a sigh.

Its Yu Beast Master was really too lazy.

…

At 12 PM, after lunch, Qiao Sang rode Steel Treasure and followed the navigation to a place called Auguswood Tournament Arena.

After confirming her information with the Staff, Qiao Sang stepped inside.

As soon as she entered, she was a bit surprised.

Inside, it was extremely luxurious, with Pet sculptures all around and huge crystal chandeliers on the ceiling reflecting each other.

In front of the main hall, a towering, huge virtual screen was particularly striking.

Most importantly, the hall, which seemed capable of holding thousands of people, was now full of spectators!

Qiao Sang scanned the hall with a bewildered expression, thinking, “What the hell? Judging by this setup, are they going to compete in collecting negative emotional energy on the spot?”

At this moment, an impatient voice came from behind:

“Excuse me, don’t block the way.”

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, with blond hair, white at his temples, and wrinkles on his forehead, nasolabial folds, and crow’s feet.

Although the other party’s attitude was a bit rude, Qiao Sang, adhering to the idea of yielding to elders, moved to the side.

The middle-aged man was about to move forward, but he suddenly stopped as if he had seen something, and let out a light “hmm.”

Qiao Sang followed his gaze, and her heart tightened.

Because his gaze was currently fixed on Xiao Xunbao’s location.

And Xiao Xunbao was currently invisible.

Could this person have seen Xiao Xunbao… Impossible, impossible, Xiao Xunbao is clearly invisible now… Just as Qiao Sang’s thoughts were in disarray, the middle-aged man looked over with his slightly cloudy eyes:

“Is this your Pet?”

Holy cow! He can really see Xiao Xunbao! Qiao Sang was startled.

She silently retreated, putting some distance between herself and the other party, and asked, feigning confusion:

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m asking if this gray Pet with golden rings on its body is yours?” The middle-aged man’s tone was much better.

Qiao Sang retorted:

“You can see it?”

The middle-aged man smiled upon hearing this:

“Didn’t your elders tell you? Yu Beast Masters with Ghost-type Pets, when they reach a certain level of back-feeding in the later stages, can see things that ordinary people cannot.”

“For example, invisible Ghost-type Pets.”

PS: Thanks to Boss Leng Huan Zi for the reward!
