Chapter 677: dark shadow

Qiao Sang typed a character, and the page jumped, quickly displaying related news.

“Shock! A Ghost-type Pet from Lanxing Discovered in the Morgue!”

Goodness, they know how to make a title… Qiao Sang looked at the video below.

She found it was from a surveillance angle, playing the clip of Xiao Xunbao using Space Movement on the negative first floor to take her and Doreen away in front of the “Xiao Nvhai.”

The text below also introduced the Ghost Ring Spirit.

Qiao Sang scrolled down and found many netizens commenting.

“Heh, a Ghost-type Pet with Space Movement? I laughed.”

“It truly is a Ghost-type Pet I’ve never seen before.”

“A High Level Ghost-type Pet? Isn’t its size a bit too small? It’s not even as good as my Pacing Pig.”

Xiao Xunbao was quite excited at first, but when it saw this comment, it couldn’t help but take a step back, covering its chest with its paw, showing a heartbroken expression.

Qiao Sang was still watching.

“Am I the only one who cares why this child is so terrifying?”

“It’s clearly possessed by a certain Ghost-type Pet.”

“Look at hot search # Chapter11, the man colluded with his lover to kill his two children, and this is one of the girls.”

Qiao Sang flipped back to the hot search interface but didn’t see any relevant news.

At this moment, Er’ma asked, “You were at the scene, did you see everything?”

Qiao Sang put down her phone and hummed in acknowledgment.

Er’ma cursed, “I didn’t expect there to be such scum in the First District. Thankfully, there was Undergrudge Yodo, otherwise these two scoundrels would have escaped.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang asked, “What happened to that woman afterward?”

Er’ma thought for a moment and said,

“The news said Undergrudge Yodo didn’t look for her, but the police arrested her that night.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, it seems those two children resented their father the most…

Er’ma couldn’t help but look at the Ghost Ring Spirit beside her, who had a hurt expression.

Others might not know, but she knew this Ghost-type Pet also had the Fighting-type skill Chop.

A Ghost-type Pet that knows Fighting-type skills and Superpower System skills, truly, abnormal…

Xiao Xunbao didn’t know that it had already been labeled “abnormal” in others’ minds.

It was still immersed in the blow of netizens saying its size was too small, so much so that its subsequent combat training was half-hearted.

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure noticed Xiao Xunbao was out of sorts and called out, indicating a pause.

Qiao Sang also saw the problem.

She stood still, taking the blows without moving, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao glanced at Steel Treasure and sighed deeply.

It indicated that as the second oldest, it was actually smaller than the fourth oldest…

Are you only just realizing this now… Qiao Sang organized her words and said,

“When you evolve, your size will become larger.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at its Yu Beast Master faintly; it had seen pictures of itself after evolution, and its size was not large at all.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Almost forgot about that…

Er’ma, who was nearby, joined the conversation: “What’s wrong with Ghost Ring Spirit?”

“Nothing,” Qiao Sang said. “It just thinks its size is too small.”

She understood Xiao Xunbao; things it considered a problem now would be fine in a few minutes, as it was quite open-minded.

Er’ma pondered for a moment and said,

“There’s a Ghost-type Pet skill called Dark Shadow, which can manifest an illusion ten or even a hundred times larger than itself. If you feel you’re not big and domineering enough, you can practice this move.”

Is this what they mean by not enough size, make up for it with skills… Qiao Sang smiled, wanting to say that the illusions created by this skill are all fake, at most putting visual pressure on the opponent, but the damage the opponent receives will not increase because of it.

“Xun!”

She opened her mouth, but before she could utter the first word, Xiao Xunbao beside her already had bright eyes and an excited expression.

It wants to learn this skill!

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Your most important task now is to train Dark Shadow Control and complete your evolution,” Qiao Sang said helplessly.

Xiao Xunbao always comes up with ideas on a whim, and she was genuinely afraid it would spend its time practicing Dark Shadow next.

Although the name of this skill sounds mighty and domineering, it’s not practical enough.

Xiao Xunbao’s opponents are all Pets of the same level as it. When it evolves to General-level, its opponents will also be General-level.

Most General-level Pets are around six meters in size. Even if Xiao Xunbao learns this move and conjures an illusion ten times larger than itself, what’s the use? In the opponent’s eyes, it would still be smaller.

Unless it trains to the later stages, where it can conjure a hundred-fold illusion.

But the further along it goes, as its level increases, the opponents’ sizes also grow larger. She genuinely felt this move would be useless for future competitions.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao clenched its paws into fists, placing them in front of its face, looking determined.

It will complete its training as soon as possible, then evolve, and then practice this move!

Qiao Sang: “…”

As long as you’re happy…

Xiao Xunbao now had a temporary training motivation, so Qiao Sang couldn’t say anything more about Dark Shadow being useless. She nodded calmly on the surface:

“I’m counting on you.”

“Xun!”

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words, Xiao Xunbao became even more elated. It seriously gestured to Steel Treasure with its short toes, indicating that training should continue.

“Steel Guard.”

Finally getting into the zone… Steel Treasure nodded, showing a barely perceptible look of satisfaction.

…

As the sun set, the white clouds in the sky were tinged with golden light.

Qiao Sang dragged her weary body back to the rented villa.

Upon entering, she didn’t see the black leather shoes at the entrance, so she knew the Vice Principal hadn’t returned yet.

Qiao Sang drank a bottle of fitness supplement and then took a bath with a strengthening potion.

The soreness quickly disappeared, followed by a comfortable sensation like soaking in a hot spring. At the same time, she felt as if her body was filled with boundless energy, even more exaggerated than the feeling of being subjected to Healing Light.

Has the first stage of training been completed… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but wonder.

After soaking for a while longer, she got up, dried herself, put on her pajamas, and went to her room to pick up her phone, wanting to ask her coach about the specific feelings after completing the first stage.

But just then, she saw Xiao Xunbao in front of the computer, typing away rapidly.

Holy moly! It can play games now?

Qiao Sang was stunned at first, then lightened her steps and walked behind Xiao Xunbao.

She saw Xiao Xunbao using the 3D mode of Dark Shadow Control to type a reply under a certain comment:

“Ghost Ring Spirit will become very big in the future!”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“You can type?!” After the initial shock, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was startled and turned its head, making a “just a little bit” gesture.

It felt a little flustered.

Many people in TV dramas who go to school use computers usually. If it knows how to, will it be told to go to school later too…

A genius!

This is a genius!

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao with shining eyes, just about to praise it profusely.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang steadied her excited emotions, picked up the phone, and seeing it was a number from Lanxing, chose to answer:

“Hello?”

“Hello, I’m a teacher from the Imperial Beast Academy’s admissions office. May I speak with Qiao Sang?” A mature female voice sounded.

A teacher from the Imperial Beast Academy’s admissions office? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, “This is she.”

“Are you currently in front of your computer?” the other party asked.

Qiao Sang glanced at the computer screen and said, “I happen to be in front of my computer.”

“Okay, please don’t close your computer. The transfer documents for Yu Liandun University have been processed, and I’m sending them to you now. Please receive them, and then you can directly submit the file to Yu Liandun University.”

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the computer screen in front of her suddenly went black.

Then, circles of ripples appeared in the center of the screen.

A complex mechanical claw, with a black iron luster, extended from within, presenting a sealed file.

Having witnessed this method of transmission once before, Qiao Sang was much calmer this time. She reached out and took it.

The mechanical claw tried to retract.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

But just as it was retracting halfway, Xiao Xunbao grabbed the mechanical claw and curiously squeezed it.

The mechanical claw seemed a bit bewildered, stiffening there.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “Xiao Xunbao, let go quickly.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao reluctantly released its grip.

The mechanical claw seemed to sense something and quickly retracted, as if afraid it would be held again if it delayed.

After the mechanical claw retracted, the screen quickly returned to normal.

“Have you received it?” the other party asked.

“I’ve received it,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the file in her hand.

“Good, I wish you a wonderful holiday,” the other party said with a smile, then hung up the phone.
