Chapter 744: Is Lingwen waterproof (2-in-1)

The next day.

5:28 PM.

Yu Liandun University.

The ground floor lobby of a museum-like building.

At this moment, many students from different grades were gathered there, a dense crowd of several hundred people.

Qiao Sang and her female classmate walked into the white building together.

As soon as she entered, she noticed many people subtly sizing her up.

“There are so many people,” Qiao Sang said, holding Xiao Xunbao and looking around, a little surprised.

The number of people here far exceeded what a society should have.

Bavla explained, “Everyone should be here for the President of the Lingwen Academy. Usually, President-level figures rarely give lectures, and even public lectures cost a lot of points. This time is a free opportunity to see the President and hear him explain Spiritual Marks.”

Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, then said, “If you put it that way, I think there are too few people.”

After all, the tiered classroom where Dr. Dosalila lectured last time seemed to have over a hundred people.

It wasn’t because the time was changed again and again, plus this was actually an internal activity of the Lingwen Society, and nearly four-fifths of the people were probably brought in internally… Bavla thought to herself, then smiled on the surface:

“Perhaps everyone didn’t receive the news.”

Qiao Sang glanced at her:

“Why did you bring me here?”

Bavla’s expression stiffened, but quickly returned to normal: “Aren’t we classmates? Besides, your Steel Guardian Falcon…”

When she got to this point, she suddenly remembered that Qiao Sang’s Steel Guardian Falcon had already fully evolved, so she paused and changed the subject:

“What is your Steel Guardian Falcon called after its evolution?”

“Steel Slash Giant Falcon,” Qiao Sang said.

Bavla recalled the appearance of the Steel Slash Giant Falcon and sighed, “It is indeed quite giant…”

“By the way, has the Steel Slash Giant Falcon been registered?” Bavla asked.

Qiao Sang replied, “I registered it at the Yu Beast Center yesterday afternoon after school.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but feel a little tired.

When others registered their Pet’s information, at most, it only took some time to wait in line.

But when it was her turn, calling the leader, getting to the room, checking, calling people, re-checking, reporting… The whole process took nearly two hours, directly missing the Forging Worm’s home service time, and even making President Virginia of the News Academy wait for her for half a day.

So she really had something to do yesterday afternoon, and it wasn’t just an excuse to reject me… Bavla’s expression was slightly stunned.

At this moment, Qiao Sang asked:

“Why did you think of joining the Lingwen Society?”

Bavla quickly regained her composure and said, “Because Spiritual Marks are also a means to enhance Pets.”

I thought the same thing when I first drew Spiritual Marks… Qiao Sang glanced at her, inexplicably thinking of her past self.

The two chatted for a few more sentences.

Suddenly, the surrounding clamor rose like a tide.

“Everyone, quiet down!” A loud voice rang out.

In the slightly noisy hall, all eyes instantly turned to the same spot.

Qiao Sang looked towards the source of the loud voice.

The person speaking was standing on the stage, a man.

He had very short black hair with white at the temples, and his face showed traces of weathering, but his eyes were bright, and his build was tall and imposing, making him look very handsome.

A Dragon Country person… With just one glance, Qiao Sang felt that the other party should belong to the same country as her.

“Is he the President of the Lingwen Academy?” Qiao Sang asked, tilting her head.

Bavla hummed:

“He is President Li Dongdong.”

What a simple and unpretentious name… Qiao Sang looked at the man on the stage who exuded elegance in every gesture, feeling very surprised.

She really couldn’t connect that name with the person on the stage…

The President of the Lingwen Society on the stage spoke with a slightly excited expression:

“It is our Lingwen Society’s honor that President Li can attend our event this time…”

Li Dongdong waved his hand, interrupting the student’s flattery, and said:

“There’s no need for an opening speech. Let’s just start selecting someone to come up.”

“Okay…” The President of the Lingwen Society paused, then continued: “We will select a lucky person from those present to come up on stage, and President Li will personally draw a Spiritual Mark for them. The chosen person can make any request for the Spiritual Mark!”

“Afterward, you can also have dinner with President Li and discuss anything you want to know!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall instantly erupted.

They had some knowledge about President Li helping to draw Spiritual Marks, but they had no idea about having dinner and talking with President Li!

This was the President of the Royal Union Dun Lingwen Academy!

How could they be so fortunate as to have the opportunity to dine with him!

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the stage, looking astonished, excited, and invigorated.

And I have to have dinner with him… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

Ever since she understood why she kept encountering the Presidents of various academies, Qiao Sang knew that President Li Dongdong was coming for her.

Or rather, this event might have been organized because of her.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain to herself: why didn’t he just invite her to dinner directly, instead of making all this fuss…

Bavla’s expression was relatively calm compared to others.

As an insider who had accepted the task from the President of the Lingwen Society and invited Qiao Sang several times, she could roughly guess that this so-called lucky person was probably already internally designated as Qiao Sang.

“Regarding the lucky person, we will let the Lucky Guide choose,” the President of the Lingwen Society said, nodding towards a Pet beside him, which was about twenty centimeters in size, round-bodied, with a red pointer on its head, looking like a compass.

Lucky Guide… Relevant information appeared in Qiao Sang’s mind.

A Super Dormant Star Steel-type General-level Pet, said to be able to find the luckiest person within a certain range nearby…

At the same time, the Lucky Guide floated in the air, and the long and short pointers on its belly began to spin continuously.

Since I’m already internally designated, this Lucky Guide must be faking it, right… Qiao Sang’s expression suddenly became complicated.

She originally thought the big screen would just spin and lock onto her, but she didn’t expect them to make the Pet put on a show.

Not to mention, it really looked convincing…

“Point, point…”

The Lucky Guide closed its eyes, and the two pointers on its belly glowed faintly white, spinning continuously.

An invisible wave enveloped everyone in the hall.

After about half a minute, the red pointer on its head moved slightly.

“Point, point.”

The Lucky Guide opened its eyes.

At the same time, the red pointer pointed forward.

“It seems our lucky person has been chosen!” The President of the Lingwen Society announced loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction the Lucky Guide was pointing.

“That is, this student holding the Flame Qilu!”

It really is me… Qiao Sang’s expression was calm.

Truly, no surprise at all.

It really was her… Bavla pretended to be excited and cried out, “Ah! Qiao Sang! That’s great! You’re the lucky one!”

You’ve invited me so many times, I don’t believe you don’t know… Qiao Sang silently glared at her.

On the stage, President Li, seeing this, showed his first smile since arriving.

“It’s her, actually…”

“It’s unfair! Why do all the spotlights focus on one person!”

“I heard that some chosen ones are born with good fortune.”

“No, she’s from the Beast Taming Department and isn’t even in the Lingwen Society. Why is she here joining the fun?”

“That’s Qiao Sang…”

Everyone whispered among themselves, while consciously moving aside to make way.

Qiao Sang calmly walked through the crowd and onto the stage.

“What kind of Spiritual Mark do you want to draw?” President Li asked.

“I want to draw one that can increase my Pet’s comprehension,” Qiao Sang said.

“Which Pet? And increase which attribute’s comprehension?” President Li asked again.

“Ghost Ring King,” Qiao Sang said. “Increase Superpower System comprehension.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xunbao cooperatively appeared.

That’s right, it’s it!

President Li examined Xiao Xunbao and said:

“Alright.”

Saying that, he walked over to the long table on the stage.

It was already filled with various materials related to Spiritual Marks.

Everyone fell silent again.

Almost everyone present was either from the Lingwen Society or the Lingwen Academy, and they knew very well that drawing Spiritual Marks required absolute concentration and no disturbance.

Moreover, the person demonstrating the drawing of Spiritual Marks at this moment was the President of the Lingwen Academy; they didn’t want to miss a single second of the process.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao floated to President Li’s side, called out, indicating that it wanted the drawing to be pretty.

President Li beckoned:

“Come sit here.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao obediently floated over and stayed in the position he designated.

President Li poured various materials Qiao Sang didn’t recognize into a white porcelain bowl on the table, then stirred them at a steady speed.

Before long, the contents of the bowl mixed into a viscous, paste-like white substance.

He held the bowl in one hand and a brush in the other, came before Xiao Xunbao, dipped the white substance, and began to draw the Spiritual Mark with a serious expression.

There were hundreds of people present, yet not a single sound was made.

Qiao Sang was inexplicably infected by the atmosphere and unconsciously focused on President Li’s movements.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Ten minutes later, Xiao Xunbao couldn’t sit still and couldn’t help but shift its bottom.

“Don’t move,” President Li said with a serious expression.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao pouted, looking at its Yu Beast Master with a face full of grievance.

Qiao Sang mouthed silently: “Think about the computer…”

Xiao Xunbao understood, and its expression immediately changed, sitting up straight and still.

Line after line of white patterns connected harmoniously and regularly as President Li’s brush moved.

After another ten-odd minutes, President Li put down his brush and slowly exhaled: “Done.”

Looking at Xiao Xunbao again, its entire body was covered in mysterious white patterns.

Some people in the audience couldn’t help but pull out their phones and capture this scene.

…

Forty minutes later.

Yu Liandun University.

Yiwei Restaurant.

In the luxurious and splendid private room, well-dressed Pets placed exquisite dishes onto the table.

By the window, Xiao Xunbao held a black flower, admiring its reflection in the window.

“Do you have any questions about Spiritual Marks?” President Li asked.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “How long can the Spiritual Mark on the Ghost Ring King last?”

“One week,” President Li said with a smile. “But you can come to me after a week, and I’ll help you extend the duration of the Spiritual Mark.”

Here it comes, he’s about to try and poach me… Qiao Sang pretended to be flattered: “Really?”

“Of course it’s true,” President Li said gently. “From the moment you were pointed to by the Lucky Guide, I knew you had a connection with Spiritual Marks.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Are you interested in learning Spiritual Marks?” President Li immediately followed up.

Qiao Sang tactfully said, “I’m afraid I won’t have time.”

“Your brain domain has reached this level at 16 years old; your lifespan will definitely be long in the future, so how could you not have time?” President Li said dismissively.

Do you want me to be direct… Qiao Sang said, “I’m an exchange student, and I’ll be returning to Blue Star after this semester…”

President Li waved his hand, interrupting, “Learning Spiritual Marks doesn’t conflict with you returning to Blue Star.”

Ah? Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered, thinking, what’s going on? This is completely different from what she imagined he would say!

President Li said seriously:

“You can be listed under my name. When you return to Blue Star, you can ask me any questions about Spiritual Marks through the Star Net at any time.”

Those old guys were interested because Qiao Sang might have a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, but he purely felt that the other party had a talent for learning Spiritual Marks.

The field of Spiritual Marks itself places the most emphasis on the Yu Beast Master’s mental power.

And mental power is closely related to the brain domain.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Qiao Sang is the fastest brain domain developer he has ever seen.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant.

After all, once she went to Blue Star, he wouldn’t be able to control her at all, and it would be a question of whether she would even return to Super Dormant Star.

But then he thought, no matter which planet she was on, Qiao Sang was a Dragon Country person just like him, and he no longer hesitated.

High-level Yu Beast Masters have long lifespans. Even if they initially stick to one field, when they make no further progress for a long time in the later stages, they will spontaneously learn skills in another field.

In his opinion, Qiao Sang would eventually go through this stage.

What was important now was to cultivate her interest in Spiritual Marks.

This… President Li’s actions completely bewildered Qiao Sang.

So, she didn’t need to transfer to Yu Liandun University after all…

“You mean, I don’t need to attend Yu Liandun University to be listed under your name?” Qiao Sang confirmed.

“Of course,” President Li nodded, then added humorously, “Dragon Country people don’t lie to Dragon Country people.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Dragon Country person… Qiao Sang suddenly understood something, and her gaze towards President Li became more cordial:

“Can you give me some time to consider?”

“Yes,” President Li took out his phone and proactively said, “Let’s exchange contact information first.”

…

My damned talent, it actually made the President willing to go to such lengths for me… Qiao Sang watched President Li leave, then looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was covered in mysterious white patterns, and was about to speak.

“Ice Ai.”

At this moment, Lu Bao, who had been quiet in her backpack, poked its head out and called out, indicating that it also wanted a Spiritual Mark drawn on it.

Lu Bao had always been a neat freak, yet it was actually willing to have a Spiritual Mark drawn on its body… Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then readily said:

“Okay, I’ll take you to President Li then.”

Since President Li wants me to be listed under his name, he probably won’t refuse this matter…

“Ice Ai.”

Lu Bao flicked its two tails slightly in the backpack, then contentedly burrowed back inside.

Qiao Sang thought of something and looked down to ask:

“Xiao Xunbao, do you want one drawn?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao recalled the feeling of its Yu Beast Master drawing on its body before, and then thought of the humans saying that drawing Spiritual Marks could make them stronger. It struggled for a moment, then nodded with a determined expression.

Draw!

All of them need to be drawn… Qiao Sang took out her phone, opened a search engine, and typed:
