Chapter 2414: Chapter 375: Yuanzhuo University (Double Chapter)

Villa, open ground.

After hearing the words, Qiao Sang immediately had a target in mind: "Is it the other contestants participating in the master’s challenge?"

"It should be them," Mikaela said in a deep voice, "But the competition for the top 20 out of 40 hasn’t ended yet, and someone is here to monitor your movements..."

She looked over and asked, "Who do you think it could be among them?"

Qiao Sang thought for two seconds and said, "It should be those who are just now considering me as an opponent. I think Lafeid and Serana are the most likely, and between the two, Lafeid is more likely. After all, compared to them, he has more backing to send an Emperor-level Pet Beast to monitor."

Serana was born a commoner, while Lafeid has family support. In comparison, the latter is more likely to summon an Emperor-level Pet Beast.

"Possible," Mikaela said, "But I think there’s someone even more likely than him."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Who?"

"Gaston and Feng Fu," Mikaela named two people.

Information about these two suddenly flashed in Qiao Sang’s mind:

Gaston, 56 years old, Yuliandun University, Guardian Class student, owns four Emperor Level Pet Beasts. Feng Fu, 55 years old, Tianzhou University, Heavenly Class student, owns four Emperor Level Pet Beasts. They are the only ones from their respective schools still participating in the current master’s challenge.

Yuliandun University originally had another student named Ayoub in the competition, but he was eliminated in the previous round.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and realized, "I see, their teacher wants to come over to secretly observe your teaching methods, to see how to cultivate a student like me, then learn from it."

When Mikaela heard this, she put on a face that said, "You’re overthinking it," while saying, "That’s unlikely, teachers at schools of this level each have their unique teaching methods and won’t easily learn from others."

Inwardly, she felt secretly pleased.

"Could it be that they only now see me as an opponent?" Qiao Sang asked with a frown.

In her view, if they wanted to collect her information, they should have sent Pet Beasts earlier, not just now, after she had just shut out Xia Huo, that they sent an Emperor-level Pet Beast nearby.

Moreover, she remembered that in this round of competition, neither Gaston nor Feng Fu had yet competed. They should be more focused on their current opponents, so why suddenly think about monitoring her at this critical juncture?

"It’s not that they’re only now seeing you as an opponent; they already considered you as such, but now they see you more as an opportunity to make a name for themselves," Mikaela explained, "You’ve consecutively shut out two students from Flame Heaven University’s Flame Class. If they can beat you... actually, they probably don’t want to completely beat you. Just taking a small victory or two from you would be enough to prove they’re stronger than those from Flame Heaven University."

It’s not just about taking a small victory or two; otherwise, that would be too unambitious... Qiao Sang thought to herself and said:

"Haven’t they not even started this competition yet?"

Meaning that they don’t even know if they’ll advance in this competition; why are they thinking about facing me later?

"The ones likely monitoring you are probably their teachers," Mikaela said, "Their schools don’t have Pet Beasts with as strong intelligence-gathering abilities as Guilun Sai’er, so whenever they want to learn new information that they can’t collect, they come in person. Gaining more understanding of you doesn’t conflict with preparing for the upcoming match."

That makes sense... Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and quickly glanced in the direction of Shalala. Seeing that Shalala was still in the form of Fresh Bulrush, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she vigilantly checked her surroundings: "There shouldn’t be any Emperor-level Pet Beasts nearby now, right?"

"Pengpeng," Pen Jiami raised her paw.

"Except for you," Qiao Sang said.

Jiu Bugu silently emerged.

Qiao Sang twitched her mouth and said, "I meant any Emperor-level Pet Beasts here to monitor me."

Little Treasure Spirit and Qingbao cautiously looked around.

Even Tingbao, lying nearby, lifted its head and glanced around.

"We’ve talked so much just now; even if they were here, they’d likely have seized the opportunity to leave," Mikaela said while glancing at Pen Jiami.

Pen Jiami’s eyes silently turned blue.

Invisible sound waves spread out.

After a while, Pen Jiami’s eyes returned to their original color. She shook her head and called out:

"Pengpeng."

Shalala also retracted her gaze from the big tree and called out:

"Sha..."
