Chapter 646: On the Eve of the Competition (Part 2)

The next morning.

Hotel.

Room living room.

“Last night, Josang’s Netherworld Lord and Little Treasure Hunter appeared on the Never-Sleeping Pedestrian Street, causing a large crowd and a potential stampede. The police arrived immediately to manage the crowd, and no injuries were reported.” “

Currently, the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship is about to be held, and the number of tourists and pets in the entire region of Zhitia has surged, resulting in a high density of people and beasts. The authorities hereby issue an important safety reminder:

If you encounter famous beast tamers and pets in public places, do not crowd around them. If a crowd gathers and causes a disturbance, beast tamers with psychic or flying-type pets should leave immediately, and the rest of the public should immediately follow the instructions of security personnel…”

Just as the host was broadcasting the news, the scene of the Never-Sleeping Pedestrian Street last night appeared simultaneously in the upper right corner.

The street was crowded with people and pets, and everyone was cheering and screaming. In the center, two identical Netherworld Lords were in mid-air, one holding a flashlight and shining it, and the other waving its claws enthusiastically.

At the dining table, Qiao Sang held a piece of bread, staring at the screen in the upper right corner of the TV for a while. After a moment of silence, she finally couldn’t help but ask,

“Why did you have your stand-in hold a flashlight?”

“Qingqing, “

Qingbao called out first, indicating what else it could be doing. It must be because it was too dark and no one could see it, so it thought of using a light for itself.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao swallowed its energy meal, nodded, and readily admitted that was exactly right.

It was in a very good mood today. The white energy it absorbed last night made it acutely aware of its current popularity.

People and pets who liked it didn’t care that it was dark, so it didn’t care either.

Qingbao gave a “I knew it” look.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment again, then said,

“Why don’t you just go to a place with lights?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that the position was too low, and others would have a chance to bump into it.

Then, with a serious expression, it called out again,

“Xunxun~”

Fans and idols need to keep their distance to be more popular.

Qiao Sang’s lips twitched, and she asked,

“Who told you that?”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out.

She saw it online; it said many fans unfollowed their idols after getting close to them.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Little Xunbao spends too much time online…

Qiao Sang opened her mouth, about to say something, when Qingbao called out,

“Qingqing?”

What were you doing on the street last night? The competition is coming up, and you’re still out playing?

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao called out while eating its energy meal.

It wasn’t going out to play; it went out to absorb energy…

Hearing this, Qingbao’s eyes flashed with envy.

It also wished it could increase its energy so easily. If it could also increase its energy by being loved by fans, it could definitely evolve faster…

Unfortunately, it couldn’t. It searched its memory inheritance eight hundred times but still couldn’t find it…

Thinking of this, Qingbao angrily took a bite of the tree fruit.

As Michaela elegantly cut the meat on her plate, she said, “The competition is in a couple of days, so let’s keep Little Treasure away from the outside to avoid any accidents.”

“Did you hear me?” Josang asked, looking at Little Treasure.

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure was a little reluctant.

But absorbing energy through the dolls felt so slow.

“It won’t be slow once you win the competition,” Josang said.

After saying that, she thought of something and instructed, “When you win the competition, don’t just focus on interacting with the audience. Remember to quickly sense the dolls and absorb energy while you’re still on the field. At that time, you’ll absorb the most white energy.” “

Xunxun!”

Little Treasure’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

Michaela suddenly thought of something and said,

“Zhuang Le has come to the Zhitia region. He and his mentor wanted to meet you, but I refused.”

Zhuang Le was another Imperial Class student representing the Imperial Beast Taming Academy in the competition.

Qiao Sang only thought for 0.1 seconds before remembering who the other person was. Besides the fact that the other person was in the contestant information given by Jian Yin Suo Suo, she also remembered that she had traded with him on the school’s official website.

She remembered that he was still a big shot to her back then, but she didn’t expect that they would be

competing on the same stage so soon. “Aren’t you both representing the school? Why refuse?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

Michaela slowly took a sip of his drink and said,

“You are both representing the school, but in essence, you are still rivals. It’s better to avoid contact during the competition.”

Spray… Spraya glanced at its Beastmaster, thinking to itself, “It’s clearly this human mentor named Zhuang Le who wants to poach your students, that’s why you’re preventing them from meeting.” Spraya

thought to itself, but said nothing on the surface.

It supported its Beastmaster’s decision.

In the end, it’s still an individual battle… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

In the blink of an eye, the phone on the table vibrated.

Michaela glanced at the incoming call, picked it up and answered:

“Hello, okay, I understand.”

After saying that, it hung up the phone.

“Xia Bao’s energy pills are ready. Go to school and pick them up.” Michaela said, opening the navigation app and placing it in front of Penjami.

“They’re ready so quickly?” Josang was shocked.

He knew it had only been a day since he left the secret realm! Teacher Stein had left in the same amount of time!

“Xia Xia…”

Xia Bao looked up, equally shocked.

Michaela smiled:

“On other planets, the materials for making energy pills are rarer and harder to obtain, so the production speed is slower. But on Blue Star, there’s no such concern. And this time, Professor Yongen from the Nurturing Academy helped with the production; he must have put aside his own work to help, hence the high efficiency.”

As she spoke, Penjami’s eyes glowed blue, and she vanished from the spot.

Even so, the efficiency was incredible. After all, Xia Bao was a mythical beast, and there was no prior data on its physical characteristics. The formula for the energy pills definitely needed research… Truly worthy of being an honorary mentor at the Nurturing Academy… Qiao Sang said,

“When we go back to school, I feel we should thank Professor Yongen.”

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Bao nodded in agreement.

It also wanted to thank him.

Michaela laughed, “He should be thanking you. Making energy pills for magical beasts is something any breeder would dream of. Do you think he’s so eager to make them because you’re a student in the Imperial Class? He’s doing it because the target is Sharara.”

Just like how Imperial Class teachers choose students, students who normally enter need to meet certain strength and talent standards, as well as a strong background or connections, to receive instruction from Imperial Class teachers.

But if Qiao Sang wanted instruction from Imperial Class teachers, these old guys would fight tooth and nail to get in front of her for her to choose from.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang glanced at Xia Bao and smiled,

“If I were a breeder, I’d be happy to make energy pills for Xia Bao too.”

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Bao said shyly.

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xun Bao called out upon hearing its beast tamer’s words. What about me

? What about me?

Qiao Sang looked at it, “Of course I’d be happy to too.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao was delighted.

After its initial joy, it suddenly remembered the taste of the food its former Beastmaster used to make. The smile vanished instantly, and it called out seriously,

“Xunxun.”

“Xunxun.”

It felt the current energy pills were fine; there was no need to make new ones. “You need to prepare well for the competition and become a super-strong professional Beastmaster. You can’t waste time making energy pills for me.”

Just a moment ago it was thinking of having me make them, and now it’s complaining… Qiao Sang immediately saw through Little Xunbao’s thoughts.

“Gangquan?”

In a flash, Gangbao’s voice echoed in its mind.

Had Little Xunbao eaten your food before?

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Gangbao called out again,

“Gangquan?”

Did it think your food was bad?

Qiao Sang: “…”

At this moment, Penjamei appeared out of thin air, placed the bag in her paw on the table, and called out twice:

“Penpen.”

“Penpen.”

The human who made the energy pills said that there were two different kinds of energy pills here. The green energy pills were to be taken by Xia Bao three times a day in his normal form, morning, noon, and night. The brown energy pills were to be taken by Xia Bao three times a day in his battle form, morning, noon, and night. They could not be mixed together.

“Six meals a day?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but confirm.

Xia Bao’s face turned pale, and the flower bud on his neck trembled, looking frightened.

“Penpen.”

Penjamei nodded, then took out a metal round can from the bag and called out.

The human who made the energy pills said that this was for digestion. If Xia Bao was too full, he could eat one of these.

Michaela opened the jar, took out a brightly colored candy, and said,

“This is Shunqing Fruit Candy. It tastes sweet and sour, can aid digestion, and is good for the stomach. It’s very popular with pets. Professor Yongen is quite thoughtful.”

He then put the candy back into the jar.

“Xiaxia…”

Xia Bao looked miserable.

The thought of eating six meals a day made it not even want candy…

But it quickly realized something, its expression faltering for a moment before hardening.

The competition was about to begin, and Ya Bao was still asleep. It needed to get stronger quickly to compete!

Thinking this, it stretched out its paw towards Penjami and called out,

“Xiaxia.”

Give it to me.

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment: “You want to eat now?”

“Xiaxia.”

Xia Bao nodded.

“But…” Qiao Sang looked at the half-eaten energy meal on the plate and suggested, “You’ve already eaten a lot. Let’s start eating at noon.”

“Xiaxia.”

Xia Bao shook its head, calling out firmly, indicating it could eat.

Xia Bao… Qiao Sang recalled how it used to eat multiple energy pills a day, almost to the point of exhaustion, and then remembered its recent frantic training. A guess formed in her mind, and a slight stirring within her.

Just as she was feeling touched, Gang Bao’s voice echoed in her mind:

“Gang Quan.”

Why don’t you tell it that even if it eats a lot more energy pills, it’ll only be for show in the upcoming competition; it won’t win at all.

Qiao Sang was indignant: “How could you think of Xia Bao like that!”

“Gang Quan,”

Gang Bao replied speechlessly.

Isn’t that exactly what you think?

Qiao Sang: “…”

Penjia Mei glanced at Xia Bao, then looked towards the kitchen, her eyes glowing blue.

An empty plate flew onto the table.

Penjia Mei considerately poured a controlled amount of green energy pills into the plate, then used her telekinesis to place it in front of Xia Bao.

“Xia Xia,”

Xia Bao called gratefully, then looked at the energy pills in front of it, took a deep breath, and with a determined expression, stuffed them into its mouth.

…

The next day, after registering Xia Bao at the Beast Taming Center, Qiao Sang took Lu Bao and the others to the secret realm for training.

By the time they came out, it was already dark.

The competition is tomorrow… Qiao Sang looked up at the starry sky.

Just then, the phone rang. It was her mother. “

Mom?” Qiao Sang quickly answered, saying “Hello.”

“Xia Bao has evolved?” Ye Xiangting asked.

“Yes.” Qiao Sang countered, “Did you see the news?”

That morning, she had taken Xia Bao to the Beast Taming Center to register. They had barely stepped inside when

Xia Bao became a trending topic. Viewers of the Interstellar Beast Taming Championship came from all over the world, including Yan Tian Star. Although everyone didn’t know much about how Xia Bao evolved or what it ate, they had deduced its evolution from the limited information available and the different colors of the flower buds on its neck each time it appeared.

“Otherwise,” Ye Xiangting said quietly, “I only found out about you from the news.”

She couldn’t argue with that! Qiao Sang explained, “I’ve been training in the secret realm lately, so I haven’t been able to answer the phone or have much time to make calls.”

“I know,” Ye Xiangting said, “Of course, preparing for the competition is more important.”

After saying that, she started to ramble on:

“The competition opens tomorrow. Don’t be nervous, relax, just treat it like a normal competition. Sometimes, the more nervous you are, the more mistakes you’ll make. There are too many ghost-type pets in the Zhitia region. I heard that some ghost-type pets there will enter people’s dreams at night and give them nightmares.”

“Little Treasure Hunter doesn’t need to sleep, you can have it guard for you.”

“You went to the Zhitia region as soon as you came back, and you can’t even eat the food from your hometown. I’ll bring it to you when you compete. Has your taste changed? I remember you used to love braised bamboo shoots, sweet and sour pork ribs…”

Qiao Sang listened patiently without interrupting.

After her mother finished speaking, she said,

“Don’t buy the ticket. I’ll have Xiao Xunbao pick you up tomorrow.”

“How can that be?” Ye Xiangting refused without thinking.

“Xiao Xunbao also needs to prepare for the competition. How can it pick me up? I can go by myself.”

Qiao Sang said, “As long as there’s a location, Xiao Xunbao can get there in an instant.”

“That still won’t work.” Ye Xiangting refused again. “You guys prepare for the competition. You don’t need to pick me up, or I won’t come.”

Her mother had no idea how strong Xiao Xunbao’s spatial teleportation was, or that it didn’t consume much energy to use this move. She was just worried about delaying her competition… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, didn’t argue, and instead said,

“Then I’ll have Teacher’s Penjame pick you up.”

This time, Ye Xiangting didn’t refuse immediately, but hesitated and said, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“It’s not troublesome.” Qiao Sang said, “Penjame is an Emperor-level pet. Picking you up is a piece of cake.”

Hearing this, Ye Xiangting didn’t refuse and smiled,

“Okay, I’ll send you the location later.”
