Chapter 230: Chapter 218 Exposed
“I didn’t expect this kid to come up too, looks like the spot isn’t gonna be ours.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
“I’ve already given up, anyone’s fine as long as they can win.”
The person beside didn’t say anything anymore.
Indeed, everyone thought whoever got on the school team first would secure the spot.
But after a full 49 matches, all who went up were from their senior year and not a single one had won.
The numbers could have formed a class…
In the upcoming year, their senior year students could probably never raise their heads in front of their juniors again.
Now it doesn’t matter who goes up, as long as they can win, anything goes.
“Xue Chuhua should be fine, right?” a student hesitantly said at this moment.
“Of course, although Xue Chuhua seems a bit pretentious, his strength speaks for itself. Haven’t you forgotten? He was once on the school team.”
Xue Chuhua, from senior year (9) class, had gotten into Shengshui Middle School with the status of a specially recruited student, and he was selected for the school team before the start of his freshman year. During the power demonstration at the opening ceremony, he successfully gained everyone’s recognition.
However, he chose to leave the team after participating in a national school Beast Taming competition.
The reason he gave was that he thought there was no chance to win over Li Tang for the first place in the province, and since he couldn’t secure the chance to test into top-tier schools, he might as well focus on his studies to enter a top-tier school through the college entrance examination.
This sort of action, which discouraged others and dampened his own prestige, was met with scorn from almost the entire school at the time.
But there were also some who understood, saying that cutting losses in time is a choice of the wise.
High school only lasts three years, and every day is precious. If the target is a top-tier school, but one can’t secure first place in the provincial school competitions, there’s no chance of even testing for it, so it might be better to find a new path sooner rather than later.
A new path was indeed chosen, but it turned out to be a narrow one.
This guy had no clear understanding of his academic performance.
To get into a top-tier school, one’s grades had to be at least within the top 15 of the entire school to be safe, but he scored beyond the 400th rank in every exam.
With such grades, unless something unexpected happened, there was a 99% chance he’d have no connection with a top-tier school.
Going up now, he’s probably regretting leaving the school team.
…
Everyone guessed right, Xue Chuhua was regretting it so much it hurt.
But he was once a notable figure, after all. With so many in the school watching, how could he show his feelings in front of everyone!
Heaven knows how he held it in until now to step up.
Xue Chuhua pretended to be nonchalant, took his hand out of his pocket, and spoke in a casual tone an extraordinarily arrogant phrase:
“I didn’t want to come up, but your Treasure-seeking Ghost has piqued my interest. It’s just too bad that your winning streak will have to end here.”
As soon as these words were spoken, cheers erupted in the hall, all from the seniors.
“Xue Chuhua! Xue Chuhua!”
“Xue Chuhua! Xue Chuhua!”
The freshmen weren’t willing to be outdone.
“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”
“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”
Xue Chuhua gestured for quiet with his hand, and everyone respectfully quieted down.
“Damn, this guy’s putting on airs, so irritating,” a student from the senior zone complained.
“Who cares, as long as he wins.”
“That’s true.”
Although his opponent looked somewhat juvenile, Qiao Sang was not careless.
Seeing that Xiao Xunbao had won so many matches in a row and still threw out tough talk, he must not be an ordinary person.
The battle began, and Xue Chuhua made hand seals.
In the next moment, a grey Star Array lit up on the ground, the ground shook slightly, and a strong wind gusted out from the center of the Pet Beast that appeared in the Star Array.
Seeing the Pet Beast, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.
The Pet Beast in front of him was tall, nearly three meters in height, with a redbrown hue covering most of its body and a white underbelly. Its entirely fat-composed torso and doughy eyes exuding puzzlement gave it a slightly dumbfounded appearance, almost like a simpleton.
Well now, it was actually a Clumsy Devouring Bear.
The Clumsy Devouring Bear, generally a mid-level Pet Beast, was as its name suggested: both clumsy and gluttonous. Usually dopey, it became even dumber when full.
As long as it was well-fed, it would just lie there too lazy to even move a claw. At such times, someone could dance on its belly and it wouldn’t bother to care.
Due to its massive size, it possessed formidable destructive power. And because its body was primarily fat, it also had impressive defense, making it quite famous among mid-level Pet Beasts.
But even with exceptional combat abilities, most people would not consider binding a contract with it.
The fundamental reason was—they couldn’t afford to keep it…
Experts often mentioned that unless one’s family owned a mine, they wouldn’t recommend Beast Tamers to contract with a Clumsy Devouring Bear.
Renowned as a king of gluttony, it needed to consume nearly a hundred pounds of food every day.
At the mid-level stage, its appetite was already terrifying. After evolving into a High Level Pet Beast, its food consumption could bankrupt a regular family in minutes.
Rich folks…
Qiao Sang gained a new perspective on the somewhat ridiculous upperclassman before him.
Xiao Xunbao had been competing for a while and was already tired. Although it had replenished its energy and body, its passion for battle was almost gone.
At the sound of the whistle, its eyes quickly flashed blue, trying to use Psychic Control to take down its opponent in a quick fight.
However, the Clumsy Devouring Bear didn’t move an inch.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao looked shocked, encountering this kind of situation for the first time.
Caught off guard, Qiao Sang spoke up, “Control its foot.”
The size of the Clumsy Devouring Bear was too massive, and although Xiao Xunbao’s Telekinesis was fully matured, it was, after all, a lower-level Pet Beast with limited internal energy.
Controlling the entire Clumsy Devouring Bear with Telekinesis was quite difficult; it was easier to focus on a specific part.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao quickly focused on the Clumsy Devouring Bear’s left foot.
“Spendthrift, Shadow Ball,” Xue Chuhua said leisurely.
“Shi shi.”
Although the Clumsy Devouring Bear looked a bit dumb, its actions weren’t slow. Opening its mouth, it fired a black Shadow Ball, infused with tremendous energy and about the size of Xiao Xunbao.
Due to the significant size difference, Xiao Xunbao’s Telekinesis couldn’t move the Clumsy Devouring Bear’s foot in time, allowing the bear’s Shadow Ball to strike first.
Xiao Xunbao had to abandon control and used Teleportation to dodge.
“Bang!”
The Shadow Ball exploded mid-air, creating a loud noise.
Amid the explosion’s sound, Xiao Xunbao vanished from sight.
Watching the situation unfold in the arena, the crowd began to discuss it.
“It’s gone invisible again, how’s it going to manage now?”
“With such a huge body and slow movement, against a Treasure-seeking Ghost that can appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, isn’t the Clumsy Devouring Bear just a target?”
“Even if it’s a target, what’s the use? The Clumsy Devouring Bear is famously tough; I bet attacks don’t even hurt it much.”
“That’s true.”
Invisibility, huh… Xue Chuhua’s mouth curled up, and she called out loudly, “Unveil!”
“Shi shi.”
The Clumsy Devouring Bear’s round eyes snapped open, turning into a sinister red.
Qiao Sang’s expression became serious.
Unveil—it could plunge the target into a state of being revealed, allowing the user to see Spectral-type Pets that had turned invisible. Within the skill class for reconnaissance, it was practically the bane of the Spectral Series.
