Chapter 623: Chapter 564: A Great Way to Quickly Accumulate Points

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Spectral-type Pet that was about the same size as most Beginner Stage Pet Beasts, never expecting that this Pet Beast would have both Spatial Movement and Shadow Control—two highly difficult skills within both the Psychic Series and the Spectral Series!

Furthermore, the Shadow Control skill had even reached a Three-Dimensional mode!

Seconds later, a hubbub arose in the spectator stands, with discussions breaking out everywhere.

"Asher was completely suppressed throughout the match, that Spectral-type Pet is terrifying—it controlled both Lubao and the opposing Psychic-type Pet without any effort!"

"This isn’t the level of battle you’d expect to see in a high school."

"It feels like Qiao Sang knew from the start that her opponent was Asher, she barely gave any commands, and her two Pet Beasts knew exactly how to deal with Lubao and the opponent’s Psychic-type Pet’s charm."

"I saw it too, when Lubao and the Psychic-type Pet used their charm skills, Little Steel Falcon closed its eyes, and the Spectral-type Pet knew to move the Psychic-type Pet to block Lubao’s charm. I definitely wouldn’t believe this wasn’t pre-arranged."

"Exactly, or else the Little Steel Falcon would never close its eyes to resist the charm, not with so many dangers without sight—both Lubao and the Psychic-type Pet are Psychic Series Pet Beasts and are both a level higher. They could have taken it down in the second it closed its eyes. It must have trusted the Spectral-type Pet to act correctly to close its eyes."

"I think Little Steel Falcon also knew which Psychic-type Pet the Spectral-type Pet would move. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have shut its eyes. It was avoiding the charm cast by the Psychic-type Pet. You see, later, even the charm cast at close range by Lubao was useless against it—it knew the effects of charm and that the Psychic-type Pet was a different gender from itself."

"Oh, my gosh, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of all that. My attention was completely on the Spectral-type Pet Beast!"

"We can only say that Qiao Sang is far beyond her peers. She should be competing with older people, not appearing here."

"You’re right, no matter if there’s a core tactical system, what good is it if there’s such a huge gap in individual strength among the Pet Beasts? Just one Shadow Control move from that Spectral-type Pet and they couldn’t move at all, they could only stand still like targets."

The few from Sainan High School were elated, but then they realized that Qiao Sang could also become their next opponent, they immediately deflated.

"It seems there’s no suspense about who the champion will be this time," the African-American young man sitting next to Magee remarked.

Magee restrained his smile and humbly said,

"How could that be, Qiao Sang just has more Pet Beasts, and everyone is still unfamiliar with some of their skills and strengths. Now that all her Pet Beasts have made an appearance, everyone will be prepared, and Qiao Sang won’t win as easily anymore."

The African-American young man glanced at him quietly.

This guy said that Qiao Sang wouldn’t win as easily, not that she wouldn’t win.

...

At 7 p.m.,

After declining several dinner invitations, Qiao Sang returned to the hotel.

After reading a book for about ten minutes at the table, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and turned to Gangbao, asking,

"What’s wrong?"

Since the end of today’s match, she had noticed that Gangbao was unusually silent. Although it was usually quite quiet, today’s silence felt a bit off.

Gangbao, who was in the midst of feeding chili peppers to Chanchan Stone in silence, paused, looked up, and calmly vocalized to indicate nothing was wrong, only feeling itself too weak.

Qiao Sang: "???"

Didn’t we win the match?

"Do you feel like it was all Xiao Xunbao controlling, and you did nothing but attack?" Qiao Sang probed.

Gangbao, feeling its thoughts hit the nail on the head, silently nodded.

Isn’t that unavoidable? The opponents are two Psychic Series Pet Beasts, both capable of Teleportation. Without Xiao Xunbao’s direct control, you would be unable to dodge their attacks just by moving... Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and said,

"Don’t think like that. If they hadn’t decided to focus their attacks on you first, Xiao Xunbao wouldn’t have been able to control them so smoothly."

"Gangbao..."

Gangbao glanced at his own Beast Tamer.

It understood that the strategy was to focus on attacking the weaker one first.

Qiao Sang, "..."

How do you trick a Pet Beast that’s too smart? Urgently waiting online... Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly, "You’re still just a Beginner, and your opponents are all a level higher than you. Xiao Xunbao is two levels higher than you. Being able to cooperate with Xiao Xunbao in the competition so tacitly is already quite good. Once you evolve later on, you will become stronger."

"Gangbao."

Gangbao nodded to show it understood, and then turned to continue feeding the stones spicy peppers.

Qiao Sang sighed silently.

She felt that Gangbao was much more mature than Yaobao and the others; it knew how to communicate when something was wrong, but wouldn’t completely open up.

It was like when a mother sensed that something was off when her child returned from school, asked what was wrong, and after the child hesitated for a moment, they would tell her the issue. The mother would offer a word or two of comfort, and whether or not it was of any use, the child would nod, indicating they understood, and bring the topic to a close. But whether the issue was truly past, only the child knew deep down.

Lubao, although not explicitly stating some things, would express its dissatisfaction directly through a series of actions like emitting cold air or spraying water jets.

For some reason, Qiao Sang found it hard to focus on her book. She pondered for a bit, then leaned on the desk, closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the Beast Taming Codex.

The pages turned quickly to Ganbao’s entry.

[Name: Little Steel Falcon]

[Attributes: Steel, Flying]

[Level: Beginner (815/1000)+]

Qiao Sang shifted her gaze down towards the last line.

[Points: 286]

286?! It was just 126 yesterday, and today it’s 286? Today’s team battle gave Gangbao a direct increase of 160 points... Qiao Sang’s heart thudded wildly.

She suddenly realized she had forgotten an excellent way to quickly farm points!

From past experience, she knew that defeating Pet Beasts a level higher than oneself earned much more points than defeating those of the same level. However, not all victories against same-level Pet Beasts yielded the same amount of points.

The stronger the Pet Beast of the same level, the more points one would receive after defeating it.

The existence of team battles could allow Gangbao to defeat Pet Beasts much stronger than itself, even those at higher levels.

Previously, she had only tried letting Yaobao and the others defeat Pet Beasts one level higher than themselves in competitions. But what if they could defeat ones two levels higher?

Of course, it was unlikely with Yaobao and the others at their current levels, but Gangbao could definitely give it a try!

She remembered how Yaobao, in the Beginner Stage, had managed to deliver the last blow to defeat the Thunderclaw Bird and obtained a whopping 930 points in one go!

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the brighter her eyes shone. Her gaze travelled upwards, pausing on the first Skill.

[Iron Wall (Mastery 476/500)+]

To achieve a perfect evolution, one must master a defense Skill at the Small Achievement level during the Beginner Stage. In one more day, Gangbao would meet this condition, and with the points allocated behind its level, it would be ready to evolve... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

But if it evolved into a Middle Stage Pet Beast, then the possibility of quickly farming a large number of points through battling two levels higher in team fights would become unlikely...
