Chapter 563: A Perfect Way to Farm Points

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ghost-type pet beast, which was about the same size as most beginner-level pet beasts.

They never expected this pet beast to simultaneously possess two highly difficult skills, Spatial Shift and Shadow Control, which were extremely rare in both the psychic and ghost types!

Not only that, but its Shadow Control had even reached the three-dimensional mode!

A few seconds later, the audience erupted into an uproar, with discussions breaking out everywhere.

"Ashur was completely overwhelmed! That ghost-type pet beast is terrifying, it effortlessly controlled both Blasrnn and Hatgentle!"

"This isn't the level of battle that should be happening in high school."

"It’s like Qiao Sang knew from the start that her opponent would be Ashur. She barely even gave any commands, yet her two pet beasts knew exactly how to counter Blasen and Hatgentle's charm abilities."

"Exactly! Otherwise, why would Steel Falcon close its eyes? Even if it wanted to resist charm, shutting its eyes would be too risky. Both Blasen and Hatgentle are psychic-type pet beasts and are even a level higher than it. They could have easily taken it down the moment it closed its eyes. The only reason the Steel Falcon did it was because it trusted the ghost-type pet beast to act at the right moment."

"I also think Steel Falcon knew that the ghost-type pet beast would move Hatgentle instead of Blasen. Otherwise, why would it specifically close its eyes against Hatgentle's charm? Look, later on, when Blasen tried to use charm at close range, it had no effect. The Steel Falcon knew how charm worked and was aware that Hatgentle was a different gender."

"Oh my god, I wouldn’t have thought of all this if you guys didn’t point it out! My attention was completely on that ghost-type pet beast!"

"Qiao Sang’s skill level is already far beyond her peers. She should be competing against older and more experienced opponents, not participating in this friendly match."

"You’re right. Even if she has a solid core strategy, the gap in pet beast strength is just too huge. That ghost-type pet beast’s Shadow Control completely immobilized the opponents, turning them into nothing more than standing targets."

The students from Sainan High School were initially thrilled, but when they realized that Qiao Sang could be their next opponent, their excitement quickly died down.

"Looks like there’s no suspense about who’s winning the championship this time." The young black man sitting next to Magee sighed.

Magee restrained the smile on his face and responded humbly, "That’s not necessarily true. Qiao Sang just has more pet beasts, and people aren't familiar with their abilities yet. Now that all her pet beasts have been revealed, her opponents will be better prepared. She won’t have such an easy time winning anymore."

The young man gave him a silent glance.

This guy didn’t say she won’t win, just that she won’t win as easily.

At 7 PM.

After turning down a few dinner invitations, Qiao Sang returned to her hotel.

She sat at her desk reading for about ten minutes before suddenly thinking of something. She turned to Gangbao and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ever since the match ended today, she had noticed that Gangbao had been unusually quiet. Although she was usually reserved, today’s silence felt different.

Gangbao, who had been silently feeding Chan Chan Stone some spicy peppers, paused for a moment, then looked up and let out a calm cry, indicating that nothing was wrong.

She just felt... weak.

Qiao Sang: ???

Didn’t they win the match?

"Do you feel like Little Treasure was doing all the work while you just attacked?" Qiao Sang tested.

Gangbao fell silent and nodded.

Well, that was unavoidable. The opponents were both psychic-types and could teleport. If Little Treasure hadn’t taken control of them, Gangbao wouldn’t have been able to dodge their attacks in time…

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Don’t think of it that way. If they hadn’t targeted you first, Little Treasure wouldn’t have been able to control them so smoothly."

"Gang… Gang..."

Gangbao gave her trainer a glance.

She understood. Attack the weaker target first, huh.

Qiao Sang: ...

How do you comfort a pet beast that’s too smart? Asking for advice, this is urgent!

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched as she sighed helplessly.@@novelbin@@

"You’re still just a beginner-level pet beast. Your opponents were all a level higher than you, and Little Treasure is two levels higher. The fact that you could work so well with him during the match is already impressive. Once you evolve, you’ll be stronger."

"Gang gang."

Gangbao nodded, indicating she understood. Then, she turned back and continued feeding spicy peppers to Chan Chan Stone.

Qiao Sang sighed silently.

She felt that Gangbao was more mature than Yabao and the others. She would express her concerns, but she wouldn’t fully open up.

It was like a mother noticing that her child came home from school acting off, asking what happened. The child would hesitate, then give a brief answer.

The mother would offer some comforting words, and the child would nod, signaling the end of the conversation. But whether the issue was truly resolved… only the child knew.

Lubao, in contrast, didn’t say much either but she would emit cold air or spray water to physically express her displeasure.

Qiao Sang found herself unable to focus on her book. After a moment of thought, she closed her eyes and entered the Beast Taming Codex.

The pages flipped quickly until she reached Gangbao's entry.

Name: Steel Falcon (Gangbao)

Attributes: Steel, Flying

Level: Beginner (815/1000) +

Her gaze moved down to the last line.

Points: 280

280?!

Yesterday, it was 120, and today it’s 280?!

Did today’s team battle give Gangbao 160 points in one go?!

Qiao Sang’s heart pounded wildly.

She suddenly realized that she had overlooked a perfect method for quickly farming points!

From past experience, she knew that defeating pet beasts of a higher level yielded significantly more points. But not all same-level pet beasts gave the same points, the stronger the opponent, the more points awarded.

Team battles allowed Gangbao to defeat much stronger opponents by working with teammates.

Previously, she had only tested letting Yabao and the others battle opponents one level higher in competitions.

But what if they challenged opponents two levels higher?

Of course, Yabao and the others couldn’t do it yet. But Gangbao? It might be possible!

Back when Yabao was still a beginner-level pet beast, he landed the finishing blow on Thunderbolt Bird, earning a staggering 930 points in one go!

The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. She shifted her gaze to the first skill listed.

[Iron Wall (Mastery 476/500) +]

To achieve a perfect evolution, Gangbao needed to master a defensive skill at the minor proficiency level while still at the beginner stage.

At this rate, Gangbao would meet that condition by tomorrow.

If she used all her points to level her up, she could evolve immediately…

But that would mean losing the chance to farm more points through team battles against stronger opponents.

Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

Once Gangbao evolved, she would be harder to fight opponents two levels above her in team battles to farm points efficiently…
