Chapter 250: Chapter 238: The Fighter among the Underachievers
Thanks to the translation of the Treasure-seeking Ghost, Qiao Sang learned of two things.
First, Shuilu Yana liked Yaobao.
Second, Shuilu Yana was willing to form a contract.

Qiao Sang stood there stunned, these two pieces of information echoing in her mind, disturbing the peace of her soul for a long time.
Yaobao, it’s still a child!
Shuilu Yana actually, actually wanted to contract for Yaobao’s sake!
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang felt such regret, why didn’t she practice meditation earlier? If she had practiced sooner, maybe the third page of the Beast Taming Codex would be hers now!
How it came to be that a national treasure-level Pet Beast offered to contract with her, yet she had no way to form the contract!
Qiao Sang was silent for a long while, then earnestly said to Shuilu Yana, “Wait for me a little longer.”
“Lulu~”
Shuilu Yana glanced at Yaobao, then made a coy noise, indicating it didn’t mind waiting.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s gaze wavered and she said, “Yaobao, you two… must get along well in the future.”
“Ya!”
Yaobao wagged its tail and called out, its eyes especially innocent and clear.
It understood that this elderly Pet Beast would also follow his Beast Tamer, just like Xiao Xunbao.
Having spent some time together and with Shuilu Yana having treated Yaobao recently, coupled with Shuilu Yana’s age, Yaobao no longer held its previous prejudices.
“Xun!”
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost called out, asserting its presence.
“Yes, and Xiao Xunbao,” Qiao Sang added.
…
When they arrived at the courtyard, Shuilu Yana was showing off its newly learned Water Jet Thrust.
Qiao Sang was multitasking, her eyes on Shuilu Yana, but half of her mind was occupied with another matter, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Shuilu Yana might have forgotten what she once told it about heartbreak being the key to its evolution.
Should she remind it?
But then again, if Shuilu Yana was prepared for heartbreak in advance, would the heartbreak still go smoothly…
As Qiao Sang pondered, Shuilu Yana lost control of its momentum in mid-air and turned sharply downwards, looking like it would crash to the ground, when Yaobao teleported and caught Shuilu Yana on its back.
“Lulu…”
Opening its eyes, Shuilu Yana saw itself perched on Yaobao’s back, its expression bashful.
“Ya!”
Yaobao called out, indicating it was only doing what it should.
It remembered well the words of its Beast Tamer; it needed to get along well with Shuilu Yana from now on.
Since they would be companions, it simply couldn’t let Shuilu Yana dive headfirst into the ground like before.
Qiao Sang witnessed the entire process from the sidelines.
Initially only suspecting that Shuilu Yana had forgotten its own evolution condition, she could now be one hundred percent certain, it definitely forgot…
Shuilu Yana jumped down from Yaobao’s back.
Qiao Sang stepped forward and analyzed, “Not bad, the Water Jet Thrust is almost perfected; it just needs a slight improvement in energy control.”
Qiao Sang was only momentarily surprised in her heart at Shuilu Yana’s sudden mastery of a moderately difficult skill among the intermediate skills.
After all, both Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao learned skills as if they were playing, and they even mastered advanced skills at the Beginner Stage. She, too, was greatly impacted by this and had thus developed a strong mental resilience.
Although Qiao Sang’s mind was a mess just a moment ago, part of her attention was still on the Water Jet Thrust that Shuilu Yana was using.
Being unable to adjust the direction of the Water Jet Thrust well simply meant that her control over energy was still insufficient.
“Lulu?”
Shuilu Yana asked, then what should it do?
“Just one word, train,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
The strength of a Pet Beast is inseparable from long-term training, but there are shortcuts too, which are resources.
Qiao Sang was different, she had another shortcut besides resources: the Golden Finger.
It was just that she couldn’t contract with Shuilu Yana at the moment, otherwise, as long as the Water Jet Thrust was successfully executed once, there would be no need to worry about controlling it poorly anymore.
“Lulu!” Shuilu Yana nodded its head and immediately turned around to train the Water Jet Thrust.
Actually, its determination to become stronger was not that intense anymore, since the persistent person who had been chasing it had left, and it had found itself a Beast Tamer.
Having a Beast Tamer meant no one would chase after it to force a contract, which was actually one of the reasons it was willing to contract.
However, Yaobao was so hard-working, training all the time; it definitely preferred a more diligent self!
Thinking thus, Shuilu Yana showed a determined expression and threw itself into the training with all its might.
…
The next morning.
Qiao Sang walked into the classroom, went to her seat, and immediately started to meditate.
This time she was not influenced by her surroundings but had taken the initiative to meditate.
The pressing matter now was to quickly get to the third page of the Beast Taming Codex. Once the codex had a third page, many issues could be readily solved.
Firstly, Shuilu Yana could be contracted, and even if others came looking for her, it wouldn’t have any more impact.
Secondly, Shuilu Yana’s evolution could be scheduled early. After all, it agreed to contract for Yaobao’s sake. If it were to suffer heartbreak before the contract, it might just flood the house, flick its tail, and leave without a cloud in the sky.
Given Shuilu Yana’s previous temperament, this possibility was very high.
Lastly, the pace of learning skills could be accelerated. With the Golden Finger, even if Shuilu Yana couldn’t learn new skills quickly, it could be trained in the Mystique of its current skills.
When Qiao Sang finished meditating, Jin Feifan glanced at his wristwatch. There were five minutes left before the first period. He turned his head and asked softly, “Did you resolve your issue?”
“Resolved,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Yesterday, after she took leave, Jin Feifan had sent a message asking about it, but Qiao Sang didn’t mention her fever; she just said something came up.
“That’s good.” Jin Feifan seemed to remember something, smiled, and said, “By the way, the class was supposed to choose participants for the sports meeting yesterday, but since you weren’t there, we all agreed to postpone the selection until today.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
She understood that those chosen to compete for the class in the sports meeting were usually the poor students.
And she was a fighter jet among those poor students.
“Our school is holding the sports meeting so early? Didn’t we just start the school year?” Qiao Sang asked.
“I heard it’s starting at the end of September, but we can choose the participants early. Knowing early which events we’re competing in allows us to practice in advance,” Jin Feifan said.
Qiao Sang expressed her understanding; the sports meeting at Beast Taming High School was different from a regular high school. Most of the sports events were participated in by Pet Beasts, and some required the cooperation of Beast Tamers and their Pet Beasts.
For the freshmen who had just become Beast Tamers, they barely had any experience with these events, so they needed to prepare in advance.
“Do you have any event in mind that you want to participate in?” Jin Feifan asked.
