the next morning.
Gu Ling sent Xianjiu to the training ground next door and asked Naughty Ghost to do physical training with the other pet beasts in the elite class.
After the physical training, Gu Ling approached a short-haired female teacher and said, "Hello, Teacher He. This is my naughty ghost. Please help Teacher He guide it in skill training."
The short-haired female teacher is He Shujing, and she is one of the teachers responsible for the skill training of the pet beasts in the elite class.
"No problem." He Shujing handed a form and a pen to Gu Ling: "You filled out the skill form first. Have you done the naughty ghost's skill test?"
"Well, most of the skills have been tested. There are two skills that have no conditions, so there is no test." Gu Ling answered while filling out the form.
There were more than a dozen ghost-type skills listed in the two tables. Gu Ling put a check mark next to the skills that Naughty Ghost mastered, and then wrote down the normal skills that Naughty Ghost mastered in the blank space below.
He Shujing took the filled-in form, looked at it for a few times, and said with a smile: "That's okay. Do a few more sets of skill training, and you can roughly judge the proficiency of the skills."
Gu Ling turned to look at Naughty Gui: "Naughty Gui, you are training with Teacher He and must obey Teacher He's instructions."
He Shujing is the only four-star beast master among the many instructors who specializes in the ghost system. The four pet beasts in the contract are all ghost beasts.
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost nodded obediently.
Because he needed to train his skills, Gu Ling temporarily removed the pet beast suppressor from the naughty ghost.
After arranging the training for the naughty boy, Gu Ling did not rush back to the classroom. Instead, he turned a corner and went to the teacher's office and found Zhou Mengran: "Teacher Zhou, I want to ask you a favor."
Zhou Mengran looked confused: "What's the matter?"
"Teacher Zhou, can you send a warrior-level pet beast to conduct a battle training with my naughty ghost at 19:00 every afternoon?"
Gu Ling blinked and stretched out a finger tentatively: "Just a fight! About ten minutes."
Naughty Ghost is a warrior-level player. If he fights against other students' extraordinary-level pets, he won't make much progress even if he wins.
If you go to an external battle hall to randomly select opponents, it will not only waste time, but also make it difficult to control the strength of the random opponents.
Therefore, Gu Ling thought of finding a teacher in school as a free training partner.
But even for the elite class's high-intensity special training, every afternoon training ends at 19:00. Gu Ling's request to conduct battle training after 19:00 would take up the teacher's rest time.
Therefore, Gu Ling had no choice but to shamelessly trouble Zhou Mengran, who was more familiar with him, especially because Gu Ling knew in advance that Zhou Mengran had contracted a warrior-level evil pet beast.
Ghost pet beasts will be restrained by the same and evil attributes. The naughty ghost's daily skill training is guided by teacher He Shujing. There is no shortage of opportunities to fight ghost pet beasts, so Gu Ling hopes to find a target for training once a day. Evil pet beast.
"Do you really want to become a two-star beastmaster before the friendly match starts, and then contract a naughty guy to let him play?"
Zhou Mengran recalled that Gu Ling had spent a lot of time meditating for so many days, and now he made this request. The intention behind this was obvious.
Gu Ling nodded: "I have this plan, so the battle training for naughty ghosts cannot be omitted."
"Okay." Zhou Mengran responded simply: "I just happen to have a New Moon Demonic Wolf with both evil and fire elements, and its strength is at the level of a warrior."
When he heard that it was an evil beast, Gu Ling felt happy.
Sure enough, Zhou Mengran asked Crescent Demon Wolf to be the naughty ghost's sparring partner.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."
Zhou Mengran smiled slightly: "You're welcome, I'm counting on you to perform well in the friendly match."
"Definitely! Promise to live up to the organization's expectations!"
"..."
Throughout the day, Gu Ling went to class and meditated step by step.
Until 19 o'clock in the afternoon, after the day's special training time, Gu Ling first went to pick up Xianjiu from training, and then took the naughty guy to Zhou Mengran for battle training.
Zhou Mengran summoned the Crescent Demon Wolf and asked Gu Ling to attack first.
"Naughty boy, use smoke!"
Surprisingly, Gu Ling did not choose to attack the Crescent Demon Wolf directly, but wanted to guard against the Crescent Demon Wolf's attack.
"I want to use the smoke to cause interference to the Crescent Demon Wolf so that the Crescent Demon Wolf cannot determine the location of the naughty guy..." Zhou Mengran raised his lips and smiled. The next second, his eyes became sharper:
"New Moon Demon Wolf, use the flame vortex to sweep away the smoke!"
The New Moon Demon Wolf opened its mouth and spit out a rapidly rotating ball of fire into the sky.
The flame ball continued to expand, forming a flame vortex, driving the surrounding smoke.
The naughty guy hiding in the smoke had no choice but to be forced out in order not to be attacked by the flame vortex.
"Evil wave!" Zhou Mengran said.
Whether it's a flame vortex or an evil wave, the Crescent Demonic Wolf's skill proficiency is quite high, and it can form an offensive in just a few seconds.
Seeing that he had no time to dodge, Gu Ling chose to fight hard: "Naughty devil! Use the shadow ball!"
The two attacks collided with each other. Before they could last for a few seconds, the shadow ball was annihilated by the wave of evil, and then hit the naughty ghost with undiminished power.
Bang!
The naughty guy was knocked to the ground by this blow and couldn't get up for a while.
"...lost." Gu Ling sighed.
Although I knew I would lose, I lost a bit too quickly.
Zhou Mengran saw through her intentions directly and responded swiftly without giving any chance to breathe.
Gu Ling quickly walked towards Naughty Ghost, picked him up from the ground, and sprayed Naughty Ghost on the wound with the healing spray he prepared in advance.
The naughty ghost's face was full of disappointment: "Jie Jie~"
Gu Ling had a free hand, touched the naughty guy's head, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Teacher Zhou's Crescent Demon Wolf is very strong, and it has attributes to restrain you. It's normal that you can't beat it. Let's fight for it. Just win it back once and for all.”
"Miwu~" Xianjiu nodded with his hands on his hips.
"Jie Jie~"
Suddenly, the naughty guy burst into tears.
On the other side, Zhou Mengran took the Crescent Demonic Wolf back to the pet space: "Gu Ling, your naughty ghost has no way to counteract the evil pet beast. If you encounter an evil pet beast in a friendly match, you will suffer a lot."
Gu Ling nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you, Teacher Zhou."
"Um."
After the battle, Gu Ling took the naughty ghost to the medical room first and let Liludan get some treatment. Then he went to the teaching building to pick up Ye Xiaobai and go home with him.
…
In the corridor of a residential building in the community.
"Xiao Bai, I will pick you up later every day from now on..."
"……Um."
As soon as Gu Ling and Ye Xiaobai walked up to the third floor, they saw a slender man leaning in front of the door of Room 305.
There was a lollipop in the man's mouth, and he glanced over with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, as deep as if there was an entire dazzling galaxy hidden inside.
"Teacher." Ye Xiaobai's eyes brightened when he saw the man, and he walked over quickly.
Hearing Ye Xiaobai calling someone, a hint of surprise appeared in Gu Ling's eyes.
...This person is Senior Ye?
It was rare for Ye Wuyan not to be 'fully armed' today, which resulted in Gu Ling not being able to recognize the person directly.
It is strange to say that as the former number one genius beast master in the Demon City, there is no real photo of Ye Wuyan found on the Internet, only some blurred photos of his facial features.
Ye Wuyan's face is very handsome.
Impeccable.
When the ends of the eyes are inadvertently raised, they will reveal traces of edge.
It just feels a little weird to Gu Ling...
Gu Ling turned to look at Ye Xiaobai. After comparing the two, he suddenly understood.
……hiss.
Senior Ye actually has a 'good student' temperament similar to that of Xiaobai!
At this time, Ye Wuyan raised his hand and waved slightly, with a brisk tone: "Hi~ You are back~"
Hmm... This statement doesn't sound like a good student.
"Senior Ye? Why didn't you go in when you came back?" Gu Ling remembered that this was the room that Ye Wuyan rented by himself, right? There should be a spare key, right?
"I have a surprise for you." Ye Wuyan said with a smile.
Seeing that both of them looked calm, he scratched his head and had to tell the truth: "...Okay, I don't have the key to go in."
Gu Ling: "..."
She felt there was no need to ask further.
It's nothing more than forgetting to leave a spare key for yourself, or losing the key.
In front of Xiao Bai, let's save some face for Ye Wuyan.
Gu Ling took out the key to room 305 and opened the door. After both of them came in, she turned around and asked, "Senior Ye, have you done everything?"
"It's all done, so I came to find you."
Ye Wuyan raised his hand and rubbed Ye Xiaobai's head, looked at the messed up hair in front of him with satisfaction, and said, "Xiaobai, have you missed me~"
"...Hmm." Ye Xiaobai raised his hand to straighten his messed up hair and responded softly.
"Go get me a cup of hot tea."
"good."
After Ye Xiaobai left, Gu Ling asked: "Senior Ye, Xiaobai can contract two pet beasts now, is that okay?"
Even the students at the Beast Control Vocational High School can only contract a pet beast at the age of 14.
Ye Wuyan turned sideways and leaned on the balcony: "Xiao Bai is a bit special. His mental strength seems to be naturally higher than ordinary people. I took him for a test before and found that he has reached the two-star beast control level. The spiritual strength of the master, and the meditation speed is twice as fast as that of ordinary people, so at such a young age, he can contract two pet beasts."
"Since Xiaobai is so talented, why do you want to stay here to go to school?" Gu Ling was curious about this.
Nanping No. 1 Middle School is only outstanding in the county, but looking at the entire Nanfu Province and even the country, it seems a bit ordinary.
With Ye Wuyan's status, it is entirely possible for Ye Xiaobai to go to a school with better educational resources, so that his talent will not be wasted.
Ye Wuyan shook his head slightly: "Although Xiaobai's talent is high, he has no experience in dealing with people. Let him stay in an ordinary school for a while and he can adapt as soon as possible."
"It's just right. I only know you as a high school student here, so I can only ask you."
Gu Ling asked: "Senior Ye, what are your plans next?"
"It's too cold now. I don't want to go out, so I'll just stay here for now."
The cold wind blew by, and Ye Wuyan couldn't help but shrink his neck and walked quickly back to the living room.
Originally, Ye Wuyan planned to go to the South China Sea to escape the cold, but Ye Xiaobai was currently studying here, so he just stayed for a while.
In the living room.
Both air conditioners were turned on and adjusted to hot air, and soon the whole room became warm.
Only then did Gu Ling understand why there were four air conditioners installed in this room.
"It's a pity that there is no floor heating here, so we can only make do with the air conditioner." Ye Wuyan sighed as he sat casually on the carpeted floor, drinking the hot tea handed to him by Ye Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai! I'll teach you how to play games!"
The next second, like magic, Ye Wuyan took out a game disc from his pocket, quickly put it into the disc player in the living room, and then looked at Ye Xiaobai expectantly.
"……Um."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaobai put down the illustration book in his hand with a calm expression.
Two minutes later——
Ye Wuyan's disbelieving voice sounded in the room!
"...Ahhh!"
"Why did you lose again? I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
"Xiaobai! They bullied me! Help me take revenge!"
Ye Xiaobai, a newbie who didn't even understand the rules of the game, was able to defeat several monsters with good luck.
But Ye Wuyan was beaten like crazy as if he had stabbed a monster's nest, and was killed several times in just a few minutes.
Gu Ling took a quick look and found that the results were really unbearable to look at.
But looking at Ye Wuyan's repeated defeats, his enthusiasm remains undiminished, in short -
People are addicted to food.
Gu Ling felt that her filter for Ye Wuyan's awesome coaxing had been shattered into pieces.
Seeing that nothing happened to him, Gu Ling went back directly.
"Senior Ye, I'm leaving first."
"Go, go, go~"
"..."
In this way, two weeks passed peacefully, and the special training of the elite class was carried out in an orderly manner...
one night.
Gu Ling slowly opened his eyes and exited the meditative state.
"Hey..." Gu Ling couldn't help but sigh.
In the past two weeks, the concentration speed of the spiritual beads has been too slow.
The fourth time I took the strange spiritual fruit, from November 7th to 15th, it lasted for 8 days and condensed 680 spiritual beads.
The fifth time I took the strange spiritual fruit, from November 16th to 23rd, it lasted for 8 days and condensed 650 spiritual beads.
Currently, there are still 2,170 spiritual beads left to break through to a two-star beast master.
If she continues at this rate, she won't be able to become a two-star beast master by the time the friendly competition begins.
"Should I eat the other Glazed Qimu Fruit first?" Gu Ling was a little confused.
The quality of the Glazed Strange Tree Fruit is higher than that of the Strange Spiritual Fruit, and correspondingly, the speed of condensing the Spiritual Beads will also be faster.
However, with Gu Ling's current mental strength, after taking the fruit, he would absorb at most 50% to 60% of the fruit's energy, and the rest could only be wasted.
Gu Ling's original plan was to become a two-star beast master and then take the Glazed Qimu Fruit.
Coming out of the room, Gu Ling glanced in the direction of the living room and study room.
Xianjiu and Naughty Ghost are also immersed in studying.
These days, Xianjiu is like a chicken. He doesn't even watch the cartoons he likes to watch. He is either meditating or training all day long. The naughty guy can't find a chance to scare Xianjiu.
The naughty ghost also lives in the study almost all day, and only floats out for a while every night when he soaks in the water of the River Styx.
Gu Ling took out some bread from the refrigerator, and habitually checked his phone while eating. When he saw the new message of +, he clicked on it.
"The start time of the friendly match is out? It's on December 12th..."
"Schools will be temporarily suspended in December? Students can arrange their own time freely?"
After the two notices were sent out by the class teacher, many students in the elite class were asking about the specific time of the last monthly exam.
After all, the results of this last monthly exam determine which six people will represent Nanping No. 1 Middle School in the friendly match.
Gu Ling scrolled down again, and another teacher responded with the monthly exam time. If nothing else happened, it would still be in the last two or three days of the end of the month.
However, what Gu Ling was more concerned about was the notice of class suspension.
If she didn't have to go to class, wouldn't she have 4 more hours to meditate?
"14 hours of meditation a day..." Gu Ling's eyes brightened slightly, and he quickly went back to his room and started to estimate on his computer.
Finally, Gu Ling circled the date "11th" on his notebook and stared at the number with burning eyes.
"……Have the opportunity!"
Isn’t it just 14 hours?
Just do it!
But as a result, Gu Ling couldn't accompany Xiaobai to and from school, so he ran next door to inform a certain senior who was staying at home for half a month to play games.
…
One minute later.
In room 305 next door.
"14 hours?!"
Ye Wuyan was shocked: "Little classmate, just be a human being, you make me look like a waste."
Gu Ling blinked: "Uh..." If Ye Wuyan is a waste, then everyone is as stupid as a pig.
"Little classmate, how can you sit still?"
Ye Wuyan didn't understand.
He doesn't understand!
Even Ye Wuyan himself couldn't meditate for four hours straight, mainly because he was too bored.
Gu Ling felt it was necessary to clarify: "I don't meditate all the time. I take a few minutes' break every two or three hours and eat something by the way."
"You're awesome!" Ye Wuyan exclaimed, "At this rate, you might be able to become a two-star beast master before the friendly competition begins."
"Little classmate, you have to work hard and try to win the friendly competition championship."
Gu Ling nodded: "I'll do my best. After all, I also want the hundreds of thousands of championship bonuses for the friendly competition."
Ye Wuyan said in a casual tone: "Maybe it will be more than just bonuses."
Gu Ling paused and quickly asked: "Are there any other rewards? What kind of resources are they? Senior Ye, do you know any inside information?"
"Keep it secret."
Ye Wuyan smiled mysteriously and said no more: "You will know when you win the friendly competition."
He stopped saying this mid-sentence, which made Gu Ling feel a little itchy and couldn't help but become curious.
What is so special about the champion of this friendly match?
Nanping No. 1 Middle School also attaches unprecedented importance to this friendly match. Is it just to break the record? Could it be related to the 'confidentiality' that Senior Ye mentioned?
Gu Ling was still thinking about this matter until he gave the naughty guy a bath in Styx water at night.
"Jie Jie~" The naughty ghost stretched out comfortably in the water, and then opened his mouth wide at Gu Ling.
Seeing this, Gu Ling picked up a few grapes from the fruit plate and accurately threw them into the naughty guy's mouth.
Suddenly, the naughty ghost narrowed his eyes happily: "Jie Jie~"
Gu Ling put down the fruit plate, touched the naughty guy's head again, then exited the door and went back to continue meditating.
It's useless to think about it now.
Once she wins the friendly competition, everything will be clear.
"But..."
Gu Ling's eyes rolled slightly, revealing a hint of cunning: "The genius beastmaster lives next door on the first day. It would be a pity if such a good 'resource' is not utilized."
Thoughts together are like wild weeds that cannot be burned away no matter how hard they are burned.
then……
In the next few days, whenever Gu Ling was free, he would go next door to ask Ye Wuyan for advice——
"Senior Ye, I want to ask you a question."
"Senior Ye, I have a question."
"Senior Ye, I have one last question..."
"..."
After coming down several times, Ye Wuyan was a little confused by the question.
Didn’t he come here to fish on vacation?
Why do you still need to teach students? !
Ye Wuyan expressed his grievance: "Little classmate, I still want to play games."
Hearing this, Gu Ling silently turned his head and glanced at the gray results displayed on the TV screen.
She has been here so many times, but she has never seen Ye Wuyan win once!
How can someone be abused by games thousands of times and still treat games like their first love?
"Ahem..." Ye Wuyan noticed that Gu Ling saw the screen, and pressed the remote control without changing his expression, switching the game screen.
Gu Ling clasped his hands together and said in a sincere tone: "I promise! This must be the last question."
"Ah...I'm very busy..." Ye Wuyan's eyes wandered.
"When I finish the friendly match, I will take you to play games with me, senior!"
"Can you play games?"
"Guaranteed to win!"
"make a deal!"
"..."
So, Gu Ling raised his question quickly: "When ghost-type beasts of the same level fight against evil-type beasts, and their attributes are restrained, how can they defeat evil-type beasts by inverting their attributes?"
"Senior Ye, I have hypothesized many possibilities, but when I fought against Teacher Zhou's Crescent Demonic Wolf before, it had no effect at all."
A few hours ago, Zhou Mengran posted in the group the list and information of some players from foreign schools who had confirmed to participate in the friendly match.
Among them, Yu Xiliang, who ranked first in the second-grade beast control class of Hailan No. 1 Middle School, broke through to the warrior level with his contracted evil beast, the Gart Dog, a few days ago.
Xian Jiu's super power was severely restrained by the evil Gart Dog, and there was still a level gap. Gu Ling didn't want Xian Jiu to stand up to the evil pet beast Gart Dog unless he had to.
Therefore, Gu Ling placed his hope on the naughty ghost.
Although the ghost pet beasts are also restrained by the evil pet beasts, the naughty ghost is a warrior level, so at least it is not at such a disadvantage compared to Xianjiu.
Ye Wuyan said without hesitation: "Go straight in! Believe in yourself!"
Gu Ling was silent for a second and asked in a sincere tone: "Senior Ye, are you really helpless?"
No way, right?
The number one genius beastmaster in Magic City can’t even answer the questions high school students ask?
"...I can help you ask professionals in this field!" With this suspicious look in his eyes, Ye Wuyan grinded his teeth slightly. He really couldn't bear it at all!
"..."
five minutes later.
A fresh note file was posted on Gu Ling's WeChat.
When he saw that the signature of the note was "Meng Wenxin", Gu Ling was stunned for half a second, and then looked at Ye Wuyan with a surprised look on his face: "This...could this be the person who was favored seven years ago?" The Beast Alliance has rated it as the new generation of ghost king Meng Wenxin’s notes, right?”
"Yes." Ye Wuyan nodded: "I originally asked for it for Xiao Bai. He is more suitable for the path of specializing in the ghost system. If you need it, just take it and have a look."
"Thank you, Senior Ye!"
Gu Ling thanked her sincerely and left immediately.
After walking out of the door, Gu Ling paused and frowned in thought.
etc?
Did she just hear something terrible?
"...Forget it, let's go back to find the naughty guy!"
Find a good-looking background picture and blend the cat into it to try the effect~
I like both cats so much, so confused QAQ-
In addition, Happy National Day~ Today’s 6000 update, the plot of the friendly match should start in the next chapter or the next~
