Chapter 228: Chapter 216: The Floating Bell

“The principal said we could join the school team,” a senior student murmured.

“I heard it too…” a classmate nearby said, his expression distant.

A more rational female classmate chimed in, “Be precise, the principal said it’s after defeating Qiao Sang.”

“What’s the difference between that and handing us a spot on a silver platter!” The student who spoke first’s face turned red with excitement.

They thought they were just there for the spectacle, never imagining the principal would drop such a bombshell at the opening ceremony!

Senior year, the most grueling stage in a student’s life!

Not only do you need to be proficient in every subject, but you also need to understand things not even covered in the textbooks.

Knowledge about Beast Taming is a must, staying informed of current affairs and politics is expected, and dealing with trivial matters is commonplace; students sleep later than dogs and rise earlier than chickens—that describes the senior year experience.

Having already spent two years in high school, everyone has a rough idea of their grades.

In an environment filled with academic overachievers, claiming to have no pressure is a lie. They had planned to make a final push in their last year, but to their surprise, the chance to join the school team was now before them!

Once on the team, securing a place in a competition all but guarantees admission to an undergraduate program, let alone a top-tier university.

High school is different from junior high; the difficulty of the material increases exponentially, and it is not uncommon for students from prestigious high schools to end up in community colleges.

While the sophomores were excited, the seniors were positively frenzied at this opportunity.

“First come, first served, don’t you all compete with me! My grades are the worst.”

“If you make the team, you’ll have to compete against other schools. With just a mid-level Pet Beast, you might just embarrass our school.”

“If that’s the case, I remember you only have a Dual-Tailed Tortoise, so you’re not planning to try, right?”

“No, I’m going for it!”

“Heh.”

“Stop arguing, someone’s already going up there.”

“Damn it! Which bastard moved so fast!”

“It’s Feng Zongxin from Class 3, the one from that rich family. He ranked third from last in the entire school in last semester’s final exam; even a Tier 3 university is a stretch for him, so he has to move fast.”

“Lucky him.”

On the field, a boy around 1.76 meters tall, sporting a clean crew cut, appeared slightly excited as he summoned a Pet Beast with a blue bell on top of its head and two tails ending in yellow.

Puffbell, the evolved form of Bubblebell, a mid-level Pet Beast, always floats the direction the wind blows… Information about Puffbell immediately formed in Qiao Sang’s mind.

“Senior Year (3) Class, Feng Zongxin,” the boy said earnestly: “I’m sorry, but I must have this spot!”

Qiao Sang nodded, “Good luck.”

Feng Zongxin: “…”

As the whistle blew, Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, vanished on the spot.

“Puffbell, Teleportation!” Feng Zongxin issued his command in time.

“Puff~”

Puffbell, floating in the wind’s direction, instantly appeared at a different location.

The field fell silent, Xiao Xunbao did not reappear.

Feng Zongxin scanned his surroundings warily, and after three seconds, he issued another command: “Teleportation.”

Using Teleportation to constantly change positions was indeed a wise choice to avoid being controlled by a Spectral-type Pet Beast one could not see.

After all, a Spectral-type Pet Beast simply turns invisible; its speed does not increase.

Unfortunately, his Xiao Xunbao was not simply a Spectral-type… Watching the Puffbell that had just teleported onto the field, Qiao Sang spoke, “Now is the time.”

Hearing Qiao Sang’s command, Feng Zongxin hesitated for a moment, then his pupils shrank abruptly, and he bellowed, “Don’t look into its eyes!”
