Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 278: Lick It Awake!

The senior high school team?

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, "This isn’t quite right, is it?"

To tell the truth, training with the school team wouldn’t be of much help to her. Since it wouldn’t be of much help, she might as well stay in the junior team where she was accustomed to everything; there was no need to change environments.

"What’s not right about it," Liu Yao said. "Moving forward, you’ll be participating in the senior level national campus beast taming competition. Continuing to stay in the junior team would be inappropriate."

"Junior year and senior year training have different focuses. The junior team currently mainly trains in cultivating the rapport between the pet beasts and the diversity of skills usage, while senior team’s daily training is all about actual combat."

"If you want to achieve good results in the senior level national campus beast taming competition, you definitely need to train with the senior team. Teacher Sun Boyi, you’ve met him before, the one who was fully in charge of the special recruitment last time, he’s the coach of the senior team."

A thought crossed Qiao Sang’s mind, and she said, "I understand."

Actual combat, that’s exactly what Yaobao and the others are lacking right now!

Under normal circumstances, experience in combat and proficiency in skills are both honed through actual combat, to be improved gradually.

Her initial decision to become a sparring partner was precisely for more combat opportunities, unfortunately, she didn’t have much time for that due to school later on.

Now that she could frequently engage in actual combat within the school, it was naturally the best scenario.

Of course, the most important was, leveling up!

...

In the exclusive office space for the school team coaches at the school.

Zheng Guoping was animatedly talking, "Qiao Sang, this kid, the moment I laid eyes on her during the special recruitment, I knew she was extraordinary. Which ordinary kid has the Fire-Toothed Dog as their first contracted pet beast!"

That’s not what you were saying at the beginning... Qingwen glanced at him sideways from the chair nearby.

Zheng Guoping continued excitedly, "Three pet beasts, a whole three pet beasts—among the freshmen at Litian Royal Beast High School, not one compares to Qiao Sang."

He suddenly thought of something and raised his voice, "This won’t do! I have to go find the principal; Qiao Sang can completely represent the junior section in this year’s national campus beast taming competition!"

With that, Zheng Guoping charged towards the door.

"You stop right there!" Qin Wen quickly called out to Zheng Guoping.

What a joke. Qiao Sang is supposed to represent the freshman section in the competitions!

It’s just that the abilities of other freshman students simply aren’t on the same level as Qiao Sang’s, which is why she was first asked to train in the junior section. She would come back during the competition period. That was all agreed upon in advance!

"What’s the matter?" Zheng Guoping stopped and turned to ask.

"What’s the matter?" Qin Wen frowned. "What did we agree on before? If Qiao Sang takes part in the junior level competition, what about our freshmen?"

Zheng Guoping chuckled, "Qiao Sang is so talented... For her, participating in the freshman level competition is not very challenging. Besides, it’s not as if there’s no precedent in Hangkang City for lower-grade students to participate in higher-grade competitions. Considering that Qiao Sang has been training with the junior team all this time, joining the junior level competition wouldn’t be excessive, and in the end, any honor we win is for our school."

"I hear there are a few decent students in the freshman class. You can just find a substitute to fill in. Qiao Sang participating in the junior level competition will allow her to demonstrate her true abilities. There is a saying you always say, without pressure, there’s no progress."

"You just want the honor of a top-class coach, don’t you?" Qin Wen pierced through his facade without mercy. "We had made arrangements beforehand that Qiao Sang would train with you, and when the time comes, the head coach’s bonus would be yours, but at the end, she still has to represent the freshman section in the competition."

There isn’t a coach who wouldn’t want the honor medal.

The honor medal signifies a coach’s achievements and status.

With higher status, one has access to higher echelons, more options, and naturally, the salary goes without saying.

According to the conditions laid out by the "Coach Reward Law", any head coach whose trainee wins first place in a national competition at the provincial level gets both the top-class coach’s honor medal and a special prize bonus of one million Alliance Currency.

The honor medals are ranked special, first, second, and third class, with special class being the highest.

These medals are issued by the National Beast Taming Battle Bureau’s approval—it’s a matter for newspapers and television. No coach could refuse this honor.

If Qiao Sang participates in the junior section’s competition, the registered coach will naturally be Zheng Guoping, who is currently coaching the junior team.

"What if I say I don’t want the head coach’s bonus?" Zheng Guoping, knowing he was at fault, lowered his voice instantly.

"No way!" Qingwen shouted angrily.

As if anyone is forcing you to take money... Zheng Guoping grumbled inwardly.

For a moment, Qingwen and Zheng Guoping glared at each other, and neither spoke.
