Chapter 84: Chapter 82 Angel Envoy

If he could really lead the team to the championship and ultimately secure victory,

he’d be willing to lie in the hospital dormitory day after day, sipping milk tea and eating watermelon!

Tian Xuechuan settled down comfortably, finding it oddly soothing to just lie flat.

Besides, even if they didn’t win the championship this year, there was always next year.

Next year he’d be a senior, while the underclassmen would become sophomores.

They were already so fierce as freshmen, next year as sophomores, they’d be unstoppable.

Sitting down comfortably, he waited for next year when the sophomores would help him clinch the Shu State Cup championship.

Thinking of this, Tian Xuechuan took a delightful sip of the milk tea on the table next to him, sweet, truly delicious~

Ding-a-ling~

The ringtone of the cell phone interrupted Tian Xuechuan’s reverie.

“Hello, coach?”

“Ah, the doctor said after resting for one more day, I should be nearly ready to leave the hospital,” Tian Xuechuan said.

“Alright… alright, I am prepared.”

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xuechuan’s expression soured, the coach wanted him to get ready for the next battle.

Ah… Why not let the underclassman continue to shine?

He didn’t mind at all!

In the afternoon, Tian Xuechuan, with his recuperated Ghost Face Mastiff, left the hospital and headed straight for the school.

Only after he arrived at the school team did he learn from the coach why he was put in the lineup.

Although the underclassman’s Beast Taming had performed well, it was also due to tactics and luck, and such results were hard to replicate.

Tactics tended to work best the first time, and more importantly, among the opponents for this round was a Water Element Beast that had evolved once.

“Now that your underclassman has won a peak battle, we’ve entered the top sixteen. Believe it or not, our next opponent will definitely target your underclassman first,” Kuang Shiyi glanced at Tian Xuechuan.

“Besides, they all think your underclassman will continue to fight. Switching to you next match could catch them off guard,” Kuang Shiyi said to Tian Xuechuan.

Tian Xuechuan pondered, feeling that what the coach said made a lot of sense.

“Coach, who are our opponents?”

“The next match is the knockout round from sixteen to eight, and we’ve already drawn our opponent—it’s Yanchuan Senior High School.”

Tian Xuechuan frowned, the name didn’t sound like a public school.

But it wasn’t a name from among the famous private schools in Jincheng either.

“Yanchuan Senior High School is a private high school in Tianyang City, the only one in the entire Tianyang City. They weren’t very well-known until this year when they made a sudden rise. They, too, have a 3+1 lineup,” the coach explained.

Tian Xuechuan sighed in relief, as long as it wasn’t a full team of four.

Anyway, he was the +1 in the 3+1 setup, so it would be 1 on 1 when the time came.

“Here’s the intel. Go over the information carefully today; our match is the day after tomorrow,” the coach instructed.

“Got it, coach!” Tian Xuechuan promised to practice diligently!

“Hey, where’s the underclassman?” Tian Xuechuan noticed he hadn’t seen the underclassman’s figure upon returning to the school team.

“Chen Xing had something to take care of. He’s not playing the day after tomorrow, so you’d better focus on your training! Was it comfortable lying in the hospital for a day?” Kuang Shiyi gave him a sidelong glance.

“Ah?” Tian Xuechuan played dumb, “No, taking care of the Beast was hard work.”

Kuang Shiyi scoffed: “Yeah, right, the nurses told me you shoved your Beast under the bed for the IV, while you lay on the hospital bed cracking seeds and sleeping like a log! Your snoring was so loud your Beast couldn’t get a wink of sleep.”

“Cough…” Tian Xuechuan’s face turned red.

Why did the nurse have to spill everything? After all, he had given her a bag of frozen treats just yesterday to keep things under wraps.

“Alright, enough chit-chat. These next few days, have your Beast undergo specific training, especially… to avoid being dragged underwater and drowned. It would be a laughingstock if someone else used the same tactic to defeat us,” Kuang Shiyi advised.

Hearing this, Tian Xuechuan felt a bitter knot in his stomach. Honestly, recalling the match he had watched yesterday, he was still a bit traumatized.

The Devil Commander Dog that was almost drowned yesterday on TV was the evolved form of his own Ghost Face Mastiff!

If a Devil Commander Dog could be dragged underwater and drowned, then sinking a little Ghost Face Mastiff should not be difficult at all.

In previous training, he had occasionally seen the Salty Bay Crocodile of the underclassman. Back then, its massive size alone made him a bit intimidated.

They had never actually fought, and though he was surprised at Taotie’s size at that time, to be honest, he still felt a sense of superiority as a senior.

But after watching yesterday’s battle, Tian Xuechuan suddenly realized that even if his own Beast had been up there, the results wouldn’t have been any better.

…

At this moment, a few kilometers away from the school, on the road,

Chen Xing felt as if he were in Pansi Cave, sitting uneasily in the passenger seat.

“Yu Ning, this is your student, huh? Looks quite clear-eyed and handsome.”

“Hee hee, and he’s shy too, even blushing,” Gong Yilan teased.

“Enough, Gong Yilan, don’t scare my student,” Han Yuning chided.

The girl in the red camisole dress sitting by the window in the back seat gave a snort, “You call me Xiao Lan when you need me and Gong Yilan when you don’t. Han Yuning, you flip-flop faster than turning pages in a book.”

Han Yuning kept driving, “The Skill Orb of the great flood that I bought for you yesterday is a product of your Sister Gong’s family.”

“Universe Commerce Guild?” Chen Xing exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right.” Han Yuning nodded.

“It doesn’t matter much to me; I still have three older brothers and four older sisters above me,” Gong Yilan said cheerfully, sitting by the window in the back seat. “But if you ever want to buy anything in the future, you can ask Sister Gong. I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can get you an eight percent discount.”

Gong Yilan turned and handed Chen Xing a silver card.

The word “Universe” was printed on the front.

“It’s a silver card from the Universe Commerce Guild, take it,” Han Yuning said.
