No. 101 Bersay Manor.

Bedroom.

Little Treasure was watching the news on the television.

"At 4:56 PM today, a Beast Tamer with a Ghost Ring King apprehended a man. At the time, a wild wind whipped up, sweeping away the man's clothing, and the man transformed into a Clothes-Changing Totem. The Ghost Ring King was no match for the Clothes-Changing Totem, allowing it to escape."

"According to eyewitnesses, this shiny Ghost Ring King is not the wanted Ghost Ring King. The wanted Ghost Ring King was actually transformed from this Clothes-Changing Totem. The Ghost Ring King's Beast Tamer used various means to lock onto the Clothes-Changing Totem and risked capturing it just to prove the Ghost Ring King's innocence. Currently, the Public Security Bureau has launched an investigation..."

The television screen switched to surveillance footage. In the video, which had fairly clear image quality, a gust of wild wind blew over a blonde, blue-eyed man, sweeping away all the items on his body. The man twisted and transformed into a Clothes-Changing Totem.

Immediately afterward, a young girl with a ponytail stood opposite the man, loudly proclaiming the Ghost Ring King's innocence.

The Clothes-Changing Totem remained silent, its eye merely glowing with a blue light as it looked at the Ghost Ring King.

The Ghost Ring King inexplicably appeared in its hand, and then its eyes rolled back as it fell into a faint.

The Clothes-Changing Totem vanished.

The Ghost Ring King fell from midair.

The surveillance frame froze.

Little Treasure switched to another channel.

"At 4:56 PM today, on Kaozuo Street, a Beast Tamer with a Ghost Ring King..."

It was still the exact same news.

Little Treasure watched silently.

"Yap yap?"

Yabao sensed that something was a little off with Little Treasure. He came over to his Tamer's side, lowering his voice as he let out a cry, asking if Little Treasure was currently in a bad mood.

Even you can tell, so how could it be good... Qiao Sang likewise lowered her voice and said: "It seems so."

"Yap yap?" Yabao was puzzled.

Hasn't his innocence already been proven?

"Yap yap!"

After speaking, he seemed to think of something. Coming to a sudden realization, he subconsciously raised his voice and let out a cry, asking if it was because that fellow hadn't been caught.

"That should only be one of the reasons..." Qiao Sang speculated.

To be honest, she felt that more of it was because Little Treasure had been effortlessly defeated in broad daylight, and then it was broadcasted everywhere across various news channels on television.

One had to know that although Little Treasure usually wore a playful smile and loved playing more than training, he was exceptionally serious during matches and wanted to win.

She knew he enjoyed the feeling of being cheered for by everyone after a victory.

Enjoyment represented caring.

In other words, he felt he had lost face.

Just as she was thinking, the television turned off.

Without making a sound, Little Treasure floated towards the door.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure turned his head, tears welling in his eyes and mucus still hanging from his nose, yet his expression was completely filled with determination.

He was going to train!

Having spoken, he turned around and was about to continue floating outside.

"Wait." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun xun!

Little Treasure turned his head again, letting out a determined cry indicating don't stop me!

Why would I stop you if you want to train... Qiao Sang complained inwardly, then spoke slowly: "Your energy consumption is too slow training alone. If you want to consume energy quickly, you still have to battle. I'll have Yabao and the others accompany you."

"Yap yap!"

Yabao let out a cry, indicating he had no problem.

Without a second word, Lubao leaped out of the water tank and walked towards the door, using her actions to show that she had no problem either.

"Gang jian."

Gangbao nodded, indicating it was fine.

"Qing qing."

Qingbao cast a sympathetic glance at Little Treasure and let out a cry, indicating that since everyone was going, she would go too.

Little Treasure's body stiffened. After glancing across Yabao, Lubao, and Gangbao, he recalled the news of his defeat being repeatedly broadcasted. Gritting his teeth, he nodded with an expression as if he were bravely marching to his execution: "Xun xun!"

Very soon, Little Treasure and the others left one after another.

"Didn't you say you were going?" Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao and asked.

"Qing qing..."

Qingbao was in low spirits, the wind around her body constantly blowing. She let out a cry, indicating that her going didn't seem to have much effect anyway, since Yabao and the others were already helping with the battles.

She had noticed just now that Little Treasure didn't even look at her when he left, clearly not taking her combat strength seriously.

"Who says the effect isn't big..."

Before Qiao Sang could finish her words, an earth-shattering tragic cry of "Xun xun!" suddenly echoed from outside.

"Qing qing!"

Qingbao's spirit instantly rallied. She let out a cry, indicating you're absolutely right, I should go.

After speaking, she couldn't wait to turn into a wind and float outside, looking as if she were rushing to join a spectacle.

Qiao Sang: ... No, I haven't even said anything yet...

"Gui gui?"

At this moment, the Guinauke sitting in front of the computer let out a cry.

I almost forgot about you... Qiao Sang turned her head to look at it, fell silent for a moment, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

The Guinauke didn't speak. It merely turned around to clatter out a line of characters on the computer, then pointed towards the screen.

Qiao Sang walked over to take a look: [Do you still need to continue searching?]

To think you can even type... Qiao Sang said without a second thought: "Yes."

The Guinauke spoke no superfluous words, lifting its claw as it prepared to reach into the screen.

"Wait a moment first." Qiao Sang said as she pulled out her phone, searched for a black miniature shrinking bracelet, placed it on the desk, and said: "Aside from the Clothes-Changing Totem, you can look for pets or humans wearing this style of lightweight miniature bracelet."

The hair accessory Little Treasure lost had already been recovered, so it was no longer possible to search using the hair accessory. She had noticed that after the Clothes-Changing Totem's belongings were all gone, only a black miniature shrinking bracelet was left.

The bracelet was a big brand and the style was a classic model that existed even before she went to Planet Hyperspace, so it wasn't hard to find.

"Gui gui."

The Guinauke nodded.

Subsequently, it thought of something and typed out four characters: [I understand]

"Sorry for the trouble." Qiao Sang said.

The Guinauke typed again: [No trouble, it's all work. Just remember to top up the final balance of 9 credits at the end.]

Qiao Sang: ...

The Guinauke's claw reached into the screen.

At the same time, the phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up to look. It was Teacher Michaela calling, and she chose to connect: "Hello?"

The voice from that end came through: "Where are you right now?"

"At home." Qiao Sang said.

"Wait for me."

Du du... The call hung up.

In the next second, Teacher Michaela's voice rang out: "I've arrived."

Qiao Sang came to the living room.

Michaela sat on the sofa, looked at her, and went straight to the point: "I saw the news."

Fortunately, Little Treasure isn't here right now... Qiao Sang came over to the single sofa beside her and sat down, sighing and groaning:

"Just like the news said, and it was also exactly as I guessed. Those things were all done by the Clothes-Changing Totem transforming into Little Treasure's appearance. But although we found it, it's a pity it was on the street. There were too many people around, so we didn't dare unleash skills with particularly large destructive power, and some of Little Treasure's control-type skills completely failed to bind it..."

Saying this, Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked: "Teacher, since you watched the news, you should have also seen the frame where the Clothes-Changing Totem controlled Little Treasure to its side. At that time, I tried to retract Little Treasure into the Beast Taming Book, so why couldn't I retract him?"

"That's because a binding constraint was unleashed from the Clothes-Changing Totem's hand. Pets pinched in its hand cannot be summoned back." Michaela explained.

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang came to a sudden realization.

Binding, a high-rank Psychic-type skill, binds an opponent. The bound target cannot move, cannot use any movement-type skills, and cannot be recalled by the Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang fell silent for a few seconds and said: "It seems this Clothes-Changing Totem is already very familiar with the world here."

Michaela agreed:

"This Clothes-Changing Totem is not simple. It can speak human language and knows how to use binding to prevent a pet from being recalled by its Beast Tamer, it's very different from ordinary wild pets. It's not your fault it escaped this time, it is indeed very shrewd."

Qiao Sang sighed: "I wonder when the next time we find it will be."

"You don't need to look for it anymore." Michaela said. 

"I initially thought it was a shiny pet that looked just like the Ghost Ring King, so I was relatively interested. Now that you've found the Clothes-Changing Totem, forced it to reveal its true form under everyone's noses, and also cleared the Ghost Ring King's name, this matter is considered concluded. You don't need to do this task anymore."

"What you need to do now is to constantly check the Ghost Ring King's energy status, as well as have the Abyssal Falcon train in Abyssal Bite."

"I'm afraid it won't do if I don't do it." Qiao Sang said.

Michaela looked over: "Why?"

Just as her words fell, a massive Boom! rang out from outside, immediately followed by Little Treasure's tragic cry of "Xun xun!"

Qiao Sang let out a sigh and said: "Right now, Little Treasure is determined to become stronger and wants to catch the Clothes-Changing Totem to wipe out his past disgrace. I can't stop him."

As a Beast Tamer, how could you not stop a pet? I see you just don't want to stop him... Michaela turned her head to glance at the training field through the floor-to-ceiling window and said: "I understand. Suit yourself."

Qiao Sang tested the waters: "Then the task you assigned..."

Michaela knew what she wanted to ask and said with a smile in her tone: "As long as you catch the Clothes-Changing Totem within the timeframe I specified, the credits will still be given to you."

The credits spent looking for the Guinauke weren't in vain... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did the Dean look for you for?" Michaela changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but perk up: "She said she applied for a spot for me to enter the Energy Bath, in one week."

Michaela said calmly: "As long as a member of the Imperial Class makes a massive contribution, they can inherently obtain a chance to go to the Energy Bath. Your contracting a legendary pet can completely be considered a massive contribution, you indeed can go to the Energy Bath."

Saying this, she took a glance at Qiao Sang: "The Dean sure looks after you, personally applying for you."

Qiao Sang nodded in agreement: "Indeed, she also gave me 10,000 credits."

"How many credits?" Michaela froze for a moment.

"10,000 credits." Qiao Sang repeated.

Michaela fell silent.

After a few seconds, she changed the subject once more: "I heard you also took a trip to the police station today."

Qiao Sang gave an "mm": "It was about the Clothes-Changing Totem's matter, helping the police assist with the investigation."

She thought of something and began to gossip:

"Did you see the little girl who was always next to me in the news? You wouldn't know, but the Clothes-Changing Totem has actually been staying together with this little girl during this period, occasionally even transforming into her appearance to help her skip school. Didn't the information you gave me say that the 'Ghost Ring King' shattered a certain school's glass and stole a certain student's homework? That school is the school the little girl is at, and the homework was also the little girl's. It only did these things because the little girl said she didn't want to go to school."

The Clothes-Changing Totem was hard to catch, but the associated little girl was brought to the police station with ease. Even if she was unwilling to speak, she had zero secrets in front of a pet that could make people tell the truth.

Qiao Sang had unraveled the Ghost Ring King's identity, so the people at the police station didn't hide it from her either.

Hearing this news, she even looked it up and found that after the school's glass broke for no reason back then, the school indeed gave several days of holiday to investigate the cause.

Michaela pricked up her ears, listening seriously, and then gossiped in a flat tone: "I also heard that later on, a man wearing only boxer shorts ran into the police station."

"That was the girl's dad." Qiao Sang explained.

"School today was attended by the Clothes-Changing Totem on the girl's behalf, but unfortunately it ran into me. Initially, I didn't perceive anything amiss, seeing the girl communicating with her dad in human language, so I went back. Later I realized something was wrong, and when I looked for her again, the one I found was the real girl."

"The Clothes-Changing Totem also felt something was wrong with the situation because I had initially brought the Ghost Ring King to look for it. So later when I found the little girl, it knocked her dad unconscious and stripped off all his clothes to wear on itself to impersonate him."

After listening, Michaela smiled and said a sentence: "It seems it can also spatial shift. Since the relationship between the Clothes-Changing Totem and the little girl is so good, you might be able to find it based on the little girl's tracks."

The police should already be doing this... Qiao Sang took a glance outside the window and said: "It's rare for Little Treasure to be inspired with the mind to train, I'll still let him train well during this period first."

Otherwise, even if they found the Clothes-Changing Totem, they wouldn't be able to beat it.

Little Treasure training so desperately was probably because he wanted to personally defeat the Clothes-Changing Totem.

Michaela dropped this topic, turning around to say: "It's time to buy the Aggression Potion."

Qiao Sang nodded: "Understood."

Just after she finished speaking, another massive Boom echoed from outside.

Qiao Sang looked towards Little Treasure, who had fallen to the ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said: "I'll head over first."

Open-air training field.

With a massive Boom, a shockwave holding flames blasted in the high sky.

Little Treasure dodged in time, teleporting to a place a hundred meters away.

Yet right at this moment, hundreds of purple sharp blades attacked.

Little Treasure teleported again.

When he appeared at a location dozens of meters away, a giant ice spike resembling a small mountain smashed heavily onto his body.

Bang!

"Xun xun..."

Little Treasure was smashed down to the ground, seeing stars, and directly fainted.

"Qing qing..."

Qingbao half-covered her eyes with her claws in the high sky, somewhat unable to bear to watch.

The ice mountain vanished.

The gem on Lubao's brow emanated light.

A deep blue light enveloped Little Treasure.

"Xun xun!"

Before long, Little Treasure floated up again full of energy, indicating to continue.

At this moment, Qiao Sang walked over and said: "Don't continue first."

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure looked at his Tamer, letting out a determined cry indicating that he had absolutely no problem and could continue.

"That's not what I mean." Qiao Sang said.

"With this style of battling, you can only use teleportation to dodge back and forth. You fall before even using your other skills much, it doesn't serve the purpose of consuming energy."

Saying this, she looked at Yabao and the others, instructing: "Your attacking frequency needs to be a bit slower, so Little Treasure has a bit of a chance to counterattack and unleash other skills."

"Yap yap!"

"Lu di."

"Gang jian."

Yabao and the others nodded, indicating they understood.

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure and smiled: "You can continue now."

Having spoken, she turned around to go back.

Little Treasure: ...
