"That's how it is. I've told you the truth. The decision is yours." Coach Guan took a sip of tea with an air of composure.
Cheng Huaijin observed Coach Guan's expression and felt that the Misty Cup must be quite challenging, but it also presented great opportunities; otherwise, Coach Guan would not have let her choose for herself.
She tentatively said, "Then I won't choose..."
Coach Guan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Cheng Huaijin added, "...That's impossible!" Although he really wanted to ask Coach Guan on the spot what this Mystery Cup was, in order not to look up some information on the forum afterward!
Coach Guan nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, this is a great opportunity. You might get some unexpected gains. I think you're quite lucky. Even Black Egg Beast can evolve into a Mega-Phantom! Very good, very good!"
Cheng Huaijin immediately said modestly, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Coach Guan's excellent teaching, hahaha. By the way, Coach Guan, could you take a look at Chao Huan for me?"
Coach Guan nodded: "Let me see it."
A blue light burst from the wristband mark, landing precisely on the table, and met Coach Guan's gaze.
"Huan!" Chao Huan was startled and immediately turned around and jumped onto Cheng Huaijin's head.
As for Cheng Huaijin, she was already used to it.
Coach Guan looked at it carefully and said happily, "Not bad, your Chaohuan looks very healthy and lively. Have you taken it to the pet center for a check-up?"
Cheng Huaijin poked Chao Huan's little feet and grinned, "Everything's been checked, I just wanted to report to Coach Guan, hehe~"
"Here you go, little girl." Coach Guan handed over a small ring.
Cheng Huaijin took it: "What is this?"
Coach Guan smiled and said, "Consider this a gift from me to congratulate you on winning the championship. This is a spatial storage device. Give it to Chaohuan, and it can use spatial abilities to store and retrieve items."
"Wow!" Cheng Huaijin exclaimed excitedly, "Can I do it?"
Before she could even try it on, Chaohuan snatched the ring, put it on her thumb, and excitedly shouted, "Huanhuan!"
Coach Guan gently flicked Cheng Huaijin's head: "Of course you can't. Only pets can use elements. Can you?"
"Of course not," Cheng Huaijin said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"Alright, go back to class. The Mist Cup doesn't start until winter break, so just continue with your school team training as usual until then."
"Okay! I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
The Misty Cup Beast Taming Challenge.
This is a beast taming competition open to all sectors of society. Anyone with a beast taming combatant qualification certificate issued by the Beast Tamer Alliance can participate.
Participants need to enter the Misty Forest as a group, collect resources and complete checkpoints according to the map, and complete more than 80% of the checkpoints. The first participant to complete the checkpoints and successfully reach the finish line and exit the Misty Forest wins the championship.
In addition, if a runner checks in more checkpoints than the runner who reaches the finish line first, the final ranking will be determined based on the coefficient calculated by the competition committee.
"Wow~" Cheng Huaijin said to Chao Huan, "Doesn't it look amazing?"
Chao Huan said with an air of seriousness, "Huan Huan!"
A human and a beast were huddled together, head to head, whispering amongst themselves.
"What are you two doing!" Fang Juexia chimed in, looking all mysterious.
"!!!" Both the human and the beast were startled. Chao Huan immediately burrowed into Cheng Huaijin's arms and looked at Fang Juexia in horror.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Fang Juexia said with a laugh. "So, Champion, what are you thinking about now? Need some advice from my Beast Taming Encyclopedia?"
Her eyebrows moved back and forth, making her look very lively.
"I can tell you, but you absolutely mustn't go around telling anyone." Cheng Huaijin thought Fang Juexia was a reliable person, so he told her about the Mist Cup.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Juexia frowned: "Coach Guan really wants you to participate? The Misty Cup, well..."
It turns out that the Mist Cup has two unique names: for a group of lucky people, it's called the "European Cup," and for a group of unlucky people, it's called the "African Cup."
"In other words, it's all about luck. If you're lucky, you'll make it to the finish line smoothly and might even find some good stuff in the Misty Forest. If you're unlucky... you'll be lucky to even get out of the Misty Forest, and if all else fails, you'll have to call for rescue," Fang Juexia said regretfully. "How do you think your luck is?"
"Hiss—" Cheng Huaijin began to think.
Was her luck good or bad? I guess... it was pretty good? Although she suffered a lot and had many frights along the way, the result was still quite good. She was probably chosen by heaven, hahaha.
Before she could even speak, Chao Huan next to her was already jumping around, calling out, "Huan Huan! Huan Huan!"
This queen has incredible luck!!!
"Pfft—" Cheng Huaijin, who could understand the meaning of the supernatural language, spat out a mouthful of water. "Where did you learn all this vocabulary?!"
