Chapter 626: Chapter 620: School Team Roster
“`
Now, two pathsy before David Jones. One was to kill the goose thatid the golden eggs, abandoning a heavenly and earthly spiritual item for the perfect evolution of Rainbow.
The other was to invest arge amount of Pet Resources in the Bodhi Tree, to cultivate it to maturity in the shortest time possible and thus obtain more Bodhi Milk.
As for the Bodhi Flower which bloomed only once a century, and the Bodhi Seed which bore fruit only once every three hundred years, David chose to ignore them entirely, as such a lengthy period was enough to let him be an Epic or even Legendary level powerhouse.
David’s initial thought was the first path, to exchange resources for time, sacrificing the Soul-Refining Bodhi Tree to enhance Rainbow’s Psychic Level.
But when he thought about the aura of green vitality he had previously enjoyed and the gift that Seven Rites Bodhi had given to Daphne, David couldn’t help but choose the second path.
“It’s just some minor resources!” David’s eyes gradually became resolute.
After all, he was now raising five Dragon Pets that consumed resources, so he didn’t mind having one more big spender swallowing gold.
As for the issue with resources, he could solve part of the gap by winning the national championship and securing some corporate endorsements, and maintain the rest of the Pet Resources by selling elixirs.
“Hmm?” (Are you unhappy?)<div>
Rainbow, who had been strutting in front of its buddies, round and round, noticed something was off with its Trainer.
“No, I’m thinking about the nationalpetition,” David said with a smile.
“Hmm!” (Don’t worry, leave it to me! I’ll pulverize them all!)
Rainbow vigorously waved its dragon w as if taking an oath.
“Then I will be counting on you then.”
After rubbing Rainbow’s head a couple of times, David turned his gaze towards Lolo and the Flower Spirit, who was toiling amongst the grass, her budded hair now clearly visible.
“The watering and weeding of the Bodhi Tree for this period will be entrusted to both of you!”
“Chirp chirp!”
“Bath!”
The two Pets cheerfully responded.
To them, taking care of the mesona was not only a job but also one of the few pleasures in their lives.
Once David had arranged the training tasks for his Pets, he took Loona and headed for the Purple Haze Club to check out the Rosewood Team that had not been formed for long.
After all, the nationalpetition was about tomence, and he needed to make early contact with his future teammates.
…
In a simple yet elegant room, on an exquisite and luxurious sofa, sat two people. One was the club’s social officer, Margaret Yule, and the other was Jackson Grant, the vice-captain of the Rosewood Team.
Grant’s brow furrowed as he looked at the list of team members in his hands and then at Sanne and Jedbrook Harvey opposite him, whose faces showed some tension. He almost couldn’t help wanting to explode with a curse.
Because thepetition was being held in Rosewood City this time, the school’s senior leaders were particrly concerned about this year’s nationalpetition ranking.
The Battle Department’s Legendary Beast Tamer, Lawrence Boris, had stated publicly that if anyone could break Peony Colledge’s nine-win streak this year, he wouldn’t mind taking on another personal disciple.
What did it mean to be a Legendary Disciple?<div>
With this title, you could leap right into high society, sit at the same table as the heirs to the top-grade Beast Control Powers, and discuss things as equals.
“`
Even Epic warriors had to give way and show respect when encountering you, for to do otherwise would be to slight the face of a Legendary warrior.
Many considered this matter to be a rumor, as taking on apprentices wasn’t such a simple affair for the Legendary, and Lawrence Boris didn’t mind taking another direct disciple, but that didn’t mean he would choose from the team members.<div>
But as the matter grew bigger and bigger, Director Boris not only didn’te forward to rebut it but actually indirectly affirmed the authenticity of the rumors, which drove the students of Rosewood Collegepletely insane.
During this time, Trainers who wanted to join the Rosewood team came in an endless stream.
And David Jones was the team captain designated by Principal Easton, with the right to select and invite students to join the team and participate in the nationalpetition.
In order not to fail the trust of Captain David Jones and to form a strong enough team, Jackson Grant nearly developed dark circles from poring over the personnel list in the past few days, only to end up stabbing the captain in the back by inserting two connections into the team.
One of the two was a first-year junior, at the initial stage of Arcane Star ss III, and the other a third-year junior, at the initial stage of Arcane Star ss IV. Their Talent was not bad, but they were far from reaching the standard to participate in the nationalpetition and could even be a vulnerability for the team.
If not for knowing that David Jones had already broken through to be a King Trainer, Jackson Grant would rather forfeit the game than take such a lineup into battle and fall victim to unearned usations of using power for personal gain.
While Jackson Grant was feeling frustrated, he was seated next to two males and one female.
One was the once-first-ce warrior of Rosewood with an imposing reputation, Fred Hoyle, and another was the current third-ce holder on the Myrtle List, Richard Goodwin, a dual genius in beast taming and elixir concocting, who many students jokingly called “Little David Jones.”
Thest one was Ning Jade, who defeated the talented young Samuel Brown, had high poprity among the males, and reached the fifth spot on the Myrtle List.
In these times, which Trainer entering Rosewood College didn’t have their own pride?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
From the seating arrangements and the cool expressions, Sanne could tell that she and Jedbrook Harvey, the two connection-based entries, weren’t exactly wee by their teammates!
This scene was something she had mentally prepared for the moment she took advantage of the backdoor; to put it unpleasantly, everyone was set to win lying down, so who could be more noble than anyone else?
After all, even before Captain David Jones became a King, he could defeat geniusesparable to Kings across ranks, and although he had only recently broken through, he must be one of the strongest among the King Trainers.<div>
And the National Trainer Cooperative Competition hadn’t seen a King-level powerhouse in decades; wasn’t this just Captain David Jones’s killing spree? It would be as easy as pie for him to fight seven alone!
At this moment, Sanne, who was contemting that the overall situation was set, didn’t know that Peony College was willing to pay an even greater price for the honor of a ten-year winning streak.
“Tsk, no wonder some say that Rosewood College is going downhill year by year. When did it be the norm for an Arcane Star ss III Trainer to represent the school in the nationalpetition?” Fred Hoyle said with a sneer.
He admitted David Jones was indeed stronger than himself, but he disliked how David Jones allowed a weak first-year to take up a precious spot for the sake of benefits.
Upon hearing this, Sanne pursed her lips, a bit incredulous.
What was happening? The once sincere, steady, and generous former Rosewood top schr could actually say such things!
Although she knew many geniuses’ reputations were lifted by others’ praise and were actually quite hollow inside, Fred Hoyle’spletely off-the-mark remarks still shocked Sanne.
“This was Chairman Chen’s decision; if you have doubts, you canmunicate with Chairman Chen. There’s no need to make a federal case out of it,” Margaret Yule spoke earnestly.
The one who chose the team members was Jackson Grant, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin David Jones’s reputation using this issue.
Even though she knew that without David Jones’s approval, senior Jackson definitely wouldn’t dare decide the team lineup rashly.
“You keep saying Chairman Chen, but when speaking to your senior, you don’t even utter a single courteous word, truly fitting for David Jones’s people,” Fred Hoyle chuckled, turning his head to one side, his calm voiceced with a hint of disdain.
Hearing this, Margaret Yule immediately stood up, her eyes, filled with a touch of anger, fixed on Fred Hoyle.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.<div>
