“Holy shit, that move was way too slick!”
Someone shouted, breaking the silence, and a wave of clamor instantly surged through the spectator stands.
“She won? She won just like that?!”
“The only High-rank pet among the high schoolers in our province lost just like that?!”
“Didn't they say Ruan Yunwen had a chance to take first place in Zhehai Province this year?”
“Directly hypnotized and then dragged out of bounds, freaking legendary...”
“I wouldn't feel much if it were a Mid-rank pet dragging another Mid-rank pet, but a Mid-rank pet dragging a High-rank pet out feels surreal, especially with the size difference between those two...”
“Overall, the rhythm of this match was completely controlled by this kid from Shengshui High... By the way, what was the cutoff score for Shengshui High last year?”
At the same time, the bullet chat on the official platform's livestream instantly flooded the entire screen.
【Hahahahaha, so you can actually do it this way!】
【66666, I never expected this move in a million years】
【Holy shit?! This girl is awesome!】
【Big shot is legendary!】
【One minute, I want all the data on this Ghost-type pet】
【This Ghost-type pet looks so happy, I really want to send it to work for me】
【Ahhhhh! Does this mean we can see Ice Lugia in the next match!】
【Qiao Sang's inner monologue: "Look at you lot, acting like you've never seen the world!"】
...
At the Kainan Pet Battle Arena.
In the leadership area of the first row of the spectator stands.
Wang Weidou straightened his back and laughed loudly, “Principal Huang, it seems your school still has a great opportunity to experience the strength of our school's student, Qiao Sang.”
Huang Renbiao remained silent.
Wang Weidou placed a hand on his shoulder, continuing to laugh with a "best buds" expression, “I only hope the students from your school don't lose too early before they get to meet Qiao Sang.”
Huang Renbiao's mouth twitched; he suddenly understood the urge to curse.
The school produced one Qiao Sang, and look at how this guy was gloating.
Seeing Huang Renbiao looking defeated, Wang Weidou felt incredibly refreshed!
After so many years, he finally had the chance to hold his head high!
Wang Weidou said in an extremely pleased tone, “What would happen if the three from your school all got to experience Qiao Sang from our school?”
What was the meaning of this tone? He was saying that Ding Yanjing and the other two would all lose if they met Qiao Sang, right... Huang Renbiao took a deep breath, unable to control his emotions any longer, and was just about to speak.
Right then, the Principal of Wucai Middle School, who had been silent beside them, spoke faintly
“Principal Wang, the match between your school's Qiao Sang and our school's Ruan Yunwen isn't over yet.”
Wang Weidou: “...”
Good grief, he almost forgot the Principal of Wucai Middle School was right there...
Wang Weidou stopped talking. Aside from when he faced the crowd from Litan Beast Taming High, he considered his public image to be quite wise and friendly.
Why'd you stop? Keep going... Huang Renbiao glanced at Wang Weidou, feeling much better.
...
In the second match, Ruan Yunwen sent out the Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise, while Qiao Sang once again sent out Little Treasure Hunter.
In response, the livestream platform was filled with complaints.
Most of the people watching the stream were from the Guwu region, who had specifically searched online to see Ice Lugia.
The platform had barely managed not to crash, and yet they hadn't seen Ice Lugia.
However, despite the complaints in the bullet chat, the number of viewers didn't decrease much.
It had to be said that the slick maneuvers of this Ghost-type pet from the Yuhua region were quite attractive.
In this match, Ruan Yunwen's will to fight plummeted; she didn't react to Little Treasure Hunter's attacks as quickly as she had in the first match.
Whether the opponent was in top form or not was not within Qiao Sang's scope of consideration.
Competition is fair and cruel.
Once you step onto the field, no one cares if you're in the zone or if you're feeling unwell; you can only blame yourself for lacking sufficient psychological resilience and preparation.
Ruan Yunwen relied too heavily on Tonghua Xiao. Once Tonghua Xiao lost, regardless of whether the opponent was Qiao Sang, she felt that no matter how hard she tried, there was no longer any hope of winning.
With the opponent in such a state of mind, Qiao Sang let Little Treasure Hunter play freely, easily winning the second match.
Although the Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise had strong attack and defense power, its movement speed was extremely slow.
Facing a pet as elusive as Little Treasure Hunter, it was essentially a living target.
Little Treasure Hunter's weakness was also obvious: its defense was too weak. If it were hit once or twice by the Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise, it would definitely be finished.
But the prerequisite was that the attack had to hit.
After the battle began, Little Treasure Hunter directly used invisibility and teleportation to appear right in front of the Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise.
Because Ruan Yunwen didn't react immediately, the Twin-Tailed Land Tortoise was startled, and its already large eyes widened instantly. Little Treasure Hunter's eyes glowed with purple light, and it effortlessly hypnotized it.
As a Mid-rank pet, being hypnotized by a same-level Little Treasure Hunter using a Secret Art-level hypnosis technique meant it was impossible to wake up quickly.
After the referee came over to count down and it still hadn't woken up, the result of the match was announced.
Qiao Sang carried Little Treasure Hunter back to the spectator stands.
Almost everyone's gaze followed her position; for a moment, Qiao Sang had the illusion that she was the most dazzling person in the entire venue.
As soon as she sat down, Xu Yixuan said excitedly, “Qiao Sang, I knew you could win, but I never imagined you could use Treasure Hunter to sweep Ruan Yunwen 2-0. You have no idea, Ding Yanjing's face has turned completely black!”
“Hun?”
Little Treasure Hunter turned its head to stare at Xu Yixuan.
Was it strange that it won 2-0?
Xu Yixuan's body stiffened. It wasn't that she was afraid of Ghost-type pets, but she knew that Treasure Hunter had heard what she just said...
“She means she didn't know you could be this strong,” Qiao Sang said, petting Little Treasure Hunter's head.
“Hun~”
Little Treasure Hunter's eyes curved instantly, showing a happy expression.
Seeing this, Xu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He Datao said with sincere admiration from the side, “Qiao Sang, if I had your way with words, I could probably get a girlfriend even without the looks.”
Qiao Sang: “...”
I don't know if I'm good at talking, but it's a fact that you aren't...
Qiao Sang didn't continue watching the subsequent matches. Taking advantage of the time remaining before the Beast Taming Center closed, she used her phone to navigate to the location of the Kainan City Beast Taming Center.
The schools from Zhehai Province had just arrived yesterday, and many competing students would go to the Beast Taming Center for a full pet check-up. To keep a low profile, Qiao Sang chose to go today.
...
Kainan City Beast Taming Center.
First-floor information registration desk.
Several staff members were sitting at their respective workstations chatting.
When things weren't busy, chatting was very normal.
A female staff member with her hair in a bun sat in her chair, letting out a sigh-like breath and said
“So annoying, why do the working hours overlap with the competition time?”
A male staff member next to her with slightly curly hair said nonchalantly, “Even if it's the National Campus Beast Taming League, it's for high schoolers, not college students. What's there to see?”
“What do you know?” The female staff member with the bun glanced at him and said, “The only Beast Tamer in the world right now with a Flame Listening Hound is a high schooler, and she's among the competitors.”
Flame Listening Hound... The curly-haired male staff member froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up, “Isn't it simple if we want to see? Just ask for leave. How about it, want to go together?”
The female staff member with the bun sighed and refused, “No, if I take leave, my performance bonus for this month will be gone.”
After speaking, she looked up and lamented, “The miserable life of a corporate slave!”
If you're not going, I am... The curly-haired male staff member opened his phone, preparing to ask his supervisor for leave.
Just then, a crisp voice sounded in front of the window
“Hello, I'm here to update my pet's information.”
