Chapter 1083: Little Thunder Dragon VS Electric Rabid Dog (2 in 1)

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Did Xiao Xunbao also go to participate in the Competition?”

“Xiao Xunbao ~” Xiao Xunbao nodded.

“There’s nothing strange about it,” Mi Jiala said. “Wild Pet Beasts and already Contracted Pet Beasts can both participate in this Competition. The champion decided at the end is highly recognized by the public, and there are generous prizes. Pet Beasts that meet the level requirements will basically want to participate.”

Even wild Pet Beasts are registering across cities to participate in the Competition. It seems this Competition is indeed very popular… Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and said,

“You also have a good Competition today. If you compete in the afternoon, I’ll come over after Xiaoting Dragon’s morning Competition ends.”

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Without the unpleasant smell, Xiao Xunbao was in a good mood and nodded.

However, Xiao Xunbao’s eyelids twitched, and she cast a look at Xiao Xunbao that said, “What should we do if the Yu Beast Master comes?”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression didn’t change, and he responded with his eyes: If the Competition is really in the afternoon, why not just go play in the morning?

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “Why didn’t I think of that?” and secretly gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Xunbao accepted it happily.

After Space Movement to Liusha City, and personally seeing Xiao Xunbao and Xiao Xunbao leave, Qiao Sang and Teacher Mi Jiala arrived at the entrance of Mu Lian Arena under Pen Jiami’s Space Movement.

Almost the moment they appeared, the people and Pet Beasts around them all focused their gaze on them.

When Xiao Xunbao, that attention-grabbing Pet, was around, I didn’t have this kind of回头率. It seems everyone saw yesterday’s Competition… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she headed to the fast lane in the contestant area.

Suddenly, a two-legged lizard-like Pet with a microphone and a man carrying a camera ran over quickly.

“Dudu?” The two-legged lizard-like Pet asked, then handed over the microphone.

Do I look like I understand… Qiao Sang was a little silent.

Just as Ya Bao and Steel Treasure were about to translate, the two-legged lizard-like Pet showed an expression of “I almost forgot,” turned its head, took the camera, and then handed the microphone in its hand to the man.

The man took it naturally and asked,

“I’m a reporter from the Yu Beast Wind and Cloud Channel. May I ask you and Xiaoting Dragon a few questions?”

Aren’t you a cameraman? How did you become a reporter again… Qiao Sang complained inwardly and said,

“You can.”

“What do you want to say about Xiaoting Dragon defeating the Fire Shell Snail yesterday, despite being at a lower level?” the man asked.

“Nothing,” Qiao Sang shook her head.

The man: “…Didn’t you say you could answer questions?”

Qiao Sang said sincerely: “I really have nothing to say about the question you just asked.”

The man: “…”

“Dudu,” the two-legged lizard-like Pet said, carrying the camera.

After listening, the man pointed the microphone at Xiaoting Dragon and asked,

“What do you want to say about winning against the Fire Shell Snail yesterday, despite being at a lower level?”

Xiaoting Dragon glanced at him, turned its head away, looking disdainful to answer.

“Xiaoting Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xiaoting Xiaoting,” Xiaoting Dragon then turned its head back, reluctantly called out, indicating that it also had nothing to say, as it was already yesterday’s Competition.

“Dudu.”

The two-legged lizard-like Pet translated.

The man showed an embarrassed expression and asked again,

“How did you two meet?”

“Xiaoting Xiaoting,” Xiaoting Dragon called out without thinking.

She chose me before I was even born.

Clearly not wanting to answer, but patiently answering others’ questions because of Qiao Sang… Mi Jiala watched this scene from the side, recalling her own interviews when she was young, and the scene of the “Debt-collecting Dragon” looking impatient and walking away, feeling a mix of emotions for a moment.

At this moment, the phone vibrated continuously.

Mi Jiala took it out and saw that it was a series of voice messages from “Debt-collecting Dragon,” and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

She didn’t listen to the voice messages, directly transferred a sum of money, and then put her phone back into her bag.

However, this time, the phone was still vibrating.

Mi Jiala took out her phone.

It was a call.

Caller ID: Debt-collecting Dragon.

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then went to a place further away from Qiao Sang, answered the phone, and said,

“Dragon King?”

…

Half an hour later.

Inside Mu Lian Arena.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition!” the Host shouted loudly on the stage.

“After four days of intense Competition, we have already decided the top 16 contestants!”

“These past few days, we have witnessed the tacit understanding between humans and Pet Beasts, and also seen that some humans and Pet Beasts do not have such a tacit understanding. I believe that after the Competition, everyone will reconsider their contractual relationship. However, tacit understanding can be cultivated through interaction, and this is one of the goals of our Competition: to let everyone discover the problems between themselves and their Pet Beasts…”

The Host rambled on for a long time, clearly speaking much more than in the previous rounds of the Competition.

After about ten minutes, he said,

“Today’s top 16 to top 8 Competition, we will no longer adopt a unified battle method, but rather have contestants go on stage one by one to decide the top 8.”

In short, it was because there were too few contestants.

The junior and intermediate Pet Beast Competitions are short in duration. If all contestants compete at the same time, even if each battle arena has a camera, it wouldn’t take much time. Therefore, to extend the live broadcast time, having contestants go on stage in groups is the best option.

The next few rounds of Competition would be the same.

The on-site supervisor had already told all contestants about this when they entered.

Qiao Sang came to the front row of the contestant area and waited quietly.

The contestant team list was drawn by guest lottery.

Fu Jian drew “Qiao Sang, Xiaoting Dragon,” and Tie Daoyi drew “Yu Shi Ke, Electric Hound.”

Electric Hound, an intermediate Electric-type Pet, has a strong attraction to fast-moving objects, so it often chases vehicles or Pet Beasts everywhere on the road… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with information about her opponent’s Pet, and she sighed inwardly:

It’s another intermediate Pet…

In the last Competition, Xiaoting Dragon was lucky to activate the Multiple Scales characteristic, plus the opponent actively cast a flame wall around himself, which enhanced the power of the attack and won the Competition.

Now, all the remaining contestants probably know that Xiaoting Dragon has the Multiple Scales characteristic, so this Competition might not be so lucky.

There are so few intermediate Pet Beasts in total, how can I be so unlucky to encounter two in a row before even entering the top ten…

Xiaoting Bao hung on Qiao Sang’s neck, not showing much interest in its opponent, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

The Competition proceeded in an orderly manner.

Battles between junior and intermediate Pet Beasts were very fast, usually ending within five minutes.

Qiao Sang watched with great interest.

Although the battling Pet Beasts were of low levels and the commands issued by the Yu Beast Master were unremarkable, these Pet Beasts were new and exciting, as they had never been seen on Blue Star and Super Dormant Star before.

Soon, after a green monkey-like Pet fell to the ground, the Host said,

“Next up are contestant Qiao Sang and contestant Xiaoting Dragon, as well as contestant Yu Shi Ke and contestant Electric Hound!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Qiao Sang brought Xiaoting Dragon to the stage and stood firm.

A man with black hair and black eyes, appearing to be around 20 years old, brought a dog-like Pet, about eighty centimeters tall, mostly yellow in color, with short limbs and a tail shaped like a lightning bolt, to the other side and stood firm.

In the audience, people began to discuss:

“How come Xiaoting Dragon is matched with an intermediate Pet again?”

“Bad luck, I guess, but it’s not necessarily a loss. Didn’t Xiaoting Dragon win against the Fire Shell Snail yesterday under Qiao Sang’s command?”

“Electric Hound seems stronger than Fire Shell Snail, right?”

“Contestant Qiao Sang is really unlucky. Dragon-type Pet Beasts are generally arrogant. Wasn’t there a news story last time about a talented Yu Beast Master who contracted a Dragon-type Pet Beast, then lost a battle Competition, and that Dragon-type Pet Beast didn’t break the contract but moved to another place to live alone? During mediation, that Dragon-type Pet Beast directly said its Yu Beast Master was too weak and didn’t deserve it. Do you think if contestant Qiao Sang loses this Competition, Xiaoting Dragon will still be contracted with her?”

“Definitely, right? Qiao Sang looks like a genius too, otherwise Xiaoting Dragon wouldn’t have been able to win against the Fire Shell Snail yesterday. And looking at her aura, she’s clearly from a wealthy family. Dragon-type Pet Beasts look for Yu Beast Masters, first for money, second for talent, and she has both.”

“Not necessarily. Didn’t that talented Yu Beast Master in the news also meet all the requirements?”

“Don’t forget, this Xiaoting Dragon is a Pet Beast from Blue Star, its personality might be a bit better than our Dragon-type Pet Beasts here.”

Amidst the discussions, a “3” appeared on the field.

Accompanied by the constant changes of the mechanical voice:

“3, 2, 1, Competition begins.”

Xiaoting Dragon and Electric Hound almost simultaneously had yellow electric arcs appear on their bodies, converging into one and striking forward.

Qiao Sang estimated the power of Electric Hound’s Discharge and made a decisive decision:

“Dodge.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaoting Dragon instinctively moved quickly to the side.

Two yellow lightning bolts, one thick and one thin, collided in mid-air. The thicker yellow lightning quickly overwhelmed the thinner yellow lightning, striking where Xiaoting Dragon had been.

“Bang!”

The lightning struck nothing.

“Electro-optic Flash,” Yu Shi Ke said.

“Discharge around you,” Qiao Sang said almost 0.1 seconds after the opponent gave the command.

Electro-optic Flash has extremely strong explosive power. With Xiaoting Dragon’s speed, it can’t dodge it at all. The best method is to release lightning when the opponent approaches.

Electric Hound exerted force with its four limbs, and a white light suddenly appeared on its body, dashing forward like a white lightning bolt.

At the same time, yellow electric arcs appeared on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

Just when the “white lightning” was only about three meters away from Xiaoting Dragon, it suddenly jumped up, the white light disappeared, revealing Electric Hound’s figure.

At the same time, yellow electric arcs instantly condensed on its body.

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted, and she shouted,

“Move!”

Xiaoting Dragon moved its body, trying to move.

However, the speed of the lightning was too fast.

Xiaoting Dragon had just moved its body when a yellow lightning force shot out from Electric Hound’s body, hitting Xiaoting Dragon with a “bang.”

“Xiaoting Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon let out a cry of pain.

Yu Shi Ke’s face flashed with surprise.

“Electric Hound.”

Electric Hound showed a triumphant expression of “I still hit it.”

It actually forcefully converted Electro-optic Flash into Discharge midway… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably excited.

This was a feeling that hadn’t appeared in the previous rounds of the Competition.

Her gaze fell on Yu Shi Ke’s face, and she became even more certain of her thought:

The sudden conversion of the skill just now was Electric Hound’s own idea!

Guest area.

“Electric Hound jumped into the air while performing Electro-optic Flash, forcefully converting the skill into Discharge and successfully attacking Xiaoting Dragon. I don’t know if this was a plan Yu Shi Ke had decided on early, or if Electric Hound came up with it on the fly,” Fu Jian exclaimed.

“No matter whose idea it was, I can only say, well done.”

“Tie Tie.”

Tie Daoyi nodded.

Feodor said,

“I think it was Electric Hound’s own idea. It must have seen the electric arcs appearing on Xiaoting Dragon’s body and understood contestant Qiao Sang’s intention, so it converted a close-range attack into a long-range attack.”

On Yan Tian Star, in battles between Professional Beast Tamers, many Pet Beasts will temporarily change their attack methods according to the battle situation, and the effect is often very good.

Qiao Sang finally met such a Pet… Mi Jiala thought to herself.

In interstellar Competitions, Professional Beast Tamers from Yan Tian Star are the most troublesome.

And their troublesome points are often with their Pet Beasts.

Whether it’s Blue Star or other planets, if a Pet Beast doesn’t follow the Yu Beast Master’s commands, the result is usually failure.

But it’s not like that on Yan Tian Star.

Because the Pet Beasts here grow up under the influence of battle Competitions, they have keen combat intuition and reaction abilities, and can also change their original actions immediately based on the opponent’s movements.

Their situation can lead to unexpected results in Competitions.

And these results are almost always positive.

On the field.

“Electric Hound…”

Electric Hound, who had been triumphant, suddenly changed its expression and frowned, looking at its opponent in the distance.

The Xiaoting Dragon, who had been screaming, suddenly stopped its cries and blinked under the power of the lightning, as if it had encountered something it couldn’t understand.

The yellow lightning dissipated, and its body was unharmed.

“Xiaoting Xiaoting!”

Xiaoting Dragon was first stunned, then yellow electric arcs quickly appeared on its body, converging into one and striking towards Electric Hound.

The power of the lightning looked even stronger than before.

This… Yu Shi Ke realized something was wrong.

Lightning Rod characteristic! Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up at the sight.

Pet Beasts with the Lightning Rod characteristic can be immune to Electric-type moves, and can also increase their special attack power when hit by Electric-type skills!

I didn’t expect Xiaoting Dragon to have this characteristic.

In that case, what’s there to fear from Electric Hound, an Electric-type Pet!

As her thoughts flickered, Electric Hound quickly dodged, avoiding the lightning attack.

“Continuous Discharge!” Qiao Sang issued the command.

“Xiaoting Xiaoting!”

Yellow electric arcs appeared on Xiaoting Dragon’s body, continuously striking towards Electric Hound.

Electric Hound, realizing Xiaoting Dragon’s characteristic, did not counterattack immediately, dodging clumsily.

This Xiaoting Dragon actually has the Lightning Rod characteristic. Could it be that in this Competition, it will successfully challenge a higher level again… Everyone stared intently at the field.

“Electro-optic Flash!” Yu Shi Ke shouted loudly.

“Electric Hound!”

Electric Hound transformed into a white lightning bolt, dodging left and right, moving quickly to avoid the yellow lightning bolts striking down, and charged towards Xiaoting Dragon.

Guest area.

“Xiaoting Dragon has the Lightning Rod characteristic, so Electric Hound’s Electric-type moves are ineffective against it and will instead increase Xiaoting Dragon’s special attack,” Fu Jian said.

“The Electro-optic Flash that Electric Hound is currently using is a Normal-type skill, which allows it to dodge attacks with high-speed movement and also seize the opportunity to launch an attack. Contestant Yu Shi Ke’s command is very suitable.”
