Chapter 1223: First, Earth Dragon (two in one)

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao spread out its paws and called out helplessly, indicating that Thunder Dragon had already slept for a whole day.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang nodded: “This is already the second day.”

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon showed an expression of disbelief and called out.

How could it have slept for so long?

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao picked up the freshly shed skin from the sofa and shook it, calling out, indicating that it was because Thunder Dragon had shed its skin.

“Thunder Dragon…”

Thunder Dragon looked at its shed skin and called out, indicating that shedding skin actually took so long.

Then it thought of something and called out again:

“Thunder Dragon?”

Does that mean today’s 200 points can’t be accumulated either?

After speaking, it looked at Xiao Xunbao with an apologetic expression.

Xiao Xunbao: “???”

Xiao Xunbao had a bad premonition.

The next second, the premonition came true.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out apologetically.

It seems that today I can only trouble you, Boss, to train more.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly raised its paws, made a ‘wait’ gesture, and called out, indicating that if they went out to find opponents for a match right now, there would actually still be time to accumulate 200 points.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon showed a “Really?” expression and called out.

Then let’s go quickly.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that they were leaving now, and then its eyes glowed blue.

“Wait,” Qiao Sang stopped them.

Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon looked over.

“Thunder Dragon just shed its skin and needs to adapt first before it can battle,” Qiao Sang said. “Don’t go to battle today.”

This was what she had just read in a book.

“That’s right,” Mi Jiala agreed from the side. “Any Pet that has just shed its skin needs an adaptation period, and the new skin will be in a tender state for a certain period, so its defense will be lowered, making it more prone to injury in battle. There will be no problem after the adaptation period.”

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon showed an “I understand” expression, then looked at Xiao Xunbao and called out apologetically.

It seems we can’t battle today. Boss, you go train.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“Ya Ya.” Ya Bao called out from the side, indicating that Xiao Xunbao should come with it, as it also needed to go back to training.

After speaking, it stepped towards the open-air training ground.

Qing Bao covered its mouth and laughed from the side.

Xiao Xunbao glared at Qing Bao, then turned its head, showing a “My life is so hard” expression, and followed behind Ya Bao.

Mi Jiala picked up her phone and said:

“I’ll make a call and have Ya Ke Lin come over to check Thunder Dragon’s body data.”

Every time a Pet sheds its skin, its body data will change to some extent. Yu Beast Masters who are not short on money will usually find a professional Trainer to conduct tests and change the formula of the Energy Pill to facilitate better development for the Pet.

It feels good not to have to worry about things… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said, “Okay.”

…

The next day, early morning.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Xunbao took Thunder Dragon and used Space Movement to a charging station.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out earnestly, indicating that because of Thunder Dragon, Boss had been training its main body for two days, and Thunder Dragon absolutely had to collect 200 points today.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon showed an “No problem” expression and called out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao showed a relieved expression, then its expression turned to worry, and it cried out loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Don’t be so foolish as to challenge eight opponents at once!

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon, already experienced, showed a firm expression and cooperated by calling out, indicating, “Boss, don’t try to persuade me, my mind is made up. I must challenge eight opponents.”

The surrounding Electric-type Pets all looked over, some sneering, some cold-eyed, some charging. It was hard to find an Electric-type Pet showing interest, but then another Electric-type Pet next to it whispered something, and the originally interested Pet instantly became uninterested and quickly left.

Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon performed for a long time, but not a single Electric-type Pet showed any willingness to battle.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon showed a confused expression and called out, indicating why none of them wanted to battle it anymore.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, showed a look of realization, and babbled out the news content it had seen yesterday.

Thunder Dragon showed an “So that’s how it is” expression, then called out worriedly:

“Thunder Dragon.”

What should we do if we can’t find an opponent?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao grinned and called out.

How could we not find an opponent? If the Electric-types aren’t willing to battle, there are still Bug-types.

After speaking, its eyes glowed blue, and it took Thunder Dragon away from the spot.

A lush grassy area, filled with various Bug-type Pets.

Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon appeared out of thin air.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao gave Thunder Dragon a knowing look towards the Bug-type Pets.

“Thunder Dragon!”

Thunder Dragon understood, stepped forward, and roared loudly.

Some Bug-type Pets were startled and scattered, while others, with displeased expressions, crawled or flew over.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao leaned next to Thunder Dragon and called out in a low voice.

These are the less intelligent ones.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out, indicating, “I know,” then stepped forward and displayed its point recorder.

The Bug-type Pets looked at each other, and then many Bug-type Pets wearing point recorders stepped forward.

…

At the same time.

Villa, living room.

Qiao Sang pushed the door open, feeling exhausted, and said:

“Can you ask Feng to confirm whether the sun crystal is real or fake before sending messages?”

Initially, when she first asked Feng to find sun crystals, it was once a day, then half a day, then every few hours, and now several times an hour.

If even one of them was real, it would be fine, but not a single one was genuine.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing Bao called out, indicating that it would communicate with Feng.

As it spoke, it closed its eyes.

The wind rose spontaneously around it.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao called out, indicating that it was going to train first and to call it when they were leaving.

As it spoke, it ran towards the open-air training ground.

Qiao Sang came to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Dragon King was currently lying on its side on the sofa, watching TV.

Qiao Sang glanced at it and saw it was a news channel. She couldn’t help but ask:

“Why do I feel like you’re always watching the news channel?”

“Mog Mog.”

Dragon King watched TV and called out, indicating that most of the battles on TV now were between weaklings, which wasn’t interesting, and it was better to watch the news.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure translated in its mind.

Dragon King is already an Emperor-level, so battles between Pets below its level probably aren’t interesting to it, and battles between Yu Beast Masters with Emperor-level Pets are major competitions that require long preparations and aren’t common. It’s normal for the TV not to have such high-level battles for a long time… Qiao Sang felt she could understand and also started watching the news.

After watching for a while, Dragon King changed the channel.

On TV, the Host sat on a sofa and interviewed:

“Excuse me, how have you managed to stay in first place in points since the competition began?”

A Dragon-type Pet Beast, about two meters tall, with a dark brown base color, white from its jaw to its abdomen, white single-toed claws, three-toed feet, and wings on its forearms, smirked and called out:

“Tu Tu.”

The subtitle translated: By strength.

Earth Dragon, a Ground-type and Dragon-type dual-attribute Intermediate Pet Beast, likes to burrow into the ground to hide its figure, rarely appearing before people. It has a good relationship with Bug-type Pets that often burrow into the ground, supposedly because those Bug-type Pets bring it food. If you want to find an Earth Dragon, go to the nests of those Bug-type Pets that like to burrow into the ground, and you’ll most likely encounter it… Information about this Dragon-type Pet Beast flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

The Host asked: “Excuse me, in this competition so far, have you encountered any opponents that you found difficult to deal with?”

“Tu Tu?”

The brown Dragon-type Pet Beast called out.

Subtitle translated: What do you mean by difficult?

“Meaning an opponent that you found hard to deal with,” the Host said.

“Tu Tu.”

The brown Dragon-type Pet Beast smiled and called out.

Subtitle translated: There will be no such opponent.

“It seems you’re very confident,” the Host asked. “Then do you think you can maintain first place in points until the end of the Pet Beast Free Point Battle Competition?”

Pet Beast Free Point Battle Competition? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

This Earth Dragon participated in the Pet Beast Free Point Battle Competition? And has been in first place for a long time?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but stare at the Earth Dragon on TV and examine it closely.

I wonder if Thunder Dragon will have a chance to meet it in the future…

Dragon King also clearly thought of this and watched with interest, not changing the channel.

“Tu Tu.”

Earth Dragon called out confidently.

Subtitle translated: Of course, as long as I don’t give up halfway through the competition, this first place will always be mine until the end of the competition.

So confident… Qiao Sang thought as she looked at the subtitles.

…

On the other side.

On the grass.

All the battling Bug-type Pets had fainted.

The Pet Beast wearing a referee’s badge blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

The Barrier disappeared.

A virtual panel appeared above Thunder Dragon, and the points on it increased by 8.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly called out, then realized there were still a bunch of Bug-type Pets around, and its expression instantly turned to worry, calling out:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Don’t challenge so many opponents at once again!

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon was very sensible and called out, indicating, “Boss, don’t try to persuade me, my mind is made up.”

After speaking, it called out provocatively to the Bug-type Pets in front of it:

“Thunder Dragon!”

Whoever wants to battle me, just come all at once.

The surrounding Bug-type Pets all showed angry expressions, and several Bug-type Pets wearing point recorders looked like they were about to step forward voluntarily.

“De De.”

At this moment, an older Bug-type Pet called out.

The Bug-type Pets that were about to step forward immediately restrained themselves and stopped their movements.

Then, several Bug-type Pets turned around and went somewhere unknown.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon looked at the movements of the surrounding Bug-type Pets and couldn’t help but show a confused expression, lowering its voice and calling out, indicating why they weren’t coming to fight it.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao listened to the surrounding commotion and called out, indicating, “Don’t worry, they seem to be going to find the stronger ones in their species to fight you.”

“Thunder Dragon.”

Upon hearing this, Thunder Dragon showed an “So that’s how it is” expression.

Xiao Xunbao looked at the surrounding Bug-type Pets staring at them and began to show a dissuading look, acting it out:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon had an “Don’t try to persuade me” look, cooperating with it in the act.

Just as Xiao Xunbao and Thunder Dragon were enthusiastically acting, the surrounding Bug-type Pets suddenly moved to the side, clearing a path.

A Pet Beast, about two meters tall, with a dark brown base color, white from its jaw to its abdomen, white single-toed claws, three-toed feet, and wings on its forearms, walked through.

“De De.”

The older Bug-type Pet called out.

The Pet Beast with wings on its forearms listened, sized up Thunder Dragon, and then called out indifferently:

“Tu Tu.”

I challenge you.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon looked at it and called out, indicating, “Don’t rush, I’m waiting for seven more.”

After speaking, it shouted loudly:

“Thunder Dragon!”

There are still seven spots, who wants to battle me!

The veins on the forehead of the Pet Beast with wings on its forearms bulged.

This isn’t a Bug-type… Xiao Xunbao took out its Pet Identifier and aimed it at the Pet Beast in front of it.

Before long, a mechanical voice with the same tone as its own sounded:

“Master, you’re using me again~ Let me see who you want to identify this time… Earth Dragon, a Dragon-type and Ground-type dual-attribute Intermediate Pet Beast, solitary in nature, likes to stay underground for many years, will dig a nest for itself underground, rarely appears before people… Master, you’re not going to battle it, are you? That would be too much bullying the small…”

Before it finished speaking, Xiao Xunbao turned off the Pet Identifier.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao leaned next to Thunder Dragon, lowering its voice and calling out, indicating that this guy was a Dragon-type Pet Beast, and if they battled it, they couldn’t challenge eight at once, otherwise the chance of losing would be too high.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out without thinking.

Then I won’t battle it.

“Tu Tu.”

Earth Dragon seemed to have heard the conversation, showed a mocking expression, and called out, indicating, “You’re not going to refuse to battle me, are you?”

The other party’s mocking expression was too obvious, and Thunder Dragon’s face sank.

It could tell that this guy was looking down on it.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out.

Who said I was going to refuse you?

With that, it pressed the point recorder on its paw.

Sixth Brother is still too impatient… Xiao Xunbao sighed, but didn’t stop it, floating to the side to clear the battleground.

Just one match, it wouldn’t waste much time.

“Tu Tu.”

Earth Dragon smirked and called out, also pressing its point recorder.

A virtual panel instantly appeared above it:

【Species: Earth Dragon】

【Level: Intermediate】

【Points: 13070】

【Rank: 1】

Rank 1? This is first place? Xiao Xunbao’s eyes widened suddenly.

Thunder Dragon didn’t pay attention to the ranking, only stared at the distant Earth Dragon, waiting for the referee to arrive.

“De De.”

Suddenly, the older Bug-type Pet walked out and called out.

Immediately after, a Bug-type Pet flew over and hung a badge around its neck.

Xiao Xunbao looked closely and saw that it was indeed a referee’s badge. Then, it also noticed that this very old-looking Bug-type Pet was also wearing a referee’s wristband.

“De De.”

The older Bug-type Pet called out and pressed the referee’s wristband.

Instantly, a Barrier enveloped the surroundings. (End of this chapter)
