Chapter 1230: It wants to try (two in one)

“Why?” Lei Da was startled and asked, puzzled.

During this period, Thunder Dragon had been happily accumulating points in the lightning weather, and now there was only about a week left until the end of the competition, so it should be more urgent to come out and fight.

Qiao Sang sighed and said,

“Go look at the news.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Qiao Sang put down her phone and looked at the originally appetizing food in front of her, suddenly losing her appetite.

It was too difficult. Previously, Thunder Dragon searching for opponents specifically countered by its characteristics was reported, and now the matter of changing the field was also reported. How was she going to accumulate points now?

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon had just been focused on eating and hadn’t heard the news broadcast. As soon as it finished the Energy Pill on its plate, it looked up and called out, indicating that it had finished eating and could go out to find an opponent to compete immediately.

“Thunder Dragon?”

After speaking, it called out, asking when the Thunderstorm Bird would come today.

Qiao Sang looked at it and said, “It’s not coming today.”

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon was stunned for a moment, then showed a confused expression.

Why wasn’t it coming? If it didn’t come, could it still challenge so many opponents today?

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Xiao Xunbao swallowed its Energy Pill and called out with a sigh.

If there was no lightning weather, you could at most challenge eight opponents, just like before.

“Because the news just clearly stated that it is a violation to have Pet other than those in the competition change the field weather. If caught, there will be suspensions of varying lengths,” Qiao Sang explained.

There were only nine days left in the competition itself. If it were suspended again, there would probably be no chance to participate in the competition, let alone become the first in points.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon still didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation. After thinking for a moment, it called out.

If there was no lightning weather, could it become the first in points by challenging eight at a time?

“Probably not,” Qiao Sang said truthfully.

Based on the current progress of point accumulation, it would be necessary to find opponents every day to possibly surpass the Earth Dragon.

“Thunder Dragon!”

Upon hearing this, Thunder Dragon immediately became anxious and called out, asking what to do!

If it couldn’t become the first in points, wouldn’t it be unable to fight that annoying Earth Dragon again!

“Don’t worry, let me think,” Qiao Sang soothed.

Mi Jiala, through the previous news, conversation, and Thunder Dragon’s expression, roughly inferred what they were discussing and couldn’t help but ask,

“How many points does Thunder Dragon have now?”

“11003,” Qiao Sang replied.

Recently, she had been taking Thunder Dragon out to find opponents for battles, so she naturally knew the exact points.

“What about the Earth Dragon?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang picked up her phone, searched for a moment, and said, “14250.”

The points of the top ten players in the Pet Free Point Battle were updated in real-time on the official website of the competition, so the exact values could be seen.

“How many days are left until the competition ends?” Mi Jiala continued to ask.

“Nine days,” Qiao Sang said.

Mi Jiala thought for a moment and said, “The time is too short. There are many ways to get a Pet to agree to a battle; it doesn’t have to be through this method.”

Qiao Sang said helplessly,

“You don’t know how stubborn that Earth Dragon’s personality is; in some ways, it’s quite similar to the Dragon King.”

Just like when the Dragon King wanted the Little Mo Dragon of its race to form a contract with it, no matter how many times she said no, it wouldn’t listen. It was only after she later contracted Thunder Dragon that it gave up.

The Dragon King watched the TV without changing its expression.

It took that as a compliment.

Mi Jiala glanced at the Dragon King, instantly understanding the difficulty of the Earth Dragon, and said, “You’ll have to figure this out yourself, but don’t get too fixated.”

This meant that even if she couldn’t become the first in points, there would be plenty of time in the future, and there would always be a way to get the Earth Dragon to agree to a battle.

As an S-Class Beast Master, a competition of this scale was not worth her intervention.

Originally, she had proposed this competition to allow Thunder Dragon to battle and develop more. When she learned that the competition lasted for half a year and only one month was left, she knew that it was basically impossible for Thunder Dragon to get the first place in points.

A very important factor in being able to challenge multiple opponents at once was having large-scale attack skills, which Thunder Dragon did not possess.

Qiao Sang understood what Teacher Mi Jiala meant and nodded, saying,

“I understand.”

She wouldn’t get fixated; Thunder Dragon would.

“Thunder Dragon…”

While Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala were talking, Thunder Dragon had already become anxious.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out comfortingly, indicating not to worry. If all else failed, it would hypnotize that Earth Dragon and make it battle with you.

“Thunder Dragon!”

Thunder Dragon remembered the dull expressions of the targets Xiao Xunbao had hypnotized in the past and called out in refusal, indicating it absolutely did not want that.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao listened to the conversation and called out.

How about it goes and beats that little guy up, making it fight with you?

In its opinion, there was nothing that a battle couldn’t solve.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao, who had been quiet all along, glanced at Ya Bao and called out, indicating, “Are you, an Emperor-level, going to fight a Mid-level? Do you have no shame?”

Ya Bao thought for a moment.

The opponent did seem a bit too weak…

“Ya Ya…”

Thinking of this, Ya Bao called out to Thunder Dragon with a helpless expression, indicating that it had no other way either.

“Colored Flower Bud Shalala.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala looked at everyone looking dispirited and called out a suggestion.

It would go and talk to that Earth Dragon; maybe it would agree.

In its memory, no matter what it said, the surrounding Pet would more or less give it some face.

“Qing Bao.”

Qing Bao called out, indicating that there was no need for it to step in, as their Yu Beast Master could handle this small matter.

Ah? What am I solving? The matter of Thunder Dragon becoming the first in points? Without being able to change the field weather, aren’t you overestimating me? Can this still be called a small matter? A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, but she maintained a thoughtful expression on her face.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master and calmly called out, indicating that it had a method.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up instantly, and she turned to look: “What method?”

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon’s eyes also lit up, and it eagerly asked.

Ya Bao and the others also looked over.

“Steel Treasure.”

Steel Treasure calmly called out, indicating that since the opponent disliked Thunder Dragon for being too weak, they could find a Mid-level Pet to fight it, then win against it, and then have Thunder Dragon win against that Mid-level Pet. This way, the Earth Dragon should know that Thunder Dragon isn’t weak.

That’s a good idea… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up even more.

However, she quickly thought of something and sighed, “Such a Pet is not easy to find.”

After all, most Mid-level Pet in Hua Chang City had participated in the Pet Free Point Battle, and the Earth Dragon, being ranked first in points, was, in a sense, recognized as the strongest among Mid-level Pet.

Compared to finding a Mid-level Pet stronger than the Earth Dragon, thinking of a way to quickly accumulate points seemed more feasible.

Steel Treasure somewhat agreed and continued to eat its Energy Pill.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao waved its paws, showing a helpless expression towards Thunder Dragon, and called out.

It’s a pity I’m already King-level, boss. Otherwise, if I were still Mid-level, I would definitely help you deal with the Earth Dragon.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao nodded in agreement.

It was a pity it was already Emperor-level too.

After speaking, it thought of something and called out as if stating a fact:

“Ya Ya.”

Even if I, as a Mid-level, defeated the Earth Dragon, you wouldn’t be able to defeat me.

Lu Bao rolled its eyes.

“Thunder Dragon?”

Thunder Dragon thought for a moment, preferring to get the first place in points first, and then have the Earth Dragon actively seek it out for a battle. It looked at its Yu Beast Master, its eyes full of expectation as it called out.

Are there any other ways for it to quickly accumulate points?

“I’m still thinking,” Qiao Sang said.

Actually, there were quite a few ways to quickly accumulate points. For example, before the competition, let other Pet wear down the competing Pet, and then let Thunder Dragon come out and invite a group of opponents whose stamina and energy were largely depleted to battle.

Or, let Xiao Xunbao cast Decline Luck Curse on a group of participating Pet before the competition, which would greatly reduce their chances of winning.

Or, let Thunder Dragon drink potions that enhance attack power before the competition, anyway, there would be no formal physical examination before the competition…

“Thunder Dragon?”

Just as Qiao Sang was thinking, Thunder Dragon called out.

If it was a violation for Pet other than those in the competition to change the field weather, could it learn to cast lightning weather?

…Qiao Sang’s face twitched slightly, and she said tactfully,

“This is an advanced skill. There are only nine days left until the end of the competition. We don’t have time to learn this skill.”

Why not? Thunder Dragon felt it could.

It called out seriously:

“Thunder Dragon.”

Lu Bao’s Healing Light could allow it to stay up all night, so it could practice at night when it couldn’t find opponents.

Lu Bao heard this and glanced at it.

“No,” Qiao Sang refused. “You are still in the developmental stage; you cannot stay up all night.”

With that, she comforted, “Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way.”

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon was silent for a few seconds, knowing it couldn’t persuade its Yu Beast Master, and nodded.

…

One A.M.

Inside the bedroom, Thunder Dragon, with its eyes closed, suddenly opened them. It glanced at its sleeping Yu Beast Master, forced itself to stay awake, twisted its body to fly up, opened the door, and flew towards the outdoor training ground.

It looked up at the sky, and just as it was about to rush into the sky, Xiao Xunbao’s surprised voice rang out beside it:

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Why aren’t you asleep yet?

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon stopped its movements, looked at Xiao Xunbao, and called out, indicating that it wanted to practice lightning weather.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao called out curiously.

Do you know how to practice?

Thunder Dragon’s body stiffened for a moment.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Two seconds later, Thunder Dragon honestly shook its head.

It didn’t know, but it still wanted to try.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a puzzled expression and called out.

Why do you want to practice when everyone else is asleep?

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out.

Did you forget that I was out competing all day and didn’t have time to practice?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out.

You could come back earlier.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon shook its head without thinking.

No, it needed to accumulate points.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao remembered something, showed a look of sudden realization, and called out.

You want to practice lightning weather and then absorb lightning yourself!

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon nodded.

It had indeed battled many opponents today, but it hadn’t accumulated as many points as when it absorbed lightning.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating, and called out.

But its Yu Beast Master said that this skill couldn’t be learned within the remaining nine days.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon called out with a determined tone.

But it wanted to try.

All it could think about was battling that contemptuous Earth Dragon one more time. No matter the method, it wanted to try. Now, the only way it could think of to quickly accumulate points was to absorb lightning.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao saw Thunder Dragon’s appearance, sighed, and called out.

Then you can try.

“Thunder Dragon.”

Thunder Dragon nodded to Xiao Xunbao, then looked up at the sky.

Just as it was about to fly up again, a voice sounded:

“Ice Emperor.”

Thunder Dragon was startled for a moment and turned to look.

It saw Lu Bao had walked over at some point.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a surprised expression and called out.

Why are you here too?

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao called out, indicating that it had been woken up by them.

Then, very suddenly, the gem on its forehead lit up with a faint blue light, shining on Thunder Dragon’s body.

Thunder Dragon was stunned again.

“Thunder Dragon!”

When the faint blue light dissipated, Thunder Dragon’s sleepiness was completely gone. It showed a grateful expression and called out to Lu Bao.

Lu Bao said nothing and turned to leave.

Seeing Thunder Dragon deliberately come out to train at night, it inexplicably thought of itself, who had once tried to catch up with Ya Bao.

No matter the outcome, as long as it tried and had no regrets, it was fine.

As it was thinking, it saw its Yu Beast Master in the living room.

“Ice Emperor.”

Lu Bao stopped, a hint of a smile appearing on its face, and called out.

I knew you’d come out.

Qiao Sang sighed:

“You all walk outside without sleeping; how can I not come out?”

Now her brain domain had reached the level of an A-grade Beastmaster, and her five senses were terrifyingly sharp. Even the slightest movement could wake her up.

“Ice Emperor?”

Lu Bao called out, indicating, “Do you need me to cast Healing Light on you?”

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “Come on.”

Lu Bao smiled again, and the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light, shining on its Yu Beast Master’s body.

Half a minute later, Qiao Sang walked to the outdoor training ground, refreshed.

She looked up at Thunder Dragon, who was flying high into the sky, and sighed inwardly, thinking it was also stubborn. It had agreed so well on the surface, but still secretly came out to train at night, even though it wasn’t a personality that liked training…

Xiao Xunbao noticed its Yu Beast Master, floated over, and called out:

“Xiao Xunbao~”

You’re not sleeping either~

Qiao Sang looked at it.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Stared at like that, Xiao Xunbao remembered something, its body stiffened, and it showed a guilty expression, handing over the phone and calling out.

It had just taken it and hadn’t played much yet…

…Qiao Sang’s eyelid twitched. She didn’t take the phone and said,

“Give it to me when it’s light.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and it nodded repeatedly, then happily floated towards the living room with the phone.

Qiao Sang looked up at the high sky and said,

“Thunder Dragon, come down first.”

At this quiet hour of the night, the sound clearly reached Thunder Dragon’s ears.

Its body stiffened slightly, then it flew down and stopped in front of its Yu Beast Master.

“Didn’t I say you are still in the developmental stage and cannot stay up at night?” Qiao Sang said.

Thunder Dragon didn’t speak, its expression a little stubborn.

Just as it thought its Yu Beast Master would tell it to go back to sleep, Qiao Sang’s tone compromised:

“After the Pet Free Point Battle ends, you have to adjust your schedule back.” (End of Chapter)
