Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 325: Are all geniuses so easy to talk to?
All the contestants who made it to the main competition stage were selected from numerous School Team members who had undergone more than two years of professional training.
The duration of the matches was significantly different from the preliminaries, with each match generally lasting several minutes.
Initially, Xiao Xunbao remained invisible, but later, influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, it materialized and cheered excitedly for the contestant it favored.
Because it was sitting on her head and blocking the view of the audience behind, Qiao Sang had no choice but to hold Xiao Xunbao in her arms.
“Have you gotten fat again recently?” Qiao Sang asked, stroking Xiao Xunbao’s belly.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao puffed out its already round belly even more, looking quite proud.
This was a sign of it getting stronger!
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “You’re getting fat, not stronger.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao pointed at a large bear-type Pet on the field that was using the fat on its belly to bounce back the impact of a Flash Speed Mouse, its eyes burning with fervor, indicating that it would eventually get that fat!
Your idea is very dangerous!
Qiao Sang watched the bear-type Pet on the field, relying on its stout and thick-skinned physique, standing still and letting its opponent attack.
The thought of Xiao Xunbao wanting to be like it gave her a headache.
“This Baobao Bear should be considered a tough opponent in our group,” Xu Yixuan said, seeing Qiao Sang staring at the Baobao Bear on the field. “Don’t think that it just stands there motionless and takes attacks without retaliating; that’s because it knows Furious Punch.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Baobao Bear on the field roared, pulled back its right arm into a fist, pushed out its chest, its upper body taut like a strong bow, and a powerful energy condensed in its fist.
Immediately after, it swung its fist heavily at the Flash Speed Mouse, which was enveloped in electricity and charging straight at it.
The Flash Speed Mouse flew out and fell to the ground, eyes closed.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao jolted, clearly startled by the Baobao Bear’s sudden shift from passive defense to such violence.
Qiao Sang instinctively began to analyze in her mind.
Furious Punch can transform anger into strength for attack; the more times it is attacked, the greater the power of the move.
The easiest way to win is to directly break its defense and defeat it in one move, not giving it a chance to use this move.
Among her three little Pets, only Ya Bao seemed to have enough attack power to instantly defeat the Baobao Bear.
Looking at the Flash Speed Mouse being carried away on a stretcher, Xu Yixuan sighed, “The Baobao Bear’s attack speed is much faster than when I last saw it. I estimate that only the three of us can defeat this Liu Zeru.”
Liu Zeru was the Baobao Bear’s Yu Beast Master.
“Don’t speak too soon,” He Datao said cautiously.
Ever since he lost two matches to Pinghai High School in the preliminaries, he had remained cautious.
Xu Yixuan glanced at him and said nothing.
As fellow third-year students participating in their final National Campus Pet Beast League, she understood He Datao’s current mindset.
“Senior He Datao is right,” Qiao Sang agreed. “I also think that not only us, but others can also win.”
Xu Yixuan: “…”
He Datao: “…”
He didn’t mean that!
The competition proceeded methodically.
Half an hour later, as a boy with bangs covering his eyes entered the arena, the voice on the broadcast became noticeably excited: “Let’s welcome Wu Chang from Huicheng Beast High School and Huang Xiaoting from Hanggang Ninth Yu Beast High School!”
Almost everyone in the school who was watching the match on the field erupted, all shouting one person’s name.
“Wu Chang! Wu Chang!”
“Wu Chang! Go for it!”
“Wu Chang! You must win!”
“Wu Chang, you’re the best! Wu Chang, you’re the strongest!”
Xu Yixuan looked around enviously: “Competing in your own school is just different. Why don’t I have that luck? I’ve competed in two sessions and never once been assigned to my own school.”
“Unbelievable,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the entering boy, completely stunned. “This person’s luck is truly unbelievable…”
Xu Yixuan, seeing Qiao Sang’s expression for the first time, couldn’t help but say, “Actually… the chance of being assigned to compete in your own school isn’t entirely zero. Your expression is a bit exaggerated.”
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and said seriously, “Do you remember the ‘Son of Fortune’ I told you about?”
Xu Yixuan paused: “The one who picks up money every two steps? Picks up money four or five times in half a minute? The one where money flies to him?”
“That’s him,” Qiao Sang nodded.
Xu Yixuan: “!!!”
Xu Yixuan was stunned for a long time: “Such an outrageous person actually exists?!”
“I don’t want to believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday,” Qiao Sang said.
“Could it be that his Pet has some ability that brings good luck?” Xu Yixuan guessed.
“I’m not sure,” Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “But I can’t rule out that possibility.”
This person’s luck was indeed a bit abnormal. When she realized this yesterday, she took a photo of that dark blue bird-type Pet and searched online.
It turned out to be a Sense Sight Bird from the Lianke region, which was the intermediate form of the Sight Sight Bird she had seen before that could share vision.
It had no connection to luck-related skills.
But since he was a third-year School Team member, he should have another Pet.
Perhaps it was the ability of this second Pet that brought him good luck.
Under Qiao Sang’s gaze, both sides formed hand seals. Wu Chang summoned an incredibly familiar Pet—a Desert Tail Fox.
Qiao Sang was stunned.
Desert Tail Fox?
So, that luck wasn’t due to the Pet’s ability, but truly inherent to this guy himself?!
In the main competition stage, the venue for each match had to be changed.
After both sides summoned their Pets, the ground sank, and two seconds later, a field covered in sand and gravel with several potholes rose to the surface.
This venue was clearly very suitable for the Desert Tail Fox to battle.
With home field advantage and a suitable competition venue, Wu Chang easily won two matches amidst the cheers of the crowd.
This luck is too abnormal… Qiao Sang sighed for the Nth time inwardly, then glanced at the match list, stood up, waved her hand to retrieve Xiao Xunbao into her yu beast codex, and stepped onto the field.
“Let’s welcome Qiao Sang from Saint Water Middle School and Lei Lei from Chongzhou Yu Beast High School!”
As the broadcast sounded, discussions erupted.
Although there weren’t the intense cheers like when Wu Chang appeared, almost everyone was discussing it.
“Saint Water Middle School! This is my first time seeing a kid from Saint Water Middle School!”
“I heard this Qiao Sang is a first-year!”
“Yan Ling Dog! I hope she sends out her Yan Ling Dog to compete!”
“Look at others! I heard she just entered first year and made it into the third-year School Team to represent the school in the competition, and then look at you! You’re also a first-year, but you failed three subjects in the last exam! Why is there such a big difference?!” On the spectator stands, a parent said to the boy next to him, expressing their disappointment.
The boy weakly retorted, “I heard this Qiao Sang’s academic performance isn’t good either…”
“Nonsense! If her studies weren’t good, could she have gotten into Saint Water Middle School?!”
“…”
At the same time.
On the field.
“I hope you can send out your Yan Ling Dog,” Lei Lei said.
He didn’t have any particular thoughts, he just wanted to battle against the only Yan Ling Dog in the world currently.
Qiao Sang nodded without hesitation: “Okay.”
This truly surprised Lei Lei.
Are geniuses all so easy to talk to?!
The referee gave the command to summon Pets.
Qiao Sang formed hand seals.
Under the green star array, Xiao Xunbao appeared on it.
“Xun~”
