Chapter 359: The group stage is all over

Qiao Sang was utterly bewildered on the spot at this moment.

Everyone else’s attention was drawn by the sudden Snowfall, but after just one glance, her focus returned to Lu Bao.

Then she was dumbfounded.

Snowfall?

Was what Lu Bao just unleashed Snowfall?!

At this moment, Qiao Sang developed serious doubts about the content in the textbooks.

Is it possible that high-level skills are actually quite easy to learn?

Thinking back carefully, among her three Pets, the one who spent the longest and most arduous time learning a high-level skill seemed to be Ya Bao learning Mars Rain, but even that only took about a month. Are high-level skills really that difficult to learn? Could it be that only the people who wrote the books thought so… Qiao Sang’s mind was filled with various thoughts, flashing through all sorts of ideas.

Just as Qiao Sang fell into thought, Lu Bao looked up at the Snowfall it had unleashed, its eyes lit up, revealing an excited expression, but then it remembered something and quickly reined in its expression. It opened its mouth, and a dark, heavy black cloud immediately pressed down.

Thunder roared, and icy rain instantly poured down from the sky.

The falling raindrops pulled the attention of the audience, who were in the midst of discussion, back to the competition arena, instantly making them forget that a Snow-furred Weng had just passed by.

Rain Prayer?!

Most people looked stunned.

Wang Weidou’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“It’s, it’s really Rain Prayer?!” Someone in the audience murmured.

Only a short while had passed, and no one had forgotten the command Qiao Sang had just given.

So, Ice Dew Qiya really knows Rain Prayer?!

“It’s one thing that it’s an endangered Pet, but its talent is also so amazing, why isn’t it mine…” The man next to him felt that jealousy had already caused his cells to divide.

The woman on his right glanced at him and asked, “You haven’t seen Qiao Sang’s previous matches, have you?”

The man froze for a moment, then nodded.

He was from the town. Although his daughter attended Huicheng Beast High School, she was not a School Team member.

If it weren’t for the fact that the group stage of this National Campus Pet Beast League was assigned to his daughter’s school, he wouldn’t have paid attention to this competition.

It wasn’t that the competition wasn’t important enough, but he felt it was too far removed from his and his daughter’s circle to warrant attention.

The woman on the right said, “While a Pet’s talent is important, it also depends on who the Yu Beast Master is. A good Yu Beast Master can maximize a Pet’s potential. Not only is Qiao Sang’s Ice Dew Qiya powerful, but her other Pet, Treasure Hunting Fairy, has also learned the high-level skill Dark Shadow Control.”

Dark Shadow Control? The man was stunned.

The person on the right continued, “So, even if Ice Dew Qiya were your Pet, you might not be able to make it learn Rain Prayer.”

This… The man was speechless for a moment. He frowned and asked,

“Who are you?”

The woman in the white trench coat curved her lips and smiled slightly, “I’m her mother.”

Man: “???”

On the field, Qiao Sang, who was completely unaware that her mother had arrived at the scene, saw the rain fall, came back to her senses, composed herself, maintained her original composure, and said, “Water Jet.”

“Lu!”

Lu Bao stared intently at the figure flying in the sky. The next second, blue water wrapped around its entire body.

Boom!

In an instant, Lu Bao seemed like a blue jet, shooting straight up from the ground to the sky.

“Shi Shi!”

Sense Sight Bird looked down and saw a blue water column already in front of its eyes, scaring it into quickly flapping its wings and dodging to the side.

Due to excessive Stun, the movement was too wide, causing a feather to fall during this dodge.

Lu Bao turned around and swooped down from high altitude.

Its already fast speed suddenly increased again, making the surrounding raindrops appear incredibly slow.

Sense Sight Bird had just flapped its wings when Lu Bao, enveloped by the water, covered a distance of eight or nine meters and collided with Sense Sight Bird’s back.

“Shi Shi!!!”

Sense Sight Bird was directly impacted to the ground, creating a crater.

The rain mixed with Snowfall stopped at this point, and a mechanical Pet wearing a referee’s badge flew over from the side of the field and looked into the pit.

“qu!” Three seconds later, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.

The audience immediately erupted in a tidal wave of clamor.

“How can Ice Dew Qiya’s speed be so fast?”

“Yeah! It uses this Water Jet move frequently, but its speed a few days ago was clearly not on the same level as today’s!”

“What’s wrong with this Wu Chang? He just stood there after the Snowfall, and didn’t give any more commands later.”

“Who can understand? I just blinked twice and the match was over?!”

“Today’s Ice Dew Qiya is amazing!”

“It’s Swift Swim.” In the front row of the audience, in the area where the leaders were, a middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

“Principal Wang, your Saint Water Middle School seems to have produced a genius who can suppress Li Tan Royal Pet High School.” The Vice Principal of Xiong Ding High School said with a smile, “They all say that Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Flower from Li Tan has strong mid-to-long-range endurance, but I think Qiao Sang’s Ice Dew Qiya is truly strong.”

“Yes.” The man next to him said sourly, “Healing Light, Rain Prayer, plus the Swift Swim characteristic—Healing, speed, and attack are all covered. How can it not be strong?”

Wang Weidou chuckled, “Oh, Qiao Sang, this child, I don’t know how she trains, but every time I see her, her strength increases by a large margin.”

“Don’t even mention suppressing Li Tan Royal Pet High School. She’s only in her first year of high school, and she’s participating in the third-year high school division. It’s already very good that she’s been able to fight until now, after all, she’s competing against students two years older than her.”

After speaking, Wang Weidou slightly raised his head.

The Vice Principal of Xiong Ding High School’s mouth twitched.

This old fellow, did he say ‘suppress’? He said ‘pressure’!

A single word makes a huge difference, okay?!

…

On the field, Wu Chang took a deep breath. If he hadn’t seen wrong, Ice Dew Qiya had also cast Snowfall before casting Rain Prayer…

A mid-level Pet, actually so terrifying…

Wu Chang looked deeply at Qiao Sang.

Others might not know yet, but he was perfectly clear that the girl in front of him already had enough strength to enter the finals of the National Campus Pet Beast League.

After the knockout rounds end, given their difference, they probably won’t meet again…

Wu Chang was silent for a while and asked, “Can we exchange contact information?”

“Sure,” Qiao Sang said readily.

…

More than an hour later, the week-long group stage concluded.

The virtual screen above the audience seats displayed the list of qualifiers immediately after announcing the end of the matches.

In the first position of the first row, Qiao Sang saw her name.

“You all performed well, all three of you have qualified,” Sun Boyi said with a smile, “However, the knockout rounds three days from now are the key, especially He Datao, don’t be lazy when you go back.”

He Datao mumbled softly next to him, “Why don’t you say Qiao…”

He paused here, remembering the evolution of Qiao Sang’s Yan Ling Dog, so he changed the name: “Xu Yixuan.”

Xu Yixuan: “…”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, “Qiao Sang, come, let’s get acquainted.”

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw the Principal, exuding an aura of wealth, and a middle-aged man.

“Hello, I am the Vice Principal of Xiong Ding High School,” the middle-aged man said with a friendly expression.
