Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 388: Yazai pet animal breeding shop
The second match was held 90 minutes later.
Wang Rui’s Pet needed to recover and adjust its condition, and although superb medical technology could quickly heal its injuries and restore its energy, if it were to compete immediately, there would definitely be a slight difference in its condition compared to Pets that hadn’t battled yet.
For the sake of fairness, a 90-minute adjustment period was necessary.
If a Pet was severely injured, the rest period would also be appropriately extended.
Time flew by quickly.
Most of the audience remained in their seats.
As the match approached, Xu Yixuan looked at the audience and asked in confusion, “Why are so many people still here?”
Although Qiao Sang didn’t intend to show off, since Xu Yixuan asked, Qiao Sang could only reply, “Perhaps it’s because Ya is still here.”
“Ya!”
Upon hearing this, Ya glanced at the audience, then raised its paw and gestured.
A commotion immediately erupted in the audience.
“Did you see that?! It waved its paw!”
“Holy cow! What a boss!”
“Ah ah ah! I just put my phone away, darn it, I didn’t get that shot!”
Xu Yixuan: “…”
After evolving, its handsomeness truly doubled… Ya silently puffed out its chest.
90 minutes later, the second match began.
Qiao Sang had battled both Xu Yixuan and Wang Rui.
Wang Rui’s Control Scale Puppet had mental sensing, which to some extent countered Ghost-type Pets that could become invisible.
If Little Qunbao didn’t also have a Superpower System attribute, it would be very difficult to use moves against the Control Scale Puppet with just invisibility. Xu Yixuan’s Dream Guiding Spirit probably wouldn’t fare well against the Control Scale Puppet.
There were also Xu Yixuan’s Burning Fire Dog and Wang Rui’s Spiked Dragon.
Regardless of attribute or other factors, the Spiked Dragon had the advantage.
Plus…
Qiao Sang looked at Ya.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya couldn’t hold back and excitedly cheered for the Burning Fire Dog in the arena.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but rub her forehead, about to tell it to stop shouting.
But before she could speak, the Spiked Dragon on the field used Dig for the Nth time and burrowed into the ground. Xu Yixuan gave the command for the Burning Fire Dog to spray fire into the burrow.
Because of their previous skirmish, the Spiked Dragon’s burrow this time was dug right in front of the Burning Fire Dog’s feet.
The Burning Fire Dog directly lowered its head and opened its mouth, aiming at the burrow.
Just as everyone thought the Spiked Dragon would either be injured or forced to emerge early, a violent silver-white energy surged from the hole, directly hitting the Burning Fire Dog, which was still open-mouthed and condensing flames.
The Burning Fire Dog was defeated.
“Good heavens, it deliberately dug the burrow near the Burning Fire Dog’s feet so that the Burning Fire Dog would open its mouth to aim at the hole. The Spiked Dragon had already prepared to use Dragon Breath inside, waiting for this moment. As expected, no one who reaches this stage is simple… This was definitely a pre-arranged tactical move, absolutely not Ya’s jinx…”
Qiao Sang nodded secretly: It seems I can’t let my Pet stay near burrows casually in the future, especially those deliberately dug at their feet.
Time passed little by little.
Xu Yixuan and Wang Rui’s match was slightly difficult.
Although Wang Rui’s Spiked Dragon won the first round, Xu Yixuan also realized her lack of caution and was extra careful in the second match.
The Dream Guiding Spirit, in peak condition, battled the Spiked Dragon, which had already consumed most of its energy. After five minutes of skirmishing, the Dream Guiding Spirit ended the match with a Dream Induction move.
In the third round, both Xu Yixuan and Wang Rui displayed unprecedented focus.
They knew that in this year’s National Campus Pet Beast League provincial competition, second place would be their best result.
The match continued in a stalemate.
The Dream Guiding Spirit was best at Dream Induction, but unfortunately, as an old opponent, Wang Rui understood its characteristics too well, plus his mental perception specifically countered Ghost-type Pets. After more than ten minutes into the match, the Control Scale Puppet won with an Illusion Ray.
Xu Yixuan returned to the contestant area, looking dejected, and said, “I thought without Ding Yanjing, I could advance one spot, but I’m still destined for third.”
Qiao Sang comforted her, “Actually, you still have a chance to compete for the top two, as long as you win against me in the next match.”
According to the competition format, the winner of the second round would battle the winner of the first round to determine the victor. However, Wang Rui, who won the second round, had already battled Qiao Sang in the first round.
In that case, the second option, a single-round robin format, would be adopted: 3 points for a win, 0 points for a loss, and 1 point for a draw.
Based on the two rounds just completed, Qiao Sang had 6 points, Wang Rui had 6 points, and Xu Yixuan had 3 points.
Since Wang Rui had already competed against both of them, the last remaining match was the showdown between Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan.
If Xu Yixuan won both rounds against Qiao Sang, first place would be hers.
Win against you?! Xu Yixuan’s mouth twitched. She didn’t even dare to think about a draw!
First row of the audience, leadership area.
Huang Renbiao patted Wang Rui’s shoulder and said with satisfaction, “Not bad, you got second place in the province this time. But the hard work is still ahead. When we go back, we’ll train well for a week to prepare for the upcoming divisional competition.”
Wang Rui nodded excitedly:
“Principal, I will work hard!”
The people next to them offered congratulations, not feeling there was any problem at all.
The match clearly hadn’t ended, but everyone already assumed Wang Rui was second in the province.
…
Hanggang City.
Wendan Street.
Yazi Pet Breeding Shop.
The shop was currently packed with people. For a newly opened Pet breeding shop, this was undoubtedly a very good start.
A large virtual screen occupied half of the left wall.
It was currently broadcasting commercials, with the “Zhehai Satellite TV” logo displayed in the upper left corner.
Five Staff members were warmly entertaining customers.
Ye Xiangting occasionally looked towards the virtual screen.
After an unknown amount of time, the scene on the virtual screen changed. A man in a suit sat in a holographic studio, smiling as he said:
“Let us continue to follow the live broadcast of the National Campus Pet Beast League high school section in Zhehai Province. What you are about to see is the final match of our Zhehai Province high school section.”
After he finished speaking, the screen switched to the Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.
Ye Xiangting immediately picked up her phone and opened the family group chat, @ing everyone:
[The match has started!]
Ye Xiangting waited only two seconds. Seeing no one respond, she couldn’t help but tap on the red envelope on her phone.
[Ye Xiangting sent a red envelope]
The red envelope was instantly claimed.
[Second Sister-in-law: I’m watching the match right now! I didn’t even switch channels during that 90-minute halftime!
[Big Brother: When Qiao Sang’s match is over, remember to host a banquet. Your sister-in-law and I will definitely come back.]
[Third Uncle: Qiao Sang has really made something of herself. Dad and Mom have been watching Qiao Sang’s match all morning.]
[Brother-in-law: Ah, I want to watch too, but unfortunately I’m at work right now. How about this, I’ll definitely watch the replay when I get home tonight!]
There were many more messages below, almost everyone in the family group chat had popped up.
Ye Xiangting looked at the chat history, satisfied.
