Chapter 396: Set off

Whenever it came to the divisional rounds, the qualified contestants from various regions would basically create group chats.

The purpose was to exchange and share information.

Although it was an individual Yu Beast Master combat competition, in the divisional rounds, everyone still prioritized categorizing contestants from other regions as the enemy.

However, information was not shared for free; it was mostly exchanged.

If someone in the group was considered a natural counter and a greater threat, information would naturally not be shared easily.

Ultimately, the individual Yu Beast Master combat competition meant that everyone else in the group was an opponent.

In past National Campus Pet Beast League events, it was only after arriving in another region that someone would propose sharing information.

Before Qiao Sang joined the group, everyone was still in a wait-and-see state.

But as soon as Qiao Sang appeared, the people in the group couldn’t hold back.

There was no other way; the allure of the only Liao Xing Hound and the nearly extinct Ice Dew Qiya was simply too strong.

Of course, Qiao Sang, participating in the divisional rounds for the first time, hadn’t thought that much.

At this moment, she was accepting friend requests one by one, looking through dozens of transmitted data files.

…

“I can’t bring myself to do it!”

In the Ancient Mist region’s qualified contestants’ group, Qin Shuoran sent this message with extreme speed.

The group was created today, and nothing else was discussed except Qiao Sang from the Yuhua region.

“I can’t f*cking bring myself to do it either!”

The others in the group replied one after another:

“Attacking Ice Dew Qiya, are you crazy!”

“Damn it! Why did our region’s endangered Pet get contracted by someone from the Yuhua region?”

“I’d really like to battle Ice Dew Qiya; at least I could see It up close.”

“What if Qiao Sang from the Yuhua region seizes this point and sends out Ice Dew Qiya every time she battles us?”

The group fell silent for a moment.

“I watched Qiao Sang’s matches; actually, Ice Dew Qiya is the weakest of her Pets…”

“Ah, this…”

“I’ve also seen her matches. Her strongest Pet is a High-level Pet called Liao Xing Hound, Fire System plus Superpower System.”

“Fire System plus Superpower System sounds very expensive. It seems Qiao Sang is quite wealthy. I feel relieved knowing Ice Dew Qiya is in such a good family.”

“Me too.”

“+1”

“…Our region has encountered a natural enemy.”

…

The next morning, at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

“Remember to call me when you arrive there,” Ye Xiangting said softly.

Although she clearly knew her daughter was going to the Ancient Mist region for a competition and was accompanied by a teacher, at this moment, she still felt a little worried.

“I will,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Qiao Sang’s mother, rest assured,” Sun Boyi said solemnly from the side, “I will take good care of her. I guarantee not a single hair will fall from her head during the competition.”

“Do you usually lose hair when you comb it?” Xu Yixuan leaned close to Qiao Sang and whispered.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: “Yes.”

Xu Yixuan stopped talking.

I heard that… Sun Boyi, whose hearing was better than ordinary people’s due to the feedback he received, twitched his mouth slightly.

“Teacher, then I’ll trouble you,” Ye Xiangting said gratefully.

“It’s nothing,” Sun Boyi pretended he hadn’t heard anything just now, his expression returning to normal.

Gate 23.

A Pet, about two meters tall, mostly white with a black tail, wearing a Staff ID, scanned the passengers standing in front of It from top to bottom with red glowing eyes.

Light Vision Beast… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in front of her, its species name appearing in her mind.

Light Vision Beast possesses the X-ray vision characteristic; its eyes can perform a full-body X-ray examination.

It is well known that X-rays can cause some harm to the human body, but the Light Vision Beast’s X-ray vision characteristic does not.

Before the Light Vision Beast’s characteristic was discovered, airport Staff used security wands to sense electric currents and detect if people were hiding metal on their bodies.

However, some capsule-type contraband hidden inside the body could not be detected.

Being harmless to the human body, ensuring privacy, and capable of detecting any contraband hidden within the body, the Light Vision Beast became a darling of major airports after this characteristic was announced, causing its value to double directly.

Yu Beast Masters who contracted Light Vision Beasts also gained a more secure job.

Qiao Sang was scanned from head to toe and felt nothing.

“Guangguang.” The red light in the Light Vision Beast’s eyes dissipated, returning to their original black color. It made a sound, signaling Qiao Sang that she could go.

…

On the plane, Qiao Sang sat in the soft first-class seat.

The direct flight to the Ancient Mist region would take about ten hours. Since she finally had a year of wealthy life, Qiao Sang naturally wouldn’t mistreat herself.

Xu Yixuan, sitting in front, turned her head and said excitedly, “Is this upgrade really free?”

“Yes, I have an upgrade voucher,” Qiao Sang said.

Qiao Sang felt a little uneasy sitting in first class while Xu Yixuan and Sun Teacher sat in economy class for ten hours, so she went to the check-in counter and upgraded their seats.

“I love you!” Xu Yixuan showed a big white grin: “When we get to the Ancient Mist region, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Sun Boyi, sitting on the other side, turned his head and smiled: “When we get to the Ancient Mist region, don’t run around. If you want to eat something delicious, I’ll go with you. With a teacher present, there’s no reason for you to treat.”

The three continued to chat for a few more sentences.

After the plane took off, Qiao Sang looked out the window.

Yu Beast Masters were not allowed to summon their Pets during takeoff.

Without Ya Bao and Little Qunbao by her side, Qiao Sang felt a long-lost sense of loneliness…

In the evening, Qiao Sang had adjusted her first-class seat to a flat-lying mode.

She closed her eyes, recalling the information she had organized yesterday in her mind.

Dozens of data files were collected by different people. Although the content was largely similar, there were still some differences.

For example, regarding a contestant named Qin Shuoran from the Ancient Mist region, more than twenty data files said that his High-level Pet, Happy Sea Lion, could use two High Level skills, and its Steam Explosion had even reached the ‘Minor Accomplishment’ level.

However, the other few data files stated that Happy Sea Lion’s Steam Explosion had actually reached ‘Great Accomplishment’.

In such cases, when Qiao Sang organized the data, she calculated Happy Sea Lion’s Steam Explosion based on ‘Great Accomplishment’.

There was also Yuan Xiaotian from the Xi Lv region. Out of thirty-one data files, only one mentioned that his High-level Pet, Healing Flower Bud, possessed the Chlorophyll characteristic.

Chlorophyll: In a Great Sunny Day, its speed ability will double.

Even though the other thirty-one data files didn’t mention it, Qiao Sang still wrote down Chlorophyll when she organized her own data.

As the saying goes, always imagine your opponent as extremely powerful.

After going through all the contestants’ information for the divisional rounds in her mind, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think of Lu Bao’s matter.

According to Lu Bao’s description, she definitely wouldn’t be able to find It, but extraordinary creatures are so magical, she wondered if there were any skills that could help restore scenes from memory.
