Chapter 407: Qiao Sang VS Zhang Xueming

Day 3 of the Divisional Competition.

Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena.

“Friends! This is the National Campus League Divisional Competition! We meet again!” Yi Ao, holding a microphone in mid-air, interacted loudly: “Did everyone sleep well last night!”

“Good!”

“Not good!”

The audience responded enthusiastically.

Player Area.

Xu Yixuan, who had successfully advanced to the points competition, was in a good mood. She looked at the packed audience and exclaimed:

“It’s too exaggerated. There were hardly any people the first two days, but as soon as you were here, it filled up.”

This wasn’t a venue for a few thousand people; it was an auditorium that could hold eighty thousand people!

“Everyone is here to see Lu Bao,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

Xu Yixuan paused at her words, as if she had thought of something, and asked: “Are we considered friends?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled: “What’s wrong?”

“Then I have a favor to ask of you,” Xu Yixuan said.

Qiao Sang said warily: “Tell me what it is first.”

Xu Yixuan leaned in and whispered: “If we battle in the points competition, can you not send out Ice Dew Qiya?”

Qiao Sang: “…Okay.”

…

There were a total of 144 Divisional Competition players participating in the Ancient Mist region.

After the elimination rounds, there were still 72 people left.

According to the rules of the points competition, everyone would initially be divided into 8 groups, with 9 people in each group.

After this round of the points competition, the first-place player in each group would directly advance, securing a spot in the National Competition.

The players in the bottom three of each group would also be eliminated at this stage.

The remaining 5 people in each group would then be re-grouped, and the top 32 ranked players by points would be selected.

The 8 players who advanced in the first round would compete in the final stage to determine the top eight of the Divisional Competition.

After two days of competition, all elimination rounds had concluded.

Although there were 72 elimination matches, the Divisional Competition had morning, afternoon, and evening time slots, and two days was already enough time.

“Next up are the group lists for the first round of the points competition!” Yi Ao announced loudly: “Everyone, please look ahead!”

Instantly, enlarged holographic photos of all the advanced players appeared on the field.

The people in the player area silently covered their faces, unable to bear looking.

The photos quickly shuffled and then froze after more than ten seconds.

Qiao Sang quickly scanned her eyes and soon saw the group she was assigned to.

[Group B: Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang]

[Ancient Mist Region, Chen Ye]

[Xi Lv Region, Guan Shuyi]

[Lianke Region, Li Hua]

[Xi Lv Region, Bai Binbin]

[…]

[Lianke Region, Xu Tong]

[Lianke Region, Zhang Xueming]

Bai Binbin, Zhang Xueming… Seeing these two familiar names, Qiao Sang quickly took out her phone and opened her memo.

[Bai Binbin, Xi Lv Region, E-level Beastmaster]

[Notes: One High-level Pet, Super Evil Scorpion, an Evil-type and Poison-type dual-attribute Pet Beast. It is fierce in nature; both its hooked claws and tail can release potent venom. Its arm claws possess destructive power capable of tearing a car into scrap metal. Even without venom, it can suppress opponents with its strength.]

[High Level skills: Evil Wave, Venom Bombardment. Both are suspected to be at the Minor Accomplishment stage.]

[Ability: Sniper. When a Pet Beast with this ability hits an opponent’s vital point, the damage dealt is greater than under normal circumstances.]

[Ability: Poison Barb. When using contact-type skills to attack a Pet Beast with this ability, there is a 30% chance of being poisoned.]

[One Mid-level Normal-type Pet, Sickle Mongoose. Agile, its sharp claws are its strongest weapon.]

[Ability: Poison Boost. When a Pet Beast with this ability is poisoned, its attack power increases accordingly.]

Qiao Sang scrolled the screen.

[Lianke Region, Zhang Xueming, E-level Beastmaster]

[Notes: One High Level Ice Pet, Ice Sea Lion. Its thick blubber not only resists cold but can also reflect enemy attacks.]

[High Level skills: Blizzard, Mount Tai Press.]

[Ability: Oblivious. A Pet Beast with this ability will not be affected by Charm or Taunt, nor will it react to Intimidate.]

[One Mid-level Fairy-type Pet, Mimi Spirit. Fragile, its Charm skill seems to have a very high proficiency.]

[Ability: Super Luck. With this ability, it is easy to hit an opponent’s vital point when attacking.]

It seems Bai Binbin and Zhang Xueming are the biggest opponents in the points competition… Qiao Sang looked at their information and patiently finished reading about the remaining 6 players.

Although the system’s grouping was random, the backend still had some instructions, such as each group having to contain 2 to 3 players with High-level Pets.

This was also to ensure the fairness of the grouping, to prevent a situation where a player with only Mid-level Pets made it into the top eight.

Xu Yixuan entered Group E, and she started checking the players in her group who only had Mid-level Pets.

Every group had players with High-level Pets, so directly becoming the group’s first place and advancing to the National Competition was out of the question.

However, as long as she ensured she was in the top 6 of her group, there was still a possibility of entering the National Competition.

…

The first round of the Divisional Competition’s points competition officially began.

As one match after another started, discussions arose in the audience.

“What’s that Pet Beast called? It looks so big, but its speed is actually so fast.”

“It seems to be called a Two-Headed Brown Bear. Although it’s big, look how developed its leg muscles are.”

“This player named Zhang Chu is quite interesting; he won the match relying on two insect-type pet beasts.”

“Why are you being prejudiced against Pet Beasts now? There are no useless attributes, only useless Yu Beast Masters.”

“You can’t say that. insect-type pet beasts generally grow fast in the early stages, but their potential is limited. In the later stages, they can’t compare to others, so it’s only at this stage that they have a chance to go on a rampage.”

“Why does this Pet Beast look so much like a Illusory Grass?”

“It’s the evolved form of Illusory Grass, Giant Sincerity Grass.”

“I’m impressed! I didn’t realize you, a poor student, knew the evolved forms of Pet Beasts from other regions.”

“Sigh, I’d rather not know it. My last girlfriend suddenly rented a Giant Sincerity Grass, and then we broke up.”

“Tsk.”

95% of the audience present were from the Ancient Mist region. Although most viewers weren’t very interested in the matches, they were still very enthusiastic about discussing Pet Beasts from other regions.

Time passed little by little, and Qiao Sang also began her battles for the day.

The passionate BGM played at the opportune moment.

When Yi Ao excitedly announced the players who were about to appear.

Blue light and white light simultaneously shone down on the player area.

Seeing the players suddenly appear on the field, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Audiences and players from other regions were no longer as bewildered as they were on the first day.

The significance of Ice Dew Qiya to the Ancient Mist region didn’t need to be specifically understood.

After the first day’s matches ended, all sorts of information about Ice Dew Qiya dominated the major headlines in the Ancient Mist region; it was hard for them not to know.

“Ice Dew Qiya! Ice Dew Qiya!”

“I had Qisuan Pig calculate yesterday, and Qiao Sang will definitely send out Ice Dew Qiya today!”

“Then it’s a sure thing, brother!”

“Qiao Sang! I love you! Let me see Ice Dew Qiya!”

“Everyone, be rational! Qiao Sang’s opponent in this match is Zhang Xueming; she has a High-level Pet. What if Ice Dew Qiya gets injured if summoned!”

Amidst the intense shouts of the crowd, Lu Bao and Mimi Spirit appeared on the field.

This time, Qiao Sang wasn’t influenced by the audience, but rather because she had gathered intelligence—Mimi Spirit was female.
