Chapter 428: Qiao Sang VS Deng Tianyue

As Yi Ao finished speaking, eight holographic photos appeared before the audience, shifting and changing.

Soon, the photos divided into four groups and froze.

[Lianke Region, Song Wenying VS Ancient Mist Region, Ma Zongji]

[Ancient Mist Region, Hu Fan VS Yuhua Region, Dan Huaiyang]

[Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang VS Xilu Region, Deng Tianyue]

[Ancient Mist Region, Qin Shuoran VS Xilu Region, Shao Liben]

In the competitor area, a boy with light brown hair saw his opponent’s photo and his expression changed.

If he had to say who he least wanted to encounter in the current Top 8, it was undoubtedly Qiao Sang.

Two of her three Pets were High-level Pets, and each of them had high-level skills with high proficiency. How was anyone supposed to fight that?

He looked at the coach beside him, trying to seek psychological comfort.

The coach felt his gaze, put down the tablet in his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Your opponent is extraordinary. Just perform at your usual level. Anyway, you’ve already entered the National Competition.”

Extraordinary, extraordinary, it’s that phrase again… Deng Tianyue looked speechless.

…

The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.

Those currently on stage were all competitors with High-level Pets, which greatly enhanced the viewing experience.

Furthermore, there were only four groups in the competition, and Qiao Sang’s turn would be in the third group.

As a result, the audience’s emotions were high, and they chatted with smiles.

“Our Ancient Mist Region kids are truly amazing; three of them made it to the Top 8.”

“Anyone who can participate in this competition must be a rich kid. Look at their Pets, one by one; you don’t usually see them on the street.”

“You don’t know the Pets from other regions, so how do you know if those Pets are uncommon in other regions?”

“High-level Pets are uncommon on the street.”

“I’m just saying…”

The competition quickly moved to the second group. Looking at the competitors who had already summoned their Pets, Xu Yixuan asked, “Who do you think will win, Hu Fan or Dan Huaiyang?”

“Hu Fan,” Qiao Sang answered without hesitation.

“Why?” Xu Yixuan became interested.

Qiao Sang pointed to Yabao, who was enthusiastically cheering in her arms, and calmly said:

“Because it’s currently cheering for Mud Bone Turtle.”

Mud Bone Turtle, Dan Huaiyang’s Pet.

Xu Yixuan: “…”

Ten minutes later, Dan Huaiyang’s Mud Bone Turtle indeed lost the match.

“Ya…”

Yabao’s tail drooped.

The power of this jinx is simply incredible… Xu Yixuan couldn’t help but glance at the Liao Xing Hound, whose expression was one of disappointment.

Soon, the competition welcomed its third match.

The lights shone on Yi Ao, who held the microphone and excitedly said:

“Let’s welcome the competitors for the next match! Qiao Sang from Yuhua Region! And Deng Tianyue from Xilu Region!”

Cheers instantly resounded throughout the entire Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena, and the names of Qiao Sang and Ice Kexilu echoed throughout the venue.

The exciting background music began to play.

Qiao Sang appeared on the field under the blue lights.

So this is what it feels like to be treated differently… Deng Tianyue felt a little dazed.

In the previous two matches, there were competitors from the Ancient Mist Region, but the audience wasn’t nearly this enthusiastic…

“What kind of Pet does Deng Tianyue have?” As the two appeared, some audience members in the stands began discussing.

“Wait, let me check.” The person next to them picked up their phone, checked for a moment, and said, “His High-level Pet is the Evil-type Black Devouring Giant Demon, and his Mid-level Pet is the Bug-type and Fighting-type Giant Needle Ant.”

The person who asked instantly got excited: “Evil-type can counter Superpower System, and Liao Xing Hound has Superpower System attributes, so Qiao Sang will send out Ice Kexilu, right!”

“For other competitors, certainly, but it’s hard to say when it comes to Qiao Sang. Besides, Liao Xing Hound’s most important attribute is still fire.”

While the audience discussed, Qiao Sang and Deng Tianyue on the field formed hand seals.

The next second, Ice Kexilu and Giant Needle Ant appeared in everyone’s sight.

“Ice Ke.”

“Giant Needle.”

“Whoosh!”

In the stands, a sudden clamor erupted.

“Ice Kexilu! It’s Ice Kexilu!”

“Oh my god, I thought I came for nothing today, but I actually got to see Ice Kexilu!”

“Every time I see Ice Kexilu, I think, why isn’t Qiao Sang from our Ancient Mist Region!”

“Ahhh! Although I kept shouting, I didn’t actually have any hope! But Qiao Sang really summoned it!”

“Ice Kexilu, I love you! Qiao Sang, I love you!”

…

Ice Kexilu… Deng Tianyue felt an unprecedented pressure looking at the mysteriously imposing Pet before him.

After understanding for this period, everyone knew that to defeat Ice Kexilu, one could only instantly defeat it, otherwise Healing Light could directly heal you to the point of collapse.

He heard that Zhang Xueming, who had competed against Qiao Sang, had to seek a psychologist after his battle with Ice Kexilu… The more Deng Tianyue thought about it, the more his head ached.

He knew that in the previous two sessions, he had achieved excellent results, ranking in the top three in the regional competition. He never expected that in his last session, his performance might be the worst.

Most importantly, the rewards for the top three in the regional competition were incomparable to those for the top eight.

Just as Deng Tianyue’s mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, the mechanical voice announcing the start of the match sounded.

“Water Jet,” Qiao Sang shouted immediately.

“Ice Ke.”

Lubaolifted her head slightly and opened her mouth.

“Double Payback!” Deng Tianyue responded immediately.

Even if he was going to lose, it had to be a cool exit after a fierce battle!

“Giant Needle.”

Hearing his Yu Beast Master’s words, Giant Needle Ant stood in place and let out a cry, a rose-red light appearing on its body, waiting for the attack to arrive.

However, there was no Water Jet.

Dark clouds appeared in the sky, and raindrops fell.

Deng Tianyue’s mind buzzed, and he froze completely.

Rain Prayer? Not Water Jet?!

Then why did Qiao Sang shout Water Jet?!

Double Payback, a Fighting-type intermediate skill, can return double the physical damage dealt by the opponent… He originally thought the opponent’s first Pet would be Black Devouring Giant Demon, so he had discussed with Lubaoin advance to use Rain Prayer first to enhance its attack power and speed. But considering they were both High-level Pets, the opponent wouldn’t be foolish and might interrupt the Rain Prayer. So he told Lubaothat he would shout Water Jet at the start, and it just needed to perform Rain Prayer.

Water Jet is a skill that requires close proximity to hit; most Pets would defend in place or wait for the opponent to approach before counterattacking.

So she wasn’t too worried that the opponent would directly attack Lubaofrom a distance.

But what she didn’t expect was that the first Pet the opponent sent out was the Mid-level Pet Giant Needle Ant.

If it was Double Payback, her feint had coincidentally worked out. However, Lubaobattling Giant Needle Ant, it seemed unnecessary to use Rain Prayer to enhance attack power and speed… Qiao Sang muttered to herself.

Water surged, and a huge current instantly enveloped Lubaosbody. Amidst the falling rain, Lubaotook to the air, the water column sometimes turning left, sometimes shifting right, like a blue light darting through the air at a speed the naked eye couldn’t follow.

At this moment, the rose-red light on Giant Needle Ant’s body had already dimmed slightly.

This time it was truly Water Jet. Deng Tianyue’s face turned grim, and he shouted again, “Double Payback!”

“Giant Needle!”

Giant Needle Ant also realized that the damage it was about to sustain would be immense. It cried out, its limb muscles tensed, and the rose-red light on its body suddenly brightened twofold.

“Bang!!!”

At this moment, Lubaowrapped in water, collided with Giant Needle Ant at an extremely fast speed.

Giant Needle Ant instantly turned into an afterimage, flying backward out of the battle arena and crashing into the railing beneath the spectator stands.
