Chapter 440: This is the end of the divisional round

Watching Ice Kexilu appear on the field, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers.

Is there anything more exciting than seeing Ice Kexilu in the final match?

No!

Absolutely not!

“Ice Kexilu! Ice Kexilu!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! I love you to death!”

“Ahhh! Qiao Sang really makes me want to cry! Based on her habits, she would definitely have sent out Treasure Hunting Fairy for this match! But she sent out Ice Kexilu for us!”

“Uh, don’t exaggerate too much, isn’t sending out Ice Kexilu even better? It’s a sure win.”

“You from another region, what do you know?!”

“…”

The Middle-aged Man in the back row of the audience, who was suppressed by Jihui Tata, had tears in his eyes.

This injury was worth it!

He would definitely be on the [Annual Audience Lucky Moments] list!

…

Grey Fire Fox, a Mid-level Fire Pet. It can emit hot air from its ears to intimidate opponents, and its characteristic is Flame Body… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in front of her, whose body was mostly grey, with only the insides of its ears and its eyes being red, and relevant information flashed through her mind.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu Bao looked at the little one opposite with a cool expression.

That’s right, just a little one.

The Grey Fire Fox was less than one meter tall, only slightly larger than the little Treasure Hunting Fairy in Lu Bao’s eyes.

“Grey! Grey!”

The Grey Fire Fox tensed its limbs, assuming a posture ready to attack at any moment.

Its expression was a mix of cowardice and eagerness.

At this moment, the mechanical sound signaling the start of the match rang out.

“Flame Jet!” Shao Liben shouted immediately.

Hearing his Yu Beast Master’s command, all traces of cowardice vanished from the Grey Fire Fox’s expression. Its eyes became resolute, and with an open mouth, flames containing High Level heat shot towards Lu Bao’s position.

The speed of the attack was fast, but only for Mid-level Pets.

Lu Bao stood still, the incoming flames appearing to move in 2x slow motion in its eyes.

Just as the flames were about to hit Lu Bao, it took a leisurely step to the left, and the flames brushed past it.

Seeing this scene, the entire arena erupted in cheers, as if they had witnessed a magnificent duel.

“Ice Kexilu! So powerful!”

“666! Look at that calm and composed demeanor, it’s enough to make me swoon!”

“Hey, hey, hey, you people from the Ancient Mist region, don’t be so absurd. A High-level Pet battling a Mid-level Pet, isn’t this basic operation?”

“What do you know? Ice Kexilu makes the same movements look cooler than other High-level Pets!”

“…”

On the field, Shao Liben immediately issued the next command:

“Flame Wheel!”

Flame Wheel, a Mid-level Fire skill, involves covering the entire body with flames and ramming the opponent like a wheel, causing damage and having a certain chance to inflict a burn on the opponent.

“Grey! Grey!”

The Grey Fire Fox let out a cry, then rolled forward, searing flames instantly covering its entire body. It then quickly rolled like a wheel, charging towards Lu Bao.

The scorching heat of the flames and the fierce momentum caused the ground it passed over to visibly steam.

In a blink of an eye, the Grey Fire Fox reached Lu Bao.

Lu Bao seemed to anticipate that the Grey Fire Fox would not attack at this moment, so it stood still.

Sure enough, when the Grey Fire Fox was about one meter away from Lu Bao, it suddenly changed direction and began circling Lu Bao.

The Flame Wheel spun faster and faster, until it became a red afterimage. Then, the Grey Fire Fox suddenly leaped into the air to a height of about 5 meters behind Lu Bao.

It was going to attack the back of Lu Bao’s head!

“Now!” Qiao Sang, who had been closely watching the situation on the field, shouted loudly.

“Ice Ke.”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Lu Bao immediately swung its tail, and a huge stream of water instantly enveloped its tail.

The next second, Lu Bao turned sideways, and its water-enveloped tail accurately struck the Grey Fire Fox.

With a loud “bang,” the Grey Fire Fox was sent flying backward like a cannonball, finally landing heavily on the ground, rolling twice, and then closing its eyes, motionless.

“qu!”

The mechanical Pet wearing a referee’s badge floated beside the Grey Fire Fox, took a look, and blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

I lost… Shao Liben glanced at Qiao Sang, waved his hand, and recalled his Grey Fire Fox.

At this moment, the huge LED canopy above slowly opened.

In the sky, a giant Ice Kexilu made of blue light suddenly appeared.

It flicked its tail, as if dropping blue waves downwards.

When the waves had fallen several meters, the giant Ice Kexilu made of blue light suddenly exploded.

Blue fireworks then rained down from the sky.

“Ice Ke…”

Lu Bao looked up, its eyes completely reflecting the blue fireworks.

Qiao Sang also looked up, thinking to herself that these fireworks were quite beautiful!

“Ladies and gentlemen! The National Campus Pet Beast League, the Regional Competition participated in by contestants from the four major regions of Ancient Mist, Yuhua, Lianke, and Xi Lv, has now concluded!” Yi Ao stood on a blue platform, holding a microphone, and passionately declared: “The awards ceremony will be held in 20 minutes! Please wait a moment!”

As his words fell, thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the arena.

…

While waiting for the awards ceremony at the Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena, in the Central Region.

In a exquisitely and luxuriously decorated conference room, a man sat at the conference table and spoke:

“What do you think about the proposal reported by the Xi Lv region?”

There was no one else at the conference table besides him, only a huge virtual screen at the end.

The video screen was divided into 12 sections, with a person in formal attire appearing in each section.

Each person here was a leader from the education department of the highest authority in various regions.

Who would have thought that a National Campus Pet Beast League, which had already reached the final stage of the Regional Competition, would make these important figures take time out to hold a special meeting for discussion.

“I think this rule should be added. We are selecting the strongest high school students. If someone wins a match by moving their opponent out of bounds using Space Movement, it’s unfair to other students,” said a bald man in the video.

“Heh, being able to train a Pet’s Space Movement to such a level is also a manifestation of strength. What? Restricting Space Movement, is that fair to the student who painstakingly cultivated their Pet to achieve High Level proficiency in Space Movement?” a Middle-aged Man, whose jowls sagged slightly due to his weight, said with dissatisfaction.

One of the relatively younger men calmly stated his thoughts:

“This is a battle in the National Campus Pet Beast League. The main focus is on the word ‘battle’. If all future participants use Space Movement to move their opponents out of bounds, how can there be a competition?”

“Didn’t the Regional Competition also change its rules because someone did that? If the Regional Competition can change, why can’t we?”

The Middle-aged Man, whose jowls sagged slightly due to his weight, snorted coldly and said:

“If the rules are to be changed, it has to wait until this session of the National Campus Pet Beast League is over. Otherwise, it’s already reached the end of the Regional Competition, changing it now, what kind of talk is that?”

At this moment, an old man with white hair smiled and asked:

“Minister Zhou, you’re not opposing this just because this contestant is from your Yuhua region, are you?”

Nonsense, I finally have such a monstrous talent. It seems that winning the National Competition is not a dream. How can I let you arbitrarily weaken her strength… The Middle-aged Man, whose jowls sagged slightly due to his weight, righteously declared:

“What kind of person do you take me for? I am expressing my opinion purely from the perspective of selecting talent, without any selfish motives!”
