Chapter 446: Fire Bird (2-in-1)

If Fire Finch’s Flash Fire ability reached A-level or above, then it would be reasonable for it to “battle” High Level Fire System Pets at the Beginner stage.

Because that wouldn’t be a battle at all, but a test of Fire Finch’s Flash Fire ability’s endurance!

Liu Yao looked at Qiao Sang: “That’s what I wanted to say. If it’s really like that, and you encounter her, I suggest you don’t send out Liao Xing Hound.”

Ya Bao, who was eating, twitched his ears.

Liu Yao continued:

“Liao Xing Hound’s most damaging skills are basically Fire System. Although he also has Superpower System skills, none of them are powerful in terms of destruction.”

“Even though Liao Xing Hound’s Mars Rain has reached Profound Level, if Fire Finch is truly as you suspect, then there are two possibilities.”

“One is that its Flash Fire ability has reached A-level. In that case, with Pets of the same level, Profound Level Mars Rain might cause it some damage, but it definitely won’t be fatal. More likely, it will make its Fire attribute skills stronger.”

“The second is that its Flash Fire ability has reached S-level. Then the Mars Rain unleashed by Liao Xing Hound would be like rain to it, and it might even feel much more comfortable than rain.”

“Regardless of which, it would be very disadvantageous for Liao Xing Hound.”

“Ya…”

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao looked up, feeling that the food was no longer as appealing.

Liu Yao continued:

“Although I wasn’t there in person, I’ve been watching your matches live. I’ve noticed that many times, even when you know the opponent Pet’s situation, you still send out Pets that are disadvantageous to you.”

“Take this district competition for example. You clearly have Liao Xing Hound and Ice Kexilu, yet you still sent out Treasure Hunting Fairy most of the time.”

Speaking of this, he said in an understanding tone:

“I know you want your Pets to improve faster.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, ‘You’re thinking too much. I just simply want more Points. How can bullying weaker opponents with Ya Bao and Lu Bao earn as many Points as Little Qunbao entering the field?’

“But the National Competition is next, and every step is crucial.” Liu Yao’s tone shifted, and he said earnestly: “There’s plenty of time to train your Pets after the competition. I hope you make winning your primary goal in the National Competition.”

“Only the weak say ‘it’s the participation that counts’.”

“Originally, I didn’t plan to say these things, but now the situation is different.” Liu Yao stared at Qiao Sang and said seriously, word by word:

“Now, you have a very high chance of winning the National Campus Pet Beast League’s third-year division championship while only being in your first year of high school. Since the National Campus Pet Beast League began, no student has ever achieved such a feat.”

“If you succeed, your future will be limitless!”

As expected of the Vice Principal… Sun Boyi subtly glanced at him, secretly admiring him.

He had actually noticed this issue with Qiao Sang long ago, but Qiao Sang kept winning, and she never relied on him for training or anything, making him, the coach, seem like a mere decoration. This made it difficult to find an opening to bring it up.

The Vice Principal was indeed shrewd, using a strategy of first suppressing, then praising, and getting straight to the Point in just a few sentences.

What the Vice Principal said made sense. There’s plenty of time to earn Points, but the chance to win the National Campus Pet Beast League championship in her first year of high school is only this once… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then nodded, and said seriously:

“I understand.”

After Liu Yao and Sun Boyi left, Qiao Sang picked up the资料 and began to read through it.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao walked over and looked at the paper资料 with her. After a while, he realized he couldn’t understand it, so he called out, directly asking which guy wasn’t afraid of fire?

“This one.” Qiao Sang placed the资料 about Song Xinyue in front of him, pointing to the red bird-like Pet photo on it.

“Ya…” Ya Bao stared intently at the photo.

Qiao Sang didn’t notice Ya Bao’s expression and continued to look at the资料.

…

It was past two in the morning, and Qiao Sang had no intention of sleeping.

In the dark room, only the phone screen illuminated her face.

The screen displayed the official forum of the National Campus Pet Beast League.

Every minute, many new posts appeared on the forum, making it clear that there were many night owls from various regions.

Everyone was basically discussing the contestants from their own regions who were expected to win the championship.

The hottest topic was a post titled # ChapterWho is Most Likely to Become Champion in Each Region’s Third-Year Division# Chapter.

Netizens in the comment section came from all over the country. One praised their region’s genius, another praised their region’s anomaly. For a while, it was very lively.

【To say who is most likely to win the championship, it still has to be Zhao Chuanyu from our Zhongkong Area! Two High-level Pets, who else can be so awesome?!】

【Upstairs, your internet must be 2G, your news is so outdated. Our Yuhua Area has produced an unparalleled genius, 15 years old, three Pets, two of which are High Level! He just won first place in the district competition held in Ancient Mist Area. Go check it out quickly, lest you always think your own area is the best in the world.】

【Ahaha, are there any family members from Yuhua Area? I just finished watching the replay of the Ancient Mist Area district competition. Who can understand that feeling of pride and vindication?! It was so satisfying!】

【Your Yuhua Area’s third-year division needs a first-year student to compete, and you’re still so arrogant? Where’s your face? Are there no one left in your third-year division?】

【Collapsed, collapsed, the upstairs poster’s mentality has collapsed. If a third-year loses to a first-year from our region, shouldn’t you be the one losing face?】

【At this Point, I have to step in and say, have you forgotten Zhang Wandu from our Chongdao Area?】

【Zhang Wandu isn’t a champion, he’s the perennial runner-up.】

【The runner-up is the closest person to the champion, understand?!】

【First, I want to say I’m from Ancient Mist Area. Second, I want to say that Zhao Chuanyu from Zhongkong Area is a thing of the past. Qiao Sang from Yuhua Area is the most amazing!】

【No, does anyone still remember Cui Pingkun from our Liaoxi Area?】

【I remember. Cui Pingkun’s High Level Mechanical System Pet in the last competition was the combat power ceiling for the second-year division at that time. It’s a pity his other Mechanical System Pet was Beginner, too much of a drag. He wouldn’t still have a Beginner Mechanical System Pet as his second one this year, right? Hahaha.】

【I’m about to die laughing. What kind of presence is Yuhua Area trying to find? Did they even make it into the top ten last year? Stop bragging for your own region. An unparalleled genius at 15? Even if there is one, he’d be participating in the first-year division competition. What does that have to do with our third-year division? I’m putting it out there directly, our Zhongkong Area will not lose!】

【Upstairs, I’ll give you a dollar, quickly change Zhongkong Area to another region! Yuhua Area really has such a person, stop embarrassing our Zhongkong Area!】

【…】

Qiao Sang looked for a while and then lost interest.

There was basically no information about the champion candidates’ Pets on it, so it had no reference value.

She specifically noted down the names that appeared in the posts, then exited the forum and clicked on the search bar, intending to look up the auction items that would appear at this year’s Mu Zhen Auction.

Generally speaking, items that might appear at an auction would be revealed a bit in advance.

Typing “Mu Zhen Auction”, the webpage quickly redirected.

【We are sorry, the content you are trying to access does not exist】

Qiao Sang: “…”

So mysterious… Qiao Sang checked the time and turned off her phone.

…

The next day.

Mo Ting Hotel, 15th floor.

Pet Beast training ground.

Ya Bao wore a lightweight shrinking wristband, maintaining the size he was during his Fire Fang Dog period, and used Superpower to control a dozen Gravity steel beads.

When a lightweight shrinking wristband is worn, while the Pet’s body size shrinks, the energy released is also far less than when its body size is normal.

“Ya Bao, why aren’t you practicing Fire System skills today?” Qiao Sang asked when she saw Ya Bao immediately ask Little Qunbao to take out Gravity steel beads from the ring as soon as he arrived.

There was an advantage to buying all the items in the prop store: you could find one or two items for any purpose.

Gravity steel beads were one of them.

Don’t let their small, marble-like appearance fool you; each one weighed 20 kilograms.

They could be used to train the Superpower’s cohesion.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, while controlling the Gravity steel beads with Superpower, called out, indicating that since the opponent wasn’t afraid of fire, he would defeat her with Superpower System skills!

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Are you talking about Fire Finch?”

Fire Finch, the High Level form of Fire Finch.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao nodded.

Qiao Sang: “…”

How do I say this? Should I just say that if I encounter her, I never planned to send you out… Qiao Sang thought for a moment and finally said tactfully:

“Actually, there are many other opponents, and we might not necessarily encounter her.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao called out with a serious expression, indicating that there was still a chance to encounter her, and that he needed to prepare early!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to tell him directly, a Pet with colorful feathers, though red was still the dominant color, a green head, a crest made of two feathers, and eyes that occasionally squinted, clearly not having slept well, slowly walked in.

Mo Ting Hotel’s Pet Beast battleground was a public area, and any guest staying at the hotel could come here.

Fire Finch… Qiao Sang was stunned as she looked at the Pet that walked in.

“Ya!”

At the same time, Ya Bao also saw Fire Finch. He immediately stopped practicing, his eyes shining, and called out to Fire Finch with full battle intent, issuing a battle invitation.

Fire Finch stopped, stared at Ya Bao for two seconds, then opened his mouth and yawned.

Ya Bao: “…”

“Why aren’t you going in?” Behind Fire Finch, a weak, tired female voice, clearly not having slept well, suddenly sounded.

The next second, a girl with messy hair and a slightly delicate appearance appeared in Qiao Sang’s line of sight.

Immediately, the girl’s appearance and the photo of Song Xinyue in the资料 overlapped in her mind.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang was shocked. She never expected to run into Song Xinyue here!

She originally thought she had only seen a fellow species of Fire Finch, but she never expected this Fire Finch to be that Fire Finch!

“Fire Finch…” On the other side, Fire Finch turned and called out to Song Xinyue.

Hearing Fire Finch’s words, Song Xinyue looked at the Pet not far away, which was only about 60 centimeters tall but had an unusually magnificent appearance.

Her mind suddenly cleared, and all sleepiness vanished.

This, isn’t this a miniature version of Liao Xing Hound!

Song Xinyue immediately thought of something and looked to the side. Sure enough, she saw the figure that her coach had mentioned countless times.

“Qiao Sang…” Song Xinyue unconsciously uttered the name.

“Ya Ya!” At this moment, Ya Bao once again called out to Fire Finch with full battle intent.

Although Ya Bao couldn’t be sent out during the competition, they could have a private match outside the arena… Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao, walked towards Song Xinyue, smiled and greeted her, and went straight to the Point: “Hello, may I have a match with Fire Finch?”

Song Xinyue was stunned for a moment, recalling what her coach had told her.

“Although Qiao Sang from Yuhua Area is young, in some aspects, she is no less inferior to a Professional Beast Tamer. Her Ice Kexilu might be your biggest obstacle in this National Competition.”

Ice Kexilu… Song Xinyue nodded: “Okay.”

“Ya Ya!”

Seeing that the other party agreed, Ya Bao immediately showed an excited expression.

As both sides took their positions, Ya Bao stepped forward. Just as his eyes glowed blue and he was about to look at the lightweight shrinking wristband on his paw, Song Xinyue exclaimed in surprise: “Wait! You’re sending out Liao Xing Hound?”

Qiao Sang was not surprised that Song Xinyue knew Ya Bao.

Her hearing was excellent, and she had heard the other party say her name at the beginning.

As expected, Song Xinyue must have recognized her too.

“Is there a problem?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ya?” Ya Bao’s blue eyes faded, revealing a puzzled expression.

Song Xinyue hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “My Fire Finch doesn’t like battling Fire System Pets. He finds it unchallenging.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Ya Bao: “???”

As if to confirm what her Yu Beast Master said, Fire Finch glanced at Ya Bao, then covered his mouth with his wing and yawned, then turned and walked away.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Ya Bao: “!!!”

“I’m sorry!” Song Xinyue apologized, then turned and quickly chased after him: “Don’t go! If you don’t want to fight, then don’t fight, but you haven’t trained yet!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Ya Ya! Ya Ya! Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao had never been looked down upon like this since he was born. He bared his teeth at Fire Finch’s retreating back, his face red with anger, looking as if he wanted to pounce directly.

Qiao Sang quickly picked him up and comforted him: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Anyway, we’ll meet him in the competition. Just let him know how powerful you are then!”

“Ya Ya! Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao pointed in the direction Fire Finch had left, his expression furious as he called out twice, indicating that they might not meet him in the competition!

Qiao Sang said seriously: “You will meet him!”

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao stopped baring his teeth, his wet eyes staring at his Yu Beast Master, showing a “really?” expression.

Qiao Sang gritted her teeth and said: “Really!”

“Ya!”

Hearing this, Ya Bao immediately rekindled his training enthusiasm. He jumped down from Qiao Sang’s body, wagged his tail, walked to a pile of Gravity steel beads, and resumed his training.

I shouldn’t have asked Song Xinyue for a battle just now… Qiao Sang sighed, feeling a bit regretful.

However, since she had promised Ya Bao, she would naturally send Ya Bao out if she encountered Song Xinyue.

But now, she had to come up with a strategy to specifically deal with Fire Finch using Ya Bao, otherwise, if she only found out that Song Xinyue was her opponent on the day of the competition, it might be too late… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought for a moment.
