Chapter 472: Advanced dragon pet beast

The audience present were momentarily at a loss for words.

It’s common for a High-level Pet to overpower a mid-level Pet, but this is the National Competition, and the mid-level Pets of the participating contestants are all capable of holding their own against High-level Pets.

And Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring Spirit had only recently evolved.

Wu Chongyu’s Ice Pu Dragon, as a rare and powerful Dragon-type Pet Beast, was highly favored by many and was considered an extremely popular Pet.

Although everyone didn’t expect Wu Chongyu to win against Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring Spirit with his Ice Pu Dragon, they never imagined that the Ice Pu Dragon would lose the match in less than half a minute!

“I take back what I said about Wu Chongyu being able to make it into the top five of the National Competition.”

“Last match, I didn’t expect Wu Chongyu’s Electric Cutter Beast to fight Qiao Sang’s Liao Xing Hound to such a degree, and this match, I also didn’t expect the Ice Pu Dragon to be beaten like this by the Ghost Ring Spirit.”

“Me too…”

“Look at this Ghost Ring Spirit, from its appearance to the end of the match, it hasn’t even moved its position.”

“This is the weakest Dragon-type Pet Beast I’ve ever seen…”

“If you’ve seen the Ice Pu Dragon’s other matches, you’d know it’s not weak at all. It’s just that Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring Spirit is too abnormal. The proficiency of Dark Shadow Control and Hypnosis is too high. Let alone mid-level Pets, not many High-level Pets can withstand it.”

“Honestly, the Ice Pu Dragon is the most miserable Pet I’ve seen in the National Competition so far. It only managed to use Frozen Light before it was done for!”

Qiao Sang turned and headed towards the contestant’s passage amidst the noisy discussions of the audience, intending to return to the contestant area.

After entering the contestant’s passage, she had only taken a couple of steps when she suddenly remembered something. She formed a hand seal, preparing to summon Lu Bao to heal Ya Bao.

She had just completed the first gesture of the hand seal.

“Da da da…” Footsteps echoed in the quiet contestant’s passage, followed by a cheerful voice:

“Qiao Sang, that last match was really cool. I knew you’d win.”

Who is it…? Qiao Sang lowered her hand, looked up, and saw a not-so-unfamiliar figure—Zhou Shanliang, the contestant for the next match.

By now, only a few contestants remained, and each had a certain understanding of the others.

Zhou Shanliang, a contestant from Zhiya District.

Although his name means ‘kindness,’ both of his contracted Pets are Ghost-type.

One of his High Level Ghost-type Pets, Masked Dream Ghost, is even notoriously eccentric among the Ghost-type Pets in Zhiya District.

It enjoys sneaking into people’s bodies at night and slowly stealing their body heat.

If targeted by it, one would feel cold 24 hours a day. It also likes to cast curses on people it finds interesting, and its body is said to be filled with cursed energy.

Zhiya District is the region with the most types of Ghost-type Pets among the 13 regions of Dragon Country.

To be famous in a region with so many Ghost-type Pets, it’s not hard to imagine that the Masked Dream Ghost’s temperament must be eccentrically to a degree unacceptable to the general public.

And having contracted such a Masked Dream Ghost, Zhou Shanliang might not be as kind as his name suggests.

After all, it’s a recognized fact that Pets resemble their masters.

Even if they don’t, over a long period of contracting, certain aspects of the Pet and the Yu Beast Master will become more and more similar.

However, Qiao Sang, having contracted Little Qunbao, felt that the world’s perception of Ghost-type Pets was somewhat one-sided.

She also didn’t think that a Yu Beast Master contracting a Pet with a less than stellar reputation necessarily meant that the Yu Beast Master was also not good.

“Thank you, you also do your best in your upcoming match.” Qiao Sang returned a slight smile.

Zhou Shanliang was stunned for a moment, then broke into a bright, cheerful smile: “I will.”

After speaking, he lifted his leg and walked towards the passage exit.

Qiao Sang was just about to take two more steps inside before continuing to summon Ya Bao and Lu Bao.

But suddenly, Zhou Shanliang seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned his head, saying:

“Oh, right, you have a Ghost-type Pet. You can visit our Zhiya District sometime in the future. You’ll gain something from it.”

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned: “I understand.”

…

Qiao Sang returned to the contestant area, holding Ya Bao, who had fully recovered.

At this time, the battle between the second group of contestants had already begun.

Qiao Sang looked at Zhou Shanliang on the field and fell into thought.

Zhiya District is known for its prevalence of Ghost-type Pets, and resources related to Ghost-type Pets are exceptionally abundant. Even if he hadn’t mentioned it, she would have visited it eventually.

However, she definitely wouldn’t have time in the near future.

If she wasn’t very confident when she first participated in the National Campus Pet Beast League, now she is very confident that she can get the Interstellar Exchange Student spot.

Once she gets this spot, she will probably spend a long time on another planet, and then…

At this moment, Sun Boyi suddenly spoke, interrupting Qiao Sang’s thoughts: “How did the Liao Xing Hound defend itself in the thunderstorm at the end?”

“Ya.” Hearing someone wanted to discuss his heroic posture from earlier, Ya Bao’s mouth curved into a proud expression, and he swung his right front paw to the side.

“Xun~”

Little Qunbao immediately understood what Big Brother Ya Bao meant, took off his ring, pulled out a dark green triangular sunglasses from inside, and placed them on Ya Bao’s outstretched paw.

“Yaya…”

Ya Bao put on the sunglasses with his paw, tilted his head up 45 degrees, struck a cool pose, and let out a bark, indicating that the final defense was a long story…

“It was a Counterattack Barrier. Ning Yu’s Exploding Battle Turtle used it before. It was Teacher Zheng who made me learn it,” Qiao Sang said.

Counterattack Barrier… Sun Boyi’s expression was astonished.

As a professional coach, he naturally knew what a Counterattack Barrier was, but he couldn’t understand what kind of skill could form a Counterattack Barrier capable of defending against an attack at the center of a thunderstorm.

Sun Boyi was about to ask when Liu Yao, beside him, suddenly asked: “Was it Teacher Zheng Guoping who taught you?”

“Mhm.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Liu Yao silently glanced at Sun Boyi.

Sun Boyi stopped talking.

Ya Bao: “…”

…

About ten minutes later, Zhou Shanliang predictably won the match.

His opponent, Liu Yongming, was strong, but his ace High-level Pet was Fighting-type.

Ghost-type counters Fighting-type, so being able to hold on for so long was already a testament to his strength.

Time flew by quickly.

The list of qualifiers came out one by one.

It must be said that none of the contestants who made it this far were weak.

Whenever Qiao Sang felt that someone had a greater chance of winning, the other person would suddenly unleash a powerful move and turn the tide.

By the morning, 6 names had qualified.

The most anticipated match between Zhao Chuanyu and Cui Pingkun was scheduled for the afternoon.

…

Qiao Sang didn’t go to the competition venue in the afternoon but watched the live broadcast of the match in her hotel room.

In the video, a massive, mostly red Dragon-type Pet Beast held a fully mechanical Pet and soared into the sky, spinning rapidly.

Visually, it looked like a giant burning fireball.

Dozens of seconds later, the Dragon-type Pet Beast stopped spinning and plummeted at high speed, still holding the mechanical Pet.

Its speed was so fast that it created high-pressure air currents in its wake.

As it neared the ground, the Dragon-type Pet Beast released its claws, and the mechanical Pet in its embrace smashed headfirst into the ground.

“Bang!!!”

With a loud bang, the ground cracked, raising a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, the camera zoomed in, revealing the mechanical Pet, eyes closed and unconscious.

At this point, the screen shifted back to the largely red Dragon-type Pet Beast.

At the same time, the entire screen was filled with bullet comments.

Almost all of them were “666” and “Awesome.”

Qiao Sang turned off the bullet comments and stared at the red Dragon-type Pet Beast in the video.

The Scarlet Horned Dragon, Zhao Chuanyu’s Pet, and also the only High Level Dragon-type Pet Beast in the National Campus Pet Beast League.
