Chapter 541: Pet beast arena competition

Qiao Sang walked into the contestant waiting area, just about to gossip about who Naiteng was.

At this moment, the Commentator’s voice rang out:

“Naiteng effortlessly won again! In the rankings of all D-level Beastmaster arena matches in the Upper Tenth District, he consistently ranks around 70th, and last year he even achieved an excellent 68th place. As our star contestant from the Third District, he has never disappointed us!”

Qiao Sang looked at the holographic screen that was simultaneously displaying the arena scene.

The screen was giving a close-up of a red-haired young man with distinct features.

“Is he Naiteng?” Qiao Sang asked.

Tang Yi nodded: “That’s what they just introduced him as.”

A star contestant, no wonder he has an agent… Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked: “How are these rankings determined?”

Qiao Sang spent all day buried in books, never appearing in group chats, and didn’t even know about points initially. She had only attended the Pet arena matches, which were so popular on Super Dormant Star, for the first time yesterday. Tang Yi was already used to her asking questions that everyone else knew.

He explained:

“The Upper Tenth District holds Pet arena championships at a fixed time every year. Yu Beast Masters of every level can participate, and the rankings are determined at that time and updated annually.”

“Contestants who can rank in the top 100, which are the star contestants, basically have specialized teams behind them. Their comprehensive strength is widely recognized as the most top-tier among Yu Beast Masters of the same level.”

Qiao Sang looked at Tang Yi: “Then wouldn’t contestants without a team be significantly weaker in strength?”

Unlike the National Campus Pet Beast League, many large-scale competitions on Blue Star allow the use of items and Spiritual Marks. The most popular contestants in these competitions have specialized item brands and Spirit Mark Master teams collaborating with them.

After all, this is also a form of promotion, allowing more people to see their brands.

To get popular contestants to use their brand’s items, those brand owners would even pay exorbitant prices to have these contestants use their items and Spiritual Marks.

Over time, some people saw the benefits, and specialized companies hired people to handle the对接 work.

With agents, naturally came star contestants.

When a contestant who is already quite strong has a team supporting them, it’s hard for them to lose.

“That’s why it’s said their comprehensive strength is recognized as the strongest,” Tang Yi said. “Who says items and Spiritual Marks aren’t part of one’s strength?”

That makes sense… Qiao Sang looked at Naiteng, who was already in the next match on the virtual screen.

Star contestants evolve from ordinary contestants, and with more attention, they need to demonstrate their strength and value to various brand owners.

Moreover, losing even one match could spark widespread discussion among netizens online, so they truly cannot view wins and losses as lightly as ordinary contestants.

No wonder his agent was playing those little tricks behind the scenes.

Logically speaking, the top 100 Yu Beast Masters in a given level in the Upper Tenth District should be the pinnacle of existence, but it seems there might be some inflated results…

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, Qiao Sang’s information appeared among the contestants for the next round.

Tang Yi was a bit confused: “Why are you going first? I clearly registered before you.”

Qiao Sang shook her head: “I don’t know either.”

At this moment, a contestant who was also looking at the screen nearby glanced over:

“You guys don’t know this? Here, it’s not necessarily first come, first served. The person on the arena now is Naiteng. If they send up ordinary people, it will raise questions about fairness, making people think they’re intentionally choosing weak people to let Naiteng get consecutive wins and become today’s Arena King.”

Tang Yi: “…”

That stings.

He, a runner-up in the third-year National Campus Pet Beast League, was actually judged as weak…

Not bad, good insight, you can tell her strength just from her information… Seeing Tang Yi’s expression, Qiao Sang comforted him:

“Your current information still shows you as an E-level Beastmaster. Once you pass the assessment to become a D-level Beastmaster, it won’t be like this.”

Tang Yi nodded, pulled out his phone: “I’ll go check for suitable Pets to contract right now!”

But as soon as he pulled it out, he immediately thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked: “Are you confident you’ll win?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “Yes.”

Tang Yi immediately turned and walked towards the betting area.

Qiao Sang stopped him.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Yi turned his head and asked.

“Are you going to place a bet?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Yes.” Tang Yi said excitedly: “You’re up against a star contestant! Betting on you would definitely be a huge upset!”

Qiao Sang said with a laugh: “You believe me just because I said yes?”

“The people here don’t know your strength, but I do.” Tang Yi glanced at the people around them, leaned in and lowered his voice: “Besides, I’ve watched Naiteng’s performance in the last few matches. He’s definitely not your opponent. What’s more, he’s already fought so many consecutive matches. His fatigue period against your peak condition, you’re definitely going to win.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself, as expected of a runner-up, his analysis was spot on.

“I’ll transfer 100,000 to you now, help me place a bet too.” Qiao Sang said.

After speaking, she pulled out her phone and started operating.

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment: “Didn’t you ask You Na to place a bet for you?”

Qiao Sang looked at him: “Who would complain about having too much money?”

Tang Yi heard this and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, asking: “What’s your score prediction?”

“3 to 0, me 3, him 0.” Qiao Sang said.

…

Fifteen minutes later.

The Commentator began:

“This is already the 21st match! If Naiteng wins just 4 more matches, he will become our new Arena King today!”

“The next contestant is making her first appearance in our arena matches. To be able to face contestant Naiteng right away, I don’t know whether to envy her or pity her.”

Qiao Sang walked onto the command stage.

She listened to these words, her expression unchanged.

Betting on herself to win 3:0 wasn’t because she underestimated this star contestant. It was simply that she had watched several of his matches from below and had learned some important information about his Pet’s attributes, skill power, and item usage.

However, Naiteng knew nothing about her.

Most importantly, as Tang Yi said, Naiteng was already in a fatigue period.

If she couldn’t win even like this, then winning the National Campus Pet Beast League championship would truly be for nothing.

As Qiao Sang appeared, the audience immediately grew noisy, with discussions rising and falling.

Although there was no age limit for Pet arena matches, the girl on stage truly looked a bit too young.

“I’m a bit nearsighted, can someone tell me what kind of Pet is next to her?”

“Sending up someone so young, isn’t this clearly trying to let Naiteng get consecutive wins?”

“She must be underage!”

“Some people just look young, do you think the outcome is that easy to guess? The Pet arena betting pool would never do a losing business, so it definitely won’t be 3:0.”

“Indeed, Naiteng will definitely win, but it probably won’t be a clean sweep.”

“That makes sense, what did you bet on?”

“Hehe, 3:1.”

…

At the same time, in the office area on one side of the venue.

The Middle-aged Man in black looked at the clearly youthful face on the arena and frowned: “Are you sure this child can put pressure on Naiteng?”

The Staff sitting in a chair, sifting through contestant information, assured him: “Absolutely. The information shows she has three High-level Pets.”

Three High-level Pets… The Middle-aged Man was momentarily stunned.

She has three High-level Pets, but isn’t this contestant a bit too young?!

“How old is she?” The Middle-aged Man couldn’t help but ask.

“Let me check.” The Staff said.

Contestants here have no age limit, so there are many people every day. His main job is to filter suitable opponents for battles. He doesn’t have time to check ages, and there’s no need to. He only checks the level of the Yu Beast Master and their Pet.

Isn’t she just a little young, what’s there to be curious about… The Staff picked up the water cup next to him, drinking water while checking.

Two seconds later.

“Pfft!”

The Staff directly sprayed out all the water he had just put in his mouth.

“What’s wrong with you?” The Middle-aged Man frowned.

The Staff didn’t bother wiping the screen. He stared intently at the information on it, his voice sharp:

“Oh my god! 15! She’s only 15 years old!”

Hope to finish writing the match tomorrow!
