Chapter 589: Pet beast 2V2 battle test

Qu Zhuo seemed to not want to waste a single moment after leaving the Yu Beast Center, turning his head and walking away with a cold, unfeeling demeanor.

Tang Yi looked at Qu Zhuo’s retreating figure, deep in thought:

“What dangerous thing do you think Teacher did to get himself into that state?”

Qiao Sang shrugged: “In any case, it’s not something at our current level that we can get involved in.”

With that, she turned and said, “I’m going to buy a Pet Identifier here. Want to come along?”

Tang Yi was startled, then quickly caught up: “Sure!”

The two soon arrived at a nearby Pet supply store.

“Do you have any new model Pet Identifiers?” Qiao Sang asked, getting straight to the point.

The Staff enthusiastically recommended:

“Of course, Hongxi recently released its latest dynamic Pet Identifier. Normally, you can wear it on your wrist like a watch, and to identify a Pet, you just point it at the Pet.”

As she spoke, she walked to the counter and was about to take out a black, watch-like Pet Identifier from inside.

Qiao Sang quickly and tactfully declined:

“Do you have any others?”

Are you kidding? If a Pet was right in front, clenching your fist and pointing the Pet Identifier on your wrist forward to scan it, it would look too much like a transformation pose from an anime—too childish.

The Staff took out another pink, ultra-thin Pet Identifier from the counter and introduced it:

“This Pet Identifier is convenient to carry and is Ai Chuang’s new model from the past year.”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to take it to try, Tang Yi, who was beside her, asked:

“Do you have the latest model of Quan Jian’s Star Appraisal series?”

The Staff was momentarily stunned: “No, the latest models of the Star Appraisal series all require advance reservations. If you want one, I can call the main store now to apply, and you can come pick it up in about a week.”

Having spent a long time with wealthy people, Qiao Sang knew a few things she should know.

The Star Appraisal series of Pet Identifiers can identify Pets across the entire galaxy, costing nearly ten times more than ordinary Pet Identifiers. If one isn’t planning intergalactic travel, honestly, the extra features might never be used in a lifetime.

Buying a Pet Identifier that can identify Pets across the entire galaxy would indeed be good; she could still use it when she returned to Blue Star. However, she couldn’t wait a week. It would be better to wait until she returned to the Third District… Just as Qiao Sang was about to leave, her peripheral vision caught Xiao Xunbao still drooping its head, immersed in the sorrow of becoming the third-ranked Pet. She couldn’t help but say:

“Xiao Xunbao, see what kind of Pet Identifier you like.”

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao’s ears perked up, and he immediately became energetic, floating to the counter to seriously pick one out.

Fortunately, she had money now. First, she would distract Xiao Xunbao, and then she could just buy another one when they returned to the Third District… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao’s back, a smile in her eyes.

…

The next day.

Nine in the morning.

Yu Beast Center.

Outdoor training ground.

Yu Beast Masters from the Lower Tenth District are constantly on the move, primarily focused on solving practical problems. Few have the time to train quietly, so there weren’t many Yu Beast Masters at the training ground at this hour, only a handful.

The venue was vast, and everyone’s positions were far apart, so they didn’t interfere with each other.

After Qu Zhuo had Head Rock C prepare all the filming equipment, he began according to the procedure:

“This Pet 2V2 battle test will be fully monitored and synchronously uploaded to Zhongkong University, where three other teachers on Blue Star will conduct remote supervision via the network.”

“During the assessment, each Pet must be summoned on-site.”

“The assessment duration is 20 minutes. The longer the battle lasts, the higher the score.”

As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Sang and Tang Yi: “Who wants to go first?”

Qiao Sang raised her hand.

“Alright.” Qu Zhuo nodded slightly: “Then you go first.”

“No.” Qiao Sang explained: “Teacher, I wanted to ask what if I win within 20 minutes?”

Qu Zhuo’s mouth twitched: “Then you get a perfect score.”

Qiao Sang took a step forward and said seriously: “I’ll go first.”

Tang Yi was immediately touched.

It was well-known that when there was only one assessment teacher, the first person to be assessed was at a disadvantage. Although for those at their level, having won the National Campus Pet Beast League championship and runner-up, the battle test was generally not a big problem unless special circumstances arose, Tang Yi was still instinctively touched.

Qiao Sang walked to one side of the battle arena and stood firm.

“Toutou!” Head Rock C, serving as referee, picked up the green flag he had prepared earlier and waved it down.

Qiao Sang and Qu Zhuo formed hand seals, and two orange-yellow star arrays lit up simultaneously.

The next second, Lu Bao and a Pet of the Flying-type, about three meters in size, with gray-black feathers, white wingtips and tail feathers, and a pair of terrifyingly bright black eyes, appeared on the field.

Kui Bo Eagle, a High Level Flying-type Pet from Super Dormant Star. Its eyes are incredibly sharp, with a special structure that allows it to clearly see things a thousand meters away, even the texture on a flying insect’s wings… Information about the Pet in front of her flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

During her time on Super Dormant Star, she had come to know many of the Pets there, and Kui Bo Eagle happened to be one of them.

Using Ice Kexilu’s Healing Light to prolong the battle duration… On the other side, Qu Zhuo looked at Lu Bao, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Bao and Kui Bo Eagle sprang into action.

Lu Bao slightly raised its head and swiftly sprayed Water Gun.

The Kui Bo Eagle, which had already flapped its wings to approach, flickered its body, dodging the Water Gun attack, and in the process of dodging, it split into three, performing Shadow Clone.

Three identical Kui Bo Eagles, with their heads down and figures blurring from speed, charged towards Lu Bao’s position with an incredibly fierce momentum.

Lu Bao leaped into a certain water droplet on the ground, instantly vanishing.

Using Ice Kexilu’s Water Fusion ability to evade attacks, not bad… Qu Zhuo silently scored in his mind.

The Kui Bo Eagle struck empty air. Seeing that its opponent was gone, it didn’t hesitate at all. It steadied itself, flapped its wings forcefully towards the ground, and a burst of Typhoon instantly poured down from above, blowing all the water droplets previously left on the ground by the Water Gun upwards!

“Icy Wind.” At this moment, Qiao Sang gave the command.

As Qiao Sang spoke, in mid-air, less than five meters in front of the Kui Bo Eagle, Lu Bao’s figure suddenly burst out from a water droplet!

It opened its mouth, and an extremely cold aura rapidly swept towards the three identical Kui Bo Eagles.

“Enhanced Typhoon.” Qu Zhuo said unhurriedly.

Under the attack of Icy Wind, the two Kui Bo Eagles on the left and right collapsed and dissipated, leaving only the remaining Kui Bo Eagle. It didn’t dodge at all; instead, it flapped its wings and actively charged into the attack range of Icy Wind.

However, as it charged into the Icy Wind, a cyan glow enveloped its body, suddenly accelerating its speed.

The icy cold wind blew across the Kui Bo Eagle’s body, only condensing an ultra-thin layer of ice shell.

The Kui Bo Eagle slowed down.

But the next second, the Kui Bo Eagle, glowing with a cyan light, opened its wings and flapped forcefully during its fierce charge. A Typhoon instantly surged and raged.

A Typhoon, many times more powerful than the Icy Wind, instantly blew the Icy Wind away.

The ice shell shattered.

Accompanying the Kui Bo Eagle’s high-speed advance, a large-range Typhoon formed around it, affecting everything in its path.

Brave Bird Attack combined with Typhoon… Qiao Sang felt it was tricky.

This was the first time she had encountered an opponent using a combination skill in battle…

…

At the same time, the three invigilating teachers on Blue Star also saw this scene on the virtual screen.

“Isn’t using combination skills against candidates in the special recruitment assessment making the difficulty too high? Was it like this in previous years?” a teacher who had just become an invigilator this year asked, puzzled.

“It varies from person to person. The champions of the National Campus Pet Beast League are all quite capable. If the difficulty isn’t increased, the assessment would be too easy for them. Using combination skills is also to see where their limits are.” Another teacher with half-white hair said.

The young teacher next to him, who looked only about thirty, added: “And it’s also to remind them that after entering university, combination skills will be the focus in battles.”

“If combination skills are only used against individual candidates, and it leads to a very short battle time, wouldn’t that be unfair?” the teacher who had just become an invigilator this year asked.

“Whether the time is short or not is just one reference. The main assessment standard still depends on the overall performance in battle.” The teacher with half-white hair said.

“Qiao Sang is the champion of the National Campus Pet Beast League.” The young teacher said with a smile:

“If she were to be defeated by a combination skill that easily, she wouldn’t have become this champion.”

…

During their conversation.

The Kui Bo Eagle, glowing with a blue light and performing Brave Bird Attack, charged towards Lu Bao with a howling Typhoon.

There was no way to dodge… Qiao Sang, who had a complete grasp of Lu Bao’s physical abilities, knew with just one glance that Lu Bao couldn’t evade this attack.

However, Qiao Sang was not particularly flustered.

For attacks that couldn’t be dodged and involved physical contact, Lu Bao knew what to do.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu Bao showed a serious expression, its claws digging forcefully into the ground.

“Bang!”

Just as its sharp claws had dug into the ground, the Kui Bo Eagle slammed hard into Lu Bao’s body.

“Ice Ke!”

“Kui Kui!”

Lu Bao and Kui Bo Eagle simultaneously let out cries of pain.

The scene Qu Zhuo had imagined, where Ice Kexilu was repelled and then subjected to a secondary attack by the Typhoon, did not occur.

On the field, Ice Kexilu was rapidly sent flying backward from the impact.

But the Kui Bo Eagle seemed to be tightly stuck to its body, flying backward along with Ice Kexilu!

Qu Zhuo was momentarily stunned.

He looked closely and saw that Ice Kexilu had grown a dozen Ice Cones on its body, almost all of them impaled in the Kui Bo Eagle.

It was these Ice Cones that caused the Kui Bo Eagle to fly backward along with Ice Kexilu.

Ice Shard Guard… After understanding what was happening, Qu Zhuo’s pupils suddenly constricted.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Healing Light.”

Lu Bao struggled to open its eyes.

Then, a blue light illuminated its body.

After the blue light dissipated, Lu Bao, completely unharmed, quickly leaped backward, creating some distance from the Kui Bo Eagle.

Only the battered Kui Bo Eagle remained in place.

“Ice Flower Seal.” Qiao Sang immediately followed up.

“Ice Ke.”

Lu Bao looked up and began to gather energy.

“No need.” Qu Zhuo suddenly waved his hand, recalling the injured Kui Bo Eagle into his yu beast codex.

Qiao Sang looked at him, bewildered.

Qu Zhuo coughed and said:

“You performed well in this match. Let’s continue with the next one.”
