Chapter 59: First group battle list

“Clang!!!”

The force meter shattered, and the special pressure-resistant target was also penetrated by flames, leaving a smell of charring.

The Fire Fang Dog looked at the results with satisfaction.

It turned its head, wanting to show off to its Yu Beast Master.

But it found her staring blankly, standing still as if struck by lightning.

“Fang?”

The Fire Fang Dog ran over worriedly.

Did its Yu Beast Master suddenly go silly?

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time before accepting reality.

If heaven gave her another chance.

She swore she would never bring the Fire Fang Dog into this Pet gym, not even half a step!

No!

Not even half a step into any Pet gym!

Under the gaze of everyone present at the Pet gym, Qiao Sang tremblingly took out her phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, Mom…”

An hour later, led by her mother, Qiao Sang walked out of the Pet gym.

“Three times in one month,” her mother said.

Qiao Sang knew what her mother was referring to.

Once a TV, once a celadon vase, once a force meter.

But what her mother didn’t know was that there was also the alley wall…

“It’s all my fault,” Qiao Sang said.

She was the one who brought the Fire Fang Dog to watch the TV, she was the one who made the Fire Fang Dog clean, causing the celadon vase to break, and she was the one who made the Fire Fang Dog test the force meter.

And that time in the alley…

“Of course, it’s your fault,” her mother looked over pointedly. “This money will be deducted from your allowance every month, 2000 alliance coins per month until it’s paid off.”

Qiao Sang’s brain quickly went into overdrive.

Her mother had just paid 34,000 alliance coins in compensation.

2000 a month meant it would be deducted for over a year and five months…

What a human tragedy…

…

7:30 PM.

Qiao Sang seriously studied the remaining contestants in the Bai Xin Competition.

After today’s matches, the top 16 had been decided.

As long as she won tomorrow, she would be in the top 8.

It was worth noting that while ranks 4 to 10 didn’t have prizes as generous as the top three, they all received a uniform reward of 30,000 alliance coins, which would perfectly cover her losses today.

Qiao Sang looked at the list she had just organized.

Among the top 16, including herself, only 4 were Yu Beast Masters who still only possessed Beginner Pets.

The Pets of the other 12 contestants were all Intermediate Pets.

Among these 12, 3 contestants even had two Intermediate Pets.

A total of 15 Intermediate Pets, as long as she didn’t encounter any of them…

Qiao Sang studied for over an hour.

“Fang.”

Just then, the Fire Fang Dog barked from beside her.

Qiao Sang looked down.

She saw yellow, purple, and green sunglasses laid out on the ground.

“Fang fang.”

The Fire Fang Dog looked at its Yu Beast Master, then at the sunglasses, its expression troubled.

“This one,” Qiao Sang said, pointing to the purple sunglasses.

These past few days, the Fire Fang Dog had been wearing different sunglasses for its matches. It had a slight case of indecisiveness, and Qiao Sang always made the decision for it.

The Fire Fang Dog picked up the sunglasses its Yu Beast Master chose, put them on, and turned to look at itself in the full-length mirror nearby.

Qiao Sang found the Fire Fang Dog’s actions amusing, then suddenly remembered something and entered the yu beast codex.

Her mind had been completely preoccupied with the money she had lost, and she had forgotten to check what skill the Fire Fang Dog had awakened.

【Name: Fire Fang Dog】

【Attribute: Fire】

【Level: Beginner (160/1000) +】

【Skills: Bite (Beginner 74/100) +

Ram (Proficient 466/500) +

Fire Fang (Minor Accomplishment 609/2000) +

Spark (Minor Accomplishment 745/2000) +

Shadow Clone (Beginner 72/100) +

Flame Vortex (Proficient 118/500) +

Flame Charge (Beginner 1/100) +】

【Points: 220】

The Fire Fang Dog had not stopped training these past two days, and all its stats had increased slightly.

Flame Vortex had advanced from Beginner to Proficient.

The Points directly increased by 80 after defeating the Desert Tail Fox, and another 14 were added from defeating the Muscle Pig.

The Points gained from defeating the Desert Tail Fox twice were not the same.

Qiao Sang guessed that it was because the first time the Desert Tail Fox was defeated, it was a joint effort between the Fire Fang Dog and the Fat Home Dove. Although the Fire Fang Dog delivered the final blow, it only received a portion of the Points.

And the Points obtained from defeating the Muscle Pig were also slightly different from the previous times defeating Beginner Pets.

It should be due to the difference in strength.

Qiao Sang’s gaze moved to the last skill slot.

It was Flame Charge!

This skill was considered one of the more difficult Intermediate skills to learn. If one were to seek specialized institutions to learn Flame Charge, it would likely start at six figures.

If she had had the money to buy medicinal herbs for the Fire Fang Dog’s bath back then, it would have been over 10,000 alliance coins per bath, and half a month would have been nearly 160,000 alliance coins…

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

Calculated this way, she seemed to have even made a profit!

…

…

The next day.

Hunt Park.

Pet Arena.

Qiao Sang saw Bai Yunmiao in her usual spot.

“What, did your parents argue again?” Qiao Sang said with a smile, holding the Fire Fang Dog and sitting next to her.

“Qiao Genius, you’re so smart!” Bai Yunmiao said admiringly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Why did they argue again?” Qiao Sang asked.

“It’s still about yesterday’s matter. I asked the Sprinkling Gold Vine for its opinion, and it wanted to evolve into a Sweetknot Vine. I told my parents, and then my dad said it was my mom’s fault that I made this decision, and then they started arguing,” Bai Yunmiao explained.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Such a realistic married life…

Before she could think of how to comfort her, Bai Yunmiao exclaimed in surprise, “Qiao Genius, why do I feel like you’re different from two days ago?”

Qiao Sang was startled and asked, “How am I different?”

“Your expression is different. A few days ago, you had the calm of a master, but today you look full of joy,” Bai Yunmiao leaned closer and asked with a smile, “Did something good happen?”

“You noticed,” Qiao Sang said helplessly.

“What is it?” Bai Yunmiao was full of gossip.

“Yesterday, the Fire Fang Dog broke a force meter…” Qiao Sang paused.

Bai Yunmiao’s gaze uncontrollably shifted to the Fire Fang Dog wearing sunglasses.

As expected of a Fire-type Pet, only Qiao Genius could handle this personality; she definitely couldn’t.

Even if her brain region developed further and she could contract a second Pet, she would definitely not consider a Fire-type…

“And then it learned Flame Charge,” Qiao Sang continued.

“Holy crap!” Bai Yunmiao’s eyes instantly widened.

Please give her ten thousand of such Fire-type Pets!

The 16-to-8 matches, due to fewer participants and ample time, did not display all contestants’ groupings directly on the big screen like in the previous days.

Instead, the next group of contestants to battle would be displayed on the big screen only after one group finished.

Contestants also didn’t need to queue up backstage in advance.

Because between matches, Pet Performers would come on stage to perform, adding some fun for the audience.

With the sound of fireworks, the Pet Performer warmed up the crowd.

After the Commentator and guest’s opening remarks concluded, the photos on the large screen above the Pet Arena continuously scrolled and interchanged.

Five seconds later, a set of photos appeared on the screen.

“The first match list has been decided! It’s contestant Lu You, whose Pet is the Little Horned Dragon, a symbol of strength and power! And contestant Qiao Sang, who had the courage to contract a Fire Fang Dog, a Fire-type Pet, as her very first Pet!” the Commentator introduced passionately.
