Chapter 659: Snow Hidden Ball (recommended to watch it together tomorrow)

After more than ten seconds, “ss-grade yin chao pearl” replied:

“Have you gotten the ghost fire paste?”

Qiao Sang replied:

“I got it.”

This time, the other party replied instantly:

“Let’s set a time and place. The ss-grade yin chao pearl is still in my hands.”

“Alright, we’ll have to make the trade sooner or later…” Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then typed and sent:

“One hour later, Yu Beast Center.”

…

Meanwhile, at the Yu Beast Center, on the third floor Pet Identification Hall.

“What did the other party say?” McCarthy asked.

Fei Lao Er put down his phone and said, “She got the ghost fire paste.”

“How could she have gotten the ghost fire paste?!” McCarthy looked disbelieving. “We were all there last night, and you should know that Ke Te Ya Volcano was later sealed off by officials, making it impossible to approach.”

Suddenly, he fell silent, thinking of something, and exclaimed:

“Could it be that she was the Yu Beast Master who used Space Movement to take my Lava Beast yesterday? Besides her, it’s impossible for anyone else to have gotten ghost fire paste at Ke Te Ya Volcano yesterday! Where did she arrange to meet you? I’ll go with you then!”

“Are you kidding? I finally have ghost fire paste, how could I let you go and ruin the trade…” Fei Lao Er glanced at him:

“Seven o’clock tonight, right here at the Yu Beast Center.”

…

Everything is in Little Qunbao’s ring. Once the trade is done, there’s no need to stay here. I’ll just check out online and head to the First District…” Qiao Sang opened her travel app and bought a plane ticket to the First District.

Yu Liandun University is in the First District. Since she was going to exchange there for half a year, she had to prepare early.

She had checked the school there online. The dorms were villas, and there were also super large training grounds, with everything one could ask for.

But the problem was the same as when she was at Sainan High School: the training grounds were not personal, and occasionally practicing powerful skills was fine, but skills with strong destructive power, like Ya!’s, needed to be practiced constantly, and each time they would be successfully performed, which would not be suitable and would definitely affect others. It was better to find a house outside that met the training requirements.

After getting the ghost fire paste, Qiao Sang had made a short-term plan:

One: Find a suitable house in the First District.

Two: Urge Little Qunbao to practice the Dark Shadow Control skill to the peak of its Profound Meaning, and then let it evolve.

Three: Let Steel Treasure have more actual combat, and she would also train herself to get rid of the negative effects brought by the Bond Evolution as soon as possible.

The reason Ya! and the others were able to evolve from High Level to General-level so quickly was because she added Point to them. For the sake of Points, she had originally planned to let Steel Treasure evolve during high school.

Unexpectedly, because of Little Steel Falcon’s new form, the dream enlightenment stone was directly obtained, so Steel Treasure’s evolution was not so urgent.

Although after participating in multiple Pet Arena competitions, Steel Treasure’s Point were already enough to allow it to evolve into a High-level Pet, she still wanted Steel Treasure to build a stronger foundation at the current stage.

After all, Steel Treasure was a new form, and there was no reference object for how to cultivate it in various aspects.

Now that there was no need for competitions or Points, it was better to be stable. If it could encounter something that could trigger an evolutionary reaction, like Ya! encountering the volcano, that would be best.

The long-term task was to make money, but her unlimited card had not expired yet, and Blue Star already had channels to make money, so this was not something that needed immediate consideration.

Qiao Sang bought the ticket, turned off her phone, and put it back in her pocket.

The assessment target on the field had already changed.

At this moment, the red-haired person from before leaned over again:

“You look so young. What skincare products do you usually use?”

“I don’t use skincare products, just wash my face with clear water,” Qiao Sang said.

Perhaps it was because Super Dormant Star had a constant temperature all year round, or perhaps it was because she had been nourished multiple times, her skin had always been in excellent condition.

The woman heard this and finally couldn’t help but ask:

“How old are you?”

“16.”

The woman fell silent again.

Why did she suddenly stop talking again? The other party initiated conversation twice, so she should say something too… Qiao Sang exercised her social skills and asked, “What’s your number?”

“Number 16,” the woman replied.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Aren’t they already at Number 23 on the field?”

The woman maintained an awkward yet polite smile and explained:

“I’ve already finished my assessment, but I stayed here to watch others’ assessments.”

It seems she didn’t pass… Qiao Sang instantly understood.

She had seen online that Yu Beast Master who stayed to watch combat assessments after finishing their own usually hadn’t passed, and they did so to observe the Judge’s combat methods, hoping to be prepared if they encountered them again next time.

The woman seemed to know what Qiao Sang was thinking and added:

“My Clockwork Tapir just evolved to General-level less than a month ago, and its strength hasn’t been fully mastered yet.”

“I know,” Qiao Sang smiled and nodded.

The woman felt a little uncomfortable. Just then, a voice came over the broadcast:

“Number 24, prepare to enter the arena.”

Qiao Sang looked down at her number slip; it was indeed Number 24.

“Then I’ll go for my assessment now,” Qiao Sang said, standing up.

“Good luck,” the woman said kindly, remembering her own experience. “Don’t put too much Pressure on yourself. Just be calm.”

Qiao Sang smiled, then nodded to Little Qunbao.

“Qun~”

Little Qunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang appeared on the field.

The few Yu Beast Master present stirred slightly.

Everyone took out their Pet Identifier and aimed it at the Pet on the field that looked like a Ghost-type but could also use Space Movement. However, no one could identify it, and a clamor immediately arose.

Qiao Sang was already accustomed to being watched. She stood calmly to one side, an unruffled expression on her face.

A C-level Beastmaster was already considered the first watershed for a Professional Beast Tamer.

The assessment naturally required more.

She had learned before coming that the C-level Beastmaster assessment on Super Dormant Star adopted a 3V3 mode, and it was mandatory for a General-level Pet to participate.

At the level of a C-level Beastmaster, the strength of one Pet was no longer enough to prove the Beastmaster’s professionalism. Only when all the cultivated Pet were strong was one qualified to bear the prefix “Professional.”

“Let’s begin,” the Judge formed hand seals and summoned a Pet about five meters tall, resembling a snowflake, with a vent on its head spewing cold air.

The habits of Judge varied from place to place.

Some Judge strictly followed combat competition standards, accustomed to summoning Pet simultaneously with the examinee, while others were confident enough in their own strength not to mind summoning their Pet first, allowing the examinee to summon theirs based on the attributes of the Judge’s Pet.

The Judge before her was clearly the latter.

Qiao Sang was not polite either. She formed hand seals, and an orange-yellow star array lit up.

“Ya!”

As Ya! appeared, a strong current of air instantly swirled around it.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding temperature soared.

The frost caused by the snowflake-shaped Pet spewing cold air quickly melted.

“What kind of Pet is this?!”

“I can’t find it! I can’t find either of her two Pet!”

“Don’t you think this Yu Beast Master being assessed looks a bit too young?”

“Uh, maybe she just has a baby face.”

“Hiss… I feel like I’ve seen this Pet somewhere before…”

The already noisy voices became even more chaotic.

“Snowflake Orb, an Ice General-level Pet, with a body temperature of around minus ten degrees Celsius. It can spray fierce Blizzard from the vent on its head to attack enemies and can hide in Snowfall weather. Because it can create Snowfall weather, it is quite popular on Super Dormant Star…” Information about the opposing Pet flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

At the same time, the Judge, who was somewhat surprised by Ya! and Qiao Sang’s appearance, recovered and nodded to the notary beside him.

“qu!”

The notary received the signal and blew the whistle signaling the start of the assessment.

Almost the second the whistle fell, the Snowflake Orb opened its mouth. Sharp Ice Cone condensed out of thin air and, like falling rain, furiously attacked Ya!’s position.

“Bang bang bang!”

Ice Cone scattered, and the ground instantly became riddled with holes, covered in fragments of Ice.

But at this moment, Ya! had already disappeared from its original spot.

“And a Superpower System!” The Judge’s pupils contracted as he looked at the red Pet that appeared high in the sky and commanded:

“Up in the sky!”

“Snowflake Orb!”

The Snowflake Orb looked up and let out a cry. The sharp arrowheads of the Ice Cone instantly changed direction and shot upwards!

“This is a good chance to try out a new skill…” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she shouted:

“Scorching Wind!”

“Ya!”

Ya! showed an excited expression, and its huge fiery wings flapped downwards with force.

A visible, reddish Scorching Wind immediately swept up, as if it could sweep away everything.

Dozens of Ice Cone encountered the red wind, rapidly melting and disappearing.

“This Pet has more energy than the Snowflake Orb…” The Judge immediately saw the problem.

The range of Scorching Wind was not very large, and the scorching aura within it was not particularly dense, but because the Pet had enough energy, it forcefully suppressed the Ice Cone unleashed by the Snowflake Orb.

It seems it’s not a General-level Pet that just evolved…

As the Judge analyzed, the Snowflake Orb ascended into the sky, and a chilling aura instantly shot upwards from the vent on its head.

“This is to create Snowfall weather to hide,” said the Yu Beast Master who had failed the assessment and watched countless others, in a knowing tone.

The speed of Snowfall created by a General-level Pet was much faster than that of a High-level Pet.

Within a few short seconds, snowflakes began to fall from high in the sky.

“Is this the Ice Flower Seal?” Qiao Sang, who had already automatically blocked out the surrounding sounds and was still considering whether to let Ya! use Lava Purgatory next, suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She immediately stopped hesitating and shouted:

“Get close to it, Lava Purgatory!”

Lava Purgatory was still at the entry level, and although it was an Ultra-level skill, Qiao Sang was unsure how much range of Lava Purgatory Ya!’s energy could support.

To be safe, it was better to use it at close range after getting close to the opponent.

She wasn’t particularly clear about the power of a General-level Pet’s Ice Flower Seal, but it was definitely very powerful, and Ya! had just evolved, so it might not be able to resist it…

“In this situation, I should directly use a big move to eliminate the opponent before the Ice Flower Seal lands on Ya!…” Qiao Sang thought cautiously.

“Ya!”

Ya! let out a loud cry.

Then it disappeared from its original position.

When it reappeared, it was already above the Snowflake Orb.

A huge shadow enveloped the Snowflake Orb.

Without needing its Yu Beast Master’s command, it knew that it was in great danger at this moment and needed to dodge.

But it was completely unable to dodge in time.

The moment the Snowflake Orb moved, Ya!’s sharp claws lifted high and swiftly pressed down on its head!

Then it dropped, forming a straight line and directly smashing the Snowflake Orb onto the ground!

Sand and gravel splashed up from the ground, and a large pit appeared.

“Snowflake Orb!”

The Snowflake Orb struggled frantically under the claws, but its strength was clearly inferior to Ya!’s, making it unable to move at all.

Qiao Sang looked at the commotion on the field, her first thought being: “Why does it feel like I could have instantly killed it even without Lava Purgatory before the snow fell on Ya!…?”

Her second thought was: “Never mind, I haven’t seen the power of Lava Purgatory yet…”

“Ice Cone!” The Judge was not flustered and promptly issued a counter-command.

From this angle, if the Snowflake Orb used Ice Cone, the opponent’s Pet would definitely dodge, and by then the snow would have already fallen. Once the Snowflake Orb was hidden, the situation would be completely in his hands.

“Snowflake Orb!”

The Snowflake Orb cried out, and cold air condensed in the vent on its head. The Ice Cone was about to form.

But at this moment, Ya!’s left front paw stomped hard on the ground.

“Snowflake Orb…”

The Snowflake Orb suddenly felt an unprecedented Pressure, which inexplicably caused a sense of fear in its heart.

And in its panic, the Ice Cone failed to be released immediately.

Countless streams of scorching lava erupted from the ground, centered around Ya!.

In an instant, it engulfed the Snowflake Orb.

The dark red lava, with immense momentum, surged outwards like waves, pressing down in layers!

The field instantly turned dark red!

The scorching high temperature seemed capable of incinerating everything.

The lava rolled, and fierce waves of fire came one after another. The red light was awe-inspiring, and the entire field was distorted by the high temperature.

It was like Purgatory.
