Chapter 755: Heat (2-in-1)

For a moment, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

After about two or three seconds, the Commentator’s voice, filled with shock, bewilderment, and disbelief, rang out across the arena:

“This, this move seems to be an Ultra-level skill, Ice Heaven Domain! Ice Aipalu used Ice Heaven Domain! That’s right, Ice Aipalu, the information on the mysterious Pet just reached my hand… But that’s not important now, what’s important is that Ice Aipalu used the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain, a General-level Pet used an Ultra-level skill!”

“Oh my god! This is absolutely the most shocking scene I’ve witnessed live in all my years as a Commentator!”

“Ultra-level skill! Wood Algae Weng had no power to retaliate! Its Mega Demon Vine and itself were instantly frozen under the control of Ice Heaven Domain!”

“This match is simply a solo performance by Qiao Sang!”

The Commentator, from his initial stuttering to later even standing up from his chair, was spitting, his face red, growing more and more excited as he spoke.

As the Commentator’s words fell, a clamor rose, and the scene instantly exploded with a hubbub of voices.

“Give me a moment, I need to calm down, holy cow, I can’t calm down at all! Can anyone tell me why a General-level Pet knows an Ultra-level skill?!”

“Ahhh! Ice Heaven Domain! I actually saw Ice Heaven Domain in a Beastmaster Star Tournament for those under 35!”

“Oh, my god, I thought I was hallucinating!”

“Is it really a General-level Pet?! I don’t believe it!”

The audience present had a fair understanding of Yu Beast Masters; they had never heard of a General-level Pet learning an Ultra-level skill, which led everyone to doubt everything.

“It’s real…” In the audience, Dorothy heard the surrounding voices and finally broke free from her shock, murmuring, “Ice Aipalu, a Blue Star Water and Ice dual-attribute General-level Pet, and it’s an endangered Pet…”

“Endangered?” The person next to her stared with a strange look: “How do you know?”

Dorothy looked at the arena, her tone drifting: “I’m Qiao Sang’s classmate…”

Classmate? The person next to her sniffed out gossip: “What school are you from?”

“Royal Union Dun University,” Dorothy answered honestly.

“What? Qiao Sang is a student at Royal Union Dun University!” The person next to her suddenly raised her voice.

People around them looked over.

“Royal Union Dun University? Isn’t she a star?”

“No wonder she’s so amazing, turns out she’s a student from Royal Union Dun University!”

“Students from Royal Union Dun University don’t need to be stars, do they?”

“No, am I the only one who noticed the key point! Royal Union Dun University, Qiao Sang is indeed not 16 years old!”

“Whether she’s 16 or not isn’t important anymore, just for this Ice Heaven Domain, I’m completely conquered!”

Dorothy took a deep breath, raising her voice: “She is 16! She skipped grades to our Royal Union Dun University and is only a freshman now!”

The front row of Section A suddenly became quiet.

The other sections were still discussing heatedly.

Player area.

Pilit was completely stunned, without any mental preparation; it felt like when people at school told him: Our school has produced a prodigy who is 16 years old but has contracted four Pets, three of which are General-level Pets, one High-level Pet, and two of them are even new forms of Pets that have never existed before.

Or when his son one day told him: Dad, I met true love on Yan Tian Star, he’s a man, so I found a Shapeshifter Beast and changed my gender, I’m sorry.

It was roughly that kind of impact.

…

On the field.

Lu Bao looked at everything frozen before her, her tail unconsciously flicking.

The mechanical Pet serving as the referee flew in from off-field, intending to check on Wood Algae Weng’s condition.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang noticed the mechanical Pet’s movement and spoke out to stop it.

The mechanical Pet instinctively stopped in place.

“Qiao Sang stopped the referee, why is that?” The Commentator had recovered considerably from his excited state: “Could it be that Ice Aipalu hasn’t fully mastered Ice Heaven Domain yet, and she’s afraid of accidentally hurting the referee if he goes in? What a thoughtful…”

“Mega Ice Cone!”

The Commentator’s voice came to an abrupt halt.

“Ice Ai,” Lu Bao called out.

“Bang!!!”

A giant Ice Cone, like a mountain, immediately appeared above Wood Algae Weng’s head, then heavily smashed down onto its body, causing a thunderous sound.

The Ice Cone shattered.

The Ice surface across the entire field disappeared, and the temperature returned to its previous state, as if everything that had just happened never existed.

Only Wood Algae Weng, still crushed under a pile of large Ice chunks and already unconscious, proved that everything had indeed happened.

Qiao Sang calmly nodded to the mechanical Pet referee, indicating that he could now come over to make the judgment.

Lu Bao’s energy was only enough to maintain Ice Heaven Domain for about 20 seconds; she couldn’t guarantee that the Ice Heaven Domain would still be sustained by the time the referee arrived.

Moreover, Grass-type Pets might have healing skills, and if Wood Algae Weng could hold on and recover some with healing skills, then Lu Bao, whose energy was nearly depleted, would be at a complete disadvantage.

To avoid this situation, she could only clearly defeat Wood Algae Weng within 20 seconds.

Fortunately, as long as she was within Ice Heaven Domain, Lu Bao was the master of Ice, and all her learned Ice skills could be released at will, unlike other combination skills that require both moves to reach a certain proficiency and then be perfectly linked to be released.

The advantages of Ice Heaven Domain were obvious, but there were also drawbacks: using more Ice skills while maintaining the domain would shorten its duration.

The main reasons were insufficient energy and proficiency.

However, it was enough to deal with a Grass-type Pet of the same level whose attribute was countered.

“It turns out Qiao Sang’s previous attack hadn’t ended yet,” the Commentator said, seemingly unbothered, explaining the situation that had just occurred.

The mechanical Pet referee came before Wood Algae Weng, observed for a moment, then took out the whistle from his front and blew it.

“The match results are out! Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning this match and successfully advancing to the next round!” the Commentator passionately declared.

Applause erupted, growing louder and more intense.

Finally, it was like thunder, deafening.

…

On the way back.

Pilit held back for a long time, finally unable to resist asking, “How did your Ice Aipalu learn Ice Heaven Domain?”

“It used an Awakening Pearl,” Qiao Sang said without hiding anything, “It awakened when it evolved into Ice Aipalu.”

“Awakening Pearl…” Pilit was somewhat dazed.

If it was an Awakening Pearl, it wasn’t entirely impossible…

Historically, there have been Pets that awakened Ultra-level skills using Awakening Pearls.

However, at that time, that Pet’s level had already reached King-level.

For a King-level Pet to know an Ultra-level skill, looking through all of history, there were only isolated cases…

A General-level Pet, this was definitely the first case…

Pilit resisted the urge to immediately send an email to the Imperial Beast Academy, saying, “You go back and rest well. The preliminary rounds will last two days, and it won’t be your turn again until the day after tomorrow… If any media want to interview you, refuse them. Don’t waste your time on them.”

Qiao Sang nodded: “Okay.”

…

10:01 PM.

Qiao Sang returned to the villa.

Her match time was relatively in the middle, and she didn’t stay to watch after it ended, so she returned relatively early.

Dinner had been kept warm, Qiao Sang hastily filled her stomach, went to her room, leaned back on the bed, and pulled out her phone, wanting to contact Forging Worm to come over earlier.

As soon as she pulled out her phone, she saw 99+ messages.

Qiao Sang opened them and saw that they were all inquiries about her match tonight.

In addition to classmates from Royal Union Dun University, there were also dozens of messages from classmates at Sainan High School.

Qiao Sang replied one by one.

Suddenly, she saw a message from Hugh Lewis:

【Qiao Sang, you participated in the Beastmaster Star Tournament?!!!】

【Oh my god, it’s really you!】

【Oh, my god! Are you still human?! Your Ice Kexilu actually evolved! And it knows the Ultra-level skill Ice Heaven Domain!】

【Please reply when you see this message! You’ve gone viral online! Now is the best time to promote our Pet prop brand!】

Viral? Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then opened the trending topics on her phone.

She suddenly saw several trending topics related to herself.

Qiao Sang was startled. She had expected Lu Bao’s Ice Heaven Domain to cause discussion, but she hadn’t expected that in just one or two hours, there would be so much discussion about her online, and all of it trending.

Even her school had been dug up… Qiao Sang inwardly marveled at the netizens’ ability, returned to the chat page, and typed a reply:

【I just got home, how do we promote it? Does your Pet prop brand already have products?】

Hugh Lewis seemed to have been guarding his phone and replied instantly:

【You don’t have to worry about products! My family actually has the entire production chain. The most important thing is that you have a lot of buzz right now, and this is the best time for the brand to appear in the public eye. As long as you use one of our brand’s products in any match, it will definitely explode in popularity!】

As it concerned her future finances, Qiao Sang naturally didn’t decline:

【Okay, send me the products.】

Hugh Lewis was overjoyed and immediately typed:

【Okay! I’ll have them delivered to you tomorrow! I’ll also send a prop master to teach you how to use them.】

Qiao Sang thought about it and politely declined:

【That’s too much trouble for others, just send me the instruction manual and a usage video.】

Hugh Lewis replied instantly again:

【Alright, as you wish!】

Qiao Sang did not reply again, but pondered for a moment.

She would return to Blue Star in the future, so it would be good to take advantage of her current popularity to help her future career.

You Na opened a Pet club, which only required her name to be listed.

En was in the purebred Pet base business, and she couldn’t help much there.

However, Wen Xiao was in Pet grooming.

If she visited while still participating in the Beastmaster Star Tournament, it should bring some popularity to the Pet grooming salon she opened…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated, scrolled down the chat interface, and quickly found Wen Xiao.

The other party had also sent her messages tonight.

Qiao Sang opened them.

They were also asking how she was participating in the Beastmaster Star Tournament and similar questions.

Qiao Sang went straight to the point: 【Has your Pet grooming salon opened yet?】

Wen Xiao was somewhat surprised why Qiao Sang suddenly asked this, and subconsciously typed and sent: 【Ah, not yet…】

But the next second, she realized something, her eyes lit up, she withdrew the message, sat up straight from the bed, and sent again:

【You want to use this popularity to promote Pet grooming?】

Qiao Sang: 【Exactly.】

Wen Xiao: 【Not open yet, but it can open immediately.】

Qiao Sang: 【How soon is immediately?】

Wen Xiao: 【Three days. I originally wanted to choose a good location, but now I can only directly buy a storefront that’s already decorated. But everything is only temporary; as long as the store’s name is promoted, people will specifically seek it out even if it moves later.】

As expected of a wealthy family, they’re preparing to directly buy a temporary storefront… Qiao Sang typed a reply:

【Okay, once you have everything arranged, send me the address.】

Wen Xiao: 【No problem!】

Qiao Sang finished replying to most of the messages, put down her phone, and turned to see Ya Bao staring at her with a wronged expression.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang was startled.

To be honest, she hadn’t seen Ya Bao with that expression in a long time.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out, indicating why it wasn’t allowed to participate in tonight’s match.

So it was this, I thought it was something else… While Lu Bao was training outside, Qiao Sang said without hesitation: “Isn’t it that the more formidable opponents are later? I was thinking of having you appear in the later days.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao thought about it and felt it made sense; previous matches seemed to be like this too.

“Aren’t you sleepy yet?” Qiao Sang saw Ya Bao’s expression soften and changed the subject.

“Ya…” Ya Bao, hearing this, suddenly felt sleepiness wash over it.

It yawned, called out, indicating it was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Then it jumped onto the bed, found a comfortable spot to lie down, closed its eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

“Steel Slash.”

At this moment, Steel Treasure, who had been quiet in the room, called out.

What about it?

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang patiently replied: “There are still several days of matches, it will be your turn eventually.”

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, her tone surprisingly saying:

“You like matches too?”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure shook its head.

It’s not about liking or disliking; it’s just that matches allow for combat, and combat allows for becoming stronger.

6… Qiao Sang suddenly felt that she wasn’t as diligent as her own Pet, and immediately opened the contact information for the Forging Worm Yu Beast Master to arrange a time.

…

The next day, morning.

Qiao Sang woke up on time, quickly washed up, and went to the living room.

When she saw the busy figure in the kitchen, she was startled, then happily exclaimed, “Vice Principal, you’re actually home!”

Liu Yao turned and smiled:

“The book you brought was very useful; it saved me a lot of time, so I don’t have to stay out for so long recently.”

Qiao Sang smiled: “I’m relieved it was useful. Actually, you can just tell me what you need directly, even if I don’t know, I can ask the instructors.”

Liu Yao smiled, didn’t pick up on that topic, and instead asked:

“You participated in the Beastmaster Star Tournament?”
