Chapter 834: Strong defense

“Steel Treasure, we’ve advanced!” Qiao Sang turned, pleasantly surprised.

Although she had roughly calculated the scores of other contestants and felt that advancing wouldn’t be a problem, actually confirming their successful advancement still made her very happy.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure happily called out, indicating that it saw it.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao patted Steel Treasure’s shoulder, in a posture like a boss patting a subordinate.

The next round of the competition must be fought well, do not waste the precious spot.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded with a solemn expression.

At this moment, the girl who had been with Qiao Sang all along said dejectedly, “As expected, my name isn’t there.”

“Sweetie…”

Next to her, a Pet about one meter tall, completely pink, with ears on its head like ribbons fluttering backward, drooped its head with a lost expression.

Qiao Sang comforted her, “It’s okay, you can participate again next time.”

She had watched the other party’s competition; the Pet sent out for the performance was a Grass-type Sweetie Flower, which was the one standing next to her now.

Its appearance was cute and sweet, and as soon as it appeared, it used Fly Leaf Knife, then danced with light steps into the Fly Leaf Knife, using its sharp scythe-like claws to slice them into halves.

The entire performance was quite smooth, with no mistakes, but there was nothing particularly memorable about it.

The Fly Leaf Knife sliced into halves were of different sizes.

If every Fly Leaf Knife could be cut to the same size, the score would probably be higher.

The girl quickly composed herself, a smile returning to her face, and said, “I’ll be there tomorrow to cheer you on.”

The Pet Coordinator competition had a more humane aspect: if contestants who registered did not successfully advance, they could watch the next round of the competition for free.

Therefore, in many Pet Coordinator competitions, if people couldn’t get tickets, even if they knew their strength was only enough to be cannon fodder, they would still think about signing up.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded with a smile.

…

8:30 PM.

Villa.

Outdoor training ground.

High in the sky.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure locked onto Xiao Xunbao in the distance, who was beckoning to it, and flapped its wings backward with force, its body instantly transforming into a white lightning bolt rushing towards Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao disappeared from its original spot before Steel Treasure could get close.

The white lightning bolt did not stop, but when it rushed to Xiao Xunbao’s original position, it split into two, reflecting and encircling Xiao Xunbao’s current position to attack.

Xiao Xunbao remained still in the middle, as if it hadn’t reacted.

A distance of over a hundred meters, in almost a blink of an eye, the two white lightning bolts夹擊 Xiao Xunbao, smashing it into a meat patty.

The meat patty version of Xiao Xunbao fell downwards, then suddenly dissipated.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure stopped mid-air, watching this scene calmly, not surprised.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

High in the sky, a hundred meters away, the unharmed Xiao Xunbao grinned and crooked its short toe at Steel Treasure.

“Alright, that’s enough for now.” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue, and it teleported over directly.

Steel Treasure flapped its wings and flew towards its Yu Beast Master.

“Xiao Xunbao, you go train with Ya Bao first.” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled and quickly called out, indicating that the fourth one still needed it to spar.

Saying that, it winked at Steel Treasure, who had just flown over.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure remembered that Xiao Xunbao had given up its spot in the next round of the competition to itself, so it nodded.

Qiao Sang conceded, “You can continue sparring, but from now on, don’t always dodge attacks; try to engage Steel Treasure in head-on confrontations as much as possible.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Sang was not at ease and added, “In the next stage, the Splendid Battle, while battling, you also need to pay attention to combining your characteristics with your skills. If you just dodge, Steel Treasure won’t be able to practice how to gracefully resolve the opponent’s attacks.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously, indicating understanding.

Seeing Xiao Xunbao’s appearance, Qiao Sang finally gave up the idea of having Lu Bao spar.

After Steel Treasure and Xiao Xunbao resumed training, she turned to Aodinihi next to her: “Did you go to watch the competition today?”

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi nodded while eating potato chips.

Qiao Sang casually asked, “Can you predict now?”

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi paused its potato chip eating and shook its head.

As expected… Qiao Sang sighed.

“Di Di?”

Aodinihi called out casually, indicating, how much longer until you all go back?

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then took out her phone, casually opened a chat interface, opened the input box, and placed it in front of Aodinihi, saying helplessly:

“Now that Ya Bao and the others are training, no one can help me translate. Can you type?”

“Di Di…”

Aodinihi was also silent for a moment, then its eyes glowed blue.

Invisible power acted on the phone, and it began to type automatically:

【I need more food to recover as soon as possible and make predictions. I have a premonition that it’s almost time.】

This is taking advantage of my last few days on Super Dormant Star to get whatever I can… Qiao Sang grumbled inwardly, but on the surface, she nodded and said:

“I understand.”

Saying that, she opened the food delivery app and started ordering snacks that Aodinihi usually liked.

Aodinihi saw that without it even saying anything, everything ordered on the phone was what it liked to eat, and couldn’t help but reach out a paw and wiggle the red flute tied around its waist.

Wait.

Just wait a little longer…

…

The next morning.

Qiao Sang woke up, quickly washed up, and went to the wardrobe, uncharacteristically serious about choosing an outfit.

Yesterday, she saw that the participating Pet Coordinators were all dressed fashionably and individually, so she didn’t want to appear particularly out of place by being too casual herself.

She spent a full ten minutes choosing, finally settling on a vintage-style black Tencel dress.

Pet Coordinator competitions emphasize visual effects, and Pet Coordinators sometimes need to match their Pets in battle. This black dress was simple yet cool and chic, which matched the feeling Steel Treasure gave off very well.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang put on the black dress.

An hour later.

Xiangsuo Street No. 1.

Contestant backstage.

Many people focused their gaze on the black-haired girl in the corner, dressed in a black dress, talking to her Pet.

Due to the judge’s words yesterday, almost everyone had gone online to learn about Steel Slash Giant Falcon.

Upon checking, it was astonishing; everyone understood what a monster this contestant named Qiao Sang was.

The Splendid Battle of the Pet Coordinator competition is a 1V1 format. Some of the contestants do have General-level Pets, but no matter which General-level Pet it is, they are not confident in battling Flame Qilu and Ice Aipalu, who have Ultra-level skills.

Although the Splendid Battle in the Pet Coordinator competition is somewhat different from a Professional Beast Tamer’s battle competition, what is consistent is that if one side completely faints and loses the possibility of fighting within the competition time, then the other side wins.

At this moment, Qiao Sang, feared by everyone, looked at Steel Treasure and said seriously:

“Don’t be nervous. Although everyone might send out General-level Pets, which are stronger than you in terms of strength, this is a Pet Coordinator competition. The Splendid Battle part has a time limit of five minutes. As long as we endure within these five minutes and respond and resolve well, we are not without a chance to win.”

“Don’t forget, your defense is very strong.”

Saying that, she suddenly thought of something and instructed:

“Don’t worry about my situation when you’re attacked either; my defense is also very strong now.”
