Chapter 835: Lightning Lizard

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure paused, then showed a serious expression and nodded.

It was too embarrassed to say that it hadn’t thought of the latter part at all…

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome everyone to the First District’s “Tian Ni Cup” Youth Pet Coordinator competition!” The Host’s booming voice rang out from the virtual screen.

The competition had begun… Qiao Sang unconsciously tensed slightly, looking at the virtual screen.

After thoroughly understanding the competition format for Pet Coordinator competitions and the strength currently displayed by the advancing contestants, to be honest, she felt that Steel Treasure would have a hard time winning.

This ‘winning’ wasn’t about losing in a 1v1 battle, but rather that the score obtained after the Gorgeous Battle, plus the points from the previous performance display section, might not be enough for Steel Treasure to smoothly step onto the podium.

What she had to do now was to make the greatest effort to ensure Steel Treasure performed at its best during the competition…

The competition proceeded methodically, with contestants backstage decreasing in pairs.

The competition format for Pet Coordinator competitions held by each region or official body varied slightly.

For the “Tian Ni Cup,” the team roster for the Gorgeous Battle section was not announced all at once; instead, on the day of the competition, the system would allocate the first pair of contestants to battle.

Once the first pair finished their battle, the system would then immediately allocate the roster for the second pair of contestants.

This competition format was quite exciting, as you didn’t know who your opponent was, nor did you know if you would be the next contestant to go on stage.

The Gorgeous Battle was limited to five minutes, and even with the Host’s introduction, the competition progressed very quickly.

Half an hour later, the virtual screen above the stage began to rotate all the photos of the remaining contestants.

Soon, two of the photos enlarged and froze in place.

One was a woman with long, curly red hair, a round face, slender eyes, and a gentle demeanor.

The other had black hair tied in a ponytail, exquisite features, and exuded the aura of a budding powerhouse.

“Next up, the contestants to take the stage are No. 06, Yiluodi, and No. 78, Qiao Sang!”

The BGM started.

Stage lights flickered.

The entire venue cheered, showing immense enthusiasm for the contestants about to appear.

Almost all the audience members present had been there yesterday and vividly remembered the introduction of “Super Dormant Star’s current only Steel Slash Giant Falcon.”

They naturally searched for relevant information when they returned and then found out about Qiao Sang.

“Speaking of which, isn’t Qiao Sang a Professional Beast Tamer? The internet says she’s currently studying in the Beast Taming Department at Royal Union Dun, so why is she participating in a Pet Coordinator competition?”

“Maybe she’s preparing to dual-cultivate, trying her hand at being a Pet Coordinator?”

“I think so too; aren’t many college students dual-cultivating these days?”

“But with Qiao Sang’s Yu Beast Master talent, wouldn’t it be too much of a waste for her to come to Pet Coordinator?”

“Are you saying our Pet Coordinators are inferior to Professional Beast Tamers?!” The person next to him immediately glared.

“I didn’t mean that.” The person who originally said it was a waste quickly explained, “I just think her battle talent is too strong, and it would be a shame if she spread her energy into other fields.”

“I actually think Qiao Sang’s Flame Qilu and Ice Aipalu, as well as the Steel Slash Giant Falcon that appeared yesterday, all have great talent for Pet Coordinator competitions. Perhaps if she enters our Pet Coordinator world, her achievements won’t be any worse than being a Professional Beast Tamer.”

“Which Pet do you think she’ll send out for the competition today?”

“I bet 100 alliance coins it’s definitely Ice Aipalu. As soon as it appears, makes an entrance, and then uses Ice Heaven Domain, it’s a guaranteed win.”

“Then I’ll say something different; I bet it’s Flame Qilu.”

…

Backstage.

Under the guidance of the Staff, Qiao Sang arrived at the lift platform and stood firm.

She took a deep breath and looked at Steel Treasure: “Let’s go.”

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded seriously.

Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling Steel Treasure into the yu beast codex.

The lift platform slowly ascended.

Beams of light focused down.

The BGM stopped.

Qiao Sang looked at her opponent in the distance, her nerves quietly tensing, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

If she remembered correctly, her opponent had sent out a General-level Pet of the Electric-type during the performance display phase.

Electric-type counters Flying-type, and its level was one higher than Steel Treasure’s. If that Pet was sent out, Steel Treasure might not last five minutes…

At the same time, Yiluodi looked at the black-haired girl in the distance, maintaining a graceful posture on the surface, but inwardly cursing her bad luck.

With so many contestants, why was she so unlucky as to be matched with this monster!

If the opponent summoned Ice Aipalu or Flame Qilu, one move of Ice Heaven Domain or Lava Purgatory, and her Pet would be instantly defeated.

How could she even fight?

At this moment, a light projection descended from above the stage, forming a giant mechanical Pet face that looked down, and spoke:

“The competition begins.”

Both parties simultaneously formed hand seals.

The orange-yellow star array in front of Qiao Sang lit up first.

A massive purple figure appeared in everyone’s sight.

At this moment, the originally excited and noisy audience section suddenly fell silent for a brief moment.

Most people’s faces showed expressions of bewilderment and confusion.

To be honest, although Steel Slash Giant Falcon was currently Super Dormant Star’s only completely new High Level form of Little Steel Falcon, Qiao Sang had Ice Aipalu and Flame Qilu. No matter which one she sent out, it felt better than Steel Slash Giant Falcon. They had never expected Qiao Sang to send out a High-level Pet.

It was clearly a guaranteed win, yet she stubbornly placed herself on the disadvantaged side.

They couldn’t understand it.

Compared to the audience’s bewilderment, Yiluodi was more surprised.

Steel Slash Giant Falcon. She had wondered why a monstrous Yu Beast Master like Qiao Sang would suddenly cross over to participate in a Pet Coordinator competition.

Sure enough, she wasn’t aiming to win!

From another orange-yellow star array, a lizard-type Pet slowly appeared, with its entire body and earlobes yellow, and only its head, ears, tail tip, and claws black.

Thunder Light Lizard, an Electric-type General-level Pet, usually living in deserts. It has cells in its body that generate electricity by bathing in sunlight. As long as it can bathe in sunlight, it can survive even without food… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, its related information surfacing in her mind, and thought that the opponent had indeed sent out a General-level Pet.

“Steel Treasure.”

The next second, Steel Treasure quickly ascended, flapping its wings downwards with force.

Instantly, streaks of purple-glowing feathers, like purple blades, shot out from its body, crisscrossing and sweeping towards the Thunder Light Lizard’s location.

“Performance begins!” Yiluodi exclaimed.

As she spoke, yellow electric arcs surged around the Thunder Light Lizard’s body, then wildly intertwined and twisted upwards, forming a intertwined lightning that seemed as one yet didn’t interfere with each other, shooting rapidly towards Steel Treasure.

The speed of the lightning was incredibly fast.

Under the speed of lightning, the dozens of purple blades appeared incredibly slow.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Steel Treasure, the streaks of lightning that were originally intertwined but didn’t interfere with each other suddenly gathered and condensed, greatly increasing their power!

At the same time, when the yellow lightning coiling around the Thunder Light Lizard’s body came into contact with the dozens of purple blades, it immediately stopped them, leaving them suspended there.

Such a diligent me, I want a monthly pass.
