Chapter 959: Interview Treasure Hunt (two in one)

“Why did he retract it?! The Ghost Ring King is still waving at us!”

“I didn’t expect the Ghost Ring King’s Dark Shadow to become so massive!”

“It scared me to death! Who said the skill power of Dark Shadow remains unchanged? How could the Ghost Ring King, with its small body, achieve this effect by using Mind Headbutt?!”

“Combination skills are indeed awesome!”

“Although the Ghost Ring King’s ultimate moves are all this combination skill, it’s just so cool! It’s impossible to see this combination skill on any other Pet.”

“I remember there’s a legendary dual-attribute Pet with Ghost-type and Superpower System.”

“You said it yourself, it’s legendary. Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King is real.”

“Over 60 meters! This Dark Shadow must have been trained to the Profound Meaning level.”

“The enlarged Ghost Ring King looks so imposing, not cute like its original form.”

“Qiao Sang is truly strong. She won both matches with a 1-on-3 sweep. Most importantly, she hasn’t even sent out a King-level Pet; she won all matches using General-level Pets.”

“Do you think she can make it into the top ten?”

“That depends on the strength of her King-level Pet.”

“I think it’ll be difficult. Even if she’s a B-level Beast Tamer, she must have just become one recently. How can she compare to those established B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers?”

“Why are you still looking at her with the eyes of a normal person? She’s a freak; she even contracted a Qingqing Ni.”

“…You have a point.”

The noisy chatter in the stands was very enthusiastic. Although it wasn’t the first time everyone had seen Xiao Xunbao perform the combination skill of Dark Shadow plus Mind Headbutt, it was the first time they had seen a Dark Shadow over 60 meters tall. Moreover, this was already the third match, and Xiao Xunbao’s visually stunning combination skill instantly pushed the atmosphere on the field to a climax.

At the same time, the comments on the official live broadcast were also frantically flooding the screen:

【Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!】

【Congratulations to Qiao Shen on another victory!】

【Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!】

【Thinking back to when Qiao Sang used Ghost Ring Spirit to defeat me, my feelings are so complicated.】

【Oh my god! The Ghost Ring King is so cool!】

【Glad I won, skipping class wasn’t in vain.】

【Qiao Sang’s King-level Pet must be the Liao Xing Hound seen during the National Campus Pet Beast League. It’s said that the Liao Xing Hound is her initial Pet.】

【I specifically came from Yu Hua District to watch. Qiao Sang is already a legend in our school. Those few students in our class who always rank last always say that they are just like Qiao Sang, and the day their brain domain awakens will be the beginning of their legend.】

【You mean Qiao Sang’s grades were at the bottom?】

【Spreading rumors is easy. Qiao Shen focused all her energy on Yu Beast Taming, probably had no time to study textbooks at school. The stronger a Yu Beast Master’s brain domain, the better their memory. With her brain domain far surpassing her peers, how could she not do well in studies?】

【Why does it feel like when Qiao Sang’s matches are on, the number of students in the comment section increases…】

On the other side,

Family area.

Ye Xiangting excitedly uploaded the photos she had just taken to her Moments, with the caption:

【Congratulations to my daughter on winning the match again!】

Before long, comments appeared one after another, quickly exceeding dozens, all expressing congratulations or exclamations.

Ye Xiangting watched with a smile, and replied to a few acquaintances.

Liu Yao glanced at her phone, then remembered something, pulled out his phone, and posted the news of Qiao Sang’s victory to his Moments.

…

Player backstage passage.

Qiao Sang suddenly stopped halfway, made a hand seal, and summoned Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

As soon as Xiao Xunbao appeared, he couldn’t wait to take off his ring, pull out the energy recovery liquid, and drink it.

“Aren’t you going to rest well in the yu beast codex?” Qiao Sang asked.

When a Pet is in the yu beast codex, if it wants to come out, it can communicate directly with the Yu Beast Master through telepathy. The stronger the Yu Beast Master’s brain domain, the clearer the sensation. Just now, Xiao Xunbao called out to come out, so she stopped and summoned him.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao drank the energy recovery liquid to replenish energy, and let out a cry, indicating that he could recover outside, so as not to miss the interview later.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Suddenly, Xiao Xunbao’s ears twitched. He drained the energy recovery liquid, threw the empty bottle into a nearby trash can, took off his ring, and quickly pulled out the black cloak he bought on Super Dormant Star to put on himself.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched.

She understood that they were about to pass through the interview area.

The passage for players to return would go through the interview area. It was there during the preliminaries, but at that time, when she first passed by, she hadn’t let Lu Bao heal Steel Treasure, so she had no interest in accepting interviews and just walked past.

Xiao Xunbao probably saw this place in the yu beast codex at the time and kept it in mind.

If he could put this much thought into training, why wouldn’t he be able to gather followers… Qiao Sang complained internally as she controlled her twitching mouth and arrived at the interview area.

The reporters’ eyes lit up when they saw the approaching girl. They all rushed to the barrier, asking questions desperately, trying to make the girl stop and answer.

“Player Qiao Sang, you once again won against your opponent with a 1-on-3 sweep. Do you have anything to say?”

“How did you contract this Ghost Ring King with Superpower System attributes?”

“What prompted you to have the Ghost Ring King learn Dark Shadow? Was it because the Ghost Ring King’s body was too small?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao, who had been looking for the camera to wave at, froze when he heard this question. He immediately floated in front of the reporter who asked the question and let out a serious cry.

The reporter was stunned by Xiao Xunbao’s sudden action.

Qiao Sang stopped, looked at the reporter, and calmly translated what Xiao Xunbao said:

“No, this move was self-awakened when it evolved. It was absolutely not learned specifically because of its small size.”

“Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, indicating that was exactly right.

This was the first question Qiao Sang answered in the interview area. All the reporters were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they seemed to understand something, and they all aimed their microphones at Xiao Xunbao and began to ask questions:

“What are your thoughts on winning the match directly with a 1-on-3 sweep this time?”

“Many Superpower System Pets cannot learn Space Lockdown. How did you learn it? Can you briefly explain?”

“How did you meet Qiao Sang?”

“Is it true, as rumored online, that your Yu Beast Master contracted a Qingqing Ni?”

“Someone saw Qingfeng Ni Ni at the Yu Beast Center in Tianlie City a while ago? Has that Qingqing Ni of your Yu Beast Master evolved?”

“What is your evaluation of today’s opponents? Which opponent in the three matches left the deepest impression on you?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned by everyone’s attention and the cameras focusing on him. Then he straightened his cloak and began to answer the reporters’ questions in a serious manner.

You don’t have to answer every single one so seriously… Qiao Sang complained internally, restraining the twitching of her mouth, and began to translate Xiao Xunbao’s answers.

…

After watching the match in the evening, Qiao Sang had dinner with her mother, Vice Principal, and Mi Jiala, then directly used shared perception to pinpoint her location with Xiao Xunbao and Space Movement back to her room at the Yu Beast Center.

There was no other way. After today’s match, more people recognized her. On the way out of the arena, she was almost surrounded and barely managed to get out.

As soon as Xiao Xunbao entered, he couldn’t wait to take off his ring, pull out his computer, and call Ya Bao and the others over to watch his match replay.

Ya Bao and the others watched cooperatively.

“Xun!”

“Xun!”

When the exciting parts were played, Xiao Xunbao would vividly describe his mental journey on the field at that time.

Soon, the match ended, and everyone cheered.

Xiao Xunbao in the video waved and turned to wink at his Yu Beast Master. “Qingqing?”

Qing Bao curiously let out a cry, indicating what he wanted to say to his Yu Beast Master at that time?

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s body suddenly stiffened, and he didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

“Steel Sword.”

At this moment, Steel Treasure let out a cry, indicating that he should have wanted to return to the yu beast codex quickly to recover, so as to cope with the upcoming interview, after all, interviews also take a lot of time.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Steel Treasure with approval, nodding repeatedly.

That’s right!

“Qingqing.”

Qing Bao recalled the long interview he had seen in the yu beast codex, and without a doubt, showed an “I see” expression.

Qiao Sang leaned against the bed, opened her chat app, and replied to messages from friends and family.

I didn’t expect so many people in Yu Hua District to know already…

She sighed, then suddenly saw a message from Fang Sisi and clicked on the chat box:

【(Image)】

【(Image)】

【Tell me! Is this person in the news who looks and is named exactly like you, actually you?!】

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but smile, and typed a reply:

【It’s me.】

Fang Sisi replied instantly:

【You, you became a B-level Beast Tamer?!】

【Mm.】 Qiao Sang replied.

Fang Sisi typed furiously:

【Actually, the first time I saw you, I knew this woman would be extraordinary! She would definitely achieve great things! Do you remember something I told you back then?】

You’ve said too much… Qiao Sang sent two words: 【What?】

Fang Sisi’s typing speed was incredibly fast, almost sending it in the next second:

【Don’t forget me when you get rich and famous!!!】

【…】

After Qiao Sang sent the ellipses, she suddenly remembered something: 【I can’t be in-laws with you. My Ya Bao and your Ba Fire Butterfly are not a good match in size.】

Fang Sisi: 【I know, I know. Ya Bao is already a King-level Pet now, so their sizes definitely won’t match.】

Qiao Sang: 【How did you know?】

Fang Sisi: 【I watched your match live. The Steel Sword Falcon in the preliminary round was a General-level Pet, and the Ghost Ring King in tonight’s match was also a General-level Pet. You’re already a B-level Beast Tamer, so you must have a King-level Pet. Who else could it be besides Ya Bao? It can’t be that endangered Pet, can it? I heard that the Water Luyana species is extremely difficult to evolve.】

Qiao Sang: 【…As long as you don’t want Ya Bao anymore.】

Fang Sisi: 【I want the Ghost Ring King.】

Qiao Sang: 【???】

Fang Sisi: 【I watched your match live today, and the Ghost Ring King is just too cool! He’s both Ghost-type and has Superpower System skills, especially when he uses Dark Shadow, standing on the giant Ghost Ring King’s head—that gaze, that aura, it’s just too cool! If my Mianmian could be with the Ghost Ring King, they would definitely breed super cool offspring! Most importantly, he doesn’t even need to wear a miniature shrinking ring; his size matches my Mianmian perfectly!】

Qiao Sang: 【…】

Of course, Qiao Sang disagreed with this matter. After chatting with Fang Sisi for a while, she closed the chat software and picked up a book about Pets in the middle-empty region to read.

Watching the matches these past few days made her realize that she wasn’t particularly familiar with the Pets of the middle-empty region. Many of the Pets summoned by the contestants were ones whose species names she didn’t even know.

Fortunately, Mi Jiala seemed to understand this point and sent over several books about Pets in the middle-empty region.

…

At two in the morning, Xiao Xunbao quietly came to the bedside, picked up his Yu Beast Master’s phone, and began to check the hot searches.

【Qiao Sang, Heterochromatic Ghost Ring King】

【Ghost Ring King, Ghost-type and Superpower System Pet】

【Qiao Sang once again sweeps 1-on-3】

“Xiao Xunbao…”

When he saw his name on the hot search, Xiao Xunbao covered his mouth and chuckled, then clicked on the relevant entries and carefully read the comments.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao first watched intently, then his mouth uncontrollably curved upwards, widening more and more. Then, covering his mouth, he floated happily around the room while looking at the comments on the phone.

Finally, he floated out of the room and finally shouted excitedly.

“Xun!”

After venting, Xiao Xunbao floated back into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his little brother staring at him with open eyes, which startled him.

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao called out in a suppressed voice.

You’re still awake?

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure let out a calm cry, indicating that his previous floating around and muffled giggles were too noisy.

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure pointed to the bedside table with his wing and let out a cry, indicating not to forget to charge the phone.

With that, he closed his eyes.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao obediently floated to the bedside table and plugged in the phone to charge.

After charging, he suddenly realized that something was a little off.

Who exactly is the big brother here?

…

The next morning, Qiao Sang got up, quickly washed up, and turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast of the Regional Competition.

The 216-to-108 strong competition would be held for five days.

She still had four days until her next stage of competition, and during that time, she naturally couldn’t miss watching other people’s matches.

After all, any of the advancing players could become her opponent.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao watched intently beside her.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Besides Ya Bao, Xiao Xunbao also, surprisingly, watched seriously beside them.

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao and casually asked:

“It’s so early in the morning, why are you also interested in watching the match?”

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao stared at the TV and cried out, indicating that knowing oneself and one’s enemy ensures victory in every battle.

Holy cow, when did he get so cultured… Qiao Sang turned her head and looked at Xiao Xunbao in surprise.

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao noticed his Yu Beast Master’s gaze and cried out with a puzzled expression, indicating what was wrong?

“Nothing…” Qiao Sang turned back to continue watching the match.

Speaking of which, have I been neglecting Xiao Xunbao’s studies for too long…

After the Regional Competition ends, I should find a knowledgeable Pet specifically for tutoring.

Otherwise, it would be a complete waste of his learning ability.
