Chapter 964: Tian Bing Ya (two in one)

Player Area.

Qiao Sang found her corresponding seat, and as soon as she sat down, she heard the person next to her greet her:

“What a coincidence, we’re sitting together again.”

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw that it was Rong Yuhua, the player who had sat next to her last time. She gave a polite smile:

“It is quite a coincidence.”

Rong Yuhua lowered his voice and asked:

“The internet says your Qingfeng Ni Ni evolved. Is that true?”

Before asking, he already had the answer in his heart. Now, he just wanted to use this topic to converse.

Logically speaking, players would subconsciously avoid discussing topics about the strength of their Pets.

Even if they did talk, it would either be about a Pet that had already been sent out, whose strength had been mostly displayed, and everyone already knew what there was to know.

Or they felt that it didn’t matter even if they talked about their Pet’s strength.

Or it was a casual question and a casual answer, and whether you believed it was your own business.

Qiao Sang’s situation was special. The Pet he was interested in, even if it evolved, would only be a High-level Pet and couldn’t appear in a competition, so it wasn’t considered probing for strength. Rong Yuhua chatted without any reservations.

“It evolved.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Rong Yuhua’s eyes lit up, then he thought of something and asked:

“Do you live in Zhongshui Xianshu?”

Zhongshui Xianshu is the name of the residence where Yu Ke lives.

“No.” Qiao Sang shook her head: “My friend lives there.”

After speaking, she asked: “How did you know this location?”

Did the paparazzi even expose the detailed location of the training ground?

“I have a friend who lives there.” Rong Yuhua replied: “The video of Qingfeng Ni Ni’s evolution captured the layout of the training ground, and my friend messaged me saying it was the same place he lives.”

He paused, then asked: “Others will definitely dig up your training location sooner or later. Are you going to change your training spot next?”

Qiao Sang: “???”

If it’s dug up, I have to change locations? Is it that serious?

Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds, then said: “All the remaining training grounds in Tian’an City were booked by some guy on the same day, so I can’t change locations.”

That guy is me… Rong Yuhua instantly fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, he finally spoke, saying what he had wanted to say earlier: “Do you want to train at my place? I have several empty properties in Tian’an City.”

If he were a B-level Beast Tamer, even if there was a slight chance of defeating Qiao Sang, he would never provide her with a training ground. But he is currently only a C-level Beastmaster, and even if he became Qiao Sang’s opponent, there was no chance of winning.

Since that was the case, it was better to build a good relationship.

Qiao Sang glanced at him and refused:

“No need, training at my friend’s place is quite good.”

Compared to Rong Yuhua, who was also a player, she naturally trusted Yu Ke, who had a vested interest, more.

Rong Yuhua, feeling guilty for booking all the remaining training grounds in Tian’an City, did not say anything more.

…

Family Area.

Ye Xiangting had already become the central figure in this area.

Almost everyone surrounded her, chattering away.

“Qiao Sang’s mother, is that video online true?”

“Did Qingfeng Ni Ni really evolve into Qingyin Fairy?”

“Can we add each other’s contact information?”

“You’ve come all the way from Yuhua Region to watch the competition, so you probably haven’t explored Zhongkong Region much. After the competition, call Qiao Sang, and I’ll take you two to have a good time in Zhongkong Region.”

Ye Xiangting responded to each question with ease:

“I don’t know, I haven’t been online much… I’m not sure, Qiao Sang has been training outside, and she doesn’t call home much. I only found out she became a B-level Beast Tamer when I came to watch the competition… Of course… Okay, I’ll ask Qiao Sang then to see if she has time.”

Liu Yao listened to the conversation silently from the side.

A seemingly equally taciturn uncle next to him asked:

“Are you Qiao Sang’s father?”

Liu Yao was concise: “No.”

The uncle asked curiously: “Then who are you?”

Liu Yao did not reveal his identity as a researcher, and said modestly: “I’m her high school teacher.”

The uncle’s eyes lit up, and he asked:

“Which high school?”

Liu Yao replied: “Shengshui High School.”

The uncle asked again: “Is Qiao Sang still attending?”

“No, she has already been admitted to university early.” Liu Yao said.

The uncle was gossipy to the end: “Which university?”

Liu Yao did not hide it: “Imperial Beast Academy.”

The uncle was stunned for a second, then felt it was very reasonable. He immediately pulled out his phone and sent the gossiped news to the “Loving Family” group:

【I just found out that Qiao Sang is attending Imperial Beast Academy!】

While typing, it was nine o’clock in the morning.

The Host came to the stage, welcomed the audience, introduced the guests, and went through all the procedures, finally getting to the main topic:

“Next, we will proceed with the grouping for the top 108 to advance to the top 54! Let’s welcome the referee from the notary office!”

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field.

Everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on the screen and Fen Tongji.

“Fen Fen.”

Fen Tongji came to the center of the field, split into two, and its head floated towards the giant virtual screen in the center, merging into it.

Photos of all the players began to rapidly interlace and shuffle.

After about ten seconds, the photos were paired up, two by two, and froze on the screen.

Qiao Sang glanced slightly and saw her photo in the third group.

That’s good, competing on the first day all three times, so I won’t be maliciously disturbed when resting at night… Qiao Sang felt relieved and looked at her opponent.

The moment she saw her opponent’s photo, the corner of her mouth, which had just turned up, dropped again.

Shi Bing, 38 years old, a C-level Beastmaster. Although his rank is only a C-level Beastmaster, he has actually cultivated a King-level Pet.

As a C-level Beastmaster, yet possessing a King-level Pet, he naturally garnered much attention.

Even though he won his previous two rounds with only two Pets, Qiao Sang still knew the levels of all his Pets through the media.

One King-level, two General-level, and one High Level.

If there were no surprises, the Pets he would send out would definitely be one King-level and two General-level.

As expected, I’m not that lucky to encounter an opponent who would send out a High-level Pet… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

A General-level Pet, even if it’s just in its early stage, Qingbao would definitely lose if it encountered one.

As thoughts flickered, a Staff walked over and respectfully announced the names of the first three groups of players, inviting them to the backstage for preparation.

Qiao Sang got up and followed the group to the backstage.

She did not wait in the backstage lounge like the previous two times, but instead went to an unoccupied corner.

“Qingbao.” Qiao Sang called out.

“Qingqing.” Qingbao appeared.

“The weakest Pet the next opponent will send out will only be a General-level Pet.” Qiao Sang explained the opponent’s situation.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao was stunned for a moment.

What does that mean?

She couldn’t go on stage?

Qingbao seemed to understand something and showed a crestfallen expression.

At the same time, a strong wind also blew around them.

Qiao Sang’s hair fluttered, and she continued with a serious expression:

“So, are you ready? To battle a General-level Pet.”

“Qingqing…” Qingbao looked up, staring blankly at her Yu Beast Master.

At the same time, the strong wind suddenly stopped.

Qiao Sang continued: “Don’t worry, I’ll wear down the General-level Pet first, but even so, its strength will definitely far exceed yours. If you feel the chances of winning are slim, I will actually participate in many other competitions later.”

To be honest, unless the General-level Pet was almost knocked out, Qingbao really had little chance of winning.

If Qingbao had an idol burden like Yaobao or Little Qunbao, for her first appearance in front of everyone, she really wouldn’t recommend going on stage for this competition.

“Qingqing!”

Almost the very next second after she finished speaking, Qingbao nodded with a determined expression.

She wanted to go on stage!

“Even if you lose?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao nodded vigorously.

“Why do you want to compete so much?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask curiously.

In her opinion, Qingbao was not the type to be overly competitive.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao thought seriously for a moment, then called out, indicating that she wanted to give it a try.

“Try?” Qiao Sang was startled.

This was an answer she hadn’t expected.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao nodded.

Trying, whether it was Steel Treasure or Little Qunbao, they all seemed to really enjoy competing, and…

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao paused, then showed a sweet smile and called out again.

We are companions, aren’t we? I also want to win the competition for you.

Qingbao… After hearing this, Qiao Sang was incredibly moved and said with passion:

“Good! We’ll win the competition!”

…

Time passed.

The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.

On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan looked at the next group of players’ information, his voice unconsciously becoming excited:

“Next up are Player Qiao Sang and Player Shi Bing! Both of these players are highly anticipated in this competition!”

“That’s right.” Tang Xueran echoed:

“One is Player Qiao Sang, the youngest and most discussed participant this year, who frequently trended even on days without matches. The other is Player Shi Bing, one of the few C-level Beastmasters with a King-level Pet, capable of going back and forth with B-level Beast Tamers.”

As she spoke, she heard the whole venue erupt in cheers and laughed: “At this moment, I can already hear the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, it seems everyone is looking forward to the upcoming match.”

Screams filled the audience stands:

“Ah! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ghost Ring King! Steel Sword Falcon!”

“Qingyin Fairy! Please! Let me see Qingyin Fairy!”

“Qiao Shen! Qiao Shen! You’ll definitely be divine!”

Even if there were Shi Bing’s fans in the audience, their shouts were quickly drowned out at this moment.

At this moment, Tian Yiwan spoke:

“Player Qiao Sang and Player Shi Bing are entering!”

As his words fell, two green bird-type Pets shot up into the sky from the underground passage.

The screams from the audience suddenly rose to another level:

“Ah ah ah! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Shi Bing! Shi Bing!”

“King-level Pet! I want to see a King-level Pet!”

“Qingyin Fairy! I want to see Qingyin Fairy!”

Amidst the screams, a light projection of “10” appeared on the field.

The crowd in the audience section quietly settled down in unison.

Family Area.

Ye Xiangting looked at the robust figure on the field, thought of something, frowned slightly, and turned her head to ask:

“Is Shi Bing’s four Pets one King-level, two General-level, and one High Level?”

Liu Yao had only watched the competition and was not aware of the external information.

He thought for a moment and said:

“I know he sent out one King-level and one General-level in the last competition, the rest I’m not too clear about.”

Ye Xiangting looked at the field, and the excitement she had felt earlier when her daughter was about to play turned into worry.

Although her daughter was a B-level Beast Tamer, both Yaobao and Luba were newly evolved.

Even if a King-level Pet’s internal energy was only a small stage different, its strength would be vastly different.

And Qingbao, if the opponent was as she saw online, Qingbao might not be able to participate… The light and shadow on the field kept changing, and soon it reached “1.”

The light and shadow then disappeared.

Qiao Sang and Shi Bing simultaneously formed hand seals.

A crimson star array and an orange-yellow star array lit up on the field.

Soon, two exceptionally large figures appeared within the star arrays.

With the appearance of the Pet almost entirely covered in dark blue scales from the crimson star array, the temperature on the field suddenly dropped, and large patches of pure white snowflakes suddenly fell.

The snowflakes fell around the noble and mysterious Pet, their beautiful and shocking extent causing the audience to be momentarily stunned.

“What kind of Pet is this? So beautiful…”

“I don’t know, but it must be King-level…”

“Is this Qiao Sang’s King-level Pet? So good-looking…”

“I feel like, just in terms of appearance, it could easily participate in those international Coordination Competitions.”

At the same time.

Regional Competition official live broadcast room.

Suddenly, the bullet screen started to scroll frantically:

【Ah!!! Ice Emperor Ram!!! Ice Emperor Ram!!!】

【I’m going crazy! What did I see?!】

【Families of Ancient Mist Region! All of you, flood the screen!!!】

【Ah ah ah! Qiao Sang actually cultivated the original Ice Kexilu into an Ice Emperor Ram! Oh my god! I’m going crazy!】

【Ice Emperor Ram! Ah! Tell me, how can I buy live tickets for the Zhongkong Region Regional Competition! I want to go to the site!】

【Brothers, see you in Zhongkong Region, I’ve already bought my plane ticket to Zhongkong Region.】

【Families, my boss won’t let me take leave to go to Zhongkong Region, so I’ve already resigned.】

【I declare that Qiao Sang will be my only idol from now on!】

【Ah! Qiao Sang! Come to our Ancient Mist Region! Although our Regional Competition just ended not long ago, for the sake of Ice Emperor Ram, we can apply to hold next year’s Regional Competition early!】

【Families of Ancient Mist Region, all of you, flood the screen! Ice Emperor Ram’s prestige must be there!!!】

【What the heck? Why are there so many people from Ancient Mist Region?】

…

Competition site.

Luba looked at her opponent in the distance, her expression calm.

Sky Ice Crow, a Flying-type and Ice dual-attribute King-level Pet, whose body temperature is constantly around minus ten degrees Celsius, can drink a large amount of water and create snow clouds within its body, and will bring about Blizzard weather whenever it gets angry… I remember this Sky Ice Crow of the opponent demonstrated the Snow Concealment characteristic in the previous matches… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, which was about twelve meters in size, seemed to be entirely made of Ice, and had Ice Thorns on its back, and related information appeared in her mind.
