Chapter 976: Rock Shock Camel (two in one)

Immediately after, a giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena, and the photo of Flying Sky Radium King beneath Zeng Feitian turned from color to black and white.

Zeng Feitian’s face fell. He took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and with a wave of his hand, recalled Flying Sky Radium King into his yu beast codex.

The audience was silent for two seconds, then erupted into an uproar that threatened to tear down the stadium.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Yan Jiaoou! Yan Jiaoou!”

“Yan Jiaoou is simply too cool! It feels like Flying Sky Radium King wasn’t its opponent at all!”

“Yan Jiaoou’s attacks feel so smooth, and its combat awareness is terrifyingly strong!”

“The moment it bit through the air slash in mid-air was truly awesome!”

“And that last move, Hellfire, descending from the sky, directly shattering the entire ground with flames and instantly defeating Flying Sky Radium King. Seriously, this scene absolutely deserves to be included in the most exciting highlight reel of this Regional Competition!”

“Are the Pets from Yuhua Region this cool?!”

“Is Flying Sky Radium King really Zeng Feitian’s ace Pet?”

“It’s not that Flying Sky Radium King isn’t strong; it’s that Yan Jiaoou is simply too strong. It feels like it could rank among the top few King-level Pets that have appeared in this Regional Competition.”

“Is Yan Jiaoou really a newly evolved King-level Pet? It doesn’t seem like it at all.”

“I’ve found that I really want to contract every single one of Qiao Sang’s Pets…”

“Well, I’m not that greedy; I just want to contract Qingyin Fairy.”

“…”

At the same time.

In the official live stream, everyone was frantically spamming:

“Congratulations, Qiao Shen, for winning another round!”

“Yan Jiaoou! Yan Jiaoou!”

“I’m preparing to go to the Yuhua Region. Dual-attribute Pets of the Fire-type and Superpower System are so cheap there; you won’t find a second species like it anywhere else in the world!”

“I’m sad to inform you that Fire Fang Dog’s price just went up.”

“What the heck, it went up? I haven’t even bought one yet!”

“The Pet base is right next to my house. I know the staff there. When Qiao Sang summoned Yan Jiaoou, I called to ask, and they said all the Fire Fang Dogs at the Pet base are already sold out. They’ll have more after a while, and even a fool knows the price won’t be the same then.”

“Pet bases are the most informed about these Pet breeds. They must have also watched Qiao Sang’s match and know that Fire Fang Dog’s latest evolution chain can reach the King-level, so they’re raising prices.”

“Brother, how much did the price go up? Tell me so I can give up hope.”

“I haven’t asked that yet.”

“Huh? My neighbor’s Pet breeding shop just posted about Fire Fang Dog on their WeChat Moments. I asked, and the price hasn’t gone up.”

“Then why aren’t you going to get it right away! The owner of this Pet breeding shop definitely doesn’t know that Fire Fang Dog’s latest form can evolve into a King-level Pet yet!”

“You fake fans, only caring about whether Fire Fang Dog’s price went up. I’m the only one who cares when the new photos of Ya Bao’s endorsed sunglasses will be uploaded.”

“Who is Ya Bao?”

“Yan Jiaoou’s name, given by Qiao Shen.”

At the competition venue.

“Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning the second match!” On the Commentator’s desk, Tian Yiwan excitedly said,

“What a clean and decisive match! It also showed us Qiao Sang’s true strength!”

Tang Xueran said, “Yan Jiaoou first used teleportation to dodge a head-on clash with Flying Sky Radium King, then used Flame Charge to ram Flying Sky Radium King to the ground, and finally ended the match with Hellfire. I have to say, this match was full of passion, brought us a strong visual impact, and ignited everyone’s enthusiasm. It was a wonderful match.”

“Actually, Zeng Feitian’s strategy wasn’t problematic either,” Tian Yiwan said professionally. “Flying Sky Radium King’s Feather Dance was indeed a tactic aimed at Yan Jiaoou. It’s just that Yan Jiaoou’s reaction speed and attack power were both superior to Flying Sky Radium King. Before being affected by the Feather Dance combo, it successfully unleashed Mars Rain, directly causing severe injury to Flying Sky Radium King.”

“Even if the attack power was reduced afterward, it was still fatal to Flying Sky Radium King.”

“Yan Jiaoou’s Hellfire, even under the influence of Feather Dance, was still so powerful,” Tang Xueran sighed.

“If there was no influence, this move would probably be even stronger.”

After a pause, she added,

“However, when Yan Jiaoou used Mars Rain, as the moonlight shone down, a silver glow appeared on its body. It seems to be the Moonlight Power characteristic of the Fairy-type.”

“This characteristic is relatively rare. When bathed in moonlight, its energy becomes exceptionally active, and its state in anything it does is twice its usual state.”

“If Yan Jiaoou truly possesses this characteristic, then in night matches, it will be at full power, with double attack, which makes its overwhelming strength over Flying Sky Radium King very understandable.”

“Not necessarily,” Tian Yiwan retorted.

“The moon phase changes every night, and weather factors can also block moonlight. It’s not every night that you can look up and see the moon. Without moonlight, this characteristic is useless.”

“That’s right,” Tang Xueran said, looking at the arena and returning to the main topic. “The third match is about to begin, which is Qiao Sang’s match point. From the looks of it, she has no intention of recalling Yan Jiaoou.”

Tian Yiwan cooperated, “Zeng Feitian’s two King-level Pets have already appeared. There should be no suspense in this match.”

On the field.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao teleported to its Yu Beast Master’s side, excitedly looking at the humans in the distance, its eyes full of anticipation.

It already wanted to start the next match immediately!

Ya Bao definitely hadn’t had enough… Qiao Sang saw Ya Bao’s condition and didn’t recall it into her yu beast codex.

Zeng Feitian glanced at Yan Jiaoou’s gaze intently fixed on him in the distance, then at Qiao Sang, discerning her intention not to recall Yan Jiaoou. He suddenly felt a little sorry for the Pet he was about to summon.

At this moment, a light projection of “10” appeared in the center of the arena, constantly changing with the mechanical voice’s broadcast:

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

The light projection disappeared.

Zeng Feitian formed hand seals.

A dazzling crimson star array lit up in front of him.

Soon, a Pet about six meters tall, mostly brownish-gray, with humps on its back resembling rock structures, appeared within the star array.

Rock Tremor Camel, a Ground-type General-level Pet, extremely dislikes water and moisture, has an honest personality, believes whatever others say, even if it’s not a Yu Beast Master’s words, it’s easily convinced, possesses the ‘Anger Acupoint’ characteristic, when hit in a vital spot, it will shed its honest demeanor, its temper will become terrifyingly bad, and its attack power will greatly increase… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet in the distance, and related information flashed through her mind.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao glanced at its opponent, which was half a head shorter than itself, and its expression visibly turned to disappointment.

“Rock Slide!”

Although Zeng Feitian knew he would lose this match, he didn’t respond passively and immediately issued the command.

“Rock Tremor!”

The Rock Tremor Camel roared, lifted its two front paws, and stomped down heavily.

Its roar shook the arena, and as its paws hit the ground, the ground trembled and suddenly tore open. Tall rocks appeared with a roar at the裂痕位置, heading straight for Ya Bao’s location.

A flicker of interest reignited in Ya Bao’s eyes. It stomped its front left paw down forcefully.

Flames erupted from the ground, sweeping forward indiscriminately with the power of fire, instantly shattering the towering rocks one by one into dust.

With a loud “bang.”

The area where the Rock Tremor Camel stood was instantly engulfed in an explosion of surging flames.

“Rock Tremor!”

The Rock Tremor Camel screamed and flew backward.

The next second, Ya Bao disappeared with a teleport, appearing at the spot where the Rock Tremor Camel was about to fall, opening its mouth to reveal sharp fangs.

A gigantic Yan Jiaoou head, condensed from flames, instantly materialized, synchronizing its movements to open its fangs.

Just as Ya Bao was about to Bite down, it suddenly sensed something, paused, and stopped its movement.

The Yan Jiaoou head condensed from flames dissipated.

The Rock Tremor Camel fell to the ground, already unconscious with its eyes closed.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao looked at its opponent, who was lying on the ground with eyes closed, and fell into a moment of silence.

Zeng Feitian was also silent, not issuing commands like “get up.”

He knew that he had already lost this match.

The gap between King-level Pets and General-level Pets was inherently huge, and it was absolutely impossible for a lower-level Pet to defeat a higher-level one, unlike in the early and intermediate stages of Pet training.

Even if the Rock Tremor Camel were to get back up at his call, the outcome would not change at all.

A mechanical referee appeared beside the Rock Tremor Camel, observed it for a moment, and waved a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s location.

A giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the arena.

Zeng Feitian’s photo disappeared, leaving only Qiao Sang, Lu Bao, and Ya Bao’s enlarged photos on the screen.

Small bursts of light and shadow fireworks exploded above the photos.

No one was surprised by such a result.

On the Commentator’s desk, Tian Yiwan immediately said loudly:

“Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning this round of the competition! She has successfully advanced to the top 27!”

The entire venue cheered.

Everyone applauded thunderously, shouting Qiao Sang and Yan Jiaoou’s names.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao listened to the shouts of its name from all around, instantly forgetting the disappointment brought by the last match. It puffed out its chest and proudly accepted the cheers of the crowd like a superstar.

Guest area.

Tao Coach of the Guo Yu Bureau watched Qiao Sang for a while, then stood up.

…

Qiao Sang returned backstage, holding the miniaturized Ya Bao.

For a while, she had kept Ya Bao hidden in the competition venue to conceal its information, but now that Ya Bao had competed, she no longer had such concerns.

At this time, there were no other contestants lingering backstage.

The last group of contestants’ match was being played on the giant virtual screen.

Qiao Sang sat down to watch.

When it came to the last match point, she suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Ya Bao, which one do you support?”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao unhesitatingly pointed to the red monkey-like Pet.

The next second, a thunderclap descended from the sky.

A yellow lightning bolt suddenly appeared high in the sky, powerfully curving down and striking the head of the red monkey-like Pet.

The red monkey-like Pet’s head was scorched black, and it immediately closed its eyes and fell to the ground.

A mechanical referee appeared, looked for a moment, and waved a green flag towards the other purple tiger-like Pet and its Yu Beast Master.

Ya Bao: “…”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Sure enough, Ya Bao’s performance was as consistent as ever…

After the Commentator congratulated the winning contestant of this round and announced the end of the round, the Host, standing on a Flying-type Pet, appeared in mid-air in the center of the arena and said,

“Next, there will be a three-day revival match. We will select five contestants from those eliminated in this round to advance to the next round…”

That’s good, three days to rest… Qiao Sang held Ya Bao and got up to leave backstage.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Accommodation area.

Room 2603.

Even though it was late at night, Ye Xiangting was still incredibly excited, showing no signs of being tired:

“Today’s matches were so beautiful! Lu Bao getting its tail bitten, and then the Ice Cone piercing through Iron War Dragon’s mouth was simply amazing! And Ya Bao, that Mars Rain was incredible, what was that last move called again?”

“Hellfire,” Qiao Sang reminded her.

“That’s Hellfire!” Ye Xiangting grew more excited as she spoke. “When that move came out, the fire just exploded the entire arena! It was so cool! I estimate that tomorrow, news will spread in the Yuhua Region that the Yan Ling Dog evolution chain can evolve to the King-level. Many people asked me about the price of Fire Fang Dog today, and the staff also sent messages…”

Qiao Sang assumed a listening posture.

But she still couldn’t help but yawn.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangting suddenly remembered how late it was, and her voice immediately softened, saying,

“It’s very late now. You should go to bed early. I’ll leave first.”

“Okay, Mom, you should go to bed early too,” Qiao Sang said, then looked at Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Before she could speak, Xiao Xunbao called out, showing an expression of “I understand,” and looked at Ye Xiangting, its eyes glowing blue.

Immediately after, it took her and disappeared from the spot.

“Then I’ll leave too,” Mi Jiala said, getting up from the sofa.

Qiao Sang quickly said, “Good night, Teacher.”

Mi Jiala glanced at Qiao Sang and said with a smile,

“You performed well today.”

After speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

Qiao Sang paused, then smiled.

She lay on the bed, turned off the light, and closed her eyes.

B-level Beast Tamers were as difficult to deal with as she had imagined. Lu Bao’s match almost resulted in a loss, and Ya Bao only won relatively easily because its energy directly broke through to the mid-King-level during its evolution, plus the Moonlight Power at night.

Otherwise, the battle wouldn’t have been won so easily…

This was only the first B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer encountered in the Regional Competition. The opponents in the upcoming matches would all be B-Grade Professional Pet Tamers… Ya Bao still had two Ultra-level skills it hadn’t used… Lu Bao used all its powerful means to win the match tonight. Others probably could calculate how long Lu Bao’s Ice Heaven Domain could last. To go further in the competition, she still needed to train more, strengthen them, and ideally develop some unknown tactics, and also Xiao Xunbao and the others… Qiao Sang thought as she drifted off to sleep.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao snuggled close to its Yu Beast Master and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Bao emitted cold air throughout its body in the water tank, practicing Ice Armor.

Steel Treasure stood by the window, its eyes closed.

Xiao Xunbao teleported back and saw this scene.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao looked around the room.

Where’s the fifth one?

Happy Birthday, Qiao Sang! May you successfully participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future!
