Chapter 491: Chapter 456: Three High-Level Pet Beasts?! (Recommended to read together with tomorrow’s Chapter!)

On the virtual screen, the camera zoomed in for a close-up of the fainted Fire Suppressing Bird.

A Mechanical Beast with a referee badge hovered into the deep pit to take a look, and then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

There was an uproar in the stands as many people exclaimed and stood up.

High-level skills have always been one of the most talked-about topics in the National School Beast Taming Competition.

By the final stages of the national competition, the high-level skills of each contestant’s High Level Pet Beast were typically exposed to all.

Every contestant who had advanced to the national competition had used all their tricks to get this far, so it was unexpected that there were still contestants hiding high-level skills at the 66 to 33 stage of the national finals!

The most unsettling fact was that this contestant was none other than the youngest one, Qiao Sang!

"Destruction Death Ray! This Liaoxing Dog can actually use Destruction Death Ray!"

"Qiao Sang is too defying of the heavens! Is she really just 15 years old?!"

"Never mind 15, I couldn’t breed such a Pet Beast even at 51!"

"This Liaoxing Dog is just too cool!"

"Song Xinyue is really unlucky, I thought she would win the first match, but she got utterly dominated."

In the first row of the leadership area, Minister Huang of Lianbo District could not hide his disappointment. In his view, Song Xinyue was not without a chance to win.

While the Destruction Death Ray was indeed powerful, it required a certain level of concentration and time to cast, as well as the drawback of being immobilized afterward.

The Fire Suppressing Bird, being a High Level Pet Beast of both Fire Element and Flight Type, unquestionably had speed and reaction capabilities. Unfortunately, it was hit head-on by the Destruction Death Ray before it even sustained heavy injuries or fought for a few rounds.

Ultimately, the gap between the players was just too great.

Minister Zhao from Tuwei Region, who was sitting next to Minister Huang and had a good relationship with him, saw that Huang was silent and couldn’t help but speak:

"Song Xinyue also reacted quite quickly. Honestly, I only came to my senses after she called out ’Flame Dance’, but it’s a pity she faced Qiao Sang who had calculated everything to even the timing of the Destruction Death Ray perfectly."

"Yes," Minister Huang sighed, "She had anticipated that Song Xinyue’s attention would be on the Doppelgangers."

Minister Zhao said:

"Anyone seeing that many Doppelgangers for the first time would react the same way. To think Qiao Sang was such an extraordinary contestant, I thought her Spectral-type Pet Beast’s Spatial Movement was exaggerated enough, who would have expected her to have an even more exaggerated Liaoxing Dog."

Minister Huang said gravely:

"Actually, what’s most exaggerated is her grasp of the battle situation. The proficiency of that Destruction Death Ray just now must be at the level of basic mastery. Unlike other skills, it requires absolute concentration to release."

"With the Doppelgangers still present, the Liaoxing Dog had to divide some of its focus to control them. So she chose the moment right after the last Doppelganger disappeared to give the order. At that point, the Liaoxing Dog was ready, and the energy that had been distributed among the Doppelgangers could also return in part."

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to believe that a high school student could consider so much."

At this moment, Minister Zhou from Yuhua Region chimed in with a smile, "She’s from our region."

Minister Huang: "..."

Minister Zhao: "..."

...

In the contestant area.

Liu Yao was silent for a long time before asking, "When did Qiao Sang’s Liaoxing Dog learn Destruction Death Ray?"

Sun Boyi looked dazed, "I don’t know..."

Liu Yao fell silent again before asking, "What about her Liaoxing Dog’s Shadow Clone? When did it reach Mystique Level?"

Sun Boyi paused, "I don’t know..."

Liu Yao glanced at him, thinking, do you know anything?

Sun Boyi, sensing the meaning in the deputy principal’s eyes, realized with a start:

Fuck! It seems like I really don’t know anything!

...

"Yaobao!"

On the field, Yaobao was feeling smug, lifting its chin high with pride.

It was another dashing day!

With a wave of his hand, Qiao Sang summoned Yaobao, who was basking in his own handsomeness, back into the Beast Taming Codex.

Why did he summon it back? Could it be that he’s not planning to use the Liaoxing Dog for the next battle? If that’s the case, then... that’s just too good! Song Xinyue, upon seeing this, felt a weight lift off her heart.

After the recent battle, she really didn’t want to fight the Liaoxing Dog any longer!

"Qu!"

At that moment, the referee blew the whistle that signaled the summoning of Pet Beasts.

"Huff..."

Song Xinyue let out a breath, trying to relax.

Green and gray Star Arrays lit up once again.

Meanwhile, the chatter of the spectators rose and fell.

"What Pet Beast do you guys think Qiao Sang will send out this time?"

"It should still be the Liaoxing Dog, right? I read a post about Qiao Sang on a forum. When she competes against the same opponent, she basically just uses one Pet Beast."

"Then why did she just summon the Liaoxing Dog back?"

"...For a sense of ceremony?"

"What the heck kind of ceremony? I think Qiao Sang is going to summon that Spectral-type Pet Beast. After all, Song Xinyue only has one Mid-Level Pet Beast left. It would be boring if she still fights with the Liaoxing Dog—would end in one move."

"This is a national competition, who cares about it being boring? Winning is what’s important."

"To be honest, I’m quite eager to see Bingke Xilu. I heard it’s an endangered Pet Beast."

"I still want to see the Liaoxing Dog—holy crap!" The guy who was speaking suddenly widened his eyes as he saw one of the Pet Beasts on the field, and he stuttered:

"I, I remember Qiao Sang’s Spectral-type Pet Beast didn’t look like this; it, it couldn’t have evolved, could it?"

However, no one answered him. Nearly everyone had a blank expression, their minds buzzing.

The people in the leadership area were the same, even the usually composed and collected Minister Yan was stupefied.

Qiao Sang’s Treasure-seeking Demon, as a Mid-Level Pet Beast, already highly proficient in Shadow Control with Psychic Series attributes on top of that, gave such a lasting impression last time it appeared.

The gray figure on the field, although somewhat similar to the Treasure-seeking Demon, clearly wasn’t the same one they had seen last time.

The Treasure-seeking Demon, had evolved...

Realizing this, the crowd instantly exploded, completely losing control.

If this person were anyone else, the reaction wouldn’t be so intense.

But this person, was Qiao Sang.

"Ahhh! Is there someone from the Yuhua Region who can tell me! It has evolved, hasn’t it? Hasn’t it!"

"No, no, my mind is a bit muddled right now. So you’re telling me Qiao Sang now has three High-Level Pet Beasts?!"

"Oh come on, what’s even the point of competing now!"

"Three High-Level Pet Beasts, is she even human?!"

"I’m utterly shocked for my entire family! Qiao Sang’s just in his first year of high school! How the heck did he do it?!"

Students from the same school, clad in gray uniforms, wore stiff expressions and tacitly lowered the banners they had just raised.

At this point, asking them to cheer was simply impossible!

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

The people from Shengshui Middle School recovered and immediately, like they were injected with adrenaline, stood up and screamed Qiao Sang’s name at the top of their lungs, their faces flushing red, even the usually introverted Jin Feifan was no exception.

"Seek~"

On the field, Xiao Xunbao sensed the atmosphere around it and enthusiastically waved its bright claws toward the spectator stands.

A Steel Rhinoceros, a Mid-Level Mechanical Beast with both Steel and Ground Type attributes, stubborn to a fault, would be the perfect target to try out Xiao Xunbao’s Mind Headbutt... Qiao Sang looked at the rhinoceros-like Pet Beast in front of him, its body a dark brown with its head and all four limbs wrapped in steel, and thought to himself.
