After reading out the other party's name, Qiao Sang realized something and quickly looked in the direction of Liefeld and said:

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xia Huo smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I have set up a barrier. They can't hear us."

Qiao Sang looked around and, as expected, felt the presence of a barrier.

Her first thought was relief: Fortunately, Leifed didn't hear that, otherwise if he misunderstood, how could she have a good relationship with him.

Then, she became slightly alert and looked at Xia Huo in front of her. A second thought came to her mind:

Flame Class Xia Huo, Mikaela was right, the Flame Class members really shouldn't be underestimated. I hadn't noticed her approach before, nor the barrier's appearance...

"Steel Power."

As the thought flashed through his mind, Gangbao's voice rang out in his mind.

It's because you were just concentrating on imagining things.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"We didn't have a good chat last time we met. Now that you've finished the comprehensive examination, do you want to go out and find a place to sit for a while?" Xia Huo said with a smile.

Qiao Sang remembered Teacher Mikaela's words and said:

"I'm afraid not. I have a competition tomorrow and I have to go back and train as soon as possible."

After a pause, she added, "We can find some time to sit down after the game."

Xia Huo smiled and changed the subject: "Besides you, it seems that there is also someone named Jules joining your school's imperial class this time. Why don't I see you two together?"

"I don't know him." Qiao Sang said.

She was no stranger to the name Jules. Teacher Michaela had given her a list of all the contestants, and naturally he was included.

Jules, a 58-year-old student in the Imperial Class of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, owns three imperial-level pets.

After responding, she looked around and asked, "Why don't I see Jerome with you?"

Jerome, a student of Yantian University's Yan Class, is 61 years old and owns four royal-level pets.

Xia Huo waved his hand: "I'm not familiar with him."

As she spoke, she smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I'm a little familiar with you."

Qiao Sang said with a smile: "You followed me a week ago?"

A week ago, I went out to the Beast Taming Center to register the information of Xiao Xunbao and Lubao. When I came out, Xiao Xunbao asked to buy a certain brand of toothpaste, so I went to look for it nearby and found that I was being followed.

The person who was following looked very ordinary, riding a bicycle, just like a passerby, but there was a faint purple outline around his body, which made him look very unusual.

At that time, she looked around and found that the people around her did not react to the abnormal phenomenon of this person, so she knew that no one else could see it.

Later, she bought some toothpaste and asked Xiao Xunbao to teleport home. She asked Teacher Mikaela and only then did she know that this was a phenomenon that occurred when a person was possessed by a ghost-type pet. Normally, even a beastmaster with clairvoyance could not see it.

She didn't know of any ghost-type pets that could possess people, but someone with the ability to possess people knew of one.

Xia Huo was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

She pretended to be so convincing, with barely half the acting skills I have... Qiao Sang stared at her without saying a word.

After staring at him for five seconds, Xia Huo raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did you find out?"

Qiao Sang lied with his eyes open: "Because you have a special aura, even if you attach yourself to someone else, it is very obvious."

Xia Huo couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Although it was obviously a lie, I enjoyed hearing it."

After saying that, her smile faded, and after a few seconds of choosing her words, she asked:

"So, you went to register the information of Night Ring King and Ice Emperor Ram that day?"

Qiao Sang didn't hide anything. He said "hmm" and asked with a smile, "I just finished registering. You should know it, right?"

The headquarters of Yantian University is on Yantian Star. If you register yourself in the beast taming center system of Yantian Star, even if Yantian University does not have a mechanical pet as powerful as Guilun Saier, it is still easy to find out the information of the beast tamers registered on Yantian Star.

Xia Huo's expression suddenly became complicated. She knew that Qiao Sang had tacitly agreed to this matter.

Abnormal, absolutely abnormal. Not only did he become an A-level professional beastmaster at such a young age, but he also possessed four royal-level pets in such a short period of time... Xia Huo suppressed the urge to swear, managed his expression, and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about? I don't have such a skill. I just heard people mention it. You know, you and your pet appeared in the promotional video. You are more or less a celebrity now."

As she spoke, her expression became serious:

"Hopefully we'll meet at the Masters Challenge."

Qiao Sang said: "I hope so too."

As soon as the words fell, a staff member came over and said respectfully:

"Contestant Qiao Sang, the contestants ahead have been checked. I will lead the way for you."

"Then I'll leave first." Qiao Sang nodded slightly to Xia Huo, then stood up with Xia Lala in his arms and followed the staff out of the lounge.

The conversation quieted down for a moment, and almost everyone looked over.

When Qiao Sang's figure completely disappeared, someone finally couldn't help but speak:

"I heard that this player named Qiao Sang is only 18 years old. Is that true?"

Although everyone present was an A-level professional beastmaster, there were differences between A-level beastmasters and A-level beastmasters, such as in their ability to gather intelligence.

The person next to him mocked:

"You didn't ask when they were here, but now that they're gone you're asking."

The person who had spoken originally shouted angrily, “You!”

Liefeld suddenly interrupted, "Has Serana been here?"

The person who was speaking suddenly became quiet.

"Not yet." Someone answered.

Lefed said nothing.

Everyone looked at each other, quickly changed the topic, and continued chatting happily.

Xia Huo glanced around, then withdrew his gaze feeling bored and walked out of the lounge.

In her opinion, even if some of these people are stronger than her now, they will never become her opponents in the future.

Now, among all the contestants, the one she is most interested in is Qiao Sang.

…

The next day, early morning.

Qiao Sang simply washed up and changed into the clothes he thought were the best.

Little Xunbao was brushing his teeth carefully in front of the bathroom mirror.

Qingbao was standing next to him, practicing smiling in front of the mirror, and turning his head around to try to find the angle that looked best on him.

"Tooth?"

"Tooth?"

Yabao looked at the pile of sunglasses spread out on the bed and excitedly asked his beastmaster which one looked the best.

As he spoke, he tried on each pair of sunglasses.

After looking at them one by one, Qiao Sang gave his advice: "Choose the red one."

"Ya Ya!"

Yabao immediately put on the red sunglasses.

Gangbao was wiping his feathers with a special care liquid.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao looked at this scene with a puzzled expression. He looked at Lubao, the only one who was not busy, and shouted, asking why everyone was acting so weird.

"Ice Saint."

Lubao thought about it and cried out.

Maybe it’s because of the competition.

"Tingting?"

Tingbao was still confused.

Do I need to dress up for the competition?

"Ice Saint."

Lubao thought for a moment and gave an answer.

Many beastmasters and their pets will dress up before the competition.

It still remembers that when they were competing in Super Star, their own beastmaster took them to get their pets groomed.

"Tingting..."

Tingbao showed an expression of "So that's how it is."

It was silent for two seconds, twisted its body and flew to the side of Gangbao, and called out:

"Tingting."

Gangbao looked at it, and then handed over the care solution and disposable wipes.

Tingbao took it, poured the care liquid on the cloth, and began to wipe himself carefully.

"Xia Xia..."

Xia Lala watched from the side and suddenly felt that she should dress up, so she picked up the kettle and poured water on her head.

This was what Michaela saw when he walked in.

She was stunned at first, then understood something and smiled, "The most important thing tonight is the opening ceremony. According to the custom of previous Masters Challenges, if the opening ceremony is held at night, only one group of contestants will appear to create the highest atmosphere for the opening ceremony."

What this means is that you won't be performing tonight.

The players are randomly formed into teams, but the system can arrange which group will appear first.

Generally speaking, the first group of contestants to appear are those who are more popular in the planet.

Yabao doesn't understand.

Lubao didn't care.

Gangbao and Tingbao continued to wipe their bodies with care liquid.

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao understood, and while brushing his teeth, he floated out of the bathroom and called out.

But it will be broadcast live across the entire interstellar space.

As long as there is a shot where it appears, it must ensure that the picture it appears in is perfect!

After saying that, little Xunbao floated back to the bathroom while brushing his teeth.

Live broadcast of the entire interstellar space... In the bathroom, Qingbao, who had just stopped what he was doing, heard this and continued to raise the corners of his mouth and practice smiling.

Qiao Sang said as she tied her hair, "I know, but this is the first time for me and Yabao to participate in such a large-scale competition."

"Ya Ya!"

Yabao cried out.

It's great to be young. Even participating in the opening ceremony of the Masters Challenge is so energetic... Mikaela sighed inwardly and smiled:

"The food is ready. Once you've cleaned up, come down and eat."

"Right away." Qiao Sang replied.

…

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Above a giant stadium, a group of flying pets wearing neon clothes suddenly appeared.

They shuttled neatly in the sky, forming formations.

Accompanied by the passionate BGM, neon lights of various colors intertwine in the sky.

As the bgm was about to end, the neon formation composed of flying pets also began to count down.

“3, 2, 1.”

High in the sky, the flying pets froze in the formation of "1" and stopped.

Bgm stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the neon lights in the shape of "1" in the sky suddenly turned into gorgeous fireworks and scattered.

Everyone and their pets looked up.

Amidst the sky full of fireworks, a figure in a black suit and a figure in a blue dress suddenly jumped from the sky at the same time and landed steadily on the ground.

All the spotlights converged.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the opening ceremony of the Master Challenge Cup! I am the host, Aurore!"

"I am the host Nephthys!"

As they finished speaking, red rose petals suddenly rolled up from the ground.

"Guigui!"

A beautiful pet appeared among them. It was over one meter tall, with a red rose ornament on its head and its lower body seemed to be wrapped in red rose petals. It picked up the microphone, smiled and waved to the black heads in the audience, and called out.

Deafening cheers followed, and the audience's enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

"Ya Ya!"

"Ya Ya!"

In the audience seats, Yabao shouted excitedly along with the audience.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao was sitting nearby and was also infected by the atmosphere. He excitedly waved his paws in the direction of the three hosts.

Then it thought of something and turned to its own beastmaster and called out:

"Xunxun!"

It will also be a host in the future!

Qiao Sang said with a smile: "You should focus on the competition first. Being a contestant will get more screen time than being a host."

"Xunxun~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao clenched his fists and shouted with fighting spirit.

It's ready for battle!

At this time, a camera was pointed at me.

Little Xunbao noticed it keenly, and instantly waved his paw towards the camera accurately, grinning, revealing two rows of unusually white teeth.

It was like two rows of white teeth suddenly appeared against the black background, and the photographer holding the camera couldn't help but tremble his hands when he saw it.

Oh my god, there's a pet there...

…

at the same time.

Blue Star.

2:15 AM.

Dragon Country, Hangzhou-Hong Kong City.

In a modern villa.

Ye Xiangting sat on the sofa with two big dark circles under her eyes, staring at the TV.

"Tongskating..."

Tong Huaxiao was yawning and tears were streaming from his eyes.

The attendant, who had evolved into a steward, placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the coffee table and called out:

"Take care of it."

"Thank you..." Ye Xiangting stared at the TV and took a sip of coffee while speaking.

"Tongskating..."

Tong Huaxiao couldn't help but shout, indicating that we should go to bed first, as it seemed that there was only the opening ceremony tonight.

"I'm not sleeping..." Ye Xiangting said in a sleepy voice, "The contestants will be on camera during the opening ceremony. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll show you the replay tomorrow..."

"Tongskating..."

Tonghuaxiao yawned, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, indicating that if you don’t sleep, I won’t sleep either. He also wanted to see Qiaosang, Yabao and the others.

"Guan Guan?"

Guan Zhishi listened to the conversation, looked at Tong Huaxiao, and called out considerately, asking, "Can I make you a cup of coffee too?"

"Tongskating..."

Tong Huaxiao cried out.

Thanks, but it won't drink it, it's too bitter...

"Xinxin..."

The old man lying on the ground cried out weakly, asking for a drink, as he could hardly hold on any longer...

"Take care of it."

Guan Zhishi nodded and went to the kitchen.

Suddenly, Ye Xiangting saw something and exclaimed, "Ah!" Her voice suddenly rose several degrees, and she became more alert.

"That scared me! Two rows of teeth just suddenly appeared!"

"Tongskating..."

Tonghuaxiao looked at the TV. The picture had changed. It struggled to keep its eyelids open and cried out, indicating that maybe it was too dark.

"A human can't be this dark. It must be a pet. And its teeth don't look like a human's." Ye Xiangting took a sip of coffee, calmed down, and complained:

"This pet is quite evil..." (End of this chapter)
