As soon as he finished speaking, a giant virtual screen appeared on the field.
Twenty photos flashed by rapidly.
All eyes, including those of the animals, were fixed on the virtual screen.
Before long, the photos were taken in pairs and frozen in time.
Qiao Sang's gaze swept across the photos on the screen one by one, and she quickly found her own name at the bottom:
[Josang vs. Gaston]
Related information quickly flashed through her mind:
Gaston, 56 years old, a student in the Royal Class at Royal London University, owns four Royal-level pet beasts...
After confirming the information, Qiao Sang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
To be honest, her original idea was to appear in the last two days of this round of competition, when Tingbao would have finished molting and she could use her cheat code to add the remaining points and let it evolve.
Ideally, I'd like to encounter a player with a general-level pet in this round, so I can send Tingbao out to battle.
After all, there aren't many players left. If we don't meet them in this round, the chances of meeting them in the next round will definitely be even smaller.
According to the information, apart from the four royal-level pets, Gaston's remaining two are king-level pets...
"Who is your opponent?" Michaela asked leisurely, sipping his drink.
“Gaston,” Josan replied.
Michaela pondered for a moment and said, "A student from the Royal Class... Speaking of which, you were also an exchange student at Royal London before, do you know him?"
“How could I possibly know him?” Qiao Sang laughed. “I used to be a student in a regular class. I didn’t even know where the Royal Class was.”
Michaela laughed as well: "Trying to treat you as an ordinary student was truly the biggest mistake of the Royal Union. I think Gilbert must be having a tough time lately."
Clearly, she also knew that Gilbert had rejected Josan's application for admission without examination.
Dean Gilbert? Josan paused, then asked, "Why?"
Michaela smiled slightly but did not speak.
...
at the same time.
Another VIP room.
The red-haired man, dressed in all black with slightly pale skin, saw the match list and immediately put down his crossed legs, his face turning ugly.
The middle-aged man with slicked-back hair next to him patted him on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
The middle-aged man took out his phone, saw the caller ID, and his expression immediately became respectful. He got up, went to the window, and answered the call.
“Hey, Dean… Okay, okay, I’ll talk to Gaston… We’ll do our best… But as you know, Josan’s strength shouldn’t be underestimated; she’s a strong contender for the Master Challenge title… Okay, I understand…”
The middle-aged man hung up the phone with a serious expression.
"What did the dean say?" Gaston asked.
The middle-aged man looked at him and said, "The dean said you can just tell me what resources you need, as long as we can win this game."
“Both of Yan’s students lost to her without a goal, how can I possibly win?” Gaston said, then his tone became dissatisfied as he thought of something. “Speaking of which, if Dean Gilbert hadn’t rejected her application for admission, Josan would be one of us at Yulianton now.”
"How dare you talk to the dean like that?" the middle-aged man rebuked instinctively.
However, after he finished reprimanding her, he paused and continued, "The dean did indeed do something wrong, but what's done is done and can't be changed. Now she's a student of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy and our opponent, so you have to find a way to defeat her."
Gaston scoffed, "You tell me how to win."
The middle-aged man fell silent.
At this moment, the host announced loudly from the commentary booth: "All the match lists for this round have been released! Next, let's see the schedule for each match! Who will take the stage today and become the first player to advance to the top ten!"
The two of them looked at the television at the same time.
The match times will appear one by one after the match list.
Gaston paused for two seconds, then asked, "If I ask the dean for resources now, will he be able to give them to me?"
"Definitely," the middle-aged man said.
"If I take the resources but still don't win the game, the dean shouldn't do anything to me, right?" Gaston asked again.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you don't get shut out like those two from Yantian University, I believe the dean won't do anything to you."
Gaston laughed: "Taking this opportunity to strengthen our position seems like a good idea."
...
The competition is in two days... Qiao Sang looked at the dates on the roster and started to think.
Including today, there are still three days of rest. By then, Tingbao will definitely have finished molting, and it's time to properly prepare for Tingbao's evolution...
"Searching..."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Little Treasure Hunter looked disappointed.
Not today...
"Teeth?"
Ya Bao couldn't understand, and impatiently shouted, "When are we going to have a match?"
"The night after tomorrow," Qiao Sang said.
"Teeth..."
Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... Ya Bao counted them and sighed.
It will take several more days...
"Do you want to stay and watch the game, or go back to training?" Michaela asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Since we're already here, let's stay and watch the game for a while."
Michaela didn't object, saying, "Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll ask the waiter..."
Before he could finish speaking, a noise suddenly came from the side.
Michaela turned her head and saw that Tingbao had woken up at some point and was wriggling its body to shed its skin.
Qiao Sang also saw this scene, and her eyes lit up immediately. She came to Ting Bao's side.
“I’ll call Jacqueline over,” Michaela said immediately, realizing what was happening.
After saying that, he took out his phone.
In about a minute, Penjami appeared indoors with Jacqueline.
Two minutes later, Tingbao had officially finished molting.
It glanced around, then its gaze fell on its own beast tamer, a happy expression spreading across its face, and it barked:
"Tingting!"
Qiao Sang smiled and patted its head: "Congratulations on taking another step closer to evolution."
"Tingting".
Tingbao nuzzled its head against its master's hand.
It seems Tingbao is in a good mood after shedding its skin... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
At this moment, Michael spoke:
"Jacqueline, check on Lei Nilong."
Almost as soon as Michaela spoke, Tingbao's happy expression vanished, and he stopped rubbing his head. He turned to look at Michaela with an expression that seemed to say: "You think I'll check if you want me to?"
Qiao Sang understood the meaning behind Ting Bao's expression. She thought to herself, "Why does Ting Bao seem even more annoyed with Michaela after shedding his skin?" She pretended not to notice anything, lifted Ting Bao up in front of Teacher Jacqueline, and said, "Let the teacher check him out."
"Tingting..."
Tingbao cooperated and did not move.
Jacqueline turned on her personal device and quickly began the examination.
Time passed little by little.
The match was already underway, and the stands were buzzing with excitement, erupting with screams and cheers every now and then, but it did nothing to affect the indoor atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Jacqueline put down the equipment and said, "There are no problems with my body. The molting is going smoothly. However, just like before, it is not advisable to start training and fighting immediately. I need to adapt for a while."
"How long will it take to get used to it?" Qiao Sang asked.
“Looking at Thunder Dragon itself, most dragon-type pets take about three days to reach the advanced stage,” Jacqueline said.
"Xunxun~" Little Xunbao called out, indicating that it was time for our competition.
Tingbao's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again as if he had thought of something.
"Should we go back now and check if Thunder Reverse Dragon's Thunder Devour ability proficiency has improved?" Michaela asked.
Without hesitation, Qiao Sang said, "Let's wait until my match is officially over before checking. Tingbao has just molted. If we don't control it properly when checking its lightning-swallowing ability, it might get injured."
This is just an excuse, of course. The truth is that although Tingbao's proficiency with the Thunder Swallowing ability has increased, it is still only at the B level. As for abilities, unless the level is increased, there is no obvious change that can be detected. Checking is a waste of time.
Upon hearing this, Michaela looked at Penjami and said, "Then you should take Jacqueline back first."
"Use and throw away, huh..." Jacqueline quickly tidied up the equipment, picked it up, and smiled, "I'll head back now. Contact me anytime if you have any problems..."
Before she could finish speaking, Penjami's eyes glowed blue, and she vanished from the spot with him.
"At least let Ms. Jacqueline finish what she has to say..." Qiao thought to herself.
...
12:10 PM.
villa.
"Looking around~"
After finishing his meal, Xiao Xunbao floated around Tingbao for a while, and after observing him for a while, he exclaimed with emotion, "Sixth Brother, why do you seem to have grown bigger again?"
Previously, Tingbao had the miniature shrinking bracelet on, so he couldn't notice anything. But just now, Tingbao turned off the miniature shrinking bracelet, and he could clearly feel that its size had changed.
If it was about five meters before, it now feels like it's at least seven meters.
"Tingting".
Tingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao and called out, indicating that he also felt that Xiaoxunbao had shrunk.
Little Treasure Hunter: "..."
"Clear! Clear! Clear!"
Qingbao, standing to the side, clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
Tingbao turned to look at it and called out:
"Tingting".
Fifth brother, you've gotten smaller too.
Qingbao's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Search, search, search!"
Little Treasure Hunter pointed at Qingbao and burst into laughter.
Qingbao looked at Xiaoxunbao expressionlessly, while a strong wind suddenly arose around her.
Little Treasure Hunter quickly covered his mouth.
Qingbao snorted coldly, her expression still displeased, but the surrounding gale had stopped.
The eldest brother is strong, but he's a bit timid... Tingbao glanced at his own beast tamer who was still eating, thought of something, and flew towards the full-length mirror.
Has it gotten bigger...?
At the dining table, Michaela ate her food while asking:
"Do you still want to go to the game this afternoon?"
“I’m not going.” Jossan took a sip of soup and said, “I want to study Gaston properly.”
Michaela laughed and said, "Indeed, although he is no match for you, you can't be so sure of anyone's victory. The Royal Alliance definitely wants him to win against you, and they might give him a lot of resources in the next few days."
“Resources are resources, but they still need to be digested and absorbed,” Qiao Sang said. “Three days shouldn’t be enough to strengthen a royal-level pet. I’ll prepare the plan based on the information I found before.”
After saying that, she thought of something and asked, "Besides saying that I would still get 100,000 points even though I didn't get into the top three, did the dean say anything else?"
Michaela chuckled and asked, "What do you want?"
Qiao Sang quickly tried to prove her innocence: "I didn't want anything, I was just asking."
Michaela smiled and said, "Whatever you want, as long as it's not too outrageous, I believe the Dean will grant it to you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she instantly perked up: "If I don't win the championship this time, can the dean give me a Sun Crystal?"
Despite her recent significant improvement in strength, she cannot say that she has a 100% chance of winning the championship.
Her original plan to obtain the Sun Crystal was to cultivate good relationships with strong contenders for the championship so that she could make a deal later. However, once she started training, she forgot about it. When the competition finally came, she didn't have much of a chance to meet Lefebvre and Serana.
The competition is now in its fifth round, and she still hasn't gotten their contact information.
If there were another way to obtain solar crystals, that would be the best outcome.
There's no need to trouble the Dean about the Sun Crystal... Michaela thought to himself, "I'll bring it up with the Dean after you're eliminated."
“…Can’t you say it now?” Qiao Sang said.
As Michaela picked up some food, she said, "The Dean has high hopes for you now. If we mention this, it might lower her impression of you."
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Does the dean really think I can win the championship?"
Michaela said calmly, "You even shut out Xia Huo, who has five royal-level pet beasts. It's normal for the dean to think highly of you."
Qiao Sang was speechless, but found it made some sense.
Michaela continued, "Prepare well for the competition. If you really win the championship, I believe the Dean's reward will be more than just 200,000 points and a pet with a maximum level of Venerable."
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up again. She quickly finished the rest of her rice and stood up, saying:
"I'm going to train now!"
After saying that, he turned around and called out, "Little Treasure Hunter, take everyone to training."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure's eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with its Beastmaster and Ya Bao.
Michael smiled and gave Pengame a look.
Penjami's eyes glowed blue as she followed.
...
A desert land devoid of greenery.
Qiao Sang found a spot where he wouldn't be affected, sat down cross-legged, took out his phone, and posted a task to find a pet beast that could generate tens of millions of volts.
Tingbao is already at the advanced late stage. As long as I add the remaining points, it can evolve.
According to statistics, the Little Dragon race can evolve to a higher level without much difficulty if resources are available, but their numbers will decrease sharply when they reach the General level. This is not because of insufficient resources, but because the evolution conditions are too harsh for a high-level pet.
That means enduring an attack of tens of millions of volts.
Ten million volts, an electric-type super-tier skill. Almost no pet can withstand super-tier skills at the advanced stage, especially an offensive super-tier skill. (End of Chapter)
