All eyes were focused on the game.

The first contestant to become the champion was a black-haired girl wearing the Jingzhou University team uniform.

After she stood in the champion's position, she took out a folding chair that was easy to carry from behind her, as if she was going to sit down there directly.

The arena was immediately boiling with excitement. Being the first to come on stage and become the champion was already a sign of absolute confidence, and her action of taking out a folding chair now further announced to all the contestants that she was ready to stay in the champion position for a long time.

The player who dared to do this in the national competition would not be an unknown person. Many people in the audience had recognized Mu Chuyue and started discussing in a low voice with those around them.

In the backstage of the competition venue, the contestants who gathered to participate in the ring competition were also discussing.

"Who is that girl? Is she so arrogant?"

"...I'm afraid you haven't watched a game for a long time. This year's supernova Mu Shuyue from Kyoto University can be said to be one of the most watched players in the country."

"Supernova, a freshman?!"

“No wonder some people don’t recognize him.”

"I seem to have some impression... the seeded players in the high school competition preliminaries, right?"

"I've heard from my freshman classmates that one of the Death Signs that we least want to encounter is the Dark Night Demon King."

"Come to think of it, isn't she the beastmaster who bred the new evolution of the Little Cloud Dog, the advanced monarch race [Frost Night Fighting Wolf]?"

"You have the fighting power of a high-level monarch race in your freshman year. No wonder you dare to be the champion in the national competition."

"High monarch race? That's outdated news. I didn't expect that the Frost Night Fighting Wolf is already an old version from last semester."

The person who spoke was one of the few contestants from the fighting club present.

Mu Shuyue was the only one from Jingzhou University participating in the competition, so there were no other Jingzhou University teammates who knew her behind the scenes.

The one who was speaking was one of the few beastmasters present who had actually fought with her.

"Her main force now is the Nightmare Knights of the advanced imperial race."

After the club's beastmaster finished speaking, he felt the surprised looks from others and the sounds of people gasping for air all around him, and he felt much more balanced.

Are you surprised? Just be surprised! When he first met Mu Huoyue, he was also surprised, and was one of the people who was later beaten to a pulp.

After all, he was one of the highly-anticipated potential seed players of the famous [Star Battle Club]. He never expected that on the eve of the national competition, a random job of practicing with freshman battle students would become the beginning of his nightmare for more than a month.

From the monarch race to the emperor race, from the growth period to the mature period, he has fought with Mu Liuyue countless times in more than a month, and has never won a single battle.

In the end, the girl even said that she was too familiar with his fighting style and hoped that the club could have a few more sparring partners.

Listen, is this human language? His strength was already close to that of a master beastmaster, and he only lacked the ability to advance his pet to the complete form. He did not expect to suffer a setback at the hands of a freshman from the combat department.

"The pet of the imperial race..." Some contestants murmured to themselves, finding it increasingly unbelievable.

Some people also said angrily: "Don't you guys watch any news at all?"

"Earlier, at the international academic exchange conference at Sinju University, even the Abyss Water Messenger showed up, which was a sensation."

"The speaker who announced the [Miracle Potential Fruit] project and demonstrated [Nightmare Knight] was none other than Mu Shuyue."

The contestants around were more and more shocked. After not attending the national competition for a year, such a terrifying super newcomer appeared?

Everyone looked at the black-haired girl wearing the Kyoto University uniform on the stage.

No wonder Jingzhou University dared to let her participate in the competition alone...

On the ring, Mu Huoyue placed the folding chair behind him and stretched his body a little.

This chair is an N-level item drawn from the game card pool. Compared with an ordinary folding chair, it probably has one more function, which is that it can be taken back into the beast taming space. It is just the right thing to use at this time.

Defending the ring is a long process, and she doesn't want to stand on the ring for a whole day.

All the contestants seemed to be waiting and watching. The host of the competition briefly introduced Mu Chuyue's background in the competition. The referee also arrived and took his position, indicating that Mu Chuyue could send out his contracted pet first.

A summoning array with six layers of imperial patterns appeared in front of the black-haired girl.

While many viewers were amazed that she had reached level 6 Beast Tamer at such a young age, the contestants backstage were more concerned about the pet she was going to send out.

I wonder if Mu Huoyue’s first pet to appear will be the Frost Night Wolf from the monarch race, or the Nightmare Knight from the emperor race?

The light of the summoning circle faded, and what appeared on the battlefield was a bird that looked like a small fluffy ball with gorgeous dark purple feathers.

Everyone in the audience who was eagerly waiting couldn't help but look at him with doubts: "......?"

Many viewers took out their pet animal encyclopedias, but the regular encyclopedias used by the public could not detect any information about this extraordinary creature.

All we can see is that its normal hidden energy value is about 40,000P, so it should be a mid-level pet in its growth stage.

Some viewers who are more familiar with bird pets also found that the appearance of this little bird is somewhat similar to the Cinder Sparrow, a high-level warrior race that is a descendant of the Sun Phoenix.

It's like a Cinder Sparrow with dark attributes added.

The sparks swirling around it also indicate that this extraordinary creature possesses the same fire attribute as the Cinder Sparrow.

There were constant discussions coming from the audience, and no one expected that the pet that Mu Liuyue would use as the vanguard would be a completely unknown strange pet.

However, judging from its appearance, attributes, and normal hidden energy value, this should be the pet she had just contracted not long ago, and it is far inferior to the Frost Night Wolf and Nightmare Knight in strength.

It is speculated that it is a pet of a high-level warrior race in the growth stage. It may be barely enough for the combat department of an ordinary university, but it seems a little inadequate on a stage like the national competition.

But after all, she is a contestant who has used courage to become the first champion, and the audience is still very much looking forward to what kind of battle she will bring.

On the battlefield, the Ghost-winged Bird flapped its wings and let out a menacing cry.

“Chirp!”

The first chance to play was to play three rounds of rock-paper-scissors with the seniors, and it was not easy to get it. Chaoxi couldn't wait to win the first victory for himself and the Beast Tamer in the official competition!

Mu Huoyue couldn't help but smile. She also saw the finger-guessing competition in the Beast Taming Space to decide the order of appearance.

When little Chaoxi stood still, he was like a round [fist], and when he spread his wings, he was like [scissors], he never moved [cloth] at all.

Both Ellen and Harvey saw that the little guy was eager to try, so they deliberately gave it the first chance to appear.

As for White Fang...

Mu Chuyue sensed the Frost Night Fighting Wolf that was howling with regret in the Beast Taming Space at this moment. It was the only one that failed to score against Chaoxi in the rock-paper-scissors game.

She looked up at the right bank of the battlefield, waiting for the first challenger to arrive.

After a commotion in the audience and backstage, a young man wearing the Yunzhou University team uniform came forward.

Mu Huoyue raised her eyebrows. The first challenger happened to be someone she knew.

He is the Red-bellied Turtle Tamer, Xu Chenglu from Yunzhou.

His red-bellied turtle had evolved into a flame tortoise of the monarch race during the [College Battle Qualifying Tournament].

Xu Chenglu walked onto the stage and took a deep breath to calm his heart which was about to jump out of his chest.

He also didn't expect to face Mu Huiyue so early in the national competition.

Originally, he entered the competition with the mentality of broadening his horizons. After all, the main players of Yunzhou University were all in the team competition. But the current situation happened to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

He already knew Mu Liuyue from the national qualifying competition in high school. Compared to those shocked contestants backstage, Xu Chenglu knew better how terrifying this beastmaster who was the same age as him was.

If Mu Chuyue sent out any of her main forces, Xu Chenglu was very aware that he was no match for her.

But the pet that led the charge was an extraordinary creature like a bird with normal hidden energy value in its growth period, which was of the dark and fire types.

Judging from the very similar Cinder Sparrow, Xu Chenglu's Fire Tortoise has an absolute advantage.

The Fire Tortoise's super defensive ability is perfect for dealing with bird pets that are more aggressive. Coupled with the characteristics brought by the skill [Flame Absorption Reaction], it can be immune to almost all fire energy skills.

Faced with a fire-type pet whose normal hidden energy value and racial level were inferior to his own, Xu Chenglu could not imagine a scenario in which the Flame Tortoise could lose.

Therefore, this is his only chance to defeat Mu Huiyue!

Xu Chenglu walked to the right bank of the arena, and a summoning array with five layers of imperial patterns appeared in front of him.

Under the layers of fiery red light, a tall fire tortoise appeared on the battlefield, with its slender head raised, creating a circle of wind pressure that was visible to the naked eye.

After entering the mature stage, the pressure of the monarch race can be released without reservation.

After confirming that both sides were in position, the referee stepped forward and announced: "Next, the defense match between Mu Shuyue from Jingzhou University and Xu Chenglu from Yunzhou University will begin."

"Each side can only use one pet. The match ends when one side loses the ability to fight."

"Then, let the battle begin!"

"Fire Tortoise, use intimidation!" Xu Chenglu took the lead in launching the attack.

When facing an opponent whose racial level and growth stage are lower than yours, the [Deterrence] skill is the most suitable opening method!

The wind and clouds on the battlefield were stirring, and a circle of fierce energy fluctuations spread out with the Fire Tortoise as the center, blowing the scattered flames away.

It seemed that the little bird in front of Mu Chuyue was about to be blown away like a flame by the strong pressure of [Deterrence], which made the audience on the scene break into cold sweats.

Mu Shuyue was unmoved and issued an order slowly: "Fight back, Chaoxi."

The ghost-winged bird raised its wings and flapped them vigorously a few times.

The power of such a small furry chick flapping its wings can be completely ignored in front of the [Deterrence] of the monarch race. It didn't even use any extraordinary skills, it was really just making the [waving] motion.

However, with the bird's inconspicuous movement, the energy fluctuations that were pressing hard towards the left bank of the battlefield miraculously stopped.

The location of the Ghost-Winged Bird was like a solid watershed, making it difficult for the Fire Tortoise's [deterrence] power to advance even a little bit.
