Chapter 1066

What skill is this... Qiao Sang didn't react for a moment.

"Ting-ting!"

The Little Thunder Dragon widened its eyes again.

Qiao Sang looked at its sharp gaze and fell into deep thought.

"Ting-ting."

The Little Thunder Dragon's gaze and expression returned to their usual state, and it called out, indicating it had finished casting the skill.

Qiao Sang fell silent for two seconds, then turned her head to scan the surroundings.

Soon, her gaze fell on a green Bug-type pet beast moving about a hundred meters away.

On Flame Star, there are many wild pet beasts, and occasionally wild pet beasts stray into other people's residences; it's truly a normal phenomenon, especially for houses like villas that have open-air training fields and gardens.

"Catch it and bring it over," Qiao Sang said.

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter called out.

The next second, the green Bug-type pet beast that was moving about was controlled by a force and flew over quickly, landing in front of the Little Thunder Dragon.

"Ren-ren!"

The green Bug-type pet beast called out with a panicked expression, indicating it had just gotten lost.

Qiao Sang didn't understand what it meant and said: "Don't be afraid, I just want you to help identify a skill."

Patience Bug, an entry-level Bug-type pet beast, very good at enduring; it can endure staying in no matter how dirty or smelly a place is.

"Ren-ren." The Patience Bug finished listening, calmed down, and nodded.

It was willing to help with this small favor.

"Use the skill you just cast last on the Patience Bug again," Qiao Sang said.

"Ting-ting!"

The Little Thunder Dragon nodded, then looked at the Patience Bug, widened its eyes, and revealed a sharp gaze.

"Ren-ren..."

A strong sense of fear inexplicably rose from the bottom of the Patience Bug's heart.

About three seconds later, it turned its head and ran, without the slightest hesitation.

The Little Thunder Dragon returned to its usual expression and gaze.

"Xun-xun?"

The Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating, should I chase it?

"No need," Qiao Sang smiled: "I already know what skill Ting-bao cast."

Leer, an entry-level Normal-type skill; uses a sharp gaze to make the opponent afraid, thereby lowering the opponent's defense.

The Little Thunder Dragon is still an entry-level pet beast now; the power of casting this skill is equivalent to nothing for her and Like Ya Bao and the others, but for the Patience Bug, which is also an entry-level pet beast, the power is extraordinary.

"Ting-ting?"

The Little Thunder Dragon called out with a confused tone.

Qiao Sang inexplicably read its meaning and said: "It's Leer; it can make the opponent afraid and lower their defense."

The Little Thunder Dragon revealed an "Oh, so that's what it is" expression.

For skills like this that aren't learned by oneself but are known from birth, or awakened through evolution, the pet beast has an impression of how to cast them in its brain, but to know specifically what they are, one has to give an answer through successfully releasing them.

Now that the Little Thunder Dragon hasn't contracted with her yet, it's impossible to steadily increase proficiency by releasing skills with her. If it wants to increase the win rate of battles, then only... Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and asked:

"Are there any other skills?"

"Ting-ting." The Little Thunder Dragon shook its head.

"Then what you need to do now is to be able to successfully cast Dragon Tail every time," Qiao Sang formulated a training goal: "Right now, this is the only skill you can't release with 100% success, and this variable is very large in battle. You have to practice this skill constantly. If you have no energy, drink energy recovery liquid. When you can successfully release Dragon Tail every time, we'll proceed to other training."

"Ting-ting."

The Little Thunder Dragon nodded, then looked around, as if searching for something.

"What are you looking for?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Ting-ting."

The Little Thunder Dragon called out, indicating it wanted to find the Boss to get the drink that recovers energy.

"Xun-xun!"

Before Qiao Sang could speak, the Little Treasure Hunter hurriedly appeared and called out enthusiastically.

The Boss will get you the energy recovery liquid right now!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Next day, early morning.

9:05 AM.

Room.

"Why aren't you going to the open-air training field to train?" Qiao Sang asked while opening the computer, looking at the Little Treasure Hunter that was drilling in and out of black holes.

"Xun-xun..."

The Little Treasure Hunter called out with a tired heart, indicating that the Hate Transfer time hadn't passed yet; just now, Big Brother Like Ya Bao bared its teeth at it when it saw it.

I didn't expect the effect to last so long... Qiao Sang was a bit surprised, but ultimately said nothing, first getting down to business, searching for the official website of the Contract Chemistry Competition to sign up.

After submitting her registration, she roughly looked at the registration conditions and precautions, as well as the time and specific location of the competition.

【There is no limit to the Beast Tamer's level, no limit to the pet beast's level; as long as the Beast Tamer and wild pet beast forming the team haven't contracted, it's fine.】

What? No limit to the pet beast's level?

When she saw this content, Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and walked out of the room quickly to find Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala.

Not long after, she saw Teacher Mi Mi Jiala meditating cross-legged outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Qiao Sang came to the open-air training field and got straight to the point:

"Teacher, besides there being no limit to the Beast Tamer's level for this competition, there's also no limit to the pet beast's level. Won't I encounter those General-tier or King-tier pet beasts?"

"No," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said while meditating. "Wild pet beasts on Flame Star that reach the General-tier and King-tier level basically have their own exclusive duties to perform and rarely look for Beast Tamers to contract with. In this kind of competition, the most you'll encounter are teammates who have formed teams with Advanced-tier pet beasts."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala added: "But this possibility is also small; most opponents are still entry-level and intermediate-level pet beasts."

Alright, let alone the champion, it seems the runner-up and second runner-up are also gone... Qiao Sang's fighting spirit greatly diminished.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala seemed to realize Qiao Sang's thoughts, opened her eyes, looked over, and said:

"Participating in this kind of competition is to see how the chemistry is with the pet beast, or to cultivate chemistry with the pet beast, and to see if you get along with the pet beast; winning or losing isn't important."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang" not far away.

Qiao Sang looked toward the sound, only to see the Little Thunder Dragon's tail condense silver-white light and strike the ground fiercely.

"I understand," Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and said.

For a professional Beast Tamer, it doesn't matter how many times you lose in private, as long as you can win in the most important competition.

Qiao Sang turned around, preparing to return to the room to meditate.

The Little Thunder Dragon is working so hard, I should also put in more effort and develop a new Beast Taming page sooner.

Just as she walked into the hall, a gust of wind drifted over, transformed into Qing-bao, and called out with a serious expression:

"Qing-qing."

The competition it signs up for shouldn't be like this; it should be more formal, and it would be best if all opponents were of the same level.

I didn't expect Qing-bao to care about this... Qiao Sang looked at Qing-bao with amusement and said:

"If there is a competition like that, I'll sign up."

"Qing-qing."

Qing-bao felt relieved and transformed into wind to return to the open-air field to train.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang turned the direction of her legs and walked toward the door.

Opening the door, she found no one there, only a familiar stench rushing into her nasal cavity.

She looked down.

A familiar bouquet of flowers lay by the door.

Why is Mei-Mei Chou Ni still giving me flowers... Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, bent down to pick up the flowers, and walked into the room.

Time passed.

Two days later.

Qiao Sang got up early, washed up simply, ate breakfast with Like Ya Bao and the others, then put on the backpack containing Lu-bao and Ting-bao, held Like Ya Bao, and went with Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala to wait for a passing taxi or a rental mount pet beast outside the residential area.

The streets of Flame Star are full of scenes of humans and wild pet beasts getting along, as well as some unique architecture; it's very interesting to watch along the way. She didn't want to have the Little Treasure Hunter directly locate and move through space to miss these, and besides, the experience of riding the Shoulder Ape King when she first came to Flame Star was quite good.

Although there are many wild pet beasts, not all wild pet beasts are suitable for riding as a means of transportation. Taxis are much cheaper than riding rental mount pet beasts, so transportation tools like taxis are still retained.

After waiting for about ten seconds or so, she didn't see a rental mount pet beast, but a taxi passed by the entrance first.

Qiao Sang hailed it, and the taxi stopped.

"Are you going to the Mu League Stadium?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Yes," the driver uncle said very definitely.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang pulled open the car door.

She saw a pet beast sitting in the back row, about 20 centimeters in size, looking fragrant and soft, with a body that was mostly white, looking like cotton.

It's actually carpooling... Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment and didn't get in the car immediately.

Seeing this, the driver uncle said:

"You are all going to the same place."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang sat in.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala glanced at the cotton-like pet beast in the back row and chose to sit in the front passenger seat.

The driver uncle was a man of few words and didn't talk much.

Cotton Seed, an entry-level Grass-type pet beast, its body is extremely light and easily blown away by the wind... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast beside her without a trace, and relevant data flashed through her mind.

"Xun-xun..."

The Little Treasure Hunter couldn't help but appear and poked the soft body of the Cotton Seed.

The Cotton Seed looked over, then its mouth drooped, and it suddenly started crying loudly:

"Mian-mian!"

"Mian-mian!"

"Xun-xun..." The Little Treasure Hunter was at a loss.

The driver uncle saw the scene just now through the rearview mirror and said:

"Passengers in the back row, please be careful and don't touch other passengers."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

"Xun-xun..."

The Little Treasure Hunter started making all kinds of funny faces at the Cotton Seed.

"Mian-mian."

Finally, under the various funny faces, the Cotton Seed stopped crying and revealed a smiling face.

"Xun-xun..."

The Little Treasure Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mian-mian?"

The Cotton Seed looked at Qiao Sang, then looked at the Little Treasure Hunter, and called out.

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter shook its head, revealing its white identity bracelet.

"Mian-mian?"

The Cotton Seed called out in confusion again.

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter nodded.

The two of them talked happily.

Amidst the casual chatter, the taxi arrived at the destination.

Qiao Sang paid the money and walked out of the car with Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala.

The Cotton Seed did the same.

After waving its claws at the Little Treasure Hunter, it turned and left.

Qiao Sang looked around.

The crowd outside the entire stadium was surging, with a feeling that humans and pet beasts each occupied half.

Most pet beasts were not large in size and were not wearing micro-shrinking bracelets; only a very small number were wearing them.

Most of the people looked very young, and some even carried schoolbags, looking like high school students.

Qiao Sang scanned the area roughly and had some idea about the group paying attention to this competition.

If there were no accidents, she might be the Beast Tamer with the highest level among the contestants...

"Ting-ting."

The Little Thunder Dragon crawled out of the backpack and also looked around.

Seeing some pet beasts looking at its Beast Tamer, the Little Thunder Dragon's face darkened, and it crawled up to hang around Qiao Sang's neck, declaring its existence.

There were even more gazes looking over from the surroundings.

Although humans and wild pet beasts live together on Flame Star, the number of Dragon-type pet beasts that can be seen on the street is still terrifyingly small.

Seeing a wild Dragon-type pet beast sticking to a human like this, Qiao Sang instantly added a halo of "being rich" in the eyes of passersby and wild pet beasts.

It is well known that the most important point for a wild Dragon-type pet beast to find a contracting target is whether they can afford to raise it.

If you are gifted but have no money, it simply won't work.

"Ting-ting..."

Seeing the gazes increase, yellow electric arcs appeared on the Little Thunder Dragon's body.

Qiao Sang pressed down her ponytail, which was slowly standing up, and instructed: "Don't release electricity."

"Ting-ting..."

The electric arcs on the Little Thunder Dragon's body vanished.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala glanced at it.

At this moment, an interviewing reporter walked over and asked Qiao Sang:

"Hello, may I ask if you are a contestant?"

Qiao Sang said "Mm."

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter appeared and waved its claws enthusiastically at the camera.

Seeing another pet beast appear that she had never seen before, the reporter's eyes lit up and she asked:

"Are you also going to participate in this competition?"

As she spoke, she handed the microphone to the Little Treasure Hunter.

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter shook its head, revealing its claws wearing the white identity bracelet.

"That's truly a pity," the reporter said with a look of regret.

Immediately after, she looked at Qiao Sang and asked:

"May I ask which pet beast is going to compete with you this time?"

"It's this one."

Qiao Sang pointed to the Little Thunder Dragon hanging around her neck.

The reporter's eyes lit up again and she asked: "May I ask if you have confidence in winning this competition?"

After asking, she handed the microphone to the Little Thunder Dragon.

The Little Thunder Dragon glanced at her, turned its head to the side, and disdained to answer.

Qiao Sang just wanted to answer for the Little Thunder Dragon.

The reporter, however, looked as if she wasn't surprised at all, took back the microphone, and said to the camera:

"It seems this Dragon-type contestant is very confident in its own strength; its gaze told me that it disdains to even mention its opponents in the competition."

Qiao Sang: "..."

What kind of reporter is this...

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala gave a look toward the entrance and walked in that direction.

Qiao Sang hurriedly followed, holding Like Ya Bao.

After checking her contestant identity, a pet beast in uniform to the side made a "please" gesture.

"Teacher, I'll go over first," Qiao Sang said.

The Contract Chemistry Competition has few registration restrictions, and many people and wild pet beasts sign up; many people and pet beasts also pay attention to it, so it has developed into a somewhat popular competition program, held once a month, and broadcast simultaneously on a certain TV channel.

The competition rules also developed in the direction of a fast pace.

All preliminary contestants compete in the same venue during the pre-selection stage.

The venue will of course be divided into many blocks, and only for Beast Tamers and pet beasts with eye-catching performances will the camera be given to them.

Qiao Sang had roughly understood the rules and pace of this competition in the past two days; as soon as she went in, she would be taken to the venue to wait for the start of the competition under the camera and couldn't go to the spectator area with Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was no stranger to the pace of this competition and nodded:

"Okay."
