Chapter 1067

~14 min read 2,713 words

Qiao Sang followed the direction indicated by the staff to the corresponding venue and stood still, with quite a few cameras set up nearby.

At this time, quite a few contestants were already standing on the venue, and more than half of the people in the spectator area were already seated.

Just as Qiao Sang was looking around, the gazes of the contestants nearby looked over in unison.

On Flame Star, everyone lives with wild pet beasts, and even if they don't know all the pet beasts, they roughly understand seven or eight out of ten, but this was the first time they had seen so many unfamiliar pet beasts gathered together.

And these pet beasts all looked like they weren't simple.

Some contestants took out pet beast identifiers, set them to mute, and secretly aimed them over, but the answers given were all "Sorry, no data, unable to identify."

For a time, a layer of mysterious halo instantly added to Qiao Sang in the eyes of everyone.

A brown-haired girl who looked about 15 years old in the battle area nearby finally couldn't endure the curiosity in her heart, leaned over, and struck up a conversation:

"Hello, my name is Galina, what about you?"

Qiao Sang looked over: "Qiao Sang."

"That's a name that's easy to remember," Galina praised, then asked a question she already knew the answer to: "Are these pet beasts all from your family?"

In her view, Qiao Sang's age was only a year or two older than hers. Excluding the Dragon-type pet beast wearing a black identity bracelet around her neck, there was a Fire-type pet beast in her arms, another pet beast that looked to be in her backpack, plus the purple Steel-type bird pet beast on the side; there were three contracted pet beasts in total. No matter how she thought about it, it shouldn't be the girl in front of her who looked only a year or two older than her.

After all, the prerequisite for contracting three pet beasts is 20% brain domain, and the other party also brought a wild Dragon-type pet beast to compete, which was clearly wanting to contract after the competition.

That would require 30% brain domain.

How could a girl who looked like she was still a high school student like her reach 30% brain domain? These pet beasts clearly belonged to her family.

"They are mine," Qiao Sang said.

Galina was stunned for a moment, pretended to be impressed, and asked:

"Can you tell me what they are called? My pet beast identifier can't identify them."

"If you use the interstellar version of the pet beast identifier, you should be able to identify them," Qiao Sang said calmly. "Because they are not pet beasts from Flame Star."

Galina was dumbfounded, then thought of something and exclaimed:

"Are you an alien?"

You're the alien... Qiao Sang smiled: "I'm from Blue Star."

Galina looked at Like Ya Bao and the others and said excitedly: "So they are all pet beasts from Blue Star?"

"Except for Steel Chief Kane, the others are," Qiao Sang answered.

"Gang-qiu."

Gangbao called out politely, indicating it was Steel Chief Kane.

"Then what planet is it from?" Galina asked curiously.

"Super Star," Qiao Sang said.

Hearing this, Galina suddenly felt that the level of this competition had risen a lot; there was actually an alien from another planet who brought pet beasts from another planet to compete.

You have to know, she hadn't even stepped out of her own country yet.

Her enthusiasm soared, and she asked several questions in a row.

Qiao Sang answered them all patiently.

Suddenly, the pet beast beside Galina, which looked about 30 centimeters in size, was mostly blue, looked like a water pot, and was wearing a black identity bracelet, called out:

"Jing-jing."

Galina immediately revealed an apologetic expression and said:

"Sorry, I'll prepare for the competition first."

As she spoke, she squatted down and started communicating in a low voice with the pet beast that looked like a water pot.

Qiao Sang had excellent hearing and clearly heard the other party saying:

"Don't be anxious, the competition will start in a bit. Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to win in the preliminaries... I was just probing the enemy's situation; the pet beast competing with us is a Dragon-type pet beast, as long as we don't run into her... I know there are intermediate-level pet beasts... as long as we don't run into that Dragon-type pet beast and those intermediate-level pet beasts, we'll definitely be able to win in the preliminaries..."

They haven't even contracted, and they can communicate so smoothly without a pet beast translating on the side. It seems they really have cultivated a certain chemistry... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Ting-ting?"

The Little Thunder Dragon watched the humans and pet beasts communicating around it, as well as some pet beasts warming up, jumped down from its Beast Tamer, looked over, and called out.

"Gang-qiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind.

It said, is there anything you want to say?

Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment and said: "Don't be nervous, just follow what we trained in the past two days."

Without the golden finger, the Little Thunder Dragon's training progress was obviously not as fast as Like Ya Bao and the others. Even though it had been training hard for the past two days, Dragon Tail hadn't reached the point where it could be released 100% of the time, but the probability of releasing it was much larger than before the training, about a 50% chance.

Under these circumstances, it was very difficult to use Dragon Tail as a trump card.

Imagine, in a battle, the opponent's pet beast casts a big move, you say "Dragon Tail," the Little Thunder Dragon swings its tail to meet it head-on, then the move isn't cast, it gets finished off by the opponent in one move, flies backward, and loses all face. This possibility is close to half; the probability is too high.

It's better to lower expectations a bit.

"Ting-ting."

Little Ting-bao called out with a serious expression, then swung its tail against the ground, warming up the power in its tail.

"Ya-ya..."

Like Ya Bao, which had been a bit excited when it first arrived at the battle venue, looked at the small pet beasts around it and lost all interest.

Qing-bao transformed into wind and drifted around in various areas of the venue.

At this moment, the sound of a broadcast rang out:

"The competition is about to begin. Please have all contestants recall pet beasts not participating in this competition back to the Beast Taming Tome."

Although a portion of the contestants hadn't contracted any pet beasts yet, most of the contestants had contracted one or two pet beasts to some extent. Hearing the sound of the broadcast, they greeted the pet beasts outside one after another, then waved their hands to recall them back to the Beast Taming Tome.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and also recalled Like Ya Bao and the others back.

These, these were actually all the pet beasts she contracted... Galina, who had specifically looked over after hearing the broadcast, widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

The sound of the broadcast continued: "If there are pet beasts that can turn invisible, please recall them as well. If the light detects any abnormality in the venue, Beast Tamers who bring invisible pet beasts onto the field will directly lose their competition qualifications."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang looked toward two positions in the air in front of her. Just as she was about to wave her hand, she sensed something and lowered her hand.

In the spectator area, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's gaze fell on Qiao Sang.

Suddenly, she felt her knee sink. Looking down, she saw the Qingyin Fairy appear on her leg.

"Qing-qing."

Qing-bao looked up and called out sweetly.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala felt her heart soften and said softly: "Just sit."

As soon as the words fell, she felt her head sink again.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala had a bad premonition in her heart.

The next second, the premonition came true; the Little Treasure Hunter's head hung down, and it grinned and called out: "Xun-xun~"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

The pet beast sitting in the back row patted the Little Treasure Hunter and called out: "Nu-nu."

You're too high up on the human's head; I can't see the front.

"Xun-xun~"

The Little Treasure Hunter looked over, revealed an "I understand" expression, and turned invisible.

"Great!" Teacher Yakelin sprang up from her chair, her expression excited.

About five minutes passed.

The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, followed by the lights in the guest area lighting up.

"Let us welcome the guests of this Contract Chemistry Competition!" The host's voice rang out: "First, the well-known contestant of this City Beast Sports Competition, Fu Lu Jian!"

A woman who looked to be in her 20s sitting in the guest area waved to the spectator area.

The host continued the introduction: "Second, the one with super high popularity, who won the championship in the Green Beast Competition, Tie Tie Daoyi!"

"Tie-tie."

A Fighting-type pet beast with a black and white body, well-developed muscles in its four limbs, and scarlet eyes revealing unfathomable depth, nodded steadily toward the spectator area.

The whole venue was boiling, seemingly having seen some popular idol.

"Isn't this pet beast called the Iron Road Bear?" Qiao Sang lowered her voice and asked the person beside her.

Iron Road Bear, a General-tier Fighting-type pet beast, gathers feelings of anger in its heart into its fists and attacks the opponent without mercy.

Galina knew the other party was an alien and wasn't surprised by this question, explaining:

"This is its name."

After a pause, she added: "The pet beasts here also have identity cards and can be named from birth."

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

Don't say, the name Tie Tie Daoyi is really not bad; at least it's much stronger than the names the opponents she encountered before gave their pet beasts.

"Finally, the one who won the third place in the individual battle of the Provincial Beast Sports Competition, Feodor!" the host said loudly.

The man with black curly hair didn't move a muscle, only smiled slightly.

The whole venue cheered loudly.

Even the third place is this popular... Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.

To be honest, after many large-scale competitions, if you ask who the third place is, people who watched the competition might not necessarily be able to answer, unless the third place happens to be a contestant they support.

The host entered the process:

"Before the competition officially begins, we must first thank..."

After he finished thanking a crowd of sponsors, he said passionately:

"There are a total of 256 pairs of contestants who signed up for this Contract Chemistry Competition! Who will be the first to break through in the preliminaries and have an eye-catching performance in the preliminaries? Let us randomly match them!"

Following the host's words, the venue suddenly moved and intertwined.

Everyone's position was constantly changing.

Qiao Sang only felt herself move left, right, up, and down a few times, then stopped.

The opponents standing on the left and right venues and opposite were no longer the few from before.

The pet beasts participating in the Contract Chemistry Competition are generally not high in level, so the venue for each pair of contestants is not very large.

Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast opposite that looked like cotton and raised an eyebrow.

The first thought that occurred was: Isn't this the Cotton Seed that carpooled?

Followed by the second thought: The preliminaries should be stable.

Cotton Seed, an entry-level Grass-type pet beast, its body is extremely light, easily blown away by the wind, its attack power is not high, and its defense is also low. If it gets hit by the Little Thunder Dragon's Discharge, it's a one-shot kill.

The Cotton Seed clearly recognized who Qiao Sang was, its eyes lit up, and it waved its claws.

The boy with a bowl cut who looked only 15 or 16 years old behind it looked at the Little Thunder Dragon with a much more nervous expression.

"All contestants have been matched," the host's voice rang out on the broadcast: "In this preliminary round, all contestants will compete together. Who will enter the next round, and who will receive the favor of the three guests in the preliminaries? Ladies and gentlemen, I now announce, the competition officially begins!"

A virtual light shadow of "3" appeared above the venue.

In mid-air, pet beasts that looked like eyes aimed at the venue below.

The light shadow changed, and when it reached "1," the light shadow vanished, and the sound of "Competition begins" rang out.

All the participating Beast Tamers issued commands almost at the same time.

Qiao Sang habitually didn't issue a command.

"Razor Leaf!" the boy with the bowl cut shouted.

"Mian-mian!" Green light appeared on the Cotton Seed's body.

More than ten leaves glowing with green light appeared out of thin air, rushing forward like sharp blades.

"Ting-ting!"

Seeing this, the Little Thunder Dragon didn't dodge but called out, yellow electric arcs appearing on its body, converging into a thick arc and striking toward the Cotton Seed.

"Float up!" the boy with the bowl cut said hurriedly.

The Cotton Seed blew a breath of air toward the ground, and its body floated upward.

A light breeze blew, and its body drifted without any pattern.

Is this using the wind to move and dodge? Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed it.

But this movement is too slow; it will definitely be struck. It seems this Cotton Seed hasn't undergone professional training either... But if the wind were stronger, it might have been able to dodge...

At the same time, the three guests were providing commentary:

"That Little Red Monster is not bad, using Flame Wheel for high-speed movement."

"The Thief Meow in venue 47 has a very fast movement speed; in the entry-level stage, it actually looks like an afterimage when moving. I'm very optimistic about it."

"The Little Vine Flower in venue 32 seems to have conflicted with the Beast Tamer commanding it. It seems the command issued by the Beast Tamer commanding it cannot convince it. I don't know if they will still contract after this competition ends."

"Tie-tie, Tie-tie," Tie Tie Daoyi called out twice.

The broadcast room had an Iron Road Bear specifically working there. Hearing the sound from the headset, it operated it, and the camera turned to venue 26.

The venue had a giant virtual screen playing synchronously.

Feodor looked at the contestant appearing on the virtual screen and revealed a surprised expression:

"This is actually a dual-attribute pet beast of the Thunder and Dragon types. This kind of attribute-matched pet beast is rare; I didn't expect it to appear in this Contract Chemistry Competition."

Fu Lu Jian said: "The Contract Chemistry Competition doesn't lack rare pet beasts. I remember in one competition I watched before, there was even a different-colored Unicorn Swallow."

"What kind of Dragon-type pet beast is this?" Feodor didn't hide his ignorance in front of the camera and asked generously.

"Tie-tie." Tie Tie Daoyi shook his head.

Fu Lu Jian fell silent for a moment and said: "I don't know either."

Feodor didn't dwell on this question either, turning to say: "Under the same level, Cotton Seed is very difficult to defeat a Dragon-type pet beast."

During the conversation between the two and the beast, the Little Thunder Dragon's lightning struck the Cotton Seed with absolute precision.

The Razor Leaf hadn't even reached the position where the Little Thunder Dragon was before falling to the ground.

"Mian-mian!" The Cotton Seed screamed, falling to the ground charred all over.

The half-venue belonging to Qiao Sang and the Little Thunder Dragon glowed with the green light of victory.

"Ting-ting." Little Ting-bao revealed an expression that said, "I knew I would win."

At the same time, quite a few groups of contestants also won in one move.

The camera switched, and the three guests continued to commentate on other contestants.
