Chapter 1106: Seeing Qingbao's Goal

Little Treasure Hunter's eyes glowed with blue light.

The next second, Qiao Sang and Seeing Qingbao returned to the contestant area.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure Hunter gave a thumbs up and chirped.

"Qingqing."

Seeing Qingbao restrained the corners of its mouth from curling up, putting on an expression that said, "Isn't this expected?"

In the past, whenever its Beast Tamer participated in competitions, she would bring Like Ya Bao and the others to win consecutively; when it was its turn, it always felt it could keep winning as well.

Its Beast Tamer was more formidable than other Beast Tamers, and it believed itself to be no worse than other pets of the same rank.

So, when its Beast Tamer came to participate in the competition with it, its confidence soared, and it never once thought it would lose.

However, at this moment, Qiao Sang was saying to Teacher Mikala on the side:

"If it weren't for the Wind Force triggered by Seeing Qingbao's emotions popping the surrounding bubbles in time, the result of this match would have been hard to say."

After all, if the bubbles hadn't popped in time, the Water Vapor Sloth's attack would likely have hit Seeing Qingbao, and Seeing Qingbao is a "glass cannon"—no one knew if it would have been knocked out in a single hit.

Seeing Qingbao: "???"

The result would have been hard to say?

Does that mean it would have lost?

Seeing Qingbao looked at its Beast Tamer in disbelief.

Qiao Sang continued:

"I'm thinking, shouldn't we have Seeing Qingbao practice defensive skills next?"

She paused, then added: "And the application of skills—shouldn't I develop those more?"

Mikala pondered for a moment and said:

"The Qingyin Fairy can turn into wind, making it hard for ordinary attacks to hit it. However, once your data becomes well-known, someone will definitely implement targeted attack plans against the Qingyin Fairy. Increasing its defense should indeed be put on the schedule as soon as possible."

"As for the application of skills..." At this point, Mikala scanned Like Ya Bao and the others with a complex expression and continued:

"I know you have this idea because of the match just now, but your situation is different from other ordinary Beast Tamers. Most Beast Tamers contract fewer pets, so they have more time to divide among them. Moreover, pets learn skills slowly, and even skills awakened through evolution require a lot of time to truly master."

"Because their skills are hard to learn, they push individual skills to the limit, develop multiple applications for them, or form combination skills with other skills to increase power."

"Your pets evolve too quickly. Every time they evolve, the skills they awaken are not only numerous but are also skills other pets couldn't learn even if they wanted to."

"Yanjiaou and the others train these skills without any pressure, and their proficiency increases significantly every period of time through practice."

Mikala said a lot, and finally, she summarized:

"My opinion is that Yanjiaou and the others should continue training according to the current arrangement. Once they reach a bottleneck where skill proficiency no longer shows significant improvement, then we can develop skill applications."

If the skills Yanjiaou and the others awakened were all high-rank skills, she would support developing combination skills now, but almost all the skills they awakened are super-rank skills.

Since super-rank skills show significant progress through training every period of time, why practice combination skills? It is the right path to quickly improve the proficiency of super-rank skills while there is no bottleneck.

*With a cheat, bottlenecks don't exist... * Qiao Sang complained internally, while outwardly appearing to listen earnestly. Finally, she pondered and said:

"Then how about letting Seeing Qingbao undergo training for skill application?"

Seeing Qingbao: "???"

Upon hearing this, Mikala nodded slightly: "The Qingyin Fairy can indeed practice combination skills. The skill it used on the field just now, combining Tailwind and Fairy Wind, was quite good. It has absolute talent in the fusion of wind-type skills; you can work hard in this area."

Qiao Sang said:

"I understand."

Seeing Qingbao also understood on the side: its Beast Tamer and her teacher both felt it was too weak right now and that it needed to practice defense and separately practice combination skills.

It looked at Little Treasure Hunter, then at Like Ya Bao, Gangbao, and Lubao, realizing clearly for the first time that it seemed to be the weakest in the team.

Thinking of this, an inexplicable wind whipped up around it.

"Ting ting..."

Little Thunder Dragon poked its head out next to Lubao, feeling the surrounding wind, and showed a comfortable expression.

Seeing Qingbao looked at Little Thunder Dragon, suddenly thinking that if its Beast Tamer contracted it in the future, it wouldn't be the weakest anymore, and it couldn't help but look at Little Thunder Dragon with much more affection.

The wind around its body stopped simultaneously.

Little Thunder Dragon showed a disappointed expression, as if to say "That's it?", and burrowed back into the backpack, huddling close to Lubao.

At this moment, the host in the guest area said loudly:

"This morning's competition ends here. Let's meet at two o'clock this afternoon—don't miss it!"

As the host finished speaking, the reporters who had been ready to go ran frantically toward the contestant area.

Seeing this formation, Qiao Sang stopped communicating with Teacher Mikala and said calmly and peacefully:

"Little Treasure Hunter."

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure Hunter's eyes glowed with blue light.

The next second, it took its Beast Tamer and Like Ya Bao and the others and disappeared from the spot.

*She got away again... * The reporters stopped in their tracks, sighing one by one.

So it really wasn't that they didn't want to interview her, but that the other party simply didn't give them the chance!

Noon, villa.

The scorching sun was overhead.

After eating, Qiao Sang took Seeing Qingbao to the room, opened her laptop, searched for the video "Strongest High-Rank Pet Championship Poison-Back Beast Battle Full Version," and placed it in front of Seeing Qingbao.

Seeing Qingbao pretended to be well-behaved and looked at the screen.

The video of the Poison-Back Beast's battle was playing.

The Poison-Back Beast was the other contestant who made it to the final.

Qiao Sang said:

"I watched the Poison-Back Beast's previous matches and found it has a habit: it will spray poison gas at the start. You can treat this skill as similar to the Meitian Flower's stench. As long as you cast Misty Terrain and stay inside, the poison gas won't affect you."

"The area where you cast Misty Terrain is only about twenty square meters right now. Remember not to leave this range when there is poison gas."

"If you are forced to leave the Misty Terrain, for example, if you are attacked and knocked backward, hold your breath immediately and use Tailwind to blow the poison gas away quickly."

*Attacked and knocked backward? * Seeing Qingbao remembered what it heard in the contestant area this morning and showed a dejected expression, chirping:

"Qing qing?"

*Will you dislike me for being too weak? *

*Huh? * Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "How could that be? Why would you think that?"

"Qing qing."

Seeing Qingbao continued to chirp with a dejected expression, indicating that she thought it would lose the morning match and wanted it to train its defensive power and combination skills, which Like Ya Bao and the others didn't have to do.

*Is Seeing Qingbao this sensitive now? What exactly did that memory inheritance pass down... * Qiao Sang complained internally and said patiently:

"I didn't think you would lose the morning match; I just felt that the situation where the Water Vapor Sloth trapped you was beyond my expectations, making me feel that the match wouldn't be entirely under my control. To avoid such situations in the future, I want you to practice defensive power, just like I had you train for stench tolerance a few days ago."

"Having you train these isn't because I think you're weak, but because I want you to become stronger."

"As for defensive power and combination skills, Like Ya Bao and the others have all practiced them; it's just that you haven't been contracted with me for long, and we haven't had time to conduct this training yet."

"Qing qing?"

Seeing Qingbao listened, showing an expression that said, "Then I'm relieved." Immediately, it thought of something and chirped, asking when she would contract Little Thunder Dragon.

It hadn't realized it before, but now that it did, it didn't want to be the weakest in the team.

Especially thinking that even Little Treasure Hunter's slacker attitude was stronger than it, Seeing Qingbao felt inexplicably annoyed.

Qiao Sang sighed and said:

"Brain regions aren't something I can develop just because I want to."

This meant she didn't know when she would contract Little Thunder Dragon either.

"Qing qing?"

The hope of directly getting rid of its status as the weakest in the team was dashed. Seeing Qingbao felt slightly disappointed, then showed a serious expression and chirped.

*Then does it have a chance to catch up to Little Treasure Hunter? *

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Of course. In the past, Like Ya Bao's level led the team, and later Lubao was the first to evolve into the King-rank. As long as you work hard, overtaking them is very possible."

After all, Seeing Qingbao had a complete evolutionary path leading straight to the God-rank, and it didn't have to worry about evolutionary materials.

Unlike Like Ya Bao and Gangbao, whose next evolutionary paths were unknown, and unlike Lubao and Little Treasure Hunter, where one evolutionary path was incredibly difficult and the other required rare materials.

Seeing Qingbao's cultivation, as long as it followed the steps, was like the cultivation techniques in immortal cultivation novels that lead straight to the Great Dao; if the practitioner's talent met the standard and they cultivated according to it, they could achieve the Great Dao and complete their ascension.

"Qing qing!"

Seeing Qingbao saw that its Beast Tamer wasn't joking, and couldn't help but show an excited expression, chirping that it would work hard!

At the same time, Little Treasure Hunter, who was battling a Little Modalong in the open-air training ground, inexplicably sneezed, causing a brief pause in its movements.

Seeing this, the Little Modalong seized the opportunity, quickly opened its mouth, and sprayed a silver-white light wave that blasted onto Little Treasure Hunter.

"Bang!"

A loud noise.

"Xun xun!"

"Mo mo!"

Little Treasure Hunter and the Little Modalong screamed simultaneously, both falling from high altitude.

Evening, 7:30.

Hasman.

Quanman Stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the scene of the Strongest High-Rank Pet Championship!" The host said loudly into the microphone:

"Tonight, at this very moment, the final of this year's Strongest High-Rank Pet Championship will be held! The contestants who have entered the final are Contestant Qiao Sang! And Contestant Poison Invincible!"

Poison Invincible was the name the Poison-Back Beast had given itself.

As the host finished speaking, two white beams of light shone down, making the figures of Qiao Sang and the Poison-Back Beast, who were already standing on the field, clearly visible to everyone.

The cheers in the audience exploded instantly.

There were people calling both Qiao Sang's and the Poison-Back Beast's names, and all the wild pets watching were cheering as well.

If someone proficient in multiple pet languages were here, they would find that almost all of them were shouting the Poison-Back Beast's name.

In battle competitions, the ones who ultimately win are basically Beast Tamers.

Wild pets rarely win the final championship when competing on the same stage as Beast Tamers.

Therefore, as long as a wild pet wins the championship, or has the hope of winning, it often gains a wave of super-high popularity.

Just like the Pseudo-Crying Ghost, who once won the Strongest High-Rank Pet Championship—despite so many years of champions, because it was the only one to win as a wild pet in the last ten years, the organizers invited it as a guest.

"Poison-Back!"

On the field, the Poison-Back Beast raised its claws and let out a roar.

The cheers of all the wild pets in the audience became even more enthusiastic.

*How does this Poison-Back Beast look a bit chuunibyou... * Qiao Sang thought to herself.

After the host thanked a bunch of sponsors, he said:

"Who will ultimately win the final championship of this year's Strongest High-Rank Pet Championship? Let's turn the camera to the field."

A pet wearing a referee badge appeared out of thin air on the field, then raised a green flag and waved it toward Qiao Sang's position.

Qiao Sang formed seals with both hands, and a dazzling red star array lit up.

Seeing Qingbao soon appeared in the star array.

The pets in the audience cheering for the Poison-Back Beast's name instantly quieted down.

Support is support, but seeing this red star array, they still felt deep down that the Poison-Back Beast had little hope of winning.

"Poison-Back!"

The Poison-Back Beast chirped provocatively at Seeing Qingbao.

Seeing Qingbao was stunned for a moment, then its face turned ugly, and an inexplicable wind whipped up around it.

"Calm down." Qiao Sang said.

"Qing qing..." Seeing Qingbao took a deep breath, its expression returned to calm, and the wind around it stopped accordingly.

At the same time, the flag raised by the pet with the referee badge waved toward the middle and then disappeared from the spot.

Also disappearing was Seeing Qingbao.

The Poison-Back Beast showed a serious expression, opened its mouth, and a purple poison gas was immediately sprayed from its mouth.

But the next second, a gale blew.

The spreading poison gas was suddenly blown by the wind toward the Poison-Back Beast's location.

The Poison-Back Beast's figure was instantly surrounded by poison gas.

After training with the Meitian Flower for the past few days, Seeing Qingbao's breath-holding time had increased significantly, reaching a full minute and a half.

Its skills could basically only be used after it appeared, but the wind that appeared suddenly due to emotional influence was an exception. As long as it could utilize this wind, it could control the gale to blow away the poison gas on the field even in the state of turning into wind.

*I didn't expect the effect of having Seeing Qingbao think about angry things before the match to be so good. I wonder what it thought of... * Qiao Sang sighed internally, looking at the vague figure in the poison gas.

The Poison-Back Beast, a Poison and Dark dual-type high-rank pet, has a fierce personality and is full of highly toxic substances. If it dislikes someone, it will pretend to touch them inadvertently, directly poisoning them. It is born with a poisonous body, causing opponents who come into contact with it to fall into a poisoned state...

As thoughts flashed, Seeing Qingbao appeared in the high altitude, opened its mouth, and sprayed a pink gale containing fairy energy at the figure in the poison gas.

Yet at this moment, the purple poison gas suddenly expanded, its density actually covering the pink gale and shrouding the entire field within it. ===== CHAPTER 1107 =====
