Chapter 1323: Pre-match Check

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

9:00 AM, on the open ground.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

All kinds of explosion sounds rang out one after another, the whole ground vibrated from time to time, and even the invisible mirror realm was shaking slightly.

Mi Mi Jiala looked at the scene of Ya Bao and the others training, her eyes glowing slightly, and said: "Not bad, there is obvious progress every day. If you train like this, even if you encounter some well-known participating contestants in the preliminaries, it should be no problem."

Except for me, who among those who can sign up for the Master Challenge isn't a well-known participating contestant... Qiao Sang complained internally.

She had currently memorized the information of all the participating contestants. Those who could sign up for this competition had almost all appeared in large-scale professional competitions, international competitions, or even interstellar competitions to some extent.

To tell the truth, compared to them, the National Campus Beast Taming League champion and regional competition champion she won on Blue Star were really somewhat unpresentable.

Then Qiao Sang thought of something and asked: "When the competition comes, does Little Xun Bao's largest ring need to have the things inside taken out?"

After this period of training, she discovered that the new ring that appeared after Little Xun Bao evolved could transfer its own attacks, somewhat similar to the effect of Shadow Penetration.

"Yes." Mi Mi Jiala nodded: "Don't put anything inside. Although the ring is Little Xun Bao's companion item, it is also a type of item. Before the competition, the organizer will carefully check. If Little Xun Bao doesn't use the ring to attack during the competition, it's fine, but if it's used as a means of attack, the things stored inside the ring might be regarded as a point of attack."

"Some people might question whether the things inside increased the power of the ring."

"And items all have a range of endurance. Now the opponents are basically Emperor-level pet beasts. If one is not careful, the ring might suffer damage. Once the ring is damaged in the competition, the space is unstable, and the things stored inside might come out, which is unfavorable for the competition."

Generally, large-scale professional beast taming competitions do not allow pet beasts to carry any items, but companion items are an exception.

Companion items are items that are not man-made but accompany the pet beast from birth. Such items are considered part of the pet beast's own strength, so they are not prohibited in professional competitions.

However, not prohibited doesn't mean not strictly checked. Some Beast Tamers rely on their pet beasts having companion items to play tricks on the items to increase power.

After there were more such situations, the checks on companion items became increasingly strict.

Qiao Sang heard the second half of Mi Mi Jiala's sentence and had already started to worry:

"If Little Xun Bao's ring breaks, can it be repaired?"

"Yes." Mi Mi Jiala's tone was flat but carried confidence: "Don't forget our school has the most excellent item masters."

"They aren't on Yan Tian Star either." Qiao Sang said subconsciously.

Mi Mi Jiala looked at her: "Our school also has item masters on Yan Tian Star."

Hearing this, Qiao Sang instantly felt relieved. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, some movement entered her ears.

Her ears moved, and she said:

"Looks like someone has come in again."

Although Pen Jia Mei set up a mirror realm around, as the competition time drew closer, quite a few people and pet beasts still wanted to enter here.

Don't know how many groups of people outside knew that what was set up around was a mirror realm. During this period, there were really pet beasts with traits or skills specifically designed to restrain mirror realms that had come in.

"Not a person, it's a pet beast." Mi Mi Jiala said calmly: "You solve it."

"Alright." Qiao Sang nodded slightly, and then said:

"Lu Bao, southwest direction."

"Bing Sheng."

Her Beast Tamer's voice entered her ears, Lu Bao stopped training and called out.

The next second, an indescribable oppressive feeling descended in the southwest direction, and the whole air seemed to be trembling slightly.

"Ting Ting..."

Clearly not affected, but Ting Bao still inexplicably felt pressure, its body tensed, and it didn't dare to move at all.

Ya Bao and the others stopped training and looked over in unison.

"Duo, duo..."

In the trembling air, a pet beast about 90 centimeters in size, wearing a micro-shrinking bracelet, purple all over, with three vertical eyes on its forehead, appeared out of thin air, kneeling on the ground, its body trembling uncontrollably.

Duo Yan Ling, a Ghost-element King-level pet beast, its eyes can see through the flaws of barrier-type skills, find the weak points of the barrier and the most unstable time of the barrier to break or sneak into it... Qiao Sang looked at the Ghost-element pet beast that appeared on the ground in the distance, the information related to it surfaced in her mind, thinking no wonder it could enter the mirror realm set up by Pen Jia Mei even though it was only King-level.

As thoughts flickered, Duo Yan Ling couldn't bear the pressure anymore and lay on the ground.

"Discovered."

In a building, the man with the golden spiky hair said with an ugly expression.

If the Beast Tamer and the pet beast are one outside the mirror realm and one inside, the Beast Taming Book cannot be retrieved. He can only wait for the other party to throw Duo Yan Ling out or for the mirror realm to disappear before he can retrieve it into the Beast Taming Book.

"We agreed, if no information is collected, I won't pay the reward." The man with the bun hairstyle next to him leaned lazily on the sofa and said.

"I know." The man with the golden spiky hair quickly restrained his expression, his tone respectful: "Duo Yan Ling has been inside for a while, it should have seen something at least."

After saying this, he thought of something and suddenly laughed, then said: "And my Duo Yan Ling has the trait of Curse of the Evil Body. No matter who attacks it, they will be unlucky for a period of time."

"Participating contestants and pet beasts will undergo comprehensive physical examinations before the competition." The man with the bun hairstyle said slowly: "If there are any abnormal negative states on the body, they will all be treated, so it won't affect the competition. This curse effect is useless, I don't care whether they are unlucky or not, I just want the other party's information."

Being unlucky for a few days before the competition will affect the state of mind, how could it be useless... The man with the golden spiky hair complained internally, his expression respectful on the surface:

"Don't worry, Duo Yan Ling must have seen something."

At the same time.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Xun Bao teleported over, its eyes glowing with blue light, and very considerately turned Duo Yan Ling over.

Only to see all of Duo Yan Ling's eyes were in a vortex shape, already fainted.

"Don't know how much Duo Yan Ling saw just now." Qiao Sang said.

"It doesn't matter how much it saw." Mi Mi Jiala said while walking toward Duo Yan Ling: "Just let it forget it, then throw it out."

Qiao Sang followed quickly.

Mi Mi Jiala came to Duo Yan Ling's side and said: "Let it forget everything, then throw it out."

"Pen Pen." Pen Jia Mei called out, and then its claws were placed on Duo Yan Ling's body, glowing with blue light.

Duo Yan Ling's expression struggled slightly, but soon returned to calm.

Pen Jia Mei withdrew its claws, its eyes glowing with blue light.

The next second, Duo Yan Ling disappeared from the spot.

It's really good to have Teacher Mi Mi Jiala by my side, besides competition training, I don't have to worry about anything else... Qiao Sang sighed internally, turned her head, and said:

"You guys continue..."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Her gaze fell on Lu Bao, and she clearly saw a wisp of faint black energy emanating from her body.

Looks like that Duo Yan Ling just now had a curse-type trait... Qiao Sang looked at Ya Bao and said:

"Lu Bao is cursed, help her purify it."

Cursed? Lu Bao was stunned for a moment.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao called out, opened his mouth, and sprayed golden and warm flames toward Lu Bao.

Lu Bao stood still, didn't dodge, and let the golden flames swallow her.

"Was it the Duo Yan Ling just now?" Mi Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang said "Mm": "Before Duo Yan Ling fainted, there was no black energy on Lu Bao."

Paused, she added: "It should be that the other party has a trait that can curse without physical contact."

Ever since Little Xun Bao evolved, her eyes could see supernatural events more and more, not only invisible Ghost-element pet beasts, but even the black energy produced by curses could be seen directly with the naked eye.

"Didn't you see it?" Qiao Sang said, then thought of something and asked.

"No." Mi Mi Jiala analyzed: "This shouldn't just be the power fed back to you by the Dark Ring Hegemon; it also has a certain relationship with Fen Di Duo."

"Some abilities that appear in Beast Tamers are fed back by multiple pet beasts together."

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

During the conversation, Ya Bao finished the purification.

The golden flames disappeared, and Lu Bao was revealed, completely unharmed.

"Let's continue training." Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and said.

"Ya Ya!"

"Bing Sheng."

"Xun Xun~"

"Gang Quan."

"Qing Qing."

"Ting Ting."

Soon, various explosion sounds of "bang," "boom," and "boom" rang out around again.

Three days later, early morning.

Qiao Sang finished washing, ate breakfast, carried the backpack containing Lu Bao, picked up Xia Xia Lala who looked like a Zhou Xian Zhou Xian Pu, turned her head to Teacher Mi Mi Jiala who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and said:

"Teacher, I'm leaving first."

"After the check, don't eat anything outside, and don't linger, come back directly." Mi Mi Jiala instructed.

"Understood." After Qiao Sang finished speaking, she nodded at Little Xun Bao next to her.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Xun Bao's eyes glowed with blue light.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao and the others disappeared from the spot.

Mi Mi Jiala drank milk comfortably while watching TV.

A news report was playing on the screen, and it was a live broadcast:

"Today, at the Tan Kingdom Beast Taming Bureau, the participating contestants of the Master Challenge will gather here to conduct a comprehensive physical examination before the Master Challenge. Only contestants who pass the examination can officially participate in tomorrow's assessment. However, this physical examination is not entirely to prevent contestants from using means such as taking potions before the competition, but more to pay attention to the physical health of the contestants."

"Many contestants will encounter physical conditions suddenly before participating in large-scale competitions. After a comprehensive physical examination, excluding physical damage not caused by their own reasons, the medical team will treat the participating contestants on the spot to ensure that it will not affect tomorrow's competition..."

The reporter broadcasting the news suddenly saw something, her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Contestant Qiao Sang just appeared, she entered the Tan Kingdom Beast Taming Bureau. As an A-rank professional Beast Tamer who suddenly emerged, I am really curious about her. If one wants to talk about the most mysterious participating contestant in this Master Challenge, it should be her..."

Following the reporter's broadcast, the photographer gave a close-up of the figure walking into the entrance of the Tan Kingdom Beast Taming Bureau.

1.6 meters tall, black ponytail, carrying a backpack, it was Qiao Sang.

Tan Kingdom Beast Taming Headquarters.

Qiao Sang walked in, and a staff member immediately came up to lead the way.

Along the way, many people and pet beasts looked over frequently, and the return rate was quite high.

Soon, the staff member led her to a lounge and said:

"Please rest here for a while, there are still contestants conducting examinations ahead. When it's your turn, we will have staff come over to take you over."

He said this while pushing open the door.

All gazes in the room gathered instantly.

Inside the lounge, some people were sitting on the sofa, some were standing and chatting, some were hiding in the corners, and some were sitting cross-legged and floating in mid-air. Everyone's aura was restrained, but one could see the temperament of big shots.

So many A-rank Beast Tamers... Qiao Sang glanced at some of the participating contestants she had only seen in the information, sighed internally, and said calmly on the surface:

"Alright."

After saying this, she found an empty sofa and sat down, took a bottle of water from the side of the bag, and handed it to Xia Xia Lala.

However, just at this moment, the door was opened again, and everyone went quiet for a moment, looking at the door.

Qiao Sang followed and cast her gaze over. After seeing the face clearly, her heartbeat accelerated somewhat uncontrollably.

The person who came had brown hair and blue eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and an indifferent expression. It was one of the two participating contestants in this session who possessed five Emperor-level pet beasts, one of the most popular championship candidates, Contestant Laifeide Hope.

This person is one of the candidates most likely to obtain the Sun Crystal, must build a good relationship... Qiao Sang did some psychological construction, and just as she was about to stand up, she saw Contestant Laifeide sit down in a pile of people, and the people around him soon chatted happily with him.

Forget it, next time... Qiao Sang's intention to say hello extinguished instantly.

Among the participating contestants of this Master Challenge, the most famous one was definitely Contestant Laifeide. As an owner of five Emperor-level pet beasts and also a local Beast Tamer of Yan Tian Star, it was normal for his popularity to be high.

Now it seems, his popularity among the participating contestants is also very high...

However, everyone is an opponent, these people might just have a good surface relationship with him... Qiao Sang recalled the news she had seen before, substituted Contestant Laifeide into it, and imagined it.

Imagine, during the competition, someone plays dirty against Contestant Laifeide, mixes strengthening potions into his drink, wanting him to fail the comprehensive examination, but just at this moment, she stands out, acting as a witness to prove his innocence.

"Qiao Sang, I'm really moved. Didn't expect that we didn't know each other, yet you were willing to testify for me." Contestant Laifeide said with a moved expression.

She waved her hand: "It's all a small effort."

"I feel like we met each other late, let's add contact information, you can come to me at any time if you have needs in the future." Contestant Laifeide said.

She said: "I also feel like I met you late, don't know if you need the Sun Crystal?"

No, no, directly saying Sun Crystal is too purposeful... Qiao Sang terminated the imagination.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ear: "Why are you staring at Contestant Laifeide? Thinking about how to defeat him?"

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a face that was still somewhat familiar.
