Chapter 1325

Yantian Star, Tan Kingdom.

Saye International Stadium.

The spectator stands were packed with people and pet beasts.

Various pet beasts were performing on the field, while others shuttled through the stands, interacting with the audience.

Row 3, Area A.

Several butterfly-type pet beasts fluttered over, scattering candies as they flew.

One candy fell, and two claws of different colors grabbed it almost simultaneously.

Little Xiao Xunbao and Seeing Qingbao held onto the candy, neither willing to yield.

"Xun-xun!"

I grabbed it first!

"Qing-qing!"

It was clearly me!

Little Xiao Xunbao and Seeing Qingbao stared at each other, and sparks seemed to flash where their gazes met.

Just as a battle seemed imminent, one of Lubao's claws reached out from the backpack, revealing a candy, and it let out a cry:

"Bing-sheng."

Stop arguing, I have another one here.

"Xun-xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao immediately released its claw, took the candy from Lubao's claw, and its eyes curved into crescents.

Seeing Qingbao snorted coldly at Little Xiao Xunbao, wore an expression that said "that's more like it," opened the candy wrapper, and put the candy in its mouth.

The sweet, cloying taste spread in its mouth.

"Qing-qing~"

Seeing Qingbao's eyes curved subconsciously.

Honestly, they could almost start a fight over a piece of candy... Qiao Sang wore an amused expression, then, remembering Lubao who had given the candy away, she looked in the direction where the butterfly-type pet beasts had flown off.

The next second, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, blowing a candy dropped by the butterfly-type pet beasts toward them.

Qiao Sang raised her hand to catch the candy and put it into her backpack.

Lubao's pair of ice-formed ears suddenly stood up, appearing outside the backpack, but soon, the ears slowly retracted.

Meanwhile, Row 5, Area A.

A man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a short beard ignored the spectacular performance on the field, looked at this scene, and asked:

"Is she Qiao Sang?"

Xia Huo, sitting beside him, gave a faint "Mm."

"An 18-year-old A-level Beast Tamer; this talent must be the best in the galaxy." Jerome sighed: "Has she been blessed by some divine beast?"

Xia Huo glanced at him: "You find me another 18-year-old A-level Beast Tamer blessed by a divine beast and show me."

"I'm just guessing." Jerome continued to sigh: "I originally thought some old monster had found the Wheel of Dreams and reincarnated, but looking at it now, this is indeed a child, and her pet beasts also show a childlike nature."

"It's hard to believe there's such a monster in the world."

The Wheel of Dreams, a legendary Psychic-type divine beast, is said to possess the ability to allow living beings to retain their memories and enter reincarnation.

After speaking, he thought of something else and said: "Is that soft and cute pet beast called Qingfeng Qingfeng Yunren? Although it's only a King-level pet beast, it seems to be a legendary one."

"How on earth did she manage to contract a legendary pet beast?"

"But with her high talent, contracting a legendary pet beast seems normal; if I were a pet beast, I'd be willing to contract with her too."

"Did you see that pet beast that's ridiculously black? I checked the data; it seems to be called the Underworld Ring Monarch, a King-level pet beast, but I don't see it wearing a shrinking bracelet; this size is way too small for a King-level pet beast..."

Xia Huo listened to the other party's chatter, took a deep breath, and endured it.

Jerome didn't realize he was being talkative and continued:

"Do you think that Xianxianpu has something unique? It's so ordinary, yet it can make a monster like Qiao Sang hold it; I can't think of any reason why that's normal; she couldn't possibly be planning to raise this Xianxianpu to be her seventh pet beast..."

An 18-year-old A-level professional Beast Tamer, plus being a student in the Imperial Class—no one doubted she would become an S-level Beast Tamer in the future.

Xia Huo, hearing this, couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Xianxianpu.

Come to think of it, when she saw Qiao Sang the last few times, she did indeed see her holding the Xianxianpu in her arms.

She remembered that the evolution limit of a Xianxianpu was only King-level...

Just as she was thinking this, Jerome said: "The limit for a Xianxianpu is only King-level; she wouldn't choose to contract it unless she was out of her mind. Speaking of which, you've dealt with her before; tell me, is she smart?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Xia Huo, waiting for her answer.

Xia Huo: "..."

"Why am I sitting with you?" Xia Huo said in a cold, ruthless tone.

Jerome was stunned, then sighed: "Xia Huo, your patience is getting thinner and thinner; I remember you used to be quite fond of me. When you first entered the Flame Class, you even possessed someone else's body just to sneak a peek at me. Why are we sitting together? Isn't this an officially assigned seat? Why would you ask such a stupid question? I remember you used to..."

Xia Huo stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong with you?" Jerome asked.

Xia Huo didn't answer and left directly, seemingly not wanting to stay for even another second.

Jerome withdrew his gaze and looked at the figure in front who was talking to her pet beasts, her expression gradually calming down.

18 years old, A-level Beast Tamer, four King-level pet beasts...

The VIP box, 100 meters above the last row of the spectator stands.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala sat on the sofa, looking at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"I didn't expect your student to become an A-level professional Beast Tamer so quickly." A blonde lady in a black dress sitting lazily on the sofa beside her sighed while sipping champagne.

"It's a pity that by then I already had Jules to teach, otherwise Qiao Sang might have been my student."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said calmly: "I remember someone saying back then that although Qiao Sang had high innate talent, the limits of the pet beasts she contracted were low, so it would be very difficult for her to enter the Interstellar Cup."

Margot almost choked on her drink: "Who, who said that? I certainly didn't."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala took out her phone: "I'll check the chat history right now."

Margot stopped her: "Fine, I said it, okay? I didn't know her talent could be this high; not only did she become an A-level professional Beast Tamer so quickly, but she was also able to raise pet beasts in their brand-new forms to King-level so quickly."

Speaking of this, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala also sighed: "I didn't expect it either when I first started teaching her."

Margot felt a bit sour hearing this.

As a mentor, who wouldn't want to cultivate a student who could become world-famous in the future? It's not that Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's teaching level couldn't cultivate one, but in the current situation, it was obvious that she had basically picked up such a student without needing to cultivate her much at all.

An 18-year-old A-level professional Beast Tamer—she wouldn't even need to wait until the day of the Interstellar Cup; just by making an appearance at this Master Challenge Cup and having the host introduce her, she could achieve world-famous status immediately.

Margot gave two dry laughs and changed the subject:

"I wonder if Qiao Sang and Jules will meet in this competition."

"There will be a chance," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said.

"Who do you think will be the first contestant to fight?" Margot asked.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala thought for a moment and said: "In any case, it should be someone from Yantian Star."

During their conversation, the performance on the field came to an end.

The lights shone down, and the female host in the blue evening gown, Nefutis, held the microphone and said loudly:

"Cries crossing the desert, everyone has gathered here from across the galaxy! Tonight, as the dome of the Saye International Stadium lights up the starry sky, we will witness the opening of the battle curtain for the 3022nd Master Challenge Cup!"

Aoroer took the microphone and replied: "Next, we will conduct the first grouping for this Master Challenge Cup!"

"Gui-gui!"

The beautiful pet beast wearing a rose ornament on its head took off its ornament and threw it upward with force.

The rose ornament instantly transformed into bright red petals, swirling upward.

The gazes of everyone and every pet beast in the spectator stands, as well as the cameras of various media outlets, immediately turned upward in unison toward the direction where the rose ornament was thrown.

Petals of bright red were swirled into the sky by the wind.

When everyone and every pet beast looked up, the starlight in the night sky flickered, and then countless stars suddenly rained down, converging into a magnificent picture.

Seeing this, the crowd and the pet beasts all wore expressions of amazement, and many began taking out their phones to take pictures.

On the phone screens, a giant virtual screen emerged amidst the countless stars.

Immediately after, the starlight and lights disappeared simultaneously, leaving only the giant virtual screen floating in mid-air.

On the virtual screen, the photos of all the participating contestants appeared.

The gazes of everyone and every pet beast gathered there.

Is the grouping about to start... Qiao Sang looked at the giant virtual screen on the field, feeling nervous subconsciously.

I wonder who my first opponent will be... Please don't let it be Contestant Laifeide or Serana...

"Xun-xun..."

"Qing-qing..."

"Xia, Qing-qing..."

Little Xiao Xunbao, Seeing Qingbao, and Xia Lala were equally nervous.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao, on the other hand, was incredibly excited.

Lubao's head poked out from the backpack.

Gangbao and Little Tingbao watched the giant virtual screen on the field through shared vision in the Beast Taming Codex.

Soon, the photos on the giant virtual screen began to shuffle rapidly.

At the same time the photos were shuffling, the cameras aimed at the location where the contestants in the first few rows were gathered.

When the camera lingered on a certain exquisite face for a second.

In the villa in Hanggang City, Dragon Kingdom, Blue Star.

Ye Ye Xiangting's eyes lit up instantly, she stood up with a start, fully awake, and said excitedly:

"Qiao Sang! I saw Qiao Sang!"

"Tong-hua!"

"Xin-xin!"

Tonghuaxiao and Xinyangweng also woke up simultaneously and looked at the TV.

"Guan-guan?"

Guan Guan Zhishi looked at the TV with a puzzled expression.

Ye Ye Xiangting sat back down and coughed: "The camera has already moved on."

"Tong-hua..."

"Xin-xin..."

Tonghuaxiao and Xinyangweng lay back down.

On the TV, the camera had already lingered on the giant virtual screen.

Hundreds of photos were shuffling simultaneously; before long, they were paired up and fixed in place.

Ye Ye Xiangting scanned quickly, and three seconds later, she finally saw the name she wanted to see:

【Jerome VS Qiao Sang】

Yantian Star, Tan Kingdom.

Saye International Stadium.

The whole stadium was excitedly discussing the contestants they supported and the opponents they were matched with.

Row 3, Area A.

【Jerome VS Qiao Sang】

Jerome... Qiao Sang looked at these three words appearing on the giant virtual screen, pondered for a second, and quickly searched her mind for relevant information.

Jerome, a student in the Flame Class at Yantian University, 61 years old this year, possesses four King-level pet beasts, and has participated in national-level competitions at the D-level, C-level, B-level, and A-level, winning first place in all of them.

He even achieved a good result of seventh place in an interstellar-level competition a year ago.

Meeting someone from the Flame Class in the first battle... Qiao Sang recalled the opponent's data, and her heart skipped a beat.

This opponent is probably not easy to fight... I have to go back early and study his past battle videos in detail... If I fail in the first round, how will I be able to get on good terms with a contestant who has a chance of winning the championship...

In the VIP box.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala frowned and muttered:

"Jerome..."

"Isn't that the kid from the Flame Class?" Margot sighed: "Qiao Sang's luck is really bad, meeting someone from the Flame Class right off the bat; this point is a bit like you."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala glanced at her: "In terms of luck, she's not like me at all."

"That's true." Margot sipped her champagne and agreed: "If her luck were really bad, she wouldn't have become an A-level professional Beast Tamer so quickly."

After speaking, she looked at another list and smiled: "It seems my student will have no problem passing the preliminaries."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said faintly: "My student will have no problem either."

Margot smiled: "She might have no problem in a few years, but isn't she only just becoming an A-level professional Beast Tamer now?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't speak, picked up her bag, stood up, and prepared to walk out.

"Leaving already?" Margot was stunned for a moment.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala gave an "Mm": "I'm going back to collect some more data on Jerome."

Margot laughed:

"Don't tell me you really think Qiao Sang still has a chance to beat Jerome?"

"Why wouldn't she have a chance? I know her better than you do." Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said calmly: "And not only do I want her to beat Jerome, I also hope she makes it into the top three."

Margot looked astonished: "You even hope she makes the top three? You're not joking, are you?"

"Do I look like someone who would joke?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said faintly: "Besides, the Dean also said that if Qiao Sang makes the top three in this competition, he'll give her a reward."

Margot frowned:

"This is obviously just something said off the cuff; how is this any different from some countries saying that if their national athlete wins the Interstellar Cup, the whole country gets a month off?"

"I'm leaving now." Teacher Mi Mi Jiala waved her hand and pushed the door open to leave.

This guy, she doesn't really think her student can make the top three, does she... Just became an A-level professional Beast Tamer and already has to fight Jerome from the Flame Class; it's clear that even passing the preliminaries is a question... Margot swirled the champagne in her hand and looked at the giant virtual screen outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

On the field, Nefutis held the microphone and said loudly:

"The list of contestants for the first round of battles has appeared!"

Aoroer cooperated and said:

"Tonight! We stand here, not to wait for the closing of the opening ceremony! But to welcome a battle that is about to begin!"

Nefutis continued immediately:

"That's right! Tonight we will conduct the first battle! The battle is tonight! We are ready! Are you ready!"

"Ready!!!" the entire audience said almost in unison.

"Let's see who the contestants will be to kick off the first battle of the Master Challenge Cup!" Aoroer shouted with a passionate tone.

"Gui-gui!"

The humanoid flower-type pet beast raised its claw, and a bright red rose instantly condensed.

It threw it upward with force, and the rose instantly transformed into countless bright red petals that scattered in front of the virtual screen.

The contestants' photos on the virtual screen disappeared one by one, and finally, only one pair remained, enlarged on the screen.

"It seems the contestants to kick off the first match of the 3022nd Master Challenge Cup have been decided! That is Jerome and Qiao Sang!" Aoroer said loudly.

On the virtual screen, a photo of a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a short beard, and a photo of a girl with black hair, black eyes, a ponytail, and exquisite features were enlarged.

The entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers.

How could it be Qiao Sang in the first round... In the VIP box, Margot looked at the photo appearing on the virtual screen and was stunned for a moment.

Just then, the door was "bang" opened.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala walked in.
