Chapter 1390
As soon as the voice fell, a giant virtual screen appeared on the arena.
Twenty photos were rapidly interweaving.
The gazes of all the people and pet beasts were fixed in unison on the virtual screen.
Before long, the photos paired up and froze in place.
Qiao Sang's gaze swept across the photos on the screen one by one, and she quickly saw her own name at the very bottom:
【Qiao Sang VS Gaston】
Information related to him quickly surfaced in her mind:
Gaston, 56 years old, a student in the Imperial Class at Imperial Dun University, possesses four Emperor-tier pet beasts...
With the information confirmed, Qiao Sang couldn't help but let out a sigh.
To be honest, according to her original plan, she had hoped to compete in the last two days of this round; by then, Little Tingbao would have finished molting, and she could use her cheat to add the remaining points to let it evolve.
It would be best if she could encounter a contestant with a General-tier pet beast in this round, so she could just let Little Tingbao take the field.
After all, there weren't many contestants left; if she didn't encounter one this round, the probability of encountering one in the next round would definitely be even smaller.
According to the information, besides the four Emperor-tier pet beasts, Gaston's remaining two were both King-tier pet beasts...
"Who is your opponent?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked quite leisurely while drinking her beverage.
"Gaston," Qiao Sang replied.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and said, "A student from the Imperial Class... Speaking of which, you were an exchange student at Imperial Dun before, do you know him?"
"How could I possibly know him?" Qiao Sang laughed. "I was just a student in a regular class back then; I didn't even know where the Imperial Class was."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala laughed as well. "Treating you as a regular student was truly Imperial Dun's biggest mistake. I imagine Gilbert hasn't been having an easy time lately."
Clearly, she also knew about the time Gilbert had rejected Qiao Sang's application for guaranteed admission.
Dean Gilbert? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. "Why?"
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled slightly and said nothing.
At the same time.
In another VIP room.
Dressed in black with slightly pale skin, the red-haired man saw the match list, and the leg he had been crossing instantly dropped, his expression turning ugly.
The middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle beside him patted his shoulder; everything was understood without words.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
The middle-aged man took out his phone, saw the caller ID, and his expression instantly became respectful. He stood up, walked to the window, and answered the call:
"Hello, Dean... Okay, okay, I will tell Gaston... We will definitely do our best... But you also know, Qiao Sang's strength is not to be underestimated; she is a strong contender for the championship in this year's Master Challenge... Okay, I understand..."
The middle-aged man hung up the phone with a grave expression.
"What did the Dean say?" Gaston asked.
The middle-aged man looked at him. "The Dean said whatever resources you need, just ask, as long as you can win this match."
"Those two from the Flame Class were both shut out by her; what do I have to win with?" Gaston said, and as he thought of something, his tone became dissatisfied. "Speaking of which, if Dean Gilbert hadn't rejected her guaranteed admission application back then, Qiao Sang would be one of our own at Imperial Dun now."
"The Dean is not someone you can talk about," the middle-aged man instinctively reprimanded.
However, after he finished reprimanding, he paused and continued, "The Dean was indeed wrong in this matter, but what's done is done, and it cannot be changed. Now that she is a student at the Imperial Beast Academy and our opponent, you must find a way to beat her."
Gaston let out a "Heh." "You tell me how to win."
The middle-aged man fell silent.
At this moment, the host on the commentary stage said loudly, "All the match lists for this round are out! Next, let's look at the time for each group's match! Who will take the stage today and become the first contestant to advance to the Top Ten!"
Both of them looked at the TV simultaneously.
The match times appeared one by one behind the match list.
Gaston was silent for two seconds and asked, "If I ask the Dean for resources now, will he give them to me?"
"Definitely," the middle-aged man said.
"If I still don't win the match after getting the resources, the Dean shouldn't do anything to me, right?" Gaston asked again.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you aren't shut out like those two from Flame Sky University, I believe the Dean won't do anything to you."
Gaston laughed. "Taking this opportunity to strengthen myself a bit doesn't seem bad either."
The match is the day after tomorrow... Qiao Sang looked at the time behind the list and began to calculate in her heart.
Including today, there are still three days to rest. By then, Little Tingbao will definitely have finished molting, and it's time to properly prepare for Little Tingbao's evolution...
"Super Xunxun..."
As thoughts flickered, Little Xiao Xunbao revealed a disappointed expression on the side.
It's not today...
"Yaya?"
Like Ya Bao didn't understand and called out impatiently, indicating when are we competing?
"The night after tomorrow," Qiao Sang said.
"Yaya..."
Today, tomorrow, the day after... Like Ya Bao calculated and let out a sigh.
Still several days away...
"Do you want to stay and watch the match, or go back to train?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Since we're already here, let's stay and watch the match for a while."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala did not object and said, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll have the waiter..."
Before she finished speaking, movement suddenly came from the side.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala turned her head and saw that Little Tingbao had woken up at some point and was twisting its body to molt.
Qiao Sang saw this scene as well, her eyes instantly lighting up, and she came to Little Tingbao's side.
"I'll call Teacher Yakelin over," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala realized and said immediately.
After speaking, she took out her phone.
In about a minute, Penjiamei appeared in the room with Teacher Yakelin.
Two more minutes passed, and Little Tingbao officially finished molting.
It scanned the surroundings, then its gaze fell on its own Beast Tamer, revealing a happy expression, and it called out:
"Tingting!"
Qiao Sang smiled and touched its head. "Congratulations on being one step closer to evolution."
"Tingting."
Little Tingbao rubbed its head against its Beast Tamer's hand.
It seems Little Tingbao is in a very good mood after finishing its molt this time... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.
At this moment, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala spoke up:
"Teacher Yakelin, help Lei Lei Nilong check."
Almost as soon as Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's voice came out, the happy expression on Little Tingbao's face disappeared visibly to the naked eye. It stopped rubbing its head, turned its head to look at Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, and its expression seemed to say: You want me to be checked, so I'll be checked?
Qiao Sang saw what Little Tingbao's expression was expressing and thought to herself, how come after molting, Little Tingbao seems even more annoyed with Teacher Mi Mi Jiala? She pretended on the surface that she hadn't seen anything, lifted Little Tingbao in front of Teacher Teacher Yakelin, and said, "Let the teacher check."
"Tingting..."
Little Tingbao cooperated and didn't move.
Teacher Yakelin opened the equipment she carried with her and quickly performed the check.
Time passed bit by bit.
The match had already started on the arena, and the audience seats were bustling with excitement, with screams and cheers erupting from time to time, but it didn't affect the room in the slightest.
I don't know how much time passed, but Teacher Yakelin put down the equipment and said, "There is no problem with the body, and the molting went very smoothly. However, just like the previous molting situation, it is not suitable to immediately perform training and battles; it needs to adapt for a period of time."
"About how much time does it need to adapt?" Qiao Sang asked.
"It depends on Lei Lei Nilong itself. Most Dragon-tier pet beasts are about three days at the high-tier stage," Teacher Yakelin said.
"Super Xunxun~" Little Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating that is exactly the time we are competing.
Little Tingbao's eyes suddenly lit up, but after thinking of something, they dimmed again.
"Do you want to go back now and check if Lei Lei Nilong's proficiency in the Thunder-Swallowing trait has improved?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.
Qiao Sang said without thinking, "It's better to wait until my match in this round is officially over before checking. Little Tingbao just finished molting; if it loses control while checking the Thunder-Swallowing trait and swallows something that hurts it, that wouldn't be good."
This was, of course, just an excuse. The truth was that although Little Tingbao's proficiency in the Thunder-Swallowing trait had increased, it was still only B-tier. As for traits, unless the tier is raised, no obvious changes can be detected at all, and checking would just be a waste of time.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at Penjiamei and said, "Then you send Teacher Yakelin back first."
Really throwing people away after using them... Teacher Yakelin quickly organized the equipment, picked it up, and revealed a smile. "I'll go back first. If there are any problems, contact me at any time..."
Before she finished speaking, Penjiamei's eyes glowed blue, and she disappeared from the spot with her.
At least let Teacher Teacher Yakelin finish her sentence... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
12:10 PM.
Villa.
"Super Xunxun~"
After Little Xiao Xunbao finished eating, it floated around Little Tingbao. After observing for a while, it called out with emotion, indicating Old Six, how come it feels like you've grown bigger again?
Before, Little Tingbao had been wearing the micro-shrinking bracelet, so nothing could be detected, but just now Little Tingbao turned off the micro-shrinking bracelet, and it could clearly feel that its body size had changed.
If it was about five meters before, now it feels like at least seven meters.
"Tingting."
Little Tingbao looked at Little Xiao Xunbao and called out, indicating Boss, I also feel like you've become smaller.
Little Xiao Xunbao: "..."
"Teacher Qingqingqing!"
Seeing Qingbao held its stomach on the side and laughed loudly.
Little Tingbao turned its head to look at it and called out:
"Tingting."
Old Five, you've also become smaller.
Seeing Qingbao's laughter stopped abruptly.
"Xunxunxun!"
Little Xiao Xunbao pointed at Seeing Qingbao and laughed loudly.
Seeing Qingbao looked at Little Xiao Xunbao expressionlessly, and at the same time, a violent wind raged around its body.
Little Xiao Xunbao quickly covered its mouth.
Seeing Qingbao let out a cold snort, its expression still unhappy, but the violent wind around it stopped.
Boss is strong, but a bit cowardly... Little Tingbao glanced at its Beast Tamer who was still eating, thought of something, and flew toward the full-length mirror.
Have I grown bigger...
At the dining table, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked while eating:
"Do you still want to go to the arena to watch the match this afternoon?"
"Not going," Qiao Sang drank a mouthful of soup and said, "I want to properly study Gaston."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala laughed. "Indeed, although he is not your opponent, one cannot be so certain about battles. Imperial Dun must want him to beat you; perhaps they will give him a large amount of resources these few days."
"Resources are resources, but they still need to be digested and absorbed," Qiao Sang said. "In three days, the Emperor-tier pet beast shouldn't be able to strengthen much. I'll still prepare the plan according to the information I found before."
After speaking, she thought of something and asked, "Besides saying that I would get 200,000 points if I didn't make the top three, did the Dean say anything else?"
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala laughed amusedly. "What do you want?"
Qiao Sang quickly proved her innocence. "I didn't want anything; I was just asking."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala laughed. "Whatever you want, as long as it's not too excessive, I believe the Dean will agree to it."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she instantly became spirited. "If I don't win the championship this time, can I ask the Dean to give me a Sun Crystal?"
Although her strength had increased greatly recently, she couldn't say she held 100% hope for winning the championship.
The original main plan to obtain a Sun Crystal was to prepare to get on good terms with strong championship candidates so she could make a trade, but once she started training, she forgot about this matter. It was finally time for the match, but she had no chance to encounter Contestant Laifeide and Selana.
Now that the match had reached the fifth round, she still hadn't gotten their contact information.
If there could be another plan to get a Sun Crystal, that would naturally be the best.
As for the Sun Crystal, why would there be a need to trouble the Dean... Teacher Mi Mi Jiala complained inwardly and said, "After you are eliminated, I will mention it to the Dean."
"... Can't you say it now?" Qiao Sang said.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said while picking up food, "The Dean has high hopes for you now. If I mention this, it might lower her impression of you."
Qiao Sang was stunned. "Does the Dean actually think I can win the championship?"
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said unhurriedly, "You shut out Xia Huo, who has five Emperor-tier pet beasts. It's normal for the Dean to think highly of you."
Qiao Sang was speechless and actually felt there was some truth to it.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala continued, "Prepare well for the match. If you really win the championship, I believe the Dean's reward won't just be 200,000 points and a pet beast with a Sovereign-tier limit."
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up again, she quickly finished the remaining rice in big mouthfuls, stood up, and said:
"I'm going to train first!"
After speaking, she turned her head and called out, "Little Xiao Xunbao, take everyone to train together."
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao's eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared from the spot with its Beast Tamer and Like Ya Bao and the others.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled and gave Penjiamei a look.
Penjiamei's eyes glowed blue, and she followed.
A desert place without green plants.
Qiao Sang found a place that wouldn't be affected, sat cross-legged, took out her phone, and posted a mission to find a pet beast with ten million volts.
Little Tingbao was already at the high-tier late stage. As long as she added the remaining points, it could evolve.
According to statistics, the Little Little Tinglong race has no pressure to evolve to high-tier when there are resources, but when it comes to General-tier, the number will plummet. It's not because resources are insufficient, but because the evolution conditions are too harsh for a high-tier pet beast.
That is to say, it must withstand an attack of ten million volts.
Ten million volts, an Electric-element super-tier skill. Almost no pet beast can withstand a super-tier skill at the high-tier stage, let alone an attack-type super-tier skill.
