Chapter 1497: Ice Kingdom

Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao walked out of the Foreign Personnel Review Office.

"Xun xun?"

Little Xiao Xunbao floated over, showing an surprised expression, and called out, indicating it was so fast?

Qiao Sang said "Hmm" and said: "The examiner saw that I was an A-level Beast Tamer and let me through directly."

"Yaya."

Like Ya Bao nodded in agreement.

Qiao Sang took out her phone to check the time and found there was about an hour left until 3:00 PM, so she couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, where are we going next?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala thought for a moment and said: "The Ten Ice Competition Hall. It is said that an ice sculpture competition is being held there today. If Little Xiao Xunbao wants to participate in such competitions later, it can go see what it's all about first."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao showed an interested expression.

Ice sculpture? Little Xiao Xunbao definitely couldn't do it. This country is full of ice sculpture masters. Even if Little Xiao Xunbao participated in a small ice sculpture competition, it wouldn't be able to get into the top ten... Qiao Sang complained inwardly and asked:

"Can we get in without buying tickets in advance?"

"No need," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said, "The Ice Kingdom holds similar competitions every so often. This isn't considered a very large competition, so we can buy tickets even if we go now."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang didn't say anything more and nodded: "Okay."

Ten minutes later.

Inside the large competition hall made entirely of ice sculptures, the cold air was piercing.

In the spectator stands, the audience was sparsely seated, only about half full.

Section E, Row 23.

Qiao Sang, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, and Like Ya Bao and the others sat side-by-side on ice-made seats.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while and jumped onto its Beast Tamer's lap.

Lubao rarely took the initiative to crawl out of the backpack and came to sit on a chair.

On the field, nearly a hundred ice sculptors were carving ice sculptures simultaneously.

Some had pet beasts, and there was even an ice sculpture nearly a hundred meters tall being carved by a person and three pet beasts together.

Qiao Sang scanned the scene on the field and sighed: "This isn't considered a very large ice sculpture competition?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled: "It doesn't count. The largest ice sculpture competition in the Ice Kingdom is basically held during the coldest climate of the year. At that time, ice sculptors from all over the world will come, and those participating will all be high-level ice sculptors."

Qiao Sang gestured with her eyes toward the direction of the ice sculpture being carved by a person and pet beasts together and asked: "Why are some ice sculptures being carved by people and pet beasts together?"

"Because this person is both an ice sculptor and a Beast Tamer," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala popularized: "If it's a Beast Tamer, they are allowed to have their contracted pet beasts carve together during the process. Therefore, many pet beasts in the Ice Kingdom hope to find a powerful human ice sculptor to contract with directly, so they can participate in some large ice sculpture competitions without much effort."

My Beast Tamer really needs to learn some knowledge, otherwise she keeps asking this annoying human... Little Tingbao listened to the conversation from the side, glanced at its Beast Tamer, and thought to itself.

Qiao Sang didn't notice Little Tingbao's psychological activity at all and frowned:

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be unfair during ice sculpture competitions?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said slowly: "Pet beasts are part of a Beast Tamer's strength. Joint ice sculpting is like a Beast Taming group battle; it requires seamless cooperation to win the competition. Sometimes, joint ice sculpting by a Beast Tamer and pet beasts is actually much more difficult than individual ice sculpting by a person or a pet beast."

Qiao Sang subconsciously imagined Lubao carving ice sculptures with ease thanks to its exquisite skills, but with herself and Like Ya Bao added, the ice sculpture work was instantly destroyed. She felt deeply in agreement:

"Joint ice sculpting does seem to have a high difficulty."

"Gangquan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gangbao's voice sounded in her mind.

Lubao can also do ice sculpting? How come it didn't know?

"It can't," Qiao Sang responded in her mind: "It's just that Lubao is Ice-type. Among you all, if anyone were to do ice sculpting, Lubao's image is the most suitable, so I just imagined it."

Gangbao: "..."

"Xun xun!"

Just as Qiao Sang and Gangbao were communicating, Little Xiao Xunbao showed an interested expression and called out, indicating it wanted to participate in this competition!

I knew it... Qiao Sang said tactfully:

"There are so many professional ice sculptors in the Ice Kingdom, and everyone has years or even decades of ice sculpting experience. Even if you participate, you probably won't get a very high ranking."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating it didn't matter; it would be fine if it got tenth place.

In its view, tenth place was already a very low ranking.

Qiao Sang: "..."

I feel like you wouldn't even get tenth place... Qiao Sang complained inwardly while watching the scene of the contestants carving on the field. Suddenly, she thought of something and continued tactfully:

"Look at everyone carving; they are basically using their own skills. You don't seem to have any skills suitable for ice sculpting."

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao looked at the field and saw that, except for the individual human contestants, the rest of the pet beast contestants and human-pet beast combinations were indeed using skills to carve.

Flower-type pet beasts were using leaves glowing with green light to carve, mantis-type pet beasts were using sickle-like claws to carve, snake-type pet beasts were using their teeth to gnaw and carve...

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said: "Pet beast sculptors are indeed basically using skills to carve, so they can carve more handily."

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao recalled its skills and found that it really didn't seem to have any skills suitable for carving, so it couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Ting ting."

At this moment, Little Tingbao looked at a contestant on the field and called out, indicating Boss, I remember you know this skill.

Little Xiao Xunbao looked in that direction, and where its gaze fell, a muscular Fighting-type pet beast had claws glowing with rich white light, using the Brick Break skill to carve ice.

"Xun xun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao's eyes suddenly lit up, and it called out, indicating it could also use Brick Break to carve ice!

Qiao Sang's mouth twitched, and she said:

"The Brick Break skill is not suitable for carving fine details."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the muscular Fighting-type pet beast on the field didn't control its strength well, and with a "crack," the ice sculpture split directly into two halves.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao sighed.

"Ting ting."

Little Tingbao pondered and called out, indicating the contestant on the field was like that because it was large in size and its claws were also large, but Boss is small in size and its claws are smaller, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Little Xiao Xunbao glanced at Little Tingbao, thinking to itself why this sounded like it couldn't be happy...

"Xun xun..."

However, a moment later, Little Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating it felt Lao Liu's words made sense.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds and finally compromised: "You can sign up for an ice sculpture competition to try, but don't spend too much time. If you feel it's not suitable, stop. You have many other competitions you can participate in."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao nodded.

An hour later, the group of figures appeared out of thin air in a five-star hotel.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala completed the check-in and took the sightseeing elevator upward with Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others.

Qiao Sang stood in the elevator, looking at the scene in the lobby below, and said:

"This hotel doesn't seem to have that many Ice-type pet beasts."

Whether it was the ice sculpture competition site or on the road, 80% were almost all Ice-type pet beasts, while the pet beasts in this hotel only accounted for about 30%.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked down and said:

"This is a hotel specifically for receiving foreign tourists. Many hotels in the Ice Kingdom are made of ice. Even if they aren't made of ice, there are no heating items inside. This hotel is the most suitable for Xia, for us to stay."

During the conversation, the elevator reached the top floor.

"Xun xun~"

Walking into the suite, Little Xiao Xunbao took off the ring for the first time and pulled out the water tank that Lubao needed.

"Ice Saint."

Lubao pointed to a location.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao diligently helped move it over.

After placing the water tank, it looked at Lubao with sparkling eyes.

"Ice Saint?"

Lubao looked at it and called out, indicating did you have something you wanted to say?

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao grinned and called out, indicating could you help make some ice cubes for the next period of time.

Lubao didn't say a word, and visible cold air rose around its body.

The next second, five square ice cubes of the same size condensed in front of it.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao called out happily.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa, checked her phone for a long time, and said:

"It seems there are no competition prizes in the Ice Kingdom recently that are Ice Glaze Fruit."

"Ice Glaze Fruit is a material needed by Emperor-tier Ice-type pet beasts; it's not common even in the Ice Kingdom, so it's normal that there are no such competition prizes for a while," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said while setting out the flowers and plants she had prepared long ago: "Ice Glaze Fruit doesn't necessarily have to be found among competition prizes; there are other channels to obtain it. You can post a task to find Ice Glaze Fruit at the Beast Taming Center in the Ice Kingdom. Anyway, we have a long time to wait next."

"Understood," Qiao Sang said, then opened the official website of the Beast Taming Center and posted the relevant task.

"Yaya!"

Suddenly, Like Ya Bao called out, indicating it wanted to go train.

Penjiamei's body stiffened, and it silently moved to the side, trying to minimize its presence.

Qiao Sang finished posting the task, put down her phone, and asked: "Teacher, does this hotel have an outdoor training ground?"

"No," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said, "But there is a public outdoor training ground less than a hundred meters away. You can go there to train."

Qiao Sang navigated directly and said:

"I'll take Like Ya Bao and the others to train first."

Positioning successful, Qiao Sang placed her phone in front of Little Xiao Xunbao and said: "Let's go, we're going here."

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao pointed to the ice cubes on the ground and called out, indicating it wanted to practice ice sculpting.

Qiao Sang said: "You can practice at the training ground; the temperature outside is low, and the ice won't melt easily."

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao showed an "it makes sense" expression.

Its eyes glowed with blue light.

At this moment, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala suddenly remembered something and said:

"Meimei, you go along too; Like Ya Bao needs your help training."

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao called out, indicating let's go together, let's go together!

Penjiamei: "..."

"Qiu qiu."

Qiubugu hurriedly called out, indicating it also wanted to go; it wanted to accompany Lubao to train.

Lubao glanced at it, which counted as tacit consent.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao's eyes flickered with blue light.

Immediately after, the group of figures along with the five ice cubes vanished out of thin air, leaving only Teacher Mi Mi Jiala and Xiaoxiaopi in the suite.

Xiaoxiaopi glanced at Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, then looked at the slightly empty living room, and sighed.

Staying with this human is so boring...

Outdoor training ground.

Gangbao's body slowly grew larger.

The people and pet beasts around glanced at the white light and Qiubugu, which were gradually growing larger, realized something, and quickly evacuated.

Soon, only Like Ya Bao and the others remained at the outdoor training ground.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao was on the side, its claws glowing with rich white light, controlling its strength, focusing on carving the ice cubes.

"Gangsai."

Before long, Gangbao finished evolving.

With the evolution, its aura leaked out.

The air and the ground trembled simultaneously.

Penjiamei and Qiubugu, who were helping with training, sensed something and looked over with stunned expressions.

At the same time, with several "crack" sounds, all five ice cubes shattered.

Little Xiao Xunbao: "!!!"

Little Xiao Xunbao turned its head, looked angrily at Gangbao, and was just about to speak.

But at this moment, Gangbao glanced at it indifferently.

Little Xiao Xunbao felt as if its hair was standing on end. With a jolt, it quickly turned its head away.

"Xun xun..."

When it realized it had actually been scared by Lao Si's aura, Little Xiao Xunbao felt a bit unhappy and forced itself to look at Gangbao again.

Just as it looked over, white light rose on Gangbao again, and its body slowly shrank.

The air and the ground returned to calm, no longer trembling.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao felt a sense of relief for no reason.

Immediately after, it showed an envious expression.

Emperor-tier pet beasts are so majestic...

It wondered when it could become Emperor-tier...

A moment later, Gangbao returned to the appearance of the Steel Fist Emperor.

Qiao Sang looked at it and asked: "Did you leak some Dominator Aura just now?"

It wasn't that she hadn't seen Emperor-tier pet beasts; Penjiamei and Qiubugu were, but they didn't make the air vibrate like Gangbao did the moment it appeared.

She remembered that when Gangbao evolved temporarily last time, this situation didn't happen.

"Gangquan."

Gangbao thought for a moment and nodded.

It should be.

Qiao Sang asked again: "Can you not control Dominator Aura yet?"

"Gangquan."

Gangbao glanced at its Beast Tamer and called out, indicating it only had a few seconds of evolution time, so it didn't have time to control it.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said with a straight face:

"You can try to control it every time you evolve temporarily in the future, preferably like Oppressive Presence, achieving mastery over it."

"Gangquan."

Gangbao nodded.

If this continues, it might not work. The duration Gangbao maintains temporary evolution is still too short. To try to control Dominator Aura and try to successfully use Gravity Rewrite, it's estimated it will take a long time before she can ask Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala the questions she wants to ask... Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

"Gangquan."

Gangbao called out in her mind, indicating if you can't wait, we can trick her.

Qiao Sang suddenly raised her head and locked eyes with Gangbao.

Then, the human and beast smiled at each other.

"Like Ya Bao, you guys train first. I'll take Gangbao to a nearby field to try temporary evolution again," Qiao Sang looked at Like Ya Bao and the others who were training and said: "Otherwise, the ice cubes Little Xiao Xunbao wants to carve will shatter again."

She said this mainly for Penjiamei and Qiubugu to hear.

"Xun xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao looked moved.

Its Beast Tamer is so thoughtful.

Two hours later.

The group of figures appeared out of thin air in the hotel suite.

A table of food was set on the dining table.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala sat by the dining table, just about to speak.

But at this moment, Qiao Sang said with a face full of pleasant surprise:

"Teacher! Gangbao awakened Gravity Rewrite!"

"Gangquan!"

Gangbao's face was full of happiness, and it nodded.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "???" ===== CHAPTER 1498 =====
