Chapter 321: Are All Geniuses This Easy to Talk To?

The contestants who made it to the main tournament were all selected from numerous school team members who had undergone over two years of professional training.

The match length was very different from the preliminaries; basically every match lasted several minutes.

At first Little Xunbao stayed hidden, but later, infected by the atmosphere around it, it appeared and excitedly cheered on the contestant it was rooting for.

Because it was sitting on her head and blocking the audience behind her, Qiao Sang had no choice but to hold Little Xunbao in her arms.

"Have you gotten fatter again recently?" Qiao Sang asked, patting Little Xunbao's belly.

"Xunxun!"

Hearing this, Little Xunbao puffed out its already round belly even more, looking quite proud.

This was a sign it was getting stronger!

The corner of Qiao Sang's mouth twitched: "That's getting fat, not getting stronger."

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao pointed at the large bear-type pet beast on the field that was using the fat on its belly to bounce back the charge of a Flash Rat, its eyes burning with passion, indicating that sooner or later it would get that fat!

That thinking of yours is dangerous!

Qiao Sang watched the bear-type pet beast on the field rely on its bulk and thick skin to stand in place and let its opponent attack.

The thought of Little Xunbao wanting to be like it gave her quite a headache.

"This Violent Bear should be considered the toughest one in our group." Xu Yixuan, seeing Qiao Sang staring at the Violent Bear on the field, spoke up: "Don't think it's just standing there taking hits without fighting back—that's because it knows Furious Fist."

The moment the words fell, the Violent Bear on the field let out a roar, drew back its right fist, thrust its chest forward, its upper body tensing like a taut bow, and a powerful energy gathered in its fist.

Immediately after, it swung its fist heavily at the Flash Rat, which was wrapped in electric current and charging straight at it.

The Flash Rat flew out and collapsed with its eyes closed.

"Xun!"

Little Xunbao gave a start, clearly startled by how the Violent Bear had suddenly gone from passive defense to such violent offense.

Qiao Sang instinctively began analyzing in her mind.

Furious Fist can convert anger into power for an attack; the more times it's hit, the stronger the move becomes.

The easiest way to win is to break through its defense in one hit, not giving it a chance to use this move.

And among her three little ones, the one with enough attack power to one-shot the Violent Bear seemed to be only Like Ya Bao......

Watching the Flash Rat being carried out on a stretcher, Xu Yixuan sighed: "The Violent Bear's attack speed is quite a bit faster than when I last saw it. I reckon the only ones who can beat this Liu Zeru are probably just the three of us."

Liu Zeru, that is, the beast tamer of the Violent Bear.

"Don't speak too soon." He Datao said cautiously.

Ever since he lost two matches to Pinghai High School in the preliminaries, he had remained cautious until now.

Xu Yixuan glanced at him and said nothing.

As fellow Gao San students both participating in the last National Campus Beast Taming League, she could understand He Datao's current mindset.

"Senior He's right." Qiao Sang agreed: "I also think it's not just us—there should be others who can win."

Xu Yixuan: "......"

He Datao: "......"

That's not what he meant!

The matches proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Half an hour later, as a boy whose bangs covered his eyes walked in, the voice on the broadcast noticeably grew excited: "Let's welcome Wu Chang from Huicheng Beast Taming High School and Huang Xiaoting from Hanggang No. 9 Beast Taming High School!"

Almost everyone in the school watching the matches on the field went wild, all shouting one person's name.

"Wu Chang! Wu Chang!"

"Wu Chang! Go for it!"

"Wu Chang! You have to win!"

"Wu Chang, you're the best! Wu Chang, you're the strongest!"

Xu Yixuan looked around, envious: "It's really different competing at your own school. How come I don't have this luck? I've competed in two sessions and never once been assigned to my own school."

"Unbelievable." Qiao Sang stared at the boy walking in, completely shocked: "This guy's luck is really unbelievable......"

Seeing this expression on Qiao Sang for the first time, Xu Yixuan couldn't help but say: "Actually...... the odds of being assigned to compete at your own school aren't zero. Your expression is a bit exaggerated."

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and said seriously: "Remember when I told you about that 'Child of Fortune'?"

Xu Yixuan was stunned for a moment: "The one who picks up money every couple of steps? Picks up money four or five times in half a minute? Money flies right to his face?"

"That's him." Qiao Sang nodded.

Xu Yixuan: "!

Xu Yixuan was shocked for a long while: "Someone this outrageous actually exists in real life?!"

"I didn't want to believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday." Qiao Sang said.

"Could it be that his pet beast has some ability that brings good luck?" Xu Yixuan guessed.

"Not sure." Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: "But we can't rule out that possibility."

This person's luck really was abnormal. When she realized this yesterday, she took a photo of that dark blue bird-type pet beast and searched it online.

The result showed it was a Perception Bird from the Lianke region, the mid-stage form of the Vision Bird she had seen before that could share vision.

It had nothing to do with any luck-related skills.

But since he was a Gao San school team member, he should have another pet beast.

Perhaps it was this second pet beast's ability that brought him his good luck.

Under Qiao Sang's gaze, both sides formed hand seals, and Wu Chang summoned a pet beast that looked terribly familiar—a Desert Tail Fox.

Qiao Sang was stunned.

Desert Tail Fox?

Come to think of it, that luck wasn't from the beast's ability — it was really this guy's own innate trait?!

In the main tournament stage, the field is changed for every match.

After both sides summoned their beasts, the ground sank. Two seconds later, a field covered in sand, gravel, and several craters rose back up to the surface.

This field was clearly well-suited for the Desert Tail Fox to battle on.

With the home advantage and a compatible arena, Wu Chang easily won two matches amid the crowd's cheers.

That luck is just too abnormal... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly for the nth time, glanced at the match list, stood up, waved her hand to recall Little Treasure Hunter into the Beast Codex, and strode onto the field.

"Let's welcome Qiao Sang from Sacred Water Middle School and Lei Lei from Chongzhou Beast-Taming High School!"

The moment the announcement came out, a buzz of discussion rose on all sides.

Though there wasn't as thunderous a cheer as when Wu Chang appeared, nearly everyone was talking about it.

"Sacred Water Middle School! This is my first time seeing a student from Sacred Water Middle School!"

"I heard this Qiao Sang is a first-year!"

"Flame Listener Dog! I hope she sends out the Flame Listener Dog!"

"Look at other people! I heard she just started her first year of high school and already made it onto the Gao San school team to represent the school in competition — and then look at you! Same first year, and you still failed three subjects on the last exam! How is the gap so huge?!" In the audience, a parent said to the boy beside him, frustrated that his child wouldn't live up to expectations.

The boy weakly retorted, "I heard this Qiao Sang's grades aren't that great either..."

"Bullshit! If her grades were bad, could she have gotten into Sacred Water Middle School?!"

"..."

Meanwhile.

On the field.

"I hope you'll send out the Flame Listener Dog," Lei Lei said.

He didn't have any ulterior motive — he just wanted to battle the only Flame Listener Dog currently in the world.

Qiao Sang nodded without a moment's thought. "Okay."

That genuinely caught Lei Lei off guard for a beat.

Are geniuses really this easy to talk to?!

The referee gave the command to summon beasts.

Qiao Sang formed hand seals.

Beneath a green star array, Little Treasure Hunter appeared on it.

"Treasure~"
