Chapter 324: Hoping Her Family Can Get Her Out

"What is this person saying?" someone asked in confusion.

"An endangered beast! Qiao Sang's third beast is an endangered beast!" Another competitor who had just finished checking his information was red-faced and thick-necked, hands trembling and feet shaking—agitation pushed to the absolute extreme.

That voice was like a firecracker whose fuse had just been lit: first it stunned the entire audience section, then set it completely ablaze.

From parents to students, from leaders to competitors, from ordinary people to beast tamers, everyone erupted.

The entire Huicheng Beast-Taming High School instantly exploded with deafening uproar.

"Holy shit… holy shit holy shit holy shit!"

"Endangered beast? Is it the kind of endangered beast I'm thinking of?!"

"Ahhhhhhh! Mom! I saw an endangered beast!"

"What's this beast called?!"

"Binglu Qiya! It's called Binglu Qiya!"

"I don't understand! Why can Qiao Sang contract an endangered beast! Why!"

"This kid is incredible! Contracting even an endangered beast! A god among men!"

"Really?! Is this real?!"

"Just look it up online yourself!"

"Impossible!" In the back row of the audience, Old Li almost reflexively cried out.

"Holy shit, bro, you scared the hell out of me!" The person sitting beside him seemed to have only just realized someone was there. He patted his chest to calm his poor little heart and said in an understanding tone:

"I know it's hard to believe, I don't believe it either, but I just looked it up—this really is an endangered beast, and from the Ancient Mist region too."

A high school student contracted an endangered beast, and from another region at that.

Does this make any sense?

You wouldn't even dare dream this up!

Old Li didn't want to believe it, but all that reached his ears were exclamations of shock.

One person might be an idiot who looked up the wrong info, but surely not everyone could be idiots who looked up the wrong info!

Old Li shakily took out his phone and typed in the four characters "Binglu Qiya."

Found it!

Old Li tapped open the picture, hands trembling as he held up his phone to compare the photo with the pale-blue beast on the field.

The white mist on the field happened to clear, but the pale-blue beast was nowhere to be seen.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

"Where's Binglu Qiya?!"

"Where's my Binglu Qiya?!"

"Help! The endangered beast is gone!"

"Call the police, call the police now!"

"Don't panic, don't panic! The data says Binglu Qiya has a water-melting trait—it must have melted into water!"

"But there's no water on the field!"

"Other people's water-type beasts can make some!"

Just as this person guessed, Lubao, while using water mist to conceal its figure, sprayed a line of water on the ground and leapt in, vanishing without a trace.

Qiao Sang calmly watched the situation on the field.

To say something that would stab Lubao right in the heart—Lubao really was the weakest of her three beasts.

During the preliminaries she wasn't sure of everyone's level, so she sent out Like Ya Bao and Little Xunbao to fight a sure-win battle.

Now that the preliminaries were over, she had studied the top scorers in the province. Like Ya Bao and Little Xunbao would be fine, but with Lubao facing them, it really was hard to say.

It's true Lubao has Healing Light, but what it restores is only status, not energy. ….

A beast without energy can do nothing but take a beating.

In plain terms, Healing Light's recovery effect in battle isn't all-powerful.

It's just like playing a game—having only HP but no mana, what's the difference from a minion?

And once this HP is gone, mana won't restore it either.

The National Campus Beast-Taming League, from provincial to regional to the finals, lasts three months in total.

The provincial rounds are the easiest and simplest; later, in the regional rounds, the opponents will only get stronger.

Lu

Bao's actual combat experience is really too little.

Don't be fooled by Lubao doing combat training during this period—it actually wasn't much use.

When Xu Yixuan and the others saw their opponent was Lubao, they'd subconsciously go easy and not fight seriously, so Lubao's improvement in actual combat was nowhere near as fast as Like Ya Bao and the others'.

If she didn't get it out on the field to gain more combat experience and get stronger fast, by the time the later rounds came and Lubao had to fight, the outcome would be a bit uncertain.

Xu Yixuan was undoubtedly a good opponent. During normal training she was lazy and sluggish, never getting into the zone quickly, but during the preliminaries it wasn't hard to see she'd quickly adjust based on her opponent's strength.

This was a proper group match now—Xu Yixuan should get serious like she said she would…… Qiao Sang watched the movement on the field and suddenly spoke: "Now!"

"Lu."

From a small puddle of water behind the Fireflame Dog, Lubao's figure suddenly shot out. Its tail was already wrapped in water flow as it whipped it over viciously.

Xu Yixuan didn't issue a command. In the nick of time, the Fireflame Dog split into two, performing Shadow Clone and becoming two.

【New chapters update slowly—finally there's a solution here, download it at 能的上, and check this book's latest chapters across multiple sites simultaneously.】

The Water Tail whipped at empty air.

Xu Yixuan was now in an extremely conflicted state.

On one hand, she really couldn't bring herself to attack Binglu Qiya harshly, terrified that one mishap would land her in a police station.

On the other hand, she clearly knew this was her last National Campus Beast-Taming League, and playing seriously was the only way to respect both herself and her opponents.

"Fire!"

The Burning Fire Dog suddenly barked with a serious expression.

Xu Yixuan took a deep breath. That's right — hadn't all this training been for this very moment!

She just hoped her family could bail her out when the time came!

"Blazing Charge!"

The two identical Burning Fire Dogs suddenly burst into flames and charged ferociously at Lu Bao, who was not far away.

Watching the Burning Fire Dogs rush toward her, Lu Bao remained unhurried, leaped up, and vanished on the spot.

One of the Burning Fire Dogs crashed into a boulder, shattering it and sending fragments flying everywhere.

It was the water left over from the Water Tail's overflow… Xu Yixuan glanced at the puddles on the ground without thinking long: "Sweep the ground!"

At the same moment, Qiao Sang shouted: "The one on the left!"

It was common knowledge that a pet beast's clone was fragile — it would basically vanish from even a little damage — yet the Burning Fire Dog on the left had smashed a boulder to pieces and still hadn't disappeared.

There were two possibilities: either it was a decoy, or it was the real body.

Qiao Sang judged in an instant that this was the real body.

Xu Yixuan's Burning Fire Dog only knew Shadow Clone, not Substitution — this was the benefit of having intel.

"Lu!"

Lu Bao suddenly darted out from behind the Burning Fire Dog on the left, her water-wrapped tail lashing down heavily once again!

"Fire!"

The Burning Fire Dog, which had been gathering energy to release flames at the ground, failed to dodge, took the hit head-on, and let out a miserable cry.

Because of the heavy damage destabilizing its energy, the other Burning Fire Dog not far away vanished on the spot.

Having struck a Fire-type Burning Fire Dog that also resembled Ya Bao in build, Lu Bao's mouth curved up unconsciously.

With that little smile, the scene once again slipped a little out of control.

Add scallions for me.
