Chapter 454: Qiao Sang VS Song Xinyue

【Zhitia Region, Zhou Shanliang VS Zhongkong Region, Zhu Yalin】

【Beilun Region, Tao Rong VS Tuwei Region, Li Zhenyu】

【Lianke Region, Zhang Lu VS Liao Xi Region, Cai Hangcheng】

【Guri Region, Ma Yiwen VS Dongjia Region, Pan Hao】

【Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang VS Lianbo Region, Song Xinyue】

The second stage of the national tournament has 33 groups, totaling 66 contestants.

When she saw her opponent, Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about the possibility of encountering Song Xinyue, she just never thought she would encounter her so soon...

"Song Xinyue..." Sun Boyi saw this name, turned his head, and said worriedly: "Qiao Sang, you know which pet beast you should send, right?"

Qiao Sang remembered Like Ya Bao wanting to battle the Fire-Covered Bird and nodded: "I know."

Sun Boyi looked at Liu Yao and felt relieved. Qiao Sang's comprehension ability was unquestionable; she must understand the implication in the question just now. Since she said so, she shouldn't send the Prairie Star Dog out again.

In the player area, about ten meters away from Qiao Sang, a middle-aged man with sparse hair said in a deep voice: "Change the tactics, you send the Fire-Covered Bird as the first one later."

"Okay." Hearing the coach's words, Song Xinyue nodded subconsciously.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment: "Don't you ask why?"

Song Xinyue asked: "Why?"

The middle-aged man: "..."

The middle-aged man said: "I have studied Qiao Sang's matches. She basically does a one-vs-two sweep and likes to use one pet beast to finish the match directly. Originally, I thought she would directly send out the Ice Kexilu that suppresses you in the national tournament, but after that encounter you had with her at the hotel, I think she will send out the Prairie Star Dog first."

Song Xinyue was stunned: "Why?"

Seeing Song Xinyue take the initiative to ask, the middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction:

"Geniuses are all proud, especially geniuses like Qiao Sang. You refused her at that time by saying that battling with Fire-type pet beasts with the Fire-Covered Bird had no challenge."

"The more you say that, the more she will want to use the Prairie Star Dog to battle the Fire-Covered Bird."

"Geniuses always feel that they are different from others. The more others think she can't, the more she wants to prove that she can."

"You only met a few days ago. She didn't recognize you at that time, but now she should have recognized you after seeing your photo."

"Even if she didn't intend to send the Prairie Star Dog originally, the moment she knows the opponent is you, she will change her mind."

No way, this is the national tournament. Who would send out a pet beast they have no confidence in winning just because of a moment of anger... But this person is Qiao Sang, so it's not entirely impossible. Even if the Prairie Star Dog loses, she still has another high-tier pet beast... Song Xinyue nodded:

"I know."

The match proceeded in an orderly manner until noon, when a man in a white suit stood on a Flying-type pet beast that was mostly white and appeared in mid-air, saying loudly:

"Next, let us invite Qiao Sang from the Yuhua Region and Song Xinyue from the Lianbo Region to enter!"

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Song Xinyue! Song Xinyue! Song Xinyue!"

Two kinds of voices sounded in the battle arena.

Some audience members who still remembered Qiao Sang's first match started whispering to each other.

"I said, how could the contestants participating in the national tournament not have cheerleaders? Aren't they here now!"

"It seems the last time was really a road block."

"Could it be that they didn't take the air route last time?"

"It's possible. I went to check. Qiao Sang's school is the first time a student has entered the national tournament, and it should also be the first time coming to the Zhongkong region. They probably didn't know about the air route."

"Qiao Sang and Song Xinyue, who do you think will win?"

"Do you even need to ask? It must be Qiao Sang. Two high-tier pet beasts, and one of them, Ice Kexilu, specifically suppresses Song Xinyue's Fire-Covered Bird."

"Speaking of Ice Kexilu, I went to understand it. I can't believe this is actually an endangered pet beast! And a god-tier healer at that! Why is it that we are all people, others can contract endangered pet beasts, while I have to promise my mom to wash dishes for a year to contract a Pipi egg worth 80,000!"

"Um, do you want to put the Pipi egg into the Beast Taming Canon before continuing..."

The boy who spoke originally lowered his head stiffly and looked at the Pipi egg on his knees.

"Pipi..."

"... I was wrong."

On the field, the whistle representing the summoning of pet beasts sounded at this moment.

Qiao Sang and Song Xinyue, who were already standing on their respective sides, formed seals with both hands at the same time.

Green star formations and gray star formations instantly appeared on the ground.

The next second, two pet beasts full of oppressive force appeared in the audience's view.

"Ya-ya!"

"Fire-Covered!"

The audience's gaze was involuntarily attracted to the pet beast with exceptionally gorgeous fur.

"Damn, what is this pet beast called? Growing up like this, it actually doesn't go to participate in the national campus pet beast coordination tournament!"

"The Yuhua region actually has such a pet beast that catches my eye! I've decided, the next one I contract will be it!"

"Don't think about it, the Prairie Star Dog is a new evolutionary form, there is only one at present, and the evolution conditions haven't been researched yet."

"!

!"

"Speaking of which, Qiao Sang might really lose this match. I remember Song Xinyue's Fire-Covered Bird's Flash Fire characteristic is super awesome, not afraid of any Fire-type skills at all."

"If she loses, she loses. Anyway, it's not our school."

"That's true."

At the same time, in the player area.

Sun Boyi's expression was dazed for a moment, unable to believe his eyes: "Prairie Star Dog?!"

He and the vice principal had reminded her so much, why did Qiao Sang still send out the Prairie Star Dog?!

Liu Yao was still calm. He sighed: "Qiao Sang must have her own ideas. Don't scold her when she comes back after the match."

How would I dare? If this precious baby feels wronged, you and the principal wouldn't skin me alive... Sun Boyi sighed heavily, looking quite haggard for a moment.

Looking at the pet beast with gorgeous fur in front of her, Song Xinyue thought the coach was god-like.

"Fire-Covered..."

The Fire-Covered Bird saw the opponent's appearance and revealed an uninterested expression.

Fire-type, huh...

"Ya-ya!"

Contrary to this was Like Ya Bao's excited expression.

The flames burning like small wings on its shoulders expanded slightly.

Qiao Sang clearly sensed Like Ya Bao's state.

Her expression became serious.

This match, cannot lose!

Soon, the referee announced the start of the match.

"Feather Dance!" Song Xinyue issued the command immediately.

"Fire-Covered!"

The Fire-Covered Bird flew into the air with a "whoosh". It flapped its wings hard, and a large piece of feathers emitting a faint white light fell toward the position where Like Ya Bao was.

Feather Dance, a mid-tier Flying-type skill, can lower the opponent's attack power... The introduction of Feather Dance flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, and she didn't issue a response command.

These past few days, she and Like Ya Bao had studied the Fire-Covered Bird thoroughly.

She didn't need to open her mouth at all; Like Ya Bao was enough to handle the scene before it.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao let out an excited cry looking at the feathers all over the sky.

The next second, one, two... A full hundred identical Prairie Star Dogs appeared in the air and on the ground!

"Fire-Covered..."

The Fire-Covered Bird looked at the scene before it and was dumbfounded.

Everyone except Qiao Sang was also dumbfounded. ===== CHAPTER 455 =====
