Chapter 51: Won?

There were many F-tier Beast Tamers who met the requirements to participate. After a full day of efficient battles yesterday, the preliminary competition hadn't ended yet.

However, there were only 60-something contestants left, and the preliminaries could be completed in at most an hour.

Qiao Sang arrived at Row 9, Zone C.

Bai Bai Yunmiao had also signed up for this Hundred-New Competition and successfully passed the preliminaries.

The two people who had both passed the preliminaries met up like this.

"Genius Qiao, I've inquired about it. Those who pass the preliminaries will have their order randomly shuffled on the big screen, and those paired together will be in the same group," Bai Bai Yunmiao said, pointing to the screen above the competition arena.

Ever since she learned Qiao Sang's name, Bai Bai Yunmiao had been calling her Genius Qiao online.

Qiao Sang nodded; this kind of battle randomly assigned by the system is also very common in various competitions.

"Why are you dressed so... beautifully today?" Qiao Sang asked.

To be precise, it should be grand.

Seeing Bai Bai Yunmiao sitting in her seat very ladylike, with full makeup and hair, a little black dress paired with a pair of bright-colored high heels, it was definitely an evening banquet outfit.

"Isn't this to look better on camera? I watched the replay of yesterday online, and it was simply a death shot. It filmed me too ugly, not even filming one-third of my beauty," Bai Bai Yunmiao complained.

Indeed, live broadcast cameras without filters are sometimes like demon-reflecting mirrors.

Bai Bai Yunmiao continued, "And there are half as many contestants today, so I feel there's a high probability I'll be interviewed."

Interview...

Qiao Sang remembered what just happened, felt a lump in her heart, and didn't want to speak...

Inside the competition arena, Qiao Sang unexpectedly saw someone she knew in the ninth group of preliminary contestants—Dai Dai Shushu.

If she hadn't seen her here, Qiao Sang would have almost forgotten her...

Dai Dai Shushu's pet beast wasn't one of the five major choices for rookie Beast Tamers, but a Water-Secreting Shrimp.

Not all water-attribute pet beasts are amphibious extraordinary creatures, and even if some can move freely on land, they basically can't exert their full strength.

Because of the limitations of the venue, very few Beast Tamers are willing to give their first contract slot to a water-attribute pet beast.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but watch seriously.

Undeniably, in her heart, she still regarded Dai Dai Shushu as a competitor.

56 seconds later.

"Contestant Chen Cheng wins."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time.

This was completely different from what she thought!

She hadn't even started analyzing Dai Dai Shushu and the Water-Secreting Shrimp's battle level, and the match had already ended!

The opponent's pet beast, the Little Fat Dove, hit the Water-Secreting Shrimp twice in a row, causing it to lose its fighting ability. It was completely an ordinary preliminary match that couldn't be more ordinary!

Is Dai Dai Shushu really that bad?!

Qiao Sang felt a bit dazed.

Why did she consider Dai Dai Shushu a formidable rival back then...

Qiao Sang tried hard to recall.

At that time, they were both self-awakened, and the difference was...

Cultural score...

Cultural score...

Dai Dai Shushu was indeed still a formidable rival...

Still the same efficient match speed as yesterday, in less than an hour, the list of all contestants who advanced in the preliminaries had already been logged into the system.

The photos of the contestants on the big screen in the center above the competition arena were frantically shuffling.

6 seconds later.

The photos froze.

All the groupings were arranged, and Qiao Sang saw her opponent inside.

The person in the photo had eyes the size of mung beans and a slightly receding hairline, with a face that looked older than his actual age.

Xie Xie Jianyin.

Qiao Sang recognized him at a glance; he was one of the 21 Beast Tamers she had recorded in her memo.

This luck is not bad, it didn't waste her hard research...

The competition to enter the top 64 soon kicked off.

The level of those who could pass the preliminaries was slightly higher than those who were eliminated, so the match duration also increased, from the original one minute per match to two or three minutes now to determine the winner.

"Who do you think has a better chance of winning in the battle between Contestant Qiao Sang and Contestant Xie Xie Jianyin?" the middle-aged commentator with a slicked-back hairstyle asked Sha Duo.

On the field, Qiao Sang and Xie Xie Jianyin had already stood still.

As a member of the third group of matches, Qiao Sang came to the backstage as soon as the first group of matches was announced to start.

Sure enough, it was her turn immediately...

"Contestant Xie Xie Jianyin has been an F-tier Beast Tamer for three years. Whether from experience or strength, he has a better chance of winning than Contestant Qiao Sang," Sha Duo said, expressing his insight.

"It's a pity, out of so many contestants, she happened to encounter someone with an intermediate-tier pet beast as an opponent."

"I remember Xie Xie Jianyin's pet beast is a Long-Tailed Snake."

"I feel heartbroken just thinking about such a good-looking little sister losing to such an ugly man."

"Others are only 18, they are a boy."

The audience at the scene started discussing, and the voices were all on Qiao Sang's side.

Although strength is emphasized now, in the situation where everyone is an F-tier Beast Tamer, everyone still supports the contestants with higher looks.

Moreover, everyone still had a fresh memory of the Fire-Tooth Dog contracted by Qiao Sang, because it was currently the only fire-attribute pet beast among the Beast Tamers participating in the Hundred-New Competition.

Following the referee's instruction to send out pet beasts, a gray star array lit up in front of Xie Xie Jianyin.

The Fire-Tooth Dog's energy gathered slightly in its body, immediately preparing itself.

Last night, it and its own Beast Tamer studied for a long time, and battle plans for whoever they encountered were all set.

Next, just wait for that dark-looking guy to appear...

On the gray star array, a pet beast appeared, entirely crimson, with an oval-shaped head and a black long stripe on its back connecting from the top of its head to the end of its tail.

Huh?

Why isn't it that dark-looking guy?

The Fire-Tooth Dog didn't understand.

Why is it different from what its own Beast Tamer said?

Qiao Sang was speechless looking at the opponent's pet beast.

Fire-Chain Snake, a beginner-tier fire-attribute pet beast.

She spent yesterday seriously studying the intermediate-tier pet beast Long-Tailed Snake for half a day, and he gave her a beginner-tier fire-attribute pet beast to compete with?

Knowing she only had one Fire-Tooth Dog, he still sent out a pet beast with the same attribute as the Fire-Tooth Dog.

This should be because he didn't take the Fire-Tooth Dog seriously...

Xie Xie Jianyin indeed didn't take the Fire-Tooth Dog seriously; to be precise, he didn't take Qiao Sang seriously.

His second pet beast, the Fire-Chain Snake, had already been contracted for two months.

As a Beast Tamer possessing two pet beasts, of course, both pet beasts should take turns on the field!

For a middle school graduate who just contracted a pet beast, whichever pet beast he summoned to deal with her would be more than enough.

As soon as the referee said start, Qiao Sang directly issued the instruction to act according to the original plan.

At the same time, Xie Xie Jianyin also issued the command for Flame Spray.

The Fire-Tooth Dog itself had energy brewing in its body.

So it released the skill faster than the Fire-Chain Snake.

Outside the field.

"This is a minor-achievement-level Spark!" the commentator couldn't help but be shocked.

While the Fire-Chain Snake's Flame Spray was still in its mouth, having just finished condensing and not even launched 10 centimeters, the Fire-Tooth Dog's Spark had already attacked directly toward the Flame Spray.

The two forces collided, emitting a violent explosion sound.

And the Fire-Chain Snake at the center of the explosion suffered a strong impact.

"Chain!!!"

The Fire-Tooth Dog didn't care that the Fire-Chain Snake had already flown backward and landed heavily on the ground; it directly used Shadow Clone to create four copies, preparing to surround it.

According to the tactics it and its own Beast Tamer had yesterday, next, it would first use two Shadow Clones to confuse the opponent, and the main body and another Shadow Clone...

"Contestant Qiao Sang wins!" the referee announced at this time.

"Ya?"

The Fire-Tooth Dog's Shadow Clones, which hadn't formed a encirclement yet, all stopped at once.

Won? ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
