Chapter 709: Little Xunbao vs. Ice-Armored Monster

The group chat Dorothy posted in was a large one, containing students from every grade level of the Beast Taming Department.

As soon as this message was sent, everyone started bubbling up:

【Is that the freshman Qiao Sang who entered the Top 100 Ranking?】

【Damn it! Which guy from the fifth year is it? How did they end up ahead of me!】

【Is the news accurate?】

【Where is the battle location? Please report it; I'm preparing to go watch.】

【Count me in.】

【What is the battle mode being used?】

【The battle mode requested must be 1v1. Qiao Sang has two General-tier pet beasts; anyone with a brain wouldn't request 3v3.】

There are two types of battle modes for the Top 100 Ranking: 1v1 single-pet battles and 3v3 full-roster battles.

Which mode is conducted depends primarily on the challenger's wishes.

Of course, if the challenged party does not agree, the battle request can be completely refused.

However, to prevent those on the Top 100 Ranking from constantly refusing battles to maintain their rank, the school requires students on the list to select one applicant for a battle within a certain time limit.

If the deadline passes, they will be automatically removed from the Top 100 Ranking.

While the group chat was buzzing with heated discussion, Hadro stood up abruptly: "I'm going to find the notary teacher!"

After saying this, he walked quickly out of the lecture hall.

Dorothy put down her phone and leaned in to ask:

"What battle mode did he choose?"

"It's a 1v1 battle," Qiao Sang said.

She didn't even need to check specifically; the seniors who requested battles all wanted the 1v1 mode, without exception.

"Then aren't you at a big disadvantage?" Dorothy frowned.

A single General-tier pet beast is basically the strongest combat power one can have during an undergraduate degree at Yushulian.

There are a batch of fourth and fifth-year students who have General-tier pet beasts, but as far as she knows, Qiao Sang is the only one with two.

If it were a 3v3 battle mode, Qiao Sang would definitely win steadily, but a 1v1 battle mode is a bit hard to say.

She had learned a bit about these battles; it is said that almost all of them are 3v3 full-roster PKs, and very few people choose 1v1 battles.

That senior just now clearly knew Qiao Sang had two General-tier pet beasts, which is why he chose this battle mode.

Qiao Sang didn't even know the opponent's information, yet she agreed to the 1v1 battle mode so readily—is she being too confident... Dorothy felt a bit worried.

Gossip aside, from the bottom of her heart, she still hoped this monster beside her could win.

Regardless, Qiao Sang crushed all the freshmen during the entrance assessment; if she were to lose so casually to a senior, it would make their freshman class look like their combat power was too trashy.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said calmly:

"Only those who aren't sure of winning would feel at a disadvantage."

She wasn't blindly confident; she had simply learned about the strength of Aier Anannuo beforehand.

That fellow had been at the bottom of the Top 100 Ranking, and apart from him, none of the others challenging her were on the Top 100 list, which meant their strength was even worse than his.

Aier Anannuo only had one General-tier pet beast.

That meant no matter how strong the challenger was, they would only send out a General-tier pet beast.

With the pet beasts at the same tier, she had enough confidence in Like Ya Bao and Little Xunbao.

After all, no one else could have their pet beasts master so many Profound Truth-level skills during their university years like she could.

Hearing this, Dorothy was slightly moved, sighing inwardly:

That is truly the speech of a big shot...

During the first break, the indoor battle arena exclusive to the Beast Taming Department was packed with people.

Top 100 Ranking battles have always been deeply favored by the Beast Taming Academy.

Not to mention that today's combatant had quite a "legendary" color to him—entering the Top 100 Ranking as a freshman right after entering school, and provoking and crushing all the freshmen during the entrance assessment; no matter which point it was, it aroused everyone's intense interest.

In the southwest spectator section, Aier Anannuo, wearing a black windbreaker, looked toward the arena with a serious expression, extremely focused.

"Weren't you supposed to be training? How did you find the time to come?"

The one speaking was the blonde senior who had shouted out Qiao Sang's identity in the special area earlier.

"I'm about to battle Qiao Sang, so naturally, I have to come and understand her strength," Aier said.

The blonde senior raised an eyebrow:

"Are you that sure Qiao Sang can win?"

Aier analyzed rationally: "I've watched the video of Qiao Sang's freshman assessment; her Yanqilu's Fire Meteor Shower definitely reached the proficiency of a Profound Truth. If Dean Gilbert Heron hadn't stopped it in time, the Maintenance Department and the Medical Department would have been busy to death."

"Hadro is in the same class as me; I know his strength clearly. If Qiao Sang sends out Yanqilu, he definitely won't be able to hold on."

The blonde senior pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with a strange expression:

"You know this, and Hadro should know it too, so why did he still apply for the battle?"

Aier glanced at her silently.

The blonde senior suddenly realized: "It was you who told Hadro to go!"

Aier nodded expressionlessly:

"I only have the battle video of Qiao Sang's freshman assessment, and the shooting distance was too far, and it wasn't clear. I must understand her true strength before the battle."

Insidious... the blonde senior sighed inwardly and asked:

"Then you didn't know her strength a few days ago, so why were you always going to the special area trying to find her for a battle?"

Al said, waving his hand, "Isn't it because we didn't know her strength at the time?"

The blonde senior was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and let out a "tsk."

On the battle field.

Holy crap, so many people came, why does it feel like a competition... Qiao Sang muttered to herself, listening to the commotion around her.

At this moment, a clear and articulate voice came through the loudspeaker:

"Please summon your pet beasts simultaneously."

The teacher speaking wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and sat at a wooden table outside the boundary line of the field.

In front of him was a pet beast about 50 centimeters tall, wearing a white micro-shrinking bracelet on its claw, with a triangular head and a pet beast with launch-port-like holes on the horns extending to both sides.

"Fa fa."

As soon as the words fell, this triangular-headed pet beast picked up the green flag on its claw and waved it forward.

Qiao Sang and Harold both performed hand seals with both hands at the same time.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

"Xun xun~"

Soon, Little Xunbao appeared in the star array.

Qiao Sang had decided to send out Little Xunbao before the battle, so she had stored it in her Beast Taming Tome beforehand.

Little Xunbao's strength was not weak, and its training during this period had also brought many skills to the Profound Truth level.

Ever since it evolved into the Ghost Ring King, it hadn't had a decent battle.

Plus, during this recent period, every time she called Little Xunbao, its reaction was always a few beats slow.

Qiao Sang seriously suspected it was caused by playing on the computer for too long, so she wanted it to use its brain and recover some focus in this battle.

Ice Armor Monster, a Super Star Ice-type General-tier pet beast, whose body, which looks like ice, is actually as hard as steel, and it moves by using its huge body to crush everything in its path... Qiao Sang looked into the distance at the pet beast, which was about six meters tall, looked like a turtle, had amber pupils, and cylindrical limbs covered in sharp spikes, and relevant information appeared in her mind.

After this period of study, her knowledge base had expanded quite a bit, and she could recognize most of the pet beasts on Super Star without having to look up information specifically.

It actually didn't send out Yan Qilu... In the audience, Al frowned slightly as he looked at the Ghost-type pet beast on the field.

"Xun xun..."

At the same time, Little Xunbao looked at its opponent in the distance, its expression somewhat nervous.

It felt that because it had been playing on the computer recently, its Beast Tamer no longer had the same excited emotions as before.

If it lost this battle, would its Beast Tamer stop letting it play on the computer...

Little Xunbao thought, its gaze gradually becoming firm.

"Xun xun!"

It had to win this battle!
