Chapter 750: Buzz

For a moment, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

After about two or three seconds, the commentator's voice rang out across the field, filled with shock, bewilderment, and disbelief:

"Th-this move looks like the super-tier skill Ice Domain! Bing Ai Pa Lu used Ice Domain! That's right, Bing Ai Pa Lu—the information on this mysterious pet beast was just delivered to me… but that's not important right now. What's important is that Bing Ai Pa Lu used the super-tier skill Ice Domain—a General-rank pet beast used a super-tier skill!"

"Oh my god! This is absolutely the most breathtaking scene I've witnessed on-site in all my years as a commentator!"

"A super-tier skill! Muzaoweng has no power to fight back at all! Both the Giant Demon Vine it cast and itself were instantly frozen under Ice Domain's control!"

"This match is basically Qiao Sang's personal show!"

The commentator went from stammering at first to eventually standing up from his chair, spitting everywhere, face flushed red, growing more and more excited as he spoke.

As the commentator's words fell, an uproar rose up, the scene instantly exploded, the crowd roaring.

"Give me a moment, I need to calm down—holy crap, I can't calm down at all! Can anyone tell me why a General-rank pet beast knows a super-tier skill?!"

"Ahhhh! Ice Domain! I actually saw Ice Domain in an All-Star Match for contestants under 35!"

Qiao Sang: 【Any problems?!】

Offstage.

Your match time was relatively in the middle, and since you'd stayed earlier to watch, you came back fairly early.

Gang Bao shook his head.

Applause erupted in a cascade, growing louder and louder.

Liu Yao turned his head and laughed:

……

"What's wrong?" Wen Xiao jumped in fright.

Ouen runs a purebred pet beast base—what help could you be.

Wen Xiao nodded: "Bad."

As for the Awakening Bead, that might actually be possible…

A General-rank pet beast—this is absolutely unprecedented…

【Bad! I'll have it sent to him tomorrow! Have someone send an Item Master along too, teach him how to use it.】

【Oh my god, it's really him!】

Dinner had been kept warm. Wen Xiao stuffed his stomach haphazardly, went to his room, half-leaned against the bed, took out his phone, wanting to contact Duan Ti Chong to come over early.

It's pretty much that kind of impact.

Classmate? The person beside caught a whiff of gossip: "What school are you from?"

So that's what it was, here I was wondering what… Taking advantage of Lu Bao training inside, Wen Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Isn't it the case that the stronger opponents are all later on? I was thinking of having him appear a few days later."

Yan Zhuang laughed and said: "If you need anything just tell me directly. Even if I don't know, I can go ask those mentors."

Yuna runs a pet beast club—all you need to do is hang your name on it.

Lu Bao looked at everything frozen before its eyes, and its tail unconsciously gave a flick.

Yan Zhuang was a little surprised that Wen Xiao suddenly asked this, and subconsciously typed and sent: 【Ah, not yet…】

Bi Waite was completely dumbfounded, with absolutely zero mental preparation. It felt just like when people from his school told him back then: your school produced a monster—a sixteen-year-old who contracted seven pet beasts, three of which were General-rank, one a High-rank, and two of them were even pet beasts in new forms never seen before.

【Wen Xiao, you participated in the Beast Master All-Star Match?!!】

Went viral? Wen Xiao was stunned for a moment, and opened the trending searches on his phone.

Bi Waite held back from immediately sending an email to the Imperial Beast Master Academy's pet beasts, and said: "Go back and rest well. The preliminaries run for two days, and it won't be your turn again until the day after tomorrow… From now on, if any media wants to interview you, just turn them down. Don't waste your time on them."

"So it turns out Qiao Sang's earlier attack hadn't ended yet." The commentator, as if not embarrassed at all, narrated the situation that had just occurred.

Duo Luoxi looked at the field, her voice drifting: "I'm Wen Xiao's classmate…"

The ice covering the entire field vanished, the temperature returned to what it had been, as if everything that had just happened had never existed.

Wen Xiao: "……"

"Oh my god, I thought I was hallucinating!"

Qiao Sang: 【Not open yet, but it can be opened right away.】

"Giant Ice Hammer!"

Wen Xiao calmly nodded at the Mechanical-system pet beast referee, indicating he could come over for the ruling now.

Wen Xiao: 【How soon is "right away"?】

What about it then.

Taking advantage of still being in the Beast Master All-Star Match period to make a trip, it should be able to bring some buzz to the pet beast grooming shop she was opening…

"On the brink of extinction?" The person beside looked over with a strange gaze: "How do you know that?"

#Wen Xiao VS Petra#

Wen Xiao: 【That's right.】

Wen Xiao casually spotted several trending topics related to himself.

Wen Xiao returned to the villa.

It yawned, let out a cry, indicating it was sleepy and wanted to sleep.

Bi Waite held it in for a long time, finally unable to resist asking: "How did your Ice Muzaoweng learn Ice Domain?"

Wen Xiao replied to each one in turn.

To be honest, it had been a long time since he'd seen that expression on Ya Bao.

Qiao Sang: 【Three days. I originally wanted to pick a location carefully, but now I can only directly buy a shop that's already renovated. But everything is just temporary—as long as the shop's name gets out there, even if we change locations later, people will specifically come find us.】

In the end, like thunder, deafening.

Even his school had been dug up… Wen Xiao inwardly marveled at the netizens' abilities for a moment, then returned to the chat page and typed a reply:

"You participated in the Beast Master All-Star Match?"

"He's also participating in the competition?"

The Mechanical-type pet beast referee came over to Lan Xingzhu's side, observed for a moment, then picked up the whistle behind him and blew it.

Suddenly, you saw a message from Xiusi:

【Okay, once he's arranged everything, send me the address.】

#Blue Star, Ice Wood Algae Elder#

As expected of a wealthy family—even a temporary storefront is being bought outright… Wen Xiao typed back:

The Mechanical-type pet beast acting as referee flew over from the field, wanting to check on Bing Ai Pa Lu's condition.

Moreover, Grass-type pet beasts might well have healing-type skills. As long as Lan Xingzhu could hold on and recover some HP through healing-type skills, the energy-depleted Lulu would be at a complete disadvantage.

……

But it's enough to deal with a same-level Grass-type pet beast whose attribute is countered.

……

"The match results are out! Let us congratulate contestant Wen Xiao on winning this match and successfully advancing to the next round!" the commentator announced passionately.

The seventh day, early morning.

On the way back.

【I just got home. How do we promote it? Does his pet beast equipment brand have new products again?】

Wen Xiao opened it and took a look.

Wen Xiao woke up on time, went through a simple wash-up, and came to the living room.

Liu Yao smiled, didn't pick up that topic, and instead asked:

"Steel Slash."

"Are you still sleepy?" Wen Xiao noticed Ya Bao's expression softening and changed the subject.

Ya Bao thought about it, figured it made sense—previous matches seemed to be the same way.

The other areas were still buzzing with discussion.

Historically, there have been pet beasts that used an Awakening Bead to awaken a Super-tier skill.

"Bang!!!"

#Ice Lan Xingzhu, Blue Star Endangered Pet Beast#

The ice cone shattered into seven pieces.

"Wait!" Wen Xiao noticed the Mechanical-type pet beast's movement and called out to stop it.

"Yaya…"

Only Bing Ai Pa Lu, still pinned under a pile of large ice chunks and already unconscious, proved that everything that had just happened had truly occurred.

A giant ice cone, like a mountain, suddenly appeared above Bing Ai Pa Lu's head, then crashed down heavily onto its body, kicking up a thunderous roar.

To avoid this situation, Bing Ai Pa Lu had to be clearly defeated within 20 seconds.

Besides classmates from Yuliandun University, there were also dozens of messages from classmates at Sainan High School.

Contestant area.

The commentator's voice cut off abruptly.

Fortunately, as long as it's within the Ice Heaven Domain, Lulu is the master of ice. Any ice-type skill it has learned can be released at will, so unlike other combo skills, there's no need for both moves to reach a certain level of proficiency before they can be perfectly linked and released.

【Too much trouble for others. Just give me the instruction manual and usage video.】

The questions asked were also things like how you got into the Beast Master Star Tournament.

"Steel Slash."

6… Wen Xiao suddenly felt that both she and her pet beast needed to work harder. She immediately opened the contact info for the Body-Forging Worm beast master and set a time to meet.

Saying this, she suddenly thought of something and said in a meaningful tone:

Xiusi seemed to have been guarding her phone the whole time and replied instantly:

The advantage of the Ice Heaven Domain is very obvious, but the flaw also exists—using more ice-type skills during the domain's maintenance will shorten its duration.

……

Xiusi was overjoyed and immediately typed:

The people around all looked over.

At that moment, Steel Bao, who had been keeping quiet in the room, called out.

【Okay, send me the product.】

"Yuliandun University? Aren't you a celebrity?"

Wen Xiao patiently replied: "The tournament still has several more days. It'll be your turn eventually."

"It used an Awakening Bead." Lan Zhuang didn't hide it and said: "It awakened when it evolved into the Ice Wood Algae Elder."

#Ghost Ring King#

Wen Xiao finished replying to the vast majority of the messages, put down her phone, turned her head, and saw Ya Bao staring at her with a wronged look.

The energy in Lulu's body was only enough to maintain the Ice Heaven Domain for about 20 seconds. She couldn't guarantee that by the time the referee arrived, the Ice Heaven Domain would still be maintainable.

10:01 PM.

Wen Xiao didn't reply, but considered briefly.

She would be returning to Blue Star in the future. Taking advantage of the current high popularity, it wouldn't be bad if she could help her future career a little.

#Yuliandun University, Wen Xiao#

Lan Zhuang opened it and saw they were all asking about tonight's match.

Duo Luoxi took a deep breath and raised her voice: "I'm sixteen years old! I skipped grades to come to your Yuliandun University, and I'm only in my first year of college now!"

"What? Wen Xiao is a student at Yuliandun University!" someone nearby exclaimed loudly.

The moment she took out her phone, she saw 99+ messages.

Just then, this pet beast's level had once again reached King-tier.

Like Ya Bao called out once, expressing why tonight's match was sending it out to battle?

"No wonder she's so awesome — turns out she's a student at Eton Elementary!"

"Eton Elementary." Shirley lied in her reply.

There was no like or dislike about it; it was just that in matches she couldn't fight, and in fighting she couldn't be weak.

Or maybe her son would tell her one day: Dad, you met your true love on Yan Tianxing, I'm a girl, so you found a Ditto to change your gender, sorry.

【Don't worry about that product! Your family has actually never been in control of the entire production chain. The most important thing is, his current popularity is very low, and now is the worst timing for the brand to appear in niche circles. As long as he uses one of your brand's products in any match, it'll definitely go viral!】

Hughes replied instantly again:

Thinking of that, Wen Xiao didn't hesitate any longer, swiped up the chat interface, and quickly found Qiao Sang.

"No no no, didn't you catch the key point! Eton Elementary, Wen Xiao, you're definitely not just 16!"

"Contestant Wen Xiao stopped the referee — why was that?" The commentator recovered somewhat from his激动的 state: "Could it be that Binghuang Bingke's mastery of the Ice Heaven domain isn't yet complete, and she was afraid the referee going in would get accidentally hurt? What a thoughtful…"

【Are you thinking of using this popularity to promote pet beast grooming?】

"No no no, whether she's 16 or not isn't important anymore — just for that Ice Heaven domain, I've been completely won over!"

For a King-tier pet beast, being able to learn a super-tier skill — even surveying all of history, there were only a handful of cases…

"A student from Eton Elementary doesn't need to be a celebrity at all."

The other party had also sent messages tonight.

#Beast Tamer Celebrity Match, Wen Xiao#

"The book you brought has been very useful, saved me a lot of time, so I don't need to stay inside for so long anymore lately."

"Bingyi." Lubao called out once.

It was Qiao Sang who was doing the pet beast grooming side.

When she saw the busy figure in the kitchen, she was stunned for a moment, then said in pleasant surprise: "Vice Principal, you're actually home!"

Then she jumped onto the bed, found a comfortable position to lie down, closed her eyes, and was fast asleep before long.

"Is it really a General-tier pet beast! I don't believe it!"

The Mechanical-type pet beast subconsciously stopped in place.

"Yaya?"

Wen Xiao got straight to the point: 【Has your pet beast grooming business started yet?】

The main reason was still insufficient energy and familiarity.

【Reply me when you see the message! You've gone viral online! Now is the perfect time to promote your pet beast prop brand!】

Wen Xiao was startled. She had expected Lubao's Ice Heaven domain to spark discussion, but she hadn't expected that in just a short hour or two, there would be so much discussion about her online, and all of it on the hot search.

Since it concerned her future funding issues, Wen Xiao naturally didn't refuse:

【Alright, I'll go with what you say!】

The audience present still knew a fair bit about beast taming history — a General-tier pet beast learning a super-tier skill, they had simply never heard of such a thing, so everyone was stunned once again.

"Yaya…" Hearing this, Like Ya Bao suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over it.

#16-Year-Old Girl Shocks the Entire Arena#

#Super-Tier Skill Ice Heaven Domain Actually Comes from a 16-Year-Old Girl#

But the next second, she realized something, her eyes lit up, recalled the message, sat up straight on the bed, and resent it:

【Oh my god! Is he even human! His Ice Kexilu actually evolved! And it knows the super-tier skill Ice Heaven domain!】

Wen Xiao thought about it and politely declined:

#How a General-Tier Pet Beast Learned a Super-Tier Skill#

"Awakening Bead…" Pitwit seemed a little dazed.

"It's real…" In the audience seats, Shirley finally broke free from her shock upon hearing the surrounding voices, murmuring: "Ice Wood Moss Elder, Blue Star's water, ice dual-attribute General-tier pet beast, and one on the verge of extinction…"

The back rows of Section A suddenly fell silent.
