Chapter 947: After the preliminaries

"Super-tier skill! Super-tier skill! Did you see it! The Steel Sword Falcon used a super-tier skill!"

"Ah ah ah! I actually forgot to take a picture!"

"No, is it actually possible for a General-tier pet beast to learn a super-tier skill?!"

"Ah! Steel Sword Falcon! Steel Sword Falcon!"

"My god! Qiao Sang is too handsome! I want to turn into a fan! I want to defect!"

"Why don't we have such an awesome Flying-type pet beast in our Zhong Kong region!"

"How exactly is a super-tier skill learned? Who can tell me?"

"What procedures do I need to go through to contract an alien pet beast?"

"I announce! The Steel Sword Falcon is my dream pet beast from now on! Not to mention it looks so cool, it's a Flying-type pet beast, the entire evolutionary chain relies on bond power, resources don't need to be spent much, and it can learn a super-tier skill like Holy Sword at the General-tier stage! It's simply perfect!"

"Calm down, it's possible that only Qiao Sang's Steel Sword Falcon is awesome."

"I don't care! After the Regional Tournament ends, I'm going to the Super Su Xing!"

The audience discussed the match just now passionately, and even didn't notice that the next group of contestants was about to appear.

In the contestant and family area.

Ye Xiangting looked at the competition field and couldn't recover for a long time.

Her daughter has become a B-rank Beast Tamer...

Steel Bao is so big...

Won one-string-three in the competition...

Steel Bao cast Holy Sword as a General-tier pet beast...

Am I dreaming...

After a long time, she turned her head and asked: "Vice Principal, do you know when my Qiao Sang became a B-rank Beast Tamer?"

"No need to call me Vice Principal, I have already resigned long ago, just call me by my name," Liu Yao said. "What I have been researching recently is the new evolutionary chain of the Fire Tooth Dog. Qiao Sang also contacted me recently when Ya Bao evolved, and she told me about becoming a B-rank Beast Tamer at that time."

After a pause, he added: "When she came back from the Super Su Xing, the time for the Regional Tournament registration task in the Zhong Kong region had already passed for half a year. She was probably too busy in this half year, so she didn't tell you in time."

Completed the Regional Tournament task in half a year... Ye Xiangting froze.

At first, she was shocked that her daughter successfully signed up for the Regional Tournament, and she forgot for a moment that only half a year had passed during this period.

You know, many professional Beast Tamers couldn't complete the Regional Tournament in a year...

Speaking of which, she felt that she didn't know as much about many things about her daughter as others...

For a time, Ye Xiangting felt melancholy in her heart.

More of it was a feeling of being incompetent.

She also wanted to take care of her daughter's food, clothing, housing, and transportation like other mothers.

But her daughter's progress was too fast. First, she went to the Super Su Xing, and then to the Imperial Beast Taming Academy. Even if she wanted to accompany her, she couldn't...

During the melancholy, a woman who looked to be in her fifties sitting next to her spoke up:

"Hello, may I ask who you are to Qiao Sang?"

Ye Xiangting instantly restrained her emotions, held her head high, and looked proud: "I am her mom."

The woman's eyes lit up, and her smile was enthusiastic: "So you are Qiao Sang's mom, you look so young. How on earth did you give birth to such an excellent child like Qiao Sang?"

Ye Xiangting was satisfied, the previous melancholy mood vanished, and she began to tell her parenting philosophy: "My child has been smart since she was little..."

Liu Yao pricked up his ears on the side, listening silently.

When Qiao Sang returned to her seat, what she saw was the scene of her mother talking to the people around her.

"Qiao Sang is here!" A middle-aged man sitting in the back row of Ye Xiangting shouted.

Uncle, who are you... Qiao Sang sat in her seat and asked her mother with her eyes.

"This is Lu Fengba's dad," Ye Xiangting introduced with a smile.

Qiao Sang froze for a moment, turned her head, and greeted: "Hello, Uncle."

"Good, good, good!" Lu Fengba's father smiled brightly, as if it wasn't his son who had just been one-string-three: "You are too amazing, my son losing to you is not a loss!"

Qiao Sang felt embarrassed by what was said.

Suddenly, Lu Fengba's dad picked up his phone and asked: "Can I take a picture with you?"

Qiao Sang froze again, nodded, and said: "Okay."

Lu Fengba's dad reached out his hand, and the phone was in front.

Qiao Sang cooperated and showed a smile.

"Take one with me too!" Beside Ye Xiangting, the woman who looked to be in her fifties said: "I am Pan Tianma's mom. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. I am preparing to let her look at your photos more, so that maybe the child she gives birth to can be like you in the future!"

It wouldn't be good to be like me, shouldn't it be like Pan Tianma... Qiao Sang complained in her heart, nodded, and said okay.

When the Regional Tournament reaches the later stages, the number of contestants will decrease, and there will be a separate area. By that time, the family members will sit together.

Qiao Sang remembered her mother's appearance of talking well with them just now and didn't refuse.

After taking pictures with the people around and signing a few autographs, she finally watched the competition with peace of mind.

Tickets for the Regional Tournament are hard to come by. Since she finally managed to get to the scene, how could she miss it?

The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.

The audience would still cheer when they saw wonderful duels, but they were no longer as emotionally high as before.

They had seen the scene of a 17-year-old B-rank Beast Tamer using an alien pet beast to one-string-three, and even casting the super-tier skill Holy Sword. Looking at the duels between C-rank Beast Tamers in the next few games, they always felt something was missing.

When all the matches ended and the audience left one after another, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost appeared, wanting to perform space movement.

Qiao Sang thought of something at this time and said: "Mom, Vice Principal, you go back first. I'll let the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost send you. I still have something to do, I'll leave later."

"What's the matter? I can wait for you," Ye Xiangting said.

Qiao Sang told the truth: "I am preparing to accept an interview, it might take a little time."

Steel Bao wants to make a name for its race. It has already completed a wonderful one-string-three. If it adds her interview, the publicity will be more in place.

Ye Xiangting froze: "Is there any TV station that said they want to interview you?"

Qiao Sang shook her head: "No."

Ye Xiangting: "..."

"I'll go with you," Ye Xiangting decided.

"I'll go too," Liu Yao said.

Qiao Sang looked at her mother, then at the vice principal, and smiled: "Okay."

Afterward, she formed seals with both hands and summoned Steel Bao.

When she returned backstage after the match, she had already summoned Lu Bao to treat Steel Bao.

"Mom, why don't you seem surprised at all that I became a B-rank Beast Tamer?"

"I am surprised."

"Then why don't you ask me?"

"Ask what?"

"Ask when I became a B-rank Beast Tamer."

"Do I still need to ask? It must be within this half year... You have worked hard this half year."

"... It's not hard."

In the intermittent conversation and the almost 100% head-turning rate, the three walked toward the outside of the competition hall.

Just when Qiao Sang was looking for where the reporters were, a pile of reporters holding microphones and pet beasts carrying cameras rushed over from the crowd, squeezed away Ye Xiangting and Liu Yao, and began to ask passionately:

"Contestant Qiao Sang, I am a reporter from the Zhong Kong Event Channel. May I ask why you came to participate in the Regional Tournament of the Zhong Kong region?"

"You became a B-rank Beast Tamer at 17, so at what age did you start to awaken autonomously?"

"Contestant Qiao Sang, why did you contract a pet beast from the Super Su Xing?"

"This is your first time participating in the Regional Tournament, have you thought about what ranking you will finally get?"

"The Steel Sword Falcon cast the super-tier skill Holy Sword at the General-tier stage. Did you teach it? May I ask what method you used to let it learn it?"

Qiao Sang looked at the reporter who asked this and said:

"I didn't teach it. It awakened autonomously after evolving into a General-tier pet beast."

All the reporters' gazes turned to Steel Bao.

"Steel Sword."

Steel Bao puffed out its chest, trying to pose in the best-looking posture.

Early morning of that day.

A restaurant private room.

Like usual, at this time, the restaurant would basically be closed.

But now it is the annual Regional Tournament time, which is exactly the busiest time for tourists, and many restaurants have started 24-hour operations.

Ye Xiangting and Liu Yao, as well as Teacher Mi Jiala, were eating late-night snacks while chatting, each talking about things between them and Qiao Sang.

The topic person, Qiao Sang, was looking at the hot searches on her phone on the side.

#Qiao Sang, 17, B-rank Beast Tamer# hung at the first place of hot searches.

Immediately after is #Steel Sword Falcon, Holy Sword#

#Qiao Sang one-string-three#

#Steel Sword Falcon#

#The biggest dark horse in the history of the Regional Tournament#

#Steel Sword Falcon, autonomously awakened super-tier skill#

When seeing that the discussion degree of Steel Bao's topic was very high, Qiao Sang exited the hot search with satisfaction, put away her phone, and ate the late-night snack.

Now that there are so many hot searches about Steel Bao on the internet, it can be considered a step closer to Steel Bao's wish.

At this time, Teacher Mi Jiala said:

"There is still one week until the next match. You have to prepare well during this period."

There are many contestants in the Regional Tournament. After the preliminaries end, it will take a week.

"I watched the whole match today," Teacher Mi Jiala continued: "Almost every contestant has a combination skill. Your pet beast's proficiency in all aspects might be higher than theirs, but the combination skills they cast can be stronger than high-proficiency skills."

"You should put some effort into combination skills these few days."

"Understood," Qiao Sang nodded.

"Actually, it was an unwise move for you to expose all of Steel Sword Falcon's trump cards tonight," Teacher Mi Jiala expressed her opinion: "In this way, Steel Sword Falcon's strength will be completely exposed, you will also be remembered by everyone, everyone will carry out targeted tactics against you, and Steel Sword Falcon will become more and more difficult in the future."

Qiao Sang raised her head, her tone calm:

"Even if Steel Bao didn't cast Holy Sword tonight, I would still be remembered by everyone."

Ye Xiangting: "..."

Liu Yao: "..."

Qiao Sang continued with a serious face:

"I am not afraid of everyone's targeting and fear. Targeting will only make me realize my problems faster and make me stronger."

Ye Xiangting looked at Qiao Sang blankly, unable to believe that the one who said such serious words was her daughter.

Teacher Mi Jiala showed appreciation and smiled:

"You are right. Constantly improving in battle and becoming strong quickly is also the purpose of me letting you participate in this competition."

In the positive conversation atmosphere, Ye Xiangting and Liu Yao recalled the scenes of Qiao Sang scoring zero points and almost accidentally eating pet beast food in the past, only feeling that time passed, and everything had undergone earth-shaking changes.

After sending her mother to the hotel, Qiao Sang returned to the Beast Taming Center.

Just entering the lobby, she saw several staff members on the night shift see her, their eyes lit up, and they began to talk in low voices:

"It's her, right!"

"Seems like it!"

"Why does she live in the Beast Taming Center?"

"Young age, maybe it's her first time participating in the Regional Tournament and she has no experience."

"Should we go up and ask for a group photo."

"You go."

"You go."

Qiao Sang listened to their conversation while walking toward the accommodation area, only to find that they were just talking, and no one came up to ask for a group photo even after she walked away.

On the way back to the room, as long as she met someone, the other party would look back, and some even took out their phones to sneak photos.

Almost everyone watches the Regional Tournament, this sentence is really not said casually. This is just the preliminary round, and it feels like the attention is much higher than when Ya Bao's new form was announced in the Yu Hua region and she won the National Campus Beast Taming League... Qiao Sang thought while opening the room door.

After a simple wash, she lay down to sleep.

"Seek seek..."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost looked at its Beast Tamer, took out a computer from the ring, and hooked its short toes at Ya Bao and the others.

Ya Bao, Lu Bao, Steel Bao, and Qing Bao all walked over and gathered around the computer.

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost skillfully opened the video software, searched for the Regional Tournament, precisely found the match video of Qiao Sang VS Lu Fengba, specifically lowered the volume, and began to play it.

Because of the competition rules, they couldn't see the scene of their Beast Tamer and Steel Bao competing, so they could only watch the replay.

"Tooth tooth..."

"Seek seek..."

"Ice Emperor..."

"Clear clear..."

Ya Bao and the others watched attentively.

When seeing the last match where Steel Bao ended the match with Holy Sword and completed one-string-three, winning the match, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost excitedly shouted a "Seek" character, and then remembered that its Beast Tamer was still sleeping, so it quickly covered its mouth with its claws.

"Tooth tooth."

Ya Bao patted Steel Bao on the shoulder and shouted in a low voice, indicating that it performed well.

"Ice Emperor..."

Lu Bao recalled the appearance of Steel Bao being injured when it saw it at night.

"Clear clear?"

Qing Bao looked at Steel Bao, showing a worried expression.

Is it okay now?

"Steel Sword."

Steel Bao felt the emotions of its partners, a warm current surged in its heart, and it let out a sound, indicating it was okay and had already been treated.

"Seek seek~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost learned from Ya Bao's appearance and patted Steel Bao on the shoulder, letting out a sound, indicating that it performed well and didn't lose face for the big brother.

Steel Bao: "..."

At this time, Ya Bao yawned.

After watching the match, its sleepiness came up.

After the experience in the secret realm, it could already sleep a little later, but it still couldn't stay up late.

Very quickly, Ya Bao lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Lu Bao and Qing Bao also lay down to sleep one after another.

Just when Steel Bao was also preparing to sleep, it found that its claws couldn't move.

It looked down and saw that its claws were wrapped by a black shadow at some point.

Steel Bao raised its head and looked at the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost.

"Seek seek~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost lowered its voice and let out a sound, indicating that you shouldn't sleep yet, let's look at the hot searches on the internet. It looked at its Beast Tamer's phone when eating late-night snacks today, and many of them were about you.

Steel Bao froze for a moment, came to the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's side, and looked at the computer.

"Seek seek~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost opened the hot search while letting out a sound.

If there is anything you don't understand, tell me, and I will read it to you.

"Steel Sword..."

Steel Bao nodded.

"Seek seek~"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost let out a sound while pressing its voice.

However, the Beast Tamer and Ya Bao big brother and the others are all sleeping, so the sound it reads might be small.

"Steel Sword."

I haven't fallen asleep yet... Qiao Sang, who was lying on her side, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the backs of the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost and Steel Bao staring at the computer, closed her eyes again, and just pretended that she had been sleeping all along. ===== CHAPTER 948 =====
