Chapter 950
A man in a suit and a Fentongji stood up and waved at the audience.
This was not the same referee as last time.
The Fentongji was also not the same one.
To become a referee at the Notary Office, in addition to passing the corresponding interview and assessment, the contracted pet beast must also be what the Notary Office requires.
Therefore, at the Notary Office in the Central Hollow region, most of the staff's pet beasts have a Fentongji.
"Fenfen."
The Fentongji split into two, its head floated toward the giant virtual screen in the center of the arena, and entered it.
All the photos began to be shuffled rapidly.
Ten seconds later, the photos were grouped in pairs and froze on the screen.
A moment later, the spherical head of the Fentongji floated out of the screen, its color unchanged.
Only then did the host announce loudly:
"The list is effective, the team matching for the Top 216 to Top 108 is complete!"
Everyone's eyes turned toward the giant virtual screen in unison.
Qiao Sang quickly browsed the list and soon found her photo.
She glanced at the name below the photo next to hers: Xiang Wenyi.
Xiang Wenyi, 36 years old, C-tier Beast Tamer, participated in a regional competition five years ago and achieved a Top 100 result... Qiao Sang's mind displayed this person's data.
It wasn't that she looked it up specifically, but the commentator introduced it during the preliminaries.
Her memory is excellent now; she doesn't need to memorize anything specifically. As long as she has seen or heard it, she can basically remember it.
She watched the live broadcast of the seven-day preliminaries and remembered that the star formation this person used at the time was orange-yellow, and she was still a C-tier Beast Tamer.
However, her strength far exceeded the opponent she fought at the time. First, she used a general-tier pet beast to solve two of the opponent's pet beasts in one go, then recalled her pet beast and sent out a second pet beast to successfully win the third game.
It was equivalent to a clean sweep, with no losses.
At the same time, in the family area.
Ye Xiangting saw the opponent fighting her daughter and began to open her phone to search.
When she saw the data showing that she was a C-tier Beast Tamer, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Looking at the list ranking, Qiao Sang probably won't be up until tonight," Liu Yao said, looking at the giant virtual screen.
Ye Xiangting frowned: "Doesn't that mean we have to sit until tonight?"
"If you're tired, you can go out and rest. When it's Qiao Sang's turn, I'll call you," Liu Yao said.
"It's not easy to be able to watch the regional competition on-site, and in such a good seat, how could I be afraid of being tired," Ye Xiangting said worriedly. "I'm worried about Qiao Sang. She still has to compete; she won't just sit here until tonight, right? I don't know if there's a place for contestants to rest backstage."
She has been to her daughter's room these past few days and knows that she has been watching the live broadcast and hasn't missed a single match.
Now that she's here on-site, she probably won't leave halfway through either.
Liu Yao said calmly:
"You don't have to worry about that; she has Ice Emperor Ram."
"I'm relieved," Ye Xiangting said.
Contestant area.
It looks like it will be my turn tonight... Qiao Sang looked at the list ranking and estimated the time.
Except for the preliminaries on the day of the opening ceremony, most contestants don't want it to be their turn on the day the list comes out, because that would mean less preparation time.
Qiao Sang doesn't care; this is still the early stage of the competition. As long as she doesn't encounter a B-tier Beast Tamer, everything is easy to handle.
This is the confidence brought by strength.
"Xunxun?"
Although Xiaoxunbao occasionally watches the live broadcast of the regional competition, it can't remember every contestant. When it saw the list confirmed, it turned its head, revealed a curious expression, and let out a cry.
Is she strong?
Qiao Sang glanced at it: "Quite strong."
"Xunxun..."
Xiaoxunbao put down the energy recovery liquid in its claws and revealed a dejected expression.
If the opponent is strong, it seems it won't be able to enter the arena today...
"Why aren't you drinking anymore?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xunxun..."
Xiaoxunbao let out a listless cry, indicating it was full.
Qiao Sang: "..."
On the other side.
The contestants looked at their opponents, some calm, some excited, some with ugly expressions.
Xiang Wenyi was the one with the ugly expression.
She didn't have the habit of checking and researching all the contestants' data, but she knew that Qiao Sang was the youngest B-tier Beast Tamer in history.
Encountering a B-tier Beast Tamer in the regional competition basically means you can say goodbye to the regional competition.
The woman with black hair, brown eyes, and soft features sitting next to her spoke:
"Speaking of which, I can be considered to know Qiao Sang. Do you want me to go and have a word with her, ask her to show mercy, and not let you lose too ugly."
Xiang Wenyi looked at the person beside her in surprise:
"You know Qiao Sang?"
Fang Lan said "Mm":
"I did an assessment mission with her at the time, and we maintained order at the Flight Convention for three days."
"How come I've never heard you mention it," Xiang Wenyi asked.
"Don't mention it," Fang Lan sighed:
"Although I knew she was also going to participate in the regional competition, I always thought her actual age was much older than she looked. And at that time, she told me she had only completed four missions. It seemed like almost seven months had passed since the start of registration for missions. I thought she was just a passerby. Who could have thought she could finish the remaining missions in such a short time."
Xiang Wenyi was silent for a moment: "Does she still remember you?"
Fang Lan's eyes widened instantly: "You wouldn't really ask me to help you speak, right? I was just joking."
Xiang Wenyi rolled her eyes at her: "I've worked so hard to get here, is it to let others go easy on me?"
Fang Lan revealed an awkward smile: "I knew you wouldn't do that."
"You've done missions with her, do you know what pet beasts she has?" Xiang Wenyi asked.
Fang Lan thought for a while and said:
"There is a pet beast with flame wings, it looks like a fire-type, but it can move in the air without relying on wings to fly, it should possess super-power, and there is also a ghost-type pet beast that can perform spatial movement."
As she spoke, she winked at the position where Xiaoxunbao was located in the front left:
"That's the one."
Xiang Wenyi looked over: "That one is called Ghost Ring King, I know, a pet beast from the Yuhua region, it's already spread online, I've seen it."
"Didn't the internet also say," Fang Lan said: "Qiao Sang participated in the National Campus Beast Taming League a year ago. I heard a child of a relative in my family say that the top few of those competitions would be selected to go to other planets as interstellar exchange students. You go and check, maybe you can search for her battle data on other planets."
"She was only a D-tier Beast Tamer a year ago; even if I watched the battle videos from that time, it would be useless."
"You're right," Xiang Wenyi said, then stood up abruptly and left the contestant area.
There were quite a few contestants who stood up and left like her; most of them weren't up for a match immediately and wanted to go out to study the opponents they were about to fight.
The competition proceeded in an orderly manner.
Time flew by rapidly. At noon and in the afternoon, taking advantage of the stage when the matches ended, Qiao Sang went out and took Like Ya Bao and the others for a full meal, then continued to return to the contestant area to watch the matches.
Until the sky darkened and the moon rose, a staff member walked over and whispered something.
Qiao Sang stood up and followed behind her.
At the same time, several other contestants also headed there together.
"Xunxun?"
Xiaoxunbao followed beside its Beast Tamer, holding a milk to drink while letting out a cry, indicating: is it Like Ya Bao Big Brother's match or Lubao's match later?
Qiao Sang glanced at it: "You get ready."
"Xunxun!"
Xiaoxunbao was stunned for a moment, and then revealed an expression of ecstasy.
But immediately after, it quickly became worried again.
"Xunxun..."
Didn't you say the opponent is very strong...
Qiao Sang glanced at it again: "You're not weak either."
"Xunxun~"
Xiaoxunbao floated a circle happily.
Half an hour later, on the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan spoke:
"The next group of contestants will be the highly anticipated contestant Qiao Sang and contestant Xiang Wenyi."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole arena cheered.
The noisy sound waves were even louder than when some matches were decided:
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Ah! Qingqingni! I want to watch Qingqingni compete!"
"Calm down, Qingqingni is still only a beginner-tier pet beast!"
"I don't care! I don't care! I just want to watch Qingqingni!"
"Steel Sword Falcon! Steel Sword Falcon!"
The individual voices cheering for Xiang Wenyi were completely drowned out.
It's finally Qiao Sang's turn... Ye Xiangting's spirit lifted, and she took out her phone, preparing to record the wonderful moments at any time.
Tian Yiwan continued: "Contestant Qiao Sang completed a one-on-three with a wonderful performance during the preliminaries. As the youngest B-tier Beast Tamer in history, and also the biggest dark horse in this regional competition, I wonder what kind of pet beast she will send out for today's match."
Tang Xueran said:
"Contestant Xiang Wenyi also had a very wonderful performance in the preliminaries. This is her second time participating in the regional competition. I look forward to her being able to exert her full strength today."
As the commentator's words fell, two blue bird-type pet beasts rose straight up from the ground, stabilized their figures, and stopped in mid-air.
The camera zoomed in, giving close-ups of Qiao Sang and Xiang Wenyi respectively.
The whole arena erupted into noisy sound waves again, cheering for their appearance.
Although no one thought Xiang Wenyi could win the match, her performance during the preliminaries also circled a wave of fans for her.
On the field.
Stay calm, the opponent should know that I am a C-tier Beast Tamer and won't send out a king-tier pet beast so quickly. As long as it's not a king-tier pet beast, there's a chance; winning one match is still winning one match... Xiang Wenyi looked at her opponent in the distance, her inner tension soaring, while maintaining calmness on the surface.
Qiao Sang looked at her opponent in the distance, thinking to herself, I wonder if the other party has found out about her competition on the Super Su Star...
When the list came out, everyone was in the contestant area, so she naturally heard the conversation.
There was no way around it; with someone discussing her at such a close distance, she subconsciously locked onto it and listened for a bit.
As thoughts flickered, the light and shadow of "10" appeared in the center of the arena.
The mechanical voice also sounded at this time:
"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1."
Both of them formed seals with their hands.
An orange-yellow star formation and a red star formation lit up on the field almost at the same time.
Soon, two figures with huge differences in body size appeared on the star formations respectively.
When they saw the figure on the field that looked about the same size as a beginner-tier pet beast, everyone began to discuss one after another:
"This must be the ghost-type pet beast that can perform spatial movement mentioned online; it feels even smaller than what I saw in the video."
"It's called Ghost Ring King, I checked it, it's said that this one of Qiao Sang's is still a different-colored pet beast."
"My heart is really without any ripples; others have already contracted Qingqingni, contracting another different-colored pet beast doesn't seem like a big deal."
"Sigh, why didn't Qiao Sang enter Secret Realm No. 16 a year ago and contract Qingqingni? Otherwise, with her ability, I would definitely be able to see a legendary pet beast compete in this regional competition."
"Xunxun!"
Xiaoxunbao felt the gazes of over a hundred thousand people in the arena and only felt extremely excited, desperately suppressing the urge to greet the humans in every direction 360 degrees.
Can't move, can't move, this is a competition, must stare at the opponent from the very beginning... Xiaoxunbao remembered its Beast Tamer's instructions and hid its figure immediately.
At the same time, on the other side, the huge green figure shook its whole body, and countless green powders scattered across the sky and permeated.
The next second, Xiaoxunbao appeared less than a meter away, face-to-face with the huge figure, covering its nose and mouth.
"Bind!"
Xiang Wenyi said quickly.
"Muxu!"
The huge pet beast let out a cry.
Instantly, dozens of vines glowing with green light drilled out from the ground and crazily bound toward Xiaoxunbao.
Just as they were about to touch, Xiaoxunbao disappeared on the spot and appeared in the sky outside the green powder.
Except for some audience members who already knew the details of Xiaoxunbao online, the rest of the audience exclaimed one after another, shocked that a pet beast that was clearly ghost-type could actually perform a skill like teleportation.
"Ghost Ring King, a ghost-type general-tier pet beast from the Yuhua region," Tang Xueran's voice sounded: "This Ghost Ring King of Qiao Sang's has a slightly different color from ordinary Ghost Ring Kings, and its body size is also smaller. It seems to be a different-colored pet beast, and the mutation added the super-power attribute."
"A dual-attribute pet beast of ghost-type and super-power-type, this is the first time I've seen it after commenting on so many regional competitions," Tian Yiwan's voice said pleasantly.
He was faking it.
Before the match, he had seen data about Qiao Sang's Ghost Ring King online, but this didn't prevent him from standing from the audience's perspective, empathizing with them, and igniting the surprise in their hearts.
Muxu Flower Monster, a grass-type general-tier pet beast, with a gentle personality, doesn't like to fight, will emit powder that makes the energy in the pet beast's body unstable. Once the powder is inhaled, out of ten times using a skill, nine might fail. At the same time, ghost-type pet beasts within the range of the powder will also reveal their figures... I remember the opponent used this pet beast to complete a one-on-two at the start during the preliminaries... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, which was about six meters tall, with light green fur covering most of its body, deep brown legs, and flower whiskers growing on its neck like decorations wrapping around it, and its data appeared in her mind.
Sure enough, she saw the video of Xiaoxunbao's battle; otherwise, how could she have released such a large range of powder at the beginning...
It's a good thing I told Xiaoxunbao about the Muxu Flower Monster's situation before the match, hold your breath when getting close, and retreat if it doesn't work...
"Dark Shadow," Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and issued an order.
Xiaoxunbao merged its claws upward.
Immediately after, a super-enlarged version of Ghost Ring King, over thirty meters tall, appeared in the arena.
This, this big... Xiang Wenyi's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Muxu..."
The Muxu Flower Monster looked up at the behemoth in front of it, its mouth opening bit by bit.
Dark Shadow, can display a phantom ten times larger than its own body size. In the later stages, the displayed phantom can even be a hundred times larger. Xiaoxunbao's Dark Shadow has already been practiced to the later stages. What's thirty-plus meters? When fully expanded, it can already reach a height of sixty-plus meters... The Muxu Flower Monster's powder can indeed make the pet beast's energy unstable, but as long as Xiaoxunbao uses skills outside the range of the powder and lets the Dark Shadow carry out the attack, it won't be affected at all... Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field, her expression calm.
