Chapter 971: Rock-Shock Camel

Immediately after, a giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the field, and the photo of the Feitian Radium King under Zeng Feitian changed from color to black and white.

Zeng Feitian's expression was dejected. He took a deep breath, quickly managed his expression, waved his hand, and recalled the Feitian Radium King into the Beast Taming Tome.

The audience was quiet for two seconds, then erupted into a roar that threatened to blow the roof off the venue.

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Yan Yan Jia Ou! Yan Yan Jia Ou!"

"The Yan Yan Jia Ou is just too cool! It feels like the Feitian Radium King was no match for it at all!"

"The Yan Yan Jia Ou's attacks feel so smooth, and its combat awareness is terrifyingly strong!"

"That scene where it bit through the Air Slash in mid-air really wanted to kill me with how cool it was!"

"And that final move, Hellfire, descending from the sky and shattering the entire ground with flames to instantly take down the Sky-Soaring Radium King—seriously, this scene could definitely be included in the highlight reel for the most spectacular moments of this regional tournament!"

"Are the pet beasts in the Yuhua region this cool?!"

"Is the Feitian Radium King really Zeng Feitian's trump card pet beast?"

"It's not that the Feitian Radium King isn't strong; it's that the Yan Yan Jia Ou is just too strong. I feel like it could be ranked in the top few among all the King-level pet beasts that have appeared in this regional competition."

"Is the Yan Yan Jia Ou really a King-level pet beast that just evolved? It doesn't feel like it at all."

"I've discovered that I want to sign every one of Qiao Sang's pet beasts..."

"I'm not that greedy; I just want to sign a Qingyin Fairy."

"..."

At the same time.

In the official livestream room, everyone was spamming the screen:

【Congratulations to God Qiao for taking another match!】

【Yan Yan Jia Ou! Yan Yan Jia Ou!】

【I'm preparing to take a trip to the Yuhua region. A dual-attribute pet beast of Fire and Psychic types is this cheap—you won't find a second species like this anywhere in the world, okay!】

【Unfortunately, I have to tell you that just a moment ago, the Fire Tooth Dog went up in price.】

【Holy crap, it went up? I haven't even gone to buy one yet!】

【The pet beast base is right next to my house, and I know the employees inside. When Qiao Sang summoned the Yan Yan Jia Ou, I called to ask, and he said that all the Fire Tooth Dogs at the pet beast base are sold out. We have to wait a while for more, and any fool knows it won't be this price in a while.】

【The pet beast base is the most well-informed about these pet beast breeds. They must have watched Qiao Sang's match and realized the latest evolution chain of the Fire Tooth Dog can reach King-level, so they raised the price.】

【Brother, how much did the price go up? Tell me so I can give up.】

【I haven't asked that yet.】

【Huh? The pet beast breeding shop next to me just posted a WeChat Moment about Fire Tooth Dogs. I asked, and it didn't go up.】

【Then why haven't you hurried up and taken it! The owner of that pet beast breeding shop must not know the news that the latest form of the Fire Tooth Dog can evolve into a King-level pet beast!】

【You fake fans, only caring about whether the Fire Tooth Dog went up in price. Only I care about when Like Ya Bao's sunglasses endorsement will upload new photos.】

【Who is Like Ya Bao?】

【The Yan Yan Jia Ou's name, God Qiao named it.】

At the competition site.

"Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang for winning the second match!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said excitedly:

"What a clean and neat match! It also let us see contestant Qiao Sang's true strength!"

Tang Xueran said: "The Yan Yan Jia Ou first used Teleport to dodge a head-on collision with the Feitian Radium King, then used Flame Charge to crash the Feitian Radium King to the ground, and the final blow, Hellfire, directly ended the match. I have to say, this match was full of passion, brought us a strong visual impact, ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and was a wonderful match."

"Actually, contestant Zeng Feitian's strategy wasn't a problem either." Tian Yiwan said professionally, "The Feitian Radium King's feather storm was indeed a tactic aimed at the Yan Yan Jia Ou, but the Yan Yan Jia Ou's reaction speed and attack power were both above the Feitian Radium King's. Before being affected by the combination skill of the feather storm, it successfully unleashed Fire Meteor Rain, directly causing severe injury to the Feitian Radium King."

"Even if the attack power was weakened later, it was still fatal to the Feitian Radium King."

"The Hellfire that the Yan Yan Jia Ou unleashed at the end under the influence of Feather Dance was so powerful." Tang Xueran sighed:

"If there hadn't been any influence, this move would likely have been even stronger."

She paused and added:

"However, when the Yan Yan Jia Ou was unleashing Fire Meteor Rain, moonlight shone down, and a silver light reaction appeared on its body. It looks like the Fairy-type Moonlight Power ability."

"This ability is relatively rare. When bathed in moonlight, energy becomes abnormally active, and its stats are double the usual in any state."

"If the Yan Yan Jia Ou truly possesses this ability, it will be in peak state for all its night matches, with doubled attack power. Then it's easy to understand why it's so much stronger than the Feitian Radium King."

"Not necessarily." Tian Yiwan countered:

"The moon phase changes every night, and weather factors can also block moonlight. It's not like you can look up and see the moon every night. Without being bathed in moonlight, this ability is useless."

"That's right." Tang Xueran looked at the field and returned to the main topic:

"The third match is about to begin, and it's also Qiao Sang's match point. Looking at the situation, she doesn't intend to recall the Yan Yan Jia Ou."

Tian Yiwan chimed in: "Contestant Zeng Feitian's two King-level pet beasts have both appeared. There shouldn't be any suspense for this match."

On the field.

"Ya!"

Like Ya Bao teleported to the side of its Beast Tamer, looking excitedly at the human in the distance, its eyes full of anticipation.

It wanted to proceed to the next match immediately!

Like Ya Bao definitely hasn't had enough fun fighting yet... Seeing Like Ya Bao's state, Qiao Sang didn't recall it into the Beast Taming Tome.

Zeng Feitian glanced at the Yan Yan Jia Ou's gaze fixed on him in the distance, then looked at Qiao Sang, and seeing she had no intention of recalling the Yan Yan Jia Ou, he suddenly felt a bit of heartache for the pet beast he was about to summon next.

At this moment, a "10" light shadow appeared in the center of the field, changing continuously with the broadcast of the mechanical voice:

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1."

The light shadow vanished.

Zeng Feitian formed seals with both hands.

A dazzling crimson star array lit up before him.

Soon, a pet beast about six meters tall, generally brown, with humps on its back resembling rock structures, appeared in the star array.

Rock-Shock Camel, a Ground-type General-level pet beast. It extremely hates water and humidity, has an honest personality, believes whatever others say, and is easily deceived even if they aren't a Beast Tamer. It possesses the Anger Point ability; when hit in a vital spot, it changes its honest appearance, its temper becomes abnormally terrifying, and its attack power increases significantly... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, and the relevant data flashed through her mind.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao glanced at its opponent, which was half a head smaller than itself, and its expression turned visibly disappointed.

"Rock Slide!"

Although Zeng Feitian knew this match was a guaranteed loss, he didn't deal with the match passively and issued the command immediately.

"Rock Shock!"

The Rock-Shock Camel roared, raised its two front claws, and stomped down heavily.

The roar shook the field. As the claws stomped the ground, the ground trembled and was suddenly torn open. At the location of the cracks, towering rocks appeared one after another, attacking directly toward Like Ya Bao's position.

Like Ya Bao's eyes reignited with a bit of interest, and it stomped its left front claw down with force.

Flames suddenly exploded from the ground, and the power of the flames swept forward wantonly, blasting the towering rocks into powder one by one in an instant.

With a loud "Boom!".

The location where the Rock-Shock Camel stood was blasted open by the gushing flames.

"Rock Shock!"

The Rock-Shock Camel screamed and flew backward.

The next second, Like Ya Bao vanished via Teleport and appeared at the position where the Rock-Shock Camel was about to fall, opened its mouth, and revealed sharp teeth.

A giant Yan Yan Jia Ou head condensed from flames instantly condensed and appeared, opening its sharp teeth in synchronization with the action.

Just as Like Ya Bao was about to bite down, it suddenly felt something, paused for a moment, and stopped the action.

The Yan Yan Jia Ou head condensed from flames dissipated and vanished.

The Rock-Shock Camel fell to the ground, already closing its eyes and fainting.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao looked at its opponent lying on the ground with eyes closed and fell into a silence.

Zeng Feitian was equally silent, not issuing commands like "Stand up."

He knew that he had already lost this match.

The gap between a King-level pet beast and a General-level pet beast was already huge; it was absolutely impossible for a situation like the one in the junior/intermediate pet beast stage where one could win by challenging a higher level to occur.

Even if the Rock-Shock Camel stood up again at his call, the result wouldn't change at all.

The Mechanical-type referee appeared beside the Rock-Shock Camel, observed for a moment, and waved a green flag toward Qiao Sang's position.

A giant virtual screen appeared in the center of the field.

Zeng Feitian's photo vanished, leaving only Qiao Sang's, and the photos of Lubao and Like Ya Bao were enlarged and left on the field.

Small-scale light shadow fireworks exploded above the photos.

For such a result, no one was surprised.

On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said loudly at the first opportunity:

"Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang for winning this round of the match! Successfully advancing to the Top 27!"

The whole field cheered.

Everyone applauded thunderously, shouting for Qiao Sang and the Yan Yan Jia Ou.

"Ya ya!"

Like Ya Bao listened to the voices around it shouting its name, instantly forgetting the disappointment brought by the last match, held its head high and chest out, accepting the cheers of the crowd like a superstar.

In the guest area.

Coach Tao of the National Beast Taming Bureau stared at Qiao Sang for a while, then stood up.

Qiao Sang held the shrunken Like Ya Bao and returned to the backstage.

Some time ago, in order to hide Like Ya Bao's information, she hadn't let it come out at the competition venue. Now that Like Ya Bao had come out and competed, she no longer had such concerns.

At this time, there were no other contestants lingering backstage.

The giant virtual screen was playing the match of the last group of contestants.

Qiao Sang sat down to watch.

When it reached the last match point, she suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Like Ya Bao, who do you support?"

"Ya ya!"

Like Ya Bao pointed at the red monkey-type pet beast without hesitation.

The next second, thunder fell from the sky.

A yellow bolt of lightning appeared in the high sky, winding down with majestic force and striking the head of the red monkey-type pet beast.

The red monkey-type pet beast's head was charred black, and it closed its eyes and fell to the ground.

The Mechanical-type referee appeared, looked twice, and waved a green flag toward the direction of the other purple tiger-type pet beast and its Beast Tamer.

Like Ya Bao: "..."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Sure enough, Like Ya Bao's performance was as stable as ever...

After the commentator finished congratulating the winner of this round and announced the end of this round of the match, the host stood on the body of a Flying-type pet beast, appeared in mid-air in the center of the field, and said:

"Next, there will be a three-day resurrection match. We will select five contestants from the contestants eliminated in this round to enter the next round..."

That's good, there's three days of rest time... Qiao Sang held Like Ya Bao and stood up to leave the backstage.

Beast Taming Center.

Accommodation area.

Room 2603.

Even though it was late at night, Ye Xiangting was still incredibly excited, showing no signs of being sleepy at all:

"Today's matches were played so beautifully! The moment Lubao had its tail bitten and finally grew ice spikes to pierce through the Iron Battle Dragon's mouth was just fantastic! And Like Ya Bao, that Fire Meteor Rain was absolutely superb. What was that last move called again?"

"Hellfire," Qiao Sang reminded.

"That's it, Hellfire!" Ye Xiangting grew more excited as she spoke: "When that move came out, the fire directly blasted the entire field open! So cool! I estimate that tomorrow, the news that the Yanling Dog evolution chain can evolve to King-level will spread over in the Yuhua region. Today, many people asked me about the price of the Fire Tooth Dog, and the shop assistant also sent a message..."

Qiao Sang assumed a listening posture.

However, she couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, Ye Xiangting suddenly remembered that it was getting late, and her voice dropped instantly, saying:

"It's already very late now. You go to sleep early, I'll go first."

"Okay, Mom, you go to sleep early too." After Qiao Sang finished speaking, she looked at Little Xunbao.

"Xun xun~"

Before she could speak, Little Xunbao called out, revealing an "I understand" expression, looked at Ye Xiangting, and its eyes glowed with blue light.

Immediately after, it vanished from the spot with her.

"Then I'll go too." Teacher Mi Jiala stood up from the sofa and said.

Qiao Sang said quickly: "Goodnight, Master."

Teacher Mi Jiala looked at Qiao Sang and said with a smile:

"You performed well today."

After speaking, she vanished on the spot.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then smiled.

She lay on the bed, turned off the light, and closed her eyes.

B-level Beast Tamers were just as difficult to deal with as she had thought. Lubao's match almost ended in a loss, and Like Ya Bao's energy broke through to mid-level King-level during evolution, coupled with the Moonlight Power at night, which made the win relatively easy.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to win the battle so easily...

This was only the first B-level professional Beast Tamer encountered in the regional competition. The subsequent matches would all be against opponents who were B-level professional Beast Tamers... Like Ya Bao still had two super-tier skills that hadn't been unleashed... Lubao had used all its powerful means to win the match tonight. Others could probably calculate how long Lubao's Ice Heaven Domain could be maintained. To go further in the competition, it was necessary to train more and strengthen, preferably to practice some means that others didn't know, and also Little Xunbao and the others... Qiao Sang thought while entering dreamland.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao slept soundly right next to its Beast Tamer.

Lubao was in the water tank, radiating cold air from its whole body, practicing Ice Armor.

Gangbao stood by the window, eyes closed.

Little Xunbao teleported back, and this was the scene it saw.

"Xun xun?"

Little Xunbao looked around the room.

Where is the fifth one? ===== CHAPTER 972 =====
