Chapter 974: Mutual Destruction

"Who will be in a group with whom and bring us a wonderful battle!"

"Let us invite the referee from the Beast Taming Notary Office!"

Following the host's words, a man in a formal suit and Fentongji stood up and waved to the audience.

Immediately after, Fentongji split into two, and its head floated toward the screen.

After a ripple, it entered it and vanished.

Everyone in the contestant area stared intently at the virtual screen, but their expressions were mostly calm, maintaining the demeanor of big shots, as if it didn't matter who they were battling.

Please don't be Zeng Feitian, please don't be Zeng Feitian... Qiao Sang muttered in her heart.

Compared to an opponent she had just defeated not long ago, she preferred to compete against an unknown opponent.

At the same time.

Front row.

Please don't be Qiao Sang, please don't be Qiao Sang... Zeng Feitian's expression didn't change, but his heartbeat was accelerating constantly, and he was a bit nervous.

That Yan Yan Jia Ou, even after reviewing the match after it was over, he still didn't have the certainty of victory to win.

Qiao Sang was also the most watched contestant in this regional competition, and her matches had extremely high ratings and post-match heat. He didn't want others to think of him losing twice to the same opponent whenever they saw him in the future.

Soon, Fentongji's head flew out of the virtual screen, and its color didn't change.

【Zeng Feitian VS Qi Fuqing】

Zeng Feitian looked at his opponent's photo and name and breathed a sigh of relief.

【Qiao Sang VS Chen Tianqin】

I actually matched with such a popular contestant... Qiao Sang looked at her opponent's photo, her heart skipped a beat, but she was also secretly excited.

Chen Tianqin, 33 years old, achieved a good result in the top eight when he participated in the regional competition last year. His popularity this year was very high, and he was a popular candidate for the top three.

She still remembered when she was sitting in the family area at the opening ceremony, as soon as he appeared, the cheers around were simply terrifyingly loud.

Just as she was thinking, Qiao Sang suddenly sensed a gaze, so she couldn't help but turn her head.

She found that her matched opponent, Chen Tianqin, was staring at her with an unfriendly expression.

Qiao Sang: "???"

They were opponents, not enemies, why was he looking at her like that?

Chen Tianqin withdrew his gaze, and his eyes returned to their previous calm.

In a Chinese-style residence.

Tao Yunkai sat on the sofa looking at the list on the virtual screen, her gaze falling on the group 【Qiao Sang VS Chen Tianqin】, and her eyebrows raised.

I didn't expect them to meet so soon...

Her thoughts turned, recalling the scene yesterday when Chen Tianqin questioned her.

"Why! Everyone has worked hard to get into the National Beast Taming Battle Team, meditating at 5:30 every morning, doing high-intensity training all day, and the schedule is so tight that everyone almost has no time to rest!" Chen Tianqin said indignantly:

"Why is she special! No training, no competition, and the treatment is the same as ours!"

Tao Yunkai patiently explained at first:

"She is a student of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, with a mentor teaching her separately. Now that she is still young, it is the time to absorb knowledge and grow, so it is indeed not suitable for her to undergo high-intensity training all day."

Chen Tianqin sneered: "So what if she is a student of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy? The children in our National Beast Taming Bureau's youth training team are all running between school and the training base."

"Could it be that you entered the National Beast Taming Bureau for the treatment, rather than to fight for the country in the future?" Tao Yunkai said angrily: "This is the decision of our entire coaching team. If you have any questions, go ask the head coach."

Chen Tianqin left angrily.

Tao Yunkai returned to reality, looking at the list displayed on the virtual screen on the TV, and sighed in her heart.

She could understand why Chen Tianqin was so angry. In fact, not just him, the others in the National Beast Taming Battle Team were probably feeling unfair.

After all, everyone walked up step by step with difficulty, and it took a lot of effort to keep themselves from falling behind in the National Beast Taming Battle Team and being replaced by others.

But now someone didn't have to do anything to hang the name of the National Beast Taming Bureau, and didn't have to worry about being kicked out of the National Beast Taming Battle Team for the next twenty years.

In this match, Chen Tianqin was afraid that he would have too many personal emotions.

If Qiao Sang could win, it should make them understand the coaching team's decision a little bit.

At the competition site.

After looking at their opponents, many contestants stood up and left.

Qiao Sang looked at the competition order and found that it would be her turn in the afternoon, so she didn't stand up.

She had started watching this regional competition from the preliminaries, and she knew roughly about every contestant's data.

Chen Tianqin was a popular contestant and had just participated in the regional competition last year. All his pet beasts had fought, and many people had discussed them.

She knew all the public information she should know. Even if the other party's strength increased greatly this year, she couldn't investigate the hidden means in just one morning... Qiao Sang thought while looking at Chen Tianqin's direction, and found that the other party hadn't left either, so she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Could it be that the other party knew her very well too, and felt there was no need to investigate further?

She pondered for a moment and stood up to leave.

To be safe, it was better to formulate tactics with Like Ya Bao early.

As time passed, the sunlight gradually became poisonous, roasting the field.

However, cool winds blew from all directions from time to time, making everyone not feel the heat of the summer.

The sunlight gradually became less dazzling.

Time soon reached the afternoon.

A fierce match had just ended on the field, and the blue bird-type pet beast took the contestant back to the ground.

On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan looked at the list in his hand, his tone excited:

"The next group of contestants can be described as the focus of attention. One is the top eight contestant from the last regional competition, Chen Tianqin!"

The whole field erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Tianqin Tianqin! Heaven rewards diligence! Invincible!"

"He is only 33 years old, and he won all the previous rounds of the competition with a perfect record," Tian Yiwan continued:

"And there is another one who signed the legendary pet beast Qingyin Fairy, and is also the youngest dark horse in this regional competition, contestant Qiao Sang!"

The whole field erupted in cheers again.

"Qiao Sang Qiao Sang! Youngest! But the coolest!"

"It's very interesting to put these two together," Tang Xueyi smiled: "Chen Tianqin is the youngest contestant among the B-level professional Beast Tamers in this regional competition besides contestant Qiao Sang, which means the two youngest contestants among the B-level Beast Tamers will show us a wonderful battle."

Tian Yiwan followed up:

"Who will win this round of the match."

As soon as the words fell, two blue bird-type pet beasts carrying two figures rose directly from the ground.

The whole field erupted in cheers that resounded over the venue.

B-level Beast Tamers and B-level Beast Tamers are not exactly the same. The two on the field belong to the high-popularity contestants among all B-level Beast Tamers.

The audience heard the sound of their hearts beating wildly, and everyone became nervous and excited, even if their idols were not Qiao Sang and Chen Tianqin.

This was undoubtedly the most watched match today.

"I didn't expect to see a battle between super-high-popularity contestants just by advancing to the Top 16."

"Thinking that one of them cannot advance to the Top 10 makes me heartbroken. I feel they both have the strength to advance to the Top 10."

"Who do you think will win?"

"I bought Qiao Sang; her odds are higher."

"Chen Tianqin, I heard he was selected into the National Beast Taming Bureau. A Beast Tamer who has trained there must have different strength."

"I think it's Qiao Sang. The Ice Emperor Ram's Ice Heaven Domain is simply unsolvable, and it also has a move called Healing Light. Unless Chen Tianqin has a pet beast with thicker blood than the Iron Battle Dragon, it will definitely lose."

"It must be Chen Tianqin. I don't deny Qiao Sang's high talent, and her pet beasts are all very awesome, but she only became a B-level Beast Tamer recently, and Chen Tianqin was a B-level Beast Tamer last year and also won the top eight in the regional competition."

Family area.

"Qiao Sang Qiao Sang! Youngest! But the coolest!" Ye Xiangting shouted along with Qiao Sang's fan group.

"Are you not worried that she will lose this round?" Liu Yao heard the slogan, remembered the look of slight worry the other party had in the previous rounds, and asked with amusement.

Ye Xiangting smiled and said: "Isn't it already in the Top 32? Just try your best in the subsequent matches. Besides, even if I worry, it's useless, so it's better to cheer for her well."

Even if she wasn't from the Zhongkong region, she had heard Chen Tianqin's name. Against such a heavyweight opponent, she felt that just trying her best was enough.

Liu Yao understood. The other party felt that Qiao Sang couldn't win, and it was already very remarkable to be able to compete until now, so participation was what mattered.

"Is the other party very famous?" Teacher Mi Jiala asked when she heard the cheers around.

Ye Xiangting said "Mm":

"He participated in the regional competition of the Yuhua region across regions when he was a C-level Beast Tamer."

She paused and added: "It is said that he was also selected for the National Beast Taming Bureau's National Beast Taming Battle Team."

National Beast Taming Bureau... Teacher Mi Jiala suddenly remembered something and said:

"Qiao Sang was also selected for the National Beast Taming Bureau."

Ye Xiangting: "?!!!"

Liu Yao: "!!!"

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and discussions of the crowd, a "10" light shadow appeared on the field.

Everyone tacitly quieted down.

The mechanical sound changed with the light shadow:

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

Qiao Sang and Chen Tianqin formed seals with both hands simultaneously.

Two huge crimson star arrays lit up on the field.

Soon, two pet beasts with huge size differences appeared in their respective star arrays.

At the same time, the temperature on the field plummeted.

Large pieces of snowflakes suddenly drifted downward.

The audience at the competition site didn't react very violently.

But the bullet comments in the official livestream room were spamming frantically.

【Ah ah ah! Ice Emperor Ram! I knew Qiao Sang would send out the Ice Emperor Ram!】

【God Qiao, I love you! Thank you for letting me see the Ice Emperor Ram!】

【I don't need to look at their IPs to know they are people from the Guyu region.】

【First District reporting in.】

【First District? Which region?】

【I just wanted to search for where Qiao the Monster is. I didn't expect her to return to the Blue Star and have already become a B-level Beast Tamer...】

【Return to Blue Star???】

【My God Qiao has fans from outer space?】

On the field.

Phantom Hate Fox, a Dark-type General-level pet beast. It radiates resentment energy from its body, making the target's negative emotions increase and unable to remain calm... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, about six meters tall, with dark red fur wriggling like a living thing, and black mane covering its back, and the relevant data floated in her mind, while a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.

She didn't expect that the other party would send out a General-level pet beast in the first match.

You know, the victory of the first battle is very important to the Beast Tamer's mentality and momentum. B-level Beast Tamers basically send out King-level pet beasts to fight first to win the first match.

Yan Yan Jia Ou... Chen Tianqin looked at the gorgeous pet beast in the distance, and a smile couldn't help but hook at the corner of his mouth.

In the audience, everyone saw the pet beasts summoned by both sides and couldn't help but discuss:

"Yan Yan Jia Ou vs Phantom Hate Fox, King-level vs General-level, no suspense, Qiao Sang must win."

"Why did Chen Tianqin send out a General-level pet beast at the start."

"Maybe he wants to use a General-level pet beast to consume the King-level pet beast, so that the pet beasts sent out later can win easily."

"General-level vs King-level, how to consume it? Especially a pet beast with strong attack power like Yan Yan Jia Ou, it's all a matter of one move."

"Maybe it's two moves. Don't forget, Qiao Sang's last match was at night. Yan Yan Jia Ou has the Moonlight Power ability, and its state can be doubled. Now it's afternoon, Yan Yan Jia Ou's state is not that strong."

"Even if it can hold on for two moves, what can it consume?"

"I don't quite understand Chen Tianqin's operation. After a match ends, the winner can recall the pet beast to the Beast Taming Tome. The energy consumed can be replenished by Yan Yan Jia Ou before it appears next time."

On the field.

Could it be that the other party is prepared to use the resentment energy radiated from the Phantom Hate Fox's body to make Like Ya Bao fall into negative emotions, so that it will make mistakes in subsequent matches? If so, just don't fight close-quarters. The resentment energy in the Phantom Hate Fox's body is not enough to spread to the entire field... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said:

"Blast."

As soon as the words fell, she noticed something wrong.

The other party didn't issue a command at the first time, and similarly, the Phantom Hate Fox didn't act.

And now, even though it saw Like Ya Bao attacking, it didn't have any defensive or offensive actions.

It's too wrong, it's like it's deliberately sending itself...

As thoughts flickered, Like Ya Bao had already launched a beam of light, red with a hint of gold, from its mouth, shooting directly toward the Phantom Hate Fox.

With a loud "Boom!", the Phantom Hate Fox didn't have any action, and the beam of light exploded on its body.

"Phantom Hate!"

Heat rolled, and fire lit up the sky.

Amidst the powerful flames and shockwaves, the Phantom Hate Fox screamed and flew backward.

It was severely injured all over, closed its eyes, and fell to the ground, seemingly already defeated.

Chen Tianqin's expression didn't change, and there was even a smile.

He said slowly:

"Mutual Destruction."

"Ya ya!"

As the words fell, Like Ya Bao revealed an extremely painful expression and screamed.

Immediately after, its body shook violently, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

The whole field was in an uproar.

What, what is going on? The audience, who were sighing that the Phantom Hate Fox was indeed defeated a second ago, revealed shocked and stunned expressions the next second.

Why did the Yan Yan Jia Ou fall too?!

"Why is it like this?!" In the family area, Ye Xiangting was full of confusion.

Liu Yao's expression was serious.

Teacher Mi Jiala said solemnly: "It's the S-level Mutual Destruction ability."

"The Yan Yan Jia Ou has fallen!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan widened his eyes and stood up abruptly: "Without receiving any attack at all, it fell. What exactly is going on!"

Tang Xueyi was slightly calmer and said:

"It's the Mutual Destruction ability."

Mutual Destruction ability, also known as 'I fall, you fall too.' A pet beast with this ability can make the target attacking it bear the damage it suffers. When this ability reaches S-level, it can even make the target attacking it have the same constitution as itself. No matter how its pain is, the target's will be the same, and it won't be reduced because the other party's level or defense is far beyond its own... Qiao Sang looked at the fallen Like Ya Bao, her expression ugly.

No wonder, no wonder the other party sent out the Phantom Hate Fox in the first match.

No wonder the Phantom Hate Fox didn't move and just stood there to be beaten.

Its purpose in appearing was to be beaten and trigger the Mutual Destruction ability!

No matter whether she knew it in advance or not, this move would lead to the outcome of Like Ya Bao falling just like it!

"The Mutual Destruction ability can make the target attacking it have the same pain and state after receiving an attack as itself," Tang Xueyi explained: "The Yan Yan Jia Ou is one level higher than the Phantom Hate Fox, yet it was still affected. The level of this Phantom Hate Fox's Mutual Destruction ability is probably very high."

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

A tidal wave of noise erupted in the audience:

"Holy crap! The Mutual Destruction ability is so awesome, it can actually cross a level and directly trigger the Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze!"

"What's even more terrifying is that if the Yan Yan Jia Ou didn't have the Blaze ability, it would have lost. A General-level pet beast taking away a King-level pet beast—I don't even dare to think about it."

"Chen Tianqin went to the National Beast Taming Bureau for training, it's really different. His strategy has improved so much, using his weakest pet beast to trade for the opponent's trump card."
