Chapter 985: Round Seven

That evening.

Beast Taming Center.

Room 2603.

Qiao Sang half-lay on the bed, looking at the information of the contestants who entered the top eight.

The candidates for the top eight had all been decided tonight, and tomorrow was the match for the top four.

Having had the previous example of Chen Tianqin, she checked the information more meticulously, but unfortunately, the content didn't change much, as if everyone hadn't hidden anything.

If it weren't for the fact that a contestant's Water-type pet suddenly displayed Thunder-type means that had never been shown before in the evening match, she would have almost thought that the information she checked earlier was all there was.

I really don't know how such famous Beast Tamers, who are tracked and reported by paparazzi every day, managed to hide it... Qiao Sang sighed silently in her heart.

Suddenly, the window was knocked twice with a "Dongdong".

Gangbao, who was on the coffee table by the window, pulled the curtains open with its wings.

Qiao Sang turned her head to look and found a bird-type pet about thirty centimeters tall, holding a phone high with its left wing, sticking to the window, with a line of text scrolling on it:

【Qiao God, my Little Song Swallow is a fan of the Steel Sword Falcon. Can it take a photo with the Steel Sword Falcon? If not, can it have a photo of the Steel Sword Falcon?】

Little Song Swallow, Flying-type beginner-level pet, likes to sing when happy, and its singing voice has a refreshing effect. It is said that people who hear the singing voice will feel their fatigue disappear, and even if they are very sleepy the second before, they will become energetic the next second... Qiao Sang finished reading the words on the phone, information about the pet before her flashed through her mind, and her thoughts couldn't help but scatter.

I didn't expect that even beginner-level pets can use phones now. The words on this wouldn't have been typed by it, right...

She was already used to pet fans coming to the door. She had encountered quite a few in the suburban villa and the accommodation corridor today.

Gangbao turned to look at its own Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang saw Gangbao's inquiry and nodded:

"Open it."

Only then did Gangbao open the window.

The yellow bird-type pet jumped onto the coffee table, its eyes blooming with light as it looked at Gangbao, completely in a fan-girl appearance.

Gangbao was stunned by this look.

Qiao Sang asked:

"Are you Gangbao's fan?"

"Steel Sword?"

Gangbao reacted and looked at the yellow bird-type pet with an unexpected expression.

Its fan?

"Song Song?"

The Little Song Swallow pointed at Gangbao on the side and called out, indicating is Gangbao its name?

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao nodded.

"Song Song!"

Seeing that the one answering was its idol, the Little Song Swallow became excited all of a sudden, nodding repeatedly, indicating that it was its fan.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao turned its head and called towards the little treasure-hunting ghost's direction.

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost quickly put down the snacks in its claws, teleported in front of the Little Song Swallow, took the phone from its wings, and skillfully opened the camera to take a photo.

After taking it, it returned the phone to the Little Song Swallow and teleported back to continue eating snacks.

"Song Song~"

The Little Song Swallow looked at the photo with its idol on the phone, its eyes curved, and suddenly began to sing loudly.

"Song~ Song song song~ Song song~ Song song~"

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

Qiao Sang instantly felt her sleepiness disappear.

Like Ya Bao, who was originally yawning, stood up from the bed suddenly and became energetic.

Lubao opened its eyes in the water tank and glanced at the Little Song Swallow, then closed them again.

Qingbao appeared and looked at the singing Little Song Swallow curiously.

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost put down the snacks and applauded the Little Song Swallow, giving a lot of emotional value.

Gangbao looked at the Little Song Swallow thoughtfully.

"Song Song~"

The Little Song Swallow finished singing, bowed, and then flapped its wings and left happily from the window.

"Steel Sword..."

Gangbao stood by the window, watching the direction where the Little Song Swallow left, and only after its figure disappeared completely did it close the window again and pull the curtains.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang now had a deep bond with Gangbao and sensed its inner doubts, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Steel Sword?"

Gangbao called out, indicating whether the singing voice of that bird just now had a refreshing effect?

Qiao Sang nodded:

"Yes."

Pausing, she asked: "Is there any problem?"

"Steel Sword..."

Gangbao was silent for a while, then called out, indicating that it just felt it was so late now, it should be time to sleep, and it suddenly ran over to sing, and it wouldn't be able to sleep at night, would it affect the spirit of tomorrow's match.

Qiao Sang was stunned and said in a deep voice:

"You mean, someone deliberately let it come?"

She remembered another piece of information about the Little Song Swallow:

Little Song Swallow, likes to sing when happy, the singing voice has a refreshing effect, but the time is limited. According to the level of the singing voice ability, the time will also have corresponding lengths. After the refreshing effect passes, the original fatigue will strike double.

At the same time.

A tea restaurant private room near the Beast Taming Center.

"Song Song~"

The Little Song Swallow flew in from the window happily.

On the sofa, the teenager with thick eyebrows who looked only sixteen years old saw the Little Song Swallow's appearance and said pleasantly surprised:

"Photo successful?"

"Song Song~"

The Little Song Swallow handed the phone to its own Beast Tamer and nodded happily.

Infected by the emotion, it couldn't control its wings spreading, and was about to sing again:

"Song~ Song..."

The singing stopped abruptly.

The man with a handsome short ponytail on the other side of the sofa stuffed a yellow tree fruit into its mouth and said with a smile:

"I don't want to be unable to sleep at night."

"Song Song..."

The Little Song Swallow took a bite of the tree fruit and instantly forgot about singing, happily munching on it.

"It really took a photo together!" The teenager looked at the photo on the phone full of surprise, then thought of something, extremely regretful, and said painfully:

"If I had known Qiao God was so easy to talk to, I should have gone to ask for a photo myself, maybe I could have asked for a signature."

The man with a handsome ponytail smiled and said:

"She will take photos and sign for pets that come to the door, but she won't necessarily give photos and signatures to people who come to the door. If you go to someone else's place like Little Song Swallow, that's a sasaeng fan, and she won't give you a good look."

"That's true..." The teenager sighed, and then thanked gratefully:

"Brother, fortunately you gave me the idea of letting Little Song Swallow go to ask for a photo. Qiao God's whereabouts are really too hard to determine. Every time after the competition, she directly space-moves away from the scene, and you can't find her at all." 【

The man took a sip of tea and said:

"I also happen to have a friend who lives where Qiao Sang is training. He said his pet beast suddenly brought back an autograph from Yan Yan Jia Ou and refused to take a bath no matter what, so he thought he'd let Little Ge Yan give it a try."

The teenager was stunned for a moment:

"What does that have to do with whether it takes a bath or not?"

The man smiled and said, "It is said that it was signed on its belly."

The teenager was taken aback, then burst into loud laughter:

"How could it be signed on the belly? It couldn't be that this pet beast took the initiative to ask for a signature on its own belly, could it?"

"That, I don't know." The man's tone was amused.

The teenager suddenly asked: "By the way, Brother, how do you know that God Qiao lives in 2603?"

The man said:

"It's not a secret that she lives in the Beast Taming Center; you can find out with a little checking."

The teenager became worried:

"God Qiao should move to a different place. Everyone knows where she lives; what if people go and disturb her?"

The man smiled and did not reply.

After a few seconds, he looked at Little Ge Yan, who was eating a tree fruit, and asked:

"Are you happy after taking the group photo?"

"Ge ge~"

Little Ge Yan nodded repeatedly.

The man asked again: "Then were you happy enough to sing?"

"Ge ge~"

Little Ge Yan nodded.

The man smiled with satisfaction.

At this moment, the teenager said:

"Brother, I can't grab a ticket for the live event tomorrow. Can you help me ask Brother Yu if he can help me save a seat? He made it to the top eight anyway, so it shouldn't be hard for him to ask the organizers for a seat, right?"

The man did not refuse:

"I'll ask when the time comes."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, opened a chat interface, typed, and sent:

【Everything is settled on Qiao Sang's side.】

It wasn't intentional targeting; this was just a normal interference tactic.

Who told the remaining contestants to have only Qiao Sang's location be the easiest to approach.

Beast Taming Center.

Room 2603.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao let out a cry, indicating that it wasn't sure, just worried that it wouldn't be able to sleep tonight because of the singing, and wouldn't be in good spirits tomorrow.

It could tell that the singing bird was truly its fan, unless the other party was as good at acting as it was.

"You don't need to worry about that," Qiao Sang said. "Lubao has the Light of Healing; we can just use that when the time comes."

She paused and added:

"However, it seems quite a few people know the room number I'm staying in. After the top four matches are over, I'll still have to move to a different place."

Regardless of whether Little Ge Yan was a fan of Gangbao, in a situation where the curtains were drawn, it could accurately find its way here and even bring a phone; it certainly wasn't acting alone behind its Beast Tamer's back.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao nodded, indicating agreement.

It was very satisfied with its Beast Tamer's caution.

Qiao Sang sensed Gangbao's satisfaction, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Do you think the bond between us has deepened again?"

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao flapped its wings, indicating that it was possible.

"Do you still remember the place where you dreamed of yourself evolving?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao's expression became serious, and it nodded.

It remembered.

When it foresaw the evolution location, although it had already evolved temporarily, it was still only in its high-tier form. Even though the location dreamed of was in the Zhongkong region, it wasn't the place where it officially evolved into its General-tier form at the time.

"Yukong Beast Taming Hall." Qiao Sang announced the location of Gangbao's evolution:

"If I'm matched against that opponent from your dream, I'll let you enter the field."

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao nodded solemnly.

Its strength might be inferior in the team, but if it involves the location and time period where it truly evolved, even if the opponent is strong, it must enter the field.

Qiao Sang's gaze returned to her phone, searching for information, not daring to be careless.

The several times Like Ya Bao and the others fulfilled the evolution timing and location predicted by Adinihi made her realize that wanting to evolve isn't just about finding the location in the prophecy, but relying on her own known information to push this prophecy forward.

In other words, the result of this prophecy happens under the condition that she knows about it.

If she encounters the opponent from Gangbao's dream, and she makes a mistake in judgment, causing Gangbao to appear in a match where it shouldn't, leading to the failure of the prophecy, that is also a possibility.

Of course, she wasn't sure if Gangbao would evolve during this regional competition.

After all, it's not impossible to have a second match against the same opponent in the same location.

However, the location and the person have a chance to match up in this regional competition... Qiao Sang looked at a name on the data:

Wu Tianjiao.

The opponent in Gangbao's dream, the Thunder Hemp Spirit; among all the contestants, only she has one.

8:30 AM.

Yukong Beast Taming Hall.

"Hello, audience friends." The reporter held the microphone and said to the camera: "I am currently at the scene of the Yukong Beast Taming Hall. All contestants are in place, and the scene is packed with people. Today, the matches for the top eight advancing to the top four will be held. The brilliant fireworks have been lit as a blessing and tribute to all the remaining contestants. There are only four spots for the top four; who will be able to obtain these four spots? Let us turn our attention to the field."

The camera focused on the center of the field.

The host had already finished the previous procedures and said:

"Let us invite the referees from the Beast Taming Notary Office."

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air.

The Fentongji split into two, and its head floated into the screen, merging into it.

Eight photos were quickly shuffled and scrambled, finally freezing in place.

The Fentongji's head flew out of the screen, its color unchanged.

The eight contestants were divided into four groups, and Qiao Sang saw her grouping at a glance:

【Qiao Sang VS Yu Zhenyi】

Audience seating.

Row 6, Area A.

The teenager who was cheering saw the list and immediately stopped, sighing:

"Brother Yu is so miserable, he actually got grouped with God Qiao."

The man with a cool short ponytail next to him glanced at him: "How do you know for sure that your God Qiao will win?"

The teenager spread his hands:

"Does that even need thinking? God Qiao even beat Chen Tianqin; I remember Brother Yu lost to him before."

"Ge ge."

Little Ge Yan nodded in the teenager's arms.

That's right, that's right.

The man stopped talking and turned his gaze to the contestant area.

He didn't expect Yu Zhenyi to really be matched against Qiao Sang, but looking at her, she doesn't seem to be in low spirits.

Could it be that she had the Ice Emperor Ram use the Light of Healing?

Contestant area.

When Qiao Sang saw her opponent, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She took it out and saw it was sent by Rong Yuhua:

【Yu Zhenyi. txt】

【A freebie, don't be under pressure.】

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and typed a reply:

【Thank you.】

She had to admit that the information provided by the other party was indeed much more complete than what she could find online.

At the very least, regarding the proficiency of the pet beast's skills, she could only analyze and couldn't look it up.

Rong Yuhua replied instantly:

【Why are you being so polite? I already consider you a friend. By the way, when will you officially enter the National Beast Bureau for training?】

Qiao Sang: 【... Didn't I tell you, in twenty years.】

Rong Yuhua: 【You're lying to me! I don't believe it!】

Qiao Sang: 【I'm not lying to you.】

If she becomes an A-level Beast Tamer within the stipulated time, she will participate in the competition directly.

Staying in the National Beast Bureau for training would only happen if she hasn't become an A-level Beast Tamer in twenty years.

Qiao Sang didn't pay any more attention to Rong Yuhua's messages and clicked on the file related to Yu Zhenyi.

Yu Zhenyi, 36 years old, B-level Beast Tamer, self-awakened at twelve; this is his third regional competition, and his trump card pet beast is the Mimicry Master.
