The beast starts from zero

As the host finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the stage, displaying photos of all ten finalists, which then moved rapidly in a staggered fashion.

Villa living room.

Josan, Michaela, and Toothbone all turned to look at the television.

"Ya ya, ya ya..."

Ya Bao clenched its paws, its expression a mixture of tension and anticipation. It barked twice, as if to say, "It has to be something like Lai and something like Se, it has to be something like Lai and something like Se..."

Qiao Sang's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Judging from Ya Bao's luck, since it wanted to run into Lefebvre and Serana, it probably won't be able to meet them in the next match.

"Steel Power".

Just then, Gangbao's voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

It thinks so too.

As expected, when the match lists for the five groups of players were released, Qiao Sang quickly saw his team assignment:

[Qiao Sang VS Feng Fu]

"The list of contestants who have advanced from the top ten to the top five is now complete!" the host announced loudly. "Have you all seen the team assignments for your favorite contestants?"

The entire stadium erupted in cheers.

"Ya?"

In front of the TV, Ya Bao stared at the photo next to his Beastmaster for a long time, then turned his head and asked with an expectant expression, as if to ask who the next opponent would be.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter puts down his toothbrush and helps answer the question.

This human's name is Feng Fu.

"Teeth..."

Toothpick's eyes dimmed instantly, and its tail drooped.

If it weren't for Lai and Se, then I wouldn't be able to fight to the end...

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao, standing to the side, looked thoughtful, indicating that the name sounded familiar.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter waved its paws, indicating that everyone had been competing together for so long, how could it not be familiar?

"Tingting".

Tingbao suddenly cried out, indicating that this human teacher had sent a pet beast to monitor them some time ago, and had even forced them to change their training location.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang turned to look at Tingbao and thought to herself: Although I knew Tingbao was intelligent before, I hadn't paid much attention to it. But now I realize that Tingbao is not only intelligent, but also has a really good memory.

"Clear!"

Qingbao looked enlightened and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, I remember now!" It said the name sounded so familiar.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter also suddenly realized.

It turns out to be her!
It also remembered that the other teacher's pet was suspected to be a true fan of its own.

After saying that, he subconsciously started brushing his teeth again.

Michaela laughed and said, "I didn't expect that in your first interstellar competition, you would have fought against students from the other three top universities."

Although most interstellar competitions involve participants from the four top interstellar universities, it is still very rare to encounter players from all three in the same competition. After all, interstellar competitions are attended by outstanding individuals from across the entire interstellar space, and unless it is an interstellar academy-specific competition, it is not an easy thing to meet them.

"I didn't expect that either," Qiao Sang said. "But everyone here is pretty strong, so it's normal that we're more likely to encounter them later."

Michaela said, "That's because you took care of those two from Yantian University. If you hadn't defeated them before, Feng Fu from Yuanzhou University might not have survived until now." Qiao Sang didn't gloat: "Being able to survive until now speaks volumes about her strength."

Michaela didn't take it seriously. She had seen Feng Fu's matches before, and in her opinion, both Xia Huo and Jerome, whom he had previously fought, were stronger than Feng Fu.

Luck played a large part in the opponent's success in getting this far. If Qiao Sang had faced one of the same opponents as Feng Fu, the opponent wouldn't have been able to advance to the top ten so easily.

However, she didn't say those words out loud.

Thinking your opponent is weak is one thing, but you should never think you can win by playing casually. In past interstellar competitions, there have been many famous professional Beastmasters who lost because of underestimating their opponents. Qiao Sang does this very well. Even if the opponent is obviously not as good as her, she will thoroughly study their information.

In the blink of an eye, the live broadcast on TV had already shown the match times for each pair of players.

With only ten contestants remaining, the time allotted for the matches is ample, with one group each in the morning, afternoon, and evening, allowing the competition to be completed in two days.

Qiao Sang checked his match time.

The last group will be on the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

Michaela suddenly thought of something, glanced at Tingbao, and smiled:

"Tingbao's evolution time is quite good. Feng Fu happens to be one of the few remaining contestants who still has a general-level pet."

In the Master Challenge, pets below the Emperor level are basically useless. Whether a pet can win or not can usually be determined after the Emperor-level pets have finished their matches. Although Feng Fu has a General-level pet, like Ting Bao, it has never come out to fight.

Upon hearing this, Tingbao was first taken aback, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

Is it finally able to compete?
However, Qiao Sang remembered that Feng Fu's pet beast had already reached the late stage of the General level, and if it weren't for finding S-grade evolution materials, it would probably have evolved long ago. Ting Bao, on the other hand, had only recently evolved, and it was unlikely to fare well against this pet beast... Qiao Sang was just about to speak when suddenly, Ting Bao twisted its body, flew into the air, and looked at its beast tamer with a serious expression, calling out:
"Tingting".

It will go train now.

Qiao Sang immediately swallowed back what she was about to say. The first thought that came to her mind was: Tingbao really wanted to compete. It would never have chosen to practice extra training on its own before.

Then came the second thought:
Although Feng Fu's general-level pet has reached the late stage of general-level, this is indeed the only competition that Ting Bao might participate in next...

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, stood up, and said:

"I will go with you."

"Tingting".

Tingbao nodded vigorously.

……

at the same time.

River view hotel.

The room with the best view.

Feng Fu glanced at the match list and time on the TV, then suddenly picked up her phone and opened an app.

"Knowing who your next opponent is, you still have the mood to play on your phone?" Li Chaoyuan sat on the sofa and glanced at her indifferently.

"Let me check if there are any starship tickets back to Tianyuan Star the day after tomorrow," Feng Fu said while operating her phone.

Li Chaoyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Be promising. Don't forget the school's expectations of you."

“I know,” Feng Fu said while checking the starship tickets. “I will try my best to get one or two points from Qiao Sang.”

"Inch by inch".

Cunzhupa exclaimed with emotion, indicating that if Qiao Sang had sent Xiao Xunbao to fight first and fought to the end, you probably wouldn't have gotten a single point.

Feng Fu didn't understand and continued to examine the text.

Li Chaoyuan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Don't look at the day after tomorrow, look at ten days from now. Even if you're among the top ten, there will be encouragement awards and prize money."

Feng Fu: "Okay."

P.S.: I had a dream while sleeping this afternoon. I dreamt that I had a stockpile of drafts and could sleep peacefully, then I woke up. (End of Chapter)
