The beast starts from zero

Chapter 1434 On the Eve of the Finals

It seems that the power of bonds is just right to counter sleep-type skills... Since Lefeb doesn't have any pets that evolve through the power of bonds, he doesn't need to be afraid of this... But speaking of which, he has a pet that can sense the good and evil thoughts of the creatures around it. If it can't sense them in a dream, it might be discovered... Various thoughts flashed through Josang's mind.

"Did Steel Treasure see through the dream through the power of bonds?" Michaela asked after a moment's thought, having witnessed this scene.

Qiao Sang hummed in agreement: "When it saw me, it knew the dream was fake."

Michaela pondered, "Pet beasts with the power of bonds are indeed the nemesis of dream-type skills. It's a pity that Little Treasure Hunter doesn't know everything about dreams, otherwise he wouldn't have to be afraid of the power of bonds."

Omniscient Dream, a super-level skill, is a super-upgraded version of hypnosis. If Omniscient Dream reaches a certain level, one of its functions is to allow the dreamer to sense the thoughts and ideas of the target in the dream. In this way, even with the power of bonds, a virtual entity can be created based on the target's inner thoughts, allowing communication with it through the power of bonds.

“Leifed has no pets with the power of bondage,” Josang said, “but his Mirror Aura can sense the good and evil of his targets, and he seems to be able to immediately realize it even in dreams.”

“Indeed.” Michaela suddenly thought of something, glanced at Little Treasure Hunter, and said, “If you put it that way, there is a high probability that Mirror Spirit will be able to defeat Little Treasure Hunter, and it’s not just because of the dream.”

"Mirror Spirit is a royal-level psychic-type pet with powerful mental strength. I believe that compared to skills like hypnosis and dream-eating, Lefebvre should be more wary of Little Treasure Hunter's Substitute skill. Mirror Spirit's ability to distinguish between good and evil can effectively identify whether it is a Substitute."

“I know,” Qiao Sang said. “It can also detect whether the other party has transformed and directly reveal their true form. I think Little Treasure Hunt should be able to match it.”

"Searching..."

Little Treasure Hunter listened to the conversation, silently took out his phone, logged onto a search engine, and typed in "Little Treasure Hunter..."

When I typed "宝", it deleted everything and retyped "Which is stronger, the Underworld Lord or the Mirror Spirit?"

With only one round-robin match left in the Master Challenge, and only Josan and Leifeld remaining as players, there has been heated online discussion about the strength of their pets, and the debate continues.

Little Treasure Hunter quickly found what he wanted to see and clicked to browse it.

"The competition is tomorrow. If we're facing off against the Mirror Spirit Detector, there's no need to improve our Dream Weaving ability. I suggest we train other abilities instead," Michaela said calmly.

"I understand." Qiao Sang turned to look at Xiao Xunbao.

Seeing it holding a phone, I couldn't help but lean over and ask, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking around~"

While scrolling through its phone, Little Treasure Hunt barked once, indicating that it was checking everyone's opinions on whether it or Mirror Spirit was stronger.

People are already discussing this online... Yeah, tomorrow's the last match... Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and said seriously:

"There are bound to be all sorts of rumors online. To get a unified story, we need to go by the actual results. Let's go train first; the competition is tomorrow."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure put down his phone, gave a "that makes sense" look, called out, and then looked at Steel Treasure.

"Steel Power".

Gangbao immediately understood what Xiaoxunbao was going to do. He calmly called out, indicating that his Beastmaster had said he would not be practicing dream-making anymore. He added that Xiaoxunbao's ability would definitely be suppressed when he faced the Mirror Spirit Appraisal tomorrow.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang said, “Let’s practice other skills as usual first.”

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded without hesitation, his eyes glowing blue as he disappeared from the spot with his Beastmaster and Steel Treasure.

"Xia Xia..."

Xia Lala, who had been eating quietly and listening to the conversation, was stunned when she saw this, and the food in her mouth suddenly didn't taste so good.

It jumped off the sofa, wanting to follow.

Penjame glanced at it, then called out to her beastmaster:
"Spray?"

Should we go over there too?

“Of course,” Michaela said.

Penjami's eyes glowed blue as she vanished from the spot, along with her Beastmaster, the Dragon King, and Sharara.

"In the end..."

In the empty living room, Jiu Bu Gu silently appeared.

……

"boom!"

"Oh!"

On the open ground, Ya Bao and the others had already begun their training.

Despite it being nighttime, the temperature was frighteningly high, as if one were in a furnace. The air in the open space was distorted, and invisible flames kept falling, blasting the ground into one crater after another.

But then, the temperature plummeted, and the entire open space was covered with a thick layer of ice, turning it into an ice field.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, it only lasted for a moment before the invisible flames fell again, smashing the ice shell to pieces.

Lu Bao looked up at Ya Bao high in the sky, and the chill emanating from her body visibly spread outwards.

The next second, Ya Bao's body was covered in an ice shell, turning into an ice sculpture, and he fell from the sky.

However, during its descent, scorching magma flowed within the ice shell, rapidly melting it away completely.

"Ya Ya!"

Ya Bao steadied himself in the air and let out a roar.

The temperature on the open ground rose again.

"Searching..."

Looking at the venue that was constantly heating up and cooling down, Little Treasure swallowed hard and drifted away to an open space in the distance that hadn't been affected by the heat.

Gangbao followed.

Qiao Sang thought of something, found a spot to sit cross-legged, took out his phone, and logged onto the official forum of the Master Challenge.

Then I saw a post that was highlighted in red and pinned to the top.

#Leifred vs. Josan, who will prevail?#
Qiao Sang clicked on the post:

Tomorrow is the final match of the Masters Challenge's round-robin tournament. Serana has lost two games in a row and is already eliminated. Between Lefebvre and Josang, who do you think has a better chance of winning, and why?

The post was published in the afternoon, and the comments section already has over 10,000.

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Lefebvre. As soon as the list for this year's Masters Challenge came out, I knew he would win."

[Lefeld's fans, please keep quiet. Serana said in an interview that Jossan has a better chance of winning.]

I think either of them could win; it mainly depends on the order in which they summon their pets.

[If you look at this, Lefebvre would definitely win; his lineup arrangement was almost flawless.]

[Josang is very strong, but Lefebvre is not only strong, but also has a wealth of combat experience, so it should be a 50/50 match.]

[Upstairs, you said that Lefebvre is not only strong but also has rich combat experience, so why is it a 50/50 chance? Shouldn't he have a better chance of winning?]

[Josang is a monster, and she's been hiding a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Who knows if she has any other trump cards up her sleeve after today's battle with Serana.]

[Lefebvre 6:3 Jossan.]

[I'm a Lefebvre fan, but to be honest, after watching Josan and Serana's fight today, Lefebvre was really in danger.]

I support Qiao Sang, but I'm not optimistic about her; she's still too young.

[They're so young they've already made it to the finals; age is no problem for Jordan at all.]

Anything is possible, but considering her shutout victory over Serana, I think Josan will win in the end.

There are more people supporting me than I expected... Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised after reading some of the comments.

She had seen similar posts when she fought Xia Huo before. You know, back then, even when she fought Xia Huo, no one had high hopes for her. She never expected that now, when she fights Leifeld, so many people would support her...

Josang remembered something important, exited the thread, and typed out the following: #What do Lefebvre and Josang's lineups counter respectively?#
The restraint between pets is sometimes not simply a matter of attributes. Leifeld's fans definitely know more about him than I do, and may even know some things I don't.

The Masters Challenge is one of the most popular StarCraft tournaments right now, and even people who don't watch the matches regularly but only watch video clips are discussing it.

Within just one second, several more messages appeared below.

"Xia Xia?"

At this moment, Xia Lala came over, looked at the screen, and called out, "What are you looking at?"
Qiao Sang was not surprised by the appearance of Sha Lala. She had noticed it when Teacher Michaela and Penjami appeared out of thin air.

"I'm looking at what everyone's saying about Lefebvre and me, and I also want to see which of Lefebvre's pets they think are effective against Ya Bao and the others," Qiao Sang said truthfully while scrolling through her phone.

"Xia Xia."

Sharara shouted confidently, indicating that she believed Sharara would definitely win.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang looked at it and asked with a smile, "You trust me that much?"

"Xia Xia!"

Xia Lala nodded vigorously.

Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she patted its head, saying, "I won't let you down."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala's eyes curved into crescent moons.

Qiao Sang put down her hand and continued reading everyone's comments.

Xia Lala stayed quietly by her side without disturbing her.

[Team composition counters? Let me tell you, Little Treasure Hunt counters everything.]

[Agreed. To win the Little Treasure Hunt, you'd have to trade it for Lefebvre's Nebula Fairy.]

Nebula Fairy is a dual-attribute pet of the Fairy and Psychic types, and is also Lefebvre's ace pet.

[That depends on the gender of the Ring Lord. By the way, is the Ring Lord male or female?]

Nebula Fairy… Qiao Sang became wary.

Lefebvre's Nebula Fairy is male, so if it were to fight against Ruby and Steel...

Qiao Sang subconsciously imagined the scene of Lu Bao and Gang Bao being bewitched, but he couldn't quite picture it.

However, once the Charm skill reaches its ultimate level, even the most determined pets of the same level may be charmed for a period of time.

Although Lefebvre might not know the genders of Lubo and Gorbo, the coin divination can predict the best lineup, which might put Nebula Fairy against Lubo or Gorbo...

It's more likely to be a battle against Grimm, since Lupo can freeze everything, no matter how fast it is. If it were to fight Grimm, Fairy Nebula could overwhelm it with speed...

Qiao Sang looked at the comments on the post and analyzed them carefully.

"Steel Power".

Suddenly, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind.

It is not afraid of seduction; if it encounters a Nebula Fairy, it will pluck a hair and be ready to prick itself at any time.

"Pfft..." Qiao Sang couldn't help but laugh out loud, then, as if remembering something, she said in her mind:

"You've reminded me. You and I share a bond, and the other party might realize that. They might think you can quickly break free from the charm effect through this bond. In that case, Nebula Fairy might be facing Loubo instead..."

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure exclaimed in his mind, indicating that the power of bonds was quite useful.

"Now you know the benefits?" Qiao Sang teased in his mind, "You used to always find the power of bonds troublesome."

"Steel Power".

Steelbao responded with a sound.

You were the same way; you used to always block out thoughts when you discovered you could.

Qiao Sang: "..."

While he was talking to Steel, Michaela came over and asked, "Why is it still the same training method as usual?"

"I want to analyze which pets Lefebvre will send out to fight Ya Bao and the others tomorrow before adjusting the training methods," Qiao Sang said.

Michaela smiled, took out his phone, and said, "I've already analyzed it for you. Now I'll send you the lineups that the opponent might use against Ya Bao and the others. Just train Ya Bao and the others according to the lineups listed above."

"Great!" Qiao Sang's eyes lit up as she looked at her phone.

She had no doubt about Michaela's analytical abilities.

She opened the file and quickly saw the corresponding matchup lineup.

……

Two o'clock in the morning.

Inside the room, Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard with a laptop on his lap, typing away as he worked on a battle plan for the upcoming match.

The final match of the championship round-robin tournament starts at 8 p.m., so she still has a whole day to train.

As she continued fighting, she couldn't help but rub her temples.

At that moment, a faint blue light shone down, and the slight fatigue that Qiao Sang had just felt instantly vanished.

As the eerie blue light faded, she looked at Lu Bao in the water tank, lowered her voice, and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao also lowered her voice and called out, indicating that she thought you should need her.

This is so thoughtful... Qiao Sang was touched when she heard this and said, "I'm fine, you should go to sleep. You can treat me when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao glanced at her beast tamer, judged that she was in excellent condition, nodded, put her head back in the water, and closed her eyes.

Qiao Sang continued to work on the plan.

"Steel power..."

Suddenly, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind.

To win...

I must win...

What competition was he dreaming about again...? Qiao Sang glanced at the sleeping Gang Bao and suppressed the urge to laugh.

Steel Treasure is unaware that when it dreams, the thoughts that occasionally arise in its dreams are simultaneously reflected in her mind.

Although it was in the same state as usual during this time, she knew from the thoughts that arose in her dreams that Gangbao really wanted to win.

Will we win...?

She really wanted to win...
