Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 109 Four Kings and One Horse? Qiao Bai: Social Death Only Takes a Second

Thinking about the speed at which the cat-like insect's claws had struck, Lu Wentao stroked his chin and said, "If you hadn't been so unlucky, it looks like you could have lasted a few more rounds?"

"But we're not combat-oriented, so just avoiding being eliminated in the first round is a victory!"

"Don't overthink it, it's too stressful."

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai immediately realized that his buddy next to him seemed to have misunderstood something. He didn't know if Lu Wentao was a noob, but he must have thought of Qiao Bai as someone important, otherwise he would never have said such comforting words.

However, Qiao Bai did not refute, but simply listened to Lu Wentao's words with a smile.

"One-round exit? We should at least try to last a few more rounds. We've come this far, we can't afford to lose even this much confidence." Qiao Bai said with a smile, "I still want to try and see if I can make it to the finals."

As soon as Qiao Bai finished speaking, he met Lu Wentao's gaze as he looked at the Warriors.

"Friend, it's good to have courage." Lu Wentao first gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up, then said, "But as a person, you still need to know your own limitations. Even if you don't understand other people's abilities, you should at least have some idea of ​​your own!"

As he spoke, he pointed to himself: "Me, a dish."

Then he pointed at Qiao Bai: "You, the other dish."

"Delicious, easy to chew. Anyone with decent teeth could easily devour both of us." Lu Wentao sighed. "Sigh, my pet beast is barely a four-star overall strength, while the average overall strength of the combat-type pet beasts is five stars... How are we supposed to fight them?"

"Moreover, you were admitted to the pet evolution major through a special admission program. With such outstanding research results, the time you spend on pet breeding and training is naturally less than that of the combat major, who are dedicated to pet breeding and training beast tamers."

Qiao Bai chuckled to himself.

This guy is overly self-aware.

"Since you know you're no good, why did you still participate in the competition?" Qiao Bai decided to skip this topic and change the subject.

"Hehehe, that's true—but this is a great opportunity to observe my future clients!" Lu Wentao puffed out his chest proudly. "Many people think that choosing pet care as a profession is cutting off my future, but I don't think so!"

"The more powerful a pet is, the more easily it is affected by its volatile emotions. Properly calming and communicating with it is essential!"

"Furthermore, their beast tamers certainly want their pets to be in better condition both internally and externally, so this profession has a very promising future!"

When talking about his hobbies and major, Lu Wentao was incredibly talkative, almost to the point of grabbing Qiao Bai's hand and asking her to switch majors with him.

Qiao Bai listened and nodded.

That's something.

Qiao Bai realized that compared to ordinary pet care, what Lu Wentao was talking about was closer to comforting and soothing the pet's mind... There was something to it, and most people couldn't do it.

Qiao Bai couldn't help but guess that if Lu Wentao didn't have special talent skills, then his contracted pet's ability was quite unique.

He didn't ask too many questions, after all, this was the first time the two had met, and they had known each other for no more than half an hour.

"Is that your pet beast in your arms? It looks quite unique. What kind of extraordinary creature is it?" As he spoke, Lu Wentao's gaze fell on the cat-like insect Qiao Bai was holding. His eyes were practically glowing as he looked at the insect. "You might not believe me just by talking. Want me to give you a demonstration? I guarantee your pet beast will be in top mental condition before it goes on stage!"

"Believe me!"

Lu Wentao patted his chest loudly.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

Qiao Bai looked down and met the gaze of the cat-like insect.

Catbug: QwO

I'm just a little kitten, Beast Tamer, what do you want to do to me?

Qiao Bai laughed.

"Do you have any special abilities?" Although Lu Wentao's words sounded very appealing, Qiao Bai was not a reckless person who would believe whatever others said.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Who knows if we've just encountered a smiling tiger with a honeyed tongue but a dagger in our hearts?

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Lu Wentao looked left and right, then leaned closer to Qiao Bai and lowered his voice, saying, "It's okay to tell you. After all, if I want to make a name for myself in the future, I still need to reveal my talents and skills."

"You're a famous professor of pet evolution, so remember to introduce me to some more high-quality clients in the future."

As he spoke, Lu Wentao revealed his innate skill: [Displacement].

That sounds a bit strange.

Displacement?

What are we replacing?

Through continuous development of his abilities, Lu Wentao discovered that he could remove the negative emotions and bad feelings of his pets from their bodies, and even exchange his mind and body with his pets for a short period of time.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai's eyes widened, her expression filled with indescribable shock.

"This... won't there be any problems if I swap bodies and minds with a pet?" Qiao Bai asked in shock.

"You're overthinking it. It can't be a long-term swap. At most, it's just three seconds. It's just a fleeting feeling of discomfort in the pet's body and mind before it's instantly expelled and swapped back." Lu Wentao waved his hand, straightened his back, and said casually, "It sounds pretty impressive, actually... well, it's still pretty impressive."

Lu Wentao nodded seriously.

Qiao Bai nodded as well.

"That's really impressive." If he could swap bodies and minds with his opponent's pet during a battle... or if Lu Wentao could transfer the pet's negative emotions out of him, could he transfer those negative emotions onto the pet?

Beastmasters are not allowed to use their innate skills in official competitions.

After all, not all beast tamers' talents and skills can provide immediate assistance to their pets.

However, some private competitions, or those with insufficient testing, cannot completely prevent Beastmasters from using their innate skills.

"Your talent skill is very suitable for breeding pets," Qiao Bai said sincerely. "Although it can't be used in formal competitions, it will definitely be very effective for training pets in ordinary times."

"I know." Lu Wentao wasn't surprised that Qiao Bai would say that. In his view, Qiao Bai himself was a professor of pet evolution, so he would naturally go in that direction immediately after hearing about his innate skills: "But I don't want to."

Lu Wentao shrugged.

"Perhaps it's because I've had so many experiences connecting with my pets... Compared to raising them, I want to do something for them, so I chose pet care as my major." Lu Wentao looked at the confident beast tamers on the field, their faces beaming with triumphant smiles, and a different light shone in his eyes: "I think I might be able to create a new path in pet care that's uniquely my own!"

"Maybe decades from now I'll be a titan in the industry! Those famous and skilled beast tamers will even bring their pets to me for treatment!"

"That's great ambition. I wish you success," Qiao Bai said with a smile, offering encouragement.

After getting serious for a while, Lu Wentao became a little embarrassed again. He chuckled and changed the subject: "So, do you want me to check on your pet? It's good to find problems early!"

"Honestly, if you want to make it to the finals... either your pet is strong enough to sweep through the competition; or you're lucky enough to never encounter anyone who can take you seriously; or a miracle happens." Lu Wentao patted his chest: "Compared to the first two, I think the last one is easier."

"I'm giving you a miracle buff!"

"Health rating: ten stars... I think there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Qiao Bai looked down at the cat-like creature nestled in his arms, its two dragon horns sticking out of his belly, its butt facing Lu Wentao, and said with a smile.

"A ten-star health rating?" Lu Wentao exclaimed in shock, "Goodness, your pet's condition is way too good! But if it's like this, it seems even harder for you to make it to the finals."

"Isn't a 10-star health rating good?" Qiao Bai didn't understand.

Since the staff didn't say anything yesterday, and Qiao Bai felt that the higher the health level, the better, he didn't ask any more questions about the health level.

But judging from what Lu Wentao said... having such a high level of health doesn't seem to be a good thing.

"Ah...that's not what I meant. How should I put it?" Lu Wentao frowned, looking a little conflicted. "A ten-star health rating is certainly good, as it means your pet is in its best physical and mental condition."

"However, generally speaking, a pet's health assessment star rating is around six to eight stars, with six or seven stars being more common. Whether it is lower or higher than this value, it is not good."

Because of advanced medical technology, unless a pet is contracted through illegal means, most health problems in normal pets are mental and psychological in origin.

"Some beast tamers, in pursuit of their pets' strength, will arrange heavy training programs and unreasonable breeding methods for their pets. These behaviors will increase the mental and psychological pressure and burden on the pets."

"If we don't address this, even if the physical wounds heal, the pet's mental and psychological state will slowly and gradually worsen."

Qiao Bai thought of the training he had given Xiao Wu before... Hmm.

indeed.

I understand.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai realized the problem later and turned things around.

"Beastmasters can help their pets relax and soothe their minds through daily routines and other means, but as long as the training methods don't change, it will always be a hidden danger." Lu Wentao shrugged. "Most experienced beastmasters are a little better at it; they know that while keeping things on high alert, they also need to loosen them up appropriately."

"But what about those who just became Beast Tamers..."

Qiao Bai and Lu Wentao both turned their gazes toward the beast tamers on the field.

"Especially in the combat system, many of them are too focused on the strength of their pets and the powerful skills they learn, and in the end... tsk tsk tsk." Lu Wentao shook his head and sighed deeply.

Then Lu Wentao turned his gaze back to Qiao Bai: "But your ten stars are a bit too outrageous!"

"Don't you ever train it? Do you just let it run wild?"

Lu Wentao looked at the chubby, round cat-like creature in Qiao Bai's arms, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"That's the only possibility. Otherwise, without professional guidance and intervention, I've never heard of a pet having a ten-star health rating!"

It's outrageous!

Qiao Bai hesitated.

Um... there's definitely training involved, quite a bit.

However, given the strength of the cat-like insect, it can easily defeat opponents of the same level.

pressure?

Sorry, it doesn't exist at all.

Even if there is a little pressure, it certainly doesn't come from the opponent, but from Xiao Wu, the big sister.

If it weren't for the small town of Wuzhen pressing down on Catbug's head, Qiao Bai would have no doubt that, given Catbug's personality, it would definitely be able to fly to the sky!

Considering Xiao Wu's health condition... Nine Stars.

I reckon that one star short was wasted on the cat bug.

Being a great leader isn't easy.

Xiaowu: (｀⌒メ)

Agreed!

I couldn't agree more!

That's all there is to it!

However, Qiao Bai believes that there is another very important reason why Cat Bug can achieve a health level of ten stars: Cat Bug is naturally carefree!

Day after day, besides eating, drinking, and vying for attention... cough, there's nothing else that can get the cat-like insect's attention.

Psychological stress?

Mental stress?

Just kidding.

Qiao Bai smiled slightly and decided to skip the topic.

It's hard to explain, and I'm afraid the more I explain, the stranger it will become.

"Okay, looking at its chubby appearance, it's not hard to understand why its mental and psychological state is so good." Before Qiao Bai could speak, Lu Wentao had already found a reasonable explanation for Qiao Bai and the cat-like insect's situation.

"Hmm... Good luck, just try not to run into any combat-type enemies, and avoid the Four Kings and One Horse this time, try to survive and make it to the finals..." Lu Wentao paused and hesitated for a moment, then continued, "It's not entirely impossible, is it?"

Qiao Bai: "..."

You could tell Lu Wentao was reluctant, and how much he distrusted him and Maomaochong.

Catbug was also furious when he heard Lu Wentao's words.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

What?

Distrust of the dragon's strength?

The dragon wants to fight you one-on-one!

Awooooo—One-on-one!

The cat-like bug flapped its seven legs, about to pounce on Lu Wentao, but Qiao Bai had already realized that the cat-like bug would definitely get angry, so she hugged it tightly, thus saving Lu Wentao from being kicked in the face by the face-hugging bug.

"Four Kings and One Horse? What is this?" Qiao Bai asked curiously, while holding the cat-like insect tightly with one arm to prevent it from jumping out and causing trouble, and patting its back to soothe it.

"These are the most likely winners in this competition," Lu Wentao said casually. Seeing Qiao Bai still looking completely clueless, he suddenly widened his eyes: "No way, you came to participate in the competition without even gathering any information?"

Qiao Bai nodded: "Otherwise what?"

"Are you serious?!" Lu Wentao was shocked by Qiao Bai once again. He put one hand to his forehead, looking at himself with an expression that said, "I used to think I was weird enough, but I never thought I'd meet someone like you..."

Lu Wentao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

I don't know how to describe Qiao Bai.

Looking at Qiao Bai, and then at the cat-like creature in Qiao Bai's arms, whose health was said to be ten stars, Lu Wentao was very curious about a question at this moment—can the mindset of a pet and the mindset of a beast tamer be shared?

Otherwise, how could this person and their pet be so carefree?

If Lu Wentao hadn't already known that Qiao Bai was a somewhat famous professor of pet evolution, he would have reasonably suspected that Qiao Bai had run into a rich man's silly roe deer.

Joe the Silly Spore White: Huh?

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a brief explanation then," Lu Wentao sighed helplessly.

Meeting is fate, and Qiao Bai is so supportive of his career, so Lu Wentao felt that he should take on the responsibility of his good brother's dream and help his good brother realize the gap between reality and dreams.

"Actually, I don't know everyone, but there are four famous freshmen in the Yulong and Honghu combat departments." Lu Wentao said, pointing to a boy not far away who was dressed in trendy clothes, dressed in a very hip-hop style, chewing gum, and about the same age as them.

"Look, it's him, Fu Tianguang, one of the freshmen in the Combat Department of Yulong University this year. He is one of the strong contenders for the top spot in the freshman Combat Department, and his pet beast comprehensive strength is eight stars."

Qiao Bai: Huh?

Overall strength: 8 stars?

Four Kings?

Qiao Bai seemed to realize something—oh, this person is one of the four people with eight-star overall strength that the staff secretly told him about yesterday.

"What is his pet beast?" Qiao Bai suddenly became curious.

"Golden Armored Pterodactyl, a Steel + Flying type pet. Although it's not a Dragon type, it's a branch of the Dragon species and is invincible in aerial combat." Lu Wentao said, shaking his head involuntarily.

"He had only been contracted with the Golden Armored Pterodactyl for a little over a year when he went to participate in the league cup of Red Town University in his province during the first semester of his senior year of high school. Although he did not win the championship, he squeezed into the top ten with his Golden Armored Pterodactyl."

Red Town University is, after all, a top-tier university for taming beasts.

This time, the Yulong and Honghu league also invited two of their students... This shows how powerful Fu Tianguang's pet beasts are.

"And then he was admitted to Yulong College ahead of schedule?" Qiao Bai said with admiration, "Impressive, impressive."

If you don't go out and see the world, you'll really start to think you're invincible.

He glanced at Fu Tianguang a couple more times. As if sensing Qiao Bai's gaze, Fu Tianguang also looked in Qiao Bai's direction, his eyes sweeping over the cat-like insect in Qiao Bai's arms before turning away indifferently.

Lu Wentao didn't notice Fu Tianguang's scrutinizing glance. He smiled and continued, "The other one... I didn't see him. Anyway, he's also a freshman at Yulong. This one is quite interesting."

"How so?" Qiao Bai sensed there was more to this story and asked curiously.

"Zhang Hongyi grew up in the North China Military Region. His father was a corps commander and it is said that he always wanted to train Zhang Hongyi to be a soldier who would guard the North China Military Region."

"Zhang Hongyi himself is also quite capable, having contracted a Fighting-type Blood Lion King." Lu Wentao sighed, "The difference between people... That Lion King is said to be six meters tall! Its entire body has a special color, like fresh blood."

"His father's plan for Zhang Hongyi was to attend military academy, take the military exam, and become a military beast tamer."

"Then Yulong somehow managed to poach him." Lu Wentao's expression became somewhat complicated as he spoke: "I heard that Zhang Hongyi's father was so angry that he was jumping up and down at home, saying that if Zhang Hongyi dared not to go to military school, he would sever his father-son relationship with him."

Qiao Bai's expression was somewhat complicated.

It's difficult to make a judgment without knowing the full picture.

But Yulong's corner digging... was truly skillful!

"In short, the top student in the combat department of Yulong University is definitely either Fu Tianguang or Zhang Hongyi. Both of them have eight-star pets."

Then Lu Wentao turned his gaze to Honghu's side... After looking around, as if he didn't see the person he was looking for, he turned his gaze back.

"The remaining two are Honghu's? Yulong and Honghu are truly evenly matched." Qiao Bai could tell at a glance.

Under Lu Wentao's description, Qiao Bai gradually became interested in the four beast tamers who, like him, had a combined four-star strength in the pet test.

In addition, since Yulong's two beast tamers sound so powerful, Honghu's two eight-star pet beast tamers shouldn't be too bad either, right?

"Those two beast tamers from Honghu... well, they're twin sisters. She probably hasn't arrived yet?" Lu Wentao regretfully withdrew his gaze. "They're incredibly beautiful, and their names are lovely too. The older sister is called Shen Ruoyan, and the younger sister is called Shen Ruowan. Of course, their aura is also incredibly fierce; most people wouldn't dare to meet their eyes."

"But I really don't know what their pet beasts are."

Lu Wentao shrugged, his face showing obvious regret.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Men's curiosity about women is ingrained in their genes, right?

"To summarize, all four of them have an eight-star overall pet strength rating, making them the most likely to win this league championship," Lu Wentao said seriously. "These four are known as the Four Kings of this competition, but just yesterday—it is said that a dark horse has emerged from nowhere, whose overall pet strength rating is also eight stars."

"The Four Kings and One Horse, these five people, if they are not strong enough to meet them, they will only be eliminated."

Qiao Bai: "..."

Good guy.

He exclaimed, "Wow!"

Qiao Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with the four contestants from Yulong and Honghu being grouped together as the "Four Kings".

Very vivid.

It's a bit of an exaggeration.

The title of "Wang" is a bit embarrassing and undeserved.

But since it had nothing to do with Qiao Bai, he could calmly watch the drama unfold from the sidelines.

But Qiao Bai never expected that there was actually some connection between them, not much, but it was something—a horse.

No?

Who on earth came up with such an outrageous name?

The dark horse is simply called "One Horse"... Is it polite to use such a name for someone like that?!

Qiao Bai was both annoyed and amused, but in the end he didn't say anything.

I just hope that this guy who's been rumored to be "four kings and one horse" doesn't end up going up against him.

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

Finally, before 9:30, all the contestants had arrived.

The venue could easily fit over two hundred of them, but the clash of their auras gave the audience a sense of fierce competition.

Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan, who arrived at the venue in the last ten minutes and bought tickets, couldn't help but look in the direction where the contestants were gathered as soon as they sat in the audience.

Where is Qiao Bai?

"I think I can't see Qiao Bai anymore!"

"There are just too many people, wait a minute, we should see Qiao Bai soon!"

The three of them chatted excitedly, and the audience around them cast friendly glances at them and started talking to them.

"Do you have friends participating in the competition?" an older woman asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's our classmate, but I don't think I saw him." Qi Yue craned her neck but still couldn't see clearly, and finally could only sit back down with a sigh.

"You two have such a good relationship." The aunt smiled. "My son is also participating in the competition, so I came to see him. Let's wait together; maybe we'll see them soon."

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei nodded repeatedly.

They've already started to look forward to it.

Li Gan, on the other hand, was calm and focused, preparing something big.

……

"All contestants look at their respective numbers on their entry cards, and two contestants will be randomly selected by the backstage staff to compete against each other."

"Three groups will battle simultaneously each time."

"The big screen will be divided into three sections to fairly display the battles between each group, but only the most exciting battle will be enlarged and voted on to be displayed on the largest screen."

The guide who communicated with them spoke earnestly and patiently.

Qiao Bai looked around.

He had just noticed that there were screens of all sizes throughout the venue, with three huge screens in the very center, back to back forming a triangle. No matter where you were sitting in the audience, you could see the images on these three screens.

During the battle, the footage on these three screens will initially be split into three parts, and then the most exciting part will be played.

The small screens on all sides will display the battles of the other two groups.

The main point is that the stronger you are, the more attention you can attract, and you can even become famous overnight.

Everyone present was a teenager.

Who can resist the sense of glory that comes from being watched by everyone?

Most people can't do it.

Qiao Bai was one of the few contestants who remained relatively calm. He glanced around the dense crowd and noticed that Fu Tianguang and Zhang Hongyi, whom Lu Wentao had just mentioned, also had indifferent expressions.

On the contrary, the two bright and beautiful sisters in the crowd held each other's hands, their eyes sparkling with a kind of ambition.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Is this a man-eating flower?

This is more than just "sharp" can describe... Qiao Bai shook his head.

The sisters didn't look at Qiao Bai; their gazes swept over Fu Tianguang and Zhang Hongyi before returning to their own.

After explaining the battle method, players are randomly assigned and the process is completed with a single click.

Qiao Bai looked at his number, 136, while his opponent's number was 201. It seemed they would have to wait a while before it was their turn to play.

Qiao Bai didn't mind and found another seat to sit down, joining the others to watch the ongoing match.

To Qiao Bai's surprise, one of the first contestants to take the stage was one of the Shen sisters. Although she didn't know if she was the older or younger sister, it was clear that her opponent turned pale and looked utterly desperate upon seeing her.

"Let's begin."

Shen Ruoyan raised her chin and spoke calmly to the player opposite her.

The male player opposite him had a face full of red, purple, and black grime, as if he had been provoked by Shen Ruoyan's tone. He gritted his teeth and released his pet beast, a three-meter-tall water monster, which appeared on the field, and the damp smell came from afar.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy's luck isn't so good." Lu Wentao found Qiao Bai again at some point, and he easily found a seat next to Qiao Bai: "Fang Ming, this is a freshman in our school's combat department. He's quite strong, one of the top four in our school's combat department."

"His water monster is also a six-star pet in terms of overall strength. The teacher thought that if he persevered, he should have a chance to make it to the finals. Who would have thought..."

Qiao Bai continued, "Who would have thought that we'd run into Shen Ruoyan in the very first round?"

Looking at the name displayed on the big screen, Qiao Bai knew that this was the older twin.

"He's had some bad luck." Lu Wentao nodded, speaking as if it were a serious matter: "He couldn't even make it past the first round."

"But who knows?" Lu Wentao hesitated for a moment, "If the water monster's attributes happen to be able to counter Shen Ruoyan's pet... maybe he can still give it a shot?"

Qiao Bai shook his head: "The difference in strength cannot be easily overcome by relying on attribute advantages."

It's like saying Little U and Cat Bug have never fought against each other with opposite attributes... Is this a matter of attribute advantage?

Attributes aren't a panacea!

"That's true." Lu Wentao agreed with Qiao Bai, his gaze towards Fang Ming and the water monster now filled with pity: "That's fate!"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw the pet beast that Shen Ruoyan had released.

It's like ice, like water, and like flowing slime.

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then realized: "This... it's a Water + Ice type Water-Water-Ice, right?"

"Yes...it seems to be Shui Shui Bing..." Lu Wentao's eyes widened, his tone filled with disbelief: "I can understand it now, why her pet's overall strength is eight stars."

Water, water, ice.

A very rare, extraordinary creature resembling the most primitive form of elements.

It can only be encountered in extremely cold places.

Furthermore, it can hide in glaciers or lakes at any time, and its unique appearance, which closely resembles the most primitive form of the elements, gives it excellent concealment capabilities.

Therefore, even if some beast tamers can defeat Water Ice, it is definitely not an easy task to form a Water Ice contract.

Who can blame it for being such a master of hide-and-seek?

Similarly, Water-Ice is extremely powerful in both skills and grade. It is a high-level, low-tier extraordinary creature that has a natural suppression of water and ice attribute extraordinary creatures, and can deal up to five times the damage to extraordinary creatures with the element it counters.

There are many beast tamers who specialize in water-attribute creatures, and their dream of an extraordinary creature is a water-ice hybrid.

Qiao Bai: "The water monster is doomed to lose."

Lu Wentao: "Fang Ming is gone."

as predicted.

Just as Qiao Bai and Lu Wentao said.

Shui Shui Bing killed the water monster in one move.

As the three-meter-tall water monster collapsed, tears of sorrow streamed down Fang Ming's face.

There's so little sense of participation.

The loss was devastating.

Many beast tamers who, like Fang Ming, possess water-attribute pets share his feelings.

Imagine what would happen if they met Shen Ruoyan... Well, their faces have already darkened.

How do I play?

How can they, who are naturally suppressed by water and ice, fight back?

It's not a big deal at all!

fall!

"I have an idea." Lu Wentao looked at Fang Ming, who had instantly fled the scene and was practically kneeling and crying while hugging his water monster, and said in a slightly unsteady voice, "If you can even form a contract with extraordinary creatures like Water Ice, what do you think your sister Shen Ruowan's pet beast will be?"

"Molten fire." Qiao Bai immediately understood what Lu Wentao meant: "It could also be thunder and lightning."

"I think it's Molten Fire," Lu Wentao said seriously, holding up a finger. "That's more symmetrical."

"Water + Ice attribute Water Water Ice and Fire + Special attribute Molten Fire seem a bit incompatible, right?" Qiao Bai looked at Shen Ruoyan, who was walking towards her younger sister after leaving the stage, and Shen Ruowan, who was walking towards her older sister. The two of them were holding hands, and it was clear that they had a very good relationship.

With such incompatible contracts, and pets that are likely to fight if placed together, don't you really think there's a problem?

"What's that!" Lu Wentao waved his hand dismissively, feeling that this was no problem at all.

The game on the field continues.

Lu Wentao went on stage to compete before Qiao Bai.

Then Qiao Bai saw Lu Wentao's pet beast. At first glance, it looked like a butterfly, but its body was much larger, a full two meters long. Its wings, which resembled butterfly wings, were covered with rings of dark blue and dark purple patterns. Looking at it for a long time would make people feel dizzy.

It is a Dream Butterfly with special attributes, evolved from the Little Fairy Butterfly.

Thinking about Lu Wentao's innate skills... Qiao Bai was no longer surprised why he would contract such a pet beast.

Perhaps the Dream Butterfly isn't very strong, and its attack ability is practically nonexistent, but it's definitely a master at mental confusion and control.

"Dream Butterfly, use Confusion!"

"Dream Butterfly, use the Dream Entry skill!"

Lu Wentao's voice rang out one after another on the field.

The main strategy is to control the opponent's pet until it dies.

What?

You want to attack?

Sorry.

There's no chance.

As long as the opponent's pet cannot land a fatal blow immediately and send Dream Butterfly off the field, Dream Butterfly can rely on its continuous follow-up sustain to completely control the opponent's pet, leaving it with no chance to attack.

Lu Wentao's match against his opponent was the longest of the three groups in this round.

After all, it can only be determined that the other party has lost its ability to fight if the other party is unable to retaliate for ten minutes.

Lu Wentao then directed the Dream Butterfly to completely control the opponent and hold out until the tenth minute.

Lu Wentao's opponent: "...Pah! You dog king!"

"Thank you for the compliment, thank you for the compliment." Lu Wentao chuckled, completely oblivious to the insult directed at him, and even laughed heartily. He retracted his Dream Butterfly, humming a little tune as he skipped over to Qiao Bai's side: "Very good, I have achieved my goal for participating in this competition."

"I absolutely made a lasting impression on everyone present!"

"...Profound, very profound." Qiao Bai said helplessly, "After all, not everyone can do that, truly controlling their opponent so tightly for ten minutes that they have no chance to fight back."

"Actually, you're quite capable."

Qiao Bai gave a serious evaluation.

Really.

I'm not kidding.

There are limits to control.

During Lu Wentao's match, Qiao Bai observed carefully and found that he had really perfected the cooldown and connection of his skills. If he made even a slight mistake, the opponent's pet would be able to recover and launch an attack on the Dream Butterfly.

But Lu Wentao stubbornly refused to give his opponent the opportunity to seize the opening.

Putting aside other things.

Lu Wentao has very strong calculation skills.

"Hehe, stop praising me, or I'll really take off." Lu Wentao chuckled, waved his hand, and said with a very good attitude, "Like I said, I know my own situation. I planned this round of control half a month in advance."

"As long as the opponent is not one of the Four Kings and One Horse, and the opponent cannot send me out of the field immediately, I can use this combo."

"But my next opponent will definitely be wary of me. They'll fight tooth and nail to get rid of me as soon as possible." Lu Wentao shrugged as he spoke.

That's indeed the case, Qiao Bai nodded.

Once a pet's abilities and weaknesses are exposed, it shouldn't be blamed for being targeted by others.

Everyone wants to win, and making reasonable countermeasures based on the leaked intelligence is itself a tactic.

"I'm really looking forward to your match." Lu Wentao looked at Qiao Bai with bright eyes: "Yours..."

He stared at the cat-like insect in Qiao Bai's arms, hesitated for two seconds, and whispered, "Can it really fight?"

It looks tiny.

Its body is round and chubby, and it doesn't look like it's very powerful at all!

Just before lunchtime, it was finally Qiao Bai's turn to fight.

"Brother, keep going! I'll be cheering you on from below!" Lu Wentao clenched his fists and shouted to Qiao Bai, "It's okay even if you lose!"

Qi Yue instantly regained her senses.

"Hmm? Is it finally Qiao Bai's turn?" Qi Yue opened her eyes, wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth, and straightened up, looking towards the center of the arena. Sure enough, there was Qiao Bai's figure.

"That's great..." Qi Yue was just about to say something.

A loud sound suddenly rang out from the side.
