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

Chapter 110 Lu Wentao: The Dark Horse is Right Beside Me? The Shocking Moment Brought by Qiao Bai!

"Daddy! Ganbatte!"

Turning his head, he saw Li Gan holding a megaphone he had pulled out from somewhere, shouting loudly towards the center of the field, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Qiao Bai on the field: "..."

He silently turned his head away.

Can he pretend he doesn't know this person?

They weren't really close.

Standing opposite Qiao Bai was a short-haired girl who was about 1.5 meters tall and had a round, apple-shaped face.

"Wow! That person is so brave!" The round-faced girl stared in shock at the audience, her mouth agape. "To address his friend like that in public and cheer him on like that, they must have a really good relationship."

"It's just that friends might be a bit socially awkward."

The round-faced girl nodded seriously, her expression a mixture of envy, pity, and rejection.

I was touched, but I refused.

Qiao Bai: He's the same.

"I wonder which of us is so lucky to have such a devoted friend," the round-faced girl said with a smile, then looked at Qiao Bai with her big, watery eyes: "Why aren't you smiling?"

Qiao Bai: "..."

What do you say?

Because he is naturally not fond of smiling.

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

"Let's get started." Qiao Bai wore a sophisticated, forced smile, then put the cat-like insect in his arms down.

The round-faced girl instantly forgot about her earlier outburst: "Is this your pet?"

Wow! It looks so cute!

"Hmm..." The round-faced girl watched the cat-like insect wriggling its seven legs, looking very busy and chaotic, and not at all like a smart or capable creature. She thought for a couple of seconds and said, "I'll be gentler when I make my move later. Trust me, I won't keep you waiting too long."

As she spoke, the round-faced girl waved her hand, and a two-meter-tall Earth Dragon appeared on the field. It had strong limbs, a round belly, and a pair of chubby legs behind it. It looked like it might not even be able to fly after flapping its wings a couple of times.

Cat Bug: (◣ω◢)

hateful!

dragon!

What an ugly dragon!

Little Dragon absolutely refuses to admit that this is a dragon!

It is indeed a Dragon + Earth-attribute pet, the Earth-Splitting Dragon: "?"

"Roar?"

What does it mean if I'm a dragon?

you?

Little Meilong?

What a joke!

Cat Bug: Rage value UPUPUP↑

Qiao Bai opened his mouth and then closed it again... Ah, it felt like he didn't even need to say anything; the cat-like insect's fighting power was already at its maximum.

Compared to psychological counseling.

It's better to let the dragon-type opponent taunt you a bit, and the cat-bug's ultimate buff will be applied immediately.

Cat Bug: Kill it!

in the audience.

"Earth Dragon? This opponent is a bit too..." unlucky, isn't it?

Whether it was Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, or Li Gan, no one believed that Qiao Bai would lose.

Isn't it just a Ground Dragon?

It's hard to say how well the Cat Bug will fare against other extraordinary creatures, but against extraordinary creatures with dragon attributes or dragon species, it's absolutely guaranteed to be a disaster.

The first victim was Li Gan.

The second victim was a beast tamer with a dragon-attribute pet in the official training ground in Nanyang.

Thinking of how the other person and his pet were beaten to a pulp and appeared before Qiao Bai... well, the three of them all silently prayed for this seemingly cute girl.

Amen.

Don't be sad.

A battle can be over in the blink of an eye, so don't doubt your life.

"Ah, that must be your friend, right?" The aunt who had been talking to Qi Yue and the others pointed at Qiao Bai and said, "He's having a bit of bad luck, the Earth-Splitting Dragon... This little girl seems to be my son's classmate, from the Combat Department of Jade Dragon University. I heard she's really good."

"I think they said her Earthshaker's overall strength was six stars?"

"Dragon-type pets are inherently stronger and more difficult to raise than regular pets. This little girl looks small and adorable, and she seems quite skilled at raising pets!"

As she spoke, the aunt seemed to remember that Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan had come for Qiao Bai, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face: "But your friends aren't bad either, they just had a little bad luck..."

"It's okay, Auntie, we believe in him!" Qi Yue said with a confident expression, clenching her fist.

Lin Weiwei nodded repeatedly from the side.

Li Gan wiped his nose, raised his head and puffed out his chest: "Those who run into my great-father are truly unlucky!"

The kind-hearted auntie: "?"

No?

Is this young man really that amazing?

But wasn't it said that he wasn't a combat-type?

The aunt looked at Qiao Bai curiously and noticed his pet beast... a small, blue, chubby creature that was impossible to identify... The aunt nodded inwardly.

This is probably just a filter between friends.

She'd better not expose him.

Thinking about it, the aunt glanced at the name again, Qiao Bai... Why does it sound so familiar?

Before the aunt could even remember, the battle between Qiao Bai and the round-faced girl had already begun.

"Earthquake, armor! Then use Stomp!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the round-faced girl immediately went into battle mode, her relaxed smile vanishing completely as she shouted loudly at the Earthshaker.

"Roar—!"

A layer of yellowish-brown protective layer first appeared on the Earth Splitter's body, and then it raised its foot and stomped down heavily!

Rumble—rumble—

The entire venue seemed to be shaking!

After only two stomps, two huge cracks appeared on the ground of the arena. Fortunately, the protective shield of the arena prevented the cracks from spreading within the battle area between Qiao Bai and the round-faced girl.

However, the other players around them were affected to some extent.

The three large screens in the center instantly switched to live streaming of the battle between Qiao Bai and the round-faced girl.

On the big screen, all the viewers could see more clearly the stark contrast between the huge cracks in the soil and the tiny body of the cat-like insect.

"Oh my god! A player has already made his move, this is quite a commotion!" The commentator also turned his attention to Qiao Bai and the round-faced girl.

"Let's take a look at these two competitors, Cheng Guoguo from the Combat Department of Yulong University and Qiao Bai from the Pet Evolution major of Qingniao University... Uh? Wait a minute?" The commentator paused for a moment while speaking.

Combat-oriented, no problem.

Pet evolution specialty?

No?

Are you sure this information is correct?

Take a look, then take another look, and yes, no problem, that's definitely right.

The enthusiastic explanation just moments ago suddenly went limp.

What's there to explain?

A combat-type Earthshaker versus an unknown pet with an evolution specialization... is there any suspense left in who will win?

The commentator felt he had gotten excited a little too early.

But... "The name Qiao Bai sounds familiar, doesn't it?"

Although Qiao Bai has been intermittently increasing his fame in New York City over the past year and has also caused quite a stir online, in general... it is still difficult for the average person to immediately connect Qiao Bai with his achievements.

The commentators and the audience only felt that Qiao Bai's name sounded familiar.

But both Yulong and Honghu's teachers turned their attention to them.

"Is that Qiao Bai?" A teacher from Yulong University looked at the large screen in the center and saw Qiao Bai, who was dressed in a simple long-sleeved blue t-shirt and linen pants. He looked clean, low-key and inconspicuous. His tone was a little surprised.

A female teacher from Honghu University looked over curiously: "If it's Qiao Bai from Qingniao University's Pet Evolution major... then that should be him."

"I must say, he looks like a promising researcher." The female teacher from Honghu University nodded as she spoke, her eyes full of admiration for Qiao Bai.

Although Qiao Bai couldn't come to their Honghu, he didn't go to Yulong either.

In addition to Qiao Bai's research achievements, the female teacher at Honghu University genuinely admired Qiao Bai—and felt a little regretful: "Back then... sigh, we really missed out."

The teachers at Yulong University also sighed, "Who can argue with that?"

"But you Jade Dragon University students are really shameless, making a professor specializing in pet evolution compete against those combat students. Are you sure you're not trying to save face by doing this?" The female teacher from Honghu University suddenly said at this moment.

A teacher from Yulong University: "?"

"No?! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" The teacher from Yulong University quickly waved his hands, "We didn't do that!"

"Why wasn't anyone else from Qingniao University invited to participate in the competition besides him?" The female teacher from Honghu University said with disbelief, "Then, when Professor Qiao Bai went on stage, he happened to face off against your Yulong University's top player. Apart from Fu Tianguang and Zhang Hongyi, your school's combat department only has three other beast tamers with a comprehensive strength of six stars, right?"

"What a coincidence, running into Qiao Bai? And in the very first battle?"

A teacher from Yulong University: "..."

He was certain he hadn't heard anything about what the school planned to do to Qiao Bai, and that Yu Long wouldn't stoop to doing anything about it.

But this really is a coincidence... a coincidence that's a little hard for him to explain!

"Don't throw dirty water around!" Seeing that she couldn't explain, the teacher from Yulong University decisively stopped explaining and dumped the non-existent dirty water on the other side: "Compared to our Yulong, your Honghu is also a suspect, isn't it? It is said that your school principal was almost driven to the brink of madness by the principal of Qingniao."

"Are you trying to kill two birds with one stone? By bullying Qiao Bai to suppress Qingniao, you're also trying to tarnish the reputation of Yulong, aren't you?"

This time, the female teacher from Honghu University fell silent.

She is not herself; without them, Honghu would not be like this!

They still have that much ambition.

The two, who were just joking at first, are now really suspicious of each other—it must be a conspiracy by Yulong/Honghu!

mean!

Shameless!

Shameless Jade Dragon/Swan!

Qiao Bai and Cheng Guoguo, who really bumped into each other by chance: "?"

"Avoid those cracks."

Qiao Bai calmly directed the cat-like insects, showing no fear whatsoever at the power displayed by the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

"Use Shadow Tentacles!"

"Chirp chirp!"

The cat-like insect nimbly moved its seven short legs, weaving through the cracks. The shadow beneath its body writhed, and two jet-black tentacles followed the shadows, clinging tightly to the ground, before swiftly attacking the Earth-Splitting Dragon!

The instant he approached the Earthshaker—"Broken Blade!"

"Pfft—"

Two jet-black tentacles suddenly rose from the shadows, covered in sticky, ominous mucus, and launched an attack on the Earthshaker!

The yellowish-brown protective layer on the outside of the Earth Splitter Dragon's body only provided slight resistance, and in the next second, it was easily pierced by the two tentacles of the Cat Bug.

Cat Bug: (★★)

Earthshaker: "Roar—"

The Earthshaker let out a painful scream!

The cat-like insect's two tentacles not only pierced through its armor, but also broke through its thick, rock-like scales, with the tentacles and venom reaching deep into its skin!

"Earth-Splitting Dragon!" Cheng Guoguo exclaimed, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Just kidding?

That's a Rift Dragon!

Earthshaker!

A dragon and earth attribute pet with top-tier defense!

Activating armor before a fight is just a habit of Cheng Guoguo's. With the Dragon Scale's inherent defensive capabilities combined with the armor's protection, most Beast Tamers, when fighting against Cheng Guoguo, cannot even leave a trace of damage on the Dragon Scale.

But now...

The armor and scales of the Earth Splitter Dragon were like paper in front of that unknown pet, easily penetrated and providing absolutely no protection.

Cheng Guoguo: Questioning the meaning of life.jpg

She rubbed her eyes, then rubbed them again, wondering if she had been under an illusion since the moment she stepped onto the stage—of course, that was impossible.

"Earth Dragon, use Dragon Roar! Then use your tail to attack at close range!" Cheng Guoguo realized that something was wrong and quickly changed her strategy.

She hadn't really taken Qiao Bai and his pet seriously, intending to get rid of Qiao Bai's pet peacefully, but she never expected such a shocking reversal to happen.

Cheng Guoguo became serious.

The commentator was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Qiao Bai's pet attack actually pierced through the Earthshaker's armor and scales?! How did he even do that?!" the commentator exclaimed incredulously. "This is absolutely the most shocking battle I've seen all day!"

Regardless of Qiao Bai's identity.

It was still because of the power displayed by the cat-like insect.

"Let's take a look at the information on Qiao Bai's pet... Ah, so far, all we know is that it's a kind of extraordinary creature called a cat... dragon??" The commentator looked at the paper in his hand, lost in thought: "Cat dragon? Could it be that Qiao Bai's pet is also a dragon?"

Explanation.

Audience.

Other players.

The teacher of Yulong and Honghu.

At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on the two horns on the top of the cat-like insect's head.

Questioning life

"So... is this Qiao Bai the dark horse player who was discovered before this competition?" Some people in the audience couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way.

Qiao Bai's opponent, Cheng Guoguo, and Fu Tianguang, Zhang Hongyi, and the Shen sisters, who were still watching the match, all thought the same thing.

The two teachers, Yulong and Honghu, wore expressions of complex emotions that were difficult to describe.

Qiao Bai...a dark horse?

"...Can there really be such geniuses in this world?" Someone who can do both pet research and pet breeding?

The female teacher from Honghu University murmured to herself.

The teachers at Yulong University around her weren't much better.

Qiao Bai and Cheng Guoguo had no idea what the others outside the arena were thinking. The battle was not over yet, and they were fully engaged in it.

Dragon Roar, a deterrent skill.

The tail of the Earthshaker has long, irregular barbs, and a single strike of its tail can physically leave its prey half-dead.

"Shadow Stealth," Qiao Bai said calmly.

next second.

The cat-like insect's round body melted into the shadows like a puddle of water.

The Earthshaker's tail lashed out but missed completely!

Damage missed!

Cheng Guoguo unconsciously frowned.

She finally realized how formidable this opponent was.

The dragon's roar had absolutely no effect on the cat-like insect, and considering what the commentator had just said about Qiao Bai's pet breed... the cat-like dragon...

"Earth-Splitting Dragon, Blood Burn!"

Roar--

The Earth-Splitting Dragon roared to the sky—its already over two-meter-tall body underwent a transformation, becoming even taller, stronger, and more robust, and even its aura became much more ferocious.

Burning blood!

Skills that boost combat power during battle are exclusive to dragon-type pets. They can increase the attack power and damage of dragon-type pets by three to five times in a short period of time, making the pet's blood seem to be burning. This is the price for the pet to become stronger.

After the event, the pet will be in a weakened state for a long time.

Cheng Guoguo originally intended to save this move for when she encountered the Four Kings... but Cheng Guoguo never expected that she would encounter the legendary dark horse in the very first match.

We'll talk about whether she's weak or not later.

She won't need to—she couldn't even make it through the first match of the preliminary rounds, let alone the later matches.

then……

Just as Cheng Guoguo was preparing to command the Blood-Burning Earth-Splitting Dragon to launch another attack on the Cat Bug—

With a loud bang—

The Earthshaker collapsed heavily onto the ground first.

Instantly.

The entire venue fell into complete silence.

Even the other two groups of players who were fighting nearby were affected by the commotion coming from Qiao Bai and Cheng Guoguo's side.

"What...what happened?" The narrator blinked, as if he hadn't realized what had happened, and looked at the cat-worm's information in his hand...oh, there was nothing else besides a name.

These are all the information that Qiao Bai registered with the Beast Taming Alliance.

The referee standing to the side also looked somewhat bewildered.

He was still waiting to see the Earthshaker unleash its ultimate attack, but then the Earthshaker fell down first.

After confirming that the Earthshaker was indeed unable to get up, the referee quickly announced the result of the battle: "The Earthshaker is unable to fight, and Qiao Bai and Cat Dragon are the winners."

Quietly.

The surrounding audience remained silent.

"Hahaha! Big Daddy, you're the best!"

This time, Li Gan didn't even need a loudspeaker; his excited laughter echoed throughout the venue.

Having just won a victory, Qiao Bai hadn't even had time to celebrate when his smile abruptly and awkwardly froze on his face.

Cheng Guoguo, who was initially a little sad because of her inexplicable loss, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this.

The mystery is solved.

Now I know whose close friend or relative this is.

"Your friend is so good to you," Cheng Guoguo said with a smile. "They're really going all out!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

He would rather Li Gan be a little more humane.

You're willing to risk everything yourself, so why drag him down with you?

Qiao Bai didn't want to face such a tragic life.

"Cough cough." He coughed stiffly twice, bent down to pick up the cat-like insect that crawled out of the shadows at his feet, and quickly changed the subject: "You should take the Earth-Splitting Dragon to be treated right away. If nothing unexpected happens, the toxins spread rapidly throughout its body when it was burning blood."

Cheng Guoguo: "?"

Cheng Guoguo: "!"

Without stopping, Cheng Guoguo took off running with her short legs, heading straight for the direction of the Earth-Splitting Dragon.

Qiao Bai, carrying the cat-like insect, made his exit under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

However, many eyes were still fixed on Qiao Bai, as if watching a new god rise.

While everyone was speechless with shock at the power displayed by Qiao Bai's cat-like insects, only Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan remained unmoved.

"As expected, this is how it ended." Qi Yue shook her head and said, "Tragic, so tragic. How could that girl with the Earth-Splitting Dragon have such bad luck, running into Qiao Bai right from the start?"

Lin Weiwei nodded in agreement: "As expected, but it ended a little faster than I thought."

"The last blood-burning skill... I really didn't expect it to have this effect," Li Gan said, clicking his tongue. Then he shuddered. "And the ultimate skill hasn't even started yet, right?"

After they finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other.

The enthusiastic aunt next to me had a lot of question marks on her head.

Are all young people like this nowadays?

Are pet evolution specialists really that awesome?

The aunt felt that the world was changing too fast, and she was struggling to keep up!

……

"Brother, that's so disloyal!" As soon as Lu Wentao saw Qiao Bai walking towards them, he excitedly jumped down from his seat and rushed towards Qiao Bai, complaining, "Why didn't you say so sooner..."

"You're the dark horse, aren't you?!"

His gaze then fell on the cat-like insect in Qiao Bai's arms, and his eyes changed from initial disdain to awe.

"Is this a pet with an overall strength of eight stars? You're amazing!"

"No." Qiao Bai calmly sat down, his back to the audience, remaining composed under the intense gazes of those eyes.

Lu Wentao, who sat down next to him, was speechless.

"No?" Lu Wentao slapped his thigh. "Are you kidding me?! If you're not the dark horse, who among these people here today deserves that title?"

"Those are students from the Combat Department of Yulong University!"

"Jade Dragon! Combat type!"

"Do you know the weight of those two words combined?" Lu Wentao glared at Qiao Bai. "Even at a time like this, you're still trying to hide it from me? Tell me, are we even brothers?!"

Qiao Bai: "I didn't say I wasn't a dark horse, I just said that Cat Dragon's overall strength is indeed not eight stars, it's only seven stars."

Lu Wentao looked at Qiao Bai, then at Maomaochong.

Qiao Bai is the dark horse.

This pet named Cat Dragon has an overall strength of only seven stars, not eight stars.

However, according to information from the staff, there are a total of five eight-star contestants.

So... Lu Wentao, who had connected these clues, opened his eyes wide again, and his hand pointing at Qiao Bai began to tremble.

"You...you..." You actually have a pet beast?

And it's one seven-star and one eight-star?

Lu Wentao rubbed his forehead.

Lu Wentao felt that the world had changed so much that he could no longer understand it.

"As far as I know, the Four Kings... well, they're no longer worthy of being called kings in your presence." Lu Wentao paused, then changed his tune and continued, "As far as I know, Fu Tianguang and Zhang Hongyi both have contracted a second pet beast, and the Shen sisters... I'm not sure, but most likely they don't?"

"But their second pet is only so-so... not weak, but definitely not much stronger either."

"For example, I happened to see Fu Tianguang training his second pet. His second pet's overall strength should be around four or five stars."

"If Zhang Hongyi and the Shen sisters have a second favorite, their strength would probably be around this level?"

From third to fourth order.

It's definitely stronger than the average person.

But in the Yulong Honghu League, it's simply not good enough.

Therefore, from beginning to end, whether in the preliminary rounds or the finals, none of the four of them ever considered using a second pet in battle.

Then, they encountered Qiao Bai, this oddball.

Who would have thought.

Qiao Bai not only formed a contract with a second pet, but the second pet's overall strength also reached seven stars!

I ask you, who would believe that?

Lu Wentao felt that even if he spoke out, others would think he was going crazy again.

With this thought, Lu Wentao's mood improved again.

"Actually, the Cat Dragon's true strength isn't that great," Qiao Bai said sincerely. "Ignoring its overall strength, judging from its individual strength, it's only at the advanced level of the third rank, almost breaking through to the fourth rank."

"It was only because my skills were unique that I caught my opponent off guard and won by sheer coincidence."

"Once everyone becomes familiar with the Cat Dragon's attack methods and skills, it won't be possible to win so easily anymore," Qiao Bai calmly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Cat Bug.

Lu Wentao: "?"

Lu Wentao: "???"

Tier 3 Advanced?

Has it actually not broken through to the fourth tier yet?

But how could it possibly defeat a Rift Dragon whose strength is roughly at the mid-level of the fourth tier?

A fantastical world, a wondrous life.

Lu Wentao tasted them all within a single day.

"Putting aside your actual strength, you're saying your pet's victory was just a coincidence?" He pointed at the cat-like insect, and seeing Qiao Bai nod, Lu Wentao's eyes twitched involuntarily. "...How can you say something like that with such sincerity?"

Lu Wentao wanted to ask even more – how on earth did this guy manage to be so Versailles!

Consider Qiao Bai's contributions and achievements in pet evolution...

Lu Wentao: I feel dizzy.

"But I really didn't expect to encounter such a strong opponent in the preliminary round... I should be able to get through this, right?" Qiao Bai looked down at the cat-like insect in his arms and asked in a questioning tone.

His competition is over today, but there is another one tomorrow. Only twenty people will be able to enter the final on the last day. The other contestants will be eliminated in the preliminary rounds over these two days.

During the preliminary rounds, Qiao Bai only needed to compete in two matches, but on the day of the finals, he had to fight more matches.

Seeing Qiao Baifan's oblivious behavior deeply hurt Lu Wentao's fragile heart.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how those people react when you take out your eight-star pet!" Lu Wentao, who was driven crazy by the blow, chuckled, revealing a malicious smile that seemed to care nothing for the lives of others.

dead!

Let's all die together!

Everyone was driven crazy by Qiao Bai's words!

We absolutely cannot let him experience this feeling alone!

Cat Bug: Head held high, chest puffed out, proud.jpg

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Go Dragon Club!

Try to prevent the boss from even having a chance to appear!

Qiao Bai chuckled and touched the two dragon horns on the head of the cat-like insect. The cat-like insect, which had been full of momentum just moments before, was now flattened into a cat pancake in Qiao Bai's arms.

Fu Tianguang, Zhang Hongyi, and the Shen sisters, who had been watching Qiao Bai closely ever since he left the field, were all bewildered.

Shen Ruoyan turned to look at her younger sister beside her, frowning and muttering in disbelief, "Ruowan, that pet beast that looks so fat... is it really an eight-star pet beast in terms of overall strength? It doesn't look like one to me at all!"

After leaving the arena, Shen Ruoyan showed none of the aloof and unapproachable demeanor she displayed during the match. Her furrowed brows and pouting lips revealed a touch of girlish charm and cuteness.

On the contrary, Shen Ruowan, the younger sister, had a composed smile on her face.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for pets sometimes."

"Looks and abilities are not necessarily linked."

"We must take this opponent and his pet beast seriously, and be careful not to suffer the same fate as Cheng Guoguo."

"That's true." Shen Ruoyan nodded, a lingering fear on her face. "Who would have thought that using a berserk skill would cause me to be berserk before the weakened state even arrived?"

"This is really..."

Unprepared!

"However, we've received intelligence that Qiao Bai... his pet cat-dragon is most likely a Dragon-type/Poison-type Pokémon." Shen Ruowan frowned slightly as she spoke, "But something seems a little off? If it's Dragon-type/Poison-type, then what's with the Shadow Stealth ability?"

Could it be a dragon with dark attribute?

No, no, that's not right.

The name "Cat Dragon" and the skills it used, combined, confused Shen Ruowan.

Shen Ruoyan covered her mouth with her hand, yawned without any hint of aloofness, and said, "Isn't it possible that the cat-dragon actually has nothing to do with dragons at all? It's just ordinary poison with dark attributes?"

"After all, it looks round and chubby, and doesn't seem to have anything to do with dragons at all."

Catbug: Achoo!

"grumble!"

Everyone must have seen Xiao Meilong's heroic figure and is praising her behind her back!

Cat Bug: o(*////▽////*)q

This really makes the dragon feel embarrassed~

Meanwhile, the discussion among the Shen sisters had not yet stopped.

"I don't think so," Shen Ruowan shook her head. "The two horns on its head do look like dragon horns, and then there's the fact that it didn't react at all to the Earth-Splitting Dragon's intimidation... The Cat Dragon should be related to dragons in some way."

It seems to be related to all three attributes... This makes it even harder to determine the true attributes of the cat-like bug.

"It's alright, Wan, don't worry." Shen Ruoyan waved her hand, comforting her, "Our pets are both elemental beings, do you think they'd get poisoned so easily?"

"My ice freezes the venom, and your fire burns it away completely. No matter how potent the venom is, it's useless against us!"

Shen Ruowan nodded reluctantly upon hearing this... That's all she could think of for now.

……

After lunch, Qiao Bai, Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan met up.

Lu Wentao also squeezed into their small group of four.

"Brother Qiao, you're so lucky." Looking at Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, two stunning beauties with different styles, Lu Wentao gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up.

Li Gan?

I didn't see it.

"Who are you?!" Veins throbbed on Li Gan's forehead. "Where did this bastard come from, daring to try and steal my daddy's manhood?!"

Upon hearing the words "Big Uncle," Lu Wentao, who had just been dismissive of Li Gan, instantly showed an expression of admiration.

"My apologies, so you are the warrior!" Lu Wentao clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his face full of awe.

Daring to shout "Go, Daddy!" in public... that's really shameless. Aren't they afraid of getting beaten up when they get home?

"Hmph! Good that you know!" Li Gan didn't see anything wrong with it at all: "I'm the best son under my great-father Qiao Bai!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Your flattery feels foreign to me," Qiao Bai said helplessly. "Can you be normal for once?"

"Hehe!" Li Gan grinned sheepishly at Qiao Bai, "Isn't this because I want to curry favor with you!"

Qiao Bai: "...So your way of sucking up to me is to make me lose face in public?"

"Cough cough!" Li Gan coughed twice, looking at the sky and the ground but not at Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: It's hard, it's hard, my fist is hard.

"It's alright. Compared to Li Gan's father, what impressed others more was probably your battle where Cat Bug defeated Earth Splitter Dragon!" Qi Yue waved her hand and said something fair: "That battle... was truly breathtaking to the audience and players who didn't know you well!"

Think about it!

A student who was recommended for admission to a major in pet evolution actually managed to raise a powerful pet?

If they didn't know Qiao Bai, they wouldn't believe that such a thing could actually be true.

Lu Wentao nodded frantically.

Yeah.

Agreed.

Recognized.

He was the first one to be deeply shocked!

Seeing Lu Wentao's appearance, Li Gan patted him on the shoulder, which lessened his hostility towards him.

The question is about the mutual sympathy between two victims who were hurt by Qiao Bai.

Their relationship progressed rapidly, and they started to work together (?).

After lunch and an hour's rest, the afternoon competition began.

One exciting moment after another.

Because Fu Tianguang, Zhang Hongyi, and Shen Ruowan also took the stage one by one.

The three of them did not collide.

However, in one of the matches, Fu Tianguang and Shen Ruowan, from the three groups of contestants, were both facing different opponents.

One was a freshman in the Jade Dragon Combat Department, and the other was a freshman in the Swan Combat Department. They appeared on the same field at the same time, and the large screen in the center could hardly tell whose match was more exciting.

Not to mention, there were also teachers from Yulong University and Honghu University on the sidelines, arguing back and forth for their own students.

"Fu Tianguang's Golden Armored Pterodactyl is even more powerful; it's a dragon species with Steel and Flying attributes! Can any ordinary extraordinary creature compare to it?"

"Ha, so elemental fire combined with the special attribute molten fire is common?" The female teacher from Honghu University rolled her eyes without any politeness, arguing forcefully, "Besides, fire is super effective against steel!"

"The Steel type of the Golden Armored Wyvern is also super effective against the Water/Water/Ice type!"

"Ice type is also effective against Flying type!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. You should think about whether your students can control Qiao Bai's pet beast, otherwise the championship will still be yours." At this moment, a teacher from some university casually walked past them, said this and left in a carefree manner.

The teachers from Yulong University and Honghu University: "..."

Both of them fell silent.

They exchanged a glance.

Qiao Bai?

Research it?

Let's discuss this?

No more.

Refuse.

I'll have a little meeting with my family when I get home later.

Let's continue discussing which of their students is stronger.

it is good.

The next second, the two quiet guys started arguing again, determined to determine who was better, Fu Tianguang or Shen Ruowan.

Teachers from other nearby universities: "..."

I don't understand, I don't understand.

This is the tacit understanding that you two, Yulong and Honghu, have developed through years of love and hate.

admire.

In short, the first day of the competition finally came to an end in such a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

Whether it's the Four Kings or the New King, yes, they've changed their tune now and no longer refer to Qiao Bai as the Dark Horse.

What dark horse?

Where did such an amazing dark horse come from?

This is clearly the rise of a new king!

A new king has ascended the throne!

Neither the Four Kings nor the New King encountered each other, and they smoothly entered the second day of the competition. At this point, only half of the contestants remained, no more than one hundred people.

Yulong University and Honghu University held a special impromptu meeting in preparation for the competition the following day.

"Will tomorrow's matches still be decided by random draw?"

"What if we accidentally put those people together beforehand..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone present understood the unspoken meaning.

What are you fighting for?

They've already covered all the highlights of the final day of the competition. What's there to watch in the final?
