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

Chapter 111 Heroic Mother Pearl Princess: Shy, Shall we have babies together? Like, ten babies in one pregnancy!

Yu Long and Hong Hu's idea of ​​poaching someone else's business grew wildly like weeds.

But what about attacking Qiao Bai?

To embarrass Qiao Bai?

No, no.

They really didn't expect that they still had that much class.

Even if Qiao Bai isn't their student now, can't he take the postgraduate entrance exam and get a doctorate in the future?

They still have a chance to make Qiao Bai a student at their school. Instead of causing trouble for Qiao Bai, they should try to reduce the impression of their rivals in Qiao Bai's mind so that Qiao Bai will choose them first.

A sworn enemy is someone who sabotages your opponent at crucial moments, undermines their talent pool, and steals their promising prospects!

The teachers from Yulong University and Honghu University exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes, and then a fake smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.

Let's chat.

They remained silent during the conversation.

"There are 96 players left. They will have to play at least two more rounds tomorrow, and some may have to play three rounds."

"How about this, in the first round, we'll pick out Qiao Bai, Fu Tianguang, Zhang Hongyi, Shen Ruoyan, and Shen Ruowan and randomly match them with other contestants. The winners will advance directly to the finals."

"Is it okay to randomly match other players in the second and third rounds?"

Are those five good?

Great.

So let them fight again to prove their strength is not in question.

Then they advance directly.

This would also reduce the number of eliminations and give others a chance to advance.

"Contact other schools and ask around. If there are no problems, then this is fine." The others nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

While ensuring fairness, the event's watchability was also guaranteed as much as possible.

We must also ensure fairness to Qiao Bai—we absolutely cannot let Qiao Bai feel persecuted!

Qiao Bai was completely unaware of Yu Long and Hong Hu's concerns.

I was incredibly relaxed when I went to the competition the next day.

after all.

All the pressure was put on other people, and had nothing to do with Qiao Bai.

Compared to yesterday, Qiao Bai was much more relaxed today.

However, compared to yesterday, which didn't attract much attention.

The moment Qiao Bai stepped into the venue today, he was the first to be noticed by countless eyes. Everyone was secretly observing him and labeling him as a formidable competitor.

When you're outmatched, whoever bumps into the other will just get crushed!

Some people didn't really want to run into Qiao Bai, but others were eager to try their luck and couldn't wait to have a match with him.

"Your pet is not bad, but... but my pet is not to be trifled with either!" A boy with a bowl cut, who looked shy at first glance and had a rather small voice, pulled his tall friend, who was 1.9 meters tall, and hid behind him, speaking harshly to Qiao Bai in a soft voice.

"I...I...I..." the other person stammered, then continued, "I want to fight you!"

Qiao Bai: "?"

"I've learned something new. Is this the legendary Hiccup A?" Qi Yue looked at the boy opposite her with the eyes of someone looking at a legend, and said with a sigh.

Using the most cowardly tone to say the harshest things?

My 1.9-meter-tall friend: "..."

"He doesn't know how to talk, it's not meant to be provocative." The tall, 1.9-meter-tall man, with a strong, imposing face, patiently explained, "After watching your match yesterday, he's been very excited, constantly praising how good you are and saying he wants to be your friend."

"He believes that sparring is the best way for two people to get closer and strengthen their relationship." The tall man, standing at 1.9 meters, gave Qiao Bai an apologetic smile as he spoke: "I'm really sorry."

"Oh right, I'm Zhang Ying, and this is Xiang Xiaoyuan." Zhang Ying realized what was happening and introduced herself to Qiao Bai, "Professor Qiao Bai, your pet is really amazing."

It's a sentence with almost the same meaning.

The words, spoken seemingly meekly to Xiaoyuan, were strangely full of provocation.

When it came from Zhang Ying, who seemed capable of taking down Li Gan and Lu Wentao with a single punch, it gave the impression that he was genuinely praising them.

Li Gan and Lu Wentao, used as an analogy: "?"

What does this have to do with them?

"Ah...it's okay." Qiao Bai smiled and glanced at Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was hiding behind Zhang Ying. When they met Qiao Bai's gaze, Xiang Xiaoyuan became even more embarrassed and hid further back, her face flushed.

The look in their eyes confirmed that they were indeed a person with no ill intentions and who didn't know how to speak.

"You called me Professor Qiao Bai..." Qiao Bai then realized what was happening.

and many more……?

"Yes, Professor Qiao Bai, your identity spread after yesterday's competition." Zhang Ying nodded, as if confirming what Qiao Bai hadn't said: "Professor Qiao Bai, you are really amazing. Last night, our school's group chat was filled with discussions about you until late into the night."

"Everyone is very curious about how you manage to produce new research results while also training your pets to be so skilled."

"Many people are saying that Professor Qiao Bai, you must have 72 hours in a day, otherwise it's simply not enough."

Qiao Bai clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips... cough cough.

This made him a little embarrassed.

Zhang Ying chatted with Qiao Bai for a couple more minutes, and the atmosphere was just right, perfectly neutralizing the slightly sharp tension brought about by Xiang Xiaoyuan's seemingly "provocative" words earlier.

As more and more people gathered in the venue, Zhang Ying took the initiative to say goodbye to Qiao Bai and the others.

"I see my classmate, Professor Qiao Bai. I look forward to facing you on the battlefield."

"Goodbye, I look forward to our battle on the battlefield." Qiao Bai smiled and waved to Zhang Ying, then glanced at Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Having just stepped out from behind Zhang Ying, Xiang Xiaoyuan, startled by Qiao Bai's attention, jumped back behind Zhang Ying like a frightened rabbit.

Watching the two people walk away, Qi Yue wore a mysterious smile.

"Hehehe~ A timid but adorable little bunny and a caring male mother... I've got it all, I've got it all."

Lin Weiwei listened with an embarrassed smile, and nodded gently while holding Qi Yue's arm.

Li Gan, standing to the side, said, "What are you talking about? Look at you two grinning like idiots."

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei glanced at Li Gan and snorted, "Hmph, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you."

Li Gan looked depressed.

Qiao Bai glanced at it, shook his head, and continued walking forward.

A smart man knows that when he sees a woman smile like that, he shouldn't try to interrupt or chime in. Who knows if she'll get angry or take you down with her?

He doesn't understand meal replacement literature, really.

As Lu Wentao walked towards Qiao Bai and the others, he was met with Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei, who had strange smiles, Li Gan, who looked depressed, and Qiao Bai and his group of four, who were staring straight ahead.

Lu Wentao: "?"

"What's going on with you guys?" Lu Wentao asked, puzzled. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were some kind of weird group that got together!"

Qiao Bai briefly explained what had happened when he bumped into Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan at the door.

"Oh...it's them." Unexpectedly, Lu Wentao showed a complicated and strange expression after hearing their names.

Seeing this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hmm? Is there something wrong with those two?"

"I feel like I didn't watch any of their matches yesterday?" Qiao Bai recalled the matches he watched yesterday... Well, there were quite a few, especially in the afternoon. Qiao Bai mainly focused on Zhang Hongyi, Fu Tianguang, and Shen Ruowan.

Qiao Bai watched the others, choosing instead to watch some of the more intense matches.

Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan... I really can't remember them.

"It's normal that you don't remember them. Their performance yesterday was quite average, and they didn't cause any trouble. But..." Lu Wentao paused for a moment, then led Qiao Bai and the others to find seats in the front row before continuing.

"You know, I'm from Lingying University..." Lu Wentao had barely finished speaking when he met four pairs of watery, unfamiliar gazes.

Lu Wentao: "?"

Qiao Bai and his three companions: "?"

"Lingying University? I don't know. Why would I need to know which university you're from?" Qiao Bai blinked and said seriously.

Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan nodded in agreement: "You didn't mention this to us yesterday either."

"Didn't you guys just check it out when I didn't say anything?" Lu Wentao was speechless. He said he had never seen such a slacking contestant before.

Why don't they even follow the normal competition procedures?

Isn't it normal to investigate which university a potential rival comes from and what their abilities are?

"Whether we're rivals or not is a matter for those on the battlefield. But aren't we friends? Why bother investigating so much?" Qiao Bai said sincerely and without any pretense.

Lu Wentao: "..."

Lu Wentao, who had just been a little angry, turned his head away embarrassedly after hearing Qiao Bai's words.

"Okay, okay... let's skip this part." Lu Wentao cleared his throat awkwardly, then continued, "Anyway, now you know that I'm from Lingying University. Within the small area of ​​North China, our school is considered one of the top universities. Every year, countless people are desperate to get in."

"However, Lingying University has a mortal enemy—just as Yulong and Honghu are destined rivals, Lingying's mortal enemy is Junji University."

"Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan are from this Junji University?" Qiao Bai immediately understood the subtle meaning in Lu Wentao's words.

"That's right, so I've heard of them... They're definitely two oddballs in North China." Lu Wentao nodded. "Although some people call them the Twin Stars of North China... their combined pet skills are truly amazing... Putting them together is just too, too..."

As he spoke, a complex and conflicted expression appeared on Lu Wentao's face, as if he didn't know how to better describe it in words.

"It sounds like their doubles team is pretty strong?" Qiao Bai immediately became interested.

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei looked at Lu Wentao with even more interest: "Do you know what their pet beast is?"

"Xiang Xiaoyuan's pet is the Thousand Millet Lord Beast, and Zhang Ying's pet... like your Cat Dragon, is an unknown pet. Zhang Ying named that pet Pearl Princess, but we usually call it Clam Spirit."

"The Thousand-Grain Lord Beast..." Li Gan muttered, his mind racing. "Wait, can these things be domesticated?"

Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei both wore the same surprised expression.

Qiao Bai was also a little surprised.

The Thousand Millet Lord Beast is an extraordinary creature that evolved from a slime-like creature called the Whiteboard Monster.

Because of its unique evolutionary requirements, many pet evolution professors say that it is impossible to determine where its evolutionary ceiling is.

Why would you say that?

The known evolution path of the Blank Monster is: Blank Monster → Ten Riders Soldier → Hundred Riders Little Lord → Thousand Millet Lord Beast → Ten Thousand Millet King.

Beyond that, things become uncertain.

If there are more, they can probably just continue adding numbers following this naming pattern.

From this naming pattern, we can roughly guess the evolution requirements of the blank monster: as a leader, it has led more than ten extraordinary creatures in battle and won; as a leader, it has led more than one hundred extraordinary creatures in battle... and so on.

Wild, unskilled monsters are manageable.

The wild may lack everything, but it certainly doesn't lack extraordinary creatures.

If you have the ability, you can make those extraordinary creatures recognize you as their leader, and then lead them to fight in groups... little by little, when opportunities arise, your level will rise.

However... the whiteboard monster is really weak. Not only does it look like a slime, but its appearance is also exactly the same as a slime.

However, with the gradual improvement and evolution of their strength, the ten-man soldiers and the hundred-man lords will become stronger and stronger, and their strength will increase exponentially.

The Thousand Millet Lord Beast and the Ten Thousand Millet King only appeared once during the beast tide a hundred years ago.

Their strength is incredibly formidable.

Their own strength is one aspect, but each additional subordinate will double the strength of the Thousand Millet Lord Beast and the Myriad Millet King.

The number of supernatural beings they command is also part of their power.

Both the Thousand Millet Lord Beast and the Ten Thousand Millet King are advanced extraordinary beings, extremely difficult to evolve.

After all, becoming the leader of more than a thousand extraordinary creatures... just hearing the name makes it clear that this is no easy feat.

The difficulty of evolving a contracted blank monster is even greater—which beast tamer can provide their pet with a hundred or a thousand minions?

Are you kidding me?!

"Wait a minute..." Qiao Bai frowned, realizing something was wrong: "According to what you said, if Xiang Xiaoyuan's pet beast is the Thousand Millet Lord Beast, its overall strength rating is at least eight stars, and nine or ten stars is not impossible."

Qi Yuelin, Weiwei, and Li Gan nodded frantically to the side.

Yeah.

That makes sense.

"I'm not lying to you, but the problem is—the reason why the Thousand Millet Lord Beast and the Myriad Millet King are so powerful isn't just because of their own strength." Lu Wentao shrugged: "It's because they have a lot of subordinates, and they usually fight in groups with their subordinates! Just looking at the strength of the Thousand Millet Lord Beast and the Myriad Millet King, they are only in the range of ordinary extraordinary creatures. It is because they have a lot of subordinates that their strength increases along with them."

"Really?" Both Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei looked confused... It seems so?

Qiao Bai: "That makes sense... So what's the deal with its thousand minions? Did it cheat? Did it not actually recruit that many minions? How did it then evolve into the leader of a thousand extraordinary creatures in battle?"

Qiao Bai couldn't figure out how Xiang Xiaoyuan had managed to do it, as he hadn't seen Xiang Xiaoyuan's pet.

"I thought that as a genius professor of pet evolution, there was nothing you didn't know about extraordinary creatures. But this matter with Xiaoyuan has stumped you, hasn't it?" Lu Wentao chuckled as he looked at Qiao Bai's bewildered expression.

Qiao Bai glanced at him: "Zhang Ying."

Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan: "?"

Lu Wentao: "!!!"

"Holy crap!" Lu Wentao exclaimed, "How did you know?"

"Just guessing." Qiao Bai said calmly, "You're the one who said Zhang Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan are the twin stars of North China. If that's the case, then when talking about Xiang Xiaoyuan, we can't ignore Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying must have played a very important role in it."

Lu Wentao gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Impressive! No wonder you're an expert in pet evolution research; your mind works much faster than most!"

"So..." Lu Wentao paused abruptly, a malicious smile spreading across his face, "I won't say anything more, you can see for yourself."

"Some scenes are more impactful when seen in person; words simply cannot do them justice."

Qiao Bai didn't say anything.

He roughly guessed that Zhang Ying's pet beast, Pearl Princess, had special abilities... but he didn't know exactly what those special abilities were.

Qi Yue and Li Gan, who were standing to the side, were already rubbing their hands together, ready to give Lu Wentao a doubles beating. Lin Weiwei not only didn't stop them, but also cheered them on.

Lu Wentao, who deliberately chose to be alone: ​​"..."

So you're all ganging up on him?

There isn't a single good person here!

Qiao Bai: Calm and blind.jpg

What?

Lu Wentao got beaten up?

He doesn't know.

Compared to yesterday's competition, today's competition was more focused, with only two groups of players taking the stage at the same time, occupying a large space on the left and right, which also allowed the audience in the stands to enjoy the game better.

Both sides were so exciting that the audience still felt like they didn't have enough visual feast!

Because half of the participants were eliminated yesterday.

So soon Qiao Bai saw what he had been looking forward to—Zhang Ying's match.

Upon hearing Zhang Ying's name, before the others could react much, Qiao Bai, Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan all turned their gazes toward Zhang Ying on the field.

"Zhang Ying's turn? That's pretty fast!" Qi Yue leaned forward, staring at Zhang Ying curiously. "What's so special about his pet?"

talking.

Both sides have released their pets.

Zhang Ying's opponent was a 175cm tall boy, who wasn't short, but standing opposite the 1.9m tall Zhang Ying, he felt a bit more pressure, and even his pet beasts were slower than Zhang Ying's.

Then... they saw Zhang Ying's pet appear on the field first.

It was a pet beast with a lustrous, sea-blue color, like jade in the ocean, and its opening and closing resembled a clam shell.

Between the opening and closing movements, one can see the white inner wall of the clam shell and the warm-colored, pearly core.

Compared to the supernatural creatures that fight and kill, this clam shell looks more like a work of art.

"I understand the name Pearl Princess now... It really suits her!" Lin Weiwei covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with amazement: "She's so beautiful, so beautiful that I believe a pearl princess lives inside a clam shell."

Qi Yue nodded repeatedly from the side.

Yeah.

That's the gist of it.

"Just you wait and see," Lu Wentao said, arms crossed. "You won't think that way later."

Not only Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan, but Qiao Bai's curiosity was also piqued.

I've never seen a pet like this before... I have absolutely no idea what skills it has.

have to say.

Lu Wentao's way of talking about selling the case still attracted Qiao Bai, so instead of using his talent skill to cheat and watch the battle, Qiao Bai prepared to watch the battle carefully.

Zhang Ying's opponent was clearly surprised that such a tall, imposing man, standing at 1.9 meters, would actually contract such a... little princess's pet beast?

The pressure from his height vanished instantly. He quickly released his pet beast, a 2.8-meter-long lapis lazuli crocodile with a mouth large enough to swallow a person whole, which appeared on the field.

The battle begins.

Under the Beastmaster's command, the Azure Crocodile first used a probing skill, Wind Blade, to attack the opponent's dodge.

To his surprise, Zhang Ying didn't speak, and Pearl Princess didn't dodge. Instead, she suddenly opened her clam shell and swallowed the wind blade whole.

Azure Crocodile Beastmaster: "?"

Qiao Bai, sitting on the sidelines: "..."

Qiao Bai's eyelids twitched twice, then twice more... An ominous premonition swirled in Qiao Bai's heart...

Then, in the next second, Pearl Princess let out a burp, and then opened her mouth and spat out an extraordinary creature that was only one-fifth the size of a normal lapis lazuli, but looked exactly like a lapis lazuli in both appearance and details.

This move... completely shocked all the players and spectators watching.

"No? What kind of skill is this?"

"What is that pet beast? I've never seen it before!"

"Zhang Ying's clam spirit, right... She doesn't have any other special skills, all she knows is how to get pregnant by faking an accident... The problem is that the little thing born from that accident can replicate her abilities at the same rate!"

"Speaking of which, why didn't the clam spirit do this in the last match? I thought that old Deng's thuggish tactics would have been noticed and condemned long ago!"

"Because we encountered a single-minded Fighting-type in the previous battle, using physical attacks, there was no chance for the Shell Spirit to feign pregnancy!"

A murmur of discussion arose in the spectator area.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qiao Bai, Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan fell into a deathly silence.

"Pretending to get pregnant while being hit by a car... this skill is really..." Li Gan stammered, hesitant to speak, his tongue tied in knots, his brain in knots, he didn't know what to say anymore.

brain.

The computer crashed.

"I knew some extraordinary creatures had bizarre skills, but I never imagined they could be this bizarre..." Qi Yue muttered listlessly.

Why do I say that?

Because of the Pearl Princess on the field... well, Qi Yue felt she couldn't bring herself to say that beautiful name anymore, let's just call her the Clam Spirit. The Clam Spirit was continuously spitting out tiny lapis lazuli crocodiles, one after another, faster than a hen laying eggs.

attack?

Not flashing much.

Accept it all.

staged an accident to extort money, and then have a baby.

defense?

attack?

No, no.

None of that is necessary.

Just stand there, swallow every attack from the opposing lapis lazuli crocodile... and then nurture it inside the clam's core, and a new little helper will be born.

In no time, the field was filled with blue crocodiles and tiny blue crocodiles.

A tiny lapis lazuli is only one-fifth the size of a lapis lazuli, and the power of the replicated lapis lazuli's skills is only one-third that of the original lapis lazuli. In addition, due to the mutual cancellation of attributes, they don't seem to be able to cause much damage to the lapis lazuli.

But five or ten little blue crocodiles together... form a small suicide squad that the blue crocodiles cannot ignore, charging forward one after another, fearless of death.

What surprised Qiao Bai even more was that he noticed that every time the Blue Gold Crocodile killed a small Blue Gold Crocodile, the Blue Gold Crocodile itself would tremble, as if it had been attacked.

Good guy.

This is no longer just about faking an accident to have a baby.

The newborn baby will then drain the health and stamina of the person who was scammed.

Qiao Bai finally couldn't resist activating his talent skill.

[Pet: Pearl Princess]

【Attribute: Special + Water】

[Type: Intermediate to High-Level Extraordinary]

[Level: Advanced Tier 4]

[Skill: Absolute Defense]

[Bloodline: Dragon bloodline, not fully awakened. After awakening, the talent skills will be further enhanced and strengthened.]

[Talent Skill: Nurturing]

【Nurturing (Upgradeable): Can transform all non-physical attack energy into an avatar of the opponent's image. Unconscious, it executes the commands conveyed by the mother to attack. Each avatar, after being destroyed by the original body, will take away 1% of the original body's health and replenish the mother body (depending on the strength, bloodline, and innate skills of the pet being converted, the maximum limit of Pearl Princess's ability to replicate avatars will be subject to different degrees of restrictions and influences)】

Evolution path: None (cannot be upgraded)

Qiao Bai: "..."

This is outrageous!

It has only one skill.

Absolute defense.

Add to that the bizarre bonuses from her innate skills... Pearl Princess, oh no, Qiao Bai suddenly understood why Lu Wentao's expression turned so strange when he talked about Zhang Ying and his clam spirit.

This skill is really... strong, very strong, extremely strong.

Not only is he strong, he's also a scoundrel.

It's one thing to deliberately cause an accident and give birth to a baby on the other side, but then it tries to extort child support fees from them... Is this something a normal pet would do?

Absolutely not!

Moreover, Qiao Bai instantly understood why Xiang Xiaoyuan's whiteboard monster could evolve into the Thousand Millet Lord Beast step by step—with such a partner who knew how to cause trouble, he could exploit every opportunity to generate wealth!

First, we'll move forward and see if we have any subordinates.

If all else fails, just temporarily spawn a batch of minions for Lord Qianji during the battle!

"Qiao Bai, I feel like Zhang Ying is definitely going to make it to the finals," Li Gan whispered from the side. "What if you run into him in the finals..."

As they were talking, Li Gan's gaze fell on the cat-like insect in Qiao Bai's arms.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei couldn't help but look at the cat-like insect, and their minds drifted back to Little Wu... Hehehe!

Qiao Bai shuddered: "I...we'll talk about it later. It's hard to say whether that Pearl Princess...the clam spirit can give birth to a Cat Dragon or a clone of Little Wu."

Qiao Bai thought of the limitations of the clam spirit's innate skills—the strength, bloodline, and innate skills of the beast that nurtures it will increase the difficulty of nurturing the clam spirit.

Neither Little Crow nor Cat Bug are ordinary supernatural creatures; they are extraordinary pets with awakened bloodline talents and skills—if the clam spirit really wants to cheat on her and have offspring, it'll have to see if it has the ability.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it was Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, Li Gan, or Lu Wentao, they all looked at Qiao Bai with pity and then shook their heads together.

Hey!

Qiao Bai is simply unwilling to face reality!

Things are not as simple as they seem!

They witnessed the clam spirit's elaborate scheme to give birth!

If Qiao Bai really wants to avoid it... he'll have to stop using non-physical attack methods to attack the clam spirit, but whether it's Little Wu or Cat Bug... their skills mostly involve non-physical methods, right?

The only purely physical attack is probably... Little Crow's peck?

The battle between the Azure Crocodile and Pearl Princess on the field has finally come to an end.

Pearl Princess, by using the tactic of having three babies in one pregnancy (not really), successfully whittled down the health bar of the Azure Crocodile to zero.

It's disgusting.

It takes a lot of time and effort.

But for ordinary people, there is really no solution.

An absolute defensive skill plus an attack that causes babies to be born... Destroying a baby also costs 1% of your health. Who can withstand that?

Those contestants who didn't know Zhang Ying before all came to know her again through this competition, and their expressions became more and more solemn.

Especially the Shen sisters... They also figured out that the only way to avoid being framed was to use physical skills to attack Pearl Princess... But the problem is, their pet beasts are elemental beings, so they don't have any suitable and efficient physical attack methods!

The Shen sisters looked increasingly grim: first, Qiao Bai had ascended the throne as the new king, and then Zhang Ying had emerged as a dark horse, who, coincidentally, had completely devoured their pet beasts!

Shen Ruoyan and Shen Ruowan: Thinking

Qiao Bai also won today's battle with ease.

Because the opponent's pet was quite strong, Qiao Bai even used the ultimate move [Shadow Invasion], defeating the opponent even faster than yesterday... However, it didn't cause the same shock and sensation as yesterday.

One reason is that everyone has a clearer understanding of Qiao Bai's strength. They know that Qiao Bai is not just an ordinary student majoring in pet evolution. He is also a master in pet battles and is another new king after the Four Kings.

Another reason... is naturally because Zhang Ying, together with Pearl Princess, brought them a fierce visual and mental impact.

This bizarre skill is only slightly better than the legendary ability to predict who will get pregnant, right?

However, the contestants had very mixed feelings about whether to let their pet be the hero mother or to let Pearl Princess help them be the hero mother and have ten babies at once.

do not know.

I can't choose.

They're all equally bad, just different in that they're bad and even worse.

The second day of the competition also ended quickly.

The other universities all agreed that Qiao Bai and the other four would advance without having to fight in the second round—don't ask, the answer is they didn't really want to face these five big bosses either.

If they could, they would love to give Yulong and Honghu some advice and suggest that they include that kid named Zhang Ying in the list as well!

Damn!

pity.

No.

After all, based on their observations, Pearl Princess wasn't entirely unbeatable within the same level. Targeting her lack of independent movement and combat abilities would make defeating her difficult, but it was still achievable with a bit of effort.

So... during the second round of the competition in the afternoon, Zhang Ying continued to use Pearl Princess's amazing skill of feigning injury to severely humiliate their spirit and soul.

Qiao Bai: I've run away! I've run away!

Watching it every time is a form of mental trauma!

It's better to go home and rest with Xiao Wu and Maomao Chong.

"Tomorrow's finals probably won't be so easy." In the hotel, Qiao Bai sat in the living room of his room, holding a small crow in his left hand and a cat-like insect in his right, and began to calculate tomorrow's competition schedule.

20 to 16

16 to 8

8 to 4

Semifinals

决赛

There is also a semi-final match between the losers.

The champion, runner-up, and third place were determined.

Qiao Bai calculated that, assuming a perfect record and no need for tiebreakers or semi-finals, it would take about five rounds to reach the actual final.

Qiao Bai was worried about two things: one was that the cat bug had encountered a stronger opponent, and the other was that the cat bug was running out of stamina... Qiao Bai took the cat bug to train in the training ground, and they usually had to rest after two or three rounds.

Fighting five rounds in one day is quite a drain on the cat-worm's stamina.

This is especially true when facing a formidable opponent...

"I wonder how others solve this problem." Qiao Bai stroked the little bird and the cat-like insect casually, feeling the unique texture of the feathers and scales.

However, Qiao Bai wasn't too worried.

After all, he still has Xiao Wu, doesn't he?

Xiao Wu: Chest out.jpg

proud!

Birds are just that amazing!

Beastmasters only need to trust the birds!

"Chirp chirp!"

The cat-like insect also started meowing angrily.

Dragons are powerful too, okay!

Dragons can definitely do it!

Qiao Bai chuckled and ruffled the cat-like insect's hair: "Alright, alright, let's do our best tomorrow, okay?"

"Then we'll have to trouble our most reliable Little Wu to cover for us." Qiao Bai smoothed the stray hairs on Little Wu's head, perfectly handling both sides equally, without neglecting anyone. Little Wu and Cat Bug were both very happy.

They felt valued and trusted by the beast tamers.

Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮

Birds are the most amazing!

Catbug: Hmph (ˉ(∞)ˉ) Chirp

Dragons are... dragons are powerful too!

Xiao Wu and Maomaochong exchanged a glance through Qiao Bai, then turned their heads away together with an air of arrogance.

……

Final day.

The number of athletes has decreased, but the venue has been moved to a larger, more spectacular, and better equipped location.

Surrounded by concentric rings of rising platforms, the large wraparound screen allows the entire audience to enjoy a 360-degree view of the game in the center of the arena.

The venue has also changed from a uniform indoor space surrounded by protective shields to a real-life simulated battlefield.

Deserts, grasslands, rivers, and other common terrains are randomly selected to simulate the most realistic battle environment.

Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan, who had obtained tickets for the contestants' friends and family, sat in an audience seat that was 80% full. Listening to the rousing background music, they were swept up in the excited atmosphere around them and entered a state of high excitement themselves.

"Ahhh! Go, Qiao Bai! Show your demon king spirit!"

"Go for it! You can take on the Jade Dragon and kick the Swan!"

"Show us the power of the current meta boss!"

The cheers from Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan blended seamlessly into the crowd without standing out at all.

Because there were many people in the audience who were similar to them, after hearing the three of them cheering for Qiao Bai, the others also started to cheer wildly for their relatives and friends or the players they favored!

Qi Yue, Lin Weiwei, and Li Gan exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a sense of calm, understanding, and expectation.

"Hmph! I knew someone would do this today! So... ta-da! We've already prepared a new secret weapon!" Qi Yue said with her arms crossed and a disdainful look on her face.

Li Gan: "We need to give our 'Big Uncle' the best and most unique way to cheer him on!"

Lin Weiwei nodded, then hesitated for a moment and whispered, "We didn't discuss this with Qiao Bai beforehand. Won't he be angry if he sees this?"

"What's there to be angry about?" Qi Yue waved her hand dismissively. "We're just fulfilling our obligations as friends and family! We're already being lenient by not making him thank us!"

talking.

With a "whoosh," Qi Yue and Li Gan each pulled out a red banner.

Lin Weiwei, who was sitting in the middle, offered her two hands, one on the left and one on the right, to help Qi Yue and Li Gan hold the other side of the banner.
