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

Chapter 112 One-Shot Strategy and Violent Aesthetics! A direct counter to the boss lady!

After all, Qiao Bai was looking straight ahead, and they believed that a good classmate and comrade like Qiao Bai would never suggest putting up such a banner!

Yep.

That must be it!

Qiao Bai forced himself to focus his attention on the contestants on the field. After looking around, the four people he recognized and who left the deepest impression on him were naturally Fu Tianguang, Zhang Hongyi, and the Shen sisters.

Secondly, there's Zhang Ying.

Next is Xiang Xiaoyuan. The strength of the Thousand Millet Lord Beast is indeed not to be underestimated. Although she did not have the support of her subordinates, Xiang Xiaoyuan still managed to squeeze into the final day of the competition.

As Lu Wentao himself said, he was eliminated yesterday.

no way.

Ru Mengdie's precise control ability would be at a disadvantage if it was interrupted even slightly. Fortunately, Lu Wentao had a good mentality. As he himself said, as long as he was not eliminated in the first round, it would be a victory for him.

After that, no one else left a particularly deep impression on Qiao Bai.

However, Qiao Bai felt that recognizing 6 out of the 20 finalists was enough.

If he makes it to the finals, these guys will have one more round than he did today.

Unlike the first and second days of the preliminary rounds, there were no simultaneous matches today; each match was played individually.

then……

Qiao Bai was very lucky and drew the first spot to go on stage. His opponent was Zhang Ying, who had left a deep impression on him and everyone else yesterday.

Fu Tianguang looked at the arena with a subtle expression: "Ah... what a pity, I really wanted to play against both of them."

"Even if you lose the first round, you're not necessarily eliminated. There will always be a chance to compete again," Zhang Hongyi said calmly, sitting not far from him.

"That's true." Fu Tianguang was satisfied. "Then let's see who's stronger between these two."

It turns out that a new king has risen again.

Or will it be a dark horse that runs rampant?

The battle is about to begin.

"Professor Qiao Bai, I never expected to meet you in the first match of the finals." Zhang Ying looked at Qiao Bai opposite her and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan is so envious of me."

Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Qiao Bai subconsciously looked up in the direction behind Zhang Ying, and then saw a pair of eyes staring at Zhang Ying's back, almost staring two big holes in her, filled with a resentful expression.

She accidentally made eye contact with Qiao Bai, and her eyes instantly changed from resentment to blankness, then to fear, before she "whooshed" away from Qiao Bai's sight.

The speed of their movements left Qiao Bai in awe.

"Xiaoyuan noticed you were looking at Professor Qiao Bai?" Although Zhang Ying didn't turn around, he accurately guessed the development and direction of the matter. He smiled and said, "Xiaoyuan must have been shocked."

"But this is for the best, otherwise his constant staring at me would affect my mindset."

Qiao Bai's expression was complicated.

Hmm—was he brainwashed by Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei's strange expressions and eye contact, or were these two people just weird to begin with?

Qiao Bai: "Ready for the battle?"

Reject dog food with strange flavors.

First of all, he is not a dog.

Secondly, he doesn't eat dog food.

"Okay." Zhang Ying nodded. "Pearl Princess."

Qiao Bai patted the head of the cat-like creature in his arms: "Let's go."

A round, chubby cat-like insect versus a heroic mother, Pearl Princess.

The battle is about to begin!

Both the audience and the contestants looked at the two with great anticipation.

"Don't you think the larvae of the cat-cat worms would be even cuter? A bunch of cat-cat worms?" Qi Yue looked at the chubby cat-cat worms and imagined what the little cubs would look like after Pearl Princess gave birth. She couldn't help but smile.

Lin Weiwei followed Qi Yue's words and imagined it for a moment, her eyes gradually brightening up—it looked so cute!

The cat-like insect looks somewhat ugly at first glance.

If you look closely, it might be a bit off-putting.

But after getting used to it, you can inexplicably see a unique kind of ugly-cute charm in it.

A tiny cat-like worm... just thinking about it makes it even cuter!

"I can't speak for others, but Qiao'er will absolutely not give that clam spirit the chance to have offspring by faking it." Li Gan crossed his arms and said with a confident expression, "Letting a clam spirit have offspring by faking it is outrageous! With that weird skill of the Cat Dragon... Ugh, one is enough, if there are more..."

I can't even imagine it!

I really can't even imagine it!

"But this isn't about whether Professor Qiao Bai gives us a chance or not. Zhang Ying's clam spirit is a fraudster..." Lu Wentao squeezed next to them, sighing and analyzing seriously, "Unless it's a pure fighting type, a physical attack pet, the clam spirit will definitely be able to successfully commit fraud while fighting."

"Once the staged accident is successful... sorry, the situation gets out of control."

"Even fighting-type pets that rely on pure physical attacks have a hard time breaking through the shell of the clam spirit. It's really frustrating and disgusting."

As he spoke, Lu Wentao nodded seriously: "To be honest, if this clam spirit weren't a special, extraordinary creature that is currently the only one and whose population has not yet been discovered, our province's teachers and professors would have recommended Pearl Princess to the country for research on the 'Ultimate' project."

Don't ask.

The answer is that the shell of the Pearl Princess is really hard, really disgusting, and really unbreakable.

"No, no, no, you wouldn't know that, would you?" Li Gan chuckled, a smug expression on his face. "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean our Qiao'er or my great-father can't!"

The battle begins.

Pearl Princess made her move last, and Zhang Ying, without giving any instructions, simply watched with a smile as Qiao Bai took action.

Everyone else was waiting for Qiao Bai to make his move.

They were curious—how was Qiao Bai going to fight?

Physical attack?

Special skill attack?

What methods will Qiao Bai use to defeat this troublesome and disgusting clam spirit?

If possible, they would like to learn from Qiao Bai.

then……

"Approach it and use the Blade of Destruction."

Because of the Clam Spirit's unique nature—its inability to move, which causes additional damage and obstruction to the Cat Bugs—Qiao Bai stopped using Shadow Stealth and simply charged in.

Cat Bug: (≧ω≦*)☆

Chu~

Ok!

receive!

Then the audience watched as the cat-like bug, with its seven short legs, waving haphazardly yet at incredible speed, approached Pearl Princess.

Special energy fluctuations?

Not a single trace.

The cat-like bug leaped high into the air the instant it approached Pearl Princess. Its seven short, pointed legs looked so fragile, yet they were so indestructible the moment they pierced down—absolute defense?

I'll break them all apart for you!

"Shadow Tentacles stacked with Shadow Invasion!"

A pitch-black, strange shadow, like something twisting wildly, suddenly burst out from the shadow beneath the cat-like insect's body.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

With a special effect of cutting through the air, it tightly enveloped Pearl Princess in one fell swoop, allowing the poison to invade.

The Shadow Invasion domain instantly took shape, firmly controlling Pearl Princess within it!

The process was so smooth and the movements so nimble that some viewers didn't even realize what was happening.

The moment the layer of black, fog-like yet heavy, sticky black liquid that enveloped the Pearl Princess receded.

What others saw was a clam whose shell couldn't even close, its wide-open shell revealing a white clam core mixed with black toxins, and the shell remaining completely still.

audience:"?"

Contestant: "?"

Narrator: "?"

"Um... this situation is... could the referee go and check it out?" The commentator only remembered after being quietly reminded by Yulong and the Honghu University teacher beside him. Right, right, quickly let the referee go and check the situation.

The referee then showed a look of sudden realization and quickly stepped forward to check on Pearl Princess's condition.

"Pearl Princess is unable to fight, and Qiao Bai wins." When the referee said this, the audience didn't even have time to react.

No?

Is that all?

One-shot kill?

Did the whole process take more than a minute?

Oh.

Including the time the referee spent checking Pearl Princess's condition, it took about two minutes.

The other contestants were even more shocked.

Are Pearl Princess's skills disgusting?

Nausea.

Can we win?

difficult.

The main problem is that they can't break through that shell. If they don't fight, it's considered a passive match. But if they really fight... in the end, they'll be the ones who suffer. After watching Pearl Princess unleash her power yesterday, many players, including the seeded players who entered the finals today, have been thinking about this.

If they were to face Zhang Ying's Pearl Princess, how could they possibly win?

I didn't expect it to happen in just one minute.

Qiao Bai used his method to put on a special attack aesthetic for all of them.

Is it too difficult to win?

Something that doesn't exist.

Just go for it!

Look!

Isn't this an easy task?

After watching Cat Bug happily hop and skip into Qiao Bai's arms after defeating Pearl Princess, as if it hadn't wasted a single bit of energy, the expressions of the contestants and the audience once again became dazed.

The new king... truly a worthy new king!

No wonder they say there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong given names!

"Pearl Princess...!" Zhang Ying was also greatly shocked by the energy unleashed by the cat-like insect. He quickly ran to Pearl Princess's side, squatted down, and checked on her condition.

The toxins directly target the flesh of the pearl clam.

Because Pearl Princess's structure is similar to that of ordinary aquatic creatures, her body structure is also very simple. Unlike other pets that have to wait for the poison to spread throughout their bodies after being poisoned, Pearl Princess's actual internal body is just a small clump, and the poison spreads throughout her body the moment she is poisoned.

Once Pearl Princess's defenses were breached, she became incredibly vulnerable.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying gave a helpless bitter smile. He quickly recalled Pearl Princess into his spiritual sea beast-taming space. Before taking Pearl Princess to receive treatment, he looked at Qiao Bai and said, "Professor Qiao Bai, your pet beast is really amazing."

"Thank you for the compliment." Qiao Bai smiled and accepted this praise, which was even more sincere than the last one.

Catbug: Proud.jpg!

"Chirp chirp!"

That's right!

This dragon is just that powerful!

She's the most amazing little dragon in the whole place!

Qiao Bai patted the two dragon horns on the cat-like insect's head: "Tone it down, or you'll get slapped in the face later."

Cat Bug: (ˉ(∞)ˉ)

Impossible!

Seeing the tacit understanding between Qiao Bai and the cat-like insect, Zhang Ying quickly turned and left, taking Pearl Princess to detoxify without stopping.

He still has a chance to play in the revival match later. He must heal Pearl Princess before the remaining nine matches are decided and leave some time to rest and recover his strength.

Qiao Bai calmly and composedly walked off the field with the cat-like insect and sat back down next to Qi Yue and the others.

Meanwhile, countless eyes, both overt and covert, fell on Qiao Bai and the cat-like creature in his arms, filled with amazement and admiration.

"That was absolutely amazing!" Lu Wentao gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up and said, "Just look at how the second group of contestants were still in shock; you've already won in a flash!"

Take them all in one go!

That's so fast!

Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Cat Bug works very hard. You reap what you sow. Today is the day to see the results of Cat Bug's hard work over this period of time."

"The cat bug has submitted a pretty good report card."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai's hand gently stroked the cat-like insect's back intermittently.

The cat-like insect had an expression of enjoyment on its face.

But after hearing Qiao Bai's words, the cat-like insect struggled to wake up, as if it was dissatisfied with what Qiao Bai had said.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp!"

What constitutes a "not bad" answer sheet?

It was a perfect score on the exam!

Cat Bug: ╭(╯^╰)╮

This dragon is just that awesome!

"If you can win the championship directly, that's a perfect score."

Catbug: Silently turns its head.jpg

It's not that I don't want to make grand pronouncements.

It's really because...

Catbug: QwO

Beastmasters are so annoying!

Why must I admit that I'm incapable?

If you have to play five matches in a row, and each opponent is tougher than the last... you simply won't last until the end!

Catbug: I'm so emo

Today is not the day for dragons.

……

"kindness?"

"That's interesting."

In two relatively secluded spots at the scene, Ning Ruxue and Wang Nianyan, both wearing masks, were talking quietly with few people around them.

Wang Nianyan held a can of cola with a straw in one hand, and tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with the other hand.

As he watched the new group battle on the field, he was referring to Qiao Bai's previous performance.

"I thought coming out to watch the game with you today would just be a relaxing day, a waste of time, but I didn't expect to see something interesting."

"Qiao Bai's pet beast... has some interesting abilities, but its true strength is probably not as strong as I imagined."

"It shouldn't be rated eight stars based on its overall strength."

Wang Nianyan said with great confidence.

The answer is years of experience dealing with pets and extraordinary creatures.

"Ah... Qiao Bai does indeed have another pet beast, the Hua Bird, which has evolved and should be stronger than the Cat Dragon." Ning Ruxue nodded, recalling the discussions she had overheard about Qiao Bai from others before she arrived.

From dark horse to new king, an eight-star pet beast with comprehensive strength... and look at the one Qiao Bai is using, it's clearly the weaker of his two pet beasts.

However, those who did not know Qiao Bai well had no doubt whatsoever that Cat Dragon was indeed an eight-star pet beast in terms of overall strength.

"Even if it's not eight stars, this pet's overall strength rating should be at least seven stars," Ning Ruxue said. "However, the difference between seven stars and a true eight stars... should still be quite significant."

Even just considering the actual levels, there are very obvious differences.

"That's quite impressive. Using a pet beast that's at most a fourth-tier? Its strength should only be at the low fourth-tier level, it easily defeated several pet beasts, including this troublesome clam spirit. It's perfectly normal that no one doubts it."

Wang Nianyan nodded and said.

Ning Ruxue laughed upon hearing this.

Qiao Bai... really brings her a lot of surprises.

A talent for research on the evolution of pets.

The pet's talent in combat.

They were all so dazzling.

Go hand in hand.

It's so exaggerated it feels unreal.

Is this really something a normal human being could do?

Ning Ruxue's gaze towards Qiao Bai held a newfound admiration that she herself hadn't even realized she possessed.

Wang Nianyan, who had noticed what was happening, was speechless.

Suddenly, even the cola I drink doesn't taste sweet enough.

And why didn't my own elementary school student interfere today, saying that drinking carbonated drinks is unhealthy?

Thinking about it, Wang Nianyan bit the straw and made a loud "sizzling" sound as he sipped the straw from the bottom of the bottle.

Ning Ruxue, shifting her gaze away from Qiao Bai, said, "Teacher, drink less, or I'll tell your wife."

Wang Nianyan: "..."

Swallow it.

Feeling the bubbles bursting on the tip of your tongue – so satisfying!

……

The first round of fighting ended quickly.

Next up is the revival round for the remaining ten people.

Qiao Bai watched calmly.

Ten to five, choose one from five.

Not much time was wasted, and the list of the top 16 was quickly released.

All the people Qiao Bai was following were on the list.

Round of 16 to 8.

Perhaps it was a clash of fates that brought Qiao Bai into the fray with Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "!"

excitement!

He stammered and stuttered, and the young man almost couldn't finish his sentence when facing Qiao Bai alone, but when he did speak, his tone was incredibly provocative.

"I watched all your matches... and analyzed them very carefully!" Xiang Xiaoyuan said, "I... I... your pet's true strength is actually just so-so, I definitely won't lose!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

If Qiao Bai hadn't already met Xiang Xiaoyuan once before, heard Zhang Ying's explanation, and seen the jealous look in Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes as she stared at Zhang Ying's back... he really would have had a hard time understanding the true meaning behind Xiang Xiaoyuan's nonsensical words.

Oh.

The occasional glances Xiang Xiaoyuan gave him were filled with admiration and a shy embarrassment at being noticed by Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: OK

understood.

This will increase the intensity for the younger fans.

"Cat Bug, you'd better perform well and give it your all."

Cat bug: ヽ(￣▽￣)

Okay!

no problem!

And then... no more.

Qiao Bai, commanding the cat-like insects, nearly made Xiang Xiaoyuan question her existence in a five-minute match.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

do not know.

I don't know the answer when asked.

Holding the Thousand Millet Lord Beast, who had been knocked unconscious and whose eyes were filled with circles, Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes were also about to start spinning.

"You and your Thousand Millet Lord Beast are both very powerful," Qiao Bai said sincerely. "I almost lost."

No exaggeration.

Just as he said, Xiang Xiaoyuan had studied Qiao Bai's match very carefully and thoroughly. She discovered that Maomaochong was not strong enough and started from that point. She used her strategy very well. Unfortunately, Maomaochong had other comprehensive strengths besides its level. Its three unique attributes allowed it to maintain a respectable image and ultimately win the battle.

However, as a result, the cat-like insect's physical exertion far exceeded expectations.

I originally thought Catbug could last three and a half matches, but now it seems... the next match will be a bit difficult for Catbug.

There wasn't much rest time between the quarterfinals and the semifinals.

As the contestants are gradually eliminated, those pets that can continue to fight on the battlefield are all highly skilled and extremely difficult to deal with.

Want to win easily?

It's better to have some self-awareness.

"I...I'll try even harder next time!" Seeing that Qiao Bai was about to leave the arena, Xiang Xiaoyuan, carrying the unconscious Qianji Lord Beast, shouted loudly in Qiao Bai's direction, "I...I won't let you down!"

Done.

Before Qiao Bai could reply, Xiang Xiaoyuan became shy and withdrew her Thousand Millet Lord Beast, disappearing from Qiao Bai's sight in a hasty retreat.

Qiao Bai chuckled to himself.

Does this mean he's gained a new little fanboy?

Qiao Bai shook his head and led the cat-like insect out of the battlefield.

This time, Qiao Bai did not return to the front row of the audience seats, but instead took Maomaochong to a small supply station that was specially prepared for the contestants not far away.

It contains food and supplies suitable for pets of various attributes.

Just a second ago, the cat-like creature was half-dead and listless in Qiao Bai's arms, but its eyes lit up instantly upon seeing so much food.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

eat!

food!

A dragon can eat them all in one go!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai patted the cat-like insect's bouncy bottom: "Take it easy, go eat."

Catbug: ('ω') Got it!

Awooooo!

When Qiao Bai left the supply station carrying a cat-like creature with a round belly that was almost a ball, all that was left on the table was a bag of ordinary-tasting thin, crispy cookies.

A staff member who happened to be passing by the supply station, intending to check which type of food he wanted to consume the most and whether he needed to replenish his supplies, looked at the empty tables and the trash cans overflowing with garbage, and a big question mark appeared above his head.

No?

Is there enough food to supply forty pets?

Where did they all go?

Was this a case of being robbed?

The staff immediately went to report the situation to the teachers at Yulong and Honghu University, and confidently stated, "There will definitely be enough food!"

"At most, it just depends on the type and flavor; some types will be consumed faster, while others will have more left over!"

"It's impossible for any pet to eat all that food!"

We've been robbed!

This must be a case of being robbed!

When the teachers from Yulong and Honghu University heard this, they were shocked!

Urgently check the surveillance footage.

How could thieves possibly infiltrate Yulong and Honghu's territory?

You don't want to live anymore, do you?

Then... the next second they saw on the surveillance footage the cat-like insect frantically showing off its food.

Brilliant and dazzling.

For the first time, they discovered that this word was not an adjective, but a true description; the speed at which the cat-like insects ate had to be described with this word.

They probably need a more vivid way of putting it; the only thing they can think of is "starving ghosts throwing themselves..." *cough*

The staff were also stunned by this scene.

"This...this...this person's pet is eating way too much, it's outrageous..." The staff member's finger trembled as he pointed at the footage on the monitor. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Long and the Honghu University professor with smiles on their faces.

"Let's prepare more."

"So, if you think about it carefully, aren't you completely without fault? Why couldn't you have prepared more food?"

Staff member: "..."

You are Party A.

You are right.

Fine.

The staff member left in a daze, looking quite energetic.

The incredible appetite displayed by the cat-like insect still surprised him.

……

Actually, Qiao Bai was also a little surprised.

"Why are you eating so much?"

"I remember you only ate fifteen times the amount of food your older sister ate yesterday, and today it's increased several times over, hasn't it?" Qiao Bai said helplessly as he sat down and rubbed the cat's belly.

Catworm has been eating a lot lately.

Qiao Bai roughly understood that this was because the cat-like insect was accumulating energy to "hatch its shell," and he could comprehend it.

But the food we're eating today... is way too much!

Qiao Bai didn't know exactly how much food the staff had prepared, but it should be enough for twenty pets.

Unexpectedly, they were all eaten by cat bugs.

"If you're not feeling full, who is?" Qiao Bai rubbed the cat bug's belly and then rubbed its head a few times.

"Chirp chirp!"

Catbug lay in Qiao Bai's arms and protested loudly.

No, that's not true!

This is just a normal energy replenishment for this dragon!

Little Meilong is still growing!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Okay, okay.

I believed your nonsense.

Qiao Bai's gaze kept falling on the field.

The battle for the round of 16 was truly exciting.

In the quarterfinals, there is no revival round; a win is a win, and a loss is a loss, with no second chances.

We've come this far.

Anyone with even a little bit of strength would want to lose.

The battle for the quarterfinal spots is gradually becoming more intense.

Finally, when the cat bug let out a comfortable "gulugulu" sound from its throat and its round belly had almost shrunk, the battle for the quarterfinals came to a complete end.

Qiao Bai, Shen Ruowan, Zhang Hongyi, Fu Tianguang, Zhang Ying, and three other contestants whose names Qiao Bai was not very familiar with and had not specifically memorized, made it into the top eight.

What surprised Qiao Bai was that Shen Ruoyan, the older sister of the Shen sisters, did not make it into the top eight.

Then look at Shen Ruoyan's opponent in the round of 16 – Zhang Ying, Pearl Princess.

Oh.

What was unreasonable has become reasonable.

After all, Pearl Princess's skills are truly disgusting, and she's truly difficult to defeat.

When Qiao Bai left, he used a method that involved overwhelming force with all his might.

No one else can learn it.

Breaking through Pearl Princess's defenses alone is enough to stump many people.

imitate?

What kind of imitation?

It's impossible to imitate even a little bit.

Zhang Ying, who was almost eliminated at the beginning of the finals, successfully squeezed into the top eight after shaking off the shadow of Qiao Bai. Fate is such a capricious thing.

However, of the six people who came up from the revival round, apart from Zhang Ying, the other five failed to enter the top eight.

This also proves that Zhang Ying is capable, but she was unlucky enough to encounter Qiao Bai at the beginning, which almost led to her elimination.

After the top eight are announced, the next round will be the quarterfinals.

The battle for the top four.

Once you make it to the semifinals, you've almost secured a spot in the top three—after all, only one of the four will eventually be eliminated.

Having come this far, and believing they have the ability to enter the top four, who among them would think they would be the only one squeezed out of the top four?

Nobody thinks that way.

However, the warmth and connection between them grew stronger.

Quarterfinals!

The semifinals!

Victory is just ahead!

The first match is between Zhang Hongyi and Zhang Ying.

"Zhang Hong and Zhang Ying... I just realized they share the same surname." Lu Wentao couldn't help but laugh. "Although they didn't know each other before, they might have been family eight hundred years ago!"

"But today we'll fight to the death here!"

Tell me, isn't this lively scene entertaining?

Anyway, Lu Wentao thought it looked good.

Don't ask.

The question is that from the day Zhang Ying entered Junji University, mocking each other and watching the saga of their mortal enemies became one of the ironclad rules that had to be upheld.

Qiao Bai: "..."

You highly educated people really know how to have fun.

Just as everyone was about to discuss who was better between the two, Zhang Hongyi showed everyone what true violent aesthetics are.

What if you don't have talent?

It's okay.

We'll just rely on our strength to make up for it.

The Fighting-type Blood Lion King is a pure, hard-hitting physical attacker, unleashing a frenzied barrage of attacks with superior strength!

Bloodshed ensued!

Absolute defense?

Unless you're indestructible, we'll make a hole in you!

With a crack already appearing, is breaking through this tortoise shell really that impossible?

Arrogance!

Tear!

Violence erupts!

Princess Pearl... Princess Pearl suffered a horrific and unspeakable torment.

Pearl Princess: *sobs*

The Blood Lion King's heavy claws slammed into Pearl Princess's clam shell. The sharp claws made Pearl Princess tremble and cry out, "I can't fight back, I can't fight back at all!"

Compared to the cat-like insects whose toxins spread rapidly throughout her body and caused her to faint, the Blood Lion King instilled a more direct sense of fear in Pearl Princess.

Scared.

Shivering.

Pearl Princess: I'm not having any more children! I really can't have any more!

Zhang Hongyi won.

"Hmm... Zhang Hongyi was able to win because Pearl Princess hadn't fully recovered from the effects of Qiao Bai's condition." Unlike the cheers from the other audience members who were applauding the violent aesthetics of Zhang Hongyi's fighting style, Wang Nianyan calmly took a sip of cola, savoring the explosion on her tongue, before continuing, "That Cat Dragon... what a strange name. It had a far greater impact on Pearl Princess than I imagined."

"It can be seen from the last battle between Pearl Princess and Water Ice that Pearl Princess's gestation speed has slowed down, and the offspring she conceives are not as large or powerful as before."

"This is because of the rejection reaction left in its body by the toxin from the pet called Cat Dragon."

Ning Ruxue: "?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean, teacher," Ning Ruxue said, puzzled. "What kind of rejection reaction is there after the toxins are neutralized?"

Wang Nianyan shook her head.

Based on Wang Nianyan's observations of Pearl Princess over these few battles, once Pearl Princess regains consciousness after being knocked unconscious by the Cat Dragon's poison, she should be able to nurture the Cat Dragon's energy within her body under the guidance of her innate skill. Combined with the antidote treatment, this would truly free her from any further effects.

But Wang Nianyan just went to observe.

Pearl Princess did not give birth to any cat-like insect offspring.

Why?

Wang Nianyan had an answer in his mind: the energy concentration of the Cat Dragon far exceeded the level that Pearl Princess's current talent skills could produce.

The excessive energy that cannot be separated from the body through normal reproduction also affects Pearl Princess's ability to reproduce by exploiting the energy of other pets that could normally reproduce.

Wang Nianyan: This is getting more and more interesting!

"Just like in this battle against the Blood Lion King, Pearl Princess should have had two chances to conceive, but due to the previous impression of saturated energy, the conceiving failed." Wang Nianyan shrugged as he spoke: "Zhang Hongyi is indeed quite skilled; he actually managed to break through Pearl Princess's defenses."

"I can understand why Yulong is so eager to poach Zhang Hongyi, even at the risk of incurring the wrath of that old fox surnamed Zhang."

"It's worth it."

"With proper training, he can become a formidable member of the Star City Defense Force in a few years!"

What?!

North China Military Region?!

Whoops!

Who can blame them when Yulong is so good at poaching people?

If even his own little cubs can be poached, that old fox surnamed Zhang should reflect on his own problems.

Why won't the son work with his own father?

It must be that the biological father didn't do a good enough job.

Wang Nianyan: Let's keep watching the show.

The second match was between Shen Ruowan and anonymous player number one.

Without a doubt.

Shen Ruowan won.

Just when everyone else thought that the next two battles would most likely be Qiao Bai vs. anonymous contestant number two, and Fu Tianguang vs. anonymous contestant number three, and then the two kings would advance smoothly...

The lineup for the third match has been released: Qiao Bai vs. Fu Tianguang.

Qiao Bai and Fu Tianguang hadn't said anything yet.

The teachers from Yulong University were the first to stand up.

"Calm down! Even if Fu Tianguang goes up against Qiao Bai, he might not necessarily lose! Fu Tianguang's Golden Armored Pterodactyl is very powerful!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We should trust Fu Tianguang! He's one of the candidates for the top combat specialist this year!"

"But I just want to ask... why is Qiao Bai going up against one of our Yulong students again? Where is Honghu? Did Honghu secretly use some magic to make their students deliberately avoid Qiao Bai?"

The other teachers: "..."

Don't say it.

You know what?

When this teacher from Yulong University, whom they didn't know, suddenly shouted out, their first reaction was disbelief.

Then, why is it impossible?

If it's Yulong and Honghu... it seems like they really are capable of doing something like this!

The swan, suddenly doused with a bucket of dirty water, was speechless.

My first reaction was to roll up my sleeves and have a fight with Yulong.

Then his eyes darted around... Ah, even though he/she didn't do it, maybe one of the colleagues did it in private?

I have to say—that was absolutely brilliant!

Hahaha!

In the first round, Qiao Bai faced one of the promising young fighters from Yulong University's combat department. He didn't even give his opponent a chance to be eliminated in the first round, sending him straight away.

This battle for the top four pits against the top candidate of Yulong University's combat department.

Regardless of whether Qiao Bai can win or not, they are happy just to see Yulong University's miserable state!

The relationship between Yulong and Honghu is just that simple and unpretentious.

They're happy as long as the other side is unhappy, and they're double happy if their own players do well!

Yu Long: "..."

What a despicable swan!

……

"I never expected to meet you before the finals, this is great!" As soon as Fu Tianguang stepped onto the stage, his eyes were full of fighting spirit as he stared straight at Qiao Bai opposite him, without flinching or dodging, his fighting spirit was high.

"Actually, I had high hopes for you, but unfortunately, you ran into me before the finals, so you were destined to stop here."

Fu Tianguang proudly raised his head, and although his words were provocative, they didn't make people angry... probably because he spoke with such confidence that he seemed to think he was the best in the world.

Qiao Bai smiled.

It's okay.

He, and society as a whole, will teach Fu Tianguang a lesson in life.

"You're absolutely right, I think so too." Qiao Bai smiled, leaving Fu Tianguang speechless with just one sentence.

Fu Tianguang: "...Hmph!"

Qiao Bai was too calm, making Fu Tianguang feel no sense of accomplishment even when he made his harsh remarks.

Qiao Bai is completely disregarding him!

Fu Tianguang: Damn it!

No!

He was going to give it his all and show Qiao Bai his true strength!

Yulong is the top combat-type fighter, and that's no joke!

What?

Zhang Hongyi?

I don't know him!

"Come out, Golden Armored Pterosaur!" Fu Tianguang pointed to the sky with one finger, striking a cringeworthy pose as he loudly and earnestly called out to the Golden Armored Pterosaur.

Qiao Bai, standing opposite and watching this scene, was speechless.

to be frank.

Without the support of an energetic background music, it looks rather awkward.

Oh.

Qiao Bai's gaze fell on the Bluetooth headset hanging around Fu Tianguang's neck. Good, he understood why Fu Tianguang didn't find it cringeworthy or awkward.

They just added background music to their own world.

But the next second, a huge bird with a wingspan of three meters, feathers that shimmered with a metallic luster like steel, and an appearance that looked particularly ferocious and terrifying appeared behind Fu Tianguang.

"Ga—!"

Golden Armored Pterodactyl!

True to its name, when the lights of the arena fall on it, every metal feather turns into a gilded color!

Like pieces of metal dragon scales!

The golden-armored pterosaur stared intently at Qiao Bai and the cat-like insects on the ground with its fierce eyes.

When the cat-like insect saw the golden-armored pterosaur, its eyes also lit up.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp!"

A more affordable alternative to the boss lady?

Great!

Today, I, the dragon, will annihilate Big Sister's... ah, no, I'll act on behalf of Heaven! On behalf of the Beast Tamers, I will defeat you!

Golden Armored Pterosaur: ==

Although, but.

This little thing is just too arrogant!

What is meant by "alternative"?

It is the famous Golden Armored Grandpa!

No pet can rival it!
