Chapter 1031 - 813: Coordination Competition (Two-in-One)_3

Soon, the two of them arrived on the third floor.

"Dean Sili is waiting for you inside," the staff said as they pushed open the main doors to the third-floor hall.

The dominant color was a resplendent gold.

A massive chandelier sparkled brilliantly, surrounded by hundreds of dazzling, colorful lights.

Seats were arranged according to different tiers, offering varied viewing angles and perspectives.

A colossal stage stood at the front, with beams of light streaming down as adjustments were being made.

At this moment, there weren’t many people in the hall. Qiao Sang immediately noticed five individuals seated in the front row, closest to the stage, one of whom was Dean Sili.

Marlal took another deep breath.

Qiao Sang strode forward.

Marlal hurried to keep up.

Dean Sili turned her head at the commotion. Seeing the people she had been expecting, she smiled and said, "You’re here."

"Dean Sili."

Qiao Sang and Marlal greeted her in unison.

"Who are these two?" asked a middle-aged woman with red hair and striking blue eyes seated on the judging panel.

"These are students from my academy," Dean Sili replied with a smile.

"Isn’t this Qiao Sang? This year’s Star Beast Tamer champion!" exclaimed another middle-aged man, stylishly dressed in a black suit with golden glasses, turning in surprise.

The remaining two judges looked over as well, offering friendly smiles.

Although Qiao Sang wasn’t someone from the Coordination Sector, the fact that her General-level Pet Beast could perform Super-level Skills was almost common knowledge among anyone who followed the news.

Qiao Sang quickly returned the smile.

"That’s her," Dean Sili said, pointing to two seats behind them. "You can sit here. The competition is about to begin. I need to verify the participants’ information."

With that, she turned back and focused intently on the documents in her hands.

After sitting down, Qiao Sang lowered her voice and asked, "Five judges? So many? I thought there were always three."

Marlal replied in an equally low voice, "Coordination tournaments always have five judges. You probably watched a smaller-scale coordination competition."

Indeed, Qiao Sang hadn’t seen many coordination competitions, and most of her experience came from watching them on television. Later, she got so busy that even watching TV became a luxury... Qiao Sang asked, "Aside from Dean Sili, who are the others?"

Marlal immediately began the introductions: "The one with the striking red hair is the Director of Coordination Center in District One. She’s an official representative. The man with the glasses is an expert in the Breeding Sector."

"Coordination competitions evaluate the charm of Pet Beasts—their fur, their condition, whether they’ve taken banned substances. Professionals from the Breeding Sector need to assess these aspects."

"That lady in the silk gown was last year’s global champion of the Elegance Tournament."

"Finally, the older man with white hair is a Pet Beast Coordination Master who competed in coordination tournaments during his youth. He won every time and has trained many outstanding Harmonizers."

These are all top-tier figures... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the black suit turned his gaze toward Yaobao, Xun Xun, and Gangbao, smiling as he said, "Your Pet Beasts are nurtured exceptionally well."

"Thank you," Qiao Sang replied graciously.

"Are you interested in coordination tournaments?" the man followed up.

Dean Sili didn’t turn her head, but her hand paused briefly.

With so many Coordination Sector big shots present, could she say no? Qiao Sang grumbled internally but remained outwardly composed: "Of course, watching coordination tournaments is always a visual feast."

Dean Sili continued flipping through her materials.

"If you’re interested, you should consider participating," the man suggested warmly. "I think your Flame Kiru, Ice Aipa, and Gangzhan Giant Falcon would be perfect for it."

"Xun Xun?"

Little Xunbao pointed at itself with its paw.

Was it being forgotten?

"Especially the Gangzhan Giant Falcon," the man’s eyes lit up, adding with excitement, "Gangzhan Giant Falcon is a brand-new evolution on Chao Su Star. However, because it underwent Bond Evolution and its initial form is Little Steel Falcon, many people—even if intrigued—are reluctant to contract and train it."

"But if the Gangzhan Giant Falcon participates in a coordination tournament, allowing more people to witness its charm, I believe more trainers would be willing to contract Little Steel Falcon in the future."

"Gangzhan..." Gangbao’s eyes flickered with an unusual emotion.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

To be honest, concerning coordination tournaments, most people felt her suitability lay with Yaobao and Lubao. Very few directly pointed out that Gangbao was the most appropriate candidate.

Indeed, Yaobao and Lubao were native to Blue Star. Even if they entered coordination tournaments and showcased their charm, the most they would generate was brief chatter.

But if Gangbao successfully displayed its appeal, it could allow more people to notice this species.

In the last Star Beast Tamer competition, she had only sent Gangbao into a match once...

Thinking about it, Qiao Sang nodded earnestly: "I’ll consider it."

The man smiled with satisfaction and turned away.

Dean Sili slid an unopened bottle of drink toward him. "Thirsty? Want to have some?"

The man was pleasantly surprised, quickly accepting it and expressing gratitude.

[Do you want to join?] Qiao Sang asked in her mind.

[Gangzhan,] Gangbao replied swiftly.

It needed time to think.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Xunbao glanced at the seated humans, then looked at its Beast Tamer. Its cheeks puffed up slowly.
