Chapter 1063: Chapter 828: Whispers (Two in One)_2

The judge with waist-length brown hair draped in a fiery red cape spoke up:

“I can feel the power of the Gangzhan Giant Falcon and its exquisite control, but it seems you didn’t consider the audience’s experience.”

“The performance aims to showcase visual effects and let the audience feel the charm of the Pet Beast, but your Gangzhan Giant Falcon was too focused on demonstrating its strength, to the point that its power overwhelmed the audience, making it hard for them to look directly.”

“Perhaps you forgot that this coordination contest is held indoors.”

“If the competition venue were outdoors, I would have given you a higher score.”

After speaking, she gave a score of [7.8].

When Qiao Sang saw this number, her heart sank again.

The last judge, an elderly woman with her hair elegantly tied up and exuding a sophisticated aura, smiled and began:

“This was a brilliant performance. The control displayed by the Gangzhan Giant Falcon was absolutely up to an excellent standard, but the power of the wind was simply too intense. Even its aftermath allowed everyone to feel the strength of the wind.”

“This, in turn, reflects the power of the Gangzhan Giant Falcon.”

“When the Whirlwind reached the audience area, it was remarkably well-controlled and didn’t sweep any audience members into it.”

Upon hearing this, a man with thick black hair in the audience had a devastated look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

At this moment, a kind observer next to him leaned over and softly reminded:

“It’s still a bit messy.”

The man hurriedly adjusted the position of his hair.

The judge with her hair in a bun continued:

“What’s most impressive is that the Whirlwind started off modest, but toward the end, it nearly filled the entire stage. Whether expanding the whirlwind or controlling the energy balance while inside it, all while pressing the Mini Shrinking Bracelet to revert the Gangzhan Giant Falcon to its smaller form—it’s an incredibly difficult feat.”

“Especially the latter. When the Pet Beast grows in size, its skills scale in power accordingly. In such situations, maintaining previous control is impossible and requires adaptive adjustments.”

“The Gangzhan Giant Falcon’s final dazzling appearance amidst the storm genuinely astonished me.”

“In summary, this is a performance that leaves a deep impression.”

Soon enough, the final score was revealed:

[9.5]

When Qiao Sang saw this score, she silently let out a sigh of relief.

“Contestant No. 78, Qiao Sang, has scored a total of 26.2 points. That’s a commendable result. We look forward to seeing her again in the next round!”

Amid the host’s enthusiastic words, Qiao Sang led the now-reduced-in-size Gangbao backstage.

On the way to the contestants’ rest area, Gangbao was unusually quiet.

Noticing Gangbao’s low spirits, Qiao Sang comforted it:

“It’s okay. I’ve roughly calculated; the average score of the previous contestants is around 24. We should be able to make it to the next round.”

“Gangzhan.”

Gangbao suddenly stopped, looked up at its Beast Tamer, and let out a cry.

But progressing to the next round wasn’t why it joined the competition in the first place.

This performance—it felt like it had messed it up.

“Messed it up? Not at all.” Qiao Sang stopped walking, fixed her gaze on Gangbao, and said seriously, “You did great in this performance. The Whirlwind was executed perfectly. Didn’t you notice how the judges were praising you?”

She paused, sighed lightly, and added: “If there was any issue, it was me. I didn’t consider how the Whirlwind’s intensity might affect the audience.”

“Gangzhan.”

Hearing her latter words, Gangbao stepped forward, extended its wing to pat its Beast Tamer’s leg, and let out a cry.

It’s not your fault; it’s your first time participating in such a competition too.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Wait, wasn’t I supposed to be comforting you? Why are you the one comforting me now… Qiao Sang thought to herself, crouching down to scoop the Gangbao into her arms: “Stop overthinking. Let’s head back for now.”

“Gangzhan…”

At the moment it was picked up by its Beast Tamer, Gangbao’s body stiffened, and it promptly forgot about the competition.

To be honest, this was its first time being hugged—it felt a bit awkward…

Understanding the sturdiness of its body, Gangbao tried to relax, attempting to make itself a bit softer.

Qiao Sang entered the contestants’ rest area.

Nearly all the contestants immediately turned their gazes toward her, scanning her repeatedly before ultimately focusing on Gangbao.

Gangzhan Giant Falcon, the only one of its kind on Chao Su Star—a uniquely rare introduction…

They couldn’t believe they were witnessing the globally unique Pet Beast in this form?

Qiao Sang returned to her original seat and sat down.

Gangbao flapped its wings and descended to the ground.

“Ya Ya!”

Yaobao called out excitedly, indicating that the performance was thrilling.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunter displayed an enthusiastic expression, eager to go on stage.

Lubao didn’t say anything, merely poking its head halfway out of its backpack to look in their direction.
