Chapter 370: Updating Informaion

“Damn, that move was insane!”

Someone shouted, shattering the silence. The audience erupted into a wave of uproarious chatter.

“We won? Just like that?!”

“Our province’s only advanced-tier pet beast lost just like that?!”

“Wasn’t Ruan Yunwen expected to take first place in Zhejiang Province this year?”

“She put it to sleep and dragged it out of the arena. Unreal…”

“I didn’t feel much when a mid-tier beast dragged another mid-tier beast, but seeing a mid-tier beast dragging an advanced-tier one feels surreal, especially given their size difference…”

“Overall, the match’s rhythm was completely controlled by that kid from Shengshui High… By the way, what was Shengshui High’s admission cutoff score last year?”

Meanwhile, the official livestream was flooded with comments.

[LOL, who knew this was even possible!]

[66666, I never saw that coming!]

[Damn?! This girl’s got game!]

[Legendary move!]

[Give me all the details about that ghost-type pet in one minute!]

[That ghost-type pet looks so happy, it’s like it’s ready for work.]

[Ahhh! Will we get to see Ice Qiya in the next round?!]

[Qiao Sang’s inner monologue: You’ve never seen the world, have you?]

At the Kainan Pet Beast Battle Arena, in the first-row VIP section:

Wang Weidou straightened his back and laughed heartily.

“Principal Huang, it looks like your school might still have a chance to experience the strength of our Qiao Sang.”

Huang Renbiao remained silent.

Wang Weidou patted his shoulder with a brotherly grin.

“Let’s just hope your students don’t lose too early before they face Qiao Sang.”

Huang Renbiao’s mouth twitched. He suddenly understood the frustration of wanting to curse someone out.

Having a Qiao Sang at his school really had this guy on cloud nine.

Seeing Huang Renbiao’s deflated look, Wang Weidou felt immensely satisfied.

After so many years, he could finally bask in glory!

Wang Weidou cheerfully added, “What if your school’s top three all get a taste of defeat from Qiao Sang?”

What kind of tone was that? Was he implying that Ding Yanjing and the others would all lose to Qiao Sang? Huang Renbiao took a deep breath, barely holding back his emotions, and was about to retort when- �

The usually silent principal of Wucai High School softly remarked:

“Principal Wang, Qiao Sang’s match against our Ruan Yunwen isn’t over yet.”

Wang Weidou: ...

Damn, he’d almost forgotten Wucai’s principal was sitting there.

Wang Weidou fell silent. Apart from dealing with those at Litan Beast Taming High, he prided himself on maintaining a wise and amiable image outside his circle.

Why did he stop talking? Keep going…

Huang Renbiao glanced at Wang Weidou, his mood lifting.

In the second round, Ruan Yunwen sent out her Twin-Tailed Land Turtle, while Qiao Sang stuck with Little Treasure.

The livestream platform was instantly filled with groans and complaints.

Most of the viewers were from the Guwu region, tuning in specifically to see Ice Qiya. After struggling with a laggy platform, they were disappointed not to see Ice Qiya in action.

Despite the grumbles, viewer numbers didn’t drop.

Qiao Sang’s flashy tactics with the ghost-type pet had captivated the audience.

In this round, Ruan Yunwen’s fighting spirit waned. She couldn’t respond as swiftly to Little Treasure’s attacks as she had in the first round.

Whether or not her opponent was in top form wasn’t Qiao Sang’s concern.

Battles are fair but brutal.

Once you step onto the stage, no one cares about your condition or comfort. If anything, you can only blame yourself for lacking the mental resilience and preparation.

Ruan Yunwen relied too heavily on her Glide Owl. After its loss, regardless of her opponent, she felt all her efforts would be futile.

With such a mindset, Qiao Sang allowed Little Treasure to perform freely, effortlessly winning the second round.

Despite the Twin-Tailed Land Turtle’s impressive attack and defense, its sluggish speed made it an easy target for a nimble pet like Little Treasure.

However, Little Treasure had his own flaws, his weak defense meant that a couple of hits from the Turtle could have taken him down.

That is, if the attacks landed.

As soon as the match began, Little Treasure teleported right in front of the Turtle.

Caught off guard, the Turtle, already wide-eyed, looked even more alarmed. Little Treasure’s eyes glowed purple, casting a powerful hypnotic spell.

Despite being a mid-tier pet beast, the Turtle couldn’t resist such a high-level hypnosis technique.

The referee counted down, but the Turtle remained unconscious, prompting an official declaration of Qiao Sang’s victory.

Carrying Little Treasure, Qiao Sang returned to the stands.

Almost everyone followed her movements with their eyes, giving her the brief illusion of being the center of attention.

The moment she sat down, Xu Yixuan exclaimed excitedly, “Qiao Sang! I knew you’d win, but I never thought you’d defeat Ruan Yunwen with just Treasure-Seeking Demon. You should’ve seen Ding Yanjing’s face, it turned completely black!”

“Xun?”

Little Treasure turned to stare at Xu Yixuan.

Did it seem so surprising for him to take down two opponents in a row?

Xu Yixuan froze. She wasn’t afraid of ghost-type beasts but realized her words had been heard loud and clear.

“She means she didn’t know you could be this powerful.” Qiao Sang said, patting Little Treasure’s head.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure’s eyes curved into a joyful expression.

Xu Yixuan sighed in relief.

Beside her, He Dadao admired sincerely, “Qiao Sang, if I had your way with words, I’d have a girlfriend by now, even without good looks.”

Qiao Sang: ...

Whether or not I’m good at talking, one thing’s for sure, you’re definitely bad at it.

Qiao Sang didn’t stick around for the remaining matches. With some time left before the Beast Taming Center closed, she used her phone to navigate to the Kainan Beast Taming Center.

Yesterday, the schools from Zhejiang Province had just arrived, and many students had taken their pets for full checkups. To avoid drawing attention, Qiao Sang opted to go today.

At the Kainan Beast Taming Center, first-floor registration desk:

A few staff members were chatting at their stations during a lull.

A female worker with a bun sighed, “Ugh, why do work hours have to overlap with the matches?”

A male colleague with wavy hair replied lazily, “It’s just a national high school pet beast competition, not college-level. What’s the big deal?”

“What do you know?” The bun-haired woman shot him a look.

“The only Flame Hound in the world belongs to a high schooler competing right now.”

Flame Hound…

The wavy-haired man froze, then lit up.

“If you want to watch, just take leave. Wanna go together?”

The woman sighed again and declined, “No way. If I take leave, I’ll lose this month’s performance bonus.”

She tilted her head back dramatically.

“Life as a corporate drone is so hard!”

Fine, if you’re not going, I am.

The man pulled out his phone, ready to request leave.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out at the counter:

“Hello, I’m here to update my pet information.”
