At the same time, the official livestream was filled with lamentation.

[Ice Emperor Ram! How could you not even have the strength left to cast Healing Light! You should have at least healed yourself a bit first; seeing you return to the Beast Codex like that is heartbreaking.]

[She could barely keep her eyes open, let alone cast Healing Light...]

[Even though it’s a draw, my heart aches. Ice Emperor Ram took so many hits this match!]

[Being able to pull a draw is good enough; the opponent was Yuan Tianlong’s Red Warm Dragon, after all.]

[What about Yuan Tianlong? Ice Emperor Ram’s beast tamer is Goddess Qiao.]

[Let’s be realistic. If they were the same age, there’d be no comparison, but there is a definite gap in strength due to their actual ages. To be honest, for a King-level pet like Ice Emperor Ram, who only recently evolved, to draw with the Red Warm Dragon is already unexpected.]

[The Red Warm Dragon is seriously powerful. It doesn't even have a Super-tier skill yet it beat Ice Emperor Ram to that state. It's just a pity that Yuan Tianlong’s commands were too slow when Blaze was triggered. If he had ordered an attack sooner, Ice Emperor Ram might not have even had the chance to use Avalanche.]

[Easy for you to say. You think you're better than Yuan Tianlong? Then why didn't you enter the Regional Competition?]

[Good job, Ice Emperor Ram! Even when you closed your eyes, it was only after seeing the Red Warm Dragon lose! In my heart, you’re the winner!]

[What’s the word? Are the results out?]

[1:1, a draw.]

[Crap, it actually ended in a draw? How? When I left, Ice Emperor Ram was being suppressed; I thought she was going to lose this round for sure.]

[Go watch the replay and you’ll see.]

[I really am bad luck. When I watch, she gets bullied; when I don't, she draws. If I hadn't watched from the start, would she have won...]

While the bullet chat discussed the first match, a "10" light projection appeared on the field. The mechanical voice followed.

In the commentary booth, Tian Yiwan said: "With the first match ending in a 1-1 draw, victory in the second match becomes crucial. I wonder what pets both sides will send out for this round."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light projection shifted to "1". The image vanished. Qiao Sang and Yuan Tianlong formed hand seals simultaneously.

Massive star arrays lit up the ground, and soon, two pets of different sizes appeared atop the arrays.

"Yap yap!"

"Zai zai."

"Contestant Qiao Sang has sent out Blazing Divine Lion, while contestant Yuan Tianlong has sent out Disaster Dragon!" 

Tian Yiwan introduced the two appearing pets: "Blazing Divine Lion is a King-level Fire and Psychic-type pet, while Disaster Dragon is a General-level Dark and Dragon-type pet. It seems the outcome of this match will be without suspense."

The audience looked at the two pets in the star arrays and began to gossip: "Why did Yuan Tianlong summon a Disaster Dragon? I thought he’d send out his Sawtooth Dragon for the second round."

"Isn't this just giving Qiao Sang a free win?"

"What’s up with Yuan Tianlong? First the Red Warm Dragon, now the Disaster Dragon. It feels like he isn't taking the finals seriously at all. If he’d just sent out the Sawtooth Dragon, he might have taken two rounds back-to-back."

"No, quite the opposite. He takes this match very seriously." A long-time fan of Yuan Tianlong said.

"How can you tell? The Red Warm Dragon was fine; its combat power is strong. But a Disaster Dragon? In a 1-1 tie, he summons it for the second round? That's clearly throwing a point."

"Who is Yuan Tianlong’s strongest pet?"

"Do you even have to ask? The Sawtooth Dragon."

"Exactly. The Disaster Dragon knows Dragon Luck Field. It lasts for a period of time, during which Dragon-type pets have increased comprehension and the power of Dragon-type moves is enhanced."

"You mean Yuan Tianlong summoned the Disaster Dragon just to set up a Dragon Luck Field for the Sawtooth Dragon to boost its comprehension and power? That’s overkill, isn't it? The Sawtooth Dragon should be able to beat Blazing Divine Lion even without a field..."

"That’s why I say he takes this match very seriously. To be precise, he takes this opponent very seriously. As a long-time fan, his state of mind while fighting Qiao Sang is different. I could tell from the moment he summoned the Red Warm Dragon for the first match."

Disaster Dragon, a General-level dual Dark and Dragon-type pet. It has a brutal personality and high destructive power, but its intelligence is very high. If it recognizes its beast tamer, it will set aside its ferocity...

As Qiao Sang looked at the pet roughly six meters tall, mostly grey-black with a giant tail and white rings on its neck and tail, data flashed through her mind. She was both surprised and not surprised.

The surprise was that Yuan Tianlong sent out the Disaster Dragon, the lack of surprise was because she had anticipated this possibility.

After all, according to the data on Disaster Dragons, they know Dragon Luck Field.

Besides increasing the power of Dragon-type moves for a certain duration, this skill increases the comprehension of Dragon-type pets, allowing them to better understand their tamer's words. It even increases the success rate of executing moves that haven't been fully mastered.

Increasing the power of Dragon-type moves for the Sawtooth Dragon was likely secondary, the opponent most likely wanted to ensure the Sawtooth Dragon successfully executed its Super-tier skill, Dragon Sonic Blast.

Since the Dragon Luck Field lasts for a limited time, if the Disaster Dragon had come out in the first match, the effect wouldn't have lasted until the third. It made the most sense to bring it out for the second round.

To think Yuan Tianlong actually made such an arrangement.

He really thinks highly of me... For a moment, Qiao Sang felt the weight of being respected.

To be honest, Qingbao’s Mist Field had a similar function, for a duration, it prevents pets on the ground from falling into abnormal status. Most importantly, Dragon-type move damage is halved.

She had also considered letting Qingbao go out first to drop a Mist Field and then retreat. If Dragon-type damage could be halved, it would be more effective than hitting a Dragon-type pet multiple times.

Unfortunately, the proficiency of Qingbao’s Mist Field was too low, and her own level was low as well. Setting aside how long the field would last or if it would even work on a King-level Dragon pet, if the arrangement went wrong and Qingbao faced the Sawtooth Dragon or Red Warm Dragon directly, she’d likely be one-shotted before she could even cast the field.

While her thoughts flickered, Yabao teleported behind the Disaster Dragon, opening his mouth to reveal sharp teeth. A phantom Yabao head made of fire appeared simultaneously, mimicking the biting motion.

Seeing this, Yuan Tianlong did not issue an order.

The Disaster Dragon felt the extreme heat behind it but did not turn or move. Instead, its body glowed with a silver-white light. Simultaneously, that silver-white light spread rapidly from where it stood to the surrounding area.

The fire-condensed Yabao head bit down.

With a "bang," the flames exploded. A heatwave rolled over the Disaster Dragon.

"Zai zai!"

The Disaster Dragon let out a miserable cry. By now, the silver-white light had covered most of the arena and then vanished.

Dragon Luck Field, complete... Yuan Tianlong breathed a slight sigh of relief at this scene.

After the first match with Ice Emperor Ram, he realized Qiao Sang was likely even harder to deal with than he had imagined. Others thought the Sawtooth Dragon was definitely stronger than Blazing Divine Lion because his past displays of power had created that impression, but to be honest, they hadn't seen Blazing Divine Lion in many matches.

Few people even knew Blazing Divine Lion was hiding a Super-tier skill like Lava Purgatory. If he hadn't personally seen the video of Qiao Sang’s match on Chaosu Star, he probably wouldn't have believed Blazing Divine Lion had a Super-tier skill in his pocket either.

Whether he could win might still depend on whether the Sawtooth Dragon could successfully execute Dragon Sonic Blast...

After all, after Blazing Divine Lion, there was still Steel Sword Falcon. Given how Qiao Sang could never be judged by common logic, Steel Sword Falcon might already be able to control her temporary evolution at will...

Just as Yuan Tianlong was envisioning how the Sawtooth Dragon would fight Yabao next, the Disaster Dragon pushed against the ground, struggling to slowly stand up.

Yuan Tianlong: ???
