Amidst their conversation, Electric Mad Dog moved at high speed like a bolt of white lightning.

Although its speed was fast enough, its movement trajectory remained clearly visible in Qiao Sang's sight.

Just as the white lightning was merely ten meters or so away from Tingbao, she opened her mouth: "Strike forward!"

The yellow electrical arcs on Tingbao's body rapidly converged into a single bolt that struck down directly forward.

"Dian kuang!"

Electric Mad Dog caught the hit head-on, letting out a painful shriek.

However, it didn't stop its movement because of this. Putting on a resolute expression, it broke through the yellow lightning and charged straight toward Tingbao.

Bang!

A loud crash resounded, and Tingbao was sent flying backward.

Clamor erupted all at once on the field: "Electric Mad Dog is pretty solid!"

"Qiao Sang's command was spot-on, but unfortunately, Little  Thunder Dragon's attack power just isn't high enough."

"Electric Mad Dog is a Fire/Electric-type pet after all, breaking through an Electric-type skill executed by a pet lower in rank than itself is only normal."

"The outcome of this match is still hard to say. Electric Mad Dog's Electric-type skills have no effect on Little Thunder Dragon, but it knows Quick Attack. If it uses that move continuously from here on, it might just win."

"With just that single hit of Quick Attack, Little Thunder Dragon is probably already done for, right?"

"You didn't watch yesterday's match, did you? This Little Thunder Dragon has the Multiscale trait, damage taken at full health is halved! Although it was attacked previously, those were Electric-type attacks, and it possesses the Lightning Rod trait, so that hit just now was actually its very first injury."

"These two traits combined are genuinely incredible. If Little Thunder Dragon's rank were the same as Electric Mad Dog's, it would definitely win this match."

"If the ranks were the same, even without these two traits, Little Thunder Dragon would definitely win, okay? I won't deny Electric Mad Dog's combat capability is strong, but a dual Dragon/Electric-type pet's attack and defense completely overwhelm it. Qiao Sang's command capability also appears superior to Yu Shike's, a powerful combo like that couldn't lose no matter how you think about it."

"What's the point of saying all this? Their ranks aren't the same right now."

On the field.

"Lei lei..."

Silver-white light surged across Tingbao's body as he struggled to stand back up.

"Quick Attack!" Yu Shike shouted in a loud voice.

Without a second thought, Electric Mad Dog transformed into a bolt of white lightning once more, charging straight over.

Looks like the match is about to end... Everyone looked at the field, waiting for the impending impact.

It's already impossible to trigger the Multiscale trait again, and for Discharge, there's a huge probability Electric Mad Dog would push through the damage to continue attacking. The only chance to win right now is Dragon Tail... Qiao Sang stared intently at Electric Mad Dog's movement trajectory.

Can only gamble on this one shot!

When the white lightning reached a position roughly three meters in front of Tingbao, she shouted: "Dragon Tail!"

Dragon Tail? Little Thunder Dragon knows Dragon Tail too? The crowd blanked out for a moment.

"Lei lei!"

Tingbao put on a serious expression, gathering power in his tail.

Silver-white light abruptly wrapped entirely around his tail as he whipped it heavily forward.

Right as his tail whipped forward, the white lightning charged square into the exact spot where his tail was swishing.

Bang!

The silver-white tail slammed heavily onto the white lightning.

"Dian kuang!"

Electric Mad Dog let out a painful shriek and was sent flying backward.

The camera gave a close-up.

In the frame, Electric Mad Dog was already unconscious with its eyes closed.

Gasping for air, Tingbao looked at his fallen opponent without displaying a particularly ecstatic expression.

The venue fell quiet for a brief moment, after which clamor rose like dust in the wind.

The sheer volume of the noise and the intensity of the discussion marked a first since the tournament began.

"Holy crap, this Little Thunder Dragon actually knows Dragon Tail!"

"Either it doesn't use Dragon-type skills, or the moment it does, it's directly a High-tier skill, incredible!"

"A Low-level pet actually pulled off a High-tier skill successfully, this could make the news, right..."

"To think it hid it this deep! It didn't even use this move yesterday during its battle with Shell Snail."

"This Little Thunder Dragon's talent is definitely insanely good. When pets are born, it's possible to awaken high-tier skills at lower levels, but those are innate species skills. Dragon Tail isn't an innate skill, this means either he learned it through training or it's built into his bloodline."

"No need to even think about it, it's definitely the latter. How could a Low-level pet learn a High-tier skill on its own? But even if it's built into his bloodline, it's still super impressive, how many pets awaken new skills without even being able to execute them, yet he executed a High-tier skill while still at a low rank!"

"If this Little Thunder Dragon weren't a pet from Blue Star, I'd want to contract him myself..."

"Can you even afford to raise him?"

"..."

In the guest panel area.

Fu Jian shot up from her seat, then sat back down, exclaiming in shock: "Little Thunder Dragon actually knows how to use Dragon Tail!"

Fyodor similarly wore a face full of astonishment: "After Little Thunder Dragon's Lightning Rod trait was revealed, I thought he might rely on that trait under Contestant Qiao Sang's command to secure victory, but I never imagined he was hiding such a trump card."

Saying that, he marveled: "What a massive surprise for us."

As a pet, Tie Daoyi usually watched battles or tournaments directly without reading books, so it didn't possess a particularly clear concept of what a Low-level Dragon-type pet executing Dragon Tail implied.

However, it knew that Tingbao had defeated the stronger opponent from a weaker position, jumping a rank to defeat Electric Mad Dog. It couldn't help but let out a call filled with admiration: "Tie tie."

"Tie tie."

Fu Jian and Fyodor heard the translation synchronously in their earpieces.

After listening, Fu Jian nodded her head:

"Tie Daoyi is right. Contestant Qiao Sang's command and timing at the final moment were extremely precise. Likewise, Little Thunder Dragon executed Contestant Qiao Sang's command at the very first instance, otherwise, Dragon Tail wouldn't have struck Electric Mad Dog with such pinpoint accuracy. If the command had been a second slower, or if Little Thunder Dragon's movement had been a second slower, Quick Attack would have struck Little Thunder Dragon first, and the match result would have been entirely different."

Fyodor summarized: "The synergy and trust between Contestant Qiao Sang and Little Thunder Dragon is precisely what we hope to see most."

"Tie tie."

Tie Daoyi nodded.

Amidst the sea of discussions, Qiao Sang stepped forward and picked Tingbao up in her arms.

Without waiting for all the matches to conclude, Qiao Sang exited the tournament venue, sitting on Yabao's back to take to the sky.

Tingbao wrapped his tail around an Energy Recovery Potion, sipping it.

Levitating beside Yabao, Mikayla asked: "Tingbao can already execute Dragon Tail smoothly?"

"Not yet." Qiao Sang shook her head:

"Being able to execute it in today's match was still good luck."

"Luck is also a form of strength." Mikayla said. Pausing as if thinking of something, she suddenly fell silent.

"Teacher, could I borrow your phone for a moment?" Qiao Sang inquired.

Without saying a word, Mikayla pulled out her phone and handed it over.

Qiao Sang dialed her own number.

Very quickly, the call went through.

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure's voice sounded through the speaker.

"Is Qingbao's match over yet?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure called out, indicating it was finished.

"When are you two coming back?" Qiao Sang asked again.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out.

Qingbao said she wants to head back after finishing watching the matches.

"Alright." Qiao Sang said. 

"Then let me know when you're ready to come back, and I'll recall you directly."

"Xun xun~" Little Treasure called out, signaling no problem.

After a few brief instructions, Qiao Sang hung up the phone and returned it to Teacher Mikayla.

Accepting the phone, Mikayla suddenly asked: "Do you want to head over to the Qinyin Fairy's tournament stadium to take a look right now?"

Right now? Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, answering honestly:

"Not really. Qingbao's match for today is already over."

Mikayla fell silent for a moment and stated: "Even if her match is over, you can still head over. Don't you want to watch and study the opponents she might face next alongside the Qinyin Fairy on site?"

Qiao Sang thought about it and said: "Better not. I can watch the replays of Qingbao's opponents when I get back; heading over now feels like quite a waste of money."

Although the school would reimburse travel expenses, she genuinely felt this money was unnecessary. Besides, she wanted more time to meditate after returning.

Mikayla stated calmly: "I can have Spengami send you directly over."

Qiao Sang's first reaction was: Holy crap, Spengami can go directly to Qingbao's tournament venue!

Her second reaction was: Makes sense. Spengami is an Emperor-level pet after all, crossing a mere city's distance is definitely no problem.

Then again, she felt as though Teacher Mikayla really wanted her to go... Reining in her thoughts, Qiao Sang asked: "Send me over? Aren't you going, Teacher?"

"I won't be going." 

Mikayla offered a faint smile: "I still have some matters to attend to. Spengami can accompany you and send you directly back once the tournament ends."

Qiao Sang still wanted to decline.

"Yap yap!"

At that exact moment, Yabao let out an excited bark, signaling that watching matches was great, he wanted to go watch matches!

Hearing this, Qiao Sang pivoted: "Alright then, I'll make a trip over."

"Mei mei." Mikayla called out.

Spengami revealed himself.

Mikayla picked up her phone and showed him the tournament address.

Blue light gleamed in Spengami's eyes. After roughly a few seconds, he departed from the spot with Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the others.

Levitating high in the sky, Mikayla took a deep breath and formed a hand seal.

A majestic and brilliant golden star array illuminated abruptly.

A Dragon-type pet, roughly one meter in size, wearing a dark red Lightweight miniature bracelet, predominantly blood-red all over, possessing a pair of wings larger than its body, a triangular head with three launch-port-like holes on each laterally extending horn, appeared inside the star array.

"Mo mo."

The pet with the triangular head looked toward Mikayla, displaying a dissatisfied expression as it let out a call.

"I only managed to free up time just now." Mikayla explained.

"Mo mo."

The pet with the triangular head let out a cold snort.

Mikayla fell silent for a moment: "I have a student I need to instruct personally, so it wasn't convenient."

"Mo mo?"

Looking to the side, the pet with the triangular head let out an inquiring call.

"I assigned her a task, so she'll be back later." Mikayla explained.

"Mo mo?"

The pet with the triangular head called out.

"She's an Imperial Class student, so her talent is naturally monstrous." Mikayla answered.

"Mo mo."

The eyes of the pet with the triangular head lit up, and it let out a call.

"No." 

Mikayla's eyelids twitched, refusing without a second thought: "Her contract pages are all occupied with contracted pets, so she currently has no vacant contract page. Even if she did, she already has a pet she wants to contract with."

"Mo mo."

Displaying a dissatisfied expression, the pet with the triangular head let out a call.

Pretending not to hear those words, Mikayla shifted the topic: "Now that I'm on Flame Star, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. Managing a species must keep you very busy right now; why don't you head back first?"

The pet with the triangular head stared at her in silence.

"Dragon King." Mikayla called out with a helpless expression.

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King let out a call, indicating there was no rush.

Saying that, it turned and flew forward.

Mikayla let out a sigh and said: "Wrong direction. Where I'm living right now isn't over there."

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King turned its head and let out a cold snort

Who said I'm going to where you live right now?

With that, it continued flying forward.

Mikayla: ...

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King suddenly turned its head and called out, telling her to hurry up and follow.

The corners of Mikayla's mouth twitched as she followed close behind.

Simultaneously.

Hasman.

Quanman Stadium.

Since Qingbao had registered for the tournament, Qiao Sang, as her Beast Tamer, walked right inside smoothly after verifying her identity.

The moment she entered, she felt the surging heat brought by the massive crowd.

In the enormous open-air training field, the surrounding spectator stands were covered above, while the middle of the battle field had no obstructions, allowing a view of the azure sky.

Looking across at a glance, dark masses of human and pet heads filled the view. The field appeared at least roughly ten times the size of the Mulan Stadium.

"Yap yap!"

Yabao looked excitedly at the field.

"Lei lei..."

Feeling a heat wave even stronger than before, Tingbao crawled from his Beast Tamer's neck over to Lubao's side.

Expressionless, Lubao allowed him to lean against her.

I wonder where Little Treasure and Qingbao are... Qiao Sang scanned the dense crowd around her, beginning to sense them through her mind domain.

After sensing for roughly two seconds, her brows furrowed, and she sensed once more.

After another two seconds, Qiao Sang fell silent.

Little Treasure and Qingbao were actually not inside this tournament field, nor were they anywhere near this venue, despite having called just a few minutes ago...

She... was lied to?

Qiao Sang pondered for two seconds, turned around, and departed.

"Yap yap?"

Yabao displayed a puzzled expression.

Why are we leaving?

"I need to find Little Treasure and Qingbao first." Qiao Sang stated.

"Yap yap..."

Yabao first put on an "Ah, so that's why" expression.

Poor Big Brother Little Treasure... Gangbao mourned silently for Little Treasure in her mind.

Arriving at the shopping area inside the tournament venue, Qiao Sang located a public telephone booth and dialed her own number.

After two beeps, the call went through.

"Xun xun?" Little Treasure's voice sounded through the speaker.

"It's me." 

Qiao Sang inquired in a gentle tone: "Where are you and Qingbao right now?"

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out, indicating they were still watching the matches.

"Is that so."

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out, indicating that was right.

Your guts have really grown fat... Qiao Sang hung up the phone, slowly exhaling a breath. Stepping out of the telephone booth, her hands formed a seal.

Two dazzling red star arrays illuminated simultaneously.

Very quickly, Little Treasure and Qingbao appeared inside the star arrays.
