A pet resembling an eyeball floated over to the Wind Proud Bird's side to make an observation.
Very quickly, the area occupied by Qiao Sang and Tingbao lit up with the green glow of victory.
"Lei lei..."
Tingbao cast a glance at his unconscious opponent, gasping for air as he crawled toward Qiao Sang's position.
The field fell into a brief silence for 0.1 seconds, after which clamor erupted everywhere.
"Incredible! Qiao Sang and Little Thunder Dragon jumped ranks to successfully challenge an opponent again. She's already beaten three Mid-level pets across ranks, at this rate, every Mid-level pet in this tournament might end up losing to Little Thunder Dragon!"
"The Wind Proud Bird was way too disobedient. If it had listened to Lila at the end there, it would've won the match."
"They haven't officially formed a contract yet after all. But then again, Qiao Sang and Tingbao don't look uncontracted at all, their coordination is even more seamless than me and my Great General."
"Jiang jiang." A black Bug-type pet nearby, roughly one meter in size, nodded its head.
In the guest panel area.
"To think Contestant Qiao Sang secured victory once again."
Fu Jian marveled: "She and Little Thunder Dragon bring us surprises in every single match."
Fyodor remarked: "Contestant Qiao Sang and Little Thunder Dragon's victory is inseparable from their seamless synergy and trust. If they lacked sufficient synergy and trust in the match just now, they definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat Lila and the Wind Proud Bird."
"Indeed."
Fu Jian chimed in: "Contestant Qiao Sang still believed Little Thunder Dragon could execute Dragon Tail at the crucial final moment, and Little Thunder Dragon didn't let Contestant Qiao Sang's trust down either, successfully executing it. Had Contestant Qiao Sang hesitated for even a second, Little Thunder Dragon wouldn't have stood back up so quickly, and the match result would've been drastically different."
"Tie tie."
Tie Daoyi let out a call.
A synchronous translation transmitted into Fu Jian and Fyodor's earpieces.
"Tie Daoyi makes a good point."
Fu Jian said after listening: "If Contestant Qiao Sang and Little Thunder Dragon are a positive role model in battle, and precisely what we hope to see most in the Contract Synergy Tournament, then Contestant Lila and the Wind Proud Bird are a negative example. Despite having the strength to win, their lack of sufficient synergy and trust ultimately led to defeat."
Fyodor cooperated: "We hope the audience at the venue and in front of their TV screens will take warning from this."

Simultaneously.
In the valley covered in green grass and fresh flowers.
The giant virtual screen played a close-up of Qiao Sang and Tingbao.
The next second, the camera shifted, focusing on the host.
The Dragon King nodded at the smaller Moda Wyvern below.
Receiving the signal, the Moda Wyvern operated the device before it.
The giant virtual screen vanished into thin air in midair.
"Mo mo?"
The Dragon King issued a call with an imposing expression.
Everyone has seen it now. How about it? Is there anyone who wants to form a contract?
The higher-ranked Moda Ao Dragons, Moda Overseer Dragons, Moda Dragons, and Moda Wyverns looked at one another in silence.
In their eyes, this human's command was indeed spot-on, capable of enabling a weaker pet to jump ranks and challenge successfully. However, that wasn't what mattered most, plenty of genius Beast Tamers could accomplish this while their pets were at lower ranks.
What mattered most was that she would have the chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future.
Yet they also knew clearly that extraordinarily talented professional Beast Tamers would not form contracts with high-rank pets.
On the other hand, the Little Moda Dragons and Moda Power Dragons displayed excited expressions, calling out in competition with one another: "Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
In an instant, the calls of the Little Moda Dragons and Moda Power Dragons echoed across the entire valley.
Looking down at the scene below, the Dragon King put on a satisfied expression, issuing a call in an authoritative tone: "Mo mo."
The Little Moda Dragons and Moda Power Dragons quieted down in an instant.
"Mo mo." the Dragon King called out.
I have seen your desires, but there is only one contract spot available. I will only bring the few most exceptional little ones in our clan over.
The Little Moda Dragons and Moda Power Dragons looked at one another.
"Mo mo!" The Dragon King raised its voice in a loud call.
Therefore, let's have a battle!
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
The moment those words were uttered, the entire Little Moda Dragon clan erupted in excitement, including the Moda Ao Dragons, Moda Overseer Dragons, Moda Dragons, and Moda Wyverns who had remained silent earlier.

Exiting the tournament venue and avoiding interviews from several reporters, Qiao Sang sat on Yabao's back and flew high into the sky.
Leaning against Lubao, Tingbao wore a comfortable expression.
Mikayla levitated close by.
Qiao Sang spoke up: "Teacher, the pho-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Mikayla passed her phone over.
Qiao Sang immediately offered a compliment: "As expected of you, Teacher. I hadn't even finished speaking, and you already knew I wanted to borrow your phone to make a call."
Mikayla stated calmly: "Every single day as soon as we come out, the first thing you ask me for is the phone."
Qiao Sang put on an awkward expression, though she quickly reined it in, taking the phone and dialing her own number.
After two beeps, the call went through.
"Xun xun?"
Little Treasure's voice sounded through the speaker.
His voice differed from usual, sounding as though his mouth was stuffed full of food.
"Is Qingbao's match over?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure called out, indicating it was finished.
By now, his voice had restored to normal.
"Did Qingbao win?" Qiao Sang asked next.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure called out, indicating she won.
"Are you eating outside right now?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure admitted to it directly without hesitation.
As expected... Qiao Sang asked: "What about Qingbao then?"
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure called out, indicating Qingbao stayed behind at the tournament venue to watch the matches.
Qingbao actually stayed behind at the tournament venue all by herself... Qiao Sang marveled internally, instructing: "Go back to find her as soon as you finish eating outside."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure agreed readily.
After chatting briefly for a few more sentences, Qiao Sang hung up the phone.
Right as she hung up, an incoming call from Debt Collector Dragon rang in.
Qiao Sang handed the phone back.
Accepting it, Mikayla took a glance and silently tucked it into her pocket without choosing to answer.
"Teacher, I want to head over to the tournament venue." Qiao Sang said.
If Qingbao and Little Treasure were staying behind together to watch the matches, she wouldn't think much of it. But with Qingbao watching matches alone in an unfamiliar place, she felt it was necessary to go accompany her.
After all, Qingbao was still young, and to her, this was an alien planet where everything was unfamiliar.
"Alright."
Mikayla nodded slightly, calling out to the air beside her: "Spengami."
Spengami revealed himself.
Picking up her phone, Mikayla declined the incoming call from Debt Collector Dragon, pulled up the map navigation for Qingbao's match venue, and held it before Spengami.
Spengami glanced down, nodded slightly, and blue light gleamed in his eyes as he departed from the spot with Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the rest.
---
Simultaneously.
"Mo mo!"
Looking at the declined call, the Dragon King's nostrils flared with anger. Exerting a touch of force with its claw subconsciously, the phone held inside shattered into a heap of scrap metal in an instant.
The Dragon King's expression froze, after which it acted as if nothing had happened, tossing the scrap metal onto the ground. Turning its head, it called out to a smaller Moda Wyvern nearby: "Mo mo."
Help me go buy another phone.
"Mo mo." The Moda Wyvern nodded, flapped its wings, and flew toward the outside of the valley.
Looking down at the juniors battling below, the Dragon King displayed a satisfied expression.
Did Mikayla think that by declining calls he wouldn't be able to find her? Don't forget they shared a contract relationship! Once the little guys determined the strongest winner, it would go find her directly to give her a surprise.
---
On the other side.
"The number you have dialed is currently unavailable..."
It just called a moment ago, yet now it can't be reached... Setting down her phone, Mikayla's brows furrowed slightly as she pondered.
Could something have happened?
Probably not. The Dragon King was at the King-level after all, and even managed a clan...
Despite thinking so, Mikayla sensed the Dragon King's state in her mind domain. Seeing no abnormality whatsoever, she put her mind at ease, tucked away her phone, and flew toward the villa.
---
Hasman.
Quanman Stadium.
Munching on popcorn, Qingbao watched the matches on the field with a look of utter boredom.
A flower-like pet sitting beside her let out a friendly call: "Mi mi?"
Qingbao cast a glance at it, ignoring it completely.
Finding no interest, the flower pet stopped talking and turned back to watch the matches.
However, the very next second, as if sensing something, Qingbao suddenly passed the popcorn over, flashing a sweet smile as she called out: "Qing qing~"
How did her face change so quickly... The flower pet blanked out for a moment, extending its claw to grab a handful of popcorn.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind: "Qingbao."
"Qing qing!"
Qingbao turned her head, displaying a pleasantly surprised expression as she called out, holding her bucket of popcorn as she floated toward Qiao Sang's location.
"Mi mi..."
Looking at the human standing with Qingbao a short distance away, the flower pet stuffed the popcorn into its mouth in one gulp.
So it was this human's appearance that caused the sudden change of face...
---
7:00 PM.
The dining table.
Looking at Qingbao, Qiao Sang said with a face full of regret: "Tingbao's match tomorrow is still in the morning. If only your match times could be staggered, I could attend your match."
"Qing qing."
Qingbao called out sweetly, indicating it didn't matter. The sixth child's match required a Beast Tamer to attend, whereas she could participate in her tournament on her own.
Qiao Sang said with a face full of gratification: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Qing qing."
Shaking her head, Qingbao called out with a sensible look, indicating it wasn't hard work at all.
Tingbao, who had been buried in eating his energy pellets, couldn't help but raise his head to glance at Qingbao upon hearing the conversation.
He always felt this companion acted like two completely different individuals depending on whether their Beast Tamer was present or not.
At this moment, Little Treasure let out a loud burp.
"Qing qing."
Glancing at Little Treasure's round, bulging belly beside her, Qingbao called out to her Beast Tamer.
Actually, she knew the way now, so it didn't matter even if Little Treasure didn't accompany her. How about she go to the matches by herself in the future?
"Xun xun!"
Hearing this, Little Treasure grew anxious, hurriedly calling out to signal no way, he definitely had to accompany her.
Just as Qingbao put on a considerate facade, preparing to say a few more words...
Qiao Sang said in a serious tone: "How could you go alone? I can only rest easy if Little Treasure accompanies you."
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure nodded vigorously.
Qingbao: ...
"Mo mo!"
Suddenly, an authoritative roar resounded from the direction of the open-air training field.
Mikayla, who had been quietly eating her meal as background noise, abruptly turned her head, looking toward the open-air training field with a face full of astonishment.
The Dragon King? It came?!
A pet came in... Setting down her chopsticks, Qiao Sang stood up.
"Yap yap!"
Swallowing his energy pellet in one gulp, Yabao let out a bark to signal he'd go take a look, before teleporting and vanishing on the spot.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure's eyes lit up. Displaying a look of watching a show, he dived into a black hole that materialized before him.
Halting her action of eating energy pellets, Lubao looked toward the open-air training field with a vigilant expression.
Transforming into wind, Qingbao vanished from sight.
Gangbao flew silently to her Beast Tamer's side.
Swallowing the energy pellet in his mouth, Tingbao looked toward the open-air training field while wriggling his body to crawl outside.
"Teacher, I'll go take a look." Qiao Sang said, stepping forward to leave.
"Wait!" Mikayla shouted.
Qiao Sang turned to look at her.
"I'll go. You keep eating." Mikayla said, rising to her feet and walking briskly toward the open-air training field.
"Mei Mei."
Rarely displaying an excited expression, Spengami teleported and vanished on the spot.
How could I possibly still eat... Qiao Sang grumbled internally, walking toward the open-air training field as well.
Lubao and Gangbao followed close beside her.
Seeing everyone leave, Tingbao swallowed the energy pellet in his mouth, wriggled his body, and crawled outside.
---
The open-air training field.
"Yap yap..."
Yabao displayed a vigilant expression, locking eyes with the Dragon King, who was wearing a dark red Lightweight miniature bracelet and stood merely around one meter tall.
Even though the other party wasn't large in size, Yabao inexplicably felt a sense of pressure.
Without backing down, his expression grew increasingly vigilant as he let out a bark: "Yap yap?"
The Dragon King stared at Yabao for a moment, after which it put on a You're pretty good, kid expression, letting out a call: "Mo mo."
Yabao blanked out for a moment: "Yap yap?"
"Mo mo." The Dragon King nodded its head.
"Yap yap!"
Yabao relaxed, putting on a Why didn't you say so earlier expression.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure poked out from the black hole, sizing up the Dragon King with curiosity.
Revealing herself, Qingbao did the same.
"Peng Peng."
Materializing out of thin air, Spengami offered a greeting.
Just as the Dragon King prepared to speak, Mikayla walked over briskly, questioning with a headache written all over her face: "Why did you come here?"
Looking at her, the Dragon King offered no answer, merely letting out a cold snort.
Yabao, Little Treasure, and Qingbao stood together at an unknown point, watching the scene with curiosity and gossip written in their eyes.
Recalling that she hadn't replied to the Dragon King's messages this morning and had hung up its call, Mikayla felt inexplicably guilty, lowering her voice: "I called you back later, but it wouldn't go through."
The Dragon King let out another cold snort.
Taking off his ring, Little Treasure pulled out a handful of melon seeds and began cracking them.
"If you have something to say, let's talk outside." Mikayla said in a low voice.
Letting out a cold snort for the third time, the Dragon King ignored her completely, walking toward the direction of the living room.
It so happened that Qiao Sang walked out from the living room direction, locking eyes directly with the Dragon King.
It's over... Mikayla's heart went cold.
She had indeed thought about the Dragon King meeting Qiao Sang, but she had never imagined this day would arrive so quickly...
