Matched with Moda Ao Dragon... Qiao Sang turned her head, looking toward Moda Ao Dragon in the back row seat.
Moda Ao Dragon had a rigid expression at this moment. Sensing her gaze, it looked over with its body tense, letting out an overtly bravado cry: "Mo mo."
It meant: I won't pull any punches against you.
To be honest, losing to a Class-B Beast Tamer with a Fairy-type pet beast was really nothing to be ashamed of. After all, setting aside a Class-B Beast Tamer's stat boosts and tactical control over the match, a Fairy-type pet beast at the same stage inherently hard-countered it.
Moda Ao Dragon still remembered when it was small, watching a senior unleash a Dragon Pulse that had once destroyed a mountain. It hit a Fairy-type pet beast only about a meter tall head-on, yet that Fairy-type pet beast didn't even use a defensive skill, and literally not a single strand of hair was lost.
From then on, it knew that it shouldn't casually fight with Fairy-type pet beasts.
Unless it possessed non-Dragon-type skills or completely crushed the opponent in level, the result would definitely be making a fool of itself.
But right now, the human battling it with a Fairy-type pet beast was Qiao Sang.
Just thinking about how the leader looked down on it yesterday, feeling that it wouldn't be contracted at all and despising it for taking up a slot, Moda Ao Dragon felt that it absolutely had to win this match!
"Qing qing."
Qiao Sang couldn't understand Moda Ao Dragon's words, but Qingbao could. She looked over and let out a cry, indicating that she wouldn't pull her punches either.
"Mo mo."
Thinking of its typing, Moda Ao Dragon's body stiffened, but it still bit the bullet, cold-snorted, and gestured for Qingbao to bring it on.
Dragon King watched from the side, fairly satisfied.
In its eyes, even though its junior's typing was countered, its momentum could never be lost. Furthermore, if Moda Ao Dragon could reverse the type disadvantage and win, it would allow Qiao Sang to clearly see the strength of their race.
Thinking up to this point, Dragon King patted Moda Ao Dragon's shoulder and called out: "Mo mo."
Moda Ao Dragon was flattered. It hadn't expected that the leader, who held contempt for it taking up a slot yesterday, would actually think highly of it today. Immediately, something crossed its mind, a flame of hope igniting in its eyes as it cried out:
If I win, you have to let me go back.
Dragon King pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Mo mo."
If it could really win, that would be a great achievement, so letting it go back wasn't out of the question, at worst, it could just send it away again in a few days.
"Mo mo!"
Instantly, Moda Ao Dragon was filled with fighting spirit, completely different from its previous stiff state upon learning its opponent's identity.
Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze, faintly harboring expectations for the upcoming match.
Among pet beast typings, the ones with the most severe type counters were undoubtedly Ghost vs. Fighting, and Fairy vs. Dragon.
Because with other type counters, attacks still had more or less some effect. However, close-range Fighting-type attacks were completely ineffective against Ghost-types, and Dragon-type Special Attacks were similarly ineffective against Fairy-types.
Qingbao had never formally battled a Dragon-type pet beast of the same level, and she was quite curious to see to what extent the type advantage would play out.
"Qing qing..."
Qingbao likewise retracted her gaze and took a deep breath, trying to calm down the somewhat violent emotions inside.
Be calm, don't let it affect the upcoming match.
The stench is gone, the stench is already gone...
"Yap yap!"
At this moment, Yabao called out from the side, indicating: Don't be nervous, I'll cheer for you.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure raised his paws, indicating he would help cheer as well.
"Qing qing." Qingbao was taken aback, displaying a moved expression.
Hearing the conversation, Qiao Sang felt a sudden pang in her heart and turned to Yabao, saying: "Just cheer in your heart."
"Yap yap."
Yabao didn't understand why, but still nodded.
Time ticked by, and the tournament proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Under the blazing sun near noon, a virtual screen appeared out of thin air over the arena, displaying photos of Qiao Sang and Moda Ao Dragon.
The host said in a loud voice: "The next pair of contestants are Contestant Qiao Sang and Contestant Moda Ao Dragon!"
As her words fell, Moda Ao Dragon flapped its wings and transformed from the contestant area into a beam of white light, appearing on the arena.
At the same time, Qiao Sang appeared on the field out of thin air.
Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
As the only Class-B Beast Tamer in the competition, and with the only Dragon-type pet beast, both undoubtedly possessed overwhelmingly high popularity.
Qiao Sang's supporters were thrilled, while Moda Ao Dragon's supporters felt a bit of pity after their initial excitement.
"Pity for Moda Ao Dragon, meeting Contestant Qiao Sang so soon."
"If the pet beast Qiao Sang sent out wasn't Qinyin Fairy, I might think Moda Ao Dragon still had a chance of winning, but if it's Qinyin Fairy, it really has no hope."
"I remember Moda Ao Dragon still has close-range physical attacks, right? Dragon Tail and Dragon Claw should both be usable."
"Don't forget that Qinyin Fairy also has the Wind Transformation trait."
"And Qinyin Fairy's Beast Tamer is a Class-B... I can't see even a sliver of hope for Moda Ao Dragon to win..."
While everyone was discussing, a pet beast wearing a referee badge appeared out of thin air on the field and waved a green flag in Qiao Sang's direction.
Qiao Sang formed hand seals with both hands.
A dazzling crimson star array lit up on the ground.
Soon, Qingbao's figure appeared inside the star array.
Moda Ao Dragon exerted force in all four limbs, adopting a battle-ready stance.
"Qu!"
The pet beast wearing the referee badge blew the whistle signaling the start of the match, then vanished.
"Yap!"
In the contestant area, Yabao subconsciously started waving his cheering stick, but immediately remembered his Beast Tamer's words, forcefully shutting his mouth and putting down the cheering stick.
On the field.
Qingbao turned into wind and vanished from the spot.
Flapping its wings, Moda Ao Dragon likewise left the spot, flying high into the sky.
"Mo mo!"
At the same time, it opened its mouth and emitted an extremely ear-piercing sound.
Invisible soundwaves rapidly rippled outward across the field.
I didn't expect Moda Ao Dragon to have Hyper Voice... Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised internally.
This was a skill Moda Ao Dragon had never used in previous matches.
In the guest area.
"Moda Ao Dragon used Hyper Voice!"
The host reported the situation on the field in a rapid tone: "Sound-based attacks like this can bypass Substitutes as well as pet beasts with the Wind Transformation trait. As long as they are within attack range, it can hit them all!"
Leonard remarked with emotion: "Moda Ao Dragon is battling with its brain."
"Weiku." Pseudo-Crying Ghost called out, indicating that Qinyin Fairy was about to come out.
Following its words, on the field, Qingbao revealed herself with a pained expression about ten meters behind Moda Ao Dragon.
Moda Ao Dragon's ears twitched and it abruptly turned around, silver-white light condensing on its claws, instantly forming a silver-white Dragon Claw about three meters large.
Moving its wings, it rapidly flew toward Qingbao's direction while fiercely slashing its claws forward.
Dragon-type skills being ineffective against Fairy-type pet beasts referred to Special Attacks condensed from Dragon-type energy. Dragon-type physical attack moves like Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, or Dragon Rush could still deal a certain amount of damage to Fairy-type pet beasts.
At the same time, an intense aura of pressure erupted from Moda Ao Dragon, surging toward Qingbao like overwhelming waves.
Qingbao's expression remained pained, unchanged by the Aura of Intimidation.
"Qingbao." Qiao Sang called out.
Her Beast Tamer's voice reached her ears, and Qingbao's eyes instantly cleared up a bit. Just as the silver-white sharp claw was about to slash across her body, she turned into wind and vanished from the spot.
The Dragon Claw struck empty air.
"Mo mo..."
Looking at the spot where Qingbao had originally been, an instant of disbelief surfaced in Moda Ao Dragon's eyes.
First, it used Hyper Voice to force out the opponent's location and put her into brain-racking pain, then took advantage of the opening to launch a close-range physical attack. To ensure the attack would definitely hit, it had even specially unleashed Aura of Intimidation.
Yet it never imagined in its wildest dreams that under the dual assault of Hyper Voice and Aura of Intimidation, the opponent could still react this quickly and dodge the attack!
Why? It was as if the Aura of Intimidation afterward had no effect on her at all!
Moda Ao Dragon suddenly recalled the scene from earlier where Qinyin Fairy had used Aura of Intimidation to shatter an opponent's clone.
It almost forgot, Qinyin Fairy had Aura of Intimidation, too...
Could it be that her Aura of Intimidation was stronger than its own, which was why she was completely unaffected?
No way...
All kinds of wild thoughts flashed through Moda Ao Dragon's mind.
Suddenly, it felt a strange wind appearing above.
Pulling its thoughts together, Moda Ao Dragon abruptly looked up.
At the exact same time, Qingbao revealed herself above, dazzling seven-colored light erupting from her body, enveloping Moda Ao Dragon below, who happened to be looking up at her.
"Mo mo!"
Moda Ao Dragon let out a tragic scream and fell toward the ground.
Wild winds were raging around Qingbao at this moment. Yesterday's full day of Stench Gas tolerance training, combined with the headache induced by Hyper Voice just now, made her completely unable to suppress her emotions any longer.
Qingbao looked at Moda Ao Dragon below with extreme irritation. Opening her mouth, a pink gale filled with Fairy energy surged out from her mouth, striking toward Moda Ao Dragon.
"Mo mo!"
Moda Ao Dragon screamed tragically once again.
Although the proficiency of Fairy Wind wasn't particularly high, Fairy-type skills were extremely effective against Dragon-type pet beasts, dealing double damage.
BANG!
With a loud bang, the ground fractured, and Moda Ao Dragon crashed heavily onto the surface.
"Mo mo..."
Moda Ao Dragon supported itself against the ground with its claws, struggling to stand up.
The data saying Moda Ao Dragon has high defense really wasn't a lie. Under a double-damage Fairy-type skill, it can actually stand up this quickly... Qiao Sang marveled internally.
As her thoughts flickered, Qingbao, surrounded by raging winds, opened her mouth and once again breathed out a pink gale imbued with Fairy energy toward the ground.
Can't dodge... Moda Ao Dragon's pupils shrank slightly. Subconsciously opening its mouth upward, it instantly spat out a thick silver-white beam of light.
Staring below, a thought flashed through Qingbao's mind, the pink gale abruptly shifted direction, dodging the collision with the silver-white beam and hitting Moda Ao Dragon head-on.
At the same time, she made no effort to dodge at all, allowing the silver-white beam of light to blast directly against her body.
"Mo mo!"
Moda Ao Dragon let out a tragic scream.
When the shockwaves on both sides dissipated, Moda Ao Dragon was seen lying on the ground with its eyes closed, passed out cold, while Qingbao remained high in the sky, completely unharmed without moving even an inch from her position.
Dragon-type Special Attack skills really do nothing at all against Fairy-type pet beasts. Looks like whenever I face Dragon-type pet beasts in the future, sending Qingbao out to battle is definitely the best choice... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
The pet beast wearing the referee badge appeared out of thin air beside Moda Ao Dragon to inspect it, then raised the green flag and waved it toward Qiao Sang.
In the contestant area, Dragon King didn't show a look of disappointment. Instead, it stared at Qingbao while frowning, wearing a puzzled expression as if something was troubling it.
In the audience, people looked at one another before breaking out into intense discussions: "Did you guys see that just now?"
"Are you talking about how Fairy Wind suddenly changed direction?"
"Yeah, even if Fairy Wind's proficiency is high, can its direction still be changed after it's released?"
"Not sure, this is honestly my first time seeing it."
"Me too, I've never heard of or seen this before."
"I really want to know how Qinyin Fairy did it!"
Everyone had watched plenty of battles, they were well-accustomed to Fairy-type pet beasts being completely immune to Dragon-type Special Attacks and weren't surprised by the outcome at all. However, Fairy Wind suddenly changing direction mid-attack was genuinely something they were seeing for the very first time.
For a moment, the crowd couldn't help but discuss this phenomenon fiercely.
In the guest area.
"First of all, let us congratulate Contestant Qiao Sang on successfully winning the match and advancing to the next round!"
After speaking, the host turned and asked: "Mr. Leonard, what are your thoughts on Fairy Wind suddenly changing direction?"
Leonard pondered seriously for a moment and said: "I've never seen a situation like this before. However, if there were another powerful current of wind, it might be possible to alter Fairy Wind's trajectory. But in that scenario, the wind would likely scatter Fairy Wind directly, making it nearly impossible to hit Moda Ao Dragon successfully after changing direction."
Pausing briefly, he added: "I think if we want to know what happened, we'll still have to ask Contestant Qiao Sang."
The host turned to look at Pseudo-Crying Ghost.
"Weiku."
Before she could speak, Pseudo-Crying Ghost waved its paws and called out, indicating that this was its first time seeing such a situation as well, so it didn't know what was going on.

In the contestant area.
"Mo mo?"
Dragon King pondered for a long time without understanding. Finally remembering that it still had a Beast Tamer, it couldn't help but turn around and call out to Mikayla, asking what was up with Fairy Wind.
You only remember me when you need something... Mikayla complained inwardly, then replied: "That's because Qinyin Fairy can naturally control wind. Forget wind skills she casts herself, even if it's a wind skill cast by an opponent, changing its direction is well within her ability."
"Mo mo?"
Dragon King's eyes widened in sheer shock.
Naturally control wind? That little squirt is that incredible?
It had never seen a pet beast that could naturally control wind before.
If you knew Qinyin Fairy's true identity, you wouldn't be so confident that the Little Moda Dragons would definitely get contracted... Mikayla glanced at it and said in a calm tone: "Qinyin Fairy is a legendary pet beast. Having a few special abilities is completely normal."
Dragon King: ???
L-L-Legendary pet beast? Dragon King looked at Mikayla with a completely dazed expression.
Mikayla continued: "She's a legendary pet beast from Blue Star's Dragon Country. Keep a low profile and don't let other humans or pet beasts know."
Dragon King: !!!
