All the whirlwinds quickly concentrated their attack back toward Combat Owl.

"Combat!"

Combat Owl let out a screech. Having no time to dodge at all, it was swallowed up by the surrounding whirlwinds, thrown high into the sky, and subjected to the chaotic, tearing forces within.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the whirlwinds dissipated.

With a loud boom, Combat Owl crashed heavily onto the ground, eyes closed and already passed out.

H-How could this be... Dasha stood in a daze, still in shock from the sight of the whirlwinds suddenly ganging up on Combat Owl just moments ago.

"Qing qing."

Qingbao revealed herself beside Combat Owl. After leaning in to take a close look, she showed a satisfied expression.

She found this match deeply comforting and refreshing to play.

The pet beast wearing the referee license appeared out of thin air. After observing Combat Owl for a couple of moments, it waved its green flag toward Qiao Sang's location.

"Qing qing."

Qingbao turned into wind and floated over to her Beast Tamer's side.

After a brief second of quiet on the field, the host spoke up: "Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang on securing victory in this match and becoming the first contestant to advance to the top 4!"

"Xun xun! Xun xun!"

"Yap! Yap!"

Little Treasure and Yabao held cheer sticks in the contestant area, jumping with joy.

The silence was instantly shattered as a wave-like clamor erupted from the audience.

"Holy crap! How did it do that? Qinyin Fairy can control the whirlwinds that Combat Owl unleashed itself?!"

"Super awesome! When I saw Fairy Wind change direction yesterday, I didn't feel much, but now I realize how broken this ability actually is..."

"This is definitely NOT the Wind Control I know about!"

"The gap between a C-rank Beast Tamer and a B-rank Beast Tamer really is massive. I thought since they both sent out pet beasts of the same tier, they could at least fight for a while, but I didn't expect Combat Owl to get straight-up one-shot."

"No, is this really an issue of C-rank versus B-rank Beast Tamer? This is entirely an issue with Qinyin Fairy! How on earth did it control the whirlwinds unleashed by Combat Owl?!"

"Didn't someone say that when the level of the Wind Transformation trait reaches a certain point, it can control wind? Qinyin Fairy must be like that."

"Bullshit! Controlling wind means controlling the wind you unleash yourself! Where's the logic in controlling the wind unleashed by an opponent? If it can control any wind-type skill unleashed by anyone, wouldn't Qinyin Fairy be invincible among Flying-type pet beasts?!"

"Then how do you explain Qinyin Fairy controlling Combat Owl's whirlwinds just now?"

"..."

In the guest area.

The host took a deep breath, turned around, and asked in a rather excited tone: "In the match just now, Qinyin Fairy defeated Combat Owl using the very whirlwinds it unleashed. Regarding Qinyin Fairy redirecting so many whirlwinds, I wonder what Mr. Leonard makes of it?"

Leonard likewise took a deep breath and muttered: "I don't know. This is my first time seeing such an ability. I've seen high-level Psychic-type pet beasts crumble a whirlwind with a single Telekinesis, and I've seen Psychic-type pet beasts briefly alter a whirlwind's direction with Telekinesis, but Qinyin Fairy is clearly not like that. It's not Psychic-type, nor does its level overpower Combat Owl's."

"Yet it truly controlled those whirlwinds, and more than just one. It's almost like a ruler of wind."

"Weiku."

Pseudo-Crying Ghost put on a serious expression and called out.

The translation came through synchronized into the headsets of the host and Leonard.

Leonard pondered:

"The Wind Control you mentioned is something I also looked up yesterday. Pet beasts with this ability are far too rare; it seems the Wind Transformation trait level needs to reach B-rank for a pet beast to possibly possess this ability. But one thing I'm certain of is that even if a pet beast's Wind Transformation trait were at B-rank, it could absolutely never do what Qinyin Fairy just did."

The host asked: "Then if the Wind Transformation trait level reached S-rank, could it achieve what Qinyin Fairy did?"

Leonard said cautiously: "I haven't found any relevant information on this aspect at present. I think we would need experts in Fairy-types or traits to answer that."

At 11:30 AM.

Villa.

At the dining table, Qingbao had a massive increase in appetite compared to previous days. She ate in huge bites and quickly finished a plate of energy pills, then pushed the empty plate toward Little Treasure.

Little Treasure's cheeks were stuffed full of energy pills. Chewing away, he took off his ring and poured Qingbao's exclusive energy pills from inside onto the empty plate.

To the side, Qiao Sang felt relieved that Qingbao's appetite had improved, while simultaneously worrying if she was eating too much.

After all, she had never had an appetite like this before, it was almost comparable to Yabao back in his senior stage.

Several Little Moda Dragons were happily eating tree fruits.

However, they soon felt a stare.

Looking up, they realized their leader was glaring at them.

The Little Moda Dragons whose brains hadn't reacted yet looked completely baffled, not knowing what they had done wrong.

Meanwhile, a Little Moda Dragon that had already reacted called out enthusiastically to Qiao Sang: "Mo mo."

Sure enough, Dragon King immediately cast a satisfied look toward it.

Tingbao looked at the Little Moda Dragon that spoke, snorting coldly in his heart while continuing to eat his energy pills on the surface.

He felt plenty of security right now and didn't think these Little Moda Dragons were his competitors at all.

"Xun xun..."

Little Treasure translated while stuffing energy pills into his mouth.

He said it promised to make breakfast for her again tomorrow.

After finishing, Little Treasure looked at his Beast Tamer, holding back a laugh.

Qiao Sang: ...

"No need to go through the trouble, I can just make it myself." Qiao Sang declined.

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon that spoke earlier called out again.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure covered his mouth and laughed for a bit before helping translate.

He said its cooking skills have already improved and will taste better than this morning's.

Look at me, do I look like I believe you... Qiao Sang declined once more: "Really, there's no need. But if you want to practice your cooking skills, you can let Teacher Mikayla give it a try."

Mikayla, who was quietly eating her meal: ???

The speaking Little Moda Dragon looked at Dragon King.

Dragon King remained silent and shook its head.

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon called out, then went back to eating its tree fruit.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure translated simultaneously.

He said then forget it.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang glanced at Teacher Mikayla.

Why are you looking at me like that... Unable to suppress the curiosity in her heart, Mikayla dropped a hint to Spengami beside her with a glance.

"Peng peng."

Spengami translated the words the Little Moda Dragon had just said.

It said if it's making breakfast for you, then forget it.

Mikayla: ???

She really wanted to ask what was wrong with making food for her, but feared that the Little Moda Dragon might actually make food for her then, so in the end she didn't ask after all.

During this meal, Qingbao ate with relish, while Mikayla ate with a rather complex taste in her mouth.

After finishing the meal and taking care of their hunger, Yabao and the others headed to the open-air training field.

Qingbao was the same.

She was in a good mood right now and didn't mind training.

Qingbao floated toward the direction of the open-air training field, gentle breezes swirling around her.

"Ding-dong~"

Right at that moment, the doorbell rang.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure teleported to the door and opened it.

"Mei mei."

Meitianhua stepped inside, nodded to Little Treasure, then looked at Qingbao, gave a faint smile, and called out to indicate it had arrived.

Qingbao's body suddenly stiffened, and the gentle breeze around her instantly turned into a wild gale.

She really still didn't like training...

At 8:00 PM.

Qiao Sang was meditating with her eyes closed in her room.

Little Treasure sat in front of the desk looking at the computer, searching for missions he could do.

Still need to earn 900 points, still need to earn 900 points...

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang opened her eyes, picked up the phone, and found a message sent by Expert Lin: [I've managed to apply for the SS-grade Fairy Tear! (Smile) (Smile) (Smile)]

Qiao Sang's mood immediately surged with excitement, and she typed rapidly: [That fast?!]

The other side replied in seconds: [To be able to get it this fast, it's actually thanks to you.]

Qiao Sang froze for a moment, typing back: [Thanks to me?]

[Expert Lin: Even if someone contracts a legendary pet beast, these resources are actually difficult to apply for. However, you won the Central Hollow Region Tournament not long ago and attracted attention from higher-ups. They know your age and talent, so the difficulty of approving the application became much easier.]

It feels like the Central Hollow Region Tournament was so long ago, was it really only recently...? I didn't expect winning a championship to have this kind of benefit... Qiao Sang felt deeply emotional for a moment and didn't reply right away.

The other end sent another message: [I've just dispatched the SS-grade Fairy Tear. You should be able to receive it in about a month and a half.]

Qiao Sang rapidly sent back an emoji bowing at 180 degrees.

After chatting casually for a bit, Qiao Sang put down her phone in a great mood. Looking up, her eyes happened to meet Little Treasure's.

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure hurriedly called out, indicating that time wasn't up yet, he still had six minutes!

In the evening, Qiao Sang had a rule that Little Treasure's time spent searching for missions couldn't exceed half an hour.

Qiao Sang, currently in a good mood, smiled and said: "I'll give you ten more minutes."

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure froze first, then erupted into cheers.

The next day.

At 9:00 AM.

Hasman.

Quanman Arena.

At this moment, as far as the eye could see, the entire arena was completely packed with people and pet beasts, a sea of black heads and pet beast heads everywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the venue of the Ultimate High-level Beast Championship!" 

The host spoke loudly into the microphone: "After several rounds of fierce competition, the top 4 contestants have been decided!"

"Today, here at Quanman Arena, we will continuously hold the semifinals as well as the finals, directly deciding the champion of this year's Ultimate High-level Beast Championship!"

"Please take a look at the schedule!"

Following the host's words, a giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air, displaying the match times for the semifinals and finals.

Qiao Sang took a look.

Two matches in the morning, where the four contestants would be paired two by two for the semifinals.

In the afternoon, the eliminated contestants would compete to decide third place.

At 7:30 PM, the two winning contestants from the morning would hold the finals.

The timing schedule is pretty reasonable... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Battles between high-level beasts didn't take too long. Even if they got injured, with this rest time and a medical team present, they could recover completely very quickly without affecting the afternoon and evening matches.

As thoughts flickered in her mind, the host spoke up: "Everyone already knows the match times and schedule. Now, let the system begin grouping everyone!"

As soon as the words fell, the giant virtual screen switched to four photos.

The photos shuffled and scrambled, finally locking into place under an exciting background track.

The music faded.

Qiao Sang saw her matchup: [Qiao Sang VS Vadim]

Vadim, 20 years old, an F-rank Beast Tamer who only possessed one senior pet beast, Moisture Sloth. It wasn't that he couldn't pass the E-rank Beast Tamer assessment with his strength, but rather that his brain domain couldn't undergo a second awakening, making him unable to contract a second pet beast and failing to meet the registration requirements for the E-rank Beast Tamer assessment.

It was said that Moisture Sloth's energy and physical condition had already reached the criteria for evolving into a General-tier, but Vadim wanted Moisture Sloth to undergo a perfect evolution, which was why he had consistently held back its evolution.

All of the above was information Qiao Sang only found out when she inadvertently overheard voices from the audience while in the contestant area, combined with the host's introduction when Vadim took the stage.

She hadn't encountered an F-rank opponent in a long time, which made the impression somewhat deeper.

"Don't be careless later." Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts and said.

In a tournament like this where only one pet beast could be summoned and it had to be of the same tier, a Beast Tamer's rank wasn't actually that crucial.

Having only one pet beast meant the opponent would pour all their energy into this single pet beast, otherwise, it would be impossible for an F-rank Beast Tamer to carve a path through a sea of senior pet beasts and reach the top 4.

Qingbao's battle experience wasn't particularly rich, and Qiao Sang didn't want any mishaps in the match due to underestimating her opponent.

"Qing qing."

Qingbao nodded obediently.

Gentle breezes surrounded her.

Although she had undergone a long period of grueling training yesterday, the trip to the mediation room last night had restored her mood well, and she had gotten a good night's sleep, so her mood today was fairly good.

The matches quickly began on the field, with Qiao Sang in the second group.

The battles proceeded intensely. After roughly fifteen minutes or so, the winner of the first group's match was decided.

After the guests in the guest area finished commenting on the previous match, the host spoke up: "Next, let us invite the contestants of the second group!"

Little Treasure was already prepared, blue light glowing in his eyes.

In the next second, Qiao Sang appeared out of thin air on the field.

The entire venue cheered.

Amidst the sea of voices cheering for Qiao Sang and Qinyin Fairy, Vadim walked onto the field.

He didn't rely on a pet beast's help and had no fancy entrance, walking up entirely on his own feet, appearing exceedingly simple and unpretentious among all the varied, flashy entrances.

The audience's cheers quieted down, with quite a few people looking at him with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Vadim was undoubtedly an inspirational model of hard work, reaching the top 4 in this kind of battle competition without Beast Taming talent, yet he had run into a top-tier B-rank Beast Tamer. One didn't even need to use their brain to know the outcome of this match.

On the field.

Looking at the girl in the distance who appeared younger than himself, Vadim took a deep breath, his nerves taut as he put on a serious expression.

Before long, the pet beast wearing the referee license appeared out of thin air on the field, waving a green flag toward the center.

Qiao Sang and Vadim formed hand seals at the same time.

A dazzling red star array and a white star array lit up on opposite sides of the field.

The figures of pet beasts quickly appeared within both star arrays.

"Qing qing."

"Qi qi..."
