Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354
Although Yaobao has recently evolved to King Level, it doesn’t guarantee a hundred percent victory in a duel. Being so certain that her daughter will win, could it be putting too much pressure on her?
In her view, it’s already excellent that her daughter is qualified to participate in the regional tournament at her age. Winning isn’t that important.
Just as Ye Xiangting was preparing to organize her words to tell her daughter not to stress too much, a staff member came over and said:
"Please, participants of the first ten groups, follow me backstage to prepare."
The listed contestants stood up one after another.
Qiao Sang stood up and said:
"Mom, Vice Principal, I’m heading out now."
With these words, the players and their families seated around looked over, assessing with surprised gazes.
Previously, they had been focused on their own team setups, not paying attention to others. Only now did they realize there was an entrant this year who looked barely like a minor.
The short-haired man encountered at the contestant passageway was especially stunned for a moment, with only one thought in his mind:
Among the three of them, is this girl seriously the competitor?!
"Go ahead." Liu Yao nodded.
Ye Xiangting felt many words in her heart but ultimately only said two: "Good luck!"
Qiao Sang gave a heavy "Mm" and turned to leave with the staff, heading towards the backstage passage.
The contestant backstage area was exceptionally spacious and well-insulated, almost no outside noise could be heard.
A huge virtual screen covering almost half the wall was live-streaming the external scenes.
Some contestants were conversing, while others quietly stayed alone, presenting a demeanor of "stay away from strangers."
Soon, two contestants followed the staff in different directions.
On the virtual screen, two people sat in front of the commentary desk.
A man in formal attire with handsome features said: "Hello, everyone, I’m the commentator for this event, Tian Yiwang."
"I’m the commentator, Tang Xueran." The woman next to him with long chestnut hair and a capable look smiled.
"This year’s regional tournament will be fully commentated by us." Tian Yiwang looked at the list and smiled: "The first group to take the stage is Tang Chao and Wang Yike. For Tang Chao, this is his third time participating in the regional tournament. He’s a familiar face, and last time, if I remember correctly, he stopped at the second round."
"That’s right. I wonder if he’ll progress to a higher rank this year." Tang Xueran cooperated by saying.
Tian Yiwang continued:
"Wang Yike is an unfamiliar name. It’s the first time participating in the regional tournament this year. He’s quite young, only 27 years old."
Tang Xueran laughed and said: "For Beast Tamers attending the regional tournament for the first time, I hold high expectations, hoping they bring us unique surprises."
At this moment, the camera zoomed out to show the stage.
Suddenly, the ground on both sides of the stage automatically opened to about two meters.
Tian Yiwang looked toward the stage and said: "Here they come." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
His words had just fallen when two identical blue bird-like Pet Beasts about two meters in size shot out from underground, swiftly ascending into the sky, stopping at a height of about ten meters, hovering steadily in midair.
Standing on top were two figures.
Precisely Tang Chao and Wang Yike.
Regional tournaments in the Zhongkong Region are so distinctive; even the entrance requires Flying Pet Beasts... Moreover, commanding from a Flying Pet Beast is quite advantageous since their large size allows for a better view from high above... Qiao Sang stared at the appearance on the giant virtual screen, with a chain of thoughts flashing through her mind.
Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby:
"Hello, I’m Lv Fengba."
Qiao Sang turned to see her opponent and replied: "Hello, Qiao Sang."
"I know." Lv Fengba smiled and said: "We’ll be opponents shortly, by the way, you look really young, mind telling how old you are?"
Before the match, after knowing their opponent, many people try to gather information about them.
Qiao Sang thought about it; age didn’t seem like particularly significant information, so she honestly said:
Lv Fengba paused for a moment and burst out laughing: "You’re really humorous."
How am I humorous? Qiao Sang didn’t understand.
Seeing the opponent didn’t disclose her actual age, Lv Fengba felt bored and showed a social smile, saying: "See you at the match."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Qiao Sang turned back to continue watching the virtual screen.
Time ticked by, and the matches were hapi moving forward vigorously.
When the fourth group of contestants stepped down, Tian Yiwang spoke: "The next group of contestants is Lv Fengba and Qiao Sang."
When pronouncing these contestants’ names, his tone was evidently more excited than before, and his speaking speed increased significantly:
"Lv Fengba is another familiar face, this being his third time participating in the regional tournament. The first time, he stopped at the preliminaries, but the second time, he made it into the top 100. This time, his strength should be even greater."
"And the other contestant, Qiao Sang, is attending the regional tournament for the first time. She isn’t from our Zhongkong Region, yet she registered her first regional tournament participation with us."
As regional tournament commentators, they receive detailed profiles of the contestants before the games, so they don’t need to review these materials further and can readily discuss the information about the contestants.
"Qiao Sang is one of the most anticipated contestants of this year’s regional tournament." Tang Xueran continued: "She is the youngest contestant in the history of our Zhongkong Region, aged 17."
Upon this remark, the whole audience buzzed, with faces showing astonishment and disbelief.
She successfully registered for the regional tournament at just 17?
Doesn’t that mean she became a C-level Beast Tamer at 17?!
Listening to the relevant introduction, Ye Xiangting stood tall, her face showing pride.
"That’s not all." Tian Yiwang took a deep breath and stated word by word: "She’s also a B-level Beast Tamer!"
The entire stadium instantly fell silent.
Though it’s a venue that accommodates up to 172,000 spectators, at that moment, it was as quiet as could be.
Only Liu Yao maintained the same expression as before.
He had already received this unbelievable news days ago.
As he looked at the bewildered faces around him, he felt balanced within.
"They are entering the stage." Tang Xueran mentioned.
With her words falling, two blue bird-like Pet Beasts launched straight up from underground.
