Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372
Yaobao paused for a moment, thinking it over, and realized that Little Treasure Hunter made a lot of sense.
In past competitions, it was indeed ; since Yaobao was stronger than Little Treasure Hunter, the tougher opponents should obviously be left to him.
Little Treasure Hunter glanced at Big Brother Yaobao’s reaction, feeling pleased: I knew Big Brother Yaobao would be into this.
Qiao Sang listened to the conversation, her mouth twitching slightly, and said:
"Not necessarily, opponents are random, there’s always a chance of encountering strong opponents early on."
Yaobao got excited upon hearing this.
Little Treasure Hunter showed an expression of "No way..."
Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Hunter, and said earnestly:
"Now that Gangbao has the strength to take on three opponents in a row, if you want more opportunities to appear in major competitions in the future, you should be strong enough to handle both early and late-stage opponents."
Little Treasure Hunter was dumbfounded.
Is my Beast Tamer thinking I’m too weak?
Or is it that my little brother’s strength is about to surpass mine?
Little Treasure Hunter looked at Gangbao, who was concentrating on performing its Frightening Face, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged in its heart.
If I get surpassed by the fourth sibling, won’t I lose my only little brother in the future?
Worried, Little Treasure Hunter ended up spending half the night training instead of resting well.
Morning, September 8th.
The giant virtual screen in the mall was broadcasting the regional tournament live, attracting many viewers to stop and watch.
The number of viewers in the official live broadcast room for the regional tournament had already surged to tens of millions.
In various companies, some office workers were sneaking off to the bathroom, while others were secretly logging in to watch right at their desks.
On a workday, no less, 87% of the Zhongkong Region’s population was watching the regional tournament.
The audience seats at Yukong Beast Hall were densely packed, with not a seat left empty.
"Why can’t we sit together?" Ye Xiangting said as she looked toward the competitor area, trying to spot her daughter.
Unfortunately, there were too many people and the distance was too far; the feedback she received hadn’t enhanced her vision enough to make out every face in the distance.
"It should be for the live broadcast camera." Liu Yao said, "Contestants sitting together can be captured in one sweep."
"Can you see where Qiao Sang is?" Ye Xiangting asked.
Liu Yao glanced at the competitor area and said, "Third seat in the sixth row of the competitor area."
"You have such good eyesight." Ye Xiangting marveled, "You found her so quickly."
Liu Yao chuckled, "When your pet beasts evolve a few more times, you’ll be able to see as well."
Pet beasts evolving a few more times... Ye Xiangting was taken aback, then suddenly realized, as if awakening with newfound understanding.
Yes, her daughter was already a B-level Beastmaster, with a long lifespan, and resources no longer dependent on her pet shop earnings. She should train well too; otherwise, how much time will she have to accompany her daughter in the future...?
"Ladies and gentlemen! Viewers across the nation! Welcome to this year’s regional tournament!" The host’s voice rang out on the field.
Ye Xiangting’s thoughts abruptly stopped, and she looked toward the field.
"After a week of fierce competition, we now have a group of contestants who successfully advanced to the next round," the host announced loudly. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Today, we will have the competition for the top 216 advancing to the top 108 in the regional tournament."
"First, let’s welcome Master Luo Huan from the Beast Taming Alliance..."
In the competitor area.
During the host’s routine, Little Treasure Hunter was frantically drinking an Energy Recovery Potion.
The surrounding contestants occasionally glanced at Little Treasure Hunter.
As the biggest dark horse of this year’s regional tournament, even if they didn’t specifically search for information, a lot about Qiao Sang had already been exposed on trending searches.
So this is the Spectral-type Pet Beast known for Spatial Movement... The contestants’ eyes held scrutiny, but they didn’t underestimate Little Treasure Hunter’s small size or the lack of a Mini Shrinking Bracelet.
Professional Beast Tamers all knew that judging a pet beast by appearance was a mistake; smaller beasts often held advantages on the battlefield.
"Are you recovered now?" Qiao Sang asked.
Honestly, she hadn’t expected that one sentence from last night would make Little Treasure Hunter abstain from sneaking in phone and computer time, choosing instead to train.
Little Treasure Hunter swallowed the Energy Recovery Potion it was drinking and called out.
Recovery was complete, but drinking a bit more might increase energy levels inside—it was just that simple. They didn’t allow temporary energy-boosting potions, but nobody controlled the Energy Recovery Potion.
You’re quite the optimist; are you so sure I’ll send you into the competition?
Qiao Sang ultimately didn’t burst Little Treasure Hunter’s bubble and left her inner thoughts unvoiced.
At this moment, a contestant sitting nearby, looking to be in his twenties, hesitated for a long time before finally leaning over and speaking up:
"Rumor online says you’ve contracted with Qing Qingni, is that true?"
"Yes, it’s true." Qiao Sang nodded.
To her, the contract with Qingbao wasn’t a secret. Previously, she kept it quiet for peace, but having joined a regional tournament, being discreet was no longer an option.
Moreover, if Qingbao managed to evolve during the tournament, she planned to let it compete.
Before asking, this contestant had already anticipated the answer and quickly said, "I’m Rong Yuhua. Could we exchange contact information?"
Qiao Sang looked at him.
"I don’t mean anything else," Rong Yuhua hurriedly added, "I just hope to have a chance to see Qing Qingni in your social circle in the future."
Seeing his earnest expression, Qiao Sang took out her phone and exchanged contact information with him.
A few minutes later, the host spoke into the microphone:
"Now, we will proceed with the group selection. Let’s welcome the referee from the Beast Tamer Notary!"
