Chapter 35: Chapter 32 Sorry
In the stands, the closest row to the field, the other eight candidates sat side by side.
One of them, a boy with delicate features asked, “Who do you think will win?”
“The girl, her pet beast is a Fire-Toothed Dog.” Zheng Yining joined the conversation.
She had observed them up close when she was trying to cozy up just now, and the Fire-Toothed Dog seemed pretty harmonious with the girl, not at all like the sort of problem a newbie Beast Tamer would face when contracting with a fire attribute beast, like they found themselves an ancestor.
Commanding the Fire-Toothed Dog in battle shouldn’t be a problem, she thought.
“That’s not necessarily true, do you know who that Lu Liangye is?” Li Yang also joined the discussion.
“Show-off king.”
“The idiot in the group who said that the expert always arrives last.”
Li Yang: “…”
“He had his power awakening last September, Hangkang City News reported on him, if he didn’t just finish his middle school exams, he would probably be a first-year student at Litian Royal Beast High School right now,” explained Li Yang.
“Then why has he fallen to the point of taking part in Shengshui Middle School’s special recruitment exam?” the delicate-looking boy was shocked.
It wasn’t that he was looking down on Shengshui Middle School, but Litian Royal Beast High School was the only school in Zhehai Province that outshone it.
After all, with the first place right in front of one’s eyes, who would normally choose second.
Besides, even if they chose Shengshui Middle School, they should have been admitted through sponsorship, right? Why attend a special recruitment exam? Doesn’t this mean that one of the five vacancies is definitely his?!
“I don’t know,” Li Yang answered.
Who knows what Lu Liangye, the show-off, was thinking.
Zheng Yining listened to the conversation and felt some sympathy for the girl on the field.
Even with a Fire-Toothed Dog, her opponent was the most likely to come first in the competition, meeting him in the first round was just unlucky.
On the field, Qiao Sang took out dark green triangle sunglasses from her backpack and put them on the Fire-Toothed Dog.
This was the Fire-Toothed Dog’s favorite color and style.
After so many days of training, wasn’t it all for today’s exam? In such an important duel, of course, she should go all out from the start and bring out her secret weapon.
“Fang!”
After the Fire-Toothed Dog put on the dark green triangle sunglasses, it raised its head, adopted a cool expression, and suddenly its aura changed dramatically.
“The battle rules are 1V1, send out your respective pet beasts and follow my command to fight; the one who falls or loses the ability to fight will lose the qualification to continue the battle,” said Sun Boyi.
This type of competition without a set order for who attacks first was currently a popular format, involving surprise attacks and seeing whether the Beast Tamers chose to wait and see or to strike first.
“Coming up against me in the first match, I can only say sorry in advance!” Lu Liangye said ‘sorry,’ but his expression and tone suggested otherwise.
Qiao Sang: “…”
This guy is so annoying.
Following his pre-match banter, a light blue pet beast appeared in the white Star Array.
Its mouth was yellow, a white collar encircled its neck, and it had pairs of pectoral fins and tail fins, front and back. Since it had no legs, it supported itself upright on the ground with its tail.
It was a Water-type Pet Beast, the Water Ring Bream.
“It’s actually the Water Ring Bream, that girl is doomed, not to mention strength, she’s already at a disadvantage elementally,” someone remarked.
“Do you think you’d have a chance against the Water Ring Bream if you waited?”
“…My pet is Ground Type, also at a disadvantage. My God, please don’t let me come up against him next!”
A few candidates in the stands were discussing fervently.
Zheng Yining sighed, feeling sympathy for the girl on the field once again.
Such bad luck…
Just then, Sun Boyi gave the command to start the battle.
“Approach and confuse it, then finish it quickly,” Qiao Sang ordered first.
The next second after her words fell, the Fire-Toothed Dog charged forward.
Good speed.
Sun Boyi appraised it in his mind.
Deal with it directly? How so?
Lu Liangye felt like laughing, and in fact, he did laugh out loud…
“Haha, use a water gun to keep it away.”
Beginner level water guns only reach about 2 meters in length, but the water gun sprayed by the Water Ring Carp extended to 5 meters, clearly showing mastery level skills.
The Fire-Toothed Dog easily dodged it.
In a blink of an eye, the Fire-Toothed Dog had split into two.
The Water Ring Carp was dumbfounded, not knowing which one to aim at with its water gun.
The two Fire-Toothed Dogs quickly approached the Water Ring Carp from the left and right, exposing their fangs wrapped in fierce flames.
“Wrap yourself with a water ring,” Lu Liangye ordered calmly.
“Isn’t that fire a bit too big?”
Li Yang, who had a decent amount of knowledge, raised a doubt.
“Is it? I’m nearsighted.” The delicate-looking boy squinted his eyes and gazed intently into the arena.
Li Yang: “…”
In the arena, the Fire-Toothed Dog’s fangs, engulfed in flames, had bitten down on the water ring. The two forces didn’t cancel each other out as they normally would, and the next second, the water ring was broken, and the fangs viciously clamped onto the Water Ring Carp’s head.
“Ring!! Ring!!”
The Water Ring Carp let out painful screams.
“How is this possible?! Water Ring Carp!” Lu Liangye lost his composure and called out to the Water Ring Carp in a panic.
On the other side.
“It’s a mastery level Flame Tooth.” Qin Wen said.
“The Fire-Toothed Dog is not bad; looks like it trained before forming a contract,” Zheng Pingguo remarked.
“This Fire-Toothed Dog is less than two months old,” the man with a slick-back haircut who had been silent up until then said.
“How is that possible?” Zheng Pingguo’s face showed disbelief.
“You don’t believe even the vice-principal’s words?” Qin Wen glanced at him.
Zheng Pingguo was left speechless by this remark.
Vice-Principal Liu Yao was someone their school had begged to come. Not only was he an A-grade Breeder but also a senior researcher who had received the prestigious Tong-Yu Award.
He was originally working at the Prince Higher Research Institute, and had it not been for the principal, who shamelessly besieged his house for months on the strength of being his elementary school classmate, he probably wouldn’t have condescended to join a Beast Taming High School.
So, when he said the Fire-Toothed Dog was less than two months old, it must be… less than two months old.
Zheng Pingguo looked at the Fire-Toothed Dog on the field with a weird expression as it released the Water Ring Carp and sat with an air of pride, as though making sure everyone knew it had won.
Could this Fire-Toothed Dog really be less than two months old?
On the field, the Water Ring Carp had already fainted.
As Sun Boyi announced the result, Qiao Sang walked up to Lu Liangye and said, “Sorry about that.”
Lu Liangye: “…!!”
Qiao Sang carried the Fire-Toothed Dog and sat down in the stands.
Before the Fire-Toothed Dog’s training, she dared to take it to the front of Litian Royal Beast High School to challenge the high school students, and she won all three challenges.
Now, the Fire-Toothed Dog’s strength was worlds apart from before, and the opponent was even more inexperienced – a middle school student who had just contracted their Pet Beast and hadn’t participated in middle school exit exams.
How could she lose?
Winning was the normal outcome.
No sooner had Qiao Sang sat down than she couldn’t help but yawn again.
The examinees nearby all looked over with shock and admiration in their eyes.
She won too cleanly and effortlessly!
Such an easy victory against an opposing element wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve.
