Chapter 1082: Young Dragons Gather
Before long, the valley filled with lush grass and blooming flowers was teeming with valiant flying dragons in every stage of their development.
Here, Dragon-type Beast Companions, rare sights in the outside world, were everywhere.
Some soared through the air, others walked on the ground, and still others perched on trees, all their eyes fixed on the largest and most majestic valiant flying dragon hovering high above.
The Dragon King, seeing everyone assembled, nodded at a smaller valiant flying dragon on the ground.
The smaller dragon received the signal and operated a device in front of it.
Instantly, a giant holographic screen appeared in the sky.
"After five days of intense matches, we have determined the Top Eight Contestants! Today, we will see the Top Eight advance to the semifinals!" the host, microphone in hand, announced loudly.
"Mo mo?"
"Mo mo?"
Young dragons, power dragons, aura dragons, command dragons, valiant dragons, and valiant flying dragons exchanged puzzled glances, their confusion evident in their eyes.
While the Flock occasionally gathered to watch matches, these were usually contests involving their own companions or Dragon-type Beast Companions. This match was clearly different.
"Mo mo?"
A bolder valiant dragon called out to the Dragon King, asking what the match was about.
"Mo mo."
The Dragon King glanced at the younger dragons and called out with authority, explaining that it was a Bonding Contest, where unbonded humans and familiars team up to compete.
"Mo mo."
It called out again.
The match itself wasn't important. What mattered was that one of the Contestants was a student of the Dragon King's bonded Beastmaster.
"Mo mo?!"
"Mo mo?!"
The entire Flock of young dragons was stunned, their expressions a mix of shock and surprise.
The younger ones were unaware that their leader had a Beastmaster, while the older ones knew that this Beastmaster was an S-Class figure.
However, they remembered that this S-Class figure was not on Flame Sky Star, so how could her student be here?
"Mo mo."
The Dragon King surveyed the expressions of its younger kin and called out in a steady tone.
Some of you may not know, but my Beastmaster is a Teacher at the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. Her students are destined to participate in the Interstellar Cup. Her involvement in this match means she is about to bond with a familiar. You can watch her match and if you see a familiar you like, I will take you to meet her. You might have a chance to appear in the Interstellar Cup one day.
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
At these words, the entire Flock of young dragons erupted in excitement.
The Interstellar Cup was the dream of every familiar on Flame Sky Star!
Especially for the young dragons and power dragons.
They all knew that Professional Beastmasters generally preferred to bond with lower-tier familiars.
The more mature valiant dragons and valiant flying dragons, however, watched with a more critical eye.
They needed to see if the human the leader spoke of was truly capable.
Despite their differing thoughts, the entire Flock of young dragons gazed intently at the giant screen, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the Beastmaster the leader had mentioned.
...
On the other side.
Mulei Stadium.
The Contestant teams were still determined by a guest drawing lots.
"Ti ti."
Railway Justice drew a wooden stick and held it up for the camera.
"Railway Justice has drawn the team of Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon! We don't know who their opponent will be yet!" the host, microphone in hand, announced.
"Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon have struggled this far, and I hope this time they can draw an opponent of the same Level", Fujian said with a smile.
She drew a slip of wood, glanced at it, and then said with an embarrassed look:
"I'm really sorry, but it seems Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon will have to challenge an opponent of a higher Level again."
With that, she showed the wooden slip in her hand:
Lila Adela, Pridebird
A Pridebird is an intermediate flying pet, known for its haughty nature and extremely fast speed... Qiao Sang recalled the information about the Pridebird.
The audience stands erupted in a flurry of chatter at the result.
"How unlucky for Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon to keep drawing intermediate beasts as opponents."
"Who would have thought? There are so few intermediate beasts among the contestants, and she seems to have encountered them all."
"Is this Shadow Veil? Could Qiao Sang have offended the organizers?"
"Actually, the odds aren't that low. There are so few contestants left, and the organizers aren't stupid. Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon are currently the most popular duo, so they wouldn't sabotage her by eliminating her early."
"Still, Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon are really unlucky..."
In the third row of Zone A.
Migala's mobile phone buzzed repeatedly.
She pulled it out and saw a series of voice messages from "Debt Dragon."
Migala hesitated for a moment, then chose to ignore them, putting the phone back in her pocket and focusing on the field.
The match proceeded smoothly.
Now, only four pairs of contestants remained, and Qiao Sang was up second.
In less than ten minutes, it was her turn to step onto the field.
Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon took their positions, and Qiao Sang looked at the familiar standing a short distance away—a creature about 90 centimeters tall, with a predominantly dark blue body and white patterns on its head and tail tip. She began to analyze it instinctively.
A Pridebird, known for its speed, which happens to be Thunder Dragon's weakest point. If the opponent uses this advantage, Thunder Dragon's chances of winning will be very low...
As she thought, the number "3" appeared in the air, and the mechanical voice began the countdown.
...
At the same time.
In the valley.
Dragon King put down her mobile phone with a frown and looked up to see the holographic screen showing Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon entering the field.
Although Migala had been vague about Qiao Sang's information the previous day, Dragon King immediately recognized that Thunder Dragon was not a familiar of Flame Sky Star.
"Roro!"
Dragon King's eyes lit up as she called out.
She's here!
"Roro!"
The young dragons' flock first showed excitement, then turned to look at Thunder Dragon with wary expressions.
Seeing another dragon-type beast companion in the match put them on edge. They knew that only beastmasters with a bond intention would sign up for such a competition.
"Roro!"
Dragon King, sensing the mood among her juniors, let out a commanding call.
Who are you showing these faces to? Are you saying you're not as good as this little one? Don't forget, her teacher is my beastmaster!
"Roro!"
"Roro!"
The entire flock of young dragons was instantly inspired and continued to watch the holographic screen.
...
At Mulei Stadium.
"3, 2, 1, match start."
The numbers vanished.
Thunder Dragon's body immediately crackled with electric arcs, which converged and shot toward the Pridebird soaring high in the sky.
