Chapter 1084: First Encounter with the Dragon King (Part 2)
The familiar that looked like an eye floated over to Pridebird and observed it for a moment.
Soon, the area occupied by Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon lit up with a green glow, signaling their victory.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon glanced at the unconscious opponent, panting heavily, and began to crawl toward Qiao Sang's position.
The arena was briefly silent for a split second before the noise erupted.
"Amazing! Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon have once again succeeded in a cross-rank challenge. She's already defeated three intermediate beasts, and I think all the intermediate beasts in this match will fall to Thunder Dragon."
"Pridebird was really disobedient. If it had listened to Lila at the last moment, it would have won the match."
"Considering they haven't officially bonded yet, Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon really don't seem like a pair without a bond. They cooperate more seamlessly than I do with my general."
"Jiang jiang." A black insect familiar, about one meter in size, nodded in agreement.
In the guest area.
"Who would have thought that Contestant Qiao Sang would win again", Fujian reflection said. "She and Thunder Dragon have truly brought us surprises in every match."
Feodor added:
"Contestant Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon's victory is inseparable from their seamless cooperation and trust. Without sufficient cooperation and trust, they definitely couldn't have defeated Lila and Pridebird in this match."
"Exactly", Fujian agreed. "At the critical moment, Contestant Qiao Sang still believed that Thunder Dragon could use Dragon Tail, and Thunder Dragon didn't let Contestant Qiao Sang down, successfully executing it. If Contestant Qiao Sang had hesitated for even a second, Thunder Dragon wouldn't have been able to get up so quickly, and the match's outcome would have been entirely different."
"Tie tie."
Railway Justice called out.
The translation synchronized through Fujian and Feodor's earpieces.
"Railway Justice makes a good point", Fujian said after listening. "If Contestant Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon are the model of a perfect battle, and what we most hope to see in the Bonding Contest, then Contestant Lila and Pridebird are the opposite. Despite having the potential to win, they failed due to a lack of sufficient cooperation and trust."
Feodor chimed in:
"I hope the audience, both here and at home, take this as a lesson."
...
Meanwhile.
In a valley covered with green grass and flowers.
A giant holographic screen displayed a close-up of Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon.
The next second, the camera switched to the host.
Dragon King nodded at the smaller valiant flying dragon below.
The valiant flying dragon received the signal and operated the device in front of it.
The giant holographic screen disappeared into thin air.
"Mo mo?"
Dragon King called out with a stern expression.
Everyone has seen it. How about it? Any of you want to bond?
The higher-level aura dragons, command dragons, valiant dragons, and valiant flying dragons exchanged glances and remained silent.
To them, this human's command was indeed impressive, allowing a weaker familiar to succeed in a cross-rank challenge. However, this wasn't the most crucial point; many prodigy Beastmasters could achieve this when their familiars were at a lower rank.
The most important thing was that she had the potential to participate in the Interstellar Cup.
But they also knew that talented Professional Beastmasters wouldn't bond with high-level familiars.
One by one, the young dragons and power dragons showed expressions of excitement, vying to call out:
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
For a moment, the voices of the young dragons and power dragons echoed throughout the valley.
The Dragon King looked down, a satisfied expression on his face, and called out in a commanding tone:
"Mo mo."
The young dragons and power dragons immediately fell silent.
"Mo mo", the Dragon King called again.
I see your enthusiasm, but the bond spot is only for one. I will only take the most outstanding few from our clan.
The young dragons and power dragons exchanged glances.
"Mo mo!" the Dragon King raised his voice.
So, let's have a battle!
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
With these words, the entire young dragon race instantly boiled with excitement, including the previously silent aura dragons, command dragons, valiant dragons, and valiant flying dragons.
...
After leaving the match venue, Qiao Sang avoided several reporters' interviews and sat on Fangy's back, flying high into the sky.
The Thunder Dragon leaned against Lulu, looking comfortable.
Migala floated nearby.
Qiao Sang spoke up, "Teacher, my hand..."
Before he finished, Migala handed him a mobile phone.
Qiao Sang immediately flattered, "As expected of Teacher, you knew what I needed even before I finished speaking."
Migala responded coolly, "Every time Tian Yiyi comes out, you ask me for the mobile phone right away."
Qiao Sang looked embarrassed but quickly composed himself, took the phone, and dialed his own number.
After two rings, the call connected.
"Xunxun?"
The Treasure Seeker's voice came through the speaker, sounding different as if it had something in its mouth.
"Has Qingbao's match ended?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xunxun~" the Treasure Seeker called, indicating it had ended.
Its voice had now returned to normal.
"Did Qingbao win?" Qiao Sang asked next.
"Xunxun~" the Treasure Seeker called, indicating it had won.
"Are you eating outside now?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Xunxun~" the Treasure Seeker readily admitted.
As expected... Qiao Sang asked, "What about Qingbao?"
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker called, indicating that Qingbao had stayed at the match venue to watch more matches.
Qingbao was alone at the match venue... Qiao Sang reflected for a moment and instructed, "After you finish eating, go back and find it."
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker agreed readily.
They chatted a bit more, and then Qiao Sang hung up the call.
As soon as he hung up, a call from "Debt Dragon" came in.
Qiao Sang handed the phone back.
Migala took it, glanced at it, and calmly put it in his pocket without answering.
"Teacher, I want to go to the match venue", Qiao Sang said.
If Qingbao and the Treasure Seeker had stayed together to watch the matches, she wouldn't have minded, but with Qingbao alone in an unfamiliar place, she felt it was necessary to go and accompany it.
After all, Qingbao was still young, and this was like an alien planet to it, with everything being unfamiliar.
"Alright", Migala nodded slightly and called to the side, "Meimei."
Pengamei appeared.
Migala picked up the phone, hung up the call from "Debt Dragon", navigated to Qingbao's location, and placed it in front of Pengamei.
Pengamei glanced down, nodded slightly, and then her eyes glowed with a blue light as she left with Qiaosang and Fangy.
……
At the same time.
“Roar!”
The Dragon King looked at the disconnected call, his nostrils flaring, and his face showing anger. His claws unconsciously tightened, and the mobile phone in his grip instantly shattered into a pile of scrap metal.
The Dragon King's expression stiffened, and he nonchalantly flicked the scrap metal to the ground. He then turned to the smaller, valiant flying dragons beside him and called out:
“Roar.”
Go buy me a new mobile phone.
“Roar.” The valiant flying dragons nodded, flapped their wings, and flew out of the valley.
The Dragon King looked down at the younger dragons battling below and smiled in satisfaction.
Does Migala think that just by not answering the phone, I won't be able to find her? Don't forget, we have a bond. Once the young ones decide on the strongest victor, I'll go straight to her and give her a surprise.
……
Elsewhere.
“The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
She had just called, and now it's disconnected… Migala put down her mobile phone, her brow furrowing as she thought.
Nothing must have happened, right?
It shouldn't be, the Dragon King is at the Imperial Tier and manages an entire race…
Despite her thoughts, Migala still checked the Dragon King's status in her mind. Seeing no abnormalities, she relaxed, put away her mobile phone, and flew toward the villa.
……
Hassman.
In the Arena.
Qingbao munched on popcorn, watching the match on the field with a bored expression.
The flower-type familiar sitting beside her called out in a friendly tone: “Mimi?”
Qingbao glanced at it but ignored it.
The flower-type familiar felt embarrassed and stopped talking, turning to watch the match.
But in the next moment, Qingbao seemed to sense something and suddenly handed over the popcorn with a sweet smile, calling out:
“Qingqing~”
How did her mood change so quickly… The flower-type familiar was taken aback, extending its claws to grab a handful of popcorn.
At that moment, a voice came from behind:
“Qingbao.”
“Qingqing!”
Qingbao turned around, her face showing surprise, and called out, holding the popcorn bucket as she floated toward Qiaosang.
“Mimi…”
The flower-type familiar looked at the human standing not far from Qingbao, stuffing a mouthful of popcorn.
It was the appearance of this human that caused the sudden change in mood…
……
7:00 PM.
At the dining table.
Qiaosang looked at Qingbao with a regretful expression and said:
“Tomorrow, Thunder Dragon's match is still in the morning. If your match times could be staggered, I could attend your match.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao called out sweetly, indicating it was fine. Liu's match required a Beastmaster to participate, and she could go to the match alone.
Qiaosang said with a comforting smile, “I appreciate your effort.”
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao shook her head, calling out with a knowing expression, indicating it wasn't a problem.
Thunder Dragon, who had been focused on eating energy pills, couldn't help but look up at Qingbao upon hearing the conversation.
He always felt that this companion was completely different when their Beastmaster was around.
At that moment, Treasure Seeker let out a belch.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao glanced at Treasure Seeker's round, full belly and called out to her Beastmaster.
Actually, she knew the way now, so even without Treasure Seeker's escort, it would be fine. Maybe she should go to the matches on her own from now on.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker panicked, calling out that it was unacceptable. It insisted on accompanying her.
Qingbao pretended to be considerate, about to say something more when Qiaosang spoke seriously:
"You can't go alone. Treasure Seeker must accompany you for me to feel at ease."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously.
Qingbao: "……"
"Mo mo!"
Suddenly, a powerful roar echoed from the direction of the Open Training Ground.
Migala Huanran, who had been quietly eating in the background, turned her head, looking surprised toward the Open Training Ground.
The Dragon King? It's here?!
A familiar has arrived... Qiao Sang put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy swallowed an Energy Pill and called out, indicating he would go check, then teleported away.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker's eyes lit up, showing a curious expression, and he dove into the black hole that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lulu stopped eating her Energy Pills and looked toward the Open Training Ground, her expression wary.
Qingbao used Wind Transformation and disappeared.
Steel Treasure silently flew to his Beastmaster's side.
Thunder Dragon, still munching on Energy Pills, glanced in the direction of the Open Training Ground.
"Teacher, I'll go check", Qiao Sang said, about to step away.
"Wait!" Migala called out.
Qiao Sang turned to look at her.
"I'll go. You continue eating", Migala said, getting up and quickly heading toward the Open Training Ground.
"Peng peng."
Pengamei, rarely showing excitement, teleported away.
How can I possibly eat now... Qiao Sang thought to himself, walking toward the Open Training Ground. Lulu and Steel Treasure followed beside him.
Thunder Dragon, seeing everyone leave, swallowed the Energy Pills in his mouth and moved to follow.
...
Open Training Ground.
"Ya Fangy"
Fangy, looking wary, stared at the Dragon King, who was wearing a Miniaturization Band and was only about a meter tall.
Despite its small size, Fangy still felt an oppressive aura from it.
He didn't back down, his expression becoming even more cautious as he called out:
"Ya Ya?"
The Dragon King stared at Fangy for a moment, then showed a "you're not bad" expression and called out:
"Mo mo."
Fangy was taken aback: "Ya Ya?"
"Mo mo", the Dragon King nodded.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy relaxed, showing a "why didn't you say so earlier" expression.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker emerged from the black hole, curiously examining the Dragon King.
Qingbao also appeared, doing the same.
"Peng peng."
Pengamei suddenly appeared, greeting them.
The Dragon King, about to speak, was interrupted by Migala, who quickly approached, looking exasperated.
"Why are you here?"
The Dragon King looked at her but didn't answer, only letting out a cold snort.
Fangy, Treasure Seeker, and Qingbao, who had gathered together, watched the scene with curious and gossip-filled eyes.
Migala, remembering that she hadn't replied to the Dragon King's message this morning and had hung up on its call, felt a bit guilty and lowered her voice.
"I called you back later, but I couldn't get through."
The Dragon King snorted again.
Treasure Seeker took off his Ring, pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds, and started cracking them.
"Let's talk outside", Migala said in a low voice.
The Dragon King snorted for the third time, ignoring her, and walked toward the living room.
Just then, Qiao Sang emerged from the living room, his eyes meeting the Dragon King's.
Oh no... Migala's heart sank.
She had thought about the possibility of the Dragon King meeting Qiao Sang, but never expected it to happen so soon... (End of Chapter)
