Chapter 1090: Making an Appearance
"I may not be as professional as a real Announcer, but I'll do my best to commentate on every match for you all", Leonard said.
"Weku." Wekughost smiled and called out.
There was no real-time translation, but the Familiars in the audience stands cheered enthusiastically.
Compared to the Guest Railway Justice at the Bonding Contest, Wekughost was clearly more popular among the Familiars.
The Host said into the microphone, "After several days of intense competition, only 64 Contestants remain. Among them are Beastmasters who have entered the competition and Familiars who are competing alone. Who will take the next step and successfully advance to the next round?"
As he spoke, the Camera panned across the contestant area.
In the center of the Arena was a Giant Virtual Screen, which allowed everyone to see the Camera's view in real time.
As the Camera swept through the contestant area, Qingbao quickly removed the two tissues from her nostrils and gave the Camera a sweet smile.
A small burst of cheers erupted from the audience stands, as many people and Familiars were charmed by Qingbao's smile.
The Host continued, "First, let's proceed with the Grouping for this round."
As soon as he finished speaking, the image on the Giant Virtual Screen changed to a series of photos of people and their Familiars.
The photos moved and shuffled around.
After about ten seconds, they settled into pairs.
Qiao Sang's gaze swept over the photos, and she quickly found her opponent's picture.
It was a Thunderstar Tiger.
A Thunderstar Tiger is a high-tier electric beast with X-ray vision, skilled at discovering and effectively pursuing enemies who are hiding or fleeing. They are highly favored by Police Stations, and many Thunderstar Tigers end up working there after they grow up. This information flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.
Although she had been watching replays of Qingbao's matches at home, she had mostly focused on Qingbao's matches and hadn't watched all of them.
The last time she came to the venue to watch a match with Qingbao, she had seen a Thunderstar Tiger compete once.
Thanks to her powerful memory, she recalled that this Thunderstar Tiger was a Wild Beast Companion competing alone. It was a standout in terms of attack power and speed among High-Class Beast Companions, possessing the Tenacity trait, which increases its attack power when it enters an abnormal status.
She would have to be cautious in this round, as Qingbao's defensive strength wasn't very strong...
"Lei Xing."
Just as she was thinking, a voice sounded from behind her.
Qiao Sang turned around to see her opponent, the Thunderstar Tiger.
It was a few positions away and suddenly winked at Qingbao, sending her a Bewitching Glance.
Qingbao returned the Bewitching Glance.
"Lei Xing..."
The Thunderstar Tiger's eyes instantly filled with hearts, and it wore an infatuated expression.
Qiao Sang: "..."
It's a male, and it doesn't have a Beastmaster. If it uses Enchantment at the start of the match, the chances of victory will increase by at least 30%.
Qiao Sang then thought of something, pulled out her mobile phone, and searched for the Elite Beastmaster Tournament to find the match videos of the Thunderstar Tiger from previous rounds.
Qingbao has the Power Swap skill, which can be very effective. It would be best to know the Thunderstar Tiger's skills before the match.
"What are you looking at?" Migala asked.
"The Thunderstar Tiger's previous matches", Qiao Sang replied. "I want to know what skills it has."
Not relaxing her guard just because the opponent is a Wild Beast Companion—very good... Migala couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. Many prodigy Beastmasters who came to Flame Sky Star were often filled with contempt when facing Wild Beast Companions in single battles. She was pleased that Qiao Sang didn't have this common flaw.
After the Host finished explaining the procedures, the first match of the round began shortly after.
Time passed, and the matches proceeded in an orderly manner.
The atmosphere in the Arena grew increasingly intense.
Qiao Sang blocked out the surrounding noise and watched Thunderstar Tiger's past matches on her mobile phone with Qingbao, occasionally reminding herself to remember certain attack moves, completely unaffected by the environment around her.
"Ya Ya!"
After an unknown amount of time, Fangy suddenly called out.
Qiao Sang looked up and saw the next group of contestants' photos on the giant virtual screen, one of which was herself.
It's my turn already... She put away her mobile phone, stood up calmly, and with a wave of her hand, returned Qingbao to the Beastmaster Codex.
The Elite Beastmaster Tournament did not have staff to remind contestants to prepare backstage or to enter the arena; it all relied on the contestants' own initiative.
If a contestant did not appear on stage within the specified time, they would forfeit automatically.
"Thunderstar!"
Thunderstar Tiger leaped a few times and landed in the Arena.
Qiao Sang, who was originally walking to the stage, saw Thunderstar Tiger's actions and stopped in her tracks. She turned to Treasure Seeker and said:
"Send me up directly."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker let out a call, its eyes glowing blue.
At the same time, the host said into the microphone, "One of the contestants, Thunderstar Tiger, has already made it to the stage, and its astonishing offensive power is truly impressive. The other contestant, Qiao Sang, is yet to be seen—will she appear in person or let Clear Hidden Sprite compete alone again?"
Before the host could finish, a girl with delicate features, black eyes, and black hair tied in a ponytail appeared on the stage out of nowhere.
It was none other than the contestant Qiao Sang from the photo.
The host quickly changed his tone and said excitedly:
"Contestant Qiao Sang has arrived on the stage! She has finally come to compete alongside Clear Hidden Sprite. I wonder what kind of impressive performance she will give in her first appearance."
In the audience stands, the crowd buzzed with excitement at the sight of the girl:
"Clear Hidden Sprite is Blue Star's familiar, so is Qiao Sang also from Blue Star?"
"She has finally come to compete. When I watched the match on TV, I almost thought Clear Hidden Sprite was a wild beast companion."
"Qiao Sang must have another Psychic-type familiar, teleporting directly to the stage like that. So showy."
"Judging by her age, she seems quite young. To be able to raise a High-Class Beast Companion, she must be a prodigy Beastmaster."
"Considering the familiar she bonded with, whether she's from our planet and bonded with Blue Star's familiar, or if she's from Blue Star and came here, it's clear her background is not ordinary. With the resources she has, even if she lacks talent, raising a High-Class Beast Companion isn't that difficult."
"Damn, isn't she the champion of the Bonding Contest? I just watched her match yesterday!"
"I thought she looked familiar. Now it's clear—she's from Blue Star. I remember the familiar she teamed up with in the Bonding Contest was also from Blue Star, and it was a Dragon-type Beast Companion."
"Dragon-type Beast Companion? Definitely rich!"
In the guest area:
"Momo."
Aura Dragons had a look of realization. It hadn't noticed until now, but Clear Hidden Sprite was the familiar that the power dragons wanted to bond with.
It didn't have many rivals in its sights, but Clear Hidden Sprite was one of them. After all, it was an alien familiar whose attributes completely countered its own, making it hard to forget.
Amidst the discussions, a familiar wearing a referee badge appeared on the stage, holding a green flag and waving it towards Qiao Sang.
The match rules stated that if one contestant was a wild beast companion and the other a Beastmaster, the Beastmaster had to summon their familiar under the referee's command.
Qiao Sang, having watched the matches beforehand, naturally knew the rules.
She raised her hand and began to seal.
Soon, a brilliant Crimson Star Array illuminated the stage. (End of Chapter)
