Chapter 1100: The Tenth Seat (Part 2)
Chapter 1100: The Tenth Seat (Part 2)
Qiao Sang teleported back to the Contestant Area and saw Dragon King looking at her and Qingbao with a complex expression.
That look was as if it knew some incredible secret about them.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask.
Could it be that Dragon King felt it shouldn’t have won against the aura dragons? But wasn’t it normal for a Fairy-type pet beast to defeat a Dragon-type familiar at the same stage?
Dragon King first looked around, then lowered its voice and called out:
"Momo?"
"Qingqing", Qingbao interjected before Qiao Sang could respond, with an expression that said, "You only just figured that out?"
Winds swirled around Qingbao, clearly indicating it was still in a bad mood.
In the past, if any familiar had shown Dragon King such an expression, it would have made it clear who the leader was. But now, knowing that Qingbao was a Legendary Beast Companion and a partner to the Beastmaster it wanted to bond with, Dragon King called out sincerely:
"Momo!"
I really only just found out!
"Steel Chief",
Steel Treasure's voice echoed in Qiao Sang's mind, explaining that Dragon King had just learned Qingbao was a Legendary Beast Companion.
What? So Dragon King didn't know before? Qiao Sang was taken aback.
She had assumed Teacher had already told it.
"I thought Teacher Mikara had already told you", Qiao Sang said aloud.
"Momo!"
Dragon King immediately turned to look at Mikara, calling out to indicate that she hadn’t told it.
Then its eyes took on a reproachful look.
Mikara: "!!!"
Mikara quickly responded, "You didn't ask before."
"Momo."
Dragon King called out in a dissatisfied tone, implying that if she hadn’t asked, you wouldn’t have said anything.
Mikara: "……"
The atmosphere seemed off, and Qiao Sang hesitated internally. It probably wasn’t her problem, right?
Qingbao found the scene amusing and the wind around it, which had been a constant since the training, seemed to lessen.
Qiao Sang noticed this and pondered it.
Soon, the aura dragons returned to the Contestant Area, looking dejected.
There were dedicated medical teams backstage for these matches, and if the injuries weren’t too severe, they could be healed with a skill.
"Momo."
Dragon King noticed its junior's mood and called out, indicating that losing to the Clear Hidden Sprite was nothing to be ashamed of and not to be upset.
"Momo…"
The aura dragons looked at Dragon King in surprise, not expecting it to say such a thing. Before the match, it had insisted they win at all costs…
Moreover, in their memory, the leader was very competitive. If they lost any match, it would berate them for being useless.
"Momo?"
The aura dragons gathered their thoughts and cautiously called out, asking if they could still return.
"Momo."
Dragon King gave it a sidelong glance, coldly refusing.
No.
Aura dragons: "……"
……
4:30 PM.
Villa, Open Training Ground.
Sweetflower's petals around its neck continuously emitted a green gas.
The area within a hundred meters was almost entirely covered by the green gas.
Qingbao, surrounded by the green gas, wore a look of endurance. Each time the Gale around it dispersed the gas, more would rush in.
Meanwhile, pink light from the ground below continuously shielded Qingbao from negative status effects.
In the shade of a distant tree, Qiao Sang wore a mask and meditated.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared beside her.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, wearing a mask and holding a computer, emerged from the black hole, excitedly calling out that it had found another mission to undertake.
“What is it?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xunxun~” Treasure Seeker placed the notebook in front of its Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang looked at the computer screen.
[Need help from Flame Sky Star alumni to find ten libatuan hairs. One hair for 10 credits, including shipping fees.]
Libatuan, a Grass-Type General-Class Beast Companion, is known for its domineering temper and sparse fur. Each one usually has only three grass-like hairs on its head, which are its scales of wrath. Anyone who dares to touch them must face the libatuan’s fury… Despite this, the hairs have a significant effect on the growth of Grass-Type Companion Beasts, so many people are willing to risk touching the scales of wrath to obtain them… Qiao Sang recalled the information about libatuan and had a slight idea.
“After Qingbao’s match, I’ll go with you to see if any stores outside have libatuan hairs for sale.”
Credits are hard to earn, but money is easy. As long as you can trade money for credits, it’s a good deal.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker’s eyes curved, and it called out, indicating that it didn’t need to wait and would find the libatuan hairs itself.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “Alright, take my card. It’s in your Ring.”
She then took out her mobile phone, checked the market price for libatuan hairs, and put it back down, saying, “Don’t buy any that cost more than 80,000 Union Coins per hair.”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker called out happily, promising to complete the mission. It then turned and dove into the black hole.
…
In a bustling commercial street, Treasure Seeker emerged from a black hole that appeared out of nowhere.
The black hole was only a few dozen centimeters in size and appeared in mid-air, making it far less noticeable than a Flying Beast soaring through the sky. Thus, few people or familiars took notice.
Treasure Seeker had practiced Shadow Penetration here a few times and was quite familiar with the area. It floated smoothly toward the familiar materials store.
Suddenly, a familiar about a meter tall, mostly light green, and with a round body, wearing a Miniaturization Band, passed by. On its head were three green hairs.
It was a libatuan.
Treasure Seeker couldn’t take its eyes off the three hairs. Its eyes lit up, and it had an idea. It floated next to the libatuan, pointed to its three hairs, and called out, “Xunxun~”
“Liba!”
The libatuan immediately showed a furious expression.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker called out, indicating it was willing to pay for the hairs.
“Liba!”
The libatuan became even angrier.
Are you insulting me with money!
It then took a battle stance.
“Xunxun!”
Seeing the libatuan’s reaction, Treasure Seeker quickly raised its claws, signaling to calm down.
In the next moment, it was enveloped in a golden glow.
The libatuan nearly went blind from the brightness.
Upon closer inspection, it saw a set of golden armor.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker pointed to its armor and called out, indicating that if it lost the battle, the armor would be the libatuan’s, but if the libatuan lost, it would have to give up its hairs.
It remembered its Beastmaster saying that many things here could be resolved through battle. It had once solved a problem with the Curse Herald in the same way.
The libatuan’s eyes flashed, and its anger subsided, replaced by interest. It first sized up Treasure Seeker’s body, then looked at its claws, noticing the lack of a Miniaturization Band. It finally made up its mind and nodded, “Liba!”
I'll challenge you!
...
Six o'clock in the evening.
Villa.
Living room, dining table.
Qiao Sang looked at the circle of young dragons sitting on the floor and fell silent.
"Tingting..."
The Thunder Dragon looked at the young dragons in front of it, veins bulging on its forehead, and Yellow Lightning Arcs flickering around its body.
"Momo", the Power Dragon called from the side, implying that it had no confidence in the human it wanted to bond with.
The Thunder Dragon paused, and the electric arcs disappeared.
Because Tian Yiyi had been helping it with Battle Training for the past two days and hadn't tried to cozy up to its Beastmaster like the other young dragons, the Thunder Dragon's prejudice against it had lessened, and it could listen to its words more easily.
One, two, three... nine... This was too many... Qiao Sang opened his mouth and finally asked:
"These young dragons are?"
"Momo."
The Dragon King raised a big smile and called out.
Migala translated expressionlessly: "It says these young dragons miss it so much that they insisted on coming over."
Do you really expect me to believe that... Qiao Sang inwardly scoffed but put on a face of "Oh, I see."
The Dragon King gave the young dragons a meaningful look.
"Momo!"
"Momo!"
"Momo!"
The young dragons enthusiastically greeted Qiao Sang one after another.
Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment and changed the subject:
"The Treasure Seeker hasn't returned yet."
"Xunxun~"
As soon as he said this, a black hole appeared in the living room, and the Treasure Seeker emerged, calling out.
"Why did it take you so long to buy something? Did you just go out to play?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker looked wronged and called out, indicating that it had only gone to collect libatuan's fur.
"Xunxun~"
At this point, the Treasure Seeker became happy again and called out, indicating that it had collected all the libatuan's fur.
Collected all of it? Qiao Sang thought of something, picked up his mobile phone, and glanced at it, surprised.
"Why hasn't the money been deducted from my card?"
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker placed its hands on its hips, raised its head, and called out proudly.
It hadn't spent any money; it had just challenged a few libatuan to battle. They lost and gave it their fur.
No money spent? Qiao Sang asked in astonishment:
"Why would they be willing to battle you?"
The Treasure Seeker is a Royal Beast, while libatuan is only a General-Class creature. Knowing they would lose, why would they agree to battle?
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker's mouth curved into a smile.
Secret.
"Steel Chief."
At that moment, Steel Treasure's voice echoed in his mind.
Those libatuan probably didn't know that Treasure Seeker's leader was at the Royal Tier.
Qiao Sang glanced at the Treasure Seeker, and his first thought was:
Steel Treasure is right.
His second thought was: Great! If I need any resources from a familiar in the future, I can just challenge it to a battle! No need to spend any money, no wonder so many people want to come to Flame Sky Star!
With this thought, Qiao Sang's eyes lit up as if he saw a bright future.
"Momo?" The Dragon King tried to start a conversation, to build a connection, and asked what the libatuan's fur was for.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker immediately explained.
Migala glanced in the direction of Pengamei.
"Pengpeng."
Pengamei helped translate.
“Are you still taking on school missions?” Migala asked.
Qiao Sang replied, “It’s the Treasure Seeker. It wants to earn credits.”
“Xunxun~” Treasure Seeker nodded.
Night Ring King? Earning credits? Migala was taken aback for a moment.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker seemed to have a thought, sighed, and showed a regretful expression. It called out, indicating that if only it knew who had the Bloodpurifier Fruit, it would challenge them and take it back.
Qiao Sang’s lips twitched.
“Pengpeng.”
Pengamei helped translate.
Migala was stunned again. “Bloodpurifier Fruit?”
Qiao Sang said with a helpless tone, “It’s a mission posted on the school’s official website. They want the Bloodpurifier Fruit from Flame Sky Star and are offering 1000 credits.”
After speaking, she looked at Treasure Seeker and said, “Even if someone has it, they wouldn’t use it as a battle wager.”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker first looked disappointed, then remembered the few strands of hair it had obtained, and regained its spirit. It called out, indicating that it didn’t matter; it could always earn credits by doing other missions.
Today’s success had given it a lot of confidence in earning 1000 credits.
“Only one fruit?” Migala asked.
Only one? Qiao Sang was taken aback and turned to ask, “Teacher, do you know where to find the Bloodpurifier Fruit?”
Her eyes held a hidden glimmer of hope.
Migala calmly replied, “I don’t know.”
Qiao Sang: “...”
“I mean, while the Bloodpurifier Fruit is rare, a single fruit won’t significantly purify a familiar’s bloodline. At best, it might improve purity by about 3%,” Migala explained. “They probably want it for experiments, not to give to a familiar.”
I don’t care what they use it for... Qiao Sang inwardly grumbled but put on a look of realization and said, “I see.”
With that, she started eating her meal.
“Momo.”
Suddenly, Dragon King called out in a mysterious tone, indicating that it knew where to find the Bloodpurifier Fruit.
“Xunxun?!”
Treasure Seeker, who had just taken off its Ring and was about to take out an Energy Pill, immediately stopped. Its eyes lit up, and it showed a hopeful expression, calling out, “Really? Where?”
Qiao Sang also looked over.
From Treasure Seeker’s words, she could guess what Dragon King was saying.
“Momo.”
Dragon King had a profound expression and called out again.
In the territory of the tenth seat, there was a Bloodpurifier Fruit tree.
“Xunxun?” Treasure Seeker looked puzzled.
Qiao Sang echoed the confusion, “Tenth seat?”
It couldn’t be the tenth seat she was thinking of, could it...
Migala explained, “The tenth seat is the title given to the highest-ranking managers in the Beastmaster League, numbered from one to ten.”
She thought for a moment and added, “I remember the current tenth seat is a Transvides.”
Transvides, a Psychic Pet from the legends, is said to have the ability to travel through space.
Qiao Sang’s expression was a bit dazed. It was really the tenth seat she was thinking of...
Although she had known about the existence of the Beastmaster League since childhood, it was so far removed from her life that people around her rarely discussed it.
It was only when she was studying at the Beastmaster Alliance that she first learned that the highest-ranking managers in the Beastmaster League were called by their seat numbers.
And the fact that the tenth seat was a Transvides was something she had just found out. (End of Chapter)
