Chapter 357: Group Stage Fully Concluded
Chapter 357: Group Stage Fully Concluded
Qiao Sang was utterly bewildered at the moment.
While everyone else was captivated by the sudden snowfall, her attention quickly returned to Lulu.
Then she was dumbfounded.
Snowfall?
Lulu just used Snowfall?!
At this moment, Qiao Sang had serious doubts about the content in her textbooks.
Was it possible that Advanced Skills were actually quite easy to learn?
Upon serious reflection, among her three familiars, Fangy had spent the longest and worked the hardest to learn Mars Rain, but that only took about a month. Were Advanced Skills really that difficult to master? Or was it just the textbook authors who thought so... Various thoughts swirled in Qiao Sang's mind.
While Qiao Sang was lost in thought, Lulu looked up at the Snowfall she had just cast, her eyes brightening with excitement. But then she seemed to remember something and quickly composed herself. She opened her mouth, and a dark, heavy cloud descended.
Thunder rumbled, and icy rain began to pour down.
The raindrops drew the attention of the spectators, who were in the middle of discussing, back to the arena. They instantly forgot about the Snowfeather that had just flown by.
Rain?!
Most people were dazed.
Wang Weidou's eyes lit up.
"Really, it's raining?!" someone in the stands muttered.
It had only been a short while, and no one had forgotten Qiao Sang's command.
So, Glacialia really can cast Rain Invocation?!
"It's not just that it's an endangered familiar, but its talent is so impressive. Why isn't it mine..." the man beside her felt jealousy tearing him apart.
The woman to his right glanced at him and asked, "You didn't watch Qiao Sang's previous matches, did you?"
The man was taken aback and nodded.
He was from the town, and although his daughter attended Huicheng Beast Tamer High School, she wasn't part of the School Team.
If it weren't for the National School Beastmaster League Group Stage being held at his daughter's school, he wouldn't have paid any attention to the competition.
It wasn't that the competition wasn't important; it just felt too distant from his and his daughter's world, making it unnecessary to follow.
The woman on his right said, "A familiar's talent is important, but it also depends on who the Beastmaster is. A good Beastmaster can fully tap into a familiar's potential. Qiao Sang isn't just powerful with Glacialia; her other familiar, Treasure Hunter Demon, has also learned the Advanced Skill, Shadow Control."
Shadow Control? The man was stunned.
The woman continued, "So even if Glacialia were your familiar, you might not be able to teach it Rain Invocation."
This... The man was speechless. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman in the white windbreaker smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth curling up. "I'm her mother."
The man: "???"
On the field, completely unaware that her mother was in the audience, Qiao Sang saw the rain and quickly regained her composure, maintaining her usual calm. She said, "Water Spray."
"Lulu!"
Lulu kept a close eye on the flying figure in the sky. In the next second, a blue stream of water enveloped her entire body.
Boom!
In an instant, Lulu transformed into a blue jet, shooting straight up into the sky.
"Sensory Bird!"
Sensory Bird looked down and saw a blue water column rushing toward it, causing it to flap its wings frantically to dodge.
The sudden fear and the large movement caused one of its feathers to fall out.
Lulu flipped and dove from the sky.
Her already fast speed suddenly increased, making the surrounding raindrops seem to move in slow motion.
Just as Sensory Bird flapped its wings, the water-encased Lulu shot through the air, covering a distance of several meters before colliding with Sensory Bird's back.
"Sensory Bird!!!"
Sensory Bird was slammed to the ground, creating a small crater.
The rain mixed with snow finally stopped, and the Mechanical Pet wearing a referee badge flew over to the pit and took a look inside.
"Whistle!" Three seconds later, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.
The audience stands erupted into a tide of noise.
"How could Glacialia be so fast?"
"Yeah! It often uses Water Spray, but the speed today is clearly on a whole different level from a few days ago!"
"What's up with Wu Chang? He just stood there after Snowfall and didn't give any commands afterward."
"Who can understand? I blinked twice, and the match was over?!"
"Glacialia is amazing today!"
"It's Rain Sprint", a middle-aged man in the Vip section of the audience stands said solemnly.
"Principal Wang, this time your Holy Water High School seems to have produced a prodigy who can outshine Litan Beastmaster High School", the vice principal of Xiongding High School said with a smile. "They say Litan's Ding Yanjing's Guweihua has strong mid-battle endurance, but I think Qiao Sang's Glacialia is the real deal."
"Indeed", the man beside him said with a sour tone. "Healing Light, Rain Invocation, and the Rain Sprint trait—all for healing, speed, and attack. How can it not be strong?"
Wang Weidou chuckled, "Oh, Qiao Sang, I don't know how she trains. Every time I see her, her strength has increased by a significant margin."
"Don't mention outshining Litan Beastmaster High School. She's only a sophomore, and she's competing in the junior year division. It's already impressive that she's made it this far, considering she's facing students two years older than her."
Wang Weidou raised his head slightly.
The vice principal of Xiongding High School's lips twitched.
This hometown guy, did he say "outshine"? He said "outdo"!
One word makes a big difference, doesn't it!
...
On the field, Wu Chang took a deep breath. If he wasn't mistaken, Glacialia had used Snowfall before Rain Invocation...
Intermediate Beast, it's truly terrifying...
Wu Chang gave Qiao Sang a deep look.
Others might not know yet, but he was fully aware that the girl's strength was already enough to qualify for the National School Beastmaster League finals.
Once the elimination rounds were over, with their current gap, they might never face each other again...
Wu Chang was silent for a moment before asking, "Can we exchange contact information?"
"Sure", Qiao Sang replied readily.
...
More than an hour later, the week-long group stage came to an end.
The holographic screen above the audience stands immediately announced the list of qualifiers after the match ended.
At the top of the first row, Qiao Sang saw her name.
"You all did well; all three of you have advanced", Sun Boyi said with a smile. "But the elimination rounds in three days are the key, especially for He Datao. Don't slack off when you get back."
He Datao muttered under his breath, "Why don't you mention Qiao..."
He paused, remembering Qiao Sang's Flame Listener evolution, and changed her name, "Xu Yixuan."
Xu Yixuan: "..."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Qiao Sang, come, let's get acquainted."
Qiao Sang turned around and saw the principal, who was radiating a golden glow, and a middle-aged man.
"Hello, I'm the vice principal of Xiongding High School", the middle-aged man said with a friendly expression.
