Chapter 437: I Have Something to Attend To
Chapter 437: I Have Something to Attend To
The commotion in the back rows, combined with Ji Hui Tatta's inexplicable disappearance from the arena and Shao Liben's sudden turn, immediately caught the attention of a portion of the audience, who stretched their necks to see what was happening.
At the same time, a Holographic Projection appeared, showing the source of the disturbance.
In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted in the same direction, their movements synchronized.
The scene grew noisy.
"Damn! How did Ji Hui Tatta end up there?!"
"Spatial Shift! When Qiao Sang issued the command for Spherical Shift, it wasn't to move the Treasure Hunter Demon, but to move Ji Hui Tatta!"
"I don't get it! Doesn't Spherical Shift require contact?!"
"That's only in the early stages. Later on, it doesn't need contact."
"So, this Treasure Hunter Demon has mastered the advanced stage of Spherical Shift?!"
"At the very least, it should have reached mastery."
"I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't process all this information..."
"Qiao Sang is incredible! One familiar is one thing, but how did he manage to train three familiars to such a monstrous level?"
"Did Qiao Sang win this match?!"
"No, these skills are practically a bug. If the Treasure Hunter Demon uses Spherical Shift in every match, wouldn't Qiao Sang be unbeatable?"
"Who would have thought that a high school student in the National School Beastmaster League could have such a powerful familiar."
...
In the Contestant Area, a woman in formal attire snapped out of her daze and rushed to the main referee, shouting:
"Match pause! I request a match pause!"
The main referee glanced at her but remained silent.
Meanwhile, the assistant referee, a Mechanical Pet, blew the End-of-Match Whistle.
"I don't agree with this result!" the woman protested angrily. "Qiao Sang committed a foul. It's not allowed to use Spherical Shift to directly move an opponent out of the arena during a match!"
The main referee explained, "The National School Beastmaster League doesn't have that rule. That's specific to the Regional Tournaments."
The woman was taken aback, then her expression darkened.
Indeed, the National School Beastmaster League had no such rule.
Few students participating in the league had familiars capable of Advanced Skills, and Spherical Shift, being one of the more difficult Advanced Skills to learn, was even rarer. Even fewer could perform it at a proficiency level that allowed them to move an opponent without physical contact.
At least, such a scenario had never occurred in the history of the National School Beastmaster League.
The Regional Tournaments had implemented this rule after a particularly outrageous incident during a match in Hollow Plains, which led to its adoption by other regions.
Different levels of skill required different match rules.
No one could have predicted that a high school student in the National School Beastmaster League would possess a familiar as powerful as Qiao Sang's.
The woman took a deep breath, pulled out her mobile phone, and dialed a number.
The immediate priority was to get the rule prohibiting the use of Spherical Shift to directly move an opponent out of the arena added to the official guidelines before the national competition.
Otherwise, the national tournament would be impossible to conduct.
...
Qiao Sang watched the Holographic Projection, his lips twitching slightly.
She never expected that Treasure Seeker would move Ji Hui Tatta to the audience stands and even pin him down on someone else.
In the scene, the man who was pinned under Ji Hui Tatta had a ghastly pale face, his eyes tightly shut, looking as if he was about to pass out.
Qiao Sang, feeling a pang of guilt, raised her hand and called for a pause.
The chief referee immediately ran over to check the situation.
"This is my fault; I want to go and take a look", Qiao Sang said, pointing to the back row of the audience stands where a group of people were gathered.
The chief referee glanced at his wristwatch and nodded. "Alright, but the pause can only last for 15 minutes."
Qiao Sang had no objections.
"Treasure Seeker", Qiao Sang called out.
Treasure Seeker immediately understood and floated up to her Beastmaster's head.
The next second, the two of them vanished from the field.
...
As the current top-ranked match in the Ancient Fog Region, the field naturally had a professional medical team on standby.
At the moment, a duck familiar in a white coat was glowing with blue light, continuously casting healing skills on the man with his eyes closed.
"Ji Hui..."
Ji Hui Tatta kept backing away, step by step, further and further.
"Brother, hang in there!" the spectators encouraged him, their voices filled with support.
Many people were taking photos and videos, the flashes going off one after another.
Despite the sympathy from those around him, no one could resist capturing such a dramatic moment.
For heaven's sake, stop taking pictures, will you? How am I supposed to get up with so many people taking photos... The man, his eyes still shut, was seething inside.
Under the treatment, he was no longer in pain, but the constant flashes were still noticeable even with his eyes closed.
It was easy to imagine that these photos would end up on the internet.
If he opened his eyes now, his entire face would be recorded, and he would undoubtedly be the subject of ridicule from people he knew.
He could already picture the headlines: "A Look at the Unlucky Moments of Audience Members" would feature him prominently.
Keeping his eyes shut was better; some people looked different with their eyes open or closed, so he could always deny it later.
He couldn't open his eyes, absolutely not. Just send me straight to the hospital... The man kept his eyes closed, his inner turmoil hidden behind a blank expression.
"Healing Light."
At that moment, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
Healing Light? The man's thoughts paused, and then he felt a wave of incredibly soothing energy spread throughout his body.
Could it be... The man had already guessed from the surrounding screams of "Aaaaah!"
His heart raced, and he cautiously opened one eye, only to see Icechill, the familiar that had grown in his heart.
The man: "!!"
The next second, Icechill disappeared.
The man: "!!!!"
"Uncle, are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked after putting Lulu back in the Beastmaster Codex.
The man didn't get up but opened his eyes with great effort, his voice weak. "I'm not okay. I need to see Icechill's match to feel better."
The crowd around him immediately showed deep respect!
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
Ji Hui Tatta was recalled by Shao Liben, and Qiao Sang returned to the field.
The second match, which was the last match of the Regional Tournament, began soon after.
Before announcing the summoning of familiars, the holographic screen gave a close-up of the man who had been hit.
The audience cheered, and the man waved in a dignified manner.
Qiao Sang: "..."
At this moment, Shao Liben had already regained his composure.
Although he never approached a match with the intention of losing, he now only had one Intermediate Pet Beast, Ash Firefox. Claiming he still had a chance to win was somewhat self-deception.
If he lost, so be it. He would do his best, and that was all that mattered... Shao Liben exhaled, no longer dwelling on it.
"Please both summon your next familiars!" Yi Ao announced with enthusiasm.
As soon as the words were spoken, the background music became intense and stirring.
In the close-up of the holographic screen, Qiao Sang paused for a moment before summoning Lulu.
