Chapter 446: Shouyao Beast Arena
Chapter 446: Shouyao Beast Arena
Shouyao Beast Arena.
At this moment, at the Battlefield Entrance, various large Flying Beasts were gathered.
The main transportation route in Hollow Plains was through the air, so Flying Beasts were the most common.
Here, a large Flying Beast didn't necessarily mean a high level; it could simply be a species whose body size was several times larger than the average Flying Type.
Such large Flying Beasts were particularly popular during the annual school matches, especially at the National Campus Beastmaster League Finals.
By the time the National Championship rolled around, hundreds of media outlets would gather at the entrance, with numerous reporters filming live broadcasts. A striking large Flying Beast could quickly catch everyone's attention, and it was also more impressive for reporters to disembark from an uncommonly large Flying Beast.
"Look what I see here! An Adamantium Throne!" A male reporter with slightly curly hair and a refined appearance held a microphone and watched as a large, mostly silver-gray Flying Beast slowly landed. He exclaimed loudly, "Which school could possibly ride an Adamantium Throne here?!"
The camera crew followed the reporter's gaze and panned to the nearby silver-gray Flying Beast.
As students dressed in matching school uniforms began to jump off the Adamantium Throne, the male reporter's excitement grew.
"They're coming down, they're coming down! That school uniform belongs to Aubrey Beastmaster High School!"
"Aubrey Beastmaster High School is our local high school in Hollow Plains! Last year, in the National School Beastmaster League, students from the sophomore to junior years advanced to the National Championship. This year, the senior division's National Championship qualifier is Chen Chao, who placed 18th nationally in the sophomore division last year!"
"What will his performance be like this year?"
Soon, another Flying Beast that had just landed caught his attention.
"Wow! A Pearl White Eagle!" The male reporter was visibly excited. "This must be a familiar from the Guri region. Could the students riding it be from a school in the Guri region?"
Before the reporter could identify which school the students from the Pearl White Eagle belonged to, a four-legged familiar with two pairs of magnificent orange-yellow wings, a long tail, and three protective shells covering its chin and abdomen, along with three small triangular wings on each side of its head, suddenly descended from the sky.
Dust flew up, and a powerful airflow swirled around it.
Despite the rapid descent, the students on its back remained completely unruffled, not a single hair out of place.
All the reporters turned their attention to the newcomer.
The male reporter instantly forgot about the Pearl White Eagle and, with an excited expression, introduced the familiar with two pairs of magnificent orange-yellow wings:
"A Dual-Winged Boradragon! Besides our Imperial Capital Zhishang Beastmaster High School in Hollow Plains, I can't think of any other school that could have such a grand entrance, with students riding a Dual-Winged Boradragon to the match site!"
The camera zoomed in on the students dismounting from the Dual-Winged Boradragon. The boys were dressed in deep blue suits with a golden school emblem on the right chest, paired with white shirts and bow ties. The girls wore deep blue dresses with white collars and bow ties. The intricate design of their school uniforms stood out sharply from those of students from other schools.
"Sure enough, it's Imperial Capital Zhishang Beastmaster High School! Last year's National School Beastmaster League senior division champion was from Imperial Capital Zhishang Beastmaster High School! I wonder if this year's champion will be from their school again!"
"This year, Zhao Chuanyu from Imperial Capital Zhishang Beastmaster High School has qualified as the Zone Champion from the Zhongkong, Tuwai, and Zhongdao regions."
Everyone was now focused on the students from Imperial Capital Zhishang Beastmaster High School as they dismounted from the Dual-Winged Boradragon. No one noticed the medium-sized Flying Beast with a mostly gray body that had just landed behind them.
"Here we are. That's 522 yuan. Cash or scan?" the woman on the Gray Flying Beast asked.
"Let's scan." Sun Boyi took out his mobile phone.
After paying, the three of them headed towards the entrance.
Qiao Sang looked around.
She saw students in matching school uniforms walking in groups, and it seemed she was the only one wearing her own school's uniform.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why do students from every school seem to be here in such large numbers?"
Sun Boyi thought for a moment and replied, "They're probably all here to watch the match."
Isn't that obvious? If they're not here to watch, are they here to compete? Qiao Sang thought to herself, rephrasing her question, "Why are students from other regions also here? It's not a weekend, so getting leave should be difficult, right?"
Although she didn't recognize which regions the students in different school uniforms were from, she knew that not everyone present could be from Hollow Plains High Schools. The distances between regions were vast, and while it was understandable for students from Hollow Plains to come watch the match, it seemed exaggerated that students from other regions would also be here. After all, getting leave from high school was notoriously difficult, and a round trip to watch a single match would probably require at least three days off.
Sun Boyi smiled and said, "It's not unusual for students to take leave to watch a match when one of their schoolmates makes it to the National Championship. After all, this is the National Championship."
Qiao Sang remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are there any students from our school here?"
Sun Boyi was speechless for a moment.
Liu Yao, standing beside him, paused and then took out her mobile phone to quietly type a message.
...
Since its establishment, Holy Water High School had never achieved a better result in the National School Beastmaster League Individual Combat Team than a regional tournament ranking. No one from their school had ever advanced to the National Championship, so they had no idea what it was like for other schools to participate.
In the audience stands, students from various schools and regions held banners of different colors and enthusiastically shouted their prepared cheers.
Almost every participant's name in the National Championship had been called, but Qiao Sang's name was conspicuously absent.
Sun Boyi sat in the contestant area, looking awkward. This was his first time bringing a student to the National Championship, and he hadn't expected this situation.
He couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy when he thought about how all the other contestants would have groups of their schoolmates cheering for them, while Qiao Sang would be alone.
Qiao Sang, however, didn't seem to mind. She took a look around the venue.
It was an open-air arena, with people sitting densely on all sides. However, the entire battlefield was only about half the size of the one used for the Regional Tournament in the Ancient Fog Region.
It wasn't that Hollow Plains didn't take the National Championship seriously; it was just that the Ancient Fog Region had been overly enthusiastic about the Regional Tournament and used their best venue for it.
The Shouyao Beast Arena was typically used for large matches involving high school and university students, so it was a standard size.
"Yaoyao!"
At that moment, a small, mostly brown-and-white Flying Beast flew by with a basket in its claws, filled with various drinks and snacks. A QR code hung around its neck, and it called out as it passed by Qiao Sang.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the brown-and-white Flying Beast with his claw.
"Yaoyao!"
The brown-and-white Flying Beast, being quite perceptive, immediately turned around and flew back to Qiao Sang.
"Fangy."
Fangy looked at the various snacks in the basket, his expression saying, "I can't decide which one to choose."
"Let's get them all", Qiao Sang said.
Fangy: "!!!"
"Yaoyao!"
The brown-and-white Flying Beast let out an excited call and adjusted its flight height to show the QR code to Qiao Sang.
