Chapter 457: Three High-Class Beast Companions?
Chapter 457: Three High-Class Beast Companions? (Suggested to be read with tomorrow's chapter!)
The holographic screen zoomed in on the unconscious Fire Swallowbird.
The referee's mechanical pet floated into the deep pit for a quick inspection, then blew the end-of-match whistle.
The audience stands erupted in a roar, with many people leaping to their feet in shock.
Advanced Skills have always been a hot topic at the National Campus Beastmaster League.
By the final stages of the National Championship, every contestant's High-Class Beast Companion's Advanced Skills are usually well-known.
Those who made it to the National Championship had to pull out all their stops to get this far. No one expected that at the 66-to-33 stage, a contestant would still have hidden Advanced Skills!
The most shocking part was that this contestant was none other than the youngest, Qiao Sang!
"Destroying Beam! That Blazing Star Hound can actually use Destroying Beam!"
"Qiao Sang is too incredible! Is she really only 15?!"
"Let alone 15, I'm 51 and I can't even raise a familiar like that!"
"This Blazing Star Hound is way too cool!"
"Song Xinyue is really unlucky. I thought she would win the first match, but she got completely crushed."
In the first row of the Vip section, Minister Huang of the Lianbo Region couldn't hide his disappointment. In his view, Song Xinyue still had a chance to win.
While Destroying Beam is undoubtedly powerful, it requires significant focus and takes time to cast. Additionally, the user is immobile after casting it.
As a fire-type and flying-type High-Class Beast Companion, the Fire Swallowbird's speed and reaction time are unquestionable. However, it didn't even suffer serious injuries and was taken down in just a few turns by a direct hit from Destroying Beam.
Ultimately, the gap between the contestants was too large.
Minister Zhao from the Tuwai Region, who was on good terms with Minister Huang, noticed his silence and spoke up:
"Song Xinyue reacted quickly, though. When she saw all those Blazing Star Hounds, I was as shocked as she was. I only snapped out of it after she shouted 'Flame Dance.' Unfortunately, she met Qiao Sang, who calculated everything perfectly and timed the use of Destroying Beam just right."
"Yes", Minister Huang sighed. "She was certain that Song Xinyue's attention would be on the Clones."
Minister Zhao added:
"Anyone seeing so many Clones for the first time would be shocked. To be honest, Qiao Sang is just too extraordinary. I thought her Ghost-type Companion Beasts' Spatial Shift was already impressive, but who would have thought she had an even more astonishing Blazing Star Hound?"
Minister Huang said solemnly:
"Actually, the most impressive thing is her Battle Awareness. The proficiency of that Destroying Beam should be at the Small Success level. Casting Destroying Beam is different from other Skills; it requires absolute focus to release."
"While the Clones were still around, the Blazing Star Hound had to split its focus to control them. So she chose to give the command to cast Destroying Beam when the last Clone disappeared. At that point, the Blazing Star Hound was already prepared, and the disappearance of the last Clone allowed it to focus entirely on Destroying Beam. The energy that was previously divided among the Clones also returned to some extent."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that someone could think so much through, and she's just a high school student."
Minister Zhou from the Yuhua Region then chimed in with a grin: "She's from our region."
Minister Huang: "……"
Minister Zhao: "……"
……
In the Contestant Area.
Liu Yao was silent for a long time before asking, "When did Qiao Sang's Blazing Star Hound learn Destroying Beam?"
Sun Boyi looked dazed. "I don't know…"
Liu Yao fell silent again. "And when did her Blazing Star Hound's Shadow Clones reach Master-level?"
Sun Boyi paused. "I don't know..."
Liu Yao glanced at him, thinking to herself, What do you know about anything?
Sun Boyi keenly sensed the implication in Vice Principal Liu's gaze, and he suddenly snapped out of it:
Damn! It seems like I really don't know anything!
……
"Yah!"
On the field, Fangy was over the moon, his chin held high.
Another stylish day!
Qiao Sang waved her hand, summoning Fangy back into the Beastmaster Codex.
Why did she summon him back? Is she not planning to use the Blazing Star Hound in the next match? If that's the case, then... that would be great! Seeing this, Song Xinyue felt a weight lift off her chest.
After the previous battle, she really didn't want to face the Blazing Star Hound again!
"Chu!"
At that moment, the referee blew the whistle, signaling the summoning of a familiar.
"Phew..."
Song Xinyue exhaled, trying to relax.
The green and gray Star Arrays lit up once more.
Meanwhile, the audience stands were buzzing with chatter.
"Qiao Sang, which familiar do you think she'll summon this time?"
"Probably the Blazing Star Hound again. I read a post on the Forum about Qiao Sang. She usually only uses one familiar when facing the same opponent."
"Then why did she summon the Blazing Star Hound back just now?"
"Maybe for some kind of ritual?"
"Ritual my ass. I think Qiao Sang will summon a Ghost-type Companion Beast. After all, Song Xinyue only has one Intermediate Beast left. Using the Blazing Star Hound again would be too boring."
"It's the National Championship. What's the point? Winning is the only goal."
"To be honest, I'd like to see Icechill. I heard it's a rare familiar."
"But I still want to see the Blazing... Damn!" The boy's eyes widened as he saw one of the familiars on the field, stammering, "I, I remember Qiao Sang's Ghost-type Companion Beast didn't look like this. It, it must have evolved, right?"
However, no one answered him. Almost everyone was stunned, their minds buzzing.
The Vip area was no different. Even the usually calm and collected Minister Yan had a blank expression.
Qiao Sang's Treasure Hunter Demon, as an Intermediate Beast, not only had a high proficiency in Shadow Control but also had a Psychic Attribute. The combination of these two buffs left a deep impression on everyone the last time it appeared.
The gray figure on the field, while somewhat similar to the Treasure Hunter Demon, was clearly not the same as the last time.
The Treasure Hunter Demon had evolved...
Realizing this, the crowd erupted, and everyone lost control.
If it were anyone else, the reaction wouldn't have been so intense.
But this was Qiao Sang.
"Ah! Anyone from Yuhua Region, tell me! Is this an evolution? Is it?!"
"No way! My brain is fried. So, Qiao Sang now has three High-Class Companion Beasts?!"
"Damn, this is ridiculous!"
"Three High-Class Companion Beasts. Is she even human?!"
"Absolutely shocking! Qiao Sang is only a sophomore! How the hell did she do this?!"
The students in the gray school uniforms, sitting in a row, had frozen expressions and silently lowered the banners they had just raised.
At a time like this, they couldn't bring themselves to cheer or anything!
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
The crowd from Holy Water High School, snapping out of their shock, immediately burst into cheers, standing up and shouting Qiao Sang's name at the top of their lungs, their faces turning red with the effort. Even Jin Fanfei, who was usually the most socially awkward, joined in.
"Hello~"
On the field, the Treasure Seeker felt the atmosphere and enthusiastically waved its paw at the audience stands.
The Ironhead Rhino, a Steel and Ground-type Intermediate Beast, was the epitome of toughness. It would be a good test for the Treasure Seeker's Psychic Hammer... Qiao Sang thought to herself as she looked at the deep brown, steel-encased rhinoceros familiar in front of her.
