Chapter 459: A Letter?
Chapter 459: A Letter?
Looking at the match results, although it was expected, the audience was still extremely excited.
"This Ghost-type Companion Beast is amazing, it even knows a Skill like Cursed Luck!"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. The Ironhead Rhino was coughing nonstop just now because of Cursed Luck, right?"
"This is the first time I've seen a Ghost-type Companion Beast use Cursing Skills. Just a glance and it's done; how can anyone defend against that?"
"Are all Cursing Skills like that? They take effect right after they're used?"
"Not always. The last time I saw a Mist Ghost use a Cursing Skill, it went through the target's body, and it took about ten minutes to take effect."
"Where did you see that?"
"Hehe, last time I was scammed out of 2000 bucks by someone I knew. When I reported it, the police said the amount wasn't enough to file a case. I was so angry that I rented a Mist Ghost to curse the person who scammed me."
"Renting a Mist Ghost costs more than 2000, right?"
"Don't remind me!"
"……"
……
Contestant Area.
"Do you have a chance against her?" The man asking the question was at least 1.9 meters tall, his muscles bulging, exuding a sense of strength.
"We can only win one match by trading two for one, but ultimately, we'll lose", the boy beside him said. Despite wearing a loose school uniform, his athletic build was still evident.
"What a wimp", the man said, dissatisfied.
Though he was unhappy, the man didn't say anything more. He knew this was the best outcome they could achieve.
……
On the other side.
A man dressed in a simple, forest-inspired style sighed.
"At 15, she has three High-Class Beast Companions. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed there could be such a prodigy in the world."
The boy beside him, wearing black-rimmed glasses, twitched his lips. "You said the same thing to me before."
The man smiled.
"Your talent and hers are different. She excels in Beast Mastery, while you have a Mechanical Aptitude. A Beastmaster needs both their own talent and their familiar's talent to raise a powerful familiar. But you can achieve it with just your own talent by focusing all your energy on it. You could raise a powerful Mechanical Pet."
"You managed to raise a High-Class Mechanical Pet in your sophomore year. Qiao Sang couldn't do that."
"Then do you think I can beat her?" the boy with the black-rimmed glasses asked.
The man thought for a moment, then decided to change the subject.
"What do you want to eat later?"
The boy: "……"
……
At the same time, a middle-aged man sitting in the back row, dressed in a high-end suit, sat up straight with a computer on his knees and said:
"Ghost Ring Specter, those with high talent will Awaken Cursing Skills during Evolution. A Variant Familiar, indeed, stands out in certain aspects."
He was looking at the Ghost Ring Specter's data, and as soon as the information appeared, he noticed the differences between the Ghost Ring Specter on the field and a regular one.
"Variant Familiar?" The young man sitting on his left, exuding an air of nobility, looked at the gray figure floating above the girl's head.
"More accurately, it's Partial Albinism", the man said. "This Ghost Ring Specter mainly relies on controlling. The recently Awakened Psychic Hammer and Cursed Luck are both at the Novice level, so their power isn't significant."
"Cursed Luck doesn't immediately make the target unlucky. Instead, something unfortunate will happen within a certain period. At the Novice level, it means something unlucky will happen within a day."
"The Ironhead Rhino was just extremely unlucky. The chance of a curse taking effect immediately after it's cast is very low. When you face Qiao Sang, don't worry about the Ghost Ring Specter's Cursed Luck. Just focus on attacking."
The young man withdrew his gaze and replied calmly, "Understood."
The young man withdrew his gaze and replied calmly, "Understood."
The man looked at the young man and suddenly became serious.
"She has three High-Class Beast Companions, but the National School Beastmaster League is a 2v2 match. Even with three High-Class Beast Companions, she can only send out two to fight. You are one of the only two competitors in the National Championship who has two High-Class Beast Companions. There's a chance to win, so don't let me or your family down, okay?"
The boy remained silent for a moment, then spoke with a serious tone:
"I won't lose."
...
A few rows ahead, a middle-aged man with black hair streaked with silver, looking to be in his fifties, had a stern expression:
"Everyone else has three High-Class Beast Companions, and you still haven't made up your mind?"
Beside him, a rather handsome boy hesitated, "I already won the national championship in my sophomore year. This time, even if I don't win the championship, it's actually..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The middle-aged man interrupted harshly. "If you have a chance to win again and don't, how can you be so foolish!"
"But my Pare Lulu's Energy Level hasn't reached its limit yet. If I make it Evolve now, its future growth potential will be affected!" The boy, thinking of his familiar, mustered the courage to argue back.
"You only have one year left in your junior year, and only one chance to win the National Championship Senior Division. If you win, you'll have better resources when you become a space exchange student."
"Once you have a higher platform, you'll have the opportunity to access truly rare materials. Then, you won't miss the chance to find those treasures that can enhance Pare Lulu's potential."
The boy looked conflicted and said with difficulty, "Let me think about it a bit more."
...
6:23 PM.
Moting Hotel, 15th Floor.
Familiar Training Field.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker screamed beside Lulu.
Lulu remained unperturbed, even a bit annoyed, and wanted to cover her ears.
"Icechill."
It shook its head at its Beastmaster.
"Xun..."
The Treasure Seeker wore an expression of disbelief.
How could the Scary Face have no effect at all... Qiao Sang pondered, "Treasure Seeker, try it on Fangy."
The Treasure Seeker nodded and teleported to Fangy, who was immersed in training, and let out an even shriller scream:
"Xun!!"
The sound waves rolled into Fangy's ears.
"Ya!"
Fangy's fur bristled, and it instinctively swiped a claw at the source of the sound.
"Slap!"
The unprepared Treasure Seeker fell to the ground and rolled several meters.
"Xun..."
"Icechill." Injuries during training were common, and Lulu nonchalantly cast a Healing Light on the Treasure Seeker.
"Xun!"
The blue light dissipated, and the Treasure Seeker was fully revived.
It seems the Scary Face skill is most effective when the target is unprepared. However, Lulu's lack of reaction might be due to its strong emotional control and the fact that it Evolves through emotional fluctuations... Qiao Sang silently analyzed the Scary Face training.
At that moment, a gray-black familiar with red eyes and a small horn on its nose tip suddenly floated in from outside the large panoramic window.
"Lili." The gray-black familiar, seemingly recognizing Qiao Sang, floated directly to her and handed her a letter.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "For me?"
"Lili." The gray-black familiar nodded and then turned to float back out the window.
Who would suddenly send me a letter... Qiao Sang curiously opened the letter:
[Hello, I'm Yu Ke, the person who sat next to you at the last auction. I was wondering if you'd be interested in chatting sometime. If you are, you can add me.]
[My contact information is 150099...]
