Chapter 475: National Championship Semifinals
Chapter 475: National Championship Semifinals
Fangy's data soon appeared before her.
Every match from now on was crucial, and she needed to be fully prepared.
The semifinal was scheduled for the evening, and the venue was an outdoor arena. With Fangy's Moonlight Power trait, his performance under the moonlight would be twice as effective as usual, giving him the highest chance of winning.
To be on the safe side, she decided to use the Golden Finger one more time. If it didn’t work, she’d have to slap herself.
However, when Qiao Sang looked at the data, she was momentarily at a loss on how to proceed.
Sometimes, it wasn’t about using as many Skills as possible; it was about using a few highly proficient Skills that could be effectively combined.
Otherwise, randomly using Skills would only waste energy.
For example, the Blast Ball she encountered today—no matter how many Skills she used, none were as effective as a single Self-Destruct.
Currently, Fangy’s Skills—Flame Fang, Spark, Shadow Clone, Blazing Charge, Mars Rain, and Psychic Power—were all at the Mastery level.
Apart from Zhao Chuanyu’s Red Urgent Dragon, whose age and strength were unknown, she was confident that no other familiar in the National Championship could match Fangy’s offensive power.
In fact, Fangy’s Master-level Skills were more than enough for the competition.
However, Qiao Sang felt it was better to have a backup plan.
Among Fangy’s other Skills, the most powerful were Destructive Beam and Hellfire.
However, both had been used in matches before, and their proficiency couldn’t be easily increased.
Adding too many Points at once would make the improvement too noticeable and could raise suspicions.
Qiao Sang pondered this internally.
It would be better to add Points to Skills that hadn’t been used much and were less known to others.
Looking at the data, she finally settled on Phantom Flame.
Phantom Flame was an Advanced Skill. Although it wasn’t as powerful as Destructive Beam or Hellfire, its invisibility gave it a significant advantage in battles.
She didn’t need to raise its proficiency too high; just to the Small Success level would be sufficient for the match.
After all, in the National School Beastmaster League, the High-Class Beast Companions that appeared typically had Advanced Skills at the Small Success level.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang didn’t hesitate. She concentrated and rapidly added Points to Phantom Flame.
...
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, her consciousness returning to reality. She saw Fangy practicing Psychic Power with Gravity Beads, while Lulu occasionally produced sharp ice spikes to practice Ice Spikes.
Only Treasure Seeker, taking advantage of her immersion in the Beastmaster Codex, was playing on her mobile phone.
Qiao Sang instinctively worried: Getting addicted to the mobile phone isn’t a good sign...
“Looking at what?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker floated to Qiao Sang with the mobile phone, pointing at a piece of text.
Qiao Sang looked at the phone and was surprised: “You’re looking at trending topics?”
“Xun~”
Treasure Seeker nodded.
Qiao Sang found it amusing and asked, “Can you understand it?”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker made a “a little bit” gesture with its claws.
Qiao Sang didn’t quite believe it and pointed to the trending topic #Gaga Monster Smoking#, asking, “What does this say?”
“Xun…”
Treasure Seeker tapped the trending topic with its claws and carefully read the photos and text that appeared.
Soon, it lifted its head and called out confidently, even gesturing as if putting something in its mouth.
"Xunxun!"
It was saying that this guy was eating!
Qiao Sang: "…"
So, you're guessing the meaning from the picture… Qiao Sang looked at the Treasure Seeker, who seemed to be curious about everything, and then thought of something. She asked:
"Do you want to go to school?"
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker immediately showed a terrified expression, shaking its head like a metronome.
Go to school?!
Of course not!
No one in their right mind would want to!
Qiao Sang almost burst out laughing at the Treasure Seeker's terrified look. "Do you know what school is?"
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker nodded.
Of course, it knew. It had always been invisible in the classroom before, and it was utterly boring.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat, almost forgetting that part.
Forget it, everything can wait until after the match.
"Xun…"
Seeing that her Beastmaster wasn't going to say anything more, the Treasure Seeker heaved a silent sigh of relief.
That was scary, almost had to go to school…
…
The next day, Qiao Sang woke up on time.
Ever since the replenishment, her biological clock had become even more precise… Qiao Sang sat up, picked up her mobile phone, and saw the time was 6:00 AM, which made her head hurt.
Once the match is over, winter break will start, but with this biological clock, how is she supposed to live… Qiao Sang grumbled to herself as she got up to wash and brush.
Then, she sat down at the desk and turned on her computer, writing down the strategies for the matches against Zhang Wandi, Tang Yi, and Zhao Chuanyu.
The semifinals were tonight, and since she was already awake, she might as well not waste the time.
Qiao Sang's fingers danced over the keyboard:
[Zhang Wandi, ace familiar: Giant Whale, thick-skinned and extremely durable.]
[Trait: Water Curtain, which protects it from being burned, and Trait: Oppressive Aura, which can intimidate opponents, especially those with low courage or low-level familiars, making them lose the will to fight.]
[Attributes and Traits are both strong against Fangy, but the Giant Whale's blowhole is a weakness. With the Moonlight Power boosting Fangy, focusing on the blowhole should do the trick…]
As she wrote this, she thought of something.
Actually, if the opponent in the semifinals was Zhang Wandi, there was no need to send Fangy out.
Fangy would have Moonlight Power at night, but it was still at a disadvantage in terms of attributes and Traits.
On second thought, sending Lulu would be the better choice…
For the rest of the morning, Qiao Sang worked on her computer, revising and modifying the strategies.
After the plans were finalized, Qiao Sang discussed the strategies with Fangy and the others.
She barely took a break except for meals.
When everything was done, she checked the time: it was 6:30 PM.
Perfect timing.
"Let's go!"
Qiao Sang returned Lulu to the Beastmaster Codex, picked up Fangy, and placed the Treasure Seeker on her head. She opened the door with high spirits.
…
First Radiance Pet Beast Battlefield.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.
In the air, Flying Beasts wearing Reporter badges hung cameras around their necks, holding them with their wings, and flashed their cameras at the host in the center of the arena.
"Everyone, welcome to the 336th National School Beastmaster League individual competition! I am your host, Yin Jiang, and welcome to all of you!"
"Through intense competition, we have determined the four national finalists."
"The peak battle of the universities, who will claim the glory, will take place today. In front of the entire nation, these four will compete in the semifinals of the National School Beastmaster League!"
"Who will advance to the final, and who will face each other tonight? Let's turn our attention to the big screen!"
