[I just heard that Qiao Sang is attending the Imperial Beastmaster Academy!]
As time ticks on, it reaches nine in the morning.
The host steps onto the stage, greets the audience, introduces the guests, and after going through all the procedures, finally gets to the main event:
"Next, we’ll proceed with the pairing for the top 108 advancing to the top 54! Let’s welcome the judge from the notary office!"
A giant virtual screen appears out of nowhere in the venue.
Everyone stops their conversation and focuses on the screen and Fen Tongji.
"Fen, Fen."
Fen Tongji steps into the arena, splits into two, as his head floats towards the center of the giant virtual screen, merging into it.
Photos of all contestants start to shuffle rapidly, mixing up.
After about ten seconds, the photos pair up two by two, freezing on the screen.
Qiao Sang glimpses at the third pair and sees her own photo.
Nice, competing all three times on the first day, so she won’t be harassed by malice during night rest... Qiao Sang feels at ease and starts viewing her opponent.
However, when she sees the opponent’s photo, the smile that had just started to form drops again.

No luck meeting opponents who would send out High-level Pet Beasts... Qiao Sang sighs inwardly.
A General-level Pet Beast, even at the initial stage, would be sure loss for Qingbao.
As thoughts flicker, staff members approach, respectfully reporting the names of the top three paired contestants, inviting them backstage to prepare.
Qiao Sang gets up and heads backstage with the group.
This time, instead of waiting directly in the backstage waiting area, she goes to a vacant corner.
"Qingbao," Qiao Sang calls out.
"Qingqing." Qingbao appears.
"The next opponent will send out the weakest, but it will still be a General-level Pet Beast," Qiao Sang shares the opponent’s situation.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao is taken aback.
What does this mean?
Not going to compete?
Qingbao seems to understand something, revealing a disappointed expression.
The wind around blows fiercely at the same time.
Qiao Sang’s hair flies, her face resolute as she continues:
