Whenever it came to the stage of the regional contest, qualifiers from various areas would basically form groups.
It was for the purpose of exchanging and sharing intelligence.
Despite being an individual Beast Taming competition, in the regional contests, each person would still prioritize classifying competitors from other areas as part of the enemy camp.
However, information wasn’t shared for free, and it was mostly exchanged.
If someone felt a particular person in the group was their natural counter or a greater threat, they naturally wouldn’t share information readily.
In the end, the individual Beast Taming contest meant that all the others in the group were opponents.
In past National Campus Beast Taming Leagues, it was only after arriving in the other regions that proposals to share information emerged.
Before Qiao Sang joined the group, everyone was still in a wait-and-see state.
But as soon as Qiao Sang appeared, the people in the group couldn’t hold back.
There was no helping it, the only Liaoxing Dog at present and the endangered Binglu Qia were simply too tempting.
Of course, Qiao Sang, who was participating in the regional contest for the first time, hadn’t thought that much about it.
At the moment, she was accepting friend requests one by one, looking through dozens of documents that had been sent over.
...
[I just can’t bring myself to do it!]
In the group of qualifiers from the Ancient Mist Region, Qin Shuoran rapidly sent this message.
The group was created today, and the discussion had been all about Qiao Sang from the Yuhua Region.
[I freaking can’t do it either!]
The others in the group replied one after another:
[Attack a Binglu Qia? Are you insane?]
[Damn it! Why did someone from the Yuhua Region contract our endangered pet beast?]
[Actually, I kind of want to battle the Binglu Qia, at least I’d get to see it up close]
[What do you think will happen if Qiao Sang from the Yuhua Region knows this and uses the Binglu Qia against us when we compete?]
The group suddenly fell silent for a while.
[I’ve seen Qiao Sang’s competition, and actually, the Binglu Qia is the weakest of her pet beasts...]
[Huh...]
[I’ve seen her competition too, her strongest pet beast is a high-level one named Liaoxing Dog, with both fire and psychic series elements]
[Fire mixed with psychic series sounds really expensive. It seems Qiao Sang is pretty wealthy. Just thinking about the Binglu Qia in such good conditions at home makes me relieved]
[Me too]

[...we’ve met the nemesis in our region]
...
The next morning, Hangkang Yi’an International Airport.
"Remember to call me when you get there," Ye Xiangting said warmly.
Even though she clearly knew her daughter was going to the Ancient Mist Region for the competition and was accompanied by teachers, she still felt somewhat worried at this moment.
"I will," Qiao Sang nodded and said.
"Don’t worry, Mrs. Qiao," Sun Boyi added seriously from the side: "I’ll take good care of her. I promise she won’t lose a single hair during the competition."
"Do you usually lose hair when you comb it?" Xu Yixuan whispered to Qiao Sang.
It felt somewhat wrong for her to travel first class while Xu Yixuan and Teacher Sun had to endure a ten-hour economy flight, so Qiao Sang went to the check-in counter to handle the upgrades.
"I love you for this!" Xu Yixuan revealed a big, white smile, "I’ll treat you to a meal in the Ancient Mist Region!"
Sun Boyi, sitting on the other side, turned and chuckled, "When we reach the Ancient Mist Region, don’t wander off. If you want to eat something good, I’ll join you. It makes no sense for you to be treating when the teacher is present."
The three of them then chatted idly for a bit.
Once the plane had taken off, Qiao Sang looked out the window.
During take-off, Beast Tamers were not allowed to summon their pet beasts. freeweɓnøvel.com
Without Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao beside her, Qiao Sang felt an unusual sense of loneliness for the first time in a while...
By evening, Qiao Sang had adjusted her first-class seat into a flat position.
She closed her eyes and pondered over the data she had organized the day before.
Dozens of documents collected by different people had somewhat similar content, yet there were also differences.
For example, concerning a contender from the Misty Water Region named Qin Shuoran, about twenty documents said his high-level pet beast, happily named Sea Lion, had two high-level skills—Steam Explosion being one of them, which he had mastered to a minor degree.
However, a few other documents claimed the Sea Lion’s Steam Explosion had actually reached a major level of mastery.
In such cases, when Qiao Sang organized the data, she considered the Sea Lion’s Steam Explosion to be at a major level of mastery.
Then there was Yuan Xiaotian from the Xilü Area. In thirty-one documents, only one mentioned that his high-level pet beast, Heal-Heal Flower Bud, possessed the feature Chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll, during clear skies, would double the speed ability.
Even though the other thirty files didn’t mention it, Qiao Sang still included Chlorophyll in her organized data.
There’s a saying: always regard your opponent as incredibly strong.
After reviewing the data of all the participants in the division tournament in her mind, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think about Lubao’s situation.
Given Lubao’s description, it was certain she wouldn’t be found, but with Extraordinary Creatures being so miraculous, she wondered if there might be some skill that could help restore memories from the past...
