Chapter 60: Chapter 56: The Strong Pig
Qiao Sang didn’t want these external comments to affect the Fire-Toothed Dog’s mood.
As long as the Fire-Toothed Dog felt happy, that was enough.
Qiao Sang’s attention returned to the TV.
On the screen, two enormous Pet Beasts were fiercely battling each other.
The score was already 5–4, it was the match point.
Qiao Sang had been watching the Interstellar Cup competition on time tonight, as it related to her financial issues, and she had been watching until now.
The person who took the lead and reached the match point at this moment was Chen Mo.
Watching Pasuoer’s Pet Beast, the Phantom Flame Dragon, overpowering Chen Mo’s Dual-Head Gear Dragon, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but tense up.
She picked up the Fire-Toothed Dog, which was busy re-appreciating its own performance on the phone, and held it close.
“Quick, cheer for that Phantom Flame Dragon.”
“Ya?”
The Fire-Toothed Dog tilted its head.
“It’s the Pet Beast of the Beast Tamer you picked yesterday,” Qiao Sang explained.
“Ya!”
The Fire-Toothed Dog understood and raised its paw.
“Ya Ya!”
“Ya Ya!”
“Ya!”
Twenty minutes later, Qiao Sang watched with satisfaction as the Dual-Head Gear Dragon turned the tables and won the match.
…
…
The next day.
In her usual spot in Zone C, Qiao Sang saw Bai Yunmiao, who had returned to her daily attire.
“Don’t tell me you came specially to watch my match,” said Qiao Sang, holding the Fire-Toothed Dog and sitting down next to her in a teasing tone.
“Haha, I did come especially to watch you,” laughed Bai Yunmiao.
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.
The location of the Bai Xinsai competition was in Hunter Park, situated in the suburbs. Although it was close to the city, it still took a lot of time to come from the downtown area.
Those who lost the competition basically didn’t want to waste their time coming here again.
That was how Fang Sisi did it initially.
Qiao Sang hadn’t expected Bai Yunmiao, whom she hadn’t known for long, to be willing to spend time to come and watch her compete…
Qiao Sang was moved and was just about to say something.
Bai Yunmiao spoke, “Actually, it’s because my parents started arguing, and I didn’t want to stay at home, so I came here instead.”
Qiao Sang: “…”
So much for being moved…
“What’s wrong with your parents?” Qiao Sang asked.
“They were talking this morning, and the conversation moved to my future,” Bai Yunmiao replied. “My mom wants me to become a coordinator, whereas my dad wants me to be a Professional Beast Tamer—that’s how the argument started.”
Qiao Sang said, “That should depend on your own wishes, right?”
Bai Yunmiao made a face. “I haven’t decided; I’m just going into my senior year of high school. College is a year away, and I haven’t even started thinking about this issue yet.”
Feeling uncertain about the future plans is an issue many high school students face.
In the past world, high school students just needed to focus on their grades and, after the college entrance exams, they could choose their majors based on their scores.
But in this Beast Taming society, it is necessary to plan ahead.
“Is your Spray Gold Vine about to evolve?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Yes,” Bai Yunmiao sighed.
Qiao Sang understood.
No wonder her parents had gotten into an argument over this issue.
Spray Gold Vine has two evolutionary forms.
One is called Wither Vine, which has strong combat strength and may even learn a skill to absorb energy that both harms the target and heals itself.
But its body is covered with wrinkled skin like that of a toad.
If one wants to use Wither Vine to become a coordinator and participate in coordination competitions, 99% would be eliminated in the first round of the preliminaries.
After all, coordinators base their battles on the appearance of their Pet Beasts and the grandeur of their skills.
Wither Vine certainly doesn’t qualify in terms of appearance.
Its other evolutionary form, Sweetbind Vine, can emit a beguiling fragrance, and its pink leaves wrap around its body like a grass skirt, looking very endearing.
However, its attack strength is extremely weak. It’s quite unrealistic to use it to pass the Alliance’s assessments to become a higher-ranked Beast Tamer.
“Chaa!”
The all-white Pet Beast flexed its arms, showcasing its well-developed muscles on both sides.
Qiao Sang: “…”
It was actually a Might-Swine…
This didn’t match its Beast Tamer’s image at all!
Qiao Sang completely failed to realize that her Fire-Toothed Dog in front of her, which was grinning provocatively at the Might-Swine while wearing sunglasses, also clashed with her image.
The two Beast Tamers stood quietly.
Their Pet Beasts, however, were locked in an intense staring duel.
As soon as the referee signaled for the match to begin.
The girl with the hat and Qiao Sang simultaneously gave the command to charge.
The Fire-Toothed Dog and the Might-Swine, who had already locked eyes for eight hundred rounds, were ready to burst.
Following their respective Beast Tamers’ commands, they both charged at each other at the same time.
One could say that both had tremendous momentum.
The two Pet Beasts collided without mercy, neither showing any sign of retreat.
The next second, the Might-Swine was sent flying.
The Fire-Toothed Dog stood its ground, wearing a cool expression, and casually lifted its triangular sunglasses with a paw.
“The Might-Swine is unable to fight, player Qiao Sang wins,” the referee declared the result.
“Piggy!”
The girl with the hat ran towards the Might-Swine with a cry in her voice.
Qiao Sang felt somewhat guilty.
They had agreed to go easy…
She didn’t expect the Might-Swine to be knocked out so easily…
The Fire-Toothed Dog’s experience with charging could indeed be said to be quite rich.
It wore the Weighted Ring every day and practiced charging against a tree.
So knocking out a primary Pet Beast now was normal.
But the opponent was a Combat Series Pet Beast known for its strength.
This felt a bit abnormal…
