Qiao Sang’s tone was dangerous.
“Little Treasure!”
“Xun…”
Little Treasure weakly called out, indicating that he had only casually mentioned it yesterday…
“Yap?”
Yabao tilted his head in confusion after hearing their conversation.
Wasn’t Little Treasure right?
“Of course not!” Qiao Sang said as she lifted Little Treasure off her head.“Xun…”
Little Treasure revealed himself, blinking innocently, trying to get away with acting cute.
You think acting cute will get you off the hook…? Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, but in the end, her tone softened.
“If I trade this basket of food for your Diamond Gloves, would you agree to the exchange?”
“Xun xun!”
Little Treasure shook his head like a rattle drum. Of course not!
“That’s exactly it.”
Qiao Sang turned to Yabao and said earnestly, “See? Even Little Treasure won’t trade. Everything has different values, and not everything can be exchanged equally.”
“Yap yap…”
Yabao nodded, looking a little dejected.
Seeing his expression, Qiao Sang spoke gently, “If you want to compete, just tell me. You don’t need to go through all this trouble.”
“Yap yap…”
Yabao lifted his head and looked at Qiao Sang with big, wet eyes. So… could he participate today?
Qiao Sang responded seriously, “Of course.”
“Yap yap!”
Yabao immediately brightened up, wagging his tail wildly.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang finally got to her real point.
“So, don’t always listen to Little Treasure’s nonsense. He’s still young and doesn’t understand many things. As the older one, you should have your own judgment.”
“Yap!”
Yabao nodded seriously, then glanced at Little Treasure with a look that said, Why did I even listen to you in the first place?
Little Treasure: …
Qiao Sang smiled in satisfaction.
Yabao was such a simple-hearted kid. If he kept listening to Little Treasure like this, how was she supposed to trick him in the future? Thankfully, she had stopped this bad habit in time.

With the usual procedures completed, the matchups soon appeared on the virtual screen.
Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang VS Zhongkong Region, Wu Chongyu
Zhidiya Region, Zhou Shanliang VS Chongdao Region, Liu Yongming
Beilun Region, Tao Rong VS Chongdao Region, Zhang Wandi
Xilu Region, Shao Liben VS Zhongkong Region, Tang Yi
---
Zhongkong Region, Zhao Chuanyu VS Liaoxi Region, Cui Pingkun
---
A total of 9 matchups, plus competitors who re-entered from elimination, making it 18 contestants in total.
As the matchups were revealed, the arena grew noisy with chatter.
“This is intense! The first match is already a big showdown.”
“Whoa! The final match is Zhao Chuanyu against Cui Pingkun! We’re still in the round of 18, and they’re already paired up?!”
“Ahhh! Tao Rong is matched against Zhang Wandi! He’s our Beilun Region’s last remaining contestant! Will he be eliminated today?”
At this stage of the competition, all remaining contestants were well-known.
Out of Dragon Nation’s 13 regions, only 18 contestants remained. Some regions had just one last competitor, like Beilun’s Tao Rong and Yuhua’s Qiao Sang.
Usually, at this point, regions with only one remaining competitor would be under immense pressure.
However, Yuhua Region’s atmosphere seemed different this year.
“Zhongkong Region still has so many contestants. It’s time for Qiao Sang to thin them out!”
“Wu Chongyu, right? I know him, he has a mid-tier Dragon-type pet beast and a high-tier Electric-type pet beast. Not a big problem. I bet Qiao Sang will take them both down.”
“Whether she takes them both down or not doesn’t matter. Winning is enough. Wu Chongyu’s Ice Dragon may be mid-tier, but it’s on par with many high-tier pet beasts.”
“You just said it yourself, it’s on par with ordinary high-tier pet beasts. Now tell me, does any of Qiao Sang’s pet beasts look ordinary to you?”
“I didn’t say she can’t win. I just think we shouldn’t pressure her to take down both. Winning is enough.”
“Good point… Qiao Sang for the win!”

In the contestants’ area.
“Wu Chongyu has one high-tier…” Sun Boyi flipped through his notebook, preparing to give a detailed breakdown.
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang stood up and interrupted, “No time, I’m up first.”
She then turned and walked towards the contestant entrance.
“Ah…” Sun Boyi closed his notebook, letting out a long sigh as he watched Qiao Sang leave.
Why was it so hard to be useful?
Liu Yao, for once, comforted him.
“Whether you say it or not, it doesn’t change anything. Qiao Sang can look it up herself. And if it’s something like Tian Xiaoyun from last time, you wouldn’t have known either.”
Sun Boyi: …

On the other side.
“Teacher Li…” Wu Chongyu looked at the middle-aged man beside him, his face tense with nerves.
“Sigh…” The middle-aged man patted Wu Chongyu’s shoulder.
“Go on.”
Wu Chongyu: …
Say something more, will you?!
---
As the crowd erupted in cheers, Qiao Sang and Wu Chongyu stepped onto the stage.
Wu Chongyu looked at the girl in the distance, his palms sweaty with nerves.
This was really bad luck. He hadn’t even made it into the Top 10, and he was already facing Monster Qiao Sang…
Honestly, having three high-tier pet beasts wasn’t an impossible challenge in the National Campus Beast Mastering Championship’s 2v2 format. After all, there were differences even among high-tier beasts.
Evolution time, species potential, and natural abilities all influenced their strength.
A high-tier pet beast that had evolved for three years would obviously have a better chance of winning than one that had just evolved.
But the terrifying thing about Qiao Sang was that all three of her high-tier pet beasts had no weaknesses. Stamina, speed, burst power, reaction time, skill proficiency, and synergy with her, they were all flawless.
It was terrifying.
And now, he had to battle this monster…
Qu!
The whistle signaling the start of the match blew.
Just my luck. I’d rather have faced Zhao Chuanyu… Wu Chongyu let out a heavy breath and began forming hand seals.
A gray star formation and a green star formation lit up simultaneously.
Soon, the summoned pet beasts appeared within their respective formations.
Electric Slash Beast, a high-tier Electric-type pet beast. It had a violent temperament and explosive speed akin to lightning. When enraged, it discharged electricity from its mane in all directions.
Its abilities? Lightning Rod and Motor Drive, meaning if it got hit by Electric-type moves, it wouldn’t take damage. Instead, one ability would boost its Special Attack, while the other would increase its Speed.
Qiao Sang examined the beast before her, its yellow fur accented with numerous orange stripes, a sharp horn protruding from its forehead, and the powerful presence of a lion-tiger hybrid.
“Yap!”
“Electric!”
Yabao and the Electric Slash Beast bared their teeth at each other from afar.
Crackle…
Golden electricity danced across Electric Slash Beast’s body, its flowing mane billowing in the charged air.
Whoosh…
The flame-formed wings on Yabao’s back suddenly expanded, causing a wave of heat to surge around him. His red-and-white fur rippled wildly.
Judging by aura alone, neither side was willing to back down.
