Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 406 - 385: The Cub Pet Beast Breeding Shop

Chapter 406: Chapter 385: The Cub Pet Beast Breeding Shop

The second match was held 90 minutes later.

Wang Rui’s Pet Beast needed to recover and adjust its condition. Although superb medical techniques could heal its injuries quickly and restore its energy, if it had to compete immediately, its condition would definitely have a subtle disadvantage compared to Pet Beasts that hadn’t fought yet.

For fairness, the 90-minute adjustment was necessary.

If a Pet Beast was seriously injured, the rest time could be appropriately extended.

Time flew quickly.

Most of the audience stayed in their seats.

As the match approached, Wang Yixuan looked at the audience and wondered, "Why are so many people still here?"

Although he didn’t mean to show off, since Wang Yixuan had asked, Qiao Sang had no choice but to reply, "Probably because Yaobao is still here."

"Yaobao."

Upon hearing this, Yaobao glanced at the audience and then raised its paw in greeting.

Instantly, a hubbub arose from the audience.

"Did you see that?! It waved its paw!"

"Damn! That’s a big shot’s demeanor!"

"Ahhh! I just put my phone away, damn it, I didn’t capture this moment!"

Xu Yixuan: "..."

Having evolved, its coolness had indeed doubled... Yaobao silently puffed up its chest.

After 90 minutes, the second match began.

Qiao Sang had battled both Xu Yixuan and Wang Rui.

Wang Rui’s scale control suckling could perform psychic sensing, which to some extent, was a counter to invisible Spectral-type Pet Beasts.

If Xiao Xunbao had not also had the Psychic Series attribute, relying solely on invisibility to try and deal with the scale control suckling might have been very difficult, and Xu Yixuan’s Dream Inducer facing it would probably not fare well.

There were also Xu Yixuan’s Blazehound and Wang Rui’s Thorn Dragon.

In terms of attributes and all other aspects, the Thorn Dragon had the advantage.

And then... Qiao Sang looked towards Yaobao.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao couldn’t help itself and excitedly cheered on the Blazehound in the arena.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but facepalm and was just about to persuade it to stop shouting.

But before he could speak, the Thorn Dragon burrowed underground for the Nth time. Xu Yixuan gave the command for the Blazehound to spray fire into the burrow.

Due to the earlier skirmishes, the hole dug by the Thorn Dragon was right in front of the Blazehound’s paw.

The Blazehound directly lowered its head, opened its mouth, and aimed at the burrow.

Just when everyone thought the Thorn Dragon would either get injured or be forced to emerge early from the hole, a silver-white violent energy surged from the hole directly at the Blazehound, which still had its mouth open gathering flames.

The Blazehound was defeated on the spot.

"Boy, it purposely dug the hole by the Blazehound’s paw to get it to open its mouth towards the hole. The Thorn Dragon was already prepared inside to unleash the Dragon’s Breath, waiting for this moment. Indeed, none of those who made it this far are simple... This was definitely a tactically prearranged move, it’s absolutely not Yaobao’s curse..."

Qiao Sang nodded silently: In the future, one should not carelessly let Pet Beasts stay next to burrows, especially those intentionally dug right underfoot.

Time passed by bit by bit.

The match between Wang Yixuan and Wang Rui was somewhat tough.

Although Wang Rui’s Thorn Dragon won the first round, Wang Yixuan also realized the problem of not being cautious enough. She was extra careful during the second round.

The fully energetic Dream Inducer against the Thorn Dragon, which had already used up much of its energy, battled for five minutes. In the end, Dream Inducer finished the match with a Dream Induction move.

In the third round, both Xu Yixuan and Wang Rui brought unprecedented levels of focus.

They understood that at this year’s National Campus Beast Taming League provincial competition, the second place would be their best result.

The match proceeded in a deadlock.

The Dream Spirit was best at inducing dreams, but, unfortunately, as an old rival, Wang Rui knew its traits all too well. Coupled with mental perception that specifically countered Spectral-type pet beasts, the match ended in just over ten minutes, with the scale-controlling puppet winning using Illusion Ray.

Xu Yixuan returned to the players’ seats, looking dispirited, and said, "I thought without Ding Yanjing, I’d move up a place, but it turns out I’m still destined for third."

Qiao Sang comforted her, "Actually, you still have a chance to fight for the top two, as long as you beat me in the next match."

According to the tournament format, the winner of the second round would battle the first-round winner to decide the victor. However, Wang Rui, who won the second round, had already faced Qiao Sang in the first round.

That meant resorting to plan B, a round-robin format where the winner got 3 points, the loser got none, and a draw was worth 1 point.

Based on the last two rounds, Qiao Sang had 6 points, Wang Rui 6 points, and Xu Yixuan 3 points.

Since Wang Rui had already battled both opponents, the last match left was between Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan.

If Xu Yixuan won both sets against Qiao Sang, or achieved one win and one draw, first place would be hers.

Beat you?! Xu Yixuan’s mouth twitched, she didn’t even dare to think about a draw!

In the first row of the audience seating, the leadership area.

Huang Renbiao patted Wang Rui’s shoulder with satisfaction, "Good job, you’ve taken second place in the province this time. But the hard work is still ahead. Let’s train well the week we get back and prepare for the upcoming regional tournament."

Wang Rui nodded excitedly,

"Principal, I’ll work hard!"

The people around him offered their congratulations, with no indication of any issue.

Although the matches weren’t over yet, everyone had taken it for granted that Wang Rui was the second in the province.

...

Hangkang City.

Wendan Street.

Yaobao Pet Beast Breeding Shop.

The shop was packed at the moment, which was undoubtedly a great start for a newly opened pet beast breeding shop.

A large virtual screen took up half of the left wall.

It was currently playing commercials, with "Zhehai TV" logos displayed at the upper left corner.

Five staff members were enthusiastically tending to the customers.

Ye Xiangting occasionally glanced towards the virtual screen.

After some time, the screen changed, and a man in a suit sitting in a holographic studio smiled and said,

"Let’s continue to follow the National School Beast Taming League in Zhehai Province for high school seniors. Coming up next, you’ll see the finals of our province’s competition for high school seniors."

After he spoke, the scene switched to the Hangkang Pet Beast Battle Field.

Ye Xiangting immediately grabbed her phone, opened the family group chat, and @everyone:

[The match has started!]

Ye Xiangting only waited two seconds, but when no one bubbled up, she couldn’t help but tap on the red packet on her phone.

[Ye Xiangting sent a red packet]

The red packet was snatched up in a flash.

[Second Sister-in-law: I’m watching the match! I didn’t switch channels once during the 90-minute halftime!]

[Big Brother: Remember to host a banquet after Qiao Sang’s match ends, your sister-in-law and I will definitely come back]

[Third Uncle: Qiao Sang is really making a name for himself, dad and mom have been watching his match all morning]

[Brother-in-law: Ah, I also want to watch, but unfortunately, I have to work right now. That said, I will definitely watch the replay when I go home tonight!]

There were many more messages below, almost everyone in the family group chat popped up.

Ye Xiangting looked at the chat history, satisfied.
