Chapter 510: Chapter 470 The Fifth Stage National Competition (Two in One)_2

"[In terms of overall strength, the Zhongkong Region is still the strongest, with Tang Yi in front and Zhao Chuanyu following behind.]"

"[What’s the use of being strong overall? This is an individual competition. Need I explain what an individual competition is?]"

"[Tang Yi isn’t up to par anymore, let alone compared to Zhao Chuanyu or Qiao Sang. I reckon he couldn’t even beat Zhang Wandi now.]"

"[Look at you guys, how quickly you change your faces. Before, you were shouting every day that Tang Yi was unbeatable. Now you don’t even mention him, and when you do, you just mock him.]"

"[The chant ’Tang Yi is unbeatable’ came from you folks in the Zhongkong Region. We in Chong Island never shouted that.]"

"[Neither did we in the Zitiya Region.]"

"[Speak of it or not, Tang Yi truly was unbeatable back then. If he hadn’t gotten arrogant after winning the championship, entered the Secret Realm, and gotten his Paléi Lulu seriously injured, which led to a two-month recovery at the Beast Taming Center, depriving his Pet Beasts of two months of crucial training time, who knows? Tang Yi might have been a hot favorite to win the championship this time.]"

"[I don’t know what he was thinking, not even being a D-rank Beast Tamer and daring to enter the Secret Realm.]"

"[I heard there was trouble in Tang Yi’s family, and later all resources were provided by the school. But they weren’t given for nothing, he had to achieve some results. I guess he also wanted to gain some resources by going to the Secret Realm.]"

"[Suddenly, I understand. Walking the path of a Beast Tamer is truly difficult if your family can’t provide resources. I have a cousin who was self-awakened, but just because our family had gone bankrupt, she contracted a sand slipper worm worth only about 20,000 yuan, which isn’t even as good as my Pet Beast.]"

"[Actually, I think Tang Yi is still impressive. His ace Pet Beasts haven’t trained for two months, and he’s still managed to get this far.]"

"[The thing is, he was too invincible last year, and everyone had high expectations of him. The higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment, and now they feel he’s just not as good as before.]"

Tang Yi’s situation was just like this, Qiao Sang mused. No wonder no one mentioned last year’s champion...

Fallen from affluence yet highly talented, facing a setback just when he was most dazzling, leading others to think he’s done for—wasn’t this the quintessential plot for a male protagonist?

The person ought to be noted, Qiao Sang thought cautiously.

According to the typical male protagonist setup, when everyone else thinks the hero is finished, they often make a comeback against all odds, slapping faces left and right.

...

The next day was the time to select the one to advance to the top ten from the losers’ bracket.

After breakfast, Qiao Sang finished washing up and took Yaobao and the others to the hotel’s 15th floor to begin training.

Even though the training was monotonously uneventful, Yaobao and Lubao never showed any signs of weariness.

Xiao Xunbao, on the other hand, wanted to rest several times midway through, but upon turning to see Yaobao and Lubao training, it gritted its teeth and persevered.

Qiao Sang felt a twinge of emotions. Be it studying or training, the influence of the environment was indeed substantial.

...

In the blink of an eye, the day of the fifth stage of the National High School Beast Taming Competition arrived.

As there were only ten contestants left, the competition was uniformly scheduled for the afternoon.

At two in the afternoon, figures started appearing at Shining Arena.

Students from various regions, dressed in uniform school attire as cheerleaders, had considerably decreased, but the number of spectators hadn’t dwindled and was as packed as ever.

Every competition has its audience.

The National High School Beast Taming Competition might not have the strongest players among all ongoing competitions, but at the high school level, it’s the most high-profile and prestigious event.

There are tens of millions of high school families in Dragon Country each year, plus middle school students interested in Beast Taming competitions, so there’s no shortage of people following the national contest.

Attending the national matches doesn’t require a ticket; it’s all about connections.

Once news of an open seat spreads, school leaders would reserve it immediately.

Under the full coverage of cameras, the host stood on the white body of a Flight Type Pet Beast. He read the competition rules and, soon after, the list of matchups appeared on the virtual screen.

"[Zitiya Region, Zhou Shanliang VS Chong Island Region, Zhang Wandi]"

"[Zhongkong Region, Tang Yi VS Tuwei Region, Xu Jie]"

"[Liaoxi Region, Liao Qiang VS Zhongkong Region, Xia Fengyuan]"

"[Dongjia Region, Sun Yi VS Zhongkong Region, Zhao Chuanyu]"

"[Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang VS Liaoxi Region, Cui Pingkun]"

...

There were five pairs, ten contestants in total, for the fifth stage of the national competition.

After yesterday’s fierce competition, Cui Pingkun successfully became the tenth contestant to advance from the losers’ bracket.
