Chapter 532: Chapter 488: National Competition Concludes

The entire audience maintained a silent stillness.

At first, when Pàléi’àokě fell to the ground motionless after being attacked by Mars Rain and the destructive death ray, the faces in the crowd were taut with confusion and shock, especially those from the Zhongkong Region.

However, just as the spectators from the Zhongkong Region braced themselves for a heart-rending defeat, Pàléi’àokě astonishingly stood back up and unleashed its own destructive death ray against the immobilized Liaoxing Dog.

God knows how thrilled they were at that moment.

Just when everyone thought the tide was about to turn, Pàléi’àokě transformed back into Paléi Lulu! The regenerated Liaoxing Dog swiftly ended the match with a Blazing Charge!

The emotional rollercoaster of the audience mirrored the tumult of a wild ride, reaching a peak in its thrills and falls.

The spectators from the Yuhua Region were equally spellbound, their emotions crested and troughed in the exact opposite manner as those from the Zhongkong Region.

"The champion of the 336th National School Beast Taming Tournament for seniors has just been crowned! Let us congratulate the contestant from the Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang!" the host’s voice rang out at this moment.

As if awakening from a trance, the silence shattered, unleashing a cacophony of sound unlike anything before.

Excluding the Zhongkong Region audience, everyone else stood up, waving their arms and screaming at the top of their lungs.

The spotlight and all the cameras in the arena were fixed on the girl on stage and the Liaoxing Dog, which was tilting its head at a 45-degree angle.

The champion was born!

"Qiao Sang! Ahhh! Qiao Sang!"

"Ahhh! Qiao Sang! I knew the champion would be you!"

"Liaoxing Dog! Liaoxing Dog!"

"Oh my! The champion! Our Yuhua Region won the championship!"

"General-level Pet Beast my ass! It still got smacked down by Qiao Sang!"

"It’s been years since we’ve been able to hold our heads high like this; I’ve been sick of the Zhongkong Region folks for a while! Well done, Qiao Sang!"

"Even though I am overjoyed that Qiao Sang won the championship, I really don’t get it. How did Pàléi’àokě not show any of the strength expected of a General-level Pet Beast in the fight against the Liaoxing Dog? It was so impressive against the Ghost Ring Wraith."

"I don’t get it either, but who cares, we can watch the commentary later. For now, just bask in the joy!"

"Right! Qiao Sang is amazing!"

"Qiao Sang won! Qiao Sang won!" The group from Shengshui Middle School stood up and screamed excitedly.

Since the inception of the National School Beast Taming Tournament, Shengshui Middle School had never had anyone make it to nationals.

Now not only had someone qualified, but they had also captured the championship in the senior division!

It’s known that among the divisions from freshman to senior, the senior division championship is the most coveted and valuable.

Not to say that the freshman and sophomore champions are not valuable, but the senior year is the last in high school, and their last chance to compete.

All team members would train with all their might, dedicating body and soul, as earnestly as regular seniors preparing for university entrance exams.

In this competitive environment, Qiao Sang, two years their junior, won the final victory.

And Qiao Sang hailed from their very own Shengshui Middle School!

"Ah! We won! We won!" Sun Boyi couldn’t maintain his usual composure, excitedly hugging Liu Yao: "Qiao Sang won! We won!"

Liu Yao smiled, allowing Sun Boyi to embrace him.

...

In the first row of the audience stands. The officials’ area.

"Minister Zhou, congratulations!" Several ministers from different regions stood up and turned toward Minister Zhou.

"Hahaha!" Minister Zhou laughed so hard he couldn’t close his mouth: "Tonight, dinner’s on me! Whatever you all want to eat!"

"Minister Zhou." At that moment, Minister Yan spoke up: "The college entrance exam isn’t far away, don’t forget to ask Qiao Sang’s teachers to catch her up on her studies when she returns."

On hearing this, Minister Lan and Yang Minister from the Zitiya Region’s eyes flickered.

"Of course, I won’t forget!" Minister Zhou agreed eagerly, still riding the wave of excitement.

Amidst the cheers, the host’s voice was heard:

"The award ceremony will be held in 20 minutes! Please stand by for a moment!"

The awards for the National School Beast Taming Tournament are typically handed out to both the Beast Tamer and their competing Pet Beasts, although some Pet Beasts can be so seriously injured in the competition that they pass out and don’t wake up.

Twenty minutes are given for treatment and preparation.

Although such a short time won’t fully recover the Pet Beast, it is enough to be presentable for accepting the awards.

...

"Xun Xun?"

Having fully recovered under Lubao’s Healing Light, Xiao Xunbao first blinked twice, and then, as if realizing something, eagerly called out to his own Beast Tamer.

Did we win?

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao puffed out his chest beside him.

Of course!

Qiao Sang smiled, "We won."

"Xun Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao looked at Yaobao with an admiring expression.

The big brother is indeed the big brother, able to win even against such formidable opponents!

"Yaobao!"

Yaobao puffed out his chest even more.

Lubao listened to the conversation, contemplative.

Was the opponent that strong?

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao with a smile on his face, "The main reason we won was because of you, without your abilities and curse, Yaobao wouldn’t have won so easily."

"Yaobao..."

Yaobao was taken aback, so it was the little brother’s abilities and curse that did it, no wonder the opponent acted so strangely...

"Xun?"

Xiao Xunbao was also taken aback, showing a "really?" expression.

"Of course." Qiao Sang picked up Xiao Xunbao, "You’ll see when we watch the playback later. For now, we need to go to the award ceremony."

...

Under the night sky, fireworks interweaved and blossomed densely.

The multicolored buds burst open, their falling lights transforming into Pet Beasts that had appeared in the national competition.

Once the fireworks ended, small Flight Type Pet Beasts wearing uniform holographic costumes appeared high in the sky, constantly changing positions to form the shapes of various Pet Beasts. As they changed, the colors of their holographic costumes shifted, making the night sky resplendent and magnificent.

The crowd cheered ecstatically.

Although Zhongkong Region hadn’t taken the championship, they had secured both the second and third places with Tang Yi and Zhao Chuanyu, so seeing two people from Zhongkong Region standing on the podium naturally made them cheer as well.

In such an atmosphere, Qiao Sang and Yaobao took their places at the central spot of the podium.

Minister Yan hung the gold medal around Qiao Sang’s neck, then handed her a gold trophy circled by a Dragon-type Pet Beast and a white cylindrical crystal threaded with a line.

"Congratulations on winning the championship," Minister Yan smiled.

Qiao Sang returned the smile, "Thank you."

After speaking, she grinned and raised the trophy high towards the audience.

Countless cameras focused on Qiao Sang.

As Qiao Sang reveled in the excitement of winning the championship, Minister Yan’s voice rang out again, "Good luck on your college entrance exams."

Qiao Sang: "???"

...

Moutin Hotel.

Once back in the room, Qiao Sang sprawled out on the bed in a starfish pose.

The competition was finally over, how tiring...

Ever since the National School Beast Taming Championship began, Qiao Sang hadn’t dared to relax. Perhaps feeling that the competition had finally concluded and all was settled, even though she only faced one opponent today, a surge of exhaustion hit her at this moment.

Unwittingly, Qiao Sang fell asleep.

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao looked at his sleeping Beast Tamer with a pout, what about watching the playback they had agreed on...
