Chapter 606: Chapter 552: Do You Know About Team Battles?

Mu Deli nodded in satisfaction and then said,

"Although this friendship match emphasizes on exchange, displaying our own solid strength is also very important. I hope that the students chosen have experience in 2vs2 team battles. Even though we don’t require you to have a core tactical system like professional beast tamers, at the very least, your team coordination should be decent."

Upon hearing this, nearly two-thirds of the students silently lowered their hands.

Mu Deli glanced over the students who were still raising their hands, and finally her gaze landed on the ponytailed black-haired girl, she asked,

"Qiao Sang, do you have experience in 2vs2 team battles?"

How could she possibly have... Qiao Sang kept a straight face, "Yes."

Mu Deli immediately smiled,

"Then Qiao Sang will represent our school in this friendship match."

A Dragon Country champion from Blue Star of the high-school senior division; there was no one in the school with more solid strength than her.

She immediately thought of something and looked at the other students in the class, "Does anyone have any objections?"

The classmates all nodded in unison.

They had no objections whatsoever to someone who had reached 39% brain domain at the age of 15.

Mu Deli said,

"There’s one more spot..."

Looking around at the remaining students with their hands still up, she said, "I will take note of the names of those who want to participate. After class, gather on the playground for a 2vs2 match. The winner will secure the second spot and represent our school in the friendship match in the first district."

In matters of strength, the classmates had no objections.

As soon as the homeroom teacher left, Qiao Sang turned to Tang Yi and asked,

"Did you raise your hand just now?"

"I did," Tang Yi sighed, "But then I put it down again."

"Why?" Qiao Sang asked.

Tang Yi said, "The homeroom teacher said we need someone with 2vs2 team battle experience, and I have no such experience."

Qiao Sang looked at him in surprise.

Such an honest person...

"I didn’t expect you to have any experience in team battles," said Tang Yi admiringly. "How do you manage your time? You’ve been competing for nearly a whole semester in the National School Beast Taming Competition, and yet you still have the energy to focus on team battles."

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, "Actually, I don’t have that experience either."

Tang Yi’s eyes widened, "Then just now?!"

Qiao Sang admitted honestly, "I want points."

Enlightenment dawned on Tang Yi in an instant.

That’s right! They are from Blue Star; no one here would know whether they had experience in 2vs2 team battles!

The goal of participating in the friendship match is to accumulate points; as long as you can win in the end!

...

After school in the afternoon, Qiao Sang did not go to the Hejin Tower for the pet beast arena competition like she did the previous two days.

She had to depart for the first district in two days. The 2vs2 team battle the homeroom teacher mentioned was about a beast tamer sending out two pet beasts to battle against the opponent’s two pet beasts. She had never tried this mode of battle before and had to practice it, especially since she was aiming for points.

However, team combat capability is also crucial in becoming a professional beast tamer. Even if it wasn’t for the points, she would still have to focus on this aspect in the future.

Professional beast tamers usually have multiple pet beasts and can set up a corresponding core tactical system using two or more pet beasts to achieve a synergy where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

To become a professional Beast Tamer, constructing a team battle system is indispensable.

Starting from the professional assessment for B-rank Beast Tamers, it’s no longer simply a 1v1 mode.

The strength of a single Pet Beast cannot determine the depth of a professional Beast Tamer.

Group combat is the next focus.

Honestly, it’s a bit premature for high school students’ 2v2 team battles to have a fully-fledged team battle system—it’s good enough if two Pet Beasts can cooperate in battle.

This is why homeroom teacher Mu Deli didn’t ask Qiao Sang about her team battle system before deciding to let her participate.

Qiao Sang sat in front of the computer, searching through discussions about team battle systems while pondering:

"Now I have Yaobao, Xiao Xunbao, Lubao, and Little Steel Falcon... let’s not consider Little Steel Falcon for now, since it’s a low-level Pet Beast and I’m going for the points. It’s better to pair the strong with the strong to win."

"Pairing Yaobao with Xiao Xunbao seems good; Xiao Xunbao can lead control, while Yaobao takes on the main attack."

"Shadow Control can achieve good results with any of Yaobao’s attack skills..."

"The mix of Yaobao and Lubao is also nice. One Healing Light skill can keep Yaobao in an uninjured state at all times—it wouldn’t be an overstatement to call it an infinite recovery tactic. But if Lubao were to fight alongside Yaobao, simply acting as a healer is definitely not something Lubao would agree to..."

"The most common weather tactic seen online can only be performed by Lubao; it can rain, and it also has the Leisurely trait. If I were to arrange this tactic, it seems I wouldn’t need to pair it with anyone in particular..."

"Xiao Xunbao and Lubao also make a good combination. Xiao Xunbao’s Spatial Movement can relocate opponents. By then, Lubao could cast Frost Wind or something to directly allow Xiao Xunbao to move the opponent into the range of attack."

"However, Xiao Xunbao’s Spatial Movement works well with anyone; as long as it moves the opponent, allowing the partner a good opportunity to deal damage, there’s a high chance to perfectly land the skills on the opponent."

"I guess that could be called Spatial Tactics..."

"Plus, Xiao Xunbao has Extrasensory Perception, so in doubles, it can predict the partner’s attacks and dodge their ultimate moves."

"This trait is absolutely perfect for doubles."

"You know, at first, many Pet Beasts would easily injure their own teammates when trying to coordinate in doubles, getting knocked down by their own side rather than the opponent..."

As she was thinking, Lubao let out a sound.

Immediately after, Yaobao’s voice was heard.

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Yaobao and Lubao facing off in a confrontational stance, locked in an eye battle.

Little Steel Falcon was beside them, looking as if it had a headache.

What happened? Weren’t they already reconciled? Surely they haven’t started disliking each other again... Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned by the scene, just about to ask what was going on.

"Ya Ya?"

Just as she was about to speak, Yaobao turned its head with a serious expression and asked if it or Lubao was stronger.

"Bingke."

Lubao turned its head and looked at Qiao Sang with the same serious demeanor, waiting for an answer.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and silently turned to look at Little Steel Falcon beside her.

Could this be an internal conflict triggered by Little Steel Falcon’s statement about targeting the strongest individual...?

"Steel Steel..."

Little Steel Falcon, feeling Qiao Sang’s gaze, initially stiffened, then pretended not to know anything and flew to the side, obediently beginning to practice inner suspension breathing.

It’s definitely you... Qiao Sang twitched the corner of her mouth, under the gaze of Yaobao and Lubao, and slowly opened her mouth:

"Do you know what a team battle is?"
