Chapter 621: Chapter 562: Qiao Sang VS Asher (Second update for the Wide-brimmed Hat Alliance Leader!)

Alva, who had never experienced a major competition, had no idea about the importance of intelligence gathering before the match.

But even if she knew, she probably wouldn’t care much. In her view, it wasn’t anything confidential. This was just a friendly match, and if someone wanted information about the contestants from her school, they could probably just ask any random student from the Saher School.

As a volunteer, one of her duties was to help students from other schools by answering their questions.

Thus, Alva introduced Ladko’s situation without any burden:

"He has two pet beasts, a high-level Fairy Series pet Bobonel and a mid-level Combat Series and Steel Series dual-attribute pet Gangbao."

At this point, Alva stopped talking.

Qiao Sang waited for three seconds and couldn’t help but ask, "What are the characteristics and skills of Bobonel and Gangbao?"

Alva was startled for a moment, as she hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to ask in such detail.

After thinking for a while, she said:

"I’m not sure about the specifics, but Bobonel’s innate skill is Purification, which can effectively reduce the duration of toxins and curses. I don’t know much else. I’m not in the same class as Ladko, nor have I seen him fight. I just know that he’s quite good at team battles and often represents the school in 2vs2 group battles."

Purification, Qiao Sang repeated the skill name in her mind.

She had some knowledge of this skill.

Purification, a high-ranking skill of the Fairy Series, can purify toxins and curses in the target, making it the bane of Poison Series pet beasts and those specializing in curse-related skills from the Spectral Series.

Many high-ranking Beast Tamers who venture into Secret Realms hope to rent a Fairy Series pet beast that knows Purification.

After all, the Secret Realms they explore are generally those classified as having a high degree of danger by the Alliance.

In such realms, encountering Poison Series and Spectral Series pet beasts becomes much more likely.

From Alva’s words, it seemed that Bobonel’s Purification could only reduce the duration of toxins and curses but not eliminate them completely, which suggested that the mastery level of Purification was not very high... But even if it were higher, it wouldn’t matter much, since she didn’t have a Poison Series pet beast, and Xiao Xunbao wouldn’t really use the Ill-Fortune Curse in combat... Qiao Sang analyzed subconsciously.

As for the Steel Series and Combat Series Gangbao, just hearing the attributes made it seem tough. Yaobao wouldn’t have much advantage against it, and having Xiao Xunbao attack Gangbao would mean the high-level Fairy Series pet beast Bobonel was looming nearby, ready to strike. It seemed better to use the combination of Yaobao and Lubao when facing this person...

While Qiao Sang was pondering, some leader from Saher School got up and rattled off a bunch of words, mainly about hoping that everyone would have a pleasant time here.

Qiao Sang almost fell asleep listening and unexpectedly found herself missing the person she had met only once—the principal of Saher School.

If only every leader were like that principal... Qiao Sang thought, while taking out her textbook.

About twenty minutes later, the virtual screen appeared, signaling the beginning of the first round of school team formation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, two school emblems were enlarged and fixed in the center of the virtual screen.

One emblem had a red background with the legendary pet beast, Lai Semodo, in the center, while the other had a white background with a cup in the center.

Then, the screen scrolled again.

This time, two headshots appeared.

One of the photos showed a red-haired, dark-eyed girl—Geta, whom Qiao Sang knew.

It seemed that Zeyou Lais’s divination accuracy was much higher than Zeyou Mu’s... Qiao Sang thought to herself, then watched as Geta and a curly-haired black girl stepped up.

In most high schools where the students have only two pet beasts, what kind of opponent one is matched with is a matter of great uncertainty. Since attributes are fixed, tactical cooperation lies therein, and sometimes, as soon as the pet beasts are revealed, everyone has a rough idea of who will win or lose.

There was no suspense in this match.

The two pet beasts summoned by Geta and the black girl were both mid-level, but Geta had one Water-type and one Ice-type, while the black girl’s pet beasts were Fire Element and Ground Type—completely countered in all respects.

The black girl lasted only a little more than two minutes before both her pet beasts were defeated under the coordinated attack of Geta’s pair.

The competition was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Forty minutes later, the screen scrolled.

As the school emblem and the names of the upcoming contestants appeared, the broadcast voice sounded:

"Qiao Sang from Sainan High School, Omar Ashur from Chegbi Academy, please come to the stage."

To think it was Omar Ashur... Qiao Sang was somewhat surprised.

After watching yesterday’s matches all day, there weren’t many contestants who left an impression on her, but Ashur was one of them. His pet beasts’ enchanting strategy had made a deep impression on her.

She didn’t expect to encounter him so soon.

At that time, she had thought that if her opponent was him, she would send out Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao, or Lubao and Gangbao as her team.

After all, the enchantment skill wasn’t a group attack; it could only target one pet beast at a time. If she sent out two pet beasts of the same gender, at most one beast would be affected first, and the other could take the opportunity to attack and deal with the pet beast causing the enchantment right away.

As for the other pet beast capable of enchanting, its gender matching the two pet beasts she sent out, there was no need to worry about being charmed, so she could quickly deal with it... Qiao Sang thought about this as she walked onto the field.

After taking her position on the field, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the serious expression on Gangbao’s face, which abruptly gathered her scattered thoughts.

For today’s match, Xiao Xunbao and Gangbao had stayed up all night training...

With this in mind, Qiao Sang’s thoughts returned to calm. She did not make any hand signs but instead glanced to the side.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao appeared on the scene.

"Gang Gang."

Gangbao, with a serious expression, flew to the field, flapping its wings.

The next second, Xiao Xunbao teleported next to Gangbao.

Seeing this, Ashur paused in the middle of making his hand signs.

All over the stadium, murmurs suddenly surged, creating a tumultuous noise.

Qiao Sang’s Star Array was orange-yellow, and it wasn’t particularly surprising to everyone that she had four pet beasts, but what was up with that pet beast that was clearly from the Spectral Series? What the hell was that?

Teleportation?

It performed teleportation?!

In the spectator seats, Thompson’s face turned sour; he wasn’t looking at Little Steel Falcon but rather at another Spectral-type Pet whose name he couldn’t recall.

Just thinking about the bald spot on top of his head made it difficult not to develop a psychological shadow towards that pet beast.

At that moment, a mechanical voice sounded from the side:

"Ghost Ring Specter, a high-level spectral-type pet beast from Blue Star Dragon Country, likes to collect its belongings inside rings. One should always be mindful of their possessions around it, as any item that catches the Ghost Ring Specter’s eye will be silently obtained by it."

Thompson turned his head and saw Ladko aiming the Pet Beast Identifier at the spectral-type pet beast in the field.

A holographic image of the Ghost Ring Specter was also displayed above the Pet Beast Identifier.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Ladko’s face visibly stunned, and he slowly said:

"This is a Ghost Ring Specter with localized color variation!"
