"Qu!"

The referee's whistle, signaling the end of the match, quickly echoed through the arena.

The crowd's faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

But after the initial shock, their eyes lit up as they processed the scene before them, it completely defied their understanding.

For the first time, the students in the audience had never felt so eager to learn.

"Oh my god! How can it still be standing after such an explosion?!"

"Is there a teacher here? Someone explain what just happened!"

"Did it secretly use some powerful Psychic-type defensive skill that we didn't notice?"

"That explosion just now, what level of defensive skill could possibly withstand that?"

"Wu Chongyu is pretty strong himself. If he hadn't encountered Qiao Sang, I think he could've at least made it into the top five."

"Wait, can someone explain what exactly Blazing Star Canine did inside that explosion to come out unharmed?"

"Who said it was unharmed? Look at its body, it's covered in injuries! It just managed to endure thanks to its strong defensive skills."

"After all this discussion, what exactly is Blazing Star Canine's defensive skill?"

In the competitors' area, Liu Yao turned to Sun Boyi and asked, "What is Blazing Star Canine's defensive skill?"

Sun Boyi remained silent.

Liu Yao was surprised.

"You don't even know?"

Sun Boyi: ...

Yeah, why don’t I know this either…? He felt like he was on the verge of a breakdown.

To be honest, in all his years, he had never felt so useless before.

In the front row of the audience, officials from various regions were engaged in a rare discussion.

"How did the Blazing Star Canine defend against that?"

"I noticed that the explosion created an absurd amount of smoke, which means a massive amount of Fire-type energy must have been released."

"You think it used a Fire-type skill to block the attack?"

"I didn't say that, but judging from the energy fluctuations, it’s not impossible."

"In theory, using a Fire-type skill to block a Thunderstorm attack is impossible. The collision of these two elements would only make the explosion even stronger, and Blazing Star Canine would have suffered even more damage." ṘΆ₦Ổ𐌱Ёʂ

"Then how do you explain the abnormal amount of smoke from the explosion?"

"Maybe Blazing Star Canine was fighting Electric Slash Beast inside the explosion?"

"You're saying that not only did the Blazing Star Canine fight Electric Slash Beast within the range of the Thunderstorm attack, but it also withstood the explosion?"

"…That guess sounds pretty far-fetched."

At this moment, Minister Zhou from the Yuhua region suddenly coughed and said, "Why are you all overthinking? If we want to know, I can just ask Qiao Sang later. She’s from our Yuhua region, so she should be willing to tell me even if it’s a trump card."

"Do you need me to ask for you?"

That last sentence was probably the real point… The officials twitched their mouths but ignored him.

On the battlefield.

Yabao lifted his head at a 45-degree angle, striking a cool pose.

But in reality, his ears were twitching as he listened to the surrounding praises, his tail wagging furiously.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang sighed helplessly.

"Come back. We need to change the field."

After the recent battle, the arena had turned into a wasteland, it had to be replaced.

Electric Slash Beast was carried away on a stretcher, while a mechanical referee beast waved its paw in a leave the field gesture. But Yabao was still standing there, foolishly posing.

"Yap!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Yabao maintained his 45-degree-angled pose before disappearing from his spot and reappearing beside Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang turned her head, saw Yabao’s expression, and her mouth twitched.

Soon, the ground sank, and a brand-new arena replaced the destroyed one.

Yabao, without changing his pose, instantly teleported onto the new battlefield.

So it really is going for a two-in-a-row battle… Wu Chongyu took a deep breath, preparing to steady his emotions.

But the next second, his newly stabilized mindset wavered.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled the Blazing Star Canine back into her Beast Master’s Codex.

Wu Chongyu: ???

Qiao Sang wasn’t going to have Blazing Star Canine fight back-to-back? Then why did she let it stay in the arena for so long…?

Wu Chongyu wasn’t someone who thought before speaking, so he directly shouted, "You’re not going to continue using Blazing Star Canine?"

This was the first time in the national championship that a competitor had spoken to her so openly under the spotlight. Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned before replying, "Are you trying to trick me into revealing something?"

She actually understood why he asked, but with a national audience watching the live broadcast, there was no way she could say the real reason: That Yabao had been soaking up the audience’s praise and she just wanted him to enjoy the moment a little longer.

If she said that, it would completely ruin the cool guy image Yabao had worked so hard to maintain.

Yabao might have looked confident and unshaken, but Qiao Sang knew he was actually badly injured.

The first battle had been exciting enough. There was no need to push it further.

Wu Chongyu regretted his question the moment he asked it. Just as he was about to explain, the whistle signaling the summoning of new beasts suddenly rang out.

With no choice, Wu Chongyu swallowed his words and formed a summoning seal.

A gray-green star formation lit up.

The next second, the summoned beasts appeared before the audience.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure waved enthusiastically at the crowd.

"Pupu." Ice Dragon bowed politely toward the audience.

Ice Dragon, an Ice and Dragon dual-type intermediate beast.

It was known for being extremely calm and gentle, with a body surface temperature of -120 degrees Celsius and an ability called Frozen Body…

Qiao Sang observed the entirely blue, long-necked, short-limbed beast before her, recalling its information.

A surface temperature of -120 degrees… If someone got too close, wouldn’t they freeze to death? What level of Beast Master reinforcement would be needed to withstand that…? She silently mused.

"Qu!"

The mechanical referee beast, wearing its referee badge, blew the whistle to start the match.

"Xun!!!"

The moment the whistle ended, Little Treasure let out a piercing scream. A soundwave, invisible to the naked eye, transmitted straight into Ice Dragon’s ears.

Unlike Lubao, who was immune, Ice Dragon was highly affected by Scare.

Its eyes widened in shock, and its body trembled.

At this stage of the competition, even a one-second delay in reaction could determine the outcome.

Ice Dragon stood frozen as Little Treasure’s shadow rapidly approached.

"Ice Beam!" Wu Chongyu reacted swiftly, seeing the shadow about to connect with Ice Dragon’s.

To break free from the two-dimensional control of Shadow Control, the Ghost-type beast needed to leave its current position. If the Ghost Ring Phantom dodged the Ice Beam, its shadow would naturally retract.

Hearing its Beast Master's command, Ice Dragon snapped out of it, opening its mouth. Several freezing beams of light rapidly formed and shot toward Little Treasure.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure grinned, standing his ground.

At the same time, his shadow twisted, splitting into multiple strands that connected with each incoming Ice Beam.

Just like that, the Ice Beams suddenly froze mid-air.

Wu Chongyu’s eyes widened as a terrible premonition surged within him.

His gaze shifted to the ground, his pupils shrank.

The Shadow Control had not only stopped the Ice Beam, it had connected with Ice Dragon’s shadow as well!

"Hypnosis." Qiao Sang commanded.

"Close your eyes!" Wu Chongyu quickly countered.

But it was too late. Ice Dragon's eyes met Little Treasure’s glowing purple ones and instantly shut as it collapsed into a deep sleep.

"Qu!"

The referee beast blew the whistle.

Wu Chongyu: …
