Chapter 57: The Mighty Pig

Qiao Sang did not want the outside comments to affect Huoyagou's mood.

As long as Huoyagou was happy, that was enough.

Qiao Sang's gaze returned to the TV.

On the screen, two massive pet beasts were fiercely battling.

The score was already 5-4, and it was the match point.

Tonight's Interstellar Cup match was crucial for her financial situation, so Qiao Sang had been watching it on time, all the way until now.

At this moment, the one who had first reached the match point was Chen Mo.

Seeing Chen Mo's pet beast, the Dual-Headed Gear Dragon, being pressed by Pasol's pet beast, the Phantom Fire Dragon, Qiao Sang couldn't help but feel nervous.

She quickly picked up Huoyagou, who was holding his phone and admiring his own performance.

"Quick, cheer for this Phantom Fire Dragon."

"Ya?"

Huoyagou tilted his head.

"It's the pet beast of the tamer you chose yesterday," Qiao Sang explained.

"Ya!"

Huoyagou understood and then raised his paw.

"Ya ya!"

"Ya ya!"

"Ya!"

After more than 20 minutes, Qiao Sang watched with satisfaction as the Dual-Headed Gear Dragon staged a comeback and won the match.

...

...

The next day.

At the old spot in Zone C, Qiao Sang saw Bai Yunmiao, who had returned to her usual attire.

"Don't tell me you came here specially to watch my match," Qiao Sang joked as she walked over and sat down next to her, holding Huoyagou.

"Haha, I did come here specially to see you," Bai Yunmiao laughed.

Qiao Sang was taken aback.

The venue for the Baxin Tournament was in the Shouke Park, located in the suburbs. Although it was near the city, it still took a considerable amount of time to get there from the city center.

Those who lost the match generally didn't want to waste their time coming back.

Like Fang Sisi, who was like that at first.

She didn't expect that Bai Yunmiao, whom she had only known for a short time, would be willing to spend time coming to watch her match...

Qiao Sang was moved and was about to say something.

Bai Yunmiao then said, "Actually, my parents were arguing, and I didn't want to stay at home, so I came here."

Qiao Sang: "..."

She was moved...

"What happened with your parents?" Qiao Sang asked.

"They were talking in the morning, and the conversation turned to my future," Bai Yunmiao replied. "My mom wants me to become a Coordinator, while my dad wants me to become a professional Tamer, so they started arguing."

Qiao Sang said, "It depends on your own wishes."

Bai Yunmiao looked troubled and said, "I haven't decided yet. I'm only in my third year of high school, and I still have a year before college. I haven't even started thinking about this issue."

Uncertainty about future plans is a common problem for most high school students.

In her previous life, high school students just needed to focus on their grades and choose their majors based on their scores after the college entrance exam.

But in this tamer society, it's necessary to plan ahead.

"Is your Gold Vine about to evolve?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Yes," Bai Yunmiao sighed.

Qiao Sang understood.

No wonder her parents were arguing about this issue.

The Gold Vine has two evolutionary forms.

One is the Withered Vine, which is strong in combat and can potentially learn the skill of absorption, which both damages the target and heals itself.

However, its body is covered with wrinkles like a toad's skin.

If you want to use the Withered Vine to become a Coordinator and participate in the Coordinator Tournament, you would be eliminated in the first round of the preliminaries 99% of the time.

After all, Coordinators focus on the appearance and the elegance of their pet beasts' skills in battle.

The Withered Vine clearly doesn't meet the appearance requirements.

The other evolutionary form, the Sweet Vine, can emit a scent that confuses the mind, and its pink leaves look like a grass skirt around it, making it very likable.

However, its attack power is extremely weak, and using it to pass the League's examination to become a higher-level Tamer is not very realistic.

You would need to contract a second, more powerful pet beast and cultivate it to a mid-level pet beast to participate in the examination.

This would make you much slower in becoming an E-class Tamer compared to others.

F-class Tamers generally spend most of their time and effort on their first contracted pet beast, which is undeniable.

"If you can't decide, you can actually ask the Gold Vine for its opinion," Qiao Sang said.

She felt that the Gold Vine was more inclined to evolve into the Sweet Vine.

From the way it wore a pink bow yesterday, it seemed to be quite vain.

Bai Yunmiao was taken aback and then realized, "You're right."

...

After several days of matches, only 32 contestants remained.

The audience seats were increasingly empty.

However, to maintain the heat, the organizers invited more guests and media.

In the guest seats.

"Are there any outstanding contestants in this tournament?" one of the newly invited guests asked.

"There's a guy named Hou Xiangyu, 17 years old, with two mid-level pet beasts, a Baxuedie and a Kongschengxiou."

"17 years old, Ice-type and Psychic-type, he must be from Litan Tamer High School."

"Besides Litan, which other school has such a talented 17-year-old student?"

"There's also a guy named Lu You from Shengshui Middle School, who has contracted a Little Qilong," another guest suddenly said.

The guest seats fell silent.

None of them had contracted a Dragon-type pet beast...

...

Qiao Sang's opponent today was not on her to-do list.

But a Tamer who could use a beginner pet beast to reach this stage must have some skill.

"Can you... go easy on me?" the girl in the hat said, blushing.

Qiao Sang was slightly taken aback.

It was the first time she had encountered such a shy person during a match.

"Sure," Qiao Sang replied.

The girl smiled gratefully and then summoned her pet beast.

A snow-white pet beast with well-developed biceps and a snub nose appeared on the ground.

"Chaa!"

The snow-white pet beast bent its arms and flexed its well-developed muscles on both sides.

Qiao Sang: "..."

It's actually a Mighty Pig...

This is so out of character for its Tamer!

Qiao Sang didn't realize that the Sunglass-wearing Huoyagou in front of her, who was provocatively grinning at the Mighty Pig, was also out of character.

The two Tamers stood quietly.

The two pet beasts faced each other, their eyes locked in an intense stare.

When the referee signaled the start of the match,

The girl in the hat and Qiao Sang simultaneously gave the command to charge.

The eyes of Huoyagou and the Mighty Pig had already clashed for hundreds of rounds, and they were ready to strike at any moment.

With their Tamers' commands, they simultaneously charged at each other with full force.

The momentum of both sides was quite strong.

The two pet beasts collided mercilessly, neither side backing down.

The next second, the Mighty Pig was sent flying.

Huoyagou stood firm, his face cold, and raised his triangular sunglasses with his paw.

"The Mighty Pig has lost its ability to fight. Contestant Qiao Sang wins," the referee announced.

"Zhu zhu!"

The girl in the hat ran to the Mighty Pig, her voice trembling with tears.

Qiao Sang felt a bit guilty.

She had promised to go easy...

She didn't expect the Mighty Pig to be so weak...

Huoyagou's experience with charging was indeed quite rich.

He practiced charging at a tree every day with weighted rings.

It was normal for him to knock out a beginner pet beast in one go.

But the Mighty Pig was a Fighting-type pet beast known for its strength.

This felt a bit abnormal...
