Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 65 - 61: Why Don’t You Speak?

Chapter 65: Chapter 61: Why Don’t You Speak?

July 5th.

Qiao Sang arrived at her usual spot in the Pet Beast Arena two days prior, unsurprised to find Bai Yunmiao already there.

Since Bai Yunmiao had come for Sha Duo, even if her parents hadn’t argued, she would have found another reason to come to the event.

“Did you bring the mirror?” Qiao Sang asked as she sat down.

“I brought it.” Bai Yunmiao took the mirror out of her bag and handed it over, expressing her surprise as she watched Qiao Sang meticulously check her reflection, “Qiao the Genius, why are you suddenly so conscious about your appearance?”

It’s not that Qiao Sang didn’t care about her appearance before.

Usually, she just tied her hair in a ponytail, and she always took the bus to the Shouke Garden, preferring to sit by the window and enjoy the breeze.

As a result, by the time she arrived at the Pet Beast Arena, even if her ponytail was neat, the hair in front would still be somewhat disheveled.

Contrasted with others who had meticulously groomed themselves, it gave others the false impression that she wasn’t too concerned about her appearance.

Once Qiao Sang confirmed that her reflection in the mirror was no different from usual, she hesitated, “I don’t know if I’m being too narcissistic, but I feel like a lot of people are staring at me today.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog beside her watched its Beast Tamer put down the mirror and then took it with its paw to check its own reflection.

“Ya Ya.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog agreed with a nod while looking at itself.

Many people were staring at it too.

Realization dawned on Bai Yunmiao, and she laughed, “Sha Duo praised you so much yesterday; it’s normal for people to pay attention to you. Several news articles came out today about it.”

“Is the celebrity effect that serious?” Qiao Sang asked.

“You’re getting off easy. At most, people look at you twice. Last time, a rookie Beast Tamer who was publicly praised by Wang Dian’ao had people find his address, surround him at his doorstep, and challenge him to duels,” Bai Yunmiao reflected, “That wasn’t a duel; it was a group battle. They besieged him for a whole week.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then seriously said, “I appreciate that Sha Duo isn’t as famous as Wang Dian’ao.”

Bai Yunmiao: “…”

…

Only eight contestants remained in the Bai Xinsai.

F-rank Beast Tamers’ matches were short, and even with Pet Beast Performers increasing the duration, it was not possible to have only four matches and determine the top four in one day.

The organizers had already announced the schedule of the event in advance.

The morning of July 5th would determine the top four, followed by the top three in the afternoon.

Today was the final day of the Bai Xinsai.

As time trickled by, more and more people entered.

Qiao Sang, observing the packed audience stands surrounding the Pet Beast Arena, sighed, “I don’t know where the organizers found so many people to watch.”

Just yesterday, a quarter of the seats were empty.

Bai Yunmiao cast a glance her way and asked, “Don’t you ever follow external information?”

She still remembered when she first added Qiao the Genius, messages sent to her went unanswered.

It was not until they met again that she realized there were indeed people in this world who could resist checking their phones.

“I do check it, but I didn’t yesterday,” Qiao Sang replied.

She had spent her time training with the Fire-Toothed Dog and studying their opponents.

“Yesterday, the platform’s official account announced that today there would be an exhibition match between Gao Xulu and Sha Duo. After the match, five lucky audience members would be drawn to get a photo and autographs with them,” Bai Yunmiao explained.

Qiao Sang instantly understood why so many people had shown up.

Gao Xulu was also a contestant in this year’s Yuhua Region competition.

Though he didn’t make the top ten, his ranking was still quite decent.

What was most important was that Sha Duo had been defeated by Gao Xulu.

The organizers really knew how to play their marketing strategies.

Qiao Sang looked towards the commentator’s booth.

Instead of the usual two people, there were now three people seated there.

To the left of the middle-aged commentator sat a woman with chestnut short hair.

It was Gao Xulu.

…

As the opening ceremony came to an end, the images on the big screen above the arena scrambled.

Soon after, the list of the first pair of competitors appeared on-screen.

Hou Yuxiang vs. Yang Qi.

Both are Beast Tamers with two mid-level Pet Beasts, and they are strong contenders for the championship.

Qiao Sang was paying close attention to the field.

When these two competed against each other, they were sure to employ a greater variety of tactics.

In previous matches, due to the disparity in strength, each of their battles was essentially an overwhelming victory.

The Pet Beasts didn’t display much of their strength, leaving no valuable data for effective analysis.

This was also one of the reasons Qiao Sang wasn’t confident about facing them.

However, Qiao Sang didn’t stay focused for long.

Because a minute later, the referee announced the result.

The one who could overwhelm others, Yang Qi, was overwhelmed by Hou Yuxiang…

Hou Yuxiang’s Controlling Electric Imp took control of the match with a single Illusion Ray, casting Yang Qi’s Deity Pigeon into a state of confusion.

Then, while the Deity Pigeon was confused, the Controlling Electric Imp threw it to the ground with Telekinesis, and the match was over.

Qiao Sang fell into thought.

Illusion Ray is a skill unique to Psychic Series Pet Beasts.

It can deal damage and has a certain chance to throw the opponent into confusion, but this chance isn’t very high.

If a creature of the same rank was bewitched so quickly, either it was the opponent’s bad luck or the Illusion Ray had at least reached a minor state of perfection.

Whether or not this move hits mostly depends on luck.

After all, Illusion Ray isn’t a skill that can guarantee to confuse the opponent one hundred percent of the time.

However…

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s luck…

Qiao Sang couldn’t help sighing as he remembered the Fire-Toothed Dog’s scenes of pointing out who would lose.

“One minute of competition, half an hour of performance,” they say, and that’s precisely what’s happening now.

Since the first match ended so quickly, the organizers had to ask the Pet Beast performers to extend their performances.

Fortunately, the performers were professional and did not let the atmosphere at the venue die down.

The second match was between Wei Wenya and Luo Xinlin.

Wei Wenya is the last of the three Beast Tamers who own two mid-level Pet Beasts.

Facing Luo Xinlin’s Fatty Pigeon, Wei Wenya sent out the Electric-type Pet Beast, Electric Naughty Cat, which could specifically counter Flight Types.

The advantage of owning two mid-level Pet Beasts was fully showcased at this moment.

Beast Tamers with only one Pet Beast had no choice, while those with two could choose the most advantageous one to face their opponent’s Pet Beast.

The result was no surprise.

Wei Wenya won the match.

After the Pet Beast performers livened up the atmosphere, the names for the third match appeared on the big screen.

Chen Qian versus Qiao Sang.

In the guest seating area.

“Song Yuan, you have a good eye, this Fire-Toothed Dog looks pretty cool with sunglasses on, with so much media coverage today, if the Fire-Toothed Dog performs well, it could indeed bring considerable traffic to your new online store.”

“This Chen Qian’s Pet Beast is a Two-Tailed Land Turtle, its level is a whole head higher, tough indeed.”

“Qiao Sang has experience defeating higher-ranked Pet Beasts, and Chen Qian’s Two-Tailed Land Turtle was recently evolved; there should be a fight,” said a guest who had been watching from the start of the Bai Xinsai.

“By the way, Song Yuan, what did Qiao Sang say when you contacted him yesterday? Is the live stream’s payment by the session or is it based on a commission from the sales?”

“Song Yuan?”

“Song Yuan, why aren’t you speaking?”

Song Yuan: “…”

She indicated that she didn’t want to speak…

Could she really tell them that after several calls, she had been hung up on and then blocked?

She would definitely be ruthlessly mocked…

On the field.

Both sides were already in place.

Following the referee’s command, a two-meter-tall Two-Tailed Land Turtle with a brown shell on its back appeared before Qiao Sang.
