1230. Chapter 1225 It Wants to Try (Two in One)
“Why?” Lei Da paused, puzzled.
Thunder Dragon had been happily accumulating points during the thunderstorms lately, and with only about a week left until the tournament, it was even more important to hurry up and fight.
Qiao Sang sighed and said,
“Just check the news,”
before hanging up.
Qiao Sang put down his phone, looked at the delicious-looking meal in front of him, and suddenly lost his appetite.
This was too difficult. Tingbao had been reported for finding opponents specifically countered by his specialization, and now the venue change had been reported as well. How was he going to rack up points next…
“Tingting.”
Tingbao had been so focused on eating that he didn’t hear the news. As soon as he finished his plate of energy pills, he looked up and barked, indicating that he was done and could immediately go out and find an opponent.
“Tingting?”
He barked, indicating when the Thunderbird would arrive today.
Qiao Sang looked at him and said, “It’s not coming today.”
“Tingting?”
Tingbao was stunned for a moment, then a puzzled expression.
Why wasn’t it coming? If it hadn’t, would it still be able to challenge so many opponents today?
“Xunxun…”
Before Qiao Sang could reply, little Xunbao swallowed his energy pill and sighed.
If there weren’t thunderstorms, you could only challenge eight people at most, as before.
“Because the news just now clearly stated that allowing pets other than those competing to change the weather at the venue is a violation. If caught, you’ll be suspended for varying periods of time,” Qiao Sang explained.
The competition only had nine days left. If he were suspended again, he’d probably have no chance to participate again, let alone reach the top of the points.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao, still not understanding the gravity of the situation, thought for a moment and then cried out.
If there weren’t thunderstorms, could he challenge eight people at once and reach the top of the points?
“I’m afraid not,” Qiao Sang said honestly.
At his current rate of progress, he’d have to find opponents every day to even surpass the Earth Dragon.
“Tingting!”
Tingbao fretted, his voice waving, indicating what he was going to do!
If he couldn’t reach the top of the points, wouldn’t he be unable to battle that pesky Earth Dragon again?
“Don’t worry, let me think about it,” Qiao Sang soothed.
Mikaela guessed what the conversation was about based on the previous news, the conversation, and Tingbao’s expression. She couldn’t help but ask,
“How many points does Thunder Dragon have now?”
“11,003,” Qiao Sang replied.
Lately, she’d been taking Tingbao out to find opponents, so she naturally knew the exact number.
“What about Earth Dragon?” Mikaela asked.
Qiao Sang picked up her phone, searched, and said, “14,250.”
The scores of the top ten players in the Pet Free Points Battle were updated in real time on the official website, allowing for exact numbers.
“How many days are left until the competition ends?” Mikaela asked.
“Nine days,” Qiao Sang said.
Mikaela thought for a moment and said, “That’s too short. There are many ways to get a pet to agree to a battle, not just this one.”
Qiao Sang said helplessly,
“You don’t know how stubborn that Earth Dragon is. In some ways, it’s quite similar to the Dragon King.”
Just like when the Dragon King wanted his species’s little grinding dragon to form a contract with him, no matter how many times he tried, it wouldn’t stick. It was only after she contracted Tingbao that it finally gave up.
The Dragon King remained expressionless, watching the TV.
It took it as a compliment.
Mikaela glanced at the Dragon King, instantly understanding the Earth Dragon’s difficulty
. She said, “You’ll have to figure this out on your own, but don’t get too hung up on it.” What she meant was that even if she couldn’t achieve first place in points, there was still plenty of time to find a way to get Earth Dragon to agree to a fight.
As an S-rank Beast Tamer, a competition of this magnitude wasn’t worth her involvement.
She’d originally proposed this competition to give Thunder Dragon more battles and growth. When she learned the competition would last six months, with only a month remaining, she knew it was practically impossible for Thunder Dragon to achieve first place in points.
A crucial element in challenging multiple opponents simultaneously is possessing large-scale offensive abilities, something Thunder Dragon lacked.
Qiao Sang understood Mikaela’s point and nodded,
“I understand.”
She wouldn’t dwell on it; it was Tingbao who would.
“Tingting…”
Tingbao had grown anxious as Qiao Sang and Mikaela talked.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out soothingly, reassuring him that he was relieved. If all else failed, he’d hypnotize the Earth Dragon and have it fight him.
“Tingting!”
Tingbao, remembering the vacant expressions of those hypnotized by Little Xunbao before, cried out in protest, signaling that he didn’t want that.
“Ya Ya!”
Yabao called out, listening to the conversation.
Why not give that little creature a good beating and force it to fight you?
In his opinion, there was nothing a fight couldn’t solve.
“Bingdi.”
The previously quiet Lubao glanced at Yabao and called out, suggesting that an Emperor-level being would dare to fight a mid-level one. How dare he?
Yabao thought about it.
The opponent seemed a bit too weak…
“Ya Ya…”
Thinking of this, Yabao called out to Tingbao with a helpless expression, indicating that he had no other options.
“Xia Xia,”
Xia Lala suggested, observing the listless expressions of everyone else.
She’d talk to the Earth Dragon; maybe it would agree.
In its memory, no matter what it said, the surrounding pets would more or less give it some face.
“Qingqing,”
Qingbao called out, indicating that there was no need to intervene, as the in-house beastmaster could handle this small matter.
Huh? What am I supposed to solve? Tingbao’s top score? If they can’t change the weather at the venue, isn’t that too much of a compliment? How can this even be considered a small matter? A series of thoughts raced through Qiao Sang’s mind, while he maintained a contemplative look.
“Steel Chieftain,”
Gangbao silently glanced at his beastmaster and called out calmly, suggesting he had a solution.
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and he turned to look. “What solution?”
“Tingting?”
Tingbao’s eyes lit up as well, eagerly demanding.
Yabao and the others also looked over.
“Steel Chieftain,”
Gangbao called out calmly, suggesting that since the other party was dissatisfied with Tingbao’s weakness, we could find a mid-level pet to battle it, defeat it, and then have Tingbao defeat that mid-level pet. That way, the Earth Dragon should know Tingbao wasn’t weak.
Good idea… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up again.
But she quickly thought of something and sighed, “A pet like this isn’t easy to find.”
After all, Huachang City’s intermediate pets had almost all participated in the free pet point competition, and Tululong ranked first in points, making him, in a sense, the recognized strongest among the intermediate pets.
Rather than finding an intermediate pet stronger than Tululong, finding a way to quickly accumulate points seemed more feasible.
Gangbao agreed and continued to eat his energy pills.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao waved his paws, giving Tingbao a helpless look and calling out. “
It’s a pity, Boss, I’m already King-level. Otherwise, if I were still Intermediate, I would definitely help you with Tululong for a while.
” “Ya Ya,”
Yabao nodded in agreement.
It’s a pity he was already Emperor-level.
Then, a thought struck him, and he called out as if stating a fact:
“Ya Ya.”
Even if he were an Intermediate and defeated Tululong, you can’t defeat me.
Lubao rolled his eyes.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao thought for a moment and preferred to get the first place in points first, and then Tululong would take the initiative to find him to fight. He looked at his beastmaster and called out expectantly.
Is there any other way to make it accumulate points quickly?
“I’m still thinking about it.” Qiao Sang said.
In fact, there are still many ways to quickly score points. For example, before the game, let other pets consume a wave of pets participating in the game, and then let Tingbao come out to invite a group of opponents who have exhausted most of their physical strength and energy to fight.
Or let Xiao Xunbao cast a bad luck curse on all the participating pets before the game, so that their chances of winning the game will be greatly reduced.
Or let Tingbao drink a potion that enhances attack power before the game, and then compete. Anyway, there will be no formal physical examination before the game…
“Tingting?”
Just as Qiao Sang was pondering this, Tingbao called out.
If it was illegal for a pet other than a competitor to change the weather at the venue, could it learn and use Thunder Weather?
… Qiao Sang’s face twitched, and he said politely,
“It’s a high-level skill. With only nine days left before the competition, we don’t have time to learn it.”
Why not? Tingbao felt he could do it.
He called out earnestly,
“Tingting.”
Lubao’s healing light allowed him to stay awake at night, allowing him to practice when he couldn’t find an opponent.
Hearing this, Lubao glanced at him.
“No,” Qiao Sang objected, “You’re still in your developmental stages, you can’t afford to skip sleep.”
Then, she soothed him, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way.”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao was silent for a few seconds, then, realizing he couldn’t convince his beastmaster, nodded.
…
One o’clock in the morning.
In the bedroom, Tingbao, who had been closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced at his sleeping beastmaster, forced his sleepiness to twist his body, and flew up, opening the door and flying towards the open-air training ground.
It glanced up at the sky, and just as it was about to soar into the sky, little Xunbao’s surprised voice echoed beside it:
“Xunxun?”
Why aren’t you asleep yet?
“Tingting.”
Tingbao paused, looked at little Xunbao, and called out, indicating that it wanted to practice thunder and lightning weather.
“Xunxun?”
little Xunbao called out curiously. “
Do you know how to practice?
” Tingbao’s body stiffened for a moment.
“Tingting.”
Two seconds later, Tingbao shook his head honestly.
He didn’t know, but he wanted to try anyway.
“Xunxun?”
little Xunbao called out with a puzzled look. “
Why are you practicing when everyone else is asleep?”
“Tingting.”
Tingbao called out. “
You forgot I’ve been out competing all day and haven’t had time to practice.
” “Xunxun~”
little Xunbao called out. “
You could have come back earlier.
” “Tingting.”
Tingbao shook his head without even thinking.
No, it needed to accumulate points.
“Xunxun!”
little Xunbao remembered something, and with a look of sudden realization, he called out. “
You want to practice thunder and lightning weather and then devour the lightning yourself!
” “Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded.
I’d fought many opponents today, but none of them had accumulated as many points as I’d earned by swallowing lightning.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out, his expression hesitant.
But his beastmaster said it was impossible to master this skill in the remaining nine days.
“Tingting,”
Tingbao called out firmly.
But he wanted to give it a try.
His mind was preoccupied with another battle with the Earth Dragon that looked down on him. He wanted to try any method, and right now, the only way to quickly accumulate points was to swallow lightning.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao sighed and called out, noticing Tingbao’s expression. “
Then give it a try.
” “Tingting.”
Tingbao nodded to Little Xunbao and looked up.
Just as he was about to take flight again, a voice rang out:
“Ice Emperor.”
Tingbao froze for a moment and turned to look.
Lubao hadn’t seen him approach.
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao called out with surprise. “
Why are you here too?
” “Ice Emperor,”
Lubao called out, acknowledging his arousal.
Then, quite suddenly, the gemstone on his forehead glowed with a faint blue light, illuminating Tingbao.
Tingbao was stunned again.
“Tingting!”
When the faint blue light dissipated, Tingbao’s sleepiness was gone. A grateful expression flashed across his face, and he called out to Lubao.
Lubao said nothing and turned away.
Seeing Tingbao come out to train that night, he inexplicably thought of himself, who had once fought to catch up with Yabao.
No matter what the outcome, as long as he had tried and didn’t regret it, it was fine.
Just as he was thinking, he spotted his own Beastmaster in the living room.
“Bingdi.”
Lubao paused, a hint of a smile on her face, and called out. “
I knew you’d come out. “
Qiao Sang sighed,
“You all went outside without sleeping, so how could I not come out?”
Now, her brain had reached the level of an A-level Beastmaster, and her five senses were incredibly sharp. The slightest movement would wake her.
“Bingdi?”
Lubao called out, indicating that she needed to cast the Healing Light on you.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment. “Come on.”
Lu Bao smiled again, the gemstone on her forehead emitting a faint blue light, illuminating her beastmaster.
Half a minute later, Qiao Sang walked to the open-air training ground, refreshed.
She looked up at Ting Bao, soaring high into the sky, and sighed inwardly. He’s such a stubborn kid! He agreed on the surface, but he still sneaks out for training at night. He clearly doesn’t enjoy training…
Little Xun Bao noticed their beastmaster and floated over, calling out,
“Xun Xun~”
You’re not asleep either!
Qiao Sang looked at him.
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao, being stared at like that, remembered something. His body stiffened, a guilty expression on his face. He handed the phone over and called out.
He had just received it and hadn’t played with it much yet…
… Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched, and he didn’t take the phone, saying,
“Give it to me when it’s daybreak.”
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, then happily floated towards the living room with the phone.
Qiao Sang looked up at the sky and said,
“Tingbao, come down first.”
It was late at night and quiet, and the voice reached Tingbao’s ears clearly.
His body stiffened slightly, and then he flew down, landing in front of his beastmaster.
“Didn’t I tell you that you’re still growing and can’t stay awake at night?” Qiao Sang said.
Tingbao didn’t say anything, his expression a little stubborn.
Just when he thought his beastmaster would let him go back to sleep, Qiao Sang said in a conciliatory tone,
“After the free pet points competition is over, you have to adjust your sleep schedule back to me.” (End of this chapter)
