Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Chapter 446: National Competition Begins

As time moved forward, a well-dressed, handsome man stood atop a medium-sized Flight Type Pet Beast with mostly white plumage and fan-shaped tail feathers, appearing mid-air in the center of the arena.

The man’s voice rose, echoing above the field:

"Hello, everyone, this is the venue for the 336th National Campus Beast Taming Competition!"

His voice was crisp and powerful, and as soon as he finished this sentence, it made people’s blood race.

All automatically quieted down, turning their gazes toward him.

The man continued:

"This competition will be broadcasted live in various regions across the country, and I believe that the people of the nation will be able to witness your spectacular performances!"

"Next, allow me to introduce the leaders and guests attending the opening ceremony!"

About 70% of the audience in attendance were students, with the rest comprised mainly of friends and relatives of the contestants, as well as teachers and leaders from their schools.

Despite the presence of social figures among the friends and relatives, the crowd maintained a level of order amidst so many students and refrained from joking around during the host’s introductions.

So solemn... the formal atmosphere made Qiao Sang feel somewhat unaccustomed.

"Which one is Qiao Sang?" In the first row of the spectator seats, where several leaders were seated, an elderly man with graying hair squinted in the direction of the contestant area and inquired.

"It’s that one over there, whose Pet Beast in the embrace is eating something," a bald man next to him remarked, pointing towards a spot in the contestant area.

The elderly man squinted even more as he followed the direction pointed out to him.

"Clear."

At that moment, a cat-like Pet Beast with a leaf on its head lying on the man’s legs meowed. The leaf shook, releasing some green-glowing powder.

The powder blew into the old man’s eyes, and instantly the world before him became crystal clear.

"So that’s what she looks like," the elderly man said. "Did she agree to let the Treasure-seeking Demon move its opponent out of the field directly without using Spatial Movement?"

The bald man shook his head: "I don’t know."

The elderly man opened his mouth to speak, but the voice of the man on the field rang out:

"Now, let’s welcome Minister Wang from the Chong Island Region, the Headquarters of Education!"

The elderly man stopped speaking and patted the cat-like Pet Beast with the leaf on its head, which then vanished.

Amidst the applause, the elderly man stood up and waved his hand.

...

It took the man in the center of the field over ten minutes to finish introducing the leaders and guests from various regions.

Without further ado, he waved his hand and announced loudly:

"Next, we will proceed to the pairing for the first contest. Please look at the big screen!"

As his words fell, a huge cubic virtual display appeared above the field.

About a hundred photos surfaced and then scrambled tumultuously.

Soon, the photos settled into place.

[Beilun Region, Gao Jianyu VS Dongga Region, Sun Yi]

[Ancient Sun Region, Mao Shilei VS Liaoxi Area, Liao Qiang]

[Zitiya Region, Zhou Shanliang VS Ancient Mist Region, Hu Fan]

[Tuwei Region, Li Haoxia VS Zhongkong Region, Xia Fengyuan]

...

[Lianbo District, Wu Hengxu VS Yuhua Region, Qiao Sang]

...

A total of 65 pairs, 130 people in all.

"Wu Hengxu, advanced to the national competition ranked 39th in the regional contest, with a Thunder-type mid-level Pet Beast and a Ground Type combined with an Evil Type mid-level Pet Beast." Looking at the screen showing Qiao Sang’s opponent, Sun Boyi quickly flipped to the relevant page in his materials, speaking swiftly.
