I lost... I actually lost... Zhao Chuanyu stared at the scene of his Red Swift Dragon being carried away, his expression dazed, his mind a blank.
A camera timely gave him a close-up shot of his face.
The audience went silent.
A few seconds later, with the exception of Zhongkong Region’s audience, who looked displeased, the audiences from all the other regions burst into excitement.
Especially the Yuhua Region audience, who were screaming wildly, some were even so excited that they were close to tears.
"Ah! We won! Qiao Sang won!"
"Liaoxing Dog! Liaoxing Dog!"
"I knew it! I knew Qiao Sang would win!"
"Zhao Chuanyu actually lost! I never dreamed he would lose! I always thought he would be the champion of this National School Beast Taming League!"
"The Red Swift Dragon was only contracted later on, it didn’t even listen to Zhao Chuanyu once."
"That’s why it’s better to raise a Pet Beast from a young age; otherwise, it might stab you in the back at a crucial moment, and you’d have nowhere to cry."
"Even if the Red Swift Dragon had listened to Zhao Chuanyu in that round, it still wouldn’t have been a match for the Liaoxing Dog. Didn’t you see it was being dominated from the very start?"
"Speaking of which, what was up with that Red Swift Dragon during that round? It’s bad enough it didn’t follow orders, but then it just stood still, looking as though it had been attacked even though the Liaoxing Dog clearly hadn’t done anything."
"Your eyes really aren’t working, huh? The Red Swift Dragon was attacked; it got burns all over, and that red area was spreading fast. It almost looked like it was about to be scorched."
"What skill is this? It’s so strange, invisible to the eye?"
"If I’m not mistaken, the Liaoxing Dog must have used ’Phantom Flame’."
"What’s Phantom Flame?"
"You dunce, go look it up yourself."
"..."
"Yuhua Region is really something, huh. Previously they could hardly make it into the top ten, and now they’ve got someone in the finals."
"To be honest, with Zhao Chuanyu out, neither Zhang Wandi nor Tang Yi stands a chance against Qiao Sang, no matter who wins."
"Just thinking that Qiao Sang is only a freshman makes me feel ashamed for the senior students."
"What grade are you in?"
"Heh, I’m a sophomore."
...
In the first row of the audience, the leaders’ area.
"It looks like one slot for The Interstellar transfer students is pretty much decided," said Minister Wang from Chong Island region, turning his head to look at a colleague next to him:
"Minister Zhou, congratulations."
Minister Zhou couldn’t conceal his smile, his cheeks twitching with glee: "Oh, it’s nothing. Your region still has Zhang Wandi, right? It might just be my turn to congratulate you soon."
Minister Wang laughed and gave him a knowing glance to the side.
Minister Zhou’s smile remained unchanged as he followed Wang’s glance, only to find Minister Yan from Zhongkong Region watching him expressionlessly, causing Zhou’s expression to stiffen.
"Minister Zhou, did she receive the message I asked you to pass on to Qiao Sang last time?" Minister Yan inquired.
Minister Zhou quickly forced a smile: "She did, she did."
Minister Yan continued, "There’s not much time left before the college entrance exams. You might want to have Qiao Sang’s teacher focus on catching her up on her studies."
She’s from my region, why do you care so much about her... Minister Zhou internally complained while maintaining a respectful demeanor: "Understood."
Minister Yan went on:
"Although she’s only a freshman, her Beast Taming Talent is exceptional. It would be a pity for such talent to apply to just any key university, she should aim for the best ones."
With that, he fixed his gaze on Minister Zhou: "Don’t you agree?"
You cunning old thing, so that’s your game. Everyone knows that the top universities are practically all in the Zhongkong Region. But with Qiao Sang’s academic results, it seems your wishful thinking might be misplaced... Minister Zhou inwardly scoffed, his face showing agreement:
"You’re absolutely right, Minister Yan."
Minister Lan, listening from the side, eyes flickering with thought, suddenly had an idea: If Qiao Sang could come to study in the Ancient Mist Region for college...
...
Two hours later, at the Mutin Hotel.
Although Lubao didn’t show much change in expression, it still watched Yaobao’s gestures with face-saving attention. freewēbnoveℓ.com
