Chapter 58: Chapter 54 The Third One
The thought once formed seemed increasingly uncontrollable.
Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone to search for the list of next matches in the Interstellar Cup.
Pasuoer versus Chen Mo.
Each match in the Interstellar Cup was a 6V6 format.
99% of the Beast Tamers participating in the Interstellar Cup were S-rank Beastmasters with seven Pet Beasts, so the lineup before each match was unknown.
In a group of seven Pet Beasts, there was definitely one Pet Beast that was benched for the round.
This added a significant level of difficulty for the spectators who wanted to analyze the lineups and attributes before placing their bets.
Qiao Sang had no such trouble.
She directly searched on her mobile for the posters of Pasuoer and Chen Mo with their respective Pet Beasts and lay it in front of the Fire-Toothed Dog.
“Who do you think is stronger and can win?”
The Fire-Toothed Dog studied the matchup seriously.
In the morning, it thought the little chubby pigeon that could win had lost, and just now the big bird it had pointed out had lost too, yet its Beastmaster still trusted it enough to ask for its opinion on this matter.
This time it would definitely not let down its Beastmaster’s trust; it would prove itself to her!
“Tooth!”
After pondering for a long while, the Fire-Toothed Dog pointed at the more robust Pasuoer and barked.
Qiao Sang nodded and then logged onto the Interstellar betting network and placed a bet of 1,000 Alliance Currency on Chen Mo.
…
July 2nd.
The screen above the arena was showing photos of the Bai Xinsai 64 to 32 competitors.
In the middle of row 9 in block C.
“It’s rare to see you let out the Goldvine.” Qiao Sang spoke in surprise.
She had encountered Bai Yunmiao a few times before.
Every time she was alone, and even after yesterday’s match, she immediately withdrew the Goldvine.
“Didn’t I get interviewed yesterday? When I watched the video at home, little Jin saw it and complained I didn’t bring it. Today it clamored to come out and be interviewed,” Bai Yunmiao said helplessly.
Qiao Sang glanced at the Goldvine.
It had a pink bow tied to the lone vine on its head, indeed sitting pretty as if ready for an interview…
“Never mind about me, what’s with your Fire-Toothed Dog? It looks emotionless—are you sure you didn’t make it angry?” Bai Yunmiao leaned in and whispered.
The notoriety of Fire Attribute Beast remained quite prominent among rookie Beast Tamers.
Even though the Fire-Toothed Dog always seemed obedient, if it showed even the slightest sign of discontent, Bai Yunmiao would still feel uneasy.
“No, it’s about what you said yesterday, how its expressions were funny.” Qiao Sang explained, “After it watched the video of its own match, it thought managing expressions was important, so it came with a poker face. It will be back to normal after going home when the match is over.”
“Tooth.”
The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded its head coolly.
“So cool!” Bai Yunmiao exclaimed.
The Fire-Toothed Dog suppressed the urge to smile and lifted its head 45 degrees upwards.
Qiao Sang: “…”
After the first match began, Qiao Sang looked around and asked, “Why are there less than half as many people here today?”
“Did you see Lin Ya’s match yesterday?” Bai Yunmiao returned with a question instead of answering directly.
“I only watched the last one.” Qiao Sang replied.
“Didn’t Lin Ya lose? He made it into the top 10 in the last two Interstellar Cups, but this time he was ranked outside of top 10. I guess most people couldn’t accept it at the moment and didn’t have the heart to come,” Bai Yunmiao explained.
Qiao Sang understood.
As the only competitor from Dragon Country on Blue Star, everyone pinned their hopes on Lin Ya. The emotional setback of his loss was definitely far more severe than when the national soccer team failed to make it into the World Cup in the past.
Not to mention other aspects, just from an emotional standpoint, people back then didn’t have much hope for the soccer team and were still deeply pained and critically disappointed when they lost.
But now, Dragon Country had placed great expectations on Lin Ya.
…
“The contestant Guo Yiqi won his last match easily, but this round, he’s in a predicament,” the middle-aged commentator said in a slightly hoarse voice devoid of emotion.
His state of mind was worlds different from yesterday’s.
In the spectator stands, parents who had come to watch their children compete were talking to one another.
“How much did you lose yesterday?”
