Today, she had observed the first players sent out by each school and gauged their general level of strength, which was pretty good, but not overwhelmingly strong as she had imagined.
It wasn’t that the compatibility between their Pet Beasts was worse than Yaobao and Lubao’s after two days of training, but rather that their Pet Beasts were mostly teams of two mid-level ones, with just a few individuals pairing a high-level with a mid-level Pet Beast.
In such circumstances, she still had enough confidence in Xiao Xunbao and Gangbao to win the match when they entered the arena.
After all, Xiao Xunbao’s ability made it extremely suitable for team battles.
Even if the opponent had a Pet Beast with a higher level than Little Steel Falcon, they could rely on team cooperation to bridge the gap in strength.
"Xun~"
Xiao Xunbao stopped what it was doing, lifted its head with an easygoing expression, and chirped, indicating there was no problem.
Today, it had been watching invisibly from the sidelines, feeling that it’s not even as formidable as big brother Yaobao and Lubao.
"Gang Gang."
Gangbao then paused, and afterward nodded seriously, indicating it could do it.
It hadn’t expected its Beast Tamer to send it into battle. It had watched the whole competition today and felt that every competitor was stronger than itself...
For a moment, Gangbao felt as though it bore a heavy mission.
It did not want to lose.
...
That night, just as Gangbao closed its eyes to sleep, it opened them again and got up, walking over to where Xiao Xunbao was playing with a cell phone.
"Gang Gang."
Gangbao nudged Xiao Xunbao with its wing.
"Xun Xun?"
Xiao Xunbao turned its head, displaying a puzzled expression.
"Gang Gang."
"Gang Gang."
Gangbao called out softly twice, suggesting they should take advantage of the remaining time to go out for a bit more training, given the competition was the next day.
"Xun Xun?!"
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes widened in shock.
How could you have such a terrifying idea?! Nighttime is for resting!
"Gang Gang."
Gangbao looked determined, but the competition was the next day, after all.
Relieved, Xiao Xunbao realized that was what Gangbao was worried about.
"Xun Xun~"
It patted Gangbao’s shoulder with its claw, calling out like an elder brother, signaling, don’t worry, we won’t lose even without training.
"Gang Gang."
Gangbao brushed Xiao Xunbao’s claw off its own shoulder with its wing.
It wasn’t reassured.
Xiao Xunbao: "..."
...
At 7:30 in the morning, Qiao Sang, who had been up all night cramming at her desk, heard a "thud" as something hit the floor.
She turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao, who had gone out in the middle of the night, face down on the floor.
Qiao Sang was startled, "What happened to you?"
"Xun Xun..."
Xiao Xunbao struggled to lift its head, revealing a face that seemed to have aged several years overnight.
The next second, it face-planted once more and collapsed to the ground.
"Gang Gang."
At that moment, Little Steel Falcon flew in through the open window, dark circles under its eyes, and chirped, indicating it was no big deal, it had just trained all night.
Qiao Sang: "..."
So there’s such a big difference between staying up all night playing on a cell phone and staying up all night training...
While contemplating this, Qiao Sang got up and bent over to pick up Xiao Xunbao, turning her attention to the already awake Lubao.
Before she could speak, Lubao already knew what its Beast Tamer wanted to say; it looked amusingly at Xiao Xunbao that seemed completely out of commission.
Then, a blue light emanated from the gemstone on its forehead.
A few seconds later, the dark circles under Qiao Sang’s, Xiao Xunbao’s, and Gangbao’s eyes were all gone.
"Xun Xun!"
As Thompson turned his head, his gaze met Qiao Sang’s. His previously calm expression suddenly stiffened, and he immediately stood up and walked towards another seat. freēwēbnovel.com
