Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625: Chapter 566: Don’t Win Too Easily

The top five still needed to select one player to have a bye?!

She had just thought of a method for Gangbao to quickly accumulate points, and now she was directly promoted to the semifinals?

Based on the previous round, defeating a mid-level Pet Beast was worth 80 points, so without a single High Level Pet Beast competing in two matches, that would still amount to 320 points.

A whole 320 points just gone?

Qiao Sang stayed silent for a long while.

Although what Alva had said wasn’t pleasant to hear, having the strongest player take a bye was indeed a common practice in many competitions.

Damn, being labeled the strongest after just two rounds—wasn’t that a bit too hasty?

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she abruptly stood up.

"What happened?" Alva asked.

"I’m going to the restroom," Qiao Sang said, then turned and walked away.

Going to the restroom was obviously a ruse. Taking advantage of the fact that people from other schools had not yet left the venue, Qiao Sang went out alone to find a secluded spot.

"Don’t win too easily in this afternoon’s matches," Qiao Sang told Xiao Xunbao and Gangbao.

The so-called bye was still just Alva’s speculation, but compared to others, her performance in the first two rounds was indeed stronger. However, there was still one match in the afternoon before the byes would be determined. She could deliberately perform weaker to make the leaders think she wasn’t the right choice for a bye.

"Xun Xun?"

Xiao Xunbao looked puzzled.

Why?

"So we can fight in more matches," Qiao Sang said truthfully. "Otherwise, I might continuously have byes and directly advance to the semifinals."

"Xun Xun?"

Xiao Xunbao seemed confused. Wasn’t advancing directly to the semifinals a good thing?

"Gangbao needs to fight in more matches to improve its strength," Qiao Sang explained patiently.

After this friendly tournament ended, she would have to return to Sector Three. Even if Gangbao didn’t actively accumulate points, it would still receive a fixed number of points added to its level every day. Evolving was just a matter of time, and opportunities to farm points through team battles like this were rare.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao came to understand, patted its chest with its paw, indicating it had it covered.

As long as Number Four went to bed on time like last night and didn’t call it out for all-night training, fighting in a few more matches wouldn’t be a problem!

Gangbao fluttered its wings but didn’t speak.

In its view, whether the matches could be won easily wasn’t up to it. It was up to Xiao Xunbao to pay attention.

...

At two-thirty in the afternoon, at the Pet Beast competition venue.

Qiao Sang held Yaobao while watching the match on the field.

Magee was sitting right next to her.

Now that Sainan High School was left with only Qiao Sang, he had to be extra cautious.

"Which two Pet Beasts are you planning to send out for the match?" Magee asked.

"I haven’t decided yet," Qiao Sang responded.

Revealing information about Pet Beasts before a match was taboo. With people all around, Qiao Sang instinctively concealed it.

"Send whoever, but don’t send Little Steel Falcon," Magee said in a lowered voice.

"Why not?" Qiao Sang frowned.

"I spoke with the higher-ups from Sahel School at lunch, and they all think you’re the strongest contestant this time. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll have a bye after this match," Magee said gravely:

"Little Steel Falcon is still a beginner stage Pet Beast after all. You should send out a Pet Beast that you’re more confident in to secure this critical match."

Qiao Sang looked at him and said with righteousness:

"Teacher, this is a friendly match. Winning or losing isn’t important. I came here for the exchange."
