"When you spoke to me backstage just now, I was puzzled for a while, almost thinking my memory had gotten worse."
Yuan Tianlong laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you that I changed my appearance."
Honestly, he never expected that the person who could get the Saw Sound Dragon to willingly carry them back then was a Beast Tamer contracted with a Qingyin Fairy, so young yet so formidable, furthermore achieving such good results by making it to the semi-finals in the regional competition.
He almost forgot about that...
Qiao Sang curiously asked:
"What did you use to change your appearance?"
As a possible opponent at any time, she had gathered information about Yuan Tianlong, and among his Pet Beasts, none of them had a skill to change appearances.
"It’s the Face Pinching Monster," Yuan Tianlong said. "I hired it, long-term."
The Face Pinching Monster, a regular type high-level Pet Beast, lacks combat ability, but its face pinching trait is much appreciated; it can spew white clay onto one’s face which is absorbed, and then shape the face and features into whatever one likes.
Although the role of the Face Pinching Monster is quite remarkable, because they are rare, they can hardly be seen on the road.
As expected from someone whose pet beasts are all Dragon-type, being rich enough to hire a Face Pinching Monster, and long-term too... Qiao Sang internally marveled, just as she was about to ask how he managed to hire the Face Pinching Monster.
The host’s voice rang out at this moment:
"The list for the semi-finals is out; please look at the big screen!"
Qiao Sang turned her head to look at the big screen:
[Yuan Tianlong VS Wen Ruihe]
[Wu Tianjiao VS Qiao Sang]
"Looks like we’ll meet in the final match," Yuan Tianlong said.
Qiao Sang heard his voice and turned her head, but saw the other had already stood up and left.
"Saw Saw."
The Saw Sound Dragon politely waved its claws, following its Beast Tamer’s steps.
We’ll meet in the final match... Do you trust me that much... Qiao Sang refocused her attention and looked again at the giant virtual screen.
Wu Tianjiao, among all the contestants, only she has the Four Poison Algae Flower.
And the Four Poison Algae Flower was the Pet Beast that appeared when Gangbao dreamed of evolving.
"Steel Sword..."
Gangbao sensed its Beast Tamer’s thoughts, its gaze falling on the photo of Wu Tianjiao.
...
The sun set in the west.
Beast Taming Center.
"Steel Sword."
Before Qiao Sang could answer, Gangbao had proactively chirped, indicating it was its idea. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Mikaela looked over:
"You?"
"Steel Sword." Gangbao nodded.
Qiao Sang, both sentimental and somewhat proud, said, "I hadn’t thought of it at the time, but it truly was a great move."
Mikaela chuckled, unusually complimenting, "That move was impressive; achieving the goal without expending any energy. How did you think of it?"
Gangbao subtly glanced at Lubao.
Feeling the gaze, Lubao raised its head: "???"
Qiao Sang noticed their exchange of looks and quickly said:
"Because Lubao is also a Water-type, it usually likes being clean, so Gangbao thought maybe all Water-type Pet Beasts were like that, thus using this move."
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao nodded, confirming that was indeed the case.
Lubao withdrew its gaze and continued training its Ice Armor.
