Chapter 1468 Watching the Star Cup
Chapter 1468 Watching the Star Cup
Yuan Dynasty.
A beast-taming arena large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
The stadium was bustling with activity; even those hundreds of meters away could feel the enthusiasm of the spectators.
Outside the stadium, a certain area was almost entirely filled with tourists and reporters who were not authorized to enter.
Nearly a hundred reporters were broadcasting the grand event live outside the stadium.
"I'm right outside the Gao Arena right now," a reporter said passionately to the camera. "The spectators are all inside now, and the Star Cup semi-finals will start in two minutes. Then, the highly anticipated matches will begin! In a few hours, we'll know the list of the first finalists for this year's Star Cup! Oh, what's that? New spectators have entered the Star Cup venue! I didn't expect anyone to be late on such a grand occasion. But every day the Star Cup is held, Yuan City is always congested."
As the reporter covered the story, the camera followed the entrance to the arena, showing the two people and a group of lavishly dressed pets completing their ticket checks and entering the arena.
As soon as Qiao Sang entered, she heard frantic screams and shouts. The audience was so excited that it seemed as if the winner had already been decided.
"Has the match already started?" Qiao Sang quickened his pace.
“One minute left,” Michaela said, glancing at the time on her phone.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao shouted excitedly, indicating that he wanted to walk faster.
It couldn't wait to be at the competition venue right now.
Listening to the commotion in the arena, Little Treasure recalled the mass of black heads and beast heads he had seen on television. On a whim, he took off his ring, pulled out a colorful wig, and put it on.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao floated over to its side and called out, as if to say, "Didn't you want to keep a low profile? Why are you wearing such an eye-catching wig?"
"Looking around~"
While putting on the wig, Little Treasure glanced at Qingbao with a "you don't understand" expression and barked, indicating that its own golden hair was more eye-catching.
Qingbao: "."
Tingbao glanced at Xiaoxunbao from the side and thought to itself that its boss seemed to want to be recognized.
“Michael.” A mature female voice rang out.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with red hair and black eyes standing about ten meters away. She was dressed in a black suit and looked to be only about thirty years old. Beside her was a mechanical pet beast with a body about two meters long, made of black spheres and dressed in formal attire.
“Wang Yin.” Michaela nodded slightly to her and went to greet her.
Wang Yin's eyes lit up. She bypassed the oncoming Michaela and came to stand in front of Qiao Sang, scrutinizing her carefully with a look in her eyes as if she were looking at a mythical beast.
"This must be Josan. So young, yet he won the Master Challenge. I've never seen anything like it in all my years. By the way, is Michaela good to you? If not, tell me."
Then, Josan looked at Teacher Michaela with pleading eyes.
Michaela interrupted expressionlessly, "Wang Yin, I didn't bring Qiao Sang here to hear you say these things."
As soon as the words were spoken, the host's enthusiastic voice rang out: "Next, let's welcome contestant Igor!"
Deafening cheers and screams immediately erupted.
The sound was so loud that it caused the air to vibrate.
"Teeth!"
Hearing the sounds coming from the scene, Ya Bao cried out anxiously, "Stop talking, let's go watch the game!"
Despite her dissatisfaction with Michaela, Wang Yin didn't want to miss the Star Cup match, even if it was just the first minute. She smiled at Qiao Sang and said, "Let's talk about it when we get there."
After speaking, he glanced at the humanoid mechanical pet beast dressed in formal attire to the side.
Without saying a word, the humanoid mechanical pet's eyes glowed blue, and the next second, all the figures disappeared from the spot.
Inside a luxurious VIP box with a 360-degree unobstructed view of the match through glass, three people and a group of pets appeared out of thin air.
As Qiao Sang regained her sight, the first thing she saw outside were the figures of two interstellar superstars. Her gaze fixed on one of the figures, and her eyes lit up instantly.
Her first thought was: Holy crap! Igor! She saw Igor! Is this the StarCraft Cup?! There are so many people here! It feels like there are more than ten times the number of people at the Master Challenge!
Then came the second thought: Teacher Wang Yin had actually booked a deluxe VIP room!
It's important to know that tickets for the Star Cup are extremely difficult to obtain. Although the luxury VIP boxes are expensive, there's no shortage of wealthy people in the entire Star Cup. Almost the moment the tickets were released, they were sold out.
I can't believe how few tickets there are for the deluxe VIP box, and that Teacher Wang Yin was able to snag one! She's really amazing!
"Teeth!"
In a flash, Ya Bao excitedly pressed his face against the glass. Then, remembering something, he took off his sunglasses, which were an eyesore, and threw them aside. He then looked excitedly at the scene.
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter looked around at his surroundings, a look of disappointment on his face, and took off the wig from his head.
"Teacher Wang, I heard from Teacher Michaela that your tickets were all snatched by your mechanical-type pet. Is this the one?" Qiao Sang looked at the humanoid mechanical-type pet dressed in formal attire and couldn't help but ask.
“That’s it,” Wang Yin said with a smile. “It’s called JiGeDe, and it’s a master at grabbing tickets.”
"Machine cover".
Jigsaw called out as a greeting.
"You're really amazing! You managed to snag such hard-to-get tickets!" Qiao Sang praised sincerely.
"Machine cover".
Ji Gede's expression didn't change much. He called out once, indicating that he was just grabbing tickets.
Wang Yin smiled and said, "It's rather aloof."
The aloof mechanical pet, Qiao Sang, couldn't help but glance at Ji Gaide again.
Speaking of which, it's hard to know how mechanical-type pets develop their personalities—is it due to programming or something that forms spontaneously after their life awakens?
In a flash of thought, Wang Yin noticed this scene and asked:
"What, interested in mechanical-type pets?"
Qiao Sang honestly hummed in agreement: "I've always thought mechanical pets are amazing, and the beast tamers who can nurture mechanical pets into powerful ones are also very impressive."
Geed glanced at Jossan.
Wang Yin chuckled and said, "If you're interested in mechanical-type pets, you can learn from me. I'll definitely share everything without reservation."
Before he could finish speaking, Michael looked at the field and suddenly said, "The summoned beast has appeared."
Qiao Sang instantly forgot that they were still talking, went to Ya Bao's side, and looked out the glass.
Two dazzling golden star arrays lit up the arena. Two beasts, each over a hundred meters tall, appeared within their respective star arrays.
The frantic screams and shouts resumed.
These are the pet beasts bred by the players participating in the Star Cup. Seeing them live is completely different from watching them on TV. Qiao Sang looked at the pet beasts that appeared in the golden star array, whose aura was clearly that of a super overlord, and her heart was burning with excitement.
I was having a nice chat with Josang, why did you make a sound? Wang Yin came to Michaela's side and gave her a displeased sidelong glance.
Michaela understood her gaze and calmly responded with his own: Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Josang is my student. "You're being too petty. I wasn't planning on doing anything," Wang Yin said with her eyes.
"Really?" Michaela chuckled.
Just as the two were exchanging intense glances, Qiao Sang exclaimed in shock, "My God!"
The two of them immediately turned to look at the field.
A hundred-meter-tall monkey-type pet, wielding swords formed of flames, swept across another hundred-meter-tall bipedal beast-type pet, cleaving it in two!
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes.
However, the next second, the bipedal beast pet that had been split in two turned into mud and flowed all over the ground. Then, as if it had a life of its own, the mud quickly flowed behind the monkey-type pet and reformed into the body of the bipedal beast pet.
The crowd cheered.
Little Treasure Hunter quietly parted the gap between the two claws and saw that the pet beast, which had been split in two, was completely restored to its original state. Its eyes lit up, and it showed an excited expression, letting out a cry:
"Search!"
"Is this a body formed from mud?" Josang asked.
“That’s right.” Michaela helped explain: “When this property of being able to transform into a certain element reaches S-level, it can control a part of its body to change. This Mud Lord’s speed of turning its whole body into mud is not fast enough. However, it accurately predicted the part of itself that would be attacked, so it only transformed that part, creating the illusion of being split in two from the initial visual effect.”
Qiao Sang was taken aback when his body was partially transformed into elements, and then his eyes lit up.
When the opponent's attack speed is too fast, locally transforming one's body into an element can indeed effectively avoid being attacked. She remembered that Lu Bao could transform into water, and Qing Bao could transform into wind, and both Lu Bao's water-melting ability and Qing Bao's wind-transforming ability were S-rank. If she practiced properly, could she also achieve locally transforming her body into an element, thus reducing the chance of being attacked?
Just then, Wang Yin asked, "I remember that your Ice Saint Ya has the Water Melting property, and Qingfeng Yunren also has the Wind Transformation property. What are the levels of these two properties respectively?"
Qiao Sang didn't hide anything: "They're all S-rank."
Wang Yin smiled and said, "I have extensive experience in teaching the partial elementalization of pets' bodies. If you're willing, I can teach you."
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she was about to agree.
At this moment, Michaela said expressionlessly, "I am her teacher, and I will help teach her."
Josang keenly sensed that something was amiss and immediately refused in a serious tone, saying, "No need to trouble you, Teacher Michaela will teach me everything."
Michaela's expression relaxed upon hearing this.
Wang Yin said with a smile, "It's no trouble at all. My teaching method is different from Michaela's. If Michaela doesn't teach you, or if the teaching speed is too slow, you can come to me if you want to change the teaching method."
How shameless! Michaela suddenly regretted agreeing to bring Josan to watch the StarCraft Cup live.
“Teacher Michaela taught me very well, otherwise I wouldn’t have won the Master Challenge,” Jossan said.
Michaela paused for a moment, looked at Jossan, and felt a surge of emotion.
With your talent, and the ability to temporarily evolve to Emperor level with Steel Power Emperor, what does that have to do with Michaela? Wang Yin scoffed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."
"What are you so sure about? Who are you to Jossan?" Michaela thought to himself, dissatisfied, but said coldly on the surface:
"Of course I will teach my students well."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Where is your student, Zhang Datao?"
Wang Yin said, "He is taking the S-level Beast Tamer assessment and doesn't have time to come over."
The teachers at Diban provide one-on-one instruction, but depending on the teaching method, not all teachers stay with the students all the time. In order to give students better training, some teachers will usually assign a task for the students to complete on their own.
Speaking of Zhang Datao, Wang Yin lost interest in poaching him. She knew it was practically impossible to change his mind. Judging from their conversation, Qiao Sang was clearly satisfied with Michaela and had no intention of changing mentors.
For the rest of the time, the three of them and their pets watched the match intently.
The battle is in full swing.
The battle was so intense that everyone was on the edge of their seats, not daring to blink or even go to the bathroom, for fear of missing a crucial moment.
Finally, the hundred-meter-tall monkey pet could not withstand the immense pressure, which was like a real mountain, and closed its eyes.
The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers and screams.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao let out an excited shout.
The competition was so intense that it felt it was perfectly normal for anyone to win.
"Search!"
"Clear!"
Little Treasure and Qingbao hugged each other excitedly.
"Steel Power."
Gangbao took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions.
Even the usually calm Lu Bao revealed a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Only Tingbao's expression didn't change much after watching. It didn't have a favorite contestant, and it always felt that this competition was far away from it. If it could stand on this competition stage one day, it would be a long time from now.
In short, this competition has absolutely nothing to do with me right now.
"Xia Xia!"
Xia Lala exclaimed excitedly.
Suddenly, Wang Yin spoke up: "What's with the chirping of this fresh cattail?"
Qiao Sang and Xia Lala both stiffened.
Oh no! Michaela's brain raced as she searched for a suitable excuse.
At this moment, Qiao Sang said, "Xianxianpu likes to learn the languages of other pets, and it can also speak Qingbao's language."
"Qingqing."
Xia Lala nodded quickly, indicating that was the case.
Fortunately, Josan was quick-witted. Michaela breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yin looked at Xia Lala, sized her up for two seconds, and then suddenly asked, "Why do you have a Fresh Cattail from the Flame Star with you?"
When a pet on Yantian Star reaches a certain level, it has the right to travel to other planets on a starship. However, starship tickets are expensive, and only high-level pets can travel to other planets. Xianxianpu obviously does not meet the requirements, and judging from its closeness with Qiao Sang, it should have come to Tianyuan Star with him if there are no surprises.
There were just too many problems, and Michaela was trying to find an excuse to brush it off.
Josang said, "Because I want to make a contract with it."
Wang Yin: "???"
"Xia, Qingqing." Xia Lala looked at Qiao Sang with a touched expression. (End of this chapter)
