Chapter 1071: Supervision

Dragon Breath, a Mid-level Dragon-type skill. Blasts a powerful breath at the opponent to attack, dealing damage with a chance to inflict paralysis... Watching the skill executed by the Algae Dragon, Qiao Sang refrained from issuing a command.

Tingbao didn't possess many skills, so in a situation like this, he could only rely on dodging.

Having entered countless battles, she had developed a habit of omitting generic commands like Dodge when facing attacks that were clearly visible and not particularly fast, relying purely on the pet's own reaction capabilities.

Having practiced his movement speed and reaction capabilities over the past two days, Tingbao wriggled his body, moving rapidly to the side to evade the attack.

Bang! The silver-white beam struck the ground, blasting a small crater into the earth.

"Discharge beneath it." Qiao Sang commanded.

Without a second thought, yellow electrical arcs surfaced across Tingbao's body, converging into a bolt that struck toward the position directly below the Algae Dragon.

At this moment, the Algae Dragon's lingering time in midair from its jump had expired, and it was falling downward.

The exact spot it was about to land on happened to be where the lightning bolt was about to strike.

Realizing what was happening, Di Shoucheng felt his heart tighten and hurriedly shouted:

"Blast a water pillar downward!"

The force of a water pillar hitting the ground could indeed keep the Algae Dragon from landing and allow it to change its landing spot. What a pity, though, the command was too long, and at this distance, even if the move were successfully released, the lightning power would still conduct directly onto the Algae Dragon's body... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Sure enough, the Algae Dragon opened its mouth downward, blue water current condensing within its throat.

However, before it could blast the stream out, the rapidly approaching yellow lightning bolt struck it square on.

"Zao zao!"

The Algae Dragon let out a painful shriek, its charred, blackened body tumbling to the ground.

The camera gave a close-up.

The Algae Dragon was already unconscious.

Up in the spectator stands, clamor erupted all at once: "It lost just like that? Why do I feel like the Algae Dragon was being suppressed the entire time?"

"The gap between the two Beast Tamers is way too huge. This Qiao Sang's command capability is clearly far superior to Di Shoucheng's."

"Exactly. If it were an ordinary Beast Tamer, they definitely wouldn't know what to do against the mist the Algae Dragon released at the start. If it were me, I'd at most have Tingbao constantly release lightning to attack all around to keep the Algae Dragon from drawing near, finding its exact location would be out of the question."

"Seriously, she's so calm! Even though the Algae Dragon looked stronger, I got the feeling she was completely stomping a newbie."

"Now I actually believe this contestant named Qiao Sang is a D-rank Beast Tamer."

"She already told everyone herself that she isn't."

In the guest panel area.

Fyodor marveled: "This was a match clearly won through the seamless synergy between Beast Tamer and pet."

"Tie tie."

Tie Daoyi nodded and let out a call.

Fu Jian commented earnestly: "It's obvious that Contestant Qiao Sang possesses rich battle experience, and every single command she issued was extremely precise. Little  Thunder Dragon also clearly places immense trust in Contestant Qiao Sang. Their seamless synergy is precisely what we want to see. I believe that once they form a contract, they will make an exceptional pair."

As they spoke, the camera offered a close-up of Tingbao and Qiao Sang before shifting to another battle section.

"Lei lei."

On the way back, Tingbao was noticeably much closer to Qiao Sang. Instead of leaning against Lubao after hanging around her neck for a bit as he used to, he remained wrapped around her neck the entire time, letting out a few calls every now and then.

Qiao Sang couldn't understand what Tingbao was saying, relying entirely on Gangbao to translate in her mind in real-time.

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao called out in an inquiring tone.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind: He's asking when you'll finally be able to contract him.

"When my brain capacity breaks through to 60% and awakens a new contract page." Qiao Sang stated.

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao called out once more.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao translated: He's asking when you'll be able to awaken a new contract page.

"That's not certain." Qiao Sang answered. 

"Brain capacity isn't something that can break through overnight."

"Lei lei?"

Putting on a thoughtful expression, Tingbao let out a call.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao's voice echoed in her mind: He's asking how you can make your brain capacity break through.

Qiao Sang answered patiently: "By relying on meditation."

"Lei lei?"

Tingbao displayed a dissatisfied expression.

Then why does he never see you meditating during normal times?

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao translated.

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment: "I do! I meditate when I get up in the morning and before going to sleep."

"Lei lei."

Tingbao remained dissatisfied.

That amount of time is way too little! At this rate, when will she ever be able to contract him?

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao translated.

Qiao Sang: ...

"Then I'll work hard to spend more time meditating from now on." Qiao Sang promised.

"Lei lei."

Satisfied, Tingbao wrapped himself slightly tighter around Qiao Sang's neck to show his affection.

Qiao Sang: ...

Watching this scene from the side, Mikayla recalled her own past, various bittersweet feelings surging up in her heart.

"Xun xun~"

At this moment, Little Treasure floated over to his Beast Tamer's side, putting on a flattering expression as he let out a call, indicating that he was taking the fifth child to compete tomorrow and felt they might need some money on the road.

"Qing qing~"

Qingbao revealed herself beside Little Treasure, her eyes blinking cutely.

Qiao Sang pulled out her wallet, retrieved a stack of cash from within, and handed it over to Little Treasure, saying grandly: "Spend as you like."

Little Treasure displayed a delighted expression. Just as he was about to accept it, he suddenly recalled something and let out a call: "Xun xun?"

Can't you give a card?

He remembered that his Beast Tamer used to buy tons of stuff using cards before

"Some places here only accept cash." Qiao Sang stated.

If she handed Little Treasure a card, he might directly go buy a mobile phone, which definitely wouldn't do.

"Xun xun~"

Suspecting nothing, Little Treasure accepted the cash, grinning as he let out a call. Taking off his ring, he found a spot to put it inside.

Qingbao cast a glance at Little Treasure, looking as though she resented him for not living up to expectations.

Silly! He could have totally taken both the cash and the card by claiming he was worried it wouldn't be enough to spend.

She really wanted to speak up herself, but promptly recalling her well-behaved image in front of her Beast Tamer, she kept quiet.

In the evening, 6:30 PM.

The villa.

After finishing dinner, Qiao Sang came out to the open-air training field, wanting to watch Yabao and the others train.

Heading out to the field together, Tingbao, who had just been preparing to train, crawled over, raised his head, and let out a call: "Lei lei?"

"Gangbao, hurry and translate." Qiao Sang looked down at Tingbao, speaking in her mind.

"Gang qiu."

The next second, Gangbao's voice resounded in her mind: He's asking why you aren't going to meditate.

Qiao Sang: ...

"I'll go in a little bit." Qiao Sang said.

"Lei lei."

Displaying a dissatisfied expression, Tingbao let out a call, signaling that with her spending so little time meditating, when would she ever be able to contract him?

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao provided the translation in a tone tinged with laughter.

Why is it that even as a B-rank Beast Tamer, I still get supervised to meditate... Qiao Sang grumbled internally, saying: "I can just meditate right here."

Saying that, she walked over to the rest bench nearby, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began meditating.

Seeing this, Tingbao put on a satisfied expression, wriggling his body away to find Qingbao to train.

Opening one eye, Qiao Sang watched Tingbao's departing figure, letting out an inexplicable sigh of relief.
