Tang Yi noticed Yuna's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Updates are released by n0velfire.net
Yuna was silent for a moment before replying,
"Qiao Sang's next opponent is Rosie Frida."
"Who's that?" Tang Yi asked.
"She ranked 13th in last year's D-rank Beast Tamer Tournament." Yuna said gravely.
Tang Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "Is she strong?"
"Very strong." Yuna glanced at him and sighed,
"Rosie Frida is 34 years old. She became a D-rank Beast Tamer at 20, and her ace beast evolved to General-rank when she was 27. However, since her brain capacity hasn't advanced, she couldn't become a C-rank Beast Tamer."
"Currently, she has one General-rank beast and two Advanced-rank beasts."
Hearing this, Tang Yi felt a jolt of anxiety. His first thought was that this match could be tough.
But on second thought, it wasn't entirely hopeless.
In his opinion, any of Qiao Sang's Advanced-rank beasts had the power to instantly defeat beasts of the same level.
During the National Campus Beast Mastering League, the opponents only managed to hold their ground because they had thoroughly researched each other beforehand.
Otherwise, who would expect a high school student's beasts to have so many ultimate skills?
And as for the General-rank beast, it was just one. Didn't his Paralulu evolve into Paraleo and still get beaten?
Besides, not all General-rank beasts are equal.
Paraleo's attack power was among the best in the Central Hollow region's General-rank beasts. Even if it had just evolved, not just any General-rank beast could match it.
The only concern was that this opponent's General-rank beast had been at that level for seven years...
Wait, there's something else... Tang Yi's face turned serious.
Qiao Sang's best chance at defeating a General-rank beast lay with her Blazing Star Canine. But that beast had fought so many consecutive matches that its energy and stamina were greatly depleted, while the opponent's General-rank beast was still at full strength...
Yuna continued, "I first heard about Rosie Frida because she was in the news for extinguishing a fire in an apartment building and saving 136 people."
After saying this, she paused, giving Tang Yi a moment to process.
Tang Yi's face changed as he realized, "Rosie Frida's General-rank beast is Water-type?"
Yuna's mouth twitched, "No."
Then why bring it up? Are you just trying to say she's a good person...? Tang Yi's eyes conveyed his thoughts.
Yuna helplessly explained, "Rosie Frida doesn't have any Water-type beasts."
"Then how did she put out the fire?" Tang Yi was confused.
"She may not have a Water-type beast, but she does have one that perfectly counters Fire-types." Yuna looked through the glass at the woman gracefully stepping onto the stage, emphasizing each word,
"Against her, Blazing Star Canine's Fire-type skills are useless."
Meanwhile, the crowd erupted into wild cheers.
This was the power of a popular contestant.
"Oh my god! Why is Frida here today?"
"Ahh! What do I do? I didn't check the match info and just bet on Qiao Sang to win 3-0!"
"Heh, I saw the match info and didn't bet on Qiao Sang this time."
"The Pet Battle Tournament is so dirty. Every time a new contestant is about to become the King of the Ring, they always send out a super-strong opponent at the last minute."
"I actually think Qiao Sang is really good... too bad she's up against Frida."
Frida... Qiao Sang listened to the crowd while watching the elegantly dressed woman with brown hair in the distance. Her expression became serious.
This person was clearly very popular, and in the world of Chaosu Star Beast Battles, popularity equated to strength.
If she was this popular, she must be powerful...
Looks like Yuna was right, signing that contract for a 20% bonus was a trap. There was no way the tournament organizers would let her take the prize money that easily...
If there were contestants with Advanced-rank beasts in the E-rank tournament, then it's no surprise that the D-rank tournament would have people with General-rank beasts...
This opponent probably has a General-rank beast...
Just then, the commentator's excited voice echoed,
"Frida! Qiao Sang's obstacle to becoming King of the Arena is Frida! This match is going to be interesting! Looks like we'll finally see Qiao Sang's other two beasts!"
What's that supposed to mean? Do they think Yabao is definitely going to lose? Qiao Sang frowned slightly.
"Miss Wang Xuezhi, I remember you faced Frida last year. You should be familiar with her strength. What's your score prediction for this match?" The commentator asked.
This time, Wang Xuezhi was cooperative:
"I'm not sure about Qiao Sang's other two beasts, but I favor Frida in this match. Her strength is undeniable, and her Sky Void Bird specifically counters Fire-type beasts."
"Even though Qiao Sang's beast also has Psychic attributes and powerful moves like Hyper Beam, it's clear from the previous matches that its main offensive moves are Fire-type. And against Frida, no Fire-type stands a chance."
"I'd guess 1-3. Qiao Sang is strong, and since her other two beasts haven't appeared yet, she might take one round."
The commentator added, "I predict 0-3. Despite Qiao Sang's impressive strength, her age is a factor. I think her strongest beast is the one currently in the ring. If it goes down, Frida will have no trouble winning the remaining rounds."
As soon as he finished, Frida on the stage formed a hand seal and began summoning her beast.
A green star array lit up.
Soon, a bird-like beast about 2 meters tall, mainly white and blue with green striped skin along its head and neck, and clawed wings appeared on the stage.
Yabao lowered his stance, ready to attack at any moment.
Even though the opponent was smaller, he felt an immense sense of danger.
Qiao Sang looked at the distant beast, her heart sinking.
Different ranks of beasts exude different levels of presence. Except for her newly contracted Gangbao, all of Qiao Sang's beasts were Advanced-rank, so she knew exactly what an Advanced-rank aura felt like.
The presence from this beast was much stronger...
If she was right, this was a General-rank beast...
The tournament organizers were playing dirty, actually sending a contestant with a General-rank beast just to stop her from becoming King of the Arena. Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Two seconds later, a mechanical voice announced,
"Match countdown: 3, 2, 1!"
