A hellish arena, a proud red figure standing tall.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts boiled over, they could no longer contain themselves.
The audience exploded.
“Lava Inferno! Fire Qilu actually knows Lava Inferno!”
“A super-tier skill! That’s way too cool!”
“Ahhh! How did I not notice how awesome Fire Qilu looks before?!”
“Ahhhhh! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!” Tang Yi snapped out of his daze, jumped to his feet, and waved both hands excitedly.
Liu Yao was equally shocked and dumbfounded. He stood up only after staying frozen for a long time, his face flushed with excitement, wildly waving his support baton.
“Xian xian!” The Sky Bat could no longer hold back, excitedly swinging the support baton in its claws.
The Sky Bat had basically watched Yabao grow up. After spending so much time together, it already regarded Yabao as a junior.
La… Lava Inferno… it really is Lava Inferno… Pirite stared blankly at the dark red lava still flowing on the field, feeling his mind go buzz, instantly unable to think.
Wasn’t Fire Qilu just a General-level pet?
Since when was it so easy for a General-level pet to learn a super-tier skill?
No, no, maybe Fire Qilu took an awakening stone like Ice Aipalu…
But still, for a General-level pet to awaken a super-tier skill just by taking an awakening stone, that’s way too ridiculous!
One Ice Aipalu wasn’t enough, and now there’s another one?!
Why would a General-level pet know super-tier skills?
Why do both of Qiao Sang’s General-level pets know super-tier skills?
And maybe Yanqilu didn’t even use an awakening stone to learn Lava Inferno…
Pirite's mind was a chaotic mess, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through.
In the end, only two words surfaced in his mind:

“The field has been too heavily damaged, so it looks like we’ll need to switch to a temporary backup arena.” The commentator’s cheerful voice echoed across the field.
“This is the first time in this year’s Beast Tamer Star Tournament that the field had to be changed after just one match.”
As the commentator finished speaking, Qiao Sang waved her hand and returned the still-proudly-standing Yabao to the Beastmaster’s Codex.
At that moment, the magma-filled field began to sink.
Five seconds later, a brand-new arena slowly rose up.
“The new field is ready! Now, what kind of match will Qiao Sang and Apollon bring us?” The commentator said with enthusiasm.
In the audience, discussion once again surged.
“Ice Aipalu! Qiao Sang will definitely send out Ice Aipalu!”
“I think it’ll be Ghost Ring King.”
“Isn’t it obvious? Even without thinking, you know she’ll pick Ice Aipalu next. One Ice Field Domain move and the championship is locked!”
“Apollon will probably use the Youyou Sea Beast.”
Most people were talking about Qiao Sang. Few tried to guess Apollon’s choice. Even his fans stayed quiet, seemingly disheartened.
Apollon had always been popular since he entered the public eye.
Everyone pretty much knew his lineup.
Before the first match, nearly everyone believed Apollon’s ace pet was the Steel Iron Dragon, and Qiao Sang’s ace was Ice Aipalu.
But now, Apollon’s ace had already been defeated in the first match. Qiao Sang’s ace was no longer certain to be Ice Aipalu, but Ice Aipalu’s strength was obvious to all. No matter which of Apollon’s other General-level pets faced it, Ice Aipalu had a good shot at winning.
That thought alone deflated Apollon’s fans.
“3, 2, 1…” A mechanical voice suddenly rang out: “Match start!”
“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”
Almost the moment the countdown ended, Apollon’s fans seemed to be hit with adrenaline and roared with support for their idol.
They might be deflated, but they couldn’t lose face for their idol.
Two orange-yellow summoning stars lit up on the field.
Soon, two pets of vastly different sizes appeared before the audience.
When they saw that Qiao Sang had summoned the Ghost Ring King, Apollon’s fans finally got excited.
“He’s got a shot in this match!”
Although Ghost Ring King had performed well in previous matches, compared to Ice Aipalu, who had Ice Field Domain and Healing Light, Ghost Ring King was still within a manageable range.
“Wait! Ghost Ring King is equipped!?”
“Damn, she even patched up his only weakness, his defense!”
“Not gonna lie, that armored look is way cooler than in the last match.”
“I thought Apollon would use the Youyou Sea Beast, but it’s actually the Bimo Fox…”
“Bimo Fox is strong, don’t forget it used to be Apollon’s ace pet a few years ago.”
As the discussion continued, the Bimo Fox’s figure blurred.
Suddenly, dozens of identical Bimo Foxes filled most of the arena.
Bimo Fox, a Fire-type General-level pet, rumored to know Poison-type skills as well. It liked to play with coins. The coin it held was a specially crafted item Apollon bought at a high price when Bimo Fox was in its mid-tier form.
It’s said to be infused with strong Fire-type energy. Bimo Fox liked to launch these coins as explosive projectiles in attacks. The coins don’t disappear after exploding, but they do need to be replaced regularly after a while…
Qiao Sang looked at the dozens of six-meter-tall fox-like creatures on the field, all with red fur on their faces, paws, necks, and chests, yellow fur on their foreheads, ears, and tails, walking on two limbs, each holding a coin. Information she had researched floated into her mind.
With a flick of their right claws, dozens of coins instantly turned into blazing projectiles and shot toward Little Treasure.
Little Treasure, wearing armor and full of confidence, grinned and was just about to charge into the firelight to test his armor’s strength-
When his Beast master’s voice came: “Don’t mess around.”
Little Treasure pouted, then vanished from his spot and reappeared a hundred meters high in the air.
Just as he appeared in the sky, a coin engulfed in flames shot toward him.
Fire Coin, a Fire-type pet-exclusive item. It allowed fire-type skills to be executed alongside the coin, boosting both speed and explosive power…
As Qiao Sang watched the Fire Coin rush toward Little Treasure, her mind whirred, analyzing it instinctively.
Compared to the earlier coin attacks, this one was clearly faster.
This one... was the real one.
