The competitors in the main competition had all been selected from their school teams after over two years of professional training. The duration of each match was noticeably longer than during the preliminary rounds, with most matches lasting several minutes.

At first, Little Treasure remained hidden, but he soon got caught up in the excitement of the crowd, revealing himself to cheer enthusiastically for his favorite contestant.

Since he was blocking the view of the audience seated behind her, Qiao Sang had no choice but to hold Little Treasure in her arms.

“Have you gained weight again?” Qiao Sang asked, patting Little Treasure’s belly.

“Xun Xun!”

Upon hearing this, Little Treasure puffed out his already round belly with pride, as if to say this was a sign of his growing strength.

Qiao Sang’s lips twitched.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure pointed to the field, where a large bear-like beast was using his belly fat to bounce back an attack from a Flash Mouse. His gaze burned with admiration, clearly aspiring to one day grow as strong as that bear.

This mindset is seriously concerning, thought Qiao Sang.

On the field, the bear-like beast, boasting a thick layer of fat and a tough hide, stood firm, ignoring its opponent’s relentless attacks.

“I think that Violent Bear might be one of the toughest in our group.” Xu Yixuan commented as she noticed Qiao Sang staring at it.

“Don’t be fooled by how it’s just standing there taking hits, it has the Rage Fist skill.”

As if on cue, the Violent Bear let out a roar, pulling back its right arm and clenching its fist. Its chest puffed out like a drawn bow, energy swirling intensely around its fist.

In a flash, it punched downward at the Flash Mouse, which had been enveloped in electric sparks and charging straight at it.

The Flash Mouse flew across the field and collapsed, unconscious.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure flinched, clearly startled by the sudden outburst of violence.

Qiao Sang instinctively began analyzing the situation in her mind.

Rage Fist, a skill that converts accumulated anger into power, making the attack stronger with each hit received.

The easiest way to win against it would be to break its defenses with a single decisive strike, preventing it from ever using the skill. Among her own team, the only one with the firepower to potentially one-hit the Violent Bear was Yabao.

Watching as the Flash Mouse was carried off on a stretcher, Xu Yixuan sighed.

“That Violent Bear is faster than the last time I saw it. Honestly, I think the only ones who could beat Liu Zeru are the three of us.”

Liu Zeru, the Violent Bear’s beastmaster, was known for his strength.

“Let’s not jump to conclusions.” He Dadao said cautiously.

Ever since losing two matches to Pinghai High during the preliminaries, He Dadao had become noticeably more reserved.

Xu Yixuan glanced at him but said nothing. As a fellow senior in her final year of high school, she understood his mindset. This was their last chance to participate in the National Campus Beast Mastering League.

“Senior He is right.” Qiao Sang agreed.

“I think there are probably others who can beat him too.”

Xu Yixuan: …

He Dadao: …

That’s not what I meant!

The competition progressed smoothly.

Half an hour later, a boy with bangs covering his eyes stepped onto the field. The announcer’s voice rose with excitement:

“Let’s welcome Wu Chang from Huicheng Beastmaster High School and Huang Xiaoting from Hanggang No. 9 Beastmaster High School!”

The crowd erupted, cheering overwhelmingly for one name.

“Wu Chang! Wu Chang!”

“Wu Chang, you can do it!”

“Wu Chang, you’re the best!”

“Wu Chang, you’re the strongest!”

Xu Yixuan glanced around and sighed enviously.

“Competing at your own school really is different. Why didn’t I get this kind of luck? In two years, I’ve never been assigned to compete at my school.”

“Unbelievable.” Qiao Sang muttered, staring at the boy in shock.

“His luck is absolutely unreal.”

It was the first time Xu Yixuan had seen Qiao Sang this surprised.

“Come on, being assigned to your own school isn’t that rare. Your reaction is a bit much.”

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Sang said seriously, “Remember the Child of Fortune I told you about?”

Xu Yixuan froze.

“The one who picks up money every few steps, finds cash flying to him, and does it four or five times in half a minute?”

“That’s him.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Xu Yixuan: !!!

Her shock lingered for a long moment before she exclaimed, “That kind of absurd person actually exists?!”

“I didn’t want to believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday.” Qiao Sang replied.

“Could his pet beast have a skill that brings good luck?” Xu Yixuan speculated.

“Not sure.” Qiao Sang said after a moment of thought. “But it’s a possibility.”

The boy summoned a familiar pet beast, a Desert Tail Fox.

Qiao Sang froze.

A Desert Tail Fox? So his luck isn’t from a pet beast after all. It’s just… him?!

By the end of Wu Chang’s match, the announcer called Qiao Sang’s name.

“And now, let’s welcome Qiao Sang from Shengshui High School and Lei Lei from Chongzhou Beastmaster High School!”

The crowd erupted again, this time with murmurs of curiosity.

“Shengshui High? I’ve never seen anyone from Shengshui High before!”

“I heard she’s only a first-year!”

“Flame Hound! I hope she uses her Flame Hound!”

On the field, Lei Lei turned to Qiao Sang and said, “I hope you’ll use your Flame Hound.”

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang nodded.

“Sure.”

Lei Lei was stunned.

Are geniuses always this easy to talk to?

As the referee signaled the start of the match, Qiao Sang summoned her beast, and a green star array appeared.

From it, Little Treasure emerged with a playful cry.
