Free Web NovelChapter 2223: Chapter 296: Tang Country
Qiao Sang was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "The Master Challenge Tournament is starting so soon?"
"This competition has never had a fixed date." Mikaela replied calmly, "They’ve been promoting it for a long time, so it’s normal for it to start a little earlier."
Qiao Sang didn’t say anything but watched the giant Flying-type Pet Beast gradually grow distant outside the window.
"What are you thinking about?" Mikaela asked.
Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and after a moment of silence, asked:
"Teacher, do you think I have a chance if I register for this year’s Master Challenge Tournament now?"
She hadn’t forgotten that the champion of the Master Challenge Tournament could receive a Sun Crystal.
Mikaela’s first thought was: Chance? What kind of chance?
Followed by the second thought: Almost forgot that the champion’s reward for the Master Challenge Tournament happens to be a Sun Crystal...
She fell silent.
To be honest, given Qiao Sang’s current condition, she could definitely register for the Master Challenge Tournament, but the possibility of her winning the championship is still quite slim. She has just become an official A-Level Professional Beast Tamer, whereas the Beast Tamers registering for the Master Challenge Tournament are all geniuses among geniuses.
Of course, their talent is nothing compared to Qiao Sang, but the fact is that they’re older and have basically been A-Level Professional Beast Tamers for a long time.
Then Mikaela thought of the examiner from today’s assessment and Qiao Sang’s performance during it.
Others who have just become A-Level Professional Beast Tamers definitely have no hope of winning in such a large-scale competition, but Qiao Sang might actually have a chance...
After all, her exceptional talent far exceeds my imagination, and even though my endurance is already quite strong, I still get amazed occasionally.
With one month left until the competition, as long as the beginning doesn’t go like my unlucky start, directly encountering a strong championship contender—given her talent, it’s not impossible for her to quickly advance in the competition... Various thoughts flashed through Mikaela’s mind, finally consolidating into her statement:
"You can register and give it a try."
She didn’t answer the question directly.
If she can win the championship and get the Sun Crystal, that would be great. If she can’t, she could still build good relationships with strong contenders for the championship. By then, whoever gets the Sun Crystal, she could contact them first, perhaps they’d be willing to trade... The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
She was originally planning to join the Master Challenge Tournament if she couldn’t find a Sun Crystal, but didn’t expect this day to come so soon...
"Are there any conditions for signing up for the Master Challenge Tournament?" Qiao Sang took a sip of her drink and asked: "I just saw on the advertising that the Master Challenge Tournament covers countries and regions worldwide, I’m from Blue Star, can I participate?"
"Why wouldn’t you be able to participate?" Mikaela placed a piece of beef in her mouth and said: "It’s said to cover the globe, but it’s just the venue located on Flame Sky Star. In fact, it doesn’t matter which planet the Beast Tamer is from, as long as they are currently on Flame Sky Star and meet the conditions, they can register."
"Many A-Level Beast Tamers specifically travel from other planets for the Master Challenge Tournament."
"There are quite a few classmates from our Emperor Class who have participated in this competition."
"Speaking of which, the Master Challenge Tournament is even broadcasted live throughout the entire interstellar network."
Interstellar live broadcast... Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, her eyes lighting up.
Wouldn’t that mean that mom could also see me compete then?
Beside her, Gangbao seemed to think of the same thing, its eyes also lighting up.
Mikaela continued, "Your conditions definitely meet the participation standards. I remember the strictest condition for the Master Challenge Tournament is age restriction. Only A-Level Professional Beast Tamers under 70 can participate."
A-Level Beast Tamers under 70... Is that condition strict... Many Beast Tamers probably can participate... the odds of winning seem to feel even lower now... Qiao Sang mused inwardly, while outwardly she smiled and said, "If it’s an interstellar live broadcast, then I definitely want mom to see it."
After saying this, she picked up her phone and sent a message to her mom:
[Mom, quickly download the interstellar channel!]
In general, interstellar competitions can only be viewed on the interstellar channel, except for the Interstellar Cup, at which time almost all event channels would broadcast it live.
There was no reply from the other side of the phone.
At this time, it was deep night on Blue Star, mom should still be sleeping... Qiao Sang glanced at the time, put down the phone, and said:
"It seems the schedule ahead needs to be adjusted."
After speaking, she looked at Shalala and said: "Sorry, but I might have to spend some time participating in the competition and can’t go on our trip."
"Qingqing..."
While eating, Shalala called out, indicating it’s no problem, it quite enjoys watching the competition live on site too.
Shalala really has a good temperament. In the future, if she contracts another pet beast, apart from looking at species limits, she would need to find one with a temperament as good as Shalala’s... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Truth be told, she used to think that among all her Pet Beasts, Qingbao had the best temperament, but later discovered that wasn’t the case, especially after she understood the meaning of the surrounding winds.
Thinking carefully, perhaps the only ones with good temperaments among Yaobao’s companions are Little Treasure Spirit and Lubao...
No, Lubao’s temperament can’t really be considered good, it’s just that most things now don’t stir much emotion in it...
"Steel Authority?"
Deep in thought, Gangbao’s voice echoed in her mind.
What about me?
"How dare you ask, if I dare say you’re stiff, you would glare at me." Qiao Sang replied in her mind.
Having let her thoughts run wild for so long, she no longer feared Gangbao knowing her inner thoughts.
Gangbao: "..."
During their conversation, Mikaela asked, "Are you planning to train for this entire month?"
Qiao Sang affirmed, "Of course, there’s only a month left, I have to train."
Mikaela took a bite of dessert and said, "Alright, I’ll book a more private villa in Tang Country for you to train in comfort."
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "Tang Country?"
"This year’s Master Challenge Tournament is being held in Tang Country," Mikaela slowly said, "If we head there immediately, we might be able to find a good place to stay. If we delay any longer, as more people arrive, we won’t find a satisfactory home, so, after eating, head back to your room, prepare, and we’ll go to Tang Country tomorrow."
Tang Country, where 50% of the area is desert or semi-desert, has a scarcity of Water-type, Ice-type and Grass-type Pet Beasts, while Ground-type and Rock-type Pet Beasts are plentiful. Many Beast Tamers come here specifically to contract these two types of Pet Beasts.
The competition is estimated to last a few months; I wonder how Shalala will adapt there... Qiao Sang first replied "Okay," then turned to Shalala and asked:
"Do you know Tang Country?"
"Qingqing."
Shalala nodded.
"Then you..." Qiao Sang hesitated.
"Qingqing."
Shalala, sensing what Qiao Sang was going to say, quickly interrupted and called out.
I don’t mind going to Tang Country; wherever you go, I will go.
