Chapter 2347: Chapter 350: Xia Huo vs. Jules (Double-Length)

"In this match, the one who is spared is Candidate Qiao Sang!" Nephthys announced loudly on the field.

The crowd erupted in noise.

Qiao Sang stared blankly at the enlarged photo on the giant virtual screen.

Wasn’t it said that only those most likely to become champions would be spared?

Even though a person can’t be spared twice in a row, besides Lafeid, isn’t there still Serana and Xia Huo, who can always have five Pet Beasts?

Even without them, she remembers there were still several popular contestants.

How did it come to be her?

After the shock and confusion, Qiao Sang inevitably felt a bit disappointed, with a deep regret flashing across her face...

This is the entire interstellar competition, with over a hundred thousand spectators on-site. Who knows when she’ll participate in a competition of this scale again? She originally wanted Little Treasure Spirit to absorb more White Energy taking advantage of this opportunity, but now that can’t happen; the loss is simply colossal...

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit fell to the ground, with its paws touching the floor and head drooping, looking deeply affected.

Now that her Beast Tamer is spared, and there’s no match, then what does all the brutal training it underwent with Brother Yaobao account for...

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao howled to the sky, unwilling to accept reality.

No!

Qiao Sang heard the call, pulled herself together, and lowered her voice to remind: "It’s still live broadcasting."

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit immediately floated up, managing its expression well and smiled broadly at the camera.

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao felt a mix of grief and anger, unable to manage its expression perfectly, struggling hard not to let out another sound.

Mikaela looked at the enlarged photo on the field, her expression tense, then sighed, "I didn’t expect it really was you."

She spoke, then laughed, "Being spared in a match seems like luck, but it actually involves the professionalism and fairness of the entire tournament structure, with strict logic behind the rules. You being spared by Lichemon means you’re a high-ranking competitor in its comprehensive assessment."

After a pause, Mikaela became serious again, "But don’t be too happy about being spared. Those who are spared will be under close scrutiny, and the pressure will increase significantly. If you lose the match afterward, certain voices from the outside will also grow, which isn’t necessarily a good thing for newcomers like you who are just showing promise."

Do I look happy... Qiao Sang inwardly retorted, then stopped blocking out the surrounding noise, sighed:

"There’s already a lot of such voices."

The surrounding noise was chaotic.

Voices from the audience seats all reached her ears:

"How could it be Qiao Sang?"

"Ah! I said Qiao Sang has the potential to be a champion!"

"Oh my gosh, a contestant I never thought of."

"Isn’t this some kind of manipulation? Afraid the youngest A-level Beast Tamer in history will be eliminated too quickly?"

"Use your brain while speaking, this is a master championship, how could there be such tricks, and the strength Qiao Sang showed in the first two rounds is undeniable, I think she’s not without a chance to win the championship."

"Ahhhh! I finally got a ticket to the live event, wanted to see Qiao Sang compete, but she actually is spared!"

"I refuse to believe it, if anyone’s to be spared, it should be Serana."

"Although I admit Qiao Sang is very strong, it’s not to the point of being spared."

"Overall rating might be high, luck also plays a part, objects spared by Lichemon in the past don’t necessarily become champions."

"What luck, straight into the fourth round."

"Don’t be sour; even if Qiao Sang wasn’t spared in this match, she could advance to the next round."

"Who can say for sure? What if she encounters Lafeid?"

The entire venue was nearly all discussing the spared topic, with evident more controversy than Lafeid’s sparing last round, yet many voices seemed pleasantly surprised and optimistic about Qiao Sang, an unprecedented experience for a contestant entering an interstellar competition for the first time.

In the past, if the spared contestants were newcomers who hadn’t participated in related competitions, they were definitely doomed to be ridiculed, even possibly suffering online abuse.

If they lost directly after being spared, it would be disastrous; many contestants, influenced by external voices, would probably fall into a state of despair.

Mikaela listened to the audience’s voices for a while, raised her eyebrows, then blocked them, and laughed:

"Many people still have faith in you."

She paused again, then stood up: "Since there’s no match today, let’s leave and train."
