Chapter 2448: Chapter 387: Water Navigation Node (Happy Winter Solstice~)

The entire arena erupted in deafening screams and cheers:

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"

"Fendiduo! Fendiduo!"

Yaobao reveled in the cheers, lifting its head higher, standing more upright, seemingly unaffected by the dark aura surrounding it.

Seeing Yaobao, still eager to fight, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: Don’t come again, you’re injured, and your state is halved.

But then a second thought emerged: Come to think of it, Yaobao’s state is halved, which means the Moonlight Power trait is inactive, but it doesn’t seem to affect its own state...

Thinking this, Qiao Sang looked again at Yaobao, recalling its diligent training and its excitement upon knowing about the competition, eventually lowering the hand she had just raised.

It has just returned to its usual state; even without the trait to make it active, letting Yaobao battle opponents of the same level should be fine, as it hasn’t unleashed its fierce fire yet...

As Qiao Sang thought, her gaze fell on the black aura entwined around Yaobao.

If she remembered correctly, once the Risk Dice’s points were cast, even if the Gambling Black Dragon falls, the malign influence remains until the evil-type energy dissipates.

The Risk Dice’s influence on the target depends on the energy gap between the target and the Gambling Black Dragon. Based on recent battle data of the Gambling Black Dragon, for Emperor Level Pet Beast, the Risk Dice’s 6-point effect lasts about ten minutes...

As these thoughts flickered, Gaston on the other side remained silent for a while, then waved his hand to recall the Gambling Black Dragon into the Beast Taming Codex.

The two students from the Flame Class were blanked by Qiao Sang, so losing two rounds himself was normal...

Yes, it’s normal.

Given Fendiduo’s combat capabilities, the Gambling Black Dragon losing was actually expected. It’s just unfortunate that its fierce fire wasn’t unleashed... However, Fendiduo’s fierce fire isn’t guaranteed to succeed every time. Its state is currently influenced by the Risk Dice, and it was injured in the recent battle. If Fendiduo continues to fight, Gaston should have a good chance of winning...

Gaston looked towards the slender figure on the distant stage.

He hoped Qiao Sang wouldn’t recall Fendiduo...

The arena full of lava and golden flames sank, and the intact venue slowly rose.

Yaobao was still at high altitude.

"Candidate Qiao Sang hasn’t recalled Fendiduo into the Beast Taming Codex!" Auroal announced from the commentary box: "Looks like Fendiduo is going for another round."

"Fire Sky."

Fire Sky Qilin called out, indicating that Candidate Qiao Sang seemed very confident in Fendiduo’s abilities, even though it’s influenced by the Risk Dice, allowing it to continue battling.

Nephthys smiled:

"Actually, it’s not just Candidate Qiao Sang. I believe the audience here and those watching on TV, anyone who’s seen Fendiduo’s previous consecutive battles against three Emperor Level Pet Beasts would be filled with confidence about Fendiduo."

"Fire Sky."

Fire Sky Qilin called out.

Looks like it needs to revisit Fendiduo’s previous matches.

...

Meanwhile.

Chao Su Star.

Yuliandun University.

In a spacious, luxurious office, Gilbert watched the computer screen with a grim expression.

A blond man who had just entered the office hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Fendiduo is the highest combat-capable pet beast among Qiao Sang’s, and Gaston has already tried his best."

Gilbert looked at him: "Did you watch the match too?"

The blond man shook his head: "No, but Gaston’s match with Qiao Sang is receiving a lot of attention. Everyone is discussing it in the group, so I learned about it."

Gilbert glanced at the group on his phone but saw no messages.

He fell silent for two seconds and said, "Let me see your phone."

"That’s not appropriate, Dean..." The blond man’s expression changed slightly.

Gilbert glanced at him indifferently.

The blond man immediately handed over the phone respectfully with both hands.

Gilbert took the phone, opened the top chat group in the messaging app, and stared intently, finding content mostly criticizing him as too conservative, missing out on talents, lacking vision; saying that without him, Qiao Sang would be a student of Yuliandun University.

At this moment, such content was continually refreshing.

Gilbert scrolled through the screen, reading the content, his face growing increasingly grim, until he finally slammed the phone face down onto the desk.

"Out!"

"Dean..."

"I said out!"

The blond man grabbed his phone and quickly left the office.

At the doorway, he swiftly checked the chat interface on his phone, saw that the Dean hadn’t found his message, and let out a sigh of relief.

Inside the office, Gilbert took a deep breath, looked at the computer screen, his hands crossed, an appearance of regained calm, but the veins in his hands bulged.

Gaston, if you don’t win this round...

...

Flame Sky Star.

Saye International Competition Hall.

A pet beast wearing a referee certificate blew the whistle signaling readiness.

The light and shadow of "10" appeared on the field, continually changing with the mechanical voice.

"9, 8, 7..."

Yaobao excitably watched the distant human, waiting for him to summon the next opponent.

Soon, the light and shadow reached "1" and then vanished.

Gaston quickly formed seal gestures with both hands.

A profound purple star array lit up on the field before him.

Before long, a pet beast about thirty meters in length, primarily dark blue in color, standing on four legs, clad in white shell armor, with bracelet-like structures on its limbs appeared within the star array.

"Candidate Gaston has summoned the Water Navigation Node!" Auroal announced from the commentary box.

"Water Navigation Node is a water-type Emperor Level Pet Beast. From the attribute perspective, it indeed restrains Fendiduo." Nephthys said.

"Fire Sky."

Fire Sky Qilin observed as it called out, indicating the match was about to begin. Fendiduo indeed seemed more excited than before; it seemed to really enjoy battling.

Water Navigation Node, a water-type Emperor Level Pet Beast, cold and strong in attack, enjoys continuous attacking, possesses the Water Regeneration trait, allowing it to rapidly recover energy as long as it stays in water... Qiao Sang gazed at the distant pet beast within the star array, recalling data associated with it.

As the thoughts flickered, Yaobao teleported and disappeared, initiating the attack, appearing in the air above and behind Water Navigation Node, opening its mouth, a beam of golden red light instantly shooting down diagonally.

Water Navigation Node keenly sensed the danger without turning back.

A deep blue barrier shielded around it.

"Boom!"

The golden red beam fiercely struck the deep blue barrier, engulfing everything around with flames.

The deep blue barrier cracked, but it quickly coalesced.

Water Navigation Node remained unmoved inside.

The barrier withstood the Bursting Flame Bomb’s attack.
