Chapter 2499: Chapter 408: Round Robin Match 2 (2 in 1)

Mikaela asked in astonishment, "You’re not planning to sleep at all tonight?"

"I’m not sleeping," Qiao Sang said seriously. "I don’t want to have thoughts like ’If only I had studied a little more’ during tomorrow’s match."

Mikaela was momentarily taken aback, feeling as if she were seeing herself back when she prepared for tournaments.

"Ms. Mikaela, you should go to bed early," Qiao Sang said before turning around and heading back to her room with her drink.

Little Treasure Spirit turned invisible and disappeared.

Mikaela quietly watched Qiao Sang’s receding figure.

At this moment, Jiu Bugu appeared and cried out, "Jiu Jiu?"

"Why did you say you were writing a paper?" It remembered that its beast tamer had clearly been in her room watching some of Lafeid’s match footage.

"What do you know? I just didn’t want Qiao Sang to feel too much pressure. Besides, if you ask now, she’ll definitely hear. Could I tell you?" Mikaela thought, glancing at it. She said nothing out loud as she turned off the lights and headed upstairs.

Jiu Bugu turned invisible and disappeared. Having been contracted for so long, it naturally understood the meaning in its beast tamer’s eyes.

Back in her room, Qiao Sang sat down at the desk, put on her headphones, and resumed playing Serana’s match videos.

"Xun Xun..." Little Treasure Spirit didn’t choose to play on its phone like usual. Instead, it came to its beast tamer’s side to watch intently alongside her.

At 1:30 PM, the sun was scorching. The ground of the entire arena radiated a blistering heat that distorted the air, but this did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the live audience.

Everyone sat in their seats, heatedly discussing the upcoming match.

"The battle between Serana and Qiao Sang is definitely going to be exciting! Thank goodness I managed to snatch a live ticket. You have no idea how hard it was to get."

"Of course I know! I had all the employees in my company help me try to get one. I promised a day of paid leave to whoever got it. As it turned out, a pet beast employee actually managed to snag one, but it refused to hand it over because it wanted to come itself! It wasn’t until I offered three days of paid leave that it finally gave me the ticket."

"It’s hard to guess today’s score. It feels like either of them could win."

"Serana will definitely win. After all, she has five Emperor Level pet beasts and used to battle constantly for a Professional Beastmaster Club. She has a wealth of combat experience."

"Sure, but people said the same thing when Qiao Sang went up against Xia Huo."

"Xia Huo’s situation is different from Serana’s. Serana has far more battle experience than Xia Huo. Plus, Xia Huo’s fifth Emperor Level pet beast had just evolved, whereas Serana’s had not."

"I agree. Serana’s pet beasts are all quite strong. It doesn’t seem like she has a particularly outstanding ace among her Emperor Level pet beasts; rather, each one focuses on something different. No matter which one Little Treasure Spirit faces, it’ll likely trigger its Mutual Return and Life Borrowing traits."

"Well, I’m rooting for God Qiao anyway. In my heart, God Qiao is guaranteed to win."

"The obvious winner is Serana. Regardless, I put my beast lottery bets on her to win."

"What score did you bet on?"

"6 to 4. Serana 6, Qiao Sang 4."

Amidst the clamorous discussions, two red Flying-type pet beasts flew into the arena simultaneously from high up on both sides of the stadium.

BOOM!

As two dazzling fireworks bloomed in the air, two figures leaped down from the backs of the downward-crisscrossing red Flying-type pet beasts. Holding microphones, they announced loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Saye International Competition Hall, the venue for the Master Challenge!"

"I am your host, Nephthys!"

"And I am your host, Auroal!"

"First, we would like to introduce today’s guest, Lover Xinxin!" Nephthys and Auroal said in unison.

As their words fell, the sky rained down red petals, blanketing even the spectator stands. Immediately after, a heart-shaped pet beast, about sixty centimeters in size and predominantly bright red, appeared out of thin air on the field. It wore a Mini Shrinking Bracelet and cried out, "Xin Xin~"

Lover Xinxin was a rare Fairy-type Emperor Level pet beast. It was said that it could sense the affection of surrounding creatures toward it. Furthermore, whenever a pure and resolute love that had weathered many hardships appeared in the world, it would manifest of its own accord to offer blessings to the lovers.

The entire stadium erupted. In particular, the spectators who had come to watch with their significant others excitedly called out Lover Xinxin’s name, hoping to draw its attention. The married couples in the audience were much calmer in comparison.

"Today, along with Lover Xinxin, our friends here at the venue, and the viewers in front of their televisions, we will witness the Master Challenge! The Championship Finals! The second match of the round-robin tournament!"
