Thank you @Rudy for the Ko-fi!!!🥰

The healing soundwave's effect was to restore a calm state of mind, not to make one foolish.
Facing the sudden attack, the Blaze Dog knew how to respond.
It raised its head calmly and opened its mouth, intending to unleash a jet of flas.
However, due to its overly peaceful mindset, its movents slowed down by multiple tis.
Before the flas could be fired, Lubao's attack had already landed.
Boom!!!
The Blaze Dog, hit squarely, flew back several ters, rolling over multiple tis before coming to a stop.
"Yap..."
Before losing consciousness, the Blaze Dog drowsily thought:
Oh, I've been hit...
Ah, I lost...
Watching the Blaze Dog fly backward and finally faint, Xu Yixuan thought calmly: It's over.
Tweet!
At that mont, the whistle signaling the end of the match rang out.
Xu Yixuan snapped back to reality, her face changing dramatically as she saw the peacefully unconscious Blaze Dog. She cried out in grief:
“Fire Lord!”
In the stands, the audience seed to awaken as well, gradually returning to their normal states, and the sound of chatter filled the air.
“What the heck just happened to ? Was I enchanted?!”
“Sa here! I didn’t even feel like screaming for Ice Qiya just now!”
“Yeah, neither!”
“How did Xu Yixuan lose?!”
“It’s the healing soundwave.” A short-haired woman sitting among the front-row leaders explained.
“That endangered pet beast’s healing soundwave is highly proficient. It even affected us over here.”
“The Blaze Dog didn’t lose unjustly. Battles require constant vigilance and preparedness.” A man beside her added.
“Fire-type pet beasts are naturally spirited, but the healing soundwave dulled that spirit, relaxed its alertness, and slowed its reaction ti.”
“It also influenced its Beast Tar.” The short-haired woman remarked.
“What’s your take on this?” The man asked seriously. This Qiao Sang’s capabilities far exceeded that of a regular high schooler. Not only did she have more pet beasts than others, but each was extraordinary. Without surprises, she would definitely secure a spot in the divisional finals.
The short-haired woman kept her gaze on Lubao. After a pause, she replied:
“I want to pet it.”
The man: ???

The National Campus Beast Mastering League was being live-stread on the official platform.
Since it was still early in the competition, with nurous contestants and matches happening simultaneously across different grades, viewers had to search for their preferred school and grade to watch the streams.
At this stage, most viewers were teachers, classmates, and family or friends of the participants.
Hanggang City
In a spacious 200-square-ter apartnt, the group-stage match in Hongrao Town was playing on a three-ter-wide virtual screen in the living room.
“Dad! Mom! That contestant Qiao Sang is up!” A girl on the sofa shouted excitedly.
“The one with the Fla hound?” A woman holding a spatula walked out from the kitchen.
“Yes!”
The girl nodded, then pondered, “I wonder if my brother will face her today?”
A tall, burly man resembling a bear erged from the bedroom and said, “If they et, they et. Your brother will handle it just fine!”
After the preliminary round, anyone following the tournant knew that a new star had risen in the senior division, a contestant with a green star array who had contracted a Fla hound.
The man wasn’t overly confident in his son but believed in offering vocal support. After all, one couldn’t concede defeat before even competing.
“You’re all talk.” The woman teased with a smile as she sat on the sofa.
“How is it just talk? My brother is amazing!” The girl pouted in dissatisfaction.
Her earnest defense made the woman chuckle. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze was drawn to the pet beast on the screen.
After a mont of silence, she asked, “What kind of pet beast is that? It’s so beautiful.”
“Why isn’t the Fla hound being used...” The man muttered as he instinctively took out a scanner to identify the pale-blue pet beast on the screen.
The chanical voice announced:
[Ice Qiya: A water- and ice-type mid-tier pet beast on the verge of extinction in the Ancient Guwu Region. The gem on its forehead can emit a magical healing light.]
The living room fell silent.
Seconds later, three distinct voices broke in unison:
“An endangered pet beast?!”
Outside, a passing pigeon was startled mid-flight and nearly lost its balance.

Similar scenes unfolded across Zhejiang Sea Province as people watching the stream spread the news like wildfire.
“Did you hear? A kid summoned an endangered pet beast in the National Campus Beast Mastering League!”
“Soone at Shengshui High contracted an endangered pet beast!”
“Guess what? A brat tad an endangered pet beast!”
“Go watch now! An endangered pet beast is live in action!”
“Wait! Which platform? You didn’t tell !”
The news spread exponentially, and the number of viewers on the official platform skyrocketed.
It wasn’t long before the inevitable happened.
The platform crashed.

At Huicheng Beast Taming High School, those watching the matches in person remained oblivious to the chaos online.
At that mont, Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan had already entered their second match.
On the field:
“Yinyin.” Xu Yixuan called.
The ghostly pet beast, with its dark green body, one large red eye, and a ring of white bones as decoration, made a sound and vanished.
Dream Phantom: A ghost-type pet beast with a dream-inducing ability. Staring into its eye for more than two seconds would drag opponents into a dream realm.
Qiao Sang recalled a forum post analyzing the top contenders in the senior division. Though it had malicious intentions, it saved her a lot of ti.
“Lubao.” she said softly.
Lubao scanned her surroundings warily. Her cold deanor made it appear as if she were rely glancing casually.
“Will-o’-the-wisp!” Xu Yixuan made the first move.
Though Dream Phantom remained unseen, a dozen ghostly green flas appeared around Lubao, forming a ring before rapidly closing in.
