Qiao Sang managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long silence: "Then the contestants really don't have it easy."
The uncle responded: "After all, this is the Regional Championships. Everyone who has finally managed to qualify certainly hopes to win."
After saying that, he switched to another topic: "Do you have any contestants you support?"
Qiao Sang's heart stirred as she asked: "Is it already known who is participating?"
"People like Yang Yuanhang, Hong Xiaoning, and Qiu Ao,they are all participating." The uncle said.
Qiao Sang was not unfamiliar with these nas, almost every marketing account's list of contestants included them. She had specifically searched for them;
they were all contestants who had participated in the Regional Championships before and achieved decent results.
Famous contestants like these are basicially under constant observation, as soon as they successfully register, the news spreads quickly.
"Who do you support?" The uncle asked again.
Qiao Sang said with a straight face: "Qiao Sang."
Mikayla turned her head to glance at her.
The uncle thought for a mont and said: "Never heard of her. Is she soone who hasn't participated in the Regional Championships before?"
Qiao Sang gave an affirmative "Mm."
The uncle was not interested in contestants who had never participated in the Regional Championships, so he switched to saying: "I support Qiu Ao."
Qiu Ao, 31 years old, a C-rank Beast Master. He participated in the Regional Championships at the age of 28, which could be considered young and promising. This is his third ti participating.
For a C-rank Beast Master, no matter how good the results are, it is basically impossible to enter the top ten in a Regional Championship where B-rank Beast Masters also participate, especially in a place like the Central Hollow Region where talent is everywhere.
In the midst of their casual chatting, the flying pet landed at the entrance of the Beast Master Center.
After paying the flight fee, Qiao Sang and Mikayla walked into the Beast Master Center and headed straight for the accommodation area.
With Tianan City about to host the Regional Championships, there were several tis more people at the Beast Master Center than in other places. Fortunately, most people in the accommodation area had already checked in. Although the rest area was crowded, there weren't particularly many people at the front desk.
Once the people in front had finished, Qiao Sang stepped forward and prepared to take out her ID card and Beast Master badge.
"Do you have a reservation?" The staff mber asked casually.
"No." Qiao Sang said while taking out her ID card.
Hearing this, the staff mber didn't even look and said directly: "Sorry, all our rooms are full."
Qiao Sang looked up and asked: "Isn't it said that contestants don't need a reservation and can stay at the Beast Master Center for free?"
The staff mber was stunned. Then she thought of sothing and turned to look at the foreign friend beside her, her face uncontrollably showing surprise. Since when could foreign friends participate in the Regional Championships? ȓàŊȯBΕs
Just as she composed herself and was about to ask this foreign friend to take out her ID and badge, Qiao Sang pulled out her Beast Master badge as well and placed it on the counter along with her ID card.
The staff mber looked down, and when she saw the color of the Beast Master badge, she was utterly shocked. A B-rank Beast Master badge? She couldn't help but look up and down at the girl in front of her, who looked like she was still in high school, and realized one thing: The one participating in the Regional Championships was not the foreign friend, but this young-looking girl...
"Yes, free accommodation is possible." The staff mber quickly took the ID card and Beast Master badge to process the check-in. When the computer screen displayed the information, she specifically looked at the age column. With just one look, she froze on the spot.
How old? 17 years old?!
The staff mber looked up blankly at the girl in front of her, then looked back at the age on the data several tis, finally letting herself digest this incredible fact. The B-rank Beast Master in front of her wasn't pretending to be young, she really was this young! Becoming a B-rank Beast Master at 17- how, how was this even possible?!
As a gossip-lover who closely followed the Regional Championships, she wished she could upload this news to the internet right now.
"Is it done?" Qiao Sang asked.
The staff mber gathered her thoughts and imdiately replied: "Done, done! Room 2603, we have prepared a suite for you!" As she spoke, she handed back the Beast Master badge and ID card with both hands.
The Beast Master Center had announced that they would provide free dical care and accommodation for every contestant in the Regional Championships. Initially, many contestants chose to stay at the center, but as incidents involving contestants occurred every year, fewer and fewer chose to stay.
Later, the center began providing the most expensive suites for the contestants. However, even so, few contestants chose to stay there.

Room 2603.
Qiao Sang saw the large bed in the room at a glance. She fell silent for a mont and decided to show respect to her teacher: "Teacher, how about I sleep on the sofa tonight?"
"No need."
Mikayla said while inspecting the room environnt, "I can find a place to stay outside."
What, you aren't staying with ... Qiao Sang was stunned for a mont and said: "How about I stay outside with you?"
"I've already checked. this place is close to the competition venue, so it's the most convenient for you."
Mikayla paused here and added: "If you have trouble resting, tell . I will be staying within ten kiloters of you, it's just a matter of one spatial shift."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang didn't say more and nodded: "Okay."
True, both Little Treasure and Spengami could use spatial shift, it might be even more convenient than staying on different floors of the sa building. After all, if they lived on different floors, they wouldn't necessarily think of using spatial shift.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang thought of sothing and said: "By the way, Teacher, soone taught Emphatic Positioning in the secret realm."
Mikayla's heart skipped a beat, but her tone was calm: "Is that so?"
"Yeah."
Qiao Sang smiled, "She was a teammate I recruited. Speaking of which, you were the one who suggested finding a teammate."
"Then she must be a good teammate." Mikayla said.
Qiao Sang complained: "At first I thought she was a slacker;
she didn't help much during the first few dozen days."
Mikayla: ...
"But later she helped a lot."
Qiao Sang continued, "If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it back before registration closed."
Mikayla felt comfortable hearing this and said with a restrained smile: "That shows you have a good eye for choosing teammates."
"Not really."
Qiao Sang said honestly, "Mainly, she was the only one interested in my reward."
Mikayla: ...
Mikayla didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and said: "You rest first. I've already contacted the school;
they should arrive tomorrow."
Qiao Sang nodded: "Okay."
"Make sure to figure out the skills awakened by the Blazing Divine Lion." Mikayla instructed.
"Understood."
"Also."
Mikayla said, "There are hundreds of contestants in the Regional Championships every year. It's impossible for you to know everything about them before the competition. Instead of studying who your opponents are, you should take these few days to relax."
As she spoke, she showed a smile: "Believe in your own strength."
During this period, Qiao Sang had been racing against ti to complete tasks. She had barely slept in the secret realm, and her nerves had been high during the last few dozen days, having Yabao co out of the magma every hour to help with healing. Mikayla had seen all of this. To be honest, she truly felt that her student needed a good rest.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a mont, then bead: "Understood!"
After Mikayla left, Qiao Sang imdiately took out her phone to book a training ground so that Yabao could practice his three new skills and see how powerful they were. After looking for about three minutes, she put down her phone.
They were all booked...
Aren't people here to watch the matches? Why did they book all the training grounds at the Beast Master Center...
Qiao Sang felt a bit tired. The Beast Master Center allowed booking training grounds up to a month in advance, but the entire month was already booked. This ant that even after the competition officially started, she wouldn't be able to book a ground for training for a while.
With the competition approaching, how could she not train... she couldn't just let it go. Qiao Sang took out her phone again and started searching for other public training grounds nearby.
However, after searching for a long ti, she found that none of them could be booked.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure had been watching from the side. Seeing that they couldn't book a ground, he couldn't help but show a worried expression. Although he didn't like training, he knew his Beast Master had worked so hard for this competition, it was better to train for such an important event.
Qiao Sang thought for two seconds and dialed Mikayla's number. As the saying goes, if you have a problem, find a teacher. After two rings, the call didn't go through but was hung up. Just as Qiao Sang was about to send a ssage, Mikayla appeared out of thin air in the room the next second.
Qiao Sang was startled and suddenly asked: "Teacher, does your Spengami usually use skills without appearing?"
Mikayla replied casually: "That's right."
Then she asked: "Why did you look for ?"
Qiao Sang imdiately explained how she couldn't book a training ground. After listening, Mikayla frowned slightly and said: "Let see."
Then she took out her phone and sent a ssage. About half a minute later, her phone vibrated with a reply. After reading the content, Mikayla put it down and said in a deep voice: "Nearly half of the training grounds in Tianan City were booked at the sa ti."
Qiao Sang pondered for a few seconds and said: "You an soone did this on purpose so that others can't book training grounds and can't train?"
Mikayla nodded slightly: "Exactly."
In fact, according to her usual practice, she would have arranged accommodation and training in advance. But this ti, the ti they left the secret realm after the last task was simply too late;
there was no ti to do anything. However, this wasn't a big problem, as long as...
Before Mikayla could say her arrangent, Qiao Sang's phone rang. she picked it up: "Hello? Mm, I've successfully registered and I'm in Tianan City... You're here too? I'm staying at the Beast Master Center... It's fine here, I'll change if sothing happens... Actually, there's no problem, it's just that I can't book a training ground... What? You have a villa here with an outdoor training ground?! Then I... that's great, I'll head over later!"
Qiao Sang hung up and said excitedly: "Teacher, no need to worry about the training ground. I have a friend who has a house with a training ground here. We can train directly at her place."
"Xun xun!" Little Treasure showed a happy expression beside her.
"What's your friend's na?" Mikayla asked.
"Her na is Yu Ke." Qiao Sang said.
To be honest, she knew people would use any ans to win such a large-scale competition, but she never imagined soone would do sothing as insane as booking all the training grounds in the city! Fortunately, there was Yu Ke.
Mikayla picked up her phone, checked the ti, and said: "I'll go with you then."
"Okay." Qiao Sang nodded. Then she thought of sothing and asked: "Teacher, do you think a Beast Master can change the color of the star array when summoning a pet?"
Mikayla shook her head: "No. Why do you suddenly ask that?"
"Nothing, just curious."
After Qiao Sang said that, she suddenly shouted: "Hidden Shield!"
Mikayla: "!!!"
"Peng?" Spengami's voice sounded.
"Xun xun..." Hearing his Beast Master's words, Little Treasure's eyes rolled as he floated toward the source of the sound, reached out his paw, and touched it. When he felt the texture, he was first stunned, and then his eyes lit up.
Qiao Sang asked: "Teacher, what is Spengami saying?"
Mikayla maintained her facial expression: "It's just asking why you suddenly called for Hidden Shield, asking if there's one here."
Qiao Sang laughed: "No, I just shouted randomly."
What exactly went wrong that she's suspecting again... Mikayla naturally didn't believe it and changed the subject: "You rest first. Call when you go to train."
Then she nodded toward the air beside her. After that, she vanished from the spot.
"Xun xun!" Little Treasure couldn't wait to float to his Beast Master and gave a cry, indicating that the texture of Spengami was exactly the sa as Hidden Shield.
"Qing qing." Qingbao appeared and nodded in agreent. Moreover, the outline felt by the wind was also the sa.
Qiao Sang's heart stirred and she said: "I see."
Although Mikayla and Spengami had many similarities with Xu Gehong and Hidden Shield, the color of the star array really couldn't be faked. However, Mikayla was an S-rank Beast Master;
it wasn't impossible for her to have so ans that others couldn't understand... She quickly gathered her thoughts.
Forget it, better not think about these things for now. The most important thing at hand was preparing for the Regional Championships.
---
Four hours later.
In the outskirts far from the city area, surrounded by mountains and water. There were many villa areas here, but because they were too far from the city, they were mostly used as leisure and vacation spots by people with so wealth.
When Qiao Sang arrived at the location specified by the navigation, she found a girl in a blue dress already waiting outside the gate. It was Yu Ke.
"You're finally here!" Yu Ke's eyes lit up as she walked over quickly.
"This is my teacher, Mikayla." Qiao Sang introduced.
Qiao Sang's teacher... then isn't that a teacher from the Imperial Beast University... Yu Ke was stunned for a mont and imdiately straightened her posture to greet: "Hello, Teacher!"
Mikayla smiled slightly: "Hello."
"Let's go inside." Yu Ke said, her eyes uncontrollably glancing around as if searching for sothing.
"What are you looking for?" Qiao Sang asked.
Yu Ke said tactfully: "I heard that Breezewing Nini appeared in Tianli City yesterday. Is that your Qingbao?"
It ant she was looking for Qingbao.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, a thunderous explosion suddenly ca from not far away.
"Yap!" Yabao imdiately jumped down from his Beast Master's arms and showed a vigilant expression toward the source of the sound.
"It's fine, it's fine." Yu Ke said quickly.
"It's just that there's also a Beast Master participating in the Regional Championships living next door. He has also been training recently."
Qiao Sang asked: "Do you know him?"
Yu Ke shook her head: "No."
"Then how do you know he's also participating in the Regional Championships?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Participating in the Regional Championships is such a big deal;
of course all the neighbors know," Yu Ke said.
"Actually, I've never dealt with their family or t them, but when I ca over two days ago, their family ca to the door to deliver an invitation, saying soone in their family had officially registered for the Regional Championships and they wanted to hold a party and invited us neighbors to go over."
After saying that, she turned to state her position: "Don't worry, even if he's my neighbor, I will definitely support you."
Qiao Sang: ...
Suddenly she was reminded of her mother... Speaking of which, it seed she hadn't told her mother about participating in the Regional Championships yet...
