Chapter 1054: Chapter 824: Control
“I ntioned it to you last ti,” Qiao Sang said. “The first stage of the coordination competition is about showcasing the charm of your Pet Beast. The key is to highlight its unique characteristics. If it’s cool, show its coolness. If it’s cute, show its cuteness. I believe you’re strong, so I wanted you to display your strength—this was my oversight.”
“Your most powerful skill at the mont is Feather Blade, but the most direct visual effect to showcase its strength would be unleashing all the feathers at once. I didn’t take this into account.”
When registering last ti, the coordination competition was still two months away. She had many other things to take care of: training, studying, making money. It wasn’t feasible to dedicate two months solely to preparing for the competition.
So at the ti, she simply explained the general requirents of the coordination competition to Little Treasure Hunter and Gangbao, letting them fit in so training on their own. She hadn’t expected Gangbao to deliver such a striking visual impact.
Now, with only twenty-odd days until the coordination competition, Gangbao had already mastered multitasking, skillfully controlling its Doppelganger for remote training while individually focusing on polishing coordination-specific abilities. It was ti for her to allocate more energy to preparation too.
After all, the purpose of participating in the coordination competition was to let more people witness Gangbao’s charm. Naturally, she bore the mindset of winning. She couldn’t just show up unprepared.
“Gangzhan.”
Gangbao called out, indicating it understood, though it hadn’t expected humans to be so concerned about it not having feathers.
“Only *you* don’t mind…” Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to bring over a mirror to show Gangbao what it looked like without feathers. Refocusing, she said, “I’ve been watching several coordination competitions on the computer recently and noticed an important issue.”
“Gangzhan?”
Gangbao let out a sound, asking: “What is it?”
“It’s control,” Qiao Sang said seriously. “You saw the last coordination competition’s live performances. Those Pet Beasts turned their Skills into bursts that created beautiful light particles or aesthetically pleasing effects.”
“But when we train, the Skill explosions only generate strong air currents and shockwaves.”
“Gangzhan.”
Gangbao wore a contemplative expression.
“The root cause is that we haven’t learned to control the Skills,” Qiao Sang continued. “If we train on control, we can achieve the sa effects.”
“Gangzhan?”
Gangbao looked over, asking: “How do we train?”
“We’ll start with the entrance presentation,” Qiao Sang said, pulling out her phone and playing a video from her browsing history.
Onscreen, a green Pet Beast with two pink flowers on its head began spinning in place. As it spun, pink petals flew outwards from the flowers, soon forming a pink whirlwind that enveloped the creature.
After spinning for about thirty seconds, the whirlwind, made up of petals, abruptly exploded.
Countless pink petals showered down from the air, exceptionally elegant and beautiful.
After watching, Gangbao looked unusually puzzled. It couldn’t figure out how this video related to it—it didn’t have a Skill like that.
At this mont, Qiao Sang said, “Doesn’t this look like your Wild Wind?”
Gangbao: “???”
“Really?”
“Try spinning while using Wild Wind. It should form a cyclone-like vortex, and then you can release it like the Pet Beast did in the video,” Qiao Sang instructed. “However, both the Wild Wind during the spinning and the final phase where the wind dissipates require strong control. Any mistake will ruin the entire introduction.”
Gangbao pondered this, then responded with a sound.
But it worried that exploding Wild Wind wouldn’t create a visually pleasing effect.
“You’ve forgotten—you’re showcasing your strength,” Qiao Sang said with a grin. “The presentation doesn’t need to be beautiful. What’s important is displaying your charm as a Pet Beast. As long as we execute this introduction smoothly, proceeding to the next stage shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Gangzhan.”
Gangbao nodded, indicating it understood.
It then turned to walk outside.
It realized that Wild Wind wasn’t suitable for indoor training.
Qiao Sang followed Gangbao to the open-air training grounds.
As soon as they arrived, a red-and-gold beam of light flashed in front of her eyes.
Then ca a loud “boom,” as a wave of heat and shock rippled out.
A charred figure fell from the blast.
L-Little Treasure Hunter… Qiao Sang reluctantly averted her gaze for 0.1 seconds.
Within those 0.1 seconds, a beam of blue light enveloped Little Treasure Hunter.
“Xun Xun~”
Within a few seconds, Little Treasure Hunter had revived in place.
“Xun Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunter blinked and, catching sight of its Beast Tar in the distance, its eyes imdiately brimd with tears, looking pitifully aggrieved.
This was all part of growing up… Qiao Sang rcilessly looked away and walked toward Gangbao’s position.
“Xun Xun…”
Seeing its Beast Tar ignoring it, Little Treasure Hunter was overco with sadness.
Just as tears were about to pour, a burst of flas descended from the sky.
“Xun Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunter imdiately held back its tears and Teleported away.
anwhile—
Qiao Sang looked up at Gangbao, who was in the air, and communicated with her thoughts: “Spin in midair while casting Wild Wind, and rember to control the energy.”
“Gangzhan.”
Gangbao’s voice echoed in her mind.
The next second, it flapped its wings and began spinning.
Soon, a fierce wind began to howl.
…..
2:30 PM.
In the skies.
Qiao Sang sat on Yaobao’s back, comforting it: “It’s normal to struggle at the start of training. Don’t worry—we still have over 20 days. Once you’re more proficient with the Wild Wind Skill, you’ll be able to control it better.”
“Gangzhan.”
Gangbao nodded, indicating its understanding.
Twenty-five minutes later.
Coordination Center.
To successfully register for the coordination competition, the first step was to get certified as an F-grade Harmonizer at the Coordination Center.
So ti ago, Qiao Sang had been busy shopping and stockpiling goods to make the most of her Unlimited Card before it expired, leaving her no ti to visit.
Now that the card was gone, she finally had ti.
First floor lobby.
Window 19.
“I’d like to take the F-grade Harmonizer assessnt,” Qiao Sang said, handing over her ID card.
“Please wait a mont.” The staff mber took her ID card and operated on the computer.
Soon, they returned the card: “You’ve successfully registered. Please head to the second floor to wait.”
“Got it.” Qiao Sang took back her ID card and went upstairs.
The waiting area wasn’t very crowded at this ti.
Qiao Sang scanned the room and noticed people of all ages.
However, they all had one thing in common—everyone was dressed fashionably, and many had also decorated their Pet Beasts.
Although Pet Beasts didn’t hold high positions on Chao Su Star, among all Pet Beast-related professions, Harmonizers undoubtedly treated their Pet Beasts the best.
Harmonizers needed to ensure that their Pet Beasts were in excellent condition across the board. This ant no skimping on food and ensuring they got plenty of rest.
Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.
About ten minutes later, her na appeared on the giant virtual screen upfront.
“Number 166: Qiao Sang, please proceed to Room 09.”
PS: Yes, just like everyone said, this is the final plotline on Chao Su Star. But it’s an important one! Don’t skip it!
