"You’re here." Red went straight to the point. "I’ll explain the match rules first. There will be a total of three battles: two 1V1 matches and one 2V2 doubles match. Only if you win all of them will you pass the A-Level Professional Beast Tamer assessment."

"In these three assessment battles, the same Pet Beast cannot be summoned again to participate in another battle."

"If any trace of using Potions, items, Spirit Marks, or other external forces is discovered, you will immediately lose your assessment qualification."

"All clear?"

Qiao Sang nodded. "Got it."

"Good." As Red spoke, he operated his phone.

Right after, a square Pet Beast phantom, its whole body glowing with silver light, descended out of thin air.

Inspector... The identity of this phantom flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

Compared to last time, its eyes were obviously more spirited, like a robot that had suddenly gained life.

The square Pet Beast, shrouded in silver light, had its eyes glow blue. It looked left and right, as if confirming identities.

A moment later, it moved to the center of the field and called out:

"Shenshen."

Qiao Sang and Red stood at opposite sides of the field, not moving; they were already in their respective areas.

The square Pet Beast, glowing with silver light, looked around again, then spoke human words:

"This assessment battle is a 1V1 match. Both sides, please summon the Pet Beast for this round after the countdown ends. Once they appear, the battle may begin. There is no time limit."

After speaking, it looked ahead.

At the same time, a phantom of the number "10" appeared where its gaze landed.

Accompanied by its countdown, the phantom began to change.

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2..."

I absolutely can’t lose. If I lose, I’ll have to stay on Flame Sky Star for the assessment again next year... Qiao Sang slowly exhaled, her gaze growing firm.

"1." The number phantom vanished.

Qiao Sang formed a Seal Gesture at the fastest speed of her life.

Red’s expression was unhurried, but his hands forming Seal Gestures were so fast they blurred into afterimages; his movements couldn’t be seen clearly at all.

Almost simultaneously, two mysterious, deep purple Star Arrays lit up in front of each of them.

"Ya Ya!"

Soon, Yaobao in its complete form appeared in the Star Array. It raised its head and let out an excited roar.

With its roar, a chaotic airflow instantly rose around them.

Suddenly, Yaobao sensed something, Teleported away, and appeared high up several hundred meters in the air.

"Bang!"

With a loud boom, a Pet Beast about thirty meters long appeared where Yaobao had just been. Its whole body was mostly dark blue, its belly white, its muscles clearly defined, its tail broad and flat, its eyes sharp and focused. Two white whiskers extended from each corner of its mouth, and it held two gigantic water blades in its hands.

The ground beneath its feet collapsed. It was easy to imagine that if Yaobao hadn’t left just now, it would definitely have taken a huge hit.

Martial Arts Otters, a dual Water-type and Combat Series Emperor Level Pet Beast. Its whiskers can sense the direction of water flow in the sea. It basically dwells in rapid currents to temper its strength. Its personality is serious, and no matter what task it’s assigned, it will work hard to complete it... The data on the distant Pet Beast flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

Water-type and Combat Series, huh... Martial Arts Otters can’t fly. Even if it uses its powerful legs to jump into the air, it’s impossible for it to stay up there for long... Various thoughts rapidly flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind as she spoke:

"Gravity Purgatory."

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao’s expression turned excited, its eyes glowing blue, and then it turned into a streak of flame, diving downward.

In almost the blink of an eye, Yaobao rushed to a point about ten meters above Martial Arts Otters.

As it descended, an invisible force crashed downward, covering the entire field.

The ground immediately showed signs of severe cracking.

The muscles on Martial Arts Otters’ body tensed slightly, but its stance didn’t waver at all. Its knees didn’t even bend the slightest arc.

So this is a Combat Series Emperor Level Pet Beast. The Gravity doesn’t seem to be affecting it in the slightest... Qiao Sang’s heart sank a little.

As the thought flashed by, Martial Arts Otters raised its paw. The gigantic water blade in its right paw suddenly extended several meters and slashed straight toward where Yaobao was.

The extended length of the water blade was just enough to precisely strike Yaobao’s body.

However, at that very moment, Yaobao vanished from midair and appeared on the ground not far away.

"Boom!!!"

Just as it landed, the ground exploded, and dark red, scalding magma spurted out, turning the entire field into a Purgatory in an instant.

ps: I hope everyone can vote to support Qiao Sang, but definitely don’t spend money to vote! Even if we don’t get into the top ten, I’ll still post extra Chapters!
