After a few seconds, a deafening roar erupted, and the entire scene exploded into chaos.

“Ahhh! Did Ice Xilu win? Did it actually win?!”

“Whoa! Dozens of ice flowers sealing everything! It turned the tables completely!”

“I get it now! I finally understand! Qiao Sang knew from the beginning that Ice Xilu would evolve in this match. That’s why the first ice blossom was just a diversion! Only after evolving did Ice Xilu unleash the true power of its Ice Flower Seal to win in a single strike!”

“I never expected Qiao Sang, at such a young age, to devise such a meticulous strategy from the very start…”

“I thought Ice Xilu had just recently learned Ice Flower Seal, but it was hiding its real strength all along!”

“Qiao Sang is only 15, right? And they’ve already trained Ice Xilu’s Ice Flower Seal to this level. Isn’t that a little too insane?!”

The Ice Flower Seal is renowned among all high-level ice skills, not just for its powerful sealing effect in the later stages but also for its unparalleled beauty.

Because of this, even though Ice Flower Seal isn’t particularly useful in its early stages, many Beast Tamers still spend a significant amount of time teaching their pets the skill.

Coordinators, in particular, make up a large portion of this group.

However, it was soon discovered that whether a pet beast was of royal or advanced rank, the number of blossoms generated by Ice Flower Seal at the same proficiency level was the same.

Higher-level pets might produce larger blossoms, but the quantity remained constant.

The only factor that could increase the number of blossoms was proficiency.

This means that Ice Xilu wasn’t producing more blossoms because it evolved, it had been hiding its true proficiency from the start!

The crowd's chatter grew louder.

Surprising battles were nothing new, but when the unexpected came from Ice Xilu, the audience’s emotions were ignited, leaving them unable to calm down.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the competitors' area was much tenser.

Facing a stronger opponent wasn’t intimidating in itself, but realizing that this opponent was two years younger and showed such terrifying potential to win the national campus senior division league? That was terrifying.

On the field, a mechanical pet beast wearing a referee badge floated over to inspect Ice Sea Lion’s condition. After confirming the result, it blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.

Qiao Sang’s enlarged holographic portrait and name immediately appeared above the arena.

“Ice Xilu!”

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Lubao ran over to Qiao Sang, wrapped her tail around her, and lifted her onto her back. Then, she dashed toward the audience area in Zone B.

The spectators in Zone B erupted in excitement at the sight.

In major tournaments, well-known contestants often interacted with the audience after a victory to celebrate.

The audience instinctively thought that Qiao Sang was moved by the enthusiasm of the people from Guwu District and had brought Ice Xilu to interact with them.

In an instant, nearly everyone began screaming and pulling out their phones, eager to capture the moment.

The perfected Ice Flower Seal is just too amazing, she one-shot Ice Sea Lion! This investment was totally worth it… Wait, what’s Lubao doing? Why is she wrapping me up with her tail? Oh, she’s putting me on her back… Where is she going? Toward the audience? Is this some kind of victory lap? Could it be that Lubao’s personality changed again after evolving…?

Throughout the process, Qiao Sang was utterly baffled.

Just as she was wondering, Lubao suddenly stopped in front of the Zone B audience.

Qiao Sang looked up and immediately spotted a green snake-like pet beast in the front row.

Bringing pets to matches wasn’t uncommon, but most brought small-sized ones. A pet beast of this size, almost entirely coiled around its Beast Tamer, was hard to miss.

“Fei fei!”

“Fei fei!”

The green snake-like pet called out excitedly to Lubao.

Its eager expression, as though it wanted to leap over, left Qiao Sang stunned.

Wow, even the pets here in Guwu District are crazy fans of the Water Luriana species…

“Lu!”

“Lu!”

Lubao responded enthusiastically, surprising Qiao Sang even further.

“Qiao Sang, congratulations. Both matches were excellent.” A familiar voice came from beside the green snake-like pet beast.

Though the speaker wore a cap and mask, Qiao Sang recognized him instantly, it was Uncle Pei.

“Uncle Pei…” Qiao Sang started but then abruptly stopped.

Wait… A long green pet beast?!

Her gaze shifted back to the snake-like pet, and she suddenly realized the truth.

This green snake-like pet was the very friend Lubao had wanted to see!

No wonder Lubao rushed here as soon as the match ended, greeting it so happily. It was her old friend from Guwu District!

Even during the match, when Lubao faced that ice spike attack, she was looking in this direction!

It wasn’t mastering Ice Flower Seal that triggered Lubao’s evolution, it was reuniting with her old friend!

Understanding the true reason for Lubao’s evolution, Qiao Sang’s emotions became incredibly complex.

What a friendship… She thought with heartfelt admiration.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ice Xilu! I love you!”

“Ice Xilu! Don’t just stop there!”

“Look at me! Look at me!”

Fans waved their phones, eager to get the perfect shot.

With so many people around, some topics were best left unsaid. After a moment of thought, Qiao Sang said, “Uncle Pei, check your phone later.”

“Got it.” Pei Shipan nodded.

So she’s the one who lost her job because of Lubao… Qiao Sang gave the snake-like pet’s Beast Tamer a polite smile before leaning down to whisper something in Lubao’s ear.

“Lu.”

Hearing her tamer’s words, Lubao called out to the green snake, signaling, See you later, before leaving.

As their figures grew smaller, Wei Ying, the snake pet’s tamer, recalled Qiao Sang’s earlier smile and asked, “Does she know me?”

Pei Shipan glanced at the message he’d just received and replied, “Not directly, but she’s already figured out who you are.”

“She said to meet her in her room.”

At the Deep Sea Mantis Hotel.

“Yap yap!”

Yabao excitedly circled the newly evolved Lubao several times before stopping and letting out a battle cry filled with fighting spirit.

Wanna spar?!

“Lu!”

Lubao’s eyes instantly lit up with equal fervor.

I’ve been waiting for this fight!

“Not now.” Qiao Sang reminded them from the bed.

“Lubao, stay in the room. Your friend will be here soon.”

“Lu…”

Lubao thought for a moment, then nodded.

There’ll be plenty of chances to spar with Yabao later. Meeting an old friend is more important.

“Yap!”

Yabao barked in agreement.

After the visit, we’ll fight!

“Lu!”

Lubao agreed wholeheartedly.

Qiao Sang: …

“Xun…”

In the corner, Little Treasure looked utterly despondent.

I don’t get it. How did I become the third child in just one morning…?
