Chapter 882: Chapter 748: Fierce Flame Monkey (Two in One)_2

On the field.

Two General-level Water-type Pet Beasts were constantly attacking each other.

One had its entire head and limbs covered in Spirit Marks, while the other’s limbs were equipped with mechanical gadgets.

Those Spirit Marks seem to allow Skills to be cast faster… Do those gadgets increase the Pet Beast’s movement speed? Qiao Sang watched the battle on the field, continuously speculating in her mind.

She knew little about these Pet Beasts from Chao Su Star, just their species and Attributes and some distinctive habits they had, but she did not have a detailed understanding of the deeper aspects of Pet Beast combat strengths and weaknesses.

So she did not know which aspects of the Pet Beasts these gadgets and Spirit Marks enhanced.

At this moment, Billet spoke up,

“The Spirit Marks drawn on that Water Jug Beast can speed up the movement of Energy in the Pet Beast, shortening the time needed to release Skills. It looks like it can reduce the time by 1.5 seconds.”

Qiao Sang was shocked, “How can you tell it’s 1.5 seconds?”

Billet patiently answered,

“Spirit Marks do not work 24 hours a day; most of them activate when needed. When they activate, the Spirit Marks emit a corresponding glow. That Water Jug Beast released the Water Pulse Skill twice; the second time, the Spirit Marks reacted, and the time was reduced by 1.5 seconds.”

Impressive… Qiao Sang admired internally, then asked, “Teacher, do you understand so much about these Spirit Marks?”

“I know about their general effects,” Billet said indifferently. “To make it to the end on the Professional Beast Tamer path, it’s not just about competitions. You might attend competitions later that do not allow the use of Spirit Marks and gadgets, but the Secret Realm does.”

“Inside the Secret Realm, all means to become stronger can be utilized.”

“In the future, you will understand these things just like I do.”

In his words, Qiao Sang sensed a weightiness.

“I digress.” Billet looked back at the field, returning to the original topic, “The gadget equipped on that Four-tailed Water Fox, if I’m not mistaken, should allow it to quickly leap into the air.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Four-tailed Water Fox suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed a white mist, shrouding everything on the field within.

Following that, a huge figure suddenly soared into the sky.

Upon closer look, it was indeed the Four-tailed Water Fox.

The devices on its limbs were ejecting high-pressure gases, clearly showing it was the gadget that propelled the Four-tailed Water Fox into the air.

Isn’t this just a booster… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Taking advantage of the Water Jug Beast’s impaired vision and its own advantage of not being on the ground, the Four-tailed Water Fox quickly ended the match.

At this moment, a staff member walked over, bent down, and said in a respectful low voice,

“Miss Qiao Sang, it’s your turn next, please follow me to prepare backstage.”

Billet obviously heard the exchange, he smiled slightly, “Go ahead.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang stood up, followed the staff member, and arrived at the backstage tunnel.

After waiting for about two minutes, the staff member with a headset made a “please” gesture, “Miss Qiao Sang, it’s your turn.”

Qiao Sang took a deep breath and stepped towards the tunnel exit.

Logically speaking, she had experience with the national campus leagues, participating in a big tournament should not be so nerve-wracking.

But perhaps because she got in through the back door, plus her earlier appearance was quite awkward, Qiao Sang felt significantly more nervous than she had anticipated.

The commentator’s voice rose,

“Approaching us are players Petra Nos and Qiao Sang!”

“Petra! Petra!”

“Petra! I love you!”

“Petra! Show her the strength of our Chao Su Star!”

A noisy wave of sound rose from the stands, all shouting Petra’s name.

Qiao Sang had already prepared herself mentally for the one-sided cheer, so it did not affect her too much; she stared at the golden-haired black woman coming out of the distant tunnel and steadied her nervous emotions.

This was just the beginning…

“3, 2, 1, start!” the mechanical voice echoed throughout the venue.

Qiao Sang’s hands quickly formed Seal Gestures.

Although Billet did not mention the pre-match performance, he had talked about the key points of the match.

The Professional Beast Tamer Star Tournament is different from the National Campus Beast Taming League and Pet Beast Arena fights. When they say the match has started, it means you can begin forming Seal Gestures, not letting both sides summon their Pet Beasts first to size each other up.

This kind of competition is thrilling; from the very beginning, the speed of forming Seal Gestures is a contest, followed by the Pet Beast’s reaction capabilities.

Usually, Pet Beasts come out and must act immediately.

However, because the opponent’s summoned Pet Beast is unknown and must act immediately, occasionally they encounter situations that play right into their hands.
