Beast Tamer: The pet is just to help me build a bond

Chapter 458: Fighting Hogwarts [Subscription Request]

The schedule of the team competition is basically the same as that of the individual competition. The four groups of ABCD will take turns to compete, and the first place in the first round will have a better schedule arrangement.

As the first in Group B of the team competition, Sichuan University will appear in the second game.

In the first match, England's Imperial Beast University, which was the first to appear in Group A, faced the University of Ellis from Argentina, which had lost all the games in the first round.

There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the Empire Beastmaster won its first victory in the second round of the group stage without much effort.

Watching the Empire's Beastmaster's crushing victory, many viewers in England went to Hogwarts University's social media account to provoke and insult them.

"Did you see the performance of the Imperial Beast Tamer? Learn from him!"

"With Hogwarts' performance, how dare you call yourself the best university in the country?"

"It's time to wake up. Your era has long passed."

"The worst class, a disgrace to the empire!"

"Please do not elevate the athletes' performance to the level of the school."

"..."

……

Behind the scenes of the Phoenix Battle, in the common room of Hogwarts.

Gandalf, the usually amiable Hagrid, now had a serious expression on his face as he projected the messages from Hogwarts' social media account onto the TV.

“Have you seen these messages?”

"Did you read these messages?"

After hearing Hagrid Gandalf's two questions, Stan Lucien, Elvy Cameron and others all clenched their fists and nodded heavily.

"Once you see clearly, keep these doubts firmly in mind!"

“The road of life is always full of doubts!”

"Ordinary people don't have the ability, they can only tolerate it, ignore it, and pretend not to care."

"A truly strong person will ruthlessly defeat people's doubts about him!"

"In the first round, you missed the chance to become a strong team."

"Now that the opportunity has come to you again, can you seize it?"

"can!"

Stan Lucson was the first to growl through gritted teeth, and Elvy Cameron and others immediately responded in unison.

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the room were burning with the desire for revenge and to prove themselves.

……

In the lounge of Sichuan University.

Hong Bo did not underestimate the enemy. He glanced at everyone to make sure that Chen Wen and others were all focused.

"It's indeed smooth to win all the first rounds, but this doesn't mean you will definitely qualify!"

"Six years ago, the University of Washington also had a record of three wins and no losses in the death group in the 2017 global competition."

"However, they suffered a setback in the second round. First, they only achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses in the second round of the round-robin tournament, and then they lost in the subsequent play-offs and were eliminated!"

Having said this, Hong Bo paused, then sneered.

"Every generation has its own talent, and I believe the University of Washington would like us to replicate their feat."

"This way, when we cite examples of carelessness in the future, we won't just focus on this school."

No one laughed at Hong Bo's joke, and everyone looked tense.

No one wants to be nailed to the pillar of shame!

After observing that no one was arrogant, Hong Bo nodded slightly and reminded them again about the things they needed to pay attention to when fighting with Hogwarts.

"Be careful of the attacks of the three-headed Chimera and the control of the Storm Naga."

"Hogwarts should have figured out a way to crack Yinglong's tactics these days. Don't rush to merge after entering the field. Let the Fire-breathing Ape and the Earth Dragon Beast make a feint attack first."

"Chen Wen judged the opportunity and deployed the Yinglong tactics at the right time..."

As he was speaking, the organizer's staff had already knocked on the wall of the lounge door.

Hong Bo quickly finished speaking the key points, then patted Chen Wen and others on the shoulders in turn.

"Come on!"

Chen Wen and others nodded and followed Gong Zikun out one after another.

…“Next up is the first match of Group B!”

"Let us welcome from England..."

"Hogwarts University--!!"

"And from China..."

"Nishikawa University——!!"

As the host finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the audience burst into cheers.

In an instant, it was as if a helicopter flew over the audience at low altitude, and a sonic boom like a tsunami erupted.

"Saikawa University!! Saikawa University!!——"

"Hogwarts!! Hogwarts!!——"

"Alvy!! Alvy!!——"

"Chen Wen!! Chen Wen!!——"

"..."

Compared to the first match where the strength of the teams was clearly determined, the audience was more looking forward to the match between Xichuan University and Hogwarts.

Needless to say, Sichuan University's first place in the group has already proved their strength.

And Hogwarts, no matter how down and out it is, is still one of the most powerful beast-taming universities in England. With two epic potential pets, their strength should not be underestimated.

If the grouping had been a little better in previous years, they would have had no problem reaching the quarterfinals.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, players from both teams quickly came to the battlefield and stood in their respective preparation areas.

In an instant, Chen Wen and others discovered something unusual and their faces changed.

……

In the Chinese live broadcast room.

"Hogwarts University has come on as substitutes, and two of them at once!"

"Grace Allen! Susan Hillary!"

Gu Gu, who had made sufficient preparations, quickly read out the names of the three substitutes, and then said: "Their main pets are the unicorn beluga and the duck-billed water dragon..."

Fang Xing heard this and his face darkened. “They want a water battle. Except for A-Po, none of Sichuan University’s main pets are good at water battles.”

Gu Gu couldn't help showing a worried look, and reluctantly said: "It should be fine. Sichuan University encountered many water-attributed venues in the Asian qualifiers before, but they all won."

Fang Xing shook his head, his expression still solemn.

Can the opponents in the Asian qualifiers be the same as those in the global tournaments?

In the Asian qualifiers, Po ran rampant.

But in global competitions, almost every strong team has someone who can compete with Po.

Whether or not he could win the fight was another matter, but at least he could hold Po back for a while.

Moreover, he did not forget that the Storm Naga had transformed into a water chain to bind Charizard and Dracon in the first round of the game.

That's an ultimate skill, even Po might not be able to break free.

After hearing the commentator's analysis and watching Hogwarts's formation changes, the originally optimistic audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became worried.

……

On the field, Chen Wen and others also analyzed Hogwarts' purpose.

Gong Zikun looked at Chen Wen and suggested, "The field is a grassy terrain. Although the five pets of Hogwarts all have water attributes, they cannot transform the battlefield into a water attribute field in an instant. Therefore, if Sichuan University wants to win, it must fight quickly!"

By the end of his speech, his brows were furrowed.

Before the game started, the tactic that Hong Bo formulated for them was to let Charizard and Draconian make a feint attack first, and then after testing the situation, let Po, Swift Blue Bird and Shadow Wolf combine to transform into Yinglong to break the deadlock.

To prevent Po from falling into a trap, being bound by the Storm Naga, or being attacked by the three-headed Chimera.

But the situation now is that Sichuan University must take the initiative to attack and win quickly.

If they cannot gain enough advantage from Hogwarts before the University completes the renovation of the venue, they will most likely face failure.

The tactics arranged before the game were different from the best response based on the on-site situation, and several people were hesitant for a moment.

Seeing that the preparation time was about to end, Chen Wen decisively said: "First, suppress the fire, then the fire-breathing ape and the earth dragon beast will attack, and the other pets will listen to my command!"

Seeing the referee raise his right hand, Gong Zikun had no choice but to nod.
