Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Chapter 62, Group 1 Contestants

The last day of the preliminary rounds of the tournament.

Lin Su started watching the live replay of the pet battle to prepare for tomorrow's match.

"As expected, Ahri wasn't the only one who swept the entire arena clean."

Lin Su took notes as she read.

In fact, intermediate-level pets do not appear frequently in the first 12 arenas; some are even melees between only beginner-level pets.

The skills of the pet guild are also limited. Most people rely on cooperation to obtain a basic level spot, while others rely solely on luck, or like Ahri, they survive until the end and pick up the scraps.

Starting from Arena 13, each match featured more than one intermediate-level pet competing, clearly indicating that they were attracted by the rewards and thus signed up.

The skill levels of F-rank Beast Tamers vary greatly. Even with age restrictions in the arena competition, the skill gap between the contestants is still quite significant.

A particularly strong example is the Beastmaster Pan Shaoyi, who advanced in the last two rounds. He had two intermediate-level pets, which happened to be placed in different arena rounds, and both of them successfully advanced.

The weaker ones, such as the baby rock tortoise that advanced in the third round, retreated into its shell from the start and didn't move at all, but it stayed until the end and earned a spot in the next round.

There were a total of 20 arena matches and 40 qualifying spots, but only 30 people ultimately advanced, including 12 intermediate-level pets.

This competition is somewhat dependent on luck, and since the next round will be an odd number of matches, there's a chance for a popularity revival.

After matching the winning pets, tamers, skills, and estimated proficiency levels for each match, Lin Su pondered how to adjust Ahri's training plan for the evening.

Real combat definitely requires simulation, and skills need to be controlled and restrained to save a trump card.

Ahri was practicing her telekinesis and other skill combinations in her room when she saw her Beastmaster constantly sketching and drawing in a small notebook.

At 00:00 that night, in the Dream Training Room.

Lin Su first had Ali do a test, and after receiving the report, she gave clear instructions on how many times to practice each skill, with Xiao Tu helping to count.

The remaining time was spent customizing opponents based on the information of the upgraded pets for practical combat training.

As her usage time was about to end, Lin Su held up the newly generated report and said to her pet, "You worked hard tonight~"

Prolonged battles place high demands on a pet's stamina, and even with energy recharge, it's not something easily achieved.

It's the same principle as when you're not thirsty, hungry, or sleepy, but if class time is too long, you're still prone to getting irritable, daydreaming, or developing a dislike for school.

"Huanhuan~"

Ahri nestled in her Beastmaster's arms, yawned, and read the report with her.

The energy level is close to the maximum value of a beginner pet.

When the skill level of Crescent Prayer reaches perfection, the time required for energy recovery is almost negligible, and there is no need to worry about energy sustainability when facing intermediate-level pets.

The Scorching Sands skill deals the highest damage of all skills and also has a 60% chance of inflicting burn. Once you've mastered it, you're basically guaranteed to hit the target.

The newly learned spatial movement technique also skips the beginner stage and goes directly into the basics.

This data is already very competitive — Lin Su fell asleep with considerable satisfaction, leaning against the testing device.

June 12st, 9:30 AM.

Lin Su carried Ah Li and arrived at the arena early to sign in.

She was brought up with a wind chime as always.

Good morning.

Qin Minghao greeted them and sat down next to Lin Su, holding the Ice Spine Dragon.

He could see from a distance that the area was empty; after all, it was Monday, and most of the people who would come to watch the game in the morning were friends and family.

"Good morning." Lin Su couldn't help but glance at him. "You're dressed quite uniquely today."

The style just looks familiar.

"My cousin did it for me; she said it's all the rage now."

Qin Minghao tugged at his collar helplessly, then turned to look at a few boys in the audience dressed similarly to him: "Didn't you know there's an online popularity poll today?"

According to his cousin, with a little tidying up, he could get a free resurrection item, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of such a bargain.

"I know."

As Lin Su spoke, she glanced at the contestants who were surrounded by classmates or media not far away.

Online voting closes at 8 p.m., but the list of those who advanced includes not only internet celebrities but also those from the campus popularity rankings, so this chance for a comeback is probably out of the question.

The host quickly announced that the competition was about to begin.

On the big screen, photos of the 30 advancing pets were randomly arranged. As the photos were finally fixed, the groupings for the first 8 matches in the 30-to-15 round were arranged.

Next to the pet's photo is a label with the registration number and the tamer's name.

Lin Su looked at the blonde, blue-eyed girl in a long dress who was surrounded by a group of self-media people. Evelyn Young did not summon her pet.

"Please invite the first pair of players to the stage."

Lin Su picked up Ah Li and got up.

Surrounded by the stands, Lin Su felt a little nervous as she stood on the official fighting stage for the first time.

It's quite a strange feeling to be in the spotlight and be the center of attention.

She steadied herself, and the host's passionate introduction rang in her ears: "Evelyn Young, the only foreign contestant in this tournament, has gained millions of fans in less than a year after signing a contract with Bubble Fish Puff Young."

Lin Su, the youngest participant in this arena competition, is only 14 years old, and her contracted pet is a rare fairy-type beast.

After Evelyn went on stage, she smiled and waved to the audience, which drew cheers before she summoned her pet.

A white light appeared, and a pet beast with sharp horns on its head, a long wavy fish tail, and short limbs appeared in the star array.

Bubblefish, a beginner-level water-type pet, is mostly white except for its tail fin, which has striped red patterns. When swimming, its long tail fin flows gracefully like a dress. Because the bubbles it exhales change color with its mood, it is quite popular online.

As the two competitors took their positions on the field, the host finished his introductions: "—What kind of magnificent and elegant duel will these two bring us? Let's wait and see!"
