My cells devour all worlds.

"Er Gouzi, is Lu Sheng in there?"

Zhuang Jinyao wanted to confirm this.

"Huh?"

Er Gouzi tilted his head, hopped along, and continued walking forward, finally stopping at the door of the No. 15 preparation room.

This time, before Zhuang Jinyao could even speak...

Faint sounds could be heard from inside: a gentle female voice, the cries of some unknown beast, and the sound of something running and scraping against the floor.

"Oh? Where did this kitten come from? It's so cute! Ah Bao, stop chasing it!"

"Come to me, little kitty, I won't hurt you."

"Wow~ Your eyes are golden, so beautiful! Let me hug you. Where did you come from? How did you get in here?"

"..."

Hearing the words coming from inside, Zhuang Jinyao was speechless; the situation didn't seem to match what she had expected.

She went up and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock~"

"Huh? Who is it?"

Inside the room, Jiang Ya turned her head in confusion. It wasn't her turn to play today; the match had just ended.

Jiang Ya carried Lu Sheng to the door and opened it.

Zhuang Jinyao and Zhuang Shang, along with their tamed beasts, appeared at the entrance.

Jiang Ya glanced at Zhuang Jinyao a few more times.

"You're... that contestant from earlier?"

Just as Jiang Ya was speaking, she noticed Zhuang Jinyao and Lu Sheng's gazes, looked down at them, and said with a start, "You're here to see him?"

"Uh-huh."

Zhuang Jinyao nodded. "Yes, he didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

As she spoke, Zhuang Jinyao reached out her hand to Lu Sheng: "Lu Sheng, why did you come here by yourself? I thought something had happened to you. Come back with us."

"No, I just found him myself. Is his name Lu Sheng? Why don't I sense any contract with him?"

Jiang Ya looked at Lu Sheng, expressing her doubt.

This name is too strange, and Lu Sheng doesn't have a contract mark on him.

Although some people may raise beasts without contracts, they generally feel more at ease with contracts.

Jiang Ya did not let go; if Lu Sheng responded, she would return it to Zhuang Jinyao.

Lu Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced sideways at Zhuang Jinyao; he had just finished collecting the materials.

"Meow~"

Lu Sheng responded lazily, left the warm embrace, and jumped onto Zhuang Jinyao's shoulder.

"It seems he really is your tamed beast."

Seeing this, Jiang Ya felt relieved and stopped doubting.

"I'm so sorry to bother you."

Zhuang Jinyao didn't explain anything, but apologized again.

"It's alright. I watched your match today. You were really good. We might be rivals later on." Jiang Ya smiled gently, her gaze sweeping over the group of beasts beside Zhuang Jinyao.

As she spoke, several of the beasts behind Jiang Ya popped their heads out.

The leader was a beast that seemed to be made of stone, its whole body was light red, and it glared at Er Gouzi and the other beasts with its head raised.

"Boom!"

The other beasts also spoke up, displaying their imposing presence.

"Aww~"

Er Gouzi's beasts, not to be outdone, glared back at him, meeting his challenge head-on.

"Thank you, I'll wait for you then, we'll be going now."

Zhuang Jinyao was now much more confident. She responded confidently and then left with Zhuang Shang and the group of beasts.

Back in his preparation room.

Zhuang Jinyao closed the door, thinking of Jiang Ya's inner thoughts, and tapped Lu Sheng's head with her finger, becoming increasingly suspicious, "Lu Sheng, you don't actually have some strange fetish, do you?"

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? What are you saying? You don't appreciate my good intentions. I'm going to... gather some information, okay?"

He was obviously there to gather materials.

With 32 master-level beast tamers from all over the country, there was no need for him to search everywhere. How could Lu Sheng resist?

In particular, many people still had fragmented information about it online. Lu Sheng checked the list, followed the clues, and went over them one by one, analyzing each one thoroughly.

He actually discovered a few interesting tamed beasts among them.

For example, Jiang Ya's exploding rock was a stone-type spirit beast, but Lu Sheng felt it was more like a piece of gunpowder that had come to life.

With the solidity of rock, he himself and every piece of rock that falls from him can be a powerful bomb.

True art is an explosion!

Lu Sheng really liked this ability.

"Really? What did you find out?" Zhuang Jinyao asked, her face showing curiosity.

She had already seen the contestants' information, but the information online was inconsistent, hard to distinguish between true and false, and some people's information was not available at all, and there could be significant changes in a year.

Therefore, it is not very useful as a reference.

Zhuang Shang also looked over curiously; it was indeed good to be able to learn some information in advance.

Lu Sheng's expression turned serious, and his tone became earnest: "Your opponents are either male or female. Their height ranges from one to three meters. They are either locals or from out of town. Moreover, they are all master-level beast tamers, and their beasts are all king-level beasts. If you face them, it's either win or lose..."

Zhuang Shang: "..."

???

Zhuang Jinyao's face immediately darkened; she had just been seriously considering Lu Sheng's words.

"Isn't that obvious? Do you really need to tell me that? You're just messing with me again."

Zhuang Jinyao gritted her teeth and grabbed Lu Sheng, "You weren't there to gather information at all. Shen Feifei may be a bad person, but she's right, you really are a lecherous cat."

"..."

What is the relationship between the perverted cat and Lu Sheng?

Lu Sheng's figure blurred and disappeared, then slowly reappeared on the sofa.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. With your current strength, just fight boldly and confidently. As long as you don't cause any trouble, the two promotion spots in this venue are yours."

After Zhuang Jinyao and the other two had been trained by him for so long, and Pang Hu's beasts had been optimized and upgraded several times after he analyzed the new materials, they were now Promax versions, which were incomparable to ordinary king-level beasts.

Even the connection between the two and their beast tamers gradually increased in the spiritual world.

Now, Zhuang Jinyao and her companion have reached a level of resonance with their beast tamers, so they are not afraid even if they encounter opponents who have mastered super evolution.

The other contestants in the venue were no match for the two.

Lu Sheng was still waiting to go to the final arena and reap a huge harvest.

The beast taming skills of the contestants who made it into the top 64 are obviously more worthy of analysis.

"Is that so?"

Zhuang Jinyao suspected that Lu Sheng was just trying to brush her off, but after today's competition, she realized that she was not weak.

The hardships I endured before were not in vain.

Zhuang Jinyao's confidence grew even stronger.

The day.

After the competition ended, staff organized the audience to leave the venue one by one, and the huge venue gradually became deserted.

Zhuang Jinyao and the others did not leave. There was a special area prepared for them by the alliance near the venue for the contestants to eat and rest without being disturbed. They did not need to compete with tourists from all over the world for hotel rooms.

That evening.

Not long after we finished eating.

Zhuang Jinyao had just returned to the rest area when she received a video call from Pu Yan.

Zhuang Jinyao called Zhuang Shang, and together they answered the phone. Pu Yan and Xia Tun appeared on the screen.

The two greeted the camera, saying, "Uncle Xia, Aunt Pu~"

"Xiao Yao, Xiao Shang."

Xia Tun leaned closer to the camera and couldn't help but ask, "Are you guys at the Gilgamesh venue right now? Did you all participate in the League Tournament?"

Even though he had seen Zhuang Jinyao compete on TV, he still felt it was a bit unreal.

"Yes, Uncle Xia, I'm sorry for keeping it from you all this time." Zhuang Jinyao nodded to Zhuang Shang, somewhat embarrassed.

"I knew Xiao Shang was participating too!"

Xia Tun looked excited and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, you have your own considerations, you don't need to tell us these things."

Suddenly, Xia Tun sighed, "If your dad knew, he would definitely..."

He had been following the other person since he was an apprentice, all the way until the Johor Bahru Dojo became an intermediate dojo, and he also witnessed the growth of Zhuang Jinyao and the other person.

It has been almost twenty years now, and the other person can be considered both a teacher and a friend to him.

Aunt Pu immediately patted Xia Tun, "Why are you saying all this?"

Xia Tun instantly realized what he had done, patted his mouth, and said, "My mistake, my mistake."

Zhuang Jinyao's eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure.

If her dad knew, he'd be so happy right now.

After catching up, Xia Tun brought up the matter of the dojo.

"By the way, there's something else at the dojo that you need to decide. As your reputation spreads, our Xinshan dojo will probably be quite busy from now on. We'll need to add some manpower. Master Huang from Huangqiu dojo is willing to bring people to assist us. Xiaoyao, what do you think we should do?"

"Also, someone from the Alliance government contacted me to see if we need to expand the gym in advance to prepare for your return."

"Then came various business collaborations, and many more pet food brands wanted to partner with our dojo..."

Zhuang Jinyao thought for a moment, "As long as it's beneficial to the dojo's development, Uncle Xia, you and Aunt Pu can make the decision. We can't come back for the time being. As for the business partnership, as long as Uncle Yuan's brand is safe, we'll mainly promote Uncle Yuan's..."
