Chapter 519: Chapter 308: Screw It

"Alright, and we’re back after that commercial break! Thanks for sticking with us here on Livestream Channel 0301. I’m your commentator, Lu Dongjie! Let’s get back to the action in this third points match between Shanyou Province and Qiongtai Province. The current score is 2-to-0, which means Shanyou Province is at match point!

"On the stage now is Liu Yuhang from Huai City First Middle School with his Pet Beast, Xue Li, a Wave-Riding Duck! Facing him is Luo Xuancheng from Qiong University Affiliated Middle School, with his Pet Beast, Wave Trace, a Thorn Armor Dragon!

"After the initial probing, the intensity of this battle has rapidly escalated, reaching a fever pitch! The stage is being battered by towering waves—without an Elemental Perspective Device, you can’t even see what’s happening inside!

"Although Liu Yuhang’s Wave-Riding Duck has shown some incredible offensive power, the Thorn Armor Dragon is a Pet Beast known for its high Defense Power. It’s especially good at defending against these kinds of long-range attacks. Xue Li’s single-target Strong Attack capabilities aren’t absolute, so unless she finds a good opening for a Continuous Combo, it will be very difficult to..."

"Wait!"

Lu Dongjie shot up from his seat, his expression full of excitement.

"Xue Li has abandoned her ranged assault and is switching directly to close-quarters Fighting! We all know that Hao Waterfowl are famous for their fragile bodies, but it seems Xue Li, having evolved into a Wave-Riding Duck, is an exception...

"An Upper Hook! A left hook! And Xue Li finishes it with a Supreme Technique, hitting her opponent in an... unspeakable place! It’s a finishing blow!! Under Xue Li’s ferocious Fighting assault, the Thorn Armor Dragon goes down! The victory in this match goes to Shanyou Province!!!"

"OHHHH!" On screen, the crowd in the stands also rose to their feet, applauding. Some even let out cheers of indiscernible meaning.

The bullet comments also reached a crescendo, practically flooding the entire screen:

[Butterfly Fan Bone]: Whoa, she won with Fighting! Isn’t our baby Xue Li just the best?

[Day after Day]: I remember Xue Li showing off some impressive close-combat skills during the Huai City league matches...

[Golden Rare]: An archer that can’t melee isn’t a good Mage /smirk

[Annihilation]: LMAO, who could have seen that coming? If I were the Thorn Armor Dragon, I’d be totally confused too /crying-laughing

[Su Zhi’s Doggy]: That Thorn Armor Dragon was pretty slick, though. Its defensive angles were basically flawless. Xue Li launched so many Strong Attacks and couldn’t break through.

[Spectator114514]: You really think the Thorn Armor Dragon is a pushover? If you were that Thorn Armor Dragon, you’d be the one getting wrecked /smirk

[A Scum White Hair]: The opponent was strong, but we’re stronger! Su Zhi inspired everyone!

Seeing the livestream’s popularity continuously climbing and new viewers constantly pouring in, Lu Dongjie’s face broke into a wide smile.

Let alone a points match, even the top-eight knockout rounds might not get this much hype! Even if the numbers didn’t grow any further, just by maintaining this momentum, the top livestreaming spot this time would be his and his alone!

Lu Dongjie was now realizing that, just as that "A Scum White Hair" viewer had said, it wasn’t just Su Zhi whose fighting style was agile—even his teammates were more or less influenced by him, never sticking to a rigid formula in battle.

This style of fighting was risky, of course, but it made the Pet Beasts more well-rounded and flexible. On top of that, it raised the entertainment value by a whole level.

How could he not say Su Zhi was his lucky star!

Looking at the new payout from the Beast Taming lottery that had just hit his account, Lu Dongjie was moved beyond words. Why else would he go all-in on Su Zhi every time? It was a matter of faith!

’After this is over... I should try sending my resume to the Sparrow Gate Special Zone Championship!’

Lu Dongjie thought to himself.

That was the pinnacle of commercialized Beast Taming competitions, a place nearly every commentator dreamed of. Even if he could only commentate a single match, just to experience that prosperity while bathed in the city’s neon lights, he would have no regrets.

’I’ve been rejected three times in a row before... but this time, I have commentating for the national tournament as my foot in the door. This should be enough!’

Meanwhile, in another elegant room, a man in a white suit held a glass of red wine, watching the competition livestream with great interest.

The arms of the sofa were intricately carved, and from the packaging of the wine bottle on the table alone, one could tell it was priceless. The entire room had a golden, resplendent feel, as if to perfectly illustrate the very word "luxury."

After the livestream ended, the man rewound it and watched both of Su Zhi’s matches from today and yesterday again.

"This Beast Tamer... I like his style."

The man spoke. "He studies at Huai City First Middle School, correct?"

Behind him, a sharply dressed secretary immediately nodded in response. "Yes. His relationship with Cao Mingyu seems to be quite good."

"Oh, a friend of Xiaocao’s son... That makes things easier," the man said with a light smile.

"After this national tournament is over, you know what to do."

"Yes!"

Recruiting talented individuals far and wide had always been the style of Fengyun Company.

And at this national tournament, as the sole strategic corporate partner designated by the Common Defense Alliance, Fengyun Company naturally hadn’t sent a chairman just to observe the prowess of young Beast Tamers.

They had underwritten the enormous expenses for various aspects of the event; naturally, they hoped to reap a return several times over.

Whether one was a Beast Tamer or an ordinary person, or even... someone not quite accepted by mainstream society, as long as they had a single outstanding trait, they could realize their value here.

This was a clear sign that, in recent years, joining the Alliance was no longer the only option for young Beast Tamers.

At the end of last year, the Common Defense Alliance had publicly commended Fengyun Company as a model enterprise, thanking it for creating a large number of jobs and other socioeconomic value.

This certainly alleviated the culture of vicious internal competition, helping to inject new vitality into the entire Beast Taming industry.
