Chapter 180 The game begins!
By the time Lei Jun and his team returned, it was around 3 or 4 PM. Even with the help of the Beast God Temple, the summoning process still took some time.
Their seven companions summoned decent main summons, and Tima didn't waste their time, immediately signing contracts with them.
Even if they got home so quickly, it was still that time.
"Humph!"
When Yufei saw Lei Jun and the others return from outside, her lips were pouting so much they could hang two ounces of meat on them, giving them a look that said, "I'm very unhappy, aren't you going to come and coax me?"
Those grown men had never experienced anything like this before, and they frantically tried to comfort Yufei. A mischievous glint flashed in Yufei's eyes, indicating that she had missed the day they were supposed to summon their summoned beasts.
She wanted to see, and those flustered men, thinking that as long as Yufei was happy, what did it matter? Each of them eagerly brought out their main beasts to meet Yufei, like presenting a treasure.
Li Lanjuan knew, of course, that Yufei's anger was feigned; she was really teasing them. She herself was covering her mouth, laughing so hard she almost fell to the ground.
The summons I completed today went quite well; they were all incredibly powerful battle pets in this world.
The Sky-Piercing Azure Ox, the Four-Winged Lion-Tiger Beast, the Fierce Bird, the Dark Elf, the Red-Backed Neck Dragon (Water Element), the Flame Dog, and the Phantom Leopard all made their appearances before Yufei.
These seven individuals possess battle pets spanning land, sea, and air; while not necessarily the absolute best battle pets in this other world, they are certainly among the top tier.
Apart from the Dark Elf, a small, humanoid summon, the rest were all enormous, muscular creatures. The seven warriors who summoned them were extremely satisfied with them.
Men are naturally drawn to creatures with overwhelming power, and the warrior who summoned the dark spirit, who was primarily a scout and assassin, and somewhat thinner than his brothers, was extremely satisfied with the dark spirit he had summoned.
As expected of the most adorable battle pet, this elf-type pet immediately rubbed its face against its owner upon appearing, making both of them incredibly happy.
Today, all of them summoned their battle pets. When they returned, they also retrieved the battle pet food that Maiti had prepared for them, as well as the battle uniforms representing their Crimson City. Now everything is ready, and they are just waiting for tomorrow's competition.
They didn't set up their stall today; everyone decided to go to bed early and get plenty of rest, because they wanted to take even the preliminary rounds seriously.
The preliminary selection process also provided a good opportunity for those who were new to battle pets to hone their synergy with their summoned beasts.
It was tough on some people who were still stubbornly waiting in line at the night market for food. Of course, it wasn't that Yufei and her team stood them up; yesterday, they had repeatedly told customers that they wouldn't be setting up their stall for the next few days because they needed to focus on the competition.
However, a very few individuals still held onto a sliver of hope, fantasizing that the vendors might suddenly decide to set up their stalls and would do so. Undeterred, they went to the night market to wait for them.
I can't believe they actually kept their word and made money wherever they could! I'm so angry.
Finally! The highly anticipated pet battle competition has arrived! The entire city—no! It should be said that the entire world—has come alive.
Groups of people arrived at the designated battle zones with their battle pets to compete.
Yufei, Lei Jun, and the other 10 were divided into 5 different competition areas.
It seems Yufei and Mile are truly destined to be together; they weren't assigned to the same division as Lei Jun and the others, but they were assigned to the same division as Mile.
Miler was overjoyed and arrived at Yufei's place early in the morning, saying he wanted to take Yufei with him.
With Miler, a local, guiding Yufei, Lei Jun and the others felt more at ease. At least they wouldn't have to search for their respective competition zones like the rest of them.
After saying goodbye, Yufei followed Miler to the arena early in the morning.
Yufei bought some food nearby and ate it for breakfast. Of course, the concept of breakfast didn't exist in this other world.
Therefore, it doesn't have the rich breakfast culture of Da Xia. It just so happens that only Yufei, at this time, is eating here in the competition area.
The others... haven't arrived yet.
When Yufei and Miler arrived, they were the only two people in the competition area. They happily chose two of the best viewing spots in the huge stands, sat down, ate, and waited for the others to arrive.
They waited for about half an hour before people started entering. Soon the entire arena was packed; this circular arena could probably hold around 100,000 spectators.
Everyone who entered was incredibly excited, making the entire venue extremely noisy.
The crowd gradually quieted down as a vibrant, energetic young woman walked towards the center of the arena with a microphone. Then, she passionately addressed the audience.
Ahem~ It was really passionate when I started singing.
"Good morning, dear viewers and summoners! Welcome to this thrilling arena!!!"
What kind of amazing things will our summoners and summoned beasts bring us this year? It's truly something to look forward to!
Enough with the chit-chat! I hereby declare our quadrennial battle pet competition officially open!
As the young woman made her announcement, the entire venue erupted in cheers and applause.
It was also accompanied by some people holding cheering sticks and whistles.
He was still shouting
The fervent shouts of "Nami-san! I love you!" clearly came from a die-hard Nami fan. Migo excitedly told Yufei beside her.
Nami was the host just now; she has extremely high popularity in the Canghai Kingdom.
Her summoned beast, the Lord of the Azure Waves, is hailed as the most beautiful summoned beast. Although it didn't make it into the national team in the previous competition, it gained far more popularity than the national team members thanks to its impressive combat skills and dazzling fighting techniques.
After the national team members are selected, there will be an exhibition match, which should give you a chance to see Nami and her summoned beast perform.
That's all in the future. With Nami announcing the start of the competition, the preliminary rounds officially began.
The preliminary rounds were basically an event with participation from everyone, so Yufei couldn't say the quality of the competition was anything but high. Sometimes it was a battle of wits between novices, and other times it was an absolute crushing victory for one another.
Dozens of matches had already been played that morning, but not a single one had gotten Yufei excited, and it had successfully exhausted her.
Her matches with Miler were both in the afternoon, so Yufei had no choice but to force herself to stay awake until the afternoon matches.
Apart from her and Miler, Lei Jun and the others had already finished their competition that morning.
Although they had never used battle pets in combat before, their extensive combat experience as soldiers allowed them and their summoned beasts to quickly adapt to the pace of battle.
They were also quite lucky, not encountering any particularly strong summoners, and quickly won the match.
They came over in the afternoon to cheer on Yufei and her friend, making Yufei incredibly envious. They finished so early, while she had to wait until the afternoon! She wanted to go home and sleep!
In the afternoon, the first match was between Yufei and a lightning sable.
It is a summon beast primarily based on speed and lightning.
Yufei also summoned her summoned beast, the Black Cat. The Black Cat squinted and glanced at the Thunder Sable.
It went about licking its paws and fur, its tail twitching slightly behind it, completely disregarding the Thunder Sable.
