Chapter 468: Chapter 438: The eting Chapter 468: Chapter 438: The eting “We are also speaking from the perspective of selecting talent,” the bald man said again:
“All participating students display exceptional talents in combat, and they spend most of their ti training their Pet Beasts for this competition.”
“What would others think if, after all the hardships to get here, they find themselves moved out of the arena with Spatial Movent before the battle even starts?”
A more refined middle-aged man in the video pushed up his gold-rimd glasses and slowly said:
“Using Spatial Movent to directly remove an opponent from the arena is exploiting a loophole in the rules, and if there’s a loophole, we should fix it.”
“Exactly,” a slightly younger man agreed: “The rules are ant to be optimized constantly, and selecting the strongest students is our purpose in holding the national campus Beast Taming competition.”
“Besides, we’re not banning the Skill of Spatial Movent itself, just the act of using Spatial Movent to remove an opponent from the field,” added the old man with graying hair.
“This rule definitely needs to be added; the reason it wasn’t there before is simply because we didn’t anticipate that a contestant would cultivate their Pet Beast’s Spatial Movent ability to such an extent.”
The other leaders kept silent, not offering any opinions for a while.
It seems like it’s 1 against 12, how to deal with this, verbal objections are probably futile… the middle-aged man with a double chin and sagging cheeks frowned.
At that mont, a gentle female voice spoke up:
“I think Minister Zhou was right earlier, we can change the rules, but it should wait until the next competition. Otherwise, it appears rather targeted to change the rules imdiately after a contestant has just used this move.”
Minister Zhou was shocked.
He hadn’t expected the leader from the Ancient Mist Region to speak up for their contestant from the Yuhua Region.
Could it be because of Bingke Xilu?
As the most promising candidate for the championship from the Yuhua region, Minister Zhou was very familiar with Qiao Sang.
The woman continued:
“Spatial Movent isn’t a Skill that ensures a hundred percent success rate just by looking at it. The contestant succeeded because, firstly, the opponent was within the range that the Treasure-seeking Demon could execute Spatial Movent. They failed to maintain a safe distance, and secondly, the opponent didn’t anticipate this move and therefore was almost completely unguarded. Otherwise, with the spiritual power and energy of Jihui Tata being one Mystique Level higher, they could have disrupted the Treasure-seeking Demon’s ability to lock onto coordinates with ntal interference, as well as mounted a psychic defense to block Spatial Movent.”
“Moreover, according to the information, this was the first ti the contestant used Spatial Movent to remove an opponent from the arena.”
“After all, the Treasure-seeking Demon is just a mid-level Pet Beast, and the national competition mainly focuses on High Level Pet Beasts. As long as the contestants are aware of this situation in advance and prepare accordingly, I believe with their talent, they will co up with the appropriate strategies.”
Listening to this, Minister Zhou’s eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly, saying:
“Well said!”
After the outburst, he seed to realize the impropriety and quietly sat down again under everyone’s gaze.
“Isn’t the Treasure-seeking Demon a Spectral-type Pet?” a lancholic-looking middle-aged man who had been silent until this point asked, as if the conversation had struck a chord of interest.
“That contestant’s Treasure-seeking Demon has Psychic Series attributes,” the bald man replied.
Apart from Minister Zhou of the Yuhua Region, Minister Lan of the Ancient Mist Region, and the bald man from the Xilü Area, Minister Zhang, the rest of the leaders were startled, evidently hearing this news for the first ti.
The eting had been convened in such a hurry that they had only received the news that a contestant from the Yuhua Region used Spatial Movent to move their opponent out of the arena, with no further details.
The individuals present were leaders from the highest echelons of authority in their respective regions, usually too busy for daily matters, much less to understand every contestant in detail.
They would perhaps recognize so contestants when it cos to the national competition.
To rember them one needs to make a notable impression in the national competition; otherwise, even the runner-ups might be forgotten after so ti.
After all, the national campus Beast Taming competition isn’t just about individual combat; there are also team battles as well as individual and team coordination competitions.
Besides the most outstanding one, it’s really difficult for others to attract attention.
The lancholic middle-aged man pondered for a few seconds before expressing his opinion:
“Being able to cultivate a Spectral-type Pet’s Spatial Movent to this level is also a part of one’s strength. Since we are selecting the most powerful contestants, I don’t think we should limit their opportunities to exhibit their strength.”
Minister Zhou quickly said: “I think Minister Yang makes a lot of sense!”
He hadn’t expected Minister Yang to also speak in favor of their contestant from the Yuhua Region, but after giving it so thought, it wasn’t surprising.
Minister Yang was a leader from the Zitiya Region.
And as everyone knew, the Zitiya Region was the only one out of the thirteen regions where Spectral-type Pet Beasts were popular.
The people there have a unique fondness for Spectral-type Pets, and since there were no popular candidates for the championship from the Zitiya Region, adding this rule or not wouldn’t have much impact on them.
“You can’t say that,” the bald man frowned and said,
“Spatial Movent is different from other skills. This practice of winning without fighting must be banned. Otherwise, once this example is set, what will happen if everyone starts contracting Psychic Series Pet Beasts and only focuses on mastering this move?”
“As far as I know, this contestant from the Yuhua Region is only 15 years old and has already developed three pages of the Beast Taming Codex. Currently, she has two High Level Pet Beasts and one mid-tier Pet Beast.”
“One of them, a Fire Elent Beast called the Liaoxing Dog, has trained its Mars Rain to Mystique Level, and another, Bingke Xilu’s Ice Flower Seal, can blossom dozens of ice flowers. The Treasure-seeking Demon is probably the weakest of her three Pet Beasts.”
“Since she is so strong, limiting Spatial Movent will not cause any problems.”
“I highly acknowledge her talent and strength. She could certainly earn respect at the national competition by relying purely on her abilities, but if she continues to use Spatial Movent to directly remove her opponents from the arena, she will definitely face criticism.”
“If Minister Zhou genuinely has the best interest of your region’s contestant in mind, then you shouldn’t oppose adding this rule.”
The eting went quiet for a solid ten seconds.
Almost everyone struggled to control their facial expressions, revealing shock and astonishnt.
Could it be that such an abnormal contestant has appeared in this year’s National School Beast Taming Competition?
Minister Zhou, however, was purely reflecting on the words just spoken, feeling that Minister Zhang from the Xilü Area had made so valid points.
If Qiao Sang won the match by using Spatial Movent to directly remove her opponent from the play area, even if she ended up taking the championship, most people would probably doubt her legitimacy.
Yet if he agreed to limit the use of Spatial Movent, he couldn’t help but feel reluctant.
After all, the only contestant capable of mastering Spatial Movent to such a degree is from their Yuhua Region…
In the silence that couldn’t be quieter, the leader from the Zhongkong Region, Minister Yan, finally spoke up:
“What is this student’s na?”
Minister Zhou gathered his thoughts and respectfully answered, “Her na is Qiao Sang.”
There are differences even among ministers.
The Zhongkong Region is the central area of Dragon Country, with the Imperial Capital established there, and officials of the sa position from Zhongkong Region have the highest administrative rank.
Minister Yan inquired, “How are her academic grades usually?”
Not great… Minister Zhou thought about it and chose his words carefully, “Decent, she got into the best high school in their city.”
Minister Yan pondered for a mont, his expression steady as he said,
“Alright, go and make contact. Ask this student nad Qiao Sang not to use Spatial Movent to directly transfer her opponents out of the arena during the national competition.”
“If she manages to achieve one of the top two positions in the national competition, I’ll take charge and offer her an Intergalactic Exchange Student position, as well as arrange for her to join the special top class of high school seniors there, and declare her eligible to apply to university alongside this year’s high school seniors.”
Although Qiao Sang was participating in the senior high school section of the National School Beast Taming Competition, she was just 15 years old, a freshman.
According to the rules, a freshman who earns an Intergalactic Exchange Student spot in the senior section should continue with their beast taming training along with the seniors, but they are still required to attend freshman classes in their academic studies.
Which ans, even if she won a special opportunity to attend a top school, she would still have to wait until her senior year to apply.
But now, with Minister Yan’s words, Qiao Sang had the opportunity to be treated as a current high school graduate, entering university two years early.
Ah? What? Qiao Sang getting into the special elite senior class of an Intergalactic Exchange School? Can her grades even keep up?
Minister Zhou was stunned for a good while before finally nodding his head,
“Okay, I’ll make contact.”
“As for this rule,” Minister Yan continued unhurriedly. “We will officially announce it at the next year’s National School Beast Taming Competition.”
The dozen or so ministers from various regions did not speak, which was taken as their tacit agreent.
They knew that as long as Minister Zhou went to talk to Qiao Sang, she would agree to anything, no matter what perspective it ca from.
No student could refuse the offer to graduate two years early.
Minister Yan declared,
“Since no one objects.”
“eting adjourned!”
PS: The second chapter might be late, everyone go to sleep first!
