: Formation

After the host's pre-match pep talk, which contained little practical value and was entirely emotional, Qin Ming's drowsiness ended rather abruptly, or rather, he forced himself to become much more awake.

As for what Zheng Wenjie said earlier, considering his penchant for slacking off, it probably wasn't anything important, so let's just let it go.

Qin Ming looked at the many spirit beasts present. Some of the smaller spirit beasts were left outside by the spirit masters to follow them.

Many of these spirit beasts will become his opponents in the same competition, and the highly competitive Qin Ming is secretly observing them carefully.

Because young spirit beasts are usually more dependent on their spirit masters, it's best not to keep them in the spirit master's space for too long.

At the same time, young children who haven't seen much of the world tend to enjoy watching the excitement outside, like Keda.

Mature and steady spirit beasts are either too large to be suitable, or they are too calm and have little interest in the similar pre-match scenes, such as the giant snake.

Therefore, every spirit beast that Qin Ming could see was worth his attention.

Hey, you little clam, where are your eyes? How do you observe the outside world? Qin Ming was a little curious.

And hey, water salamander, if you're being coerced, just blink. Your eyes look so empty and helpless!

Qin Ming was quite pleased with himself as he enjoyed the sight.

He suddenly felt a vibrant personality unique to each of the different spirit beasts that the words in textbooks could not convey.

It's like some spirit beasts are more laid-back and don't have much of a fighting spirit.

Speaking of which, isn't it a bit unfair to make some spirit beasts that prefer to be active at night compete in broad daylight?

Some aquatic creatures, even though they can survive on land, might be nearsighted.

Qin Ming's train of thought began to veer off course.

However, what a Spirit Master needs to do is to make good use of these characteristics.

No spirit beast is absolutely perfect. What a spirit master needs to do is to use tactics and wisdom to maximize its strengths and minimize its weaknesses.

Besides the obvious attribute advantage/disadvantage table, spirit beasts with poor eyesight have a natural and very good resistance to visual illusions.

At the same time, their senses are extremely sharp, and they can detect even the slightest movement of the wind or grass.

Some more laid-back spirit beasts that don't like fighting often have their own unique skills.

Even their combat potential, which can be unleashed at certain times, is quite terrifying.

There is a rare mythical beast nicknamed "King of Sleep" that is awake for only half an hour out of 24 hours a day.

But he has a terrible temper when he wakes up. Just how bad?

In a sense, he could be described as invincible in one-on-one combat.

It is said that as long as you can't kill him instantly, but wake him up, the person or beast that wakes him will be gone...

However, these mythical beasts often starve themselves to death in the wild because they love to sleep, making them extremely rare.

Even if they happen to meet one, the Spirit Master is a negative factor that affects their sleep, making it difficult to complete the contract.

Qin Ming estimated that such a rare spirit beast would not appear in the room, otherwise the data would be a bit overpowered.

As he pondered and compared, the dry knowledge in the books gradually came alive in Qin Ming's mind.

The gains were truly substantial!

Most of the spirit beasts present were spirit pets that the group would later contract with. There might be some like Qin Ming who came to broaden their horizons, but they were definitely very few.

The quality of the spirit beasts was generally quite good; everything Qin Ming could see was a rare find.

Why does it feel like the chances of Keda winning the championship are a bit slim?

Qin Ming belatedly became nervous, but this nervousness was mixed with a bit of excitement and thrill.

Keda, are you ready?

"Gah!" Keda stretched out its wings, which hadn't molted yet, and waved them forward, striking a cool pose.

Excellent, that's the kind of momentum I wanted!

Qin Ming estimated that he would soon face a duel and had already started warming up.

In this competition, the lower-level groups will take the stage first. After the initial selection is completed, the higher-level groups will then proceed with their respective initial selections.

Finally, the winner of each group will be determined tomorrow.

This is also a common competition arrangement in the Lingwu Continent, with the main event being the best part.

Each group only had about 10 participants, making it a very small-scale exchange competition.

Soon, Qin Ming confirmed his opponent for the second round: Zhenqubei, an opponent with a high level but whose characteristics were not particularly effective against him.

Due to its limited skill slots, it will be quite difficult to deal with opponents with high attack and high mobility at this stage.

Judging from its name, Zhenqubei is not included in this list.

Qin Ming had just observed this spirit beast, but he couldn't find where its eyes were.

[Race Name: Zhenqubei]

Race Rank: Mid-Elite

Attribute: Water

Rating: 19

Normal energy level: 420 (average 361)

Skills: Water Bullet, Whirlpool, Mystic Armor

It's a spirit beast that leans towards control and strong defense, but whether it has any skills learned later in life is something a mobile phone can't detect.

Qin Ming had a general idea and began to communicate and exchange information with Keda.

After brainstorming with Keda for a few minutes, Qin Ming also recalled the comments and suggestions from Master Zheng yesterday.

After a long internal struggle, he finally made a difficult decision that was somewhat shameful for a Spirit Master—to let Keda fight freely.

After all, a spirit master should have faith in their spirit beast!

If Keda performs poorly, it shouldn't be a problem to take back command in time, right?

.........

"My name is Liu Mu, and I am your opponent in this match."

Perhaps Qin Ming spent a long time struggling with his thoughts, because when he stepped into the arena, his opponent was already waiting on the stage.

"I am Qin Ming." Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Qin Ming responded with a hint of anticipation.

"Your Black Water Duck looks quite cute." Liu Mu clearly saw that Ke Ke's level was not high, and his tone was rather casual.

"Gah~" Keda nodded in complete agreement.

Qin Ming: ...

No, Keda, you really need to brush up on your academic studies. Just reading "Die Lang Jin" won't allow you to understand the profound depth of the language!

They're clearly making fun of you. How can a friendly person praise their opponent for being cute during a match?

What's the use of being cute? Does it mean you'll seduce people to death?

However, Qin Ming didn't want to undermine Keda on stage, so he only planned to give Keda a good lesson when he got home.

"Alright, alright," the referee interrupted the two, "Friendship first, competition second!"

"Your friends are watching from up there, so give it your all and put on a spectacular show!"

Seeing that neither of them had any objections and had adjusted their mindset.

"Alright, let the battle begin!"

"Go, Zhenqubei!" The other party placed Zhenqubei on the stage and commanded with great momentum.

Although Qin Ming didn't intend to command the entire match, he still wanted to participate, so he immediately followed suit, "Go, Keda!"

"Gah~"

He can jump into the field, making him noticeably more agile than his opponent.
