The shock filled everyone’s expressions, their pupils, and even every strand of their hair.
Just a second ago, they were worried about how much pain Ice Qiya might be in from being struck by so many ice spikes. Yet, the next second, it was enveloped in the light of evolution!
Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
Although the Ice Qiya species was rare, it was well-known to the people of the Guwu region.
They were somewhat familiar with the conditions required for its evolution at each stage.
For Ice Qiya to evolve into the advanced pet beast Ice Xilu, it had to feel an unprecedented level of happiness during a snowfall.
So... was Ice Qiya just happy? And not just happy, but unprecedentedly happy?
The audience was dumbfounded.There was no doubt that the radiance before their eyes was the light of evolution. Could Ice Qiya really have felt so happy while being bombarded by ice spikes that it evolved?
The sheer absurdity of this revelation left the people of the Guwu region stunned.

On the battlefield, the dazzling white light faded away, revealing a majestic pet beast.
It was over three meters tall, its body primarily a sapphire blue, covered in shimmering scales. Its head was adorned with a white crystalline ornament, and a white, spherical gem gleamed on its forehead.
Its four legs ended in white-tipped claws, and its long, scaled tail bore purple stripes. The tail fin at its very tip was composed entirely of water. A mysterious aura surrounded it.
For a few seconds, the entire arena fell silent. Then, the crowd erupted.
“Ice Xilu! Ice Xilu!”
“Mom! I’m seeing Ice Xilu with my own eyes in this lifetime!”
“Ahhh! I never dreamed I’d witness Ice Xilu’s evolution in person!”
“I get it now! I finally understand! Qiao Sang sent out Ice Qiya to fight the Ice Sea Lion just to trigger its evolution!”
“Oh my god! I knew it! Why else would Qiao Sang use Ice Qiya knowing they were bound to lose? It was all part of the plan to evolve it!”
“Qiao Sang is a born beast tamer! How could anyone understand their pet so well?!”
“This Ice Qiya has some peculiar preferences! No wonder it was smiling so happily while being attacked by ice spikes earlier! Now it all makes sense!”
In the ninth row of the C-section, a middle-aged man in a black hoodie froze for a long moment before breaking out of his daze. He exclaimed, enlightened:
“I was wrong. I never considered making Ice Qiya happy in this way. Each Ice Qiya has its own personality, and this one is clearly a masochist!” (T/n: 😆😆😆)
Next to him, a refined young man immediately flattered, “As expected of Dr. Jiang. I never would have thought of that!”

Meanwhile, the conversations in the competitors' area were of a very different tone.
After their initial shock, everyone felt a heavy weight settle on their hearts.
“With this new pet, does Qiao Sang now have two advanced pet beasts…?”
“That’s terrifying… According to the records, Qiao Sang is only 15 years old…”
“God Ya wasn’t this impressive at 15…”
“Are you seriously comparing God Ya to Qiao Sang? That’s crazy! Plenty of beast tamers start strong but falter later. How many can actually reach God Ya’s level? Let’s see if Qiao Sang can match God Ya at 18!”
“Do you think she’ll win this year’s National Campus Beast Mastering Leangue?”
“Don’t say something so scary…”
“But doesn’t someone from the Zhongkong region also have two advanced pet beasts?”
“You mean Zhao Chuanyu? One of his pets was already advanced when he contracted it. Talent-wise, he’s no match for Qiao Sang.”
“Still, that pet is very obedient, so it’s essentially the same as one he raised himself. The strength is still there.”
“And what about Dan Yongchun from Dongjia? His ace pet usually defeats other advanced pets in under a minute. He’s a strong contender for the championship too.”
“If Qiao Sang really wins the championship, the third years of our region would lose face completely…”
The group fell silent.
The more they discussed it, the heavier the pressure became.

On the battlefield, the source of this immense pressure, Qiao Sang, was utterly baffled.
To be honest, as her experience and abilities had grown, it had been a long time since she felt this kind of confusion.
She had always thought that Lubao’s evolution conditions were too difficult to meet given her personality. She never expected it to happen so suddenly!
Lubao… was happy?
Why was she happy just now? Was it because she learned Ice Flower Seal?
That shouldn’t be it. While learning that move would excite Lubao, it shouldn’t make her happy enough to evolve!
Staring at Lubao, who now looked completely different, Qiao Sang felt like her brain was about to overheat from trying to figure it out.
“Lu.”
Sensing her trainer’s gaze, Lubao turned and called out.
Even her voice had changed... Qiao Sang shook off her thoughts, suppressing her shock and excitement. She turned her attention to the Ice Sea Lion.
Lubao was right, they could continue the match!
“Icy Wind!”
“Ice Spikes!”
Qiao Sang and Zhang Xueming shouted at the same time.
Interrupting a pet’s evolution during a match was a big no-no.
This was a competition, not a grudge match. Interrupting an evolution was seen as inhumane. With an audience present, even those who wanted to disrupt it wouldn’t dare.
---
Evolved?! How could it evolve now?! Zhang Xueming was undoubtedly the most distraught person in the arena.
She had thought she had won, only for her opponent to evolve on the spot?! This was a direct attack on her mental fortitude!
There were no words to describe Zhang Xueming’s feelings at this moment. If she had to choose one, it would be: F%!
Taking a deep breath, she waited for Ice Qiya’s evolution to finish before urgently issuing a command.
She couldn’t lose! No matter what, she couldn’t lose this match!
Hundreds of ice spikes materialized this time, far more than before. Facing its transformed opponent, the Ice Sea Lion’s expression turned deadly serious.
As the ice spikes appeared, Lubao opened her mouth.
The temperature around them dropped drastically, and a biting chill spread through the air.
When the Ice Spikes collided with the Icy Wind, they froze mid-air, a thin layer of ice forming over them before they clattered to the ground.
One wave of spikes was neutralized, but another was already on its way.
In an instant, hundreds more ice spikes materialized and shot forward mercilessly.
“Water Stream Jet!” Qiao Sang quickly issued her command.
Water Stream Jet was Lubao’s most proficient attack. In the past, its effectiveness had been limited by her small size.
But now… Looking at the three-meter-tall Lubao, Qiao Sang was brimming with confidence.
“Lu!”
Lubao roared, and a powerful stream of water enveloped her body.
In the next moment, she shot skyward before diving toward the Ice Sea Lion.
The massive Water Stream Jet shattered every ice spike in its path.
As Lubao closed in to within three meters of the Ice Sea Lion, Zhang Xueming’s expression turned frantic. She waved her hand and shouted:
“Frozen Touch."
