Haicheng Pet Beast Battle Arena.
Brilliant fireworks kept blooming across the night sky, so spectacular it was as though they were inviting the entire city to enjoy the feast of fireworks.
The ground of the entire battle arena had split open from the center to both sides, turning into a blue Water Field.
Over a hundred varieties of Water-type Pet Beasts Qiao Sang had never seen continuously shifted formations within it, performing skills as part of the show.
"What were the rewards for first place in previous Regional Tournaments?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
"Don't ask me." Xu Yixuan sighed. "I've never stayed until the Regional Tournament award ceremony even once."

"Yeah, it's my first time seeing it too," Xu Yixuan said wistfully.
Qiao Sang fell silent.
Not far away, several team-leading teachers from other regions enthusiastically discussed how to train students while openly and subtly probing Sun Boyi about Qiao Sang's usual training regimen.
Whenever the conversation reached that point, Sun Boyi merely smiled without saying anything.
Before long, the lights changed.
The performing Water-type Pet Beasts dove down and vanished beneath the water's surface.
The next second, a huge awards platform slowly rose from the water.
Immediately afterward, a thin film like the surface layer of a bubble spread evenly across the entire Water Field.
Yi Ao stepped onto a blue platform, descended to a position about half a meter above the field, then jumped down, landing firmly atop the film.
From a distance, it looked as though he were standing on water.
Holding a microphone, he announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen! The award ceremony now begins! First, let us welcome the third-place winner
