Dragon-type Pet Beasts had increasingly longer evolution cycles the further along they got.
No matter what kind of Dragon-type Pet Beast it was, evolving from intermediate to advanced required several years, even with top-tier talent and resources.
Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for an advanced Dragon-type Pet Beast to appear in the high school division of the National Campus Pet Beast League.
Unless one skipped the breeding process and directly contracted an advanced Dragon-type Pet Beast.
That was exactly what Zhao Chuanyu had done.
His Red Urgent Dragon had not been raised from a beginner Pet Beast, the Little Red Dragon. Instead, he had contracted the Red Urgent Dragon after it had already grown into an advanced Pet Beast, just one month after last year's National Campus Pet Beast League ended.
That immediately made him a strong contender for this year's Grade Three Section championship in the National Campus Pet Beast League.
After people dug deeper, everyone learned that Zhao Chuanyu had deliberately delayed contracting his second Pet Beast for the sake of the Red Urgent Dragon.
Competitors who could participate in the Grade Two Section of the National Campus Pet Beast League generally had two Pet Beasts, yet Zhao Chuanyu had competed with only one at the time.
As for why he had waited until the previous National Campus Pet Beast League ended before contracting the Red Urgent Dragon, there were roughly two theories online.

If he had contracted the Red Urgent Dragon too early, he would have exposed its strength during the Grade Two Section matches. Then, during the Grade Three Section competition, others could use the extensive battle data they had gathered beforehand to make highly targeted arrangements.
The second theory was
