Tingbao froze for a moment upon hearing that, then realized something very serious and couldn't help calling out:
"Ting Ting?"
Would it have to compete by itself from now on?
"That's right." Qiao Sang said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? This competition can only be fought by the Pet Beasts themselves. Beast Tamers can't participate."
"Ting Ting?"
Tingbao panicked and called out.
Could Luobao accompany it during the competition, then?
"No." Qiao Sang said coldly, "Luobao needs training too. It has its own things to do."
"Ting Ting..."
Tingbao's eyes immediately went blank, as though it had heard dreadful news.
It couldn't imagine life in this weather without Luobao.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure thought Old Sixth was afraid to compete alone outside, so it thoughtfully called out, saying that since Luobao had no time to accompany it, its boss would go with it. It had Substitute, so it wouldn't be afraid of delaying its training.
"Ting Ting?"
Tingbao turned and called out.
Could you become cold?
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure shook its head.
Tingbao withdrew its gaze, its eyes blank once more.
"I know you're afraid of the heat." Qiao Sang smiled. "I'll leave you a cooling item, but you'll have to take it off during the competition. Let Little Treasure accompany you, and just leave it to Little Treasure when the time comes."
The competition guidelines contained far more information than what could be found online. One rule stated that no items or spirit patterns could be used during battle; otherwise, it would be considered a violation and result in an immediate loss.
Tingbao was young and couldn't read, so it really needed someone by its side. Qiao Sang had no time, and Little Treasure was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
"Ting Ting?"
Light returned to Tingbao's eyes as
