How can mere mortals like us be compared to gods?

I wonder if Ming Shen will sign up? If she participates, this year's competition will be spectacular.

Mingxi had already signed up the moment the Dragonflower Country registration channel opened.

She not only registered for singles combat, which is the 'N choose 3' rule always used in the Starsea Cup competition, where both sides bring N pet beasts (6 is the base for this year) according to their strength, and decide on 3 to send out during the preparation phase.

She also signed up for the newly added doubles combat in the new Starsea Cup, which is a 2V2 mode where both Beast Tamers use ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) 2 pet beasts to fight simultaneously.

Originally, she even wanted to sign up for the team competition, which is the 5V5 team battle stipulated by the Starsea Cup, but she felt that juggling three fronts would make her too busy to even touch the ground.

If it were just her being busy, it wouldn't be a big problem, but due to the threat of the Descent and various overt and covert forces, several teams from the Jinhui Group needed to cooperate with her.

To avoid increasing their workload, Mingxi only chose the singles and doubles events.

The Starsea Cup is the most important grand event and competition of the Alliance, watched by all of humanity, and the registration period is only three days.

After three days, regional competitions will begin in various countries on different planets, determining the top 16 players from each region, which usually takes 7 days.

Then comes the national competition, which determines the top 32 players nationwide, also only lasting 7 days.

Only the top 32 players from the national competition truly secure their entry ticket to the Starsea Cup.

Therefore, the regional and national competitions are also known as the preparatory competitions for the Starsea Cup.

The true championship requires all contestants to gather in the host country for that year, and then proceed with preliminary rounds, rematches, resurrection rounds, group stages, semi-finals, and finals.

Typically, the entire Starsea Cup lasts for half a year.

Because it is an Alliance-level, inter-planetary competition, contestants from planets other than the host planet need a long time to reach the competition venue.

Some planetary contestants require two to three months just for travel.

Therefore, the timing of the preparatory competitions for the Starsea Cup varies among different countries.

Due to the new Starsea Cup being hosted by Xiao Li Country on Blue Star, all countries on Blue Star eligible to host preparatory competitions unanimously scheduled their preparatory competitions for July.

Meanwhile, contestants from other planets are already on their way to Blue Star.

"What? You're participating too?"

Mingxi almost spat out the strawberry boba milk tea she had just sipped.

Chu Kuangsheng scoffed coldly, "What? Can't I participate?"

...Of course you can, it's just a little bit of a surprise, after all, you've always been relatively low-key.

Don't let Chu Kuangsheng's arrogant personality fool you; he's actually genuinely low-key.

He's also a prodigy who achieved success at a young age, but compared to Mingxi's sensational, flourishing, and world-renowned fame, very few outsiders know Chu Kuangsheng's name.

Of course, this is related to him being born at the top of the pyramid; a prominent family like the Chu family doesn't need him to shine brightly.

Nor does he need to contend and fight like Mingxi to obtain more growth resources.

Of course, he also doesn't have Mingxi's dazzling and exaggerated battle record.

"This year is different, and I also need to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. The Starsea Cup is quite good for that."

His strength has been stuck at S-Class for over 5 years.

For many S-Class Beast Tamers, 5 years is but a blink of an eye, not even worth mentioning.

But for a peerless genius, 5 years is a bit too long.

Moreover, he is both honored and tragically has a student who is already an SS-Class Beast Master at 16.

Being outdone by his own student is truly hard to get over.

"Breaking through during the league? I think you're really getting ahead of yourself."

Chu Kuangsheng's physical fitness level has long reached SS-Class, but his brain development has been stuck at 79% for many years, and even though Mingxi supplied many good things that could improve brain development, it didn't help him smoothly pass the bottleneck period.

In fact, with Litrubang's strength, passing the Limit Tower SS-Class challenge shouldn't be a big problem; even with bad luck, it would just mean a few more trips to the Yushou Center.

But Chu Kuangsheng is a person with extremely strong principles; he believes that if his brain development hasn't reached 80%, he isn't a true SS-Class Beast Master.

So he has never gone for the upgrade challenge.

"What do you know?"

Chu Kuangsheng tapped her on the head.

"High-intensity, high-pressure combat against strong opponents can also stimulate the activity of a Beast Tamer's brain cells, catalyzing awakening.

In past Starsea Cups, especially in the most important semi-finals and finals, it's not uncommon for Beast Tamers to experience breakthroughs in brain development during command, and some even awaken on the spot during the competition."

Mingxi really didn't know that.

She knew about the Starsea Cup, but only understood its significance and standing in the Alliance.

However, she knew very little about the actual competition details.

After all, she had only been transmigrated for two years, and the Starsea Cup is held every four years.

She widened her eyes, "Awakening on the spot? That amazing?!"

"That's how amazing it is! That's truly like smoke rising from your ancestral grave, with all eighteen generations of ancestors exerting their strength; it's absolutely incredible."

Even as arrogant and unrestrained as he was, his tone carried unconcealed envy when he spoke of this matter!

He was truly a sour lemon.

Mingxi also silently felt a pang of envy.

Awakening in the Starsea Cup finals, broadcast live across the entire Alliance, witnessed by hundreds of billions of viewers—isn't that much cooler than her unceremonious awakening in the wilderness?

"Sigh! It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others."

Chu Kuangsheng: "..."

=_=

"You absolutely must not say that outside; you'll get beaten to death."

Anyone else has the right to say that, but not her, Xiao Xi, okay?

Mingxi shrugged.

Chu Kuangsheng rolled his eyes: "You're going to be my sparring partner during this period before the competition starts."

Sigh, it used to be him who sparred with Mingxi, pressing the little one so hard she couldn't even turn over.

But in less than two years, the situation has completely reversed.

How tragic!

"Okay."

Mingxi had no objections; it was a good opportunity for her to practice the rhythm and formations for doubles combat.

Chu Kuangsheng was definitely a good opponent.

"Boom—"

In a certain training ground of the Chu family, Litrubang was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into a giant pit.

A wounded pet beast, a shattered him!

"..."

Looking at his pet beast's pitiful state, Chu Kuangsheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He looked at Mingxi, who had a calm expression, "You really are a monster!"

In these three days, they had practiced from singles combat to doubles combat, not a hundred matches, but at least 50 or 60.

From initially having wins on both sides, it was now almost a one-sided defeat for him, defeat, and more defeat!

He didn't know if he had improved, but Mingxi's progress was visible to the naked eye.

Even though Chu Kuangsheng considered himself to have a firm resolve, this little one had stimulated him to the point where his Dao heart was almost collapsing.

She's not human!

She's bullying an honest person!

Mingxi rubbed the tip of her nose: "Ahem, Xue Qingting is relatively overpowered."

"Heh heh, are you sure it's just Xue Qingting? Which of your pet beasts isn't overpowered?"
