"Junior, can I go with you?"

Fu Yifan looked at Mingxi with a hopeful expression.

He genuinely wanted to see it; after all, Phantom Color Keys were already rare, and opening a 'blind box' was practically a legend.

Anyway, in all his life, Mingxi was the only one he knew who had awakened a Phantom Color Key.

"Sure."

Mingxi didn't care; he could follow if he wanted, it wasn't like he could get into the Spirit Pact Chamber anyway.

"Then, about you helping me devise tactics?"

Although his Junior had clearly refused his financial support, Fu Yifan hadn't given up on getting her to accept a red packet.

He genuinely wanted to achieve a good result.

Mingxi thought for a moment and finally agreed.

"Okay, but 10,000 red packets for winning one match is really too much. Let's make it 1,000 star coins per match, just a token amount."

Fu Yifan's request was different from the situation where the little fatty directly paid to clear the levels.

The former ultimately relied on his own strength.

For example, in Fu Yifan's match against Lin Yingluo, even if her tactical design was meticulous, if the Crimson Flame Tiger couldn't use the Fire Pillar skill, or its control over Fire Pillar wasn't precise enough, or it didn't have enough energy to defeat the opponent in one go, etc.

They would still lose.

Moreover, Fu Yifan's behavior was not considered cheating; in fact, it was quite common in this world.

Because almost every Professional Beastmaster these days would form an exclusive think tank and coaching team to help Beast Tamers with various tactical analyses.

It was completely different from match-fixing.

So Mingxi didn't need to have any psychological burden.

Drafting a few battle plans was not difficult for her.

So, why not?

Besides, the five pecks of rice required her to bend her waist.

Even if it wasn't for Second Baby, or to pay off debts, she still needed to prepare for entering the Mystic Ground in a few days.

She couldn't just go in empty-handed.

Limited by her identity as a poor student and a transmigrator, her grasp of common knowledge in this world, especially knowledge of Transcendent creatures, was very limited.

So she also needed to buy a pet beast identifier, so that when she encountered unfamiliar pet beasts in the Mystic Ground, she could get information immediately.

Don't say she hasn't even qualified yet and is already being unrealistic and overly ambitious.

If she couldn't even qualify from her group, Golden Yuanbao might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes earlier.

Seeing her agree, Fu Yifan was so excited he almost jumped three feet high, and immediately sent Mingxi the opponent information he had collected.

As for the thickness of the red packet, he would have the final say anyway.

Before 9 PM that night, Mingxi had organized about ten tactical plans and sent them to Fu Yifan in a bundled package.

Of course, she couldn't guarantee that Fu Yifan would win all of them in the end.

The situation on the competition field changes rapidly, and the information they currently had on the players was not necessarily comprehensive or accurate.

Just like no one knew that her Golden Yuanbao could use Thunderstorm until now.

Others would also try their best to hide a trick or two.

Especially for someone like Hua Lu, whose pet beast had just evolved to Advanced Level not long ago, there was too little information exposed to the public.

Therefore, pre-match tactics were just predictions; they could only increase the chances of winning, but they didn't mean that Fu Yifan would definitely stand out among the crowd.

Ultimately, it still depended on Fu Yifan himself.

The next day, the group stage was in full swing.

Everyone in each group had to compete in seven matches today, so the charging and treatment rooms became the busiest places.

The morning matches went smoothly, Mingxi maintained her undefeated record, while Fu Yifan narrowly lost one match.

He ultimately lost to Hua Lu.

It wasn't that Mingxi's tactical arrangements had a problem.

It was still the same saying: the situation on the field changes rapidly, and the collected information was incomplete.

Hua Lu's pet beast, Explosive Mushroom, had not only learned the highly destructive Advanced Level skill Seed Machine Gun, but its skill proficiency was also not low, already reaching the introductory stage.

Fu Yifan's Crimson Flame Tiger was defeated by this move.

However, he could be considered to have lost with honor, as he was the first person to successfully force Hua Lu to reveal Explosive Mushroom's trump card.

In the afternoon.

Mingxi met her strongest opponent in Group C, Rui Qianwu.

The seeded player, Rui Qianwu.

Mingxi and Rui Qianwu each took their positions at the command stand.

Rui Qianwu was a beautiful and imposing girl who attended Tide Beast High School, which had the best teaching staff in Han Ning City.

Not long ago, she represented Tide Beast High School in the National High School Beast Taming League, winning first place in the provincial competition for the high school first-year group and fourth place in the Jianghuai regional competition, achieving excellent results.

Although she ultimately fell short before the national top 32, achieving such good results in her first large-scale national competition was already quite impressive.

Her future was limitless.

Therefore, Rui Qianwu was definitely a seeded player among seeded players.

A hot favorite for the championship.

Her pet beast was the Advanced Level pet beast, Saisaimoka.

Saisaimoka, full name Si Saimoka Dragon, a dual-attribute Transcendent creature of Dragon and Flight, evolved from the beginner pet beast Arikalon.

Arikalon was also an extremely rare species among Dragon-type pet beasts.

An Arikalon pet beast egg with unknown talent was worth over 3 million star coins.

Clearly, it was a 'sacred domain' that only the wealthy dared to profane.

The referee had already blown the short whistle.

Mingxi and Rui Qianwu immediately summoned their respective pet beasts.

Mingxi also clearly saw the full appearance of the Si Saimoka Dragon.

It was over four meters long, with a pair of exaggerated horns on its head, skin as rough and mottled as old tree bark, and its back and tail covered with bulging lumps of flesh. Its bony, fleshy wings spread out, somewhat resembling bat wings.

Mingxi only felt a sharp pain in her eyes.

Indeed, it wasn't about being right, but about being expensive.

The Si Saimoka Dragon's terrifying appearance, ugly enough to make one's eyes ache, could actually make so many Beast Tamers flock to it.

Unfathomable, truly unfathomable.

The Dragon-type Transcendent creatures in this world were quite similar in appearance to the Western dragons from her previous life's legends; they were generally so ugly that it was hard to describe.

And it was said that the Si Saimoka Dragon was even considered the most attractive among Dragon-types.

This?

The most attractive?

Mingxi could hardly imagine how ugly other Dragon-type Transcendent creatures must be, to the point of utter collapse.

Of course, Mingxi wasn't unable to understand the thoughts of the Beast Tamers in this world.

The principle of the strong being revered was the same everywhere.

What's so bad about being ugly?

As long as one is strong, even someone as ugly as Okada Manly can pursue a beautiful girl like Rinko.

And Dragon-type Transcendent creatures were definitely the top fighter jets among all Transcendent creatures!

Moreover, Dragon-type pet beasts were the only kind of Transcendent /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ creature that inevitably came with a secondary attribute.

Meaning, any Dragon-type pet beast would definitely have another attribute.

For example, the Si Saimoka Dragon was also of the Flight type.

As a child of China, who hasn't dreamed of one day becoming a Dragon Knight?

Mingxi, of course, had thought about it too.

But definitely not with this kind of dragon.

She was very loyal; she only liked Eastern Divine Dragons.

While Mingxi spent 0.5 seconds disliking the appearance of someone else's pet beast, the opponent had already launched an attack.

"Dragon Breath."

Dragon Breath, also known as Dragon's Breath, was a relatively special skill.
