Compared to Qiao Sang’s calm, Naideng’s mindset subtly began to falter.
After all, he was a somewhat reputable Beast Tamer, and to be continually defeated within seconds for two consecutive matches, what would others think of him?
If his opponent had been a Beast Tamer ranked higher than himself in the Pet Beast Arena Competition, he might have taken it a little better.
But his current adversary was clearly a fresh face, and moreover, a minor, which left him wondering where to put his face in the future.
Naideng could already hear the audience’s mocking laughter.
Indeed, there wasn’t much mockery; there were more scolding and swearing.
The audience, who had previously been relieved to have placed their bets at 3:1 odds, collectively broke down.
"What’s going on? Lost the second round in less than a minute, are they playing me?"
"Everyone knows that Pet Beast is of the Fire Element and Psychic Series, yet there was no preparation at all?"
"I’m so done! One round wasn’t enough, and the second is the same; how can someone like this rank 68th in the Pet Beast Arena Competition?!"
The venue echoed with curses.
The commentator, although also eager to express his astonishment with some inelegant catchphrases, managed to restrain himself with over a decade of professional composure.
"Qiao Sang has won again!" the commentator began excitedly: "I believe this match has surprised everyone! Qiao Sang first used Doppelganger to confound the Suction Beast, and then ended the battle with a Mystique Level Flame Tooth!"
"It was simply neat and decisive! Naideng was completely caught off guard the entire time!"
"However, this match also raises a question for me: Is Naideng too reliant on tools? If the Suction Beast didn’t have the Pet Beast Sensor Ring attached, would Naideng have been more cautious in the just-concluded match?"
Having said his piece, the commentator turned hopefully to his colleague Wang Xuezhi and asked:
"Miss Xuezhi, what do you think of this match?"
Wang Xuezhi leaned into the microphone and said, "Right now, I really want to know what that Pet Beast is called; the Pet Beast Identifier didn’t recognize it just now."
Even though Wang Xuezhi’s response had nothing to do with his question, the commentator was so moved he almost cried.
She spoke!
Finally, he was not performing a monologue!
And that remark caused a brief silence in the crowd, followed by an even greater uproar.
For a moment, everyone forgot their anger and focused their attention on the splendid Pet Beast.
"How could the Pet Beast Identifier not find it?"
"Impossible! Even if it’s a legendary Pet Beast, the Pet Beast Identifier should be able to recognize it!"
"Is Wang Xuezhi’s Pet Beast Identifier an old model?"
"She’s using the latest model from Quan Shi brand!" a fan familiar with Wang Xuezhi said.
Then, an audience member, with a look of astonishment, exclaimed, "My god! It really can’t be identified!"
The people around turned to look as the speaker aimed his Pet Beast Identifier at the red and white Pet Beast in the arena.
Upon seeing this, the crowd started pulling out their own Pet Beast Identifiers and began scanning.
Soon, everybody was stunned.
"Did yours identify it?"
"No... What about yours?"
"Mine neither..."
"Under what circumstance would the Pet Beast Identifier fail to recognize a Pet Beast?"
"This Pet Beast is unknown; it hasn’t been recorded by the Alliance yet!"
"How could there be a Pet Beast that the Alliance doesn’t know about!"
"There’s another possibility."
