Chapter 326: The Platform Crashed
Thank you @Rudy for the Ko-fi!!!????

The healing soundwave's effect was to restore a calm state of mind, not to make one foolish.
Facing the sudden attack, the Blaze Dog knew how to respond.
It raised its head calmly and opened its mouth, intending to unleash a jet of flames.
However, due to its overly peaceful mindset, its movements slowed down by multiple times.
Before the flames could be fired, Lubao's attack had already landed.
Boom!!!
The Blaze Dog, hit squarely, flew back several meters, rolling over multiple times before coming to a stop.
"Yap..."
Before losing consciousness, the Blaze Dog drowsily thought:
Oh, I've been hit...
Ah, I lost...
Watching the Blaze Dog fly backward and finally faint, Xu Yixuan thought calmly: It's over.
Tweet!
At that moment, the whistle signaling the end of the match rang out.
Xu Yixuan snapped back to reality, her face changing dramatically as she saw the peacefully unconscious Blaze Dog. She cried out in grief:
“Fire Lord!”
In the stands, the audience seemed to awaken as well, gradually returning to their normal states, and the sound of chatter filled the air.
“What the heck just happened to me? Was I enchanted?!”
“Same here! I didn’t even feel like screaming for Ice Qiya just now!”
“Yeah, me neither!”
“How did Xu Yixuan lose?!”
“It’s the healing soundwave.” A short-haired woman sitting among the front-row leaders explained.
“That endangered pet beast’s healing soundwave is highly proficient. It even affected us over here.”
“The Blaze Dog didn’t lose unjustly. Battles require constant vigilance and preparedness.” A man beside her added.
“Fire-type pet beasts are naturally spirited, but the healing soundwave dulled that spirit, relaxed its alertness, and slowed its reaction time.”
“It also influenced its Beast Tamer.” The short-haired woman remarked.
“What’s your take on this?” The man asked seriously. This Qiao Sang’s capabilities far exceeded that of a regular high schooler. Not only did she have more pet beasts than others, but each was extraordinary. Without surprises, she would definitely secure a spot in the divisional finals.
The short-haired woman kept her gaze on Lubao. After a pause, she replied:
“I want to pet it.”
The man: ???

The National Campus Beast Mastering League was being live-streamed on the official platform.
Since it was still early in the competition, with numerous contestants and matches happening simultaneously across different grades, viewers had to
“Guess what? A brat tamed an endangered pet beast!”
“Go watch now! An endangered pet beast is live in action!”
“Wait! Which platform? You didn’t tell me!”
The news spread exponentially, and the number of viewers on the official platform skyrocketed.
It wasn’t long before the inevitable happened.
The platform crashed.

At Huicheng Beast Taming High School, those watching the matches in person remained oblivious to the chaos online.
At that moment, Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan had already entered their second match.
On the field:
“Yinyin.” Xu Yixuan called.
The ghostly pet beast, with its dark green body, one large red eye, and a ring of white bones as decoration, made a sound and vanished.
Dream Phantom: A ghost-type pet beast with a dream-inducing ability. Staring into its eye for more than two seconds would drag opponents into a dream realm.
Qiao Sang recalled a forum post analyzing the top contenders in the senior division. Though it had malicious intentions, it saved her a lot of time.
“Lubao.” she said softly.
Lubao scanned her surroundings warily. Her cold demeanor made it appear as if she were merely glancing casually.
“Will-o’-the-wisp!” Xu Yixuan made the first move.
Though Dream Phantom remained unseen, a dozen ghostly green flames appeared around Lubao, forming a ring before rapidly closing in.
