Chapter 101 went well, but I had bad luck.
"Hmm... Zhu Yanluo, facing the combined attack of five members of Lanzhiyuan's second team, unleashed a pink smoke bomb!"
On the battlefield, the pink light was so thick it was almost impossible to disperse, and the sweet pink color surged in all directions like a tide, swallowing up the entire battle area in the blink of an eye.
Bao Xiaoxing stared at the screen for a long time, only to find that he couldn't understand what was happening on the field at all.
She had no idea who Zhu Yanluo's Dreamy Loulan was, and she'd never even heard of its pink smoke skill. She racked her brains trying to recall her pitiful knowledge, but couldn't remember a single word.
Oh well, I can't understand it anyway, so I'll just say whatever comes to mind.
Bao Xiaoxing made a snap decision and completely let loose.
"The fog is so thick! The contestants and their pets are completely swallowed up... We can't see anything at all!"
She was explaining aloud, but inwardly she was groaning.
Next time, I must find a knowledgeable technical advisor to partner with, otherwise, if there are a few more matches of this level, she will lose face throughout the entire Federation sooner or later.
But that's all for the future; right now, she has to get through this alone.
"How intriguing! What could possibly happen beneath this pink mist? Based on my years of experience taming beasts, this color and texture really resemble those abnormal status skills that can greatly enhance physical sensitivity!"
"If I could just take a puff of that, tsk tsk tsk—"
Before the words were even finished, the 300,000-seat audience erupted in chaos.
"Seriously, do you even know how to do commentary? If you can't, can't you just find someone else?"
"Are the bar for commentary this low these days? They don't recognize the pets, they've never seen the skills before, and all they do is spout nonsense. How can they even get on stage?"
"What do you mean by 'enhancing body sensitivity'? Is that something a proper commentator should say?"
"I could do that myself!"
"Come on, you should at least have some self-respect. The way she's explaining it, it seems even Lao Feng has no shame!"
"..."
Not only at the scene, but also in the live stream's bullet comments section, a deluge of complaints flooded through the chat.
With 300,000 offline viewers and nearly 10 billion online viewers, they are all cursing Bao Xiaoxing's ancestors for eighteen generations.
On the VIP platform, Bao Yunxing listened to his daughter's nonsensical commentary in front of billions of viewers. His forehead veins throbbed, and he gritted his teeth, nearly grinding them to powder: "That bastard! I knew letting her do the commentary would lead to nothing good!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she had cursed herself as well when she was cursing others, and her face immediately turned even uglier.
She now deeply regrets her actions. How could she have been so bewitched and half-heartedly agreed when Bao Xiaoxing relentlessly begged her for a commentary spot?
At the time, I thought it was just a competition, and it wouldn't be a big deal to give my daughter a chance to show her face. She could also get to know these star players, which would be great.
Who would have thought this brat could be this outrageous? It's like she's been rubbing her face in the ground.
"You don't need to blame her too much."
Seeing that Bao Yunxing's face was flushed, Manzhu, who hadn't said much, gently advised him in a calm tone: "Honestly, even we, the Duke and the Four Marquises, are seeing this pet for the first time. To be honest, I don't recognize this skill either."
"It's normal that your daughter doesn't understand."
"I'm afraid there isn't a single beast tamer in the entire Yue Lanzhou who can explain this battle."
She paused, then added, "You can't blame everything on your daughter just because she's not a good beast tamer."
Bao Yunxing opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Manzhu was telling the truth. Even the five nobles, let alone Bao Xiaoxing who was only a dabbler, had never heard of the name Kongxiang Loulan before today. Zhu Yanluo's pet beast was indeed quite rare.
But she just couldn't stand it.
Bao Yunxing snorted softly, placed his clenched fist on the armrest, and said no more.
In the commentary booth, Bao Xiaoxing naturally heard the boos and curses coming from the audience. She bit her lip, knowing she was in the wrong, but she really had no other choice. She couldn't very well stand up and say, "I'm sorry everyone, I really don't understand," could she?
Never mind, let's just get through this first.
At worst, we can find a technical consultant to provide commentary immediately after the competition.
Soon, the situation on the battlefield finally changed.
"Ah! The powdery mist has finally dissipated!"
Bao Xiaoxing felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and his voice rose several octaves.
The camera then cuts back to the battle area, where the pink mist slowly dissipates, revealing the scene inside—
The five members of the Blue Orchid Courtyard's second team and their pets lay sprawled on the ground, all of them incapacitated.
Zhu Yanluo remained unharmed, her posture upright like a pine tree. Only a wisp of pink smoke that had just dissipated from her fingertips proved that the one-sided battle had indeed taken place.
From beginning to end, no one saw the true form of the imagined Loulan.
The pet never revealed its true form to anyone.
The system's cold, analytical voice quickly announced: All five members of the Lanzhi Academy's second team are confirmed dead.
Bao Xiaoxing froze for a second, then slammed his hand on the table: "In this situation, Xiaoxing can only say one thing—Fairy of Illusions is awesome!"
Who cares about professionalism or not, just brag about it.
"Aomori Institute's top-tier player, Zhu Yanluo, single-handedly and effortlessly pulled off an astonishing comeback, defeating five opponents single-handedly!"
"Congratulations to Aomori Institution for winning this round of 16 match and advancing to the quarterfinals!"

The rest room at Lanzhiyuan.
On the live stream screen, the final settlement screen froze on Zhu Yanluo's avatar.
The MVP selection for this match was a foregone conclusion; I wish Yanluo a unanimous victory.
Although everyone knew before the match that the second team was likely to lose against a powerhouse like Aomoriin, no one expected them to lose so decisively and without any resistance.
They were evenly matched at first, with Lin Yueyao and her team even gaining the upper hand at one point, defeating the other four players from Aomori Institute.
But after Zhu Yanluo made her move, although no one knew exactly what happened beneath the thick pink fog, the result spoke for itself. It was almost exactly as Xue Youyou had predicted; anyone could see that the second team had been completely crushed.
Seeing Lin Yueyao and her team lose the match, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became awkward, and for a moment no one spoke.
This crushing defeat made everyone realize a cruel truth—
Everyone has made progress this year.
Last year's top-tier star player will only have even more unfathomable strength this year!
Moreover, the gap between ordinary elite beast tamers and the Ten Heavenly Kings is much greater than imagined. Even if the other party is only the Sixth Heavenly King, it is like an insurmountable mountain for Lin Yueyao and the others.
After a long silence, Su Wanrou spoke first, letting out a soft sigh: "I suddenly feel so much pressure. All the hopes of Lanzhi Courtyard are now resting on our shoulders."
Lu Yuan nodded, her expression grave: "I didn't expect the gap in strength between Lin Yueyao and the others and the powerful figures in the front row to be so large. From now on, I can only entrust the task to you."
She wasn't exactly heartbroken by the second team's loss; she felt more of a sense of regret.
She had naively dreamed that both teams could make it to the quarterfinals, achieving an unprecedented feat for Lanzhi Academy. Now it seems that the gap between the second team and the truly strong teams is much wider than she anticipated.
She needs to face reality.
As for Meng Yanqing, Cui Yelan, and Lu Yutang, their expressions didn't change much; they didn't even bother to blink.
They felt only hatred towards Lin Yueyao and Shen Yanqiu.
One was a poacher, the other a traitor; neither of them were good people.
Unlike Su Wanrou, the three of them had a surprisingly consistent attitude towards the traitor—die!
It would be better if we lost!
The thought that the students of Lanzhi Academy would have to place all their hopes on them made me feel inexplicably better.
Xue Youyou simply picked up her cup and took a sip of lemonade, letting her agitated mood gradually calm down, without saying a word.
She was itching to fight after watching that, wishing she could take Lin Yueyao's place.
Soon, Lin Yueyao and the others returned dejectedly.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Yuan spoke first, her tone encouraging: "Hold your heads high, you lost standing up! Facing such a formidable opponent, you still displayed the spirit of Lan Zhi Academy, pushing your opponents to the brink of elimination with only one person left—you're all excellent!"
Su Wanrou chimed in, "Yanqiu, it's such a pity, you guys almost won."
Xue Youyou chimed in, "It is indeed a pity."
Lu Yutang nodded: "The senior students did their best."
Meng Yanqing added expressionlessly, "You played well, but your luck was bad."
"..."
Everyone expressed their regret in turn.
Xie Jianchun listened in stunned silence, almost unable to contain herself.
How come you were saying there was a huge gap in strength behind my back just now, but now you're saying I "tried my best" and "almost won" to my face?
That's an incredibly fast change of expression.
