Moreover, it was he who found the hikers in the last mission. Only he knows where they were. He believes that this time, he can find them in the shortest possible time, and it won't affect tomorrow's competition.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang spoke again, "Report, I request to participate in the search and rescue mission."

"Li Xiang, what are you doing? Don't you want to win first place?"

"Yeah, your results are the best in the base, you are the most promising candidate to become the champion, you can't go."

His results have always been at the top of the base, surpassing everyone and he is a strong contender for the national competition champion.

It was unexpected for everyone that he would give up the competition to participate in the search and rescue. Everyone urged him not to go.

"I believe that no matter how well we train police dogs, their role is not just to compete in the arena. Their real field is to display their excellent skills in practice. Mountain search and rescue is the true stage for a champion. Our base has Zhao Dong and Ma Ji participating, and they will certainly bring back a good ranking."

"Alright, let's go."

The time was urgent, and the instructor didn't say much more. He respected Li Xiang's decision. Besides, having one more person is indeed having more strength.

"This area marked by the red dashed line is where the hikers might appear. In a while, we will split into groups of two to search the mountains. Keep your walkie-talkie open for communication. If you encounter any problems, contact the command center immediately. Don't be greedy for credit, don't take unnecessary risks, and don't act alone."

On the plane, the instructor issued tasks to them and organized the team. This time, Zhao Ye was partnered with Li Xiang again.

The sunset's afterglow illuminating the dusk sky was a breathtaking view, truly unique when seen from the airplane.

One hour later, the helicopter dropped them at the outskirts of Changling Mountain. After the instructor issued the search routes, Li Xiang led Zhao Ye along the familiar path to search the mountains.

"Li Bro, slow down, do you know where they are?"

Zhao Ye saw that Li Xiang seemed to have a direction and was moving very quickly. Both he and Tang Yuan struggled to keep up.

"I don't know, but let's hurry up. It's about to get dark, and it will be more difficult to search by then. Let's move further in while we can still see."

Li Xiang's excuse convinced Zhao Ye, and their search speed was significantly faster than the average person.

Knowing where the hikers were trapped, Li Xiang searched with purpose, naturally at a faster pace. Last time it took more than five hours to find them, but this time it took less than an hour.

They managed to find them before darkness set in.

"Champion is indeed the best police dog I've ever seen in all these years."

Everyone thought that the reason Li Xiang's group quickly found the trapped people was all due to Champion's merit.

But Li Xiang did not reveal the truth, or else how would he explain knowing their location?

Back at the base, Champion was in good condition. Li Xiang applied again with the instructor to participate in tomorrow's national competition, and the instructor happily agreed.

Early the next morning, Li Xiang set off with Zhao Dong, Ma Ji, and their respective beloved dogs, heading to the competition venue by bus.

After a six-hour journey, they finally arrived at the competition venue.

When they got there, many other contestants from various training bases were already present. At 2 PM, the competition officially began.

The competition uses a points system. Each project's judges score based on the police dog's performance and task completion, with ratings from 1 to 10. The final results are determined based on total scores.

In this police dog competition, there are ten subjects, including bloodstain search, explosive detection, tracking, drug searching, obedience, bite work, obstacle course, and hostage rescue, with a total score of 100 points. It covers many aspects of police dog technical work. There are fifty teams participating, divided into five groups, each group has ten teams, and each team has a judge scoring. The entire competition is of high standards and strict requirements.

Based on reality, close to real combat.

The competition begins.

With the referee's command, the national police dog competition officially started.

Li Xiang was in Group A, representing the base, the first to take the stage.

In the obedience section, within the specified time, complete all command actions of the instructor.

"Please get ready!"

"Sit."

"Good dog."

"Down."

"Good dog."

"Heel."

"Good dog."

With each of Li Xiang's commands, Champion perfectly completed all the instructed actions, finally reaching the score judging section:

"Champion, obedience section, scored 10 points."

In the explosive detection section, within the specified time, search through 45 bags to find the explosive sealed and packaged 12 hours before the assessment.

"Please get ready!"

"Search."

With Li Xiang's command, Champion leapt forward, rushing to the rows of boxes, searching for explosives.

Upon finding a suspicious item, it sat down to signal. The whole process was fluid.

"Explosive found. Champion, explosive detection section, scored 10 points."

In the bloodstain search section, within the specified time, the participating police dog needs to find the item placed covertly in a 100-square-meter outdoor area, with a drop (0.035 ml) of human blood.

"Please get ready!"

"Search."

"Bloodstain found. Champion, bloodstain search section, scored 10 points."

"Champion, obstacle course section, scored 10 points."

"Champion, hostage rescue section, scored 10 points."

...

As the events continued, Champion's performance gradually caught everyone's attention. Every competition it participated in drew many spectators, especially the other contestants. Champion's performance amazed them while arousing curiosity.

How could a police dog have such comprehensive abilities?

Most police dogs have specialized skills. Those good at search and rescue might not be skilled at overcoming obstacles. Those good at bloodstain searching might not be adept at hostage rescues.

But Champion perfectly completed all events.

It seemed like this competition was designed for Champion.

"Champion, after completing all the competition events, total score is 100 points."

When the judge announced Group A's competition results, Champion's perfect score stunned everyone.

Especially the contestants in Groups B, C, D, and E, who felt a bit disheartened.

How can we compete now?

They already locked in the champion ahead of time.

Sure enough, in the following competitions, the best score was only 93 points, a full 7 points behind Champion's perfect score.

Seeing Li Xiang and Champion ultimately win the championship, the base instructors were extremely happy. After so many years, someone from the base finally won the championship again, and it was with a perfect score, there's something to account for back at the base.

"I announce, the champion of this national police dog competition is: Champion!"

As the judge announced the competition results, the system's settlement also came promptly:

[Ding, main mission completion rate 100%, mission rating: S+ level, reward Skill Experience +3000.]

[Player completed 100% of the instance, pet training system unlocked.]
