Chapter 1092: Grinding Dragon (two in one)

“Poison Ball.”

Poison Ball called out, and brown powder emanated from its body, rapidly spreading forward.

Xiaoting Dragon obediently held its breath.

The brown powder spread over its body, seemingly without any effect.

Guest area.

Fu Jian observed the scene in the arena and said, “Mushroom Spore is a very troublesome skill. Even if Xiaoting Dragon holds its breath and doesn’t inhale the Mushroom Spore, it will attach to the surface, causing mushrooms to grow on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.”

“That’s right.” Feodor echoed, “Although growing mushrooms won’t cause any physical harm, it will have a certain impact on speed, especially for Beginner Pets like Xiaoting Dragon, whose movement speed is already not fast.”

“Tie Tie.”

Tie Daoyi called out with a tone full of trust, indicating that he believed Yu Beast Master Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon would quickly respond.

While the guests were discussing, ink-green mushrooms with white circular spots grew on Xiaoting Dragon’s body at a visible speed.

By the semifinals, there weren weren’t many opponents left. Before participating in this round of the competition, Qiao Sang habitually introduced the situations of the other three contestants to Xiaoting Dragon. Therefore, Xiaoting Dragon wasn’t particularly flustered when it saw the mushrooms growing on its body. It merely frowned, revealing a displeased expression.

It didn’t like the feeling of mushrooms growing on its body.

“Discharge.” Qiao Sang gave the command.

Without a word, Xiaoting Dragon emitted yellow electric arcs from its body.

These bolts of lightning power instantly pulverized all the mushrooms on its body.

“Fly Leaf Knife.” Wang Ruchu said.

Poison Ball shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves swept towards Xiaoting Dragon.

Xiaoting Dragon dispelled the electric arcs on its body and moved quickly to dodge.

Although its movement speed was not fast, under the training with Steel Treasure during this period, dodging these dozens of Fly Leaf Knives was barely enough.

“Continue Fly Leaf Knife.” Wang Ruchu said loudly.

“Poison Ball.”

Poison Ball called out.

It didn’t shake its head, but instead emitted large patches of white powder from its body.

Wang Ruchu’s expression stiffened slightly.

Paralysis Powder… This is deliberately giving a different command, wanting me to use Paralysis Powder when I’m unprepared… The idea is good, but the color of this Paralysis Powder is too obvious… Qiao Sang calmly said, “Hold your breath, Discharge.”

The successful cross-level challenges in the past few days had already filled Xiaoting Dragon with trust in its Yu Beast Master. Without thinking, it obediently held its breath.

At the same time, it emitted yellow electric arcs from its body, converging into a bolt that struck towards Poison Ball.

Poison Ball lightly moved to the side, dodging the lightning power.

After stopping, it continued to scatter powder outwards from its body.

This time, the powder was brown.

The brown powder spread rapidly.

“Hold your breath.” Qiao Sang reminded.

Xiaoting Dragon’s face turned red, looking as if it couldn’t breathe.

It had been holding its breath for too long.

Guest area.

“It seems Xiaoting Dragon is clearly at a disadvantage.” Fu Jian said, “Its Discharge can’t hit Poison Ball, and as long as Poison Ball keeps releasing Mushroom Spore and Paralysis Powder, Xiaoting Dragon will eventually be hit. Its breath looks like it can’t be held for much longer.”

“I wonder how Yu Beast Master Qiao Sang will respond next.” Feodor sighed, “Although Poison Ball didn’t follow Yu Beast Master Wang Ruchu’s command, for now, its grasp of the situation is not wrong. Continuously using powder-type skills can indeed suppress Xiaoting Dragon.”

“Tie Tie…”

Tie Daoyi revealed a worried expression, clearly showing from his face which side he supported.

In the arena.

Qiao Sang calmly said, “Get close to it, Discharge.”

To win, the battle rhythm must be in her own hands.

Xiaoting Dragon held its breath, its face flushed red, and while rapidly moving closer, it released bolts of lightning power towards Poison Ball’s direction.

The lightning power was so dense that Poison Ball had to keep moving to dodge, at one point interrupting its Mushroom Spore.

“Bang bang bang!”

Bolts of lightning power struck nothing, causing the ground to explode.

“Fly Leaf Knife!” Wang Ruchu gave the command.

“Poison Ball!”

Poison Ball shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves instantly swept towards Xiaoting Dragon, which was moving closer.

Xiaoting Dragon moved to dodge.

Because the distance was close enough now, Poison Ball clearly saw that Xiaoting Dragon’s complexion had returned to normal.

Its eyes flashed, and it instantly understood that its opponent was breathing normally, so without another word, it once again scattered large patches of brown powder from its body.

The Pets of Yan Tian Star are indeed very good at battling, even without a Yu Beast Master’s command, they are good at seizing opportunities… Qiao Sang simplified the command:

“Hold!”

Xiaoting Dragon understood, immediately holding its breath.

However, the distance between it and Poison Ball was too close now, and it still inhaled some.

Xiaoting Dragon’s body stiffened, its movement speed suddenly slowed, and at the same time, ink-green mushrooms with white circular spots grew on its body.

Pets in a paralyzed state will have their movement speed reduced, and there is a certain probability that they will be unable to act when using skills.

Finally, it inhaled it… Wang Ruchu’s face lit up with joy.

Guest area.

“Xiaoting Dragon seems to have inhaled Mushroom Spore.” Fu Jian said.

“Poison Ball’s reaction ability is very strong, able to react to the situation immediately. It seems it has battled a lot in the past.” Feodor sighed.

“Tie Tie?”

Tie Daoyi revealed a puzzled expression, calling out, indicating why Yu Beast Master Qiao Sang wanted Xiaoting Dragon to get close to Poison Ball.

Translations simultaneously came through the headsets of Fu Jian and Feodor.

“If it were long-range, Xiaoting Dragon would eventually be defeated under Poison Ball’s dual assault of Mushroom Spore and Paralysis Powder.” Feodor analyzed, “If it’s close-range attack, Xiaoting Dragon can use Dragon Tail, and there’s still a chance to win. I think Yu Beast Master Qiao Sang must be thinking this.”

Fu Jian added, “It’s just that Yu Beast Master Qiao Sang probably didn’t expect Poison Ball’s reaction ability to be so fast.”

“Tie Tie.”

Tie Daoyi looked at the arena, his expression worried.

This distance is already completely within attack range… Qiao Sang estimated the distance between Xiaoting Dragon and Poison Ball, and said loudly:

“Leer!”

When releasing lightning from a long distance, Poison Ball can dodge it, and the chance of hitting it is less than ten percent. But if the distance is closed, and Leer is used when it’s unprepared, and then attacked, the hit rate will skyrocket.

Even if Xiaoting Dragon couldn’t hold its breath midway and inhaled Mushroom Spore or Paralysis Powder, at most there would only be a certain probability that it would be unable to act when using skills.

This probability is much lower than not being able to hit Poison Ball from a long distance and finally losing the match.

Xiaoting Dragon looked at Poison Ball, its eyes wide, revealing a sharp gaze.

In a paralyzed state, there is a certain probability of being unable to act when using skills, but Leer, which can be used by just looking without needing to act, is completely worry-free.

A strong fear welled up in Poison Ball’s heart, making its body stiff, and for a moment, it forgot to continue releasing Mushroom Spore.

“Ting Ting!”

Without even needing its Yu Beast Master to give a command, Xiaoting Dragon keenly sensed the opportunity. Its tail gathered silver-white light, wanting to swing forward forcefully.

However, its body was stiff, and its tail couldn’t move for a moment.

This probability of being unable to move actually happened to Xiaoting Dragon… Qiao Sang’s heart sank, and she shouted, “Force it!”

There is only one chance. Once missed, it will be much harder to get close to Poison Ball to attack. Moreover, the fear caused by Leer is short-lived. As long as the opponent has a brain, they won’t give Xiaoting Dragon another chance.

This distance is Xiaoting Dragon’s attack opportunity, and also the opponent’s attack opportunity.

Such bad luck… Everyone thought in unison.

“Fly Leaf Knife!”

Wang Ruchu was delighted at the sight and quickly said.

“Poison Ball.”

The fear in Poison Ball’s heart had now dissipated. It shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves instantly swept towards Xiaoting Dragon.

The green-glowing blades filled Xiaoting Dragon’s vision.

Almost instinctively, it thought of Mo Li Dragon, who was watching the match live.

If it lost the match in the end, and the other party came to its Yu Beast Master to curry favor, would its Yu Beast Master think it was too weak and waver…

No!

Absolutely not!

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon revealed a resolute expression, and its silver-white glowing tail finally moved. Facing the sweeping green blades, it swung forward forcefully.

Dozens of green-glowing blades all struck its body, leaving scars on it.

Xiaoting Dragon, however, seemed to feel no pain. Its body glowed with silver-white light, and its tail fiercely slammed onto Poison Ball’s body.

“Poison Ball!”

Poison Ball shrieked and flew backward.

“Ting Ting…”

The silver-white light on Xiaoting Dragon’s body disappeared, and it stood weakly on the ground.

Ting Bao, you did it… Qiao Sang felt inexplicably moved.

In the stands, Mo Li Dragon revealed a surprised expression.

The Pet that looked like an eye floated over to Poison Ball and took a look.

Soon, the half of the arena where Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon stood lit up with the green light of victory.

After a brief silence of 0.1 seconds in the stands, a clamor erupted.

“I just thought Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon were going to lose this time.”

“Me too, I didn’t expect Xiaoting Dragon to finally use Dragon Tail.”

“Xiaoting Dragon seems to have a strong desire to win. Its body was stiff later, clearly in a paralyzed state, but to win, it still recovered its mobility in time. The look in its eyes at the end, wanting to win, was truly amazing.”

“Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon have successfully challenged above their level again. It seems there’s no suspense for tomorrow’s finals.”

“To be honest, the combination of Qiao Sang and Xiaoting Dragon is truly amazing. They encountered Intermediate Pets for four consecutive rounds and won every time. While there are quite a few Beginner Pets that successfully challenge above their level, it’s rare to see it happen so many times in a row.”

Guest area.

Fu Jian sighed:

“In the final stage, Xiaoting Dragon regained its mobility, endured the Fly Leaf Knife attack, activated its Multiple Scales characteristic, and successfully attacked Poison Ball with Dragon Tail, achieving victory. To be honest, I was deeply moved by Xiaoting Dragon’s final desire to win.”

“Tie Tie~”

Tie Daoyi pulled out a tissue from somewhere and wiped away tears with a moved expression.

Feodor concluded:

“This match tells us that it’s not scary if our opponent is stronger than us, and it’s not scary to be at a disadvantage. As long as there is a determination to win and not give up, it’s possible to reverse the situation and achieve victory.”

“Tie Tie…”

Tie Daoyi wiped his tears and nodded.

…

Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang, with Xiaoting Dragon hanging around her neck, and Teacher Mi Jiala exited Mu Lian Arena and walked to a less crowded open space.

Ya Bao jumped from its Yu Beast Master’s arms, its body slowly growing larger.

“Mog Mog!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and found the oddly colored Mo Li Dragon she had seen last night flying towards them, flapping its wings.

She was startled at first, then looked around, but didn’t see Dragon King.

Mi Jiala looked at the appearing oddly colored Mo Li Dragon, her eyes showing no surprise.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon’s expression instantly revealed hostility, and yellow electric arcs crackled on its body.

Again… Qiao Sang, with her hair standing on end from the electricity, called out with a helpless expression, “Ting Bao.”

The electric arcs on Xiaoting Dragon’s body disappeared.

Qiao Sang’s hair softened.

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon flew to a stop in front of them and called out.

Qiao Sang saw it staring at her and hesitated, saying,

“Are you looking for me?”

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon nodded.

“Is there something you need me for?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon revealed a serious expression and called out.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoting Dragon looked at Mo Li Dragon with a displeased expression, trying hard to control its urge to Discharge and strike it.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure called out in her mind, helping to translate.

It said it still wants to make a contract with you.

After speaking, it looked at its Yu Beast Master, revealing an expression that said, “Just enjoy it secretly.”

I didn’t expect Mo Li Dragon to be so persistent… Qiao Sang coughed and said apologetically,

“But I’ve really decided to contract Xiaoting Dragon.”

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon didn’t seem surprised by the answer and continued to call out seriously.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate in her mind.

It said it can battle, and wants you to see its strength before making a decision.

An oddly colored Dragon-type Pet Beast, and it completely lacks the arrogance of a Dragon-type Pet Beast… Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang was very tempted, but then she thought of Xiaoting Dragon and calmed down, saying,

“No need, I’ve truly made my decision. I know the main reason you’re looking to contract with me is because I might participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, but that’s only a possibility. Besides me, there are many other equally talented Yu Beast Masters who have the chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup. I believe with your conditions, they would definitely be willing to contract with you.”

Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon revealed a disappointed expression, and then, thinking of something, it pulled out a business card from the satchel it was carrying, handed it over, and called out.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure helped translate.

It said if you ever regret it and want to contract with it, you can contact it.

Qiao Sang looked at Mo Li Dragon’s serious expression and finally reached out to take the business card.

The next second, yellow electric arcs appeared on Xiaoting Dragon’s body.

Qiao Sang’s ponytail once again stood up like a rocket.

“Mog Mog.”

Mo Li Dragon looked at Xiaoting Dragon, then at Qiao Sang, called out, turned, flapped its wings, and left.

The electric arcs on Xiaoting Dragon’s body did not disappear.

“I only took it out of politeness.” Qiao Sang explained.

Xiaoting Dragon revealed a displeased expression, but it still listened to the explanation, and the electric arcs on its body disappeared.

Qiao Sang touched her hair, which had returned to normal, and flipped over to sit on Ya Bao’s back.

Then she saw Teacher Mi Jiala still looking in the direction Mo Li Dragon had flown, and asked,

“What’s wrong?”

Mi Jiala said mournfully,

“I’m thinking, if I had also entered Di Class and then come to Yan Tian Star, would my life have been much better?”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Thanks to Boss Yi Yuan for the alliance leader reward! (The boss’s character is really hard to find!) Wishing the boss good health and great wealth!
