Chapter 1216: Ask for leave

No one and no Pet noticed that a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and then reversed direction, blowing back the way it came.

Inside the Barrier, Steel Treasure seemed to remember something, and used its paw to take off the hairpin on its head and throw it in the direction of Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao teleported in front of the hairpin, stretched out its paw to catch it, then gave Steel Treasure a thumbs up, grinned, and said, “Xiao Xunbao!”

I’ve got the stuff, you old sixth, perform well.

“Ting Ting.”

Steel Treasure called out to Xiao Xunbao, indicating, ‘Boss, don’t worry.’

Several Electric-type Pets that were about to compete suddenly had a bad premonition when they saw this scene.

Two of the Electric-type Pets that had voluntarily applied for the battle saw Xiao Xunbao’s expression outside the Barrier and heard its voice, their faces changed drastically, and they keenly realized they had been deceived.

However, at this moment, the Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew the whistle signaling the start of the match.

All the Pets immediately entered battle mode, with crackling yellow electric arcs appearing on their bodies.

“Ting Ting.”

At the same time, Steel Treasure widened its eyes, revealing a sharp gaze towards the six Electric-type Pets in front of it.

Four of the Electric-type Pets were instantly filled with intense fear, froze in place, and the yellow electric arcs that had appeared on their bodies also disappeared.

Only two Electric-type Pets were unaffected, concentrating their lightning power and striking at Steel Treasure.

“Boom!”

Two thick electric arcs accurately struck Steel Treasure’s body.

Within the yellow lightning power, Steel Treasure was completely unaffected.

“Ting Ting!”

It let out a loud cry, and the lightning power that had struck it dispersed, revealing its unharmed body.

The surrounding people and Pets gasped in surprise at the sight.

Inside the Barrier, yellow light flickered in Steel Treasure’s eyes.

Lightning instantly appeared on its body, rapidly crisscrossing and converging into a net of lightning that enveloped the six Electric-type Pets.

The four Pets whose eyes showed fear were still frozen in place.

Of the two Electric-type Pets that could move, one quickly moved to dodge the electric net’s attack, while the other cat-like Electric-type Pet rapidly condensed a white light on its tail, striking the nearby ball-like Electric-type Pet, knocking it out of the electric net’s range, and then transforming into a yellow flash, narrowly escaping the electric net.

“Guang Guang!”

The ball-like Electric-type Pet flew backward, letting out a scream, and rolled for over ten meters before stopping.

After it stopped, the fear in its eyes had disappeared, replaced by an angry gaze towards the cat-like Pet that had struck it.

However, just as it looked over, the lightning net enveloped the three Electric-type Pets that had not moved.

Almost 0.1 seconds after the electric net enveloped them, a terrifying bolt of lightning emerged from Steel Treasure, striking the three Electric-type Pets caught in the electric net.

“Boom!”

The lightning exploded upon contact with the electric net, and the three Electric-type Pets caught within screamed, closed their eyes, and fainted to the ground.

The ball-like Electric-type Pet saw this scene the moment it turned its head, and the anger in its eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a bewildered expression.

It then understood something and showed a grateful expression towards the cat-like Electric-type Pet that had just struck it with its tail.

“Ti Ti!”

But just as it showed its gratitude, it found that the other party looked at it with a drastic change in expression, letting out a loud cry.

Watch out!

Before the ball-like Electric-type Pet could react, an unbearable sharp pain came from its body.

“Guang Guang!”

The ball-like Electric-type Pet screamed and flew backward again.

This time, it flew a considerable distance, directly out of the Barrier.

The people and Pets in its flight path tacitly moved aside, making way for it.

The ball-like Electric-type Pet landed heavily on the ground, its eyes dazed.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly shouted, indicating that the old sixth had done well.

The surrounding Electric-type Pets quietly moved one meter away from Xiao Xunbao.

They hadn’t forgotten that it was this guy’s trickery that made these Electric-type Pets, who were currently competing, agree to the battle.

Steel Treasure retracted its silver-white glowing tail, its gaze falling on the only two conscious Electric-type Pets.

“Ti Ti!” The cat-like Electric-type Pet cursed the fallen ball-like Electric-type Pet with a grim expression.

Idiot, I saved you for nothing!

As soon as it finished speaking, a yellow bolt of lightning struck directly towards it.

“Bang!”

Just as it was about to strike the cat-like Pet, a thick electric arc struck from the side, accurately landing on the lightning and exploding.

The cat-like Pet looked at the snake-like Electric-type Pet beside it.

The snake-like Electric-type Pet happened to be looking at it at the same moment.

The two Electric-type Pets looked at each other, nodded tacitly, and turned to attack Steel Treasure simultaneously.

A great battle was about to break out.

…

At the same time.

A gust of wind inexplicably blew.

“Qing Qing!”

Qingbao opened its eyes and cried out excitedly.

It knew the location of Xiao Xunbao and the old sixth!

The wind actually told Qingbao… Qiao Sang was first stunned, then overjoyed, and said without thinking, “Then let’s follow the wind to find them now.”

There was plenty of time for long-distance clone training. Compared to that, she now wanted to know how the wind told Qingbao, and whether the location indicated by the wind was correct.

If the location led by the wind was indeed correct, then Qingbao undoubtedly possessed a powerful ability.

This ability might be even more powerful than Colored Flower Bud Shalala’s ability to communicate with flowers and plants.

After all, compared to flowers, plants, and trees, wind is even more omnipresent.

“Qing Qing!”

Qingbao nodded vigorously, then impatiently began to sense.

It didn’t know what it sensed, and then it called out again: “Qing Qing.”

In an instant, the wind swirled around, then expanded, encircling Qingbao, Qiao Sang, and Ya!, guiding them in a certain direction.

Qingbao quickly led the way.

Qiao Sang didn’t immediately follow. She clearly sensed the wind blowing towards the southwest, and couldn’t help but be stunned.

Is this what it feels like for the wind to lead the way…?

“Steel Treasure…”

Steel Treasure was the same.

The wind leading the way was far beyond its comprehension…

Indeed, it still had a lot to learn… Steel Treasure thought to itself.

“Ya!”

Just as Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure were stunned, Ya! cried out, indicating to hurry up, Qingbao was about to walk far away.

Qiao Sang then came back to her senses, holding Colored Flower Bud Shalala tightly and following closely behind.

Ya! and Steel Treasure followed beside them.

…

On the other side.

The remaining cat-like Electric-type Pet and snake-like Electric-type Pet had both fainted, lying on the ground.

The Pet wearing the referee’s badge observed for a moment, then blew the whistle signaling the end of the match, and called out:

“Li Li.”

As soon as the announcement was made, virtual panels simultaneously appeared above all the participating Pets. The six fallen Pets each had one Point deducted, while only Steel Treasure gained six Points at once.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao happily waved its paw and called out.

The surrounding Pets looked over with strange expressions.

Xiao Xunbao realized something, its body stiffened, then returned to normal, showing a worried expression and shouting loudly:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Old sixth, even if you finally won, please don’t be foolish and immediately look for six more opponents to battle! You’ve consumed a lot of energy and stamina, it’s impossible to challenge six opponents at once again!

The surrounding Electric-type Pets, hearing this, once again showed hesitant expressions.

Although they felt that this Ghost-type Pet, of unknown species, was incredibly cunning, they had to admit that what it was saying now made a lot of sense.

Steel Treasure was momentarily bewildered, then quickly reacted, showing an expression of “you don’t need to say anymore,” and called out stubbornly: “Ting Ting.”

No matter what you say, it will definitely challenge six more opponents.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao stretched out its paw and shouted loudly.

No! You have to listen to your boss!

“Ting Ting!”

Steel Treasure ignored it, instead calling out to the surrounding Electric-type Pets.

Who among you will accept my challenge? I need six opponents.

The surrounding Electric-type Pets looked at each other.

Before long, several bold Electric-type Pets who were confident in their strength stepped forward and called out, indicating their willingness to accept the challenge.

“Li Li.”

The Pet referee from the previous match called out, indicating that it could continue to be the referee for this match.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao pulled out energy recovery fluid and stamina recovery fluid from its ring, and called out with great concern, indicating, ‘I can’t stop you from finding opponents to compete, but at least listen to me, your boss, and drink these two recovery potions before battling.’

“Ting Ting.”

Steel Treasure showed an expression of “I really can’t do anything with you,” twisted its body and flew over, ready to take the potions and drink them.

The surrounding Electric-type Pets were stunned at the sight.

And the Electric-type Pets who had already accepted the match all showed angry expressions and began to curse.

They often battled outside, so they naturally knew that the potions the Ghost-type Pet in front of them had taken out were one for energy recovery and one for stamina recovery, and both were high-grade potions. For Pets of their low level, they would almost immediately recover upon drinking them.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao listened to the surrounding curses, showed a bewildered expression, and called out, indicating that according to the competition rules, it seemed there was no mention of not being able to drink these recovery potions after a match ended.

The cursing Electric-type Pets around instantly quieted down, feeling that it made some sense. After thinking about it, they couldn’t utter a single word of rebuttal, but the eyes of the few Electric-type Pets who accepted the challenge were still angry.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, however, thought of something at this moment, sighed, and showed an expression of compromise, calling out, indicating, ‘Since you don’t like it drinking recovery potions, then let’s not drink them.’

Saying that, it put the energy recovery fluid and stamina recovery fluid back into the ring.

According to its estimation, the old sixth probably didn’t use too much energy and stamina in the last match, and dealing with six Electric-type Pets of the same level wouldn’t be a big problem.

It would be bad if this energy and stamina recovery caused other Electric-type Pets to be unwilling to accept battle invitations later on.

The surrounding Electric-type Pets, hearing this, were once again stunned.

The six Electric-type Pets who had accepted the battle had their angry expressions freeze, then their eyes showed a hint of shame.

They had thought the other party was tricking them into a match, but they had overthought it…

“Ting Ting.”

Steel Treasure cooperated by calling out, indicating that since the boss said not to drink, then it wouldn’t drink.

Soon, the 1V6 battle began again.

Xiao Xunbao watched contentedly from outside the Barrier.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind:

“So this is how you accumulate Points for Steel Treasure.”

!!! Xiao Xunbao’s expression stiffened as it turned its head.

It saw that its Yu Beast Master had appeared behind it at some Point, looking at it with a half-smile.

Ya! looked at it with a disappointed expression.

Xiao Xunbao swallowed, just about to explain.

“Qing Qing!”

Qingbao was a step ahead of it, showing an excited expression and calling out, indicating that it had said Xiao Xunbao had been playing with the old sixth earlier!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao reacted and called out, indicating, ‘Don’t talk nonsense!’

“Qing Qing!”

Qingbao showed an excited expression and called out, indicating, ‘You still want to deny it? My clone followed you and saw everything!’

Xiao Xunbao instantly remembered the feeling of being spied on earlier, showing an angry expression and calling out:

“Xiao Xunbao!”

You actually tracked me!

“I told Qingbao to follow you,” Qiao Sang said. “I told it to follow you for long-distance clone training.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s angry expression quickly dissipated, replaced by a flustered expression of “you listen to my explanation.”

Just as Xiao Xunbao was racking its brains trying to figure out how to keep its Yu Beast Master from getting too angry, Qiao Sang sighed with emotion:

“Your method is very good. I never thought of letting Steel Treasure accumulate Points so quickly in this way.”

The battle method she mentioned could indeed quickly increase Steel Treasure’s combat experience, but that was all. Xiao Xunbao’s method could quickly allow Steel Treasure to accumulate Points and Points.

Defeating an intermediate Pet of similar or stronger strength, and defeating a weak intermediate Pet, would result in the same increase in Points for the Gold Finger.

The free Pet Points battle system worked the same way for Point increases.

Since that was the case, why not continue to use this 1Vn battle method?

There was only one month left in the competition, and there would be many more opportunities to improve combat experience later.

Qiao Sang felt as if she had been enlightened, and continued to say with emotion:

“I also never thought of coming to the charging station to find Electric-type Pets. You really surprise me a bit.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t know whether its Yu Beast Master was praising it or being sarcastic, and was a bit hesitant to respond.

Qiao Sang continued:

“However, the number of intermediate Electric-type Pets participating in the competition is limited. You should let Steel Treasure invite more participants of other species to battle, such as Insect-type.”

As everyone knows, Insect-type Pets are the weakest.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it called out, indicating that it hadn’t thought of that.

After speaking, it showed an expression of admiration towards its Yu Beast Master.

Qingbao, seeing this scene, involuntarily took a step back.

How was this scene a bit different from what it imagined…?

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and said with a smile:

“You, you just let Steel Treasure battle too little. How about this, I’ll give you a task: from now on, make sure Steel Treasure accumulates at least 200 Points every day. If you do that, I won’t blame you for taking Steel Treasure out to play all day these past two days, and even going to the spa. If you don’t accumulate enough, you’ll have to train three extra hours every day.”

She paused, then added with a smile:

“Body training.”
