Chapter 188: Fight back protective cover

Zheng Guoping asked, “Did you watch the match between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu that was broadcast on the Yu Beast Tournament channel last night?”

Qiao Sang shook her head, “No, but I saw that they were trending on the hot search.”

Zheng Guoping said with a knowing look, “Indeed, their match was quite exciting, and it’s normal for it to trend. Especially Ning Yu’s Blasting War Turtle’s use of the Counterattack Barrier, which is also the move I want your Yan Ling Dog to train next.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, “What is Counterattack Barrier?”

She didn’t recall any Fire-type Pet skill with that name.

Zheng Guoping was also stunned, “Didn’t it trend on the hot search? You don’t know?”

“No, they trended because paparazzi caught Liu Qutong and Ning Yu having dinner together after the match and staying in the same room at the same hotel for two hours,” Qiao Sang said innocently.

Liu Qutong and Ning Yu were considered star players of this year’s Yuhua Regional Competition, and some people dug up that they attended the same primary, middle, and high schools, so quite a few people shipped them as a couple.

Zheng Guoping was dumbfounded.

He thought the hot search was discussing an exciting battle, but it turned out to be emotional gossip?!

Are netizens really that idle?

Zheng Guoping endured, but in the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did they really stay in the same room for two hours?”

“Probably,” Qiao Sang nodded, “At least that’s what the paparazzi photos showed.”

Zheng Guoping was silent for a while, then returned to the main topic:

“That Counterattack Barrier is considered a tactic. It mainly utilizes the Pet rotating in place so that its skills are no longer focused in one direction, but rather cover a very large area, transforming offensive skills into moves that are both offensive and defensive.”

“Isn’t there a saying online that offense is the best defense? Your Yan Ling Dog knows Flame Vortex, so it can totally train this move.”

Spinning in place?

Qiao Sang mused, “Teacher, Ya doesn’t have a shell like the Blasting War Turtle. If it spins on the ground, won’t it wear out its fur?”

Zheng Guoping’s eyelid twitched, and he tried to keep his tone as usual: “You can rest assured about that. If extraordinary creatures were that easily injured, then they’d have to stay in the intensive care unit after just a few hits in any casual match.”

“It’s just that the Yan Ling Dog isn’t a Ground-type Pet, so training this move will indeed be a bit tougher.”

Qiao Sang seriously considered the feasibility of this move.

Hardship wasn’t an issue; she had already planned for defense.

Ya is not only a Fire-type Pet but also possesses Superpower System.

Although Telekinesis is one of the most basic skills among Superpower System Pets, as long as the proficiency of Telekinesis reaches the Profound Meaning peak and the internal energy is sufficient, one can control the sky and the earth with a single Telekinesis move.

Controlling an offensive skill for a rebound is even easier.

However, there are also many ways to counter Telekinesis; first, Telekinesis can be dodged.

Of course, it’s not very realistic to dodge Telekinesis with Profound Meaning peak proficiency, but this situation is not impossible.

Also, Telekinesis can be interrupted by skills during its execution.

If the opponent’s size is too large or their strength and energy far exceed one’s own, Telekinesis will not be very effective.

Thinking about it this way, it seems good to have other defensive means as well…

…

6:22 PM.

In the living room.

Ya and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost were watching a video on a phone, their heads pressed close together.

The phone was playing the match between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu from yesterday.

In the video, a large, pink turtle-like Pet was retracting its four limbs into its shell and spinning continuously like a top.

Circles of crimson flames expanded and swirled outwards from the large turtle-like Pet, quickly colliding with dozens of crescent-shaped blue Sky Wind Blades descending from above.

A tremendous explosion of power erupted.

Amidst a crimson blaze, a medium-sized bird-like Pet in mid-air shrieked and fell heavily to the ground.

Qiao Sang took a bite of an apple on the sofa and said, “It’s very simple. It’s almost the same as it, just spinning and using Flame Jet. The main thing is to release the flames while maintaining high-speed rotation, and then not get dizzy afterward.”

“But you’re not like it.” Qiao Sang looked at the confused Ya and smiled, “I’ve thought about it. This move can’t defend 360 degrees without blind spots. If the opponent can use burrowing, this move is useless.”

“To defend all-around, we need to spin in the sky.”

“Ya?”

Ya was even more confused.

How to spin in the sky?

“When you’re in the air using Telekinesis, just use Flame Jet and stay clear-headed. Let the clone control your body with Telekinesis for the spinning part,” Qiao Sang explained.

Besides the reason she mentioned, there was another reason: Ya, after all, didn’t have the Ground-type attribute, and its defense was average. High-speed rotation on the ground with its body would inevitably cause some injuries.

In the sky, it’s different. There’s no friction, so as long as it doesn’t get dizzy while spinning, it can keep spinning indefinitely.

As for whether Ya could learn it, Qiao Sang wasn’t worried at all.

Last night, it only took less than an hour to learn Teleportation. Is this kind of technical training harder than learning a new skill?

If Qiao Sang’s idea were known to other Yu Beast Masters, it would probably incite public outrage.

You’re asking a Pet to spin in the sky, controlled by its clone, while also using Flame Jet and staying clear-headed—is that something a normal Yu Beast Master would say?!

Isn’t the clone a skill?!

Is it being spun by its clone using Telekinesis?!

No!

It’s controlling the clone to spin itself with Telekinesis!

Look, is this something a human would do?!

Of course, Qiao Sang only thought her idea was good, and so did Ya.

“Ya!”

Ya understood, nodded vigorously, and a clone appeared beside it, immediately ready to start special training.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang was so startled that she quickly put down her apple and shouted, “This is the living room!”

“Ya!”

Ya barked, indicating understanding, and then it and its clone turned simultaneously to head for the courtyard.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang stopped them again, “Don’t go yet.”

“Ya?”

Ya looked at its Yu Beast Master, tilting its head.

Aren’t we training?

Although being proactive is good, can you please let me finish talking first… Qiao Sang said helplessly, “Let’s take it step by step. What if you get dizzy and fall directly from the sky? We first need to practice anti-dizziness ability.”

“Ya!”

Ya’s eyes lit up, with an expression of sudden realization.

Although its Yu Beast Master was a bit poor, she was smart!

“Just in the living room. Don’t go up into the air yet. Let the clone control you with Telekinesis to spin, and don’t use Flame Jet. Just purely spin,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ya ya.”

Ya nodded, got into position, ready to be spun.

The clone’s eyes glowed blue.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Just then, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost came in front of Ya and called out twice, wanting it to stop.

Then Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned to Qiao Sang and patted its chest.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“You want to help Ya spin?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xun~”
