Chapter 214: That’s it?

As soon as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared, it saw dense crowds of people all staring at it.

“Xun…”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had an exaggerated expression, its eyes wide, and its mouth formed into an O-shape.

So many people…

“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.”

“Xun…” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost kept its O-shaped mouth, its expression bewildered as it turned its head to look at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang smiled, “It’s time to show off your training results.”

Although this wasn’t a formal competition yet, in a sense, it was Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s first public appearance in front of so many people.

The Pet Marathon, where it had merely played a supporting role, had already been automatically disregarded by Qiao Sang in her mind…

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was stunned when it heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, then turned to look at the people all around and then at the Little Chubby Dove in front of it, a look of sudden understanding dawning on its face.

Isn’t this the competition scene that Brother Ya Bao usually watches on TV!

It’s going to be on TV?!

“Xun!”

Thinking of this, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded vigorously, its expression becoming excited.

Looking at the Pet that appeared in the center of the arena, gasps and murmurs continuously rose from within the Holy Water Arena.

“This, this is a Ghost-type Pet?!”

“Contracting a Treasure Hunting Ghost as the first Pet? Are all new students this brave now?!”

“I thought about it, and I still won’t go up later. I heard that Yu Beast Masters who contract Ghost-type Pets often have some mental issues. What if I win against her and she retaliates against me in private?”

“Heh heh, with your Sand Burrowing Rat? Are you just scared to go up?”

“Don’t expose me, and we’re still good brothers.”

“…”

“No wonder she was so arrogant just now; turns out her Pet is a Treasure Hunting Ghost. It has to be said, Ghost-type Pets are indeed quite troublesome to deal with.”

“Why is the information wrong? Shouldn’t Qiao Sang’s Pet be a Yan Ling Dog?” The mushroom-haired boy who had just been discussing the School Team members looked at the Treasure Hunting Ghost in the center of the arena with a bewildered expression.

“Did none of you notice the color of her star array just now?” Wang Yiding said in a deep voice.

The mushroom-haired boy was stunned. As new students, he subconsciously assumed that others would also have a white star array, and the impact of the Treasure Hunting Ghost just now was too great, causing him not to notice the color of the star array.

Could it be that the information wasn’t wrong, but Qiao Sang also contracted a Treasure Hunting Ghost?

“What color?” The mushroom-haired boy swallowed and asked.

“It was gray.” Before Wang Yiding could answer, the boy next to him murmured.

Mushroom-haired boy: “!!!”

…

Center of the arena.

Zhang Jinchuan held his breath, staring intently at Qiao Sang’s movements.

“The battle has begun, aren’t you attacking?” Qiao Sang asked.

Right, attack… Due to nervousness, Zhang Jinchuan, reminded by this, instantly forgot his initial idea of staying vigilant and waiting for the opponent to make the first move.

He steeled himself, just about to give an order, when he found the Treasure Hunting Ghost’s figure mysteriously disappear from the arena, appearing in front of the Little Chubby Dove in the blink of an eye.

“Little Chubby Dove! Quick, dodge!” Zhang Jinchuan cried out urgently.

However, it was already too late. Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes glowed purple, and under the perfected Hypnosis, Little Chubby Dove didn’t struggle at all. Its eyes closed, and it fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, the Teacher acting as referee nearby blew her whistle: “Little Chubby Dove has lost its ability to fight! The winner is Qiao Sang!”

The Holy Water Arena was a cacophony of noise.

“Holy cow, that was too fast! Not even a minute.”

“This Zhang Jinchuan from Class 5 is too weak! Even though he faced a Ghost-type Pet, losing so quickly is too embarrassing.”

“Didn’t you all see Qiao Sang deliberately talk to distract Zhang Jinchuan at the beginning of the battle? Otherwise, if he had noticed the Treasure Hunting Ghost disappear immediately, he would have had time to make Little Chubby Dove react.”

“That only proves that her tactic of distracting her opponent was very successful.”

“But why do I feel like Qiao Sang was genuinely just being kind and reminding him? After all, with Treasure Hunting Ghost’s attribute advantage, there’s no need for such tactics at all.”

“Nonsense! Show me which Beginner Yu Beast Master’s Pet acts on its own without vocal commands. It’s clearly a tactic she prepared in advance for today’s battle.”

“If you put it that way, I think she’s amazing, because even if you plan tactics in advance, the Pet still needs to remember to cooperate. Can your Shen Mao Turtle do that?”

“…”

On the arena.

“Do you need to recover?” The Teacher came over and asked.

“No need.” Qiao Sang shook her head.

The battle just now wasn’t even a warm-up for Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, which practices skill release every day.

“Is there anyone else who wants to come up and challenge?” Principal Wang Weidou asked at the opportune moment.

The entire venue fell silent. People pushed each other, but not a single person dared to go up.

Among Beginner Pets, which generally don’t have many skills, Ghost-type Pets are basically a BUG-like existence. Without countering attributes and skills, you can’t even touch them. How do you fight?

Everyone was waiting for someone else to go first, hoping to pick up the scraps later.

Seeing that no one came up for a long time, Qiao Sang immediately turned to the referee Teacher and asked, “Teacher, can I borrow the microphone for a moment?”

The Teacher was stunned for a moment, then handed over the microphone.

Qiao Sang took the microphone, and in an instant, recalled all the trash-talking segments she had seen online, deciding to choose one that was slightly less provoking.

After all, after today, she would be in the same school for three years, seeing these people every day, so offending all her classmates directly wouldn’t be too good.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang cleared her throat, a smile playing on her lips, and with a teasing tone, she only said two words:

“That’s it?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, mimicking its Yu Beast Master’s expression, used its short digits to pick its nose. That wasn’t enough; it even flicked its short digits that had just picked its nose, looking utterly obnoxious.

The entire venue was silent.

The next second.

“Holy cow! Nobody stop me, I’m going up first!”

“No, I have to be next!”

“I’m going first!”

“Me first!”

“Don’t push, let me go first!”

Soon, a long line formed by the side of the arena.

Good, the Taunt tactic was remarkably effective… Qiao Sang was very satisfied with the scene created by her single sentence.

“First-year (2) class, Jiang Wenhua.” The newly arrived boy said, then summoned his White Sand Fox.

As the referee Teacher’s command sounded, the battle began.

There was no time to react at all. Almost as soon as the command sounded, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s figure disappeared, then immediately appeared in front of the White Sand Fox.

It was still one Hypnosis, and the White Sand Fox immediately fell to the ground.

In just 5 seconds, the battle ended.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost grinned, extending a short digit to Taunt the next boy in line to enter the arena.

The boy: “!!!”

In the next few battles, all the new students present covered their eyes, unable to watch, while the older students watched with extreme excitement.

It was the same attack method every time: disappear, appear inexplicably, then use Hypnosis.

It couldn’t be simpler, yet no one could last more than 5 seconds, let alone break Treasure Hunting Ghost’s attack.

Just as Qiao Sang had won 16 battles in a row, a boy wearing blue glasses and a buzz cut walked up.

“First-year (1) class, Chen Dongjun.”

He formed hand seals and summoned a Pet with a deep blue body, its neck between its head and torso covered in light blue fur, from which a pair of purple wings extended.
