Chapter 215: Next

“Echo Bat, close your eyes!”

The moment the Teacher announced the start of the battle, Chen Dongjun immediately issued the command.

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow. It seemed her classmate had figured out a way to deal with Little Treasure Hunting Ghost after watching over a dozen battles.

Echo Bat, a dual-type Pet of Poison-type and Flying-type, can release ultrasonic waves for echolocation, allowing it to move freely in the dark.

For Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, whose Hypnosis requires eye contact to be effective, closing its eyes renders the skill useless, even if it has reached the Profound Level.

However, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost doesn’t just know that one move…

Echo Bat obediently closed its eyes.

“Keep releasing ultrasonic waves like that!” Chen Dongjun shouted.

Echo Bat flapped its wings, opened its mouth wide, and a wave-like energy ripple advanced forward. Just as it was about to touch Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost vanished from its spot.

In the audience, many people started discussing.

“Not bad, it looks like someone can finally break the 5-second mark.”

“Are ultrasonic waves useful against an invisible Ghost-type Pet?”

“Not sure. I only know that ultrasonic waves can make opponents enter a confused state.”

“The book says that ultrasonic wave detection uses sound waves to hit solid objects and reflect back, then uses the Pet’s echolocation ability in its ears to locate the solid object. Ghost-type Pets have the characteristic of penetration, so ultrasonic waves should be useless against Treasure Hunting Ghost, right?”

“That depends on the proficiency level of the ultrasonic wave. Didn’t you watch the Lianke Channel competition a while ago? Mao Yin used her Sonic Gale Moth to detect the location of the Black-Eyed Doll, and she used ultrasonic waves.”

“Pet characteristics also have levels. It’s estimated that the Sonic Gale Moth’s ultrasonic wave proficiency was high enough, and that Black-Eyed Doll’s penetration characteristic level was too low.”

“Aren’t you curious why Qiao Sang hasn’t given any commands even in this situation?”

As soon as this was said, the people nearby felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

Did they even need to ask? It was obvious that the other person’s battle level was simply not on the same level as theirs.

Only novices like them, who had just become Yu Beast Masters, would command their Pets’ every move in battle. Yu Beast Masters with years of battle experience wouldn’t do this, and Qiao Sang was clearly moving towards becoming a Professional Beast Tamer.

Professional Beast Tamers in competitions let their Pets respond based on their own combat awareness, and they only give commands at critical moments.

What did this mean? It meant that Qiao Sang felt the current situation didn’t even require her to speak!

Chen Dongjun, on the field, felt a panic in his heart as he watched Treasure Hunting Ghost disappear, then he comforted himself: It’s okay, as long as Treasure Hunting Ghost attacks, he’ll be able to find its location!

Ultrasonic waves can sense the location of all solid objects through echoes, not just the Pet itself, but also all touchable skills.

As a Beginner Pet, Treasure Hunting Ghost’s skills are nothing more than Shadow Ball and Tongue Lick.

The activation location of Shadow Ball can be sensed through ultrasonic waves. Even if Treasure Hunting Ghost approaches invisibly and uses Tongue Lick, the moment it extends its tongue to lick, it will definitely become corporeal. As long as he seizes that instant to counterattack, his chances of winning are still very high.

Even if Treasure Hunting Ghost’s reaction speed is fast enough to dodge Echo Bat’s attacks, as long as Echo Bat uses ultrasonic waves to sense and dodge Treasure Hunting Ghost’s attacks, the final competition will still be about whose energy runs out first.

Just as various thoughts flashed through Chen Dongjun’s mind, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost strangely appeared behind Echo Bat.

“Echo Bat, it’s behind you!” Chen Dongjun, startled, quickly reminded him.

“Yin yin!”

Echo Bat was startled, suddenly turned around, and flapped its wings forcefully. Two Air Blades immediately attacked Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

However, this strike suddenly missed.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, seeing Echo Bat’s overly Stunned look, covered its mouth and snickered, not even putting the two incoming Air Blades in its eyes.

Just as the Air Blades were about to hit, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost vanished from its spot again.

“Quickly use ultrasonic waves!” Chen Dongjun reminded him.

Before Echo Bat could release its ultrasonic waves, it suddenly felt something poke its wing.

Immediately after, it heard its Yu Beast Master shout loudly: “Above! Quick, dodge!”

“Yin yin!”

Echo Bat shivered in fright and quickly flapped its wings to change direction.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost covered its mouth and snickered, then vanished from the field once more.

In the first row, Principal Wang Weidou let out a soft ‘oh’.

“Why does this Treasure Hunting Ghost’s speed feel a bit abnormal?”

Vice Principal Liu Yao, beside him, couldn’t be bothered to respond. When he shamelessly invited him to the school, he spoke more eloquently than a song, saying how much he valued the National Campus League.

Yet, the School Team had been training for a month, and he didn’t even understand the basic information of the School Team members.

Was that fast reaction speed? That was teleportation!

Wang Weidou wasn’t angry that Liu Yao ignored him. He stroked his beardless chin and continued to ponder: “Why do I feel this Treasure Hunting Ghost is a bit silly? Just now, when Echo Bat didn’t react, it should have taken the opportunity to attack directly, but it only poked Echo Bat with its finger.”

“It’s playing.” Liu Yao rolled his eyes at him.

Wang Weidou: “…”

On the field, Qiao Sang watched as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost constantly changed direction, playing with Echo Bat, and finally couldn’t help but say: “Xiao Xunbao, stop playing.”

Time is Point! Qiao Sang shouted in her heart.

“Qunbao~”

The invisible Little Treasure Hunting Ghost responded.

Then it suddenly appeared on the ground.

Its appearing location was precisely where Echo Bat’s shadow was.

While everyone was still surprised by how abnormal Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s speed was, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost extended a short toe, and the corresponding short toe’s reflection on the ground twisted. Immediately after, the shadow suddenly extended directly until it connected to Echo Bat’s shadow.

“Echo Bat, Air Blade!” Chen Dongjun, seeing Treasure Hunting Ghost appear, couldn’t help but look up and shout excitedly to Echo Bat in mid-air: “It’s about three meters in front of you, below!”

“Yin… Yin!!!”

However, as soon as Echo Bat opened its mouth, before it could even begin to condense energy, it was forcefully pulled down by an unknown force and slammed heavily onto the ground.

“Yin…” Echo Bat did not fall down because of this, but struggled to get up.

“Echo Bat, hold on!” Chen Dongjun was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized they were still in battle and quickly encouraged Echo Bat.

“Yin yin…”

Echo Bat, which had fallen to the ground due to loss of balance, had already opened its eyes. It saw Treasure Hunting Ghost not far in front of it grin at it, then its erect short toe moved.

“Yin yin!!!”

The next second, Echo Bat let out an earth-shattering scream.

Everyone subconsciously swallowed as they watched Echo Bat spin 360 degrees non-stop in mid-air.

Soon, Echo Bat’s screams abruptly stopped.

“Qunbao~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, seeing that the opponent had gone silent, lowered its short toe, and the connected shadows on the ground also separated.

“Bang!”

Echo Bat fell heavily, making no sound. It was already as dizzy as could be…

The entire venue was silent.

Looking at the seemingly frozen crowd, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Next.”
