Chapter 311: This guy has something

The match on the field had already entered its second round.

“I haven’t seen this Pet before,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the blue-bodied, white-bellied Pet with blue whiskers, a thick, upward-curving tail, and two exposed front teeth in the center of the field.

“This is a Sea Nibbling Ferret,” Xu Yixuan explained, adjusting her glasses. “It’s a Pet from the Ancient Mist region. Don’t let its small size fool you; its front teeth can gnaw through large trees.”

As she spoke, her thoughts drifted, and she went off on a tangent: “When you’re eating walnuts or something, it feels really good to have it around.”

After saying that, Xu Yixuan returned to the main topic: “Don’t worry, although the Sea Nibbling Ferret is a Pet from the Ancient Mist region, it’s not much different from a regular Water-type Pet. Just fight as usual. Even He Datao can win this round.”

No sooner had she spoken than the Sea Nibbling Ferret on the field launched a Water Jet directly downwards. The Magma Burst Gorilla didn’t dodge, instead meeting it head-on with a Flame Jet.

However, just as the two were about to collide, the Water Jet suddenly changed direction, spiraling around the Flame Jet to approach.

The Magma Burst Gorilla couldn’t dodge in time and took the full force of the attack, letting out a pained cry.

A burst of cheers erupted from Pinghai High School’s contestant area.

Fortunately, the Magma Burst Gorilla was thick-skinned and wasn’t knocked out in one hit.

Xu Yixuan’s mouth twitched slightly. ‘The slap in the face can’t come this fast, can it? Is He Datao really capable? This is only the second school we’re competing against.’

Qiao Sang didn’t pay attention to that. She looked at the Sea Nibbling Ferret on the field, her mind replaying the swirling Water Jet.

Someone who hasn’t taught a Water-type Pet Water Jet might not understand, but she had taught Lu Bao Water Jet, so she naturally knew how difficult that maneuver was.

To change the direction of Water Jet, in addition to maintaining energy flow, one also needs extremely strong body control.

Don’t think that all Pets that can use Water Jet can simply change direction, like from left to right, or from bottom to top, or make a large-angle change.

To control Water Jet to perform a continuous spiral rotation, constantly changing direction, the difficulty factor can be said to be five stars.

At least, the current Lu Bao couldn’t do it.

This girl is not ordinary. Qiao Sang looked at the Sea Nibbling Ferret’s Yu Beast Master.

In the previous and the one before that competitions, Saint Water Middle School did not face Pinghai High School, which meant He Datao did not have a thorough understanding of Pinghai High School’s School Team members.

Aside from knowing the names of Pinghai High School’s School Team members, their respective Pets, and their proficiency in training Water-type Pets, he had no other information. This made the match not as smooth as the one against Fuqi Beast Taming High School.

Three people, six matches. He Datao lost the second and fifth matches.

He accumulated a total of 12 points.

With this score, He Datao would likely be temporarily kicked out of the first tier by the end of today.

“A2 Group Saint Water Middle School’s Qiao Sang versus A2 Group Pinghai High School’s Zhou Jing,” the broadcast announced.

He Datao sat on the chair, looking dejected, still reeling from the blow of losing two matches.

“It’s okay, it’s just two losses. I’ll win them back for you,” Qiao Sang said, patting his shoulder to comfort him before walking onto the field.

He Datao came to his senses, watching Qiao Sang’s retreating back and internally complaining wildly:

I don’t feel comforted at all! This is an individual competition, not a team competition! What does your win have to do with me?!

However, He Datao stretched his legs and relaxed his sitting posture a bit, feeling a little better inside.

Just then, Xu Yixuan spoke softly:

“How did you lose two matches to Pinghai High School? Especially the second match against the Sea Nibbling Ferret, it shouldn’t have happened. I just guaranteed to Qiao Sang that you’d be fine, and then you lost. This is a huge slap in my face.”

“This isn’t even a Water-type field, and you actually lost. With your skill level, it should have been fine. The coach always tells you not to overuse skills at the start if you don’t gain an advantage immediately. Pets have limited energy, why don’t you listen?”

“And…”

He Datao: “…”

What to do when my mood suddenly sours again?

As Qiao Sang walked onto the field, the surrounding people immediately began to discuss.

“What a pity, we won’t get to see Yan Ling Dog.”

“Why?”

“Everyone at Pinghai High School has a Water-type Pet. Qiao Sang definitely won’t send out Yan Ling Dog.”

“Indeed, but it would be good if her third Pet could fight. We still don’t know what this third Pet is; there’s no information at all, only that it’s a Water-type.”

“What’s the rush? We’ll see it eventually today. There are six matches. Even if she sends out a Treasure Hunting Fairy, it’s impossible for it to sweep six like Yan Ling Dog.”

“Well said.”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the star array on the field lit up, and an incredibly familiar figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Ya!”

Everyone: “???”

B Zone instantly became noisy.

“What’s going on? Why did she send out Yan Ling Dog?!”

“Didn’t Qiao Sang watch Pinghai High School’s previous matches? This Zhou Jing’s two Pets are clearly both Water-type! She has three Pets, why would she send out one that’s countered?”

“Uh, actually, I don’t think the problem is that big. Doesn’t Yan Ling Dog also have a Superpower System?”

“That’s true! But as long as a Water-type skill hits Yan Ling Dog, the effect is doubled!”

“Why are you so loud and emotional? You’re not from Saint Water Middle School.”

“…Oh, right.”

On the field.

The Mechanical System Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew its whistle and immediately moved far away. Qiao Sang, sharp-eyed, noticed that today’s referee was not the same as yesterday’s.

“You know which two Pets of mine are, yet you still sent out Yan Ling Dog. Is this looking up to me or looking down on me?” Zhou Jing said, then issued her command first: “High-Speed Rotation!”

“Ban Ban!”

The yellow-shelled, orange-spotted turtle-like Pet in front of her quickly retracted its body into its shell and began to spin at high speed, rushing towards where Ya Bao stood.

Star-Spotted Turtle, Intermediate Pet, likes to inhabit swampy grasslands, all the round spots on its body can spray water. Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the information of the Pet in front of her, but she didn’t speak.

Ya Bao remained still, staring intently at its opponent spinning towards it.

Why isn’t it moving? Zhou Jing narrowed her eyes, feeling something was amiss.

Then, she suddenly remembered something, her expression changed, and she said in a panic: “Turn to the opponent’s back!”

The Star-Spotted Turtle’s spinning trajectory instantly changed, circling to the left.

At the same time, Ya Bao’s eyes turned blue.

Sure enough, Zhou Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing she judged in time and made Da Ban change its route.

If it had charged straight at Yan Ling Dog, Yan Ling Dog’s Superpower would have directly taken control.

Knowing that she was going to compete against someone from Saint Water Middle School today, she had studied carefully.

Although she was confident in the power of Da Ban’s High-Speed Rotation, Yan Ling Dog’s Superpower could control Profound Level Spark, and she didn’t dare to gamble.

Qiao Sang smiled.

This person has some tricks.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao, seeing that its Superpower hadn’t controlled the opponent, immediately showed an excited expression.

Its Yu Beast Master was right!

The opponents it encountered were indeed getting stronger and stronger!

P.S.: Happy Valentine’s Day. But those reading this chapter at this time are probably mostly single, right?
