Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 316: headmaster! Something bad is happening!
However, there was still a prerequisite for truly retaliating.
That was: don’t lose!
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao looked at the Double-Tailed Tortoise with a serious expression.
The battle began.
Xiao Xunbao disappeared into invisibility.
Guo Jiasong, the player from Hanggang Sixth Yu Beast High School, simply gave up and did not issue any counter-instructions.
Not to mention how abnormal Qiao Sang herself was, just the title of Saint Water Middle School School Team member was enough to make him feel there was no hope of winning.
In fact, there were quite a few people with Guo Jiasong’s mindset.
As long as they were up against a prestigious school, they didn’t even know the opponent’s strength, and they already felt they couldn’t win before the match even began.
The difference was that people with this mindset were divided into two groups.
One part still wanted to try their best, while the other part decided to just go through the motions and save their energy for matches they were confident in.
Guo Jiasong was the latter.
“Lupa.”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise’s mindset was clearly different from its Yu Beast Master’s.
It looked around with a vigilant expression.
Just as the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s gaze was to the left, Xiao Xunbao stuck out a large tongue and appeared out of thin air on the right, poised to lick it.
Although the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s gaze was to the left, it could still feel a sudden shadow appear on its right.
“Lupa!”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise instinctively pulled its head back into its shell, and Xiao Xunbao licked nothing.
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao pouted and disappeared.
“Lupa!”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise stayed in its shell for a while, feeling the danger had passed. It extended its head, turned to its Yu Beast Master, and let out a serious cry.
It meant: this is a match, get into it!
Guo Jiasong was stunned. He didn’t expect the Double-Tailed Tortoise to still be so combative after losing two matches to Saint Water Middle School members.
Just then, Xiao Xunbao’s figure appeared like a ghost, only 0.1 centimeters away from the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s head.
“Be careful!” Guo Jiasong exclaimed.
Before Xiao Xunbao could do anything, the Double-Tailed Tortoise quickly retracted its head again.
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao became invisible again.
Guo Jiasong breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes gradually firming.
That’s right.
Although the Qiao Sang in front of him was very strong, this time she didn’t send out Yan Ling Dog!
This Treasure Hunting Fairy was small, clearly malnourished, and its strength must be weaker than a normal Treasure Hunting Fairy.
If that was the case, why not give it a try?
Even if he couldn’t get 3 points, maybe there was still a chance for a draw!
Didn’t a draw still give 1 point!
The more Guo Jiasong thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. His confidence reignited, and he immediately said, “Pour sand!”
“Lupa!”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise received the command, extended its head, and powerfully swiped its left front paw forward. A cloud of dust instantly swirled around, obscuring its own figure within it.
Pour sand, a low-level Ground-type skill.
Although it wasn’t a high-level skill, it was very practical.
It allowed the Pet to use its claws or limbs to kick up sand and interfere with the opponent’s vision. It was a commonly used skill among low-level Ground-type Pets.
Dust flew, but Xiao Xunbao’s figure never appeared.
“A minute has passed,” someone in the audience said, looking at the time on their wrist. “It seems Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy still has a certain gap in strength compared to Yan Ling Dog. I thought the Treasure Hunting Fairy could also win by crushing.”
“What are you thinking?” The man next to him leaned back in his chair and said lazily, “At her age, having a green star array and a Yan Ling Dog is already enough to blind others. If her other Pets were as abnormal as Yan Ling Dog, how would others live?”
“That’s true. This Treasure Hunting Fairy seems to be accustomed to close-range attacks. As soon as Pour sand interferes, it stops moving. If the Double-Tailed Tortoise keeps using Pour sand and the Treasure Hunting Fairy never appears, who knows when this match will end.”
“Don’t worry, there are rules in the match. One side cannot continuously do nothing,” the man leaning back in his chair said. “Even for Ghost-type Pets, aren’t there sensing devices monitoring the arena? The Main Referee is watching over there. If the Treasure Hunting Fairy goes out of bounds while invisible or stays still, the Main Referee would have shown a yellow card already.”
“I’m not worried about fouls; I just feel the time… Holy cow!” Suddenly, the person who was speaking earlier stared at the arena and became excited.
The man who had been lazily leaning back in his chair also sat up straight, looking at the arena with a bewildered expression.
They saw the Double-Tailed Tortoise on the arena being dragged out of the dust by an unknown force, and then suddenly pulled into the air!
“Lupa!!!”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise changed from its initial steady demeanor, crying uncontrollably in fear.
Help me! It’s afraid of heights!
Just then, it suddenly stopped, no longer rising into the air.
“Lupa…”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise was teary-eyed, still in shock, its whole body stiff, not daring to move.
Before it could recover and breathe a sigh of relief.
The next second, its entire body uncontrollably began to spin rapidly in the air.
“Lupa!!!”
“Xiao Xunbao~”
Listening to the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s screams, Xiao Xunbao appeared, one of its paw’s shadows connected to a shadow on the ground, continuing to draw circles, while its other paw covered its mouth, secretly chuckling.
It would have been better to just let it lick directly at first. It had to retract its head into its shell and even create all this sand, making it hard for me to get close. I could only use this move.
“This, this is Dark Shadow Control?!” The coach of Hanggang Sixth Yu Beast High School widened his eyes and said in disbelief, his voice somewhat distorted due to extreme shock: “Isn’t Dark Shadow Control a high-level skill?! How is that possible?!”
Chen Shengtang’s expression was pained, his voice hoarse: “Qiao Sang was almost a student of our school! Just a little bit!”
Coach: “…”
Are you never going to stop!
On the arena.
An invisible force controlled the Double-Tailed Tortoise, making it spin continuously in the air.
“Lupa…”
“Lu…”
The Double-Tailed Tortoise’s screams had also faded to silence.
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao stopped its paw movements.
The connected shadow on the ground separated.
“Bang!”
Without the shadow’s control, the Double-Tailed Tortoise fell heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Guo Jiasong snapped out of his shock with the loud thud.
W-what just happened?!
What kind of Ghost-type skill was that?!
He had never encountered it when he participated in the previous two National Campus Pet Beast League!
Qiao Sang’s expression was calm.
Dark Shadow Control was indeed a move that could be used as a trump card. Most people wouldn’t choose to reveal their trump card directly in the qualifiers.
However, she didn’t care, as she had more than one trump card.
There were many opponents to face later. The key for Xiao Xunbao in battle was to flexibly use skills in actual combat and correctly employ different moves according to the situation.
As for exposing Dark Shadow Control too early, that was secondary.
In the audience, a middle-aged man in black clothes stood up in a hurry, walked quickly to the outside of the arena, and nervously took out his phone to dial a number.
“Principal! Something bad has happened!”
