Chapter 331: Communicate in advance

Ghost fires attacked from all directions, seemingly unavoidable, yet a gap was left open.

Qiao Sang looked at the position above Lu Bao and shouted without hesitation, “Jump!”

Lu Bao forcefully flicked its tail against the ground, used its four limbs, and leaped up suddenly.

“Bang!!!”

More than a dozen ghost fires collided, making a huge sound.

Seeing this, Xu Yixuan was delighted.

It’s stable!

The purpose of releasing the ghost fires was not to attack Ice Dew Qiya, but to make it jump to the position she intentionally left open!

The list for daily group matches was announced the day before, so she naturally knew she would be facing Qiao Sang today.

After a period of training together, she clearly understood that Qiao Sang’s strength was terrifyingly abnormal. If she hadn’t prepared in advance, she feared the battle rhythm would be completely dictated by Qiao Sang from start to finish.

Although she felt the chances of Qiao Sang deploying Ice Dew Qiya in the group stage were almost non-existent, to be cautious, she still arranged a set of tactics to deal with Ice Dew Qiya last night.

Ice Dew Qiya is an endangered Pet; if it gets even a little injured, she might end up at the Police Station.

Moreover, Ice Dew Qiya has Healing Light, so to win, she would have to deal a direct heavy blow causing unconsciousness. If she were to go to such extremes, the risk of going to the Police Station would be too great.

The only gentle way to win was to have Dream Guiding Spirit lead it into a dream, and then drag it out—no, carry it out of the designated competition area!

As soon as Lu Bao jumped into mid-air, Dream Guiding Spirit suddenly appeared in front of it, its eyes glowing with an eerie red light.

Seeing this scene, the audience members spoke up one after another.

“Oh my! This Dream Guiding Spirit was clearly waiting at this spot for Ice Dew Qiya to jump!”

“This move is Dream Induction, right? I heard that getting hit by this move is pretty much the same as losing.”

“To escape the residual range of the ghost fires, it has to jump high. Xu Yixuan clearly calculated this and had Dream Guiding Spirit wait in advance. Given Ice Dew Qiya’s current height, it would take at least two seconds to land, which is enough time to cast Dream Induction.”

“No! If my Ice Dew Qiya enters a dream, it will fall directly and be in great pain!”

“Wait, look! This Ice Dew Qiya’s eyes seem to be closed!”

On the field, Ice Dew Qiya, soaring in mid-air, had its eyes tightly shut, not making eye contact with Dream Guiding Spirit’s red eyes at all!

“Fine Snow,” Qiao Sang said at this moment.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao secretly opened one eye, confirmed the opponent was right in front, then quickly closed it again. With a gasp, white snow crystals instantly froze the Dream Guiding Spirit, which was less than 10 centimeters away.

Logically, Fine Snow is a low-level skill, and as an intermediate Pet, Dream Guiding Spirit should be able to break free from the ice with a slight struggle. However, the distance was too close; it was practically offering its head to be frozen.

Coupled with the vastly improved proficiency, Dream Guiding Spirit was momentarily unable to break free from the freeze.

Due to the angle, Xu Yixuan did not see that Lu Bao’s eyes were closed. When she saw Dream Guiding Spirit frozen, her mood immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.

That’s why people should never be overly joyful, otherwise, sadness can easily follow.

Dream Induction didn’t work on Ice Dew Qiya?! Xu Yixuan didn’t have time to ponder where the problem lay and shouted, “Ghost fire!”

The frozen Dream Guiding Spirit, which had fallen to the ground, twitched its claws slightly.

Just then, Lu Bao, who had already opened its eyes, swung its tail, and a large amount of water instantly gathered at its tail.

The next second, the tail, wrapped in blue water, fiercely swung towards Dream Guiding Spirit.

“Bang!!!”

The ice instantly shattered into pieces, and ice shards flew everywhere. Dream Guiding Spirit was impacted and flew back about ten meters before finally stopping.

“King of Nightmares!” Xu Yixuan cried out sadly.

“Yin yin…”

Dream Guiding Spirit opened its eyes and moved with difficulty.

It is well known that Ghost-type Pets are fragile.

But Xu Yixuan’s training methods were unknown, as Dream Guiding Spirit, despite taking such a massive frontal attack, did not immediately fall. Instead, it staggered to its feet, dragging its injured body.

At this moment, the audience present were all somewhat touched.

“Don’t tell me, this Dream Guiding Spirit’s defense is a bit thicker compared to other Ghost-type Pets.”

“I wonder if Ice Dew Qiya’s tail hurts from hitting so hard.”

“By the way, aren’t you curious why Ice Dew Qiya’s eyes were closed just now?”

“Why else? Qiao Sang must have told it beforehand.”

“This Dream Guiding Spirit is quite resilient. Last time I saw a Ghost-type Pet crying so miserably while hugging its Yu Beast Master. Later, I asked, and it turned out it wasn’t full.”

“After all, Xu Yixuan achieved third place in the provincial competition last time. How could Dream Guiding Spirit, feared by so many, be defeated so quickly?” a man with a “bureaucratic face” in the audience said.

“qu!”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.

“Winner, Saint Water Middle School’s Qiao Sang!”

It turned out that the position where Dream Guiding Spirit had been sent flying was already outside the designated competition area.

The man with the “bureaucratic face” felt a stampede of horses in his heart; he hated being proven wrong so quickly!

Qiao Sang also felt a stampede of horses in her heart.

Why did it fly out of the arena?!

Point!

Her Point!

Qiao Sang looked at Dream Guiding Spirit, who was bewildered after hearing it had lost, with a look of disappointment.

Perhaps because she had been staring for a long time.

Dream Guiding Spirit slowly turned its head to look.

One person and one Pet met eyes.

Why are you so unpromising, why did you fly so far? Qiao Sang sighed as she looked at it.

“Yin.”

Dream Guiding Spirit inexplicably understood the meaning, and the breath it had been holding in, already strained, was cut off by anger.

Its eyes closed.

It fainted.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. If it fainted now, that Point should still be added to Lu Bao, right?

After the match, Qiao Sang carried Lu Bao back to the audience.

This caused constant commotion among the audience, their eyes involuntarily glancing towards the front row, none of them in the mood to continue watching the match.

“Was Ice Dew Qiya’s eyes closed when it jumped just now?” Xu Yixuan held it in for a long time but finally couldn’t resist asking.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Did you arrange this beforehand?” Xu Yixuan asked, “I didn’t hear you giving commands during the match.”

Qiao Sang said “Mhm”:

“Yesterday, I just told Lu Bao that if it was forced to move and couldn’t see Dream Guiding Spirit’s movements, to be ready to close its eyes at any time. Lu Bao understood everything quickly on its own.”

The forum analysis of Xu Yixuan’s strategies specifically warned not to make eye contact with Dream Guiding Spirit for more than two seconds, so of course, she had communicated with Lu Bao beforehand.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao let out a cool cry, indicating that this was just a basic operation.

One step behind, Xu Yixuan sighed inwardly. Suddenly remembering something, she glanced at Ice Dew Qiya in Qiao Sang’s arms, then hesitated before cautiously asking, “I’m the losing side, so I shouldn’t have to go to the Police Station, right?”

Qiao Sang: “…”
