Chapter 373: Is this to show the power of bonds?

Upon hearing this, Huang Renbiao narrowed his eyes.

He felt that what this guy said was very likely about Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Flower evolving into a Guwei Sunflower.

He wasn’t particularly surprised by this.

After all, he hadn’t kept this matter a complete secret; teachers at the school were already spreading the word.

If Wang Weidou had the intention to inquire about Ding Yanjing’s information, with his capabilities, he would naturally be able to find out.

But even if he knew, what then? The school hadn’t made an official announcement, and even if the news spread, everyone would at most be half-believing.

When Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Sunflower finally appeared, the sense of shock would still be there.

As for targeted tactical plans against the Guwei Sunflower, he was even less concerned.

Ding Yanjing’s Guwei Sunflower was different from Ruan Yunwen’s Tonghua Owl; its regeneration ability and the tacit understanding between it and Ding Yanjing ensured it wouldn’t be played as miserably by the Treasure Hunting Fairy as the Tonghua Owl was.

Huang Renbiao looked at the Tonghua Owl, which had fallen to the ground and was still bound by Dark Shadow Control, struggling desperately, and a very clear thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

With Qiao Sang here, Saint Water Middle School might just suppress Li Tan Royal Pet High School in the next and the one after next National Campus Pet Beast League…

Huang Renbiao steadied his composure and said, “We didn’t deliberately hide anything; it’s just that the current opponents aren’t strong enough for Ding Yanjing to use all his moves.”

Heh.

“We didn’t deliberately hide anything…” Wang Weidou repeated the sentence sarcastically in his mind.

In the group stage, Ding Yanjing made Shanli Crow fight desperately for a week; did he think he was blind?!

Compared to the surging undercurrents in the leadership area, the audience in the back rows was much more genuine; they didn’t control their emotions at all.

“Oh my god! Dark Shadow Control?!”

“Holy cow, that’s amazing! To be able to use Substitute during the brief moment of Space Movement under such high-intensity attacks!”

“Are you sure this kid is a first-year high schooler? This doesn’t look like a Yu Beast Master newbie at all! She doesn’t even verbally command; she communicates directly with her Pet through eye contact! I couldn’t do that!”

“What a brilliant plan! First, she had Treasure Hunting Fairy use Taunt to enrage the Tonghua Owl, making it lose its mind and wildly expend a large amount of energy and stamina. Then, she used Substitute to make the opponent think they had won and relax their guard, and finally, she unleashed a big move to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. Brilliant!”

“That’s Dark Shadow Control! This must be Dark Shadow Control!”

“It is Dark Shadow Control! And it’s a 3D mode Dark Shadow Control!”

“Oh no, oh no, have I been out of school for too long? Why can Treasure Hunting Fairy ignore so many Sky Wind Blades and Space Movement to the Tonghua Owl?!”

“This shouldn’t be Space Movement, but rather, Space Movement…”

“Space, Space Movement?!”

“What’s going on? Two High-level skills?!”

Most of the people present were Yu Beast Masters; although not all chose the path of a Professional Beast Tamer, they understood what needed to be understood.

For an intermediate Pet to learn High-level skills, both talent and time are indispensable.

Without talent, no amount of time is useful, and without a certain amount of time, no matter how strong the talent, it’s useless.

Learning High-level skills has always been measured in years.

But what did they see now?

A 15-year-old high schooler’s Treasure Hunting Fairy learned two High-level skills?

Is this real?!

…

No matter how lively the atmosphere in the audience was, the atmosphere on the field remained somewhat solemn.

To become a Professional Beast Tamer, focusing on the competition and not being affected by the audience is an essential ability.

“Tonghua!!!”

The Tonghua Owl did not faint immediately after falling straight down from mid-air.

Although it was somewhat injured, judging by its continuous squawking and desperate wriggling to break free from the Dark Shadow Control’s binding force, its condition was still acceptable.

Qiao Sang understood the principle of “strike while the iron is hot.”

“Hypnosis!” Qiao Sang thought for a second and said loudly.

Xiao Xunbao was not like Yabao; it couldn’t simultaneously cast any skill.

If it were to launch an attack next, the Dark Shadow Control on the Tonghua Owl would definitely disappear. If this attack didn’t have a good effect, giving the Tonghua Owl a chance to counterattack, there might be unforeseen changes.

With the damage of all of Xiao Xunbao’s current offensive skills, none of them could directly incapacitate the Tonghua Owl. After thinking about it, the Profound Level Hypnosis was still the most effective.

As long as the proficiency of the two simultaneously cast skills was high enough, there would be no need to worry about the other skill not being cast.

“Xun!”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Xiao Xunbao floated in front of the Tonghua Owl.

“Close your eyes!” Just as Qiao Sang uttered the words “Hypnosis,” Ruan Yunwen quickly responded, steadying her mind.

“Tonghua!”

The Tonghua Owl’s entire body was still in a bristled state, its eyes full of anger, completely ignoring its Yu Beast Master’s words.

It opened its mouth, and a terrifying energy condensed within it.

Close its eyes?

No.

It wanted to attack!

As soon as the words were spoken, the Dark Shadow Control binding the Tonghua Owl’s body rapidly extended a black shadow, firmly binding its mouth.

The Tonghua Owl’s eyes widened, its mouth making muffled sounds, struggling even more fiercely.

“Quickly close your eyes!” Ruan Yunwen’s voice was tinged with a sob.

Hearing this sound, the Tonghua Owl froze for a moment, its rationality finally returning a little. It struggled internally for a bit, preparing to close its eyes.

Just then, the Dark Shadow Control binding the Tonghua Owl’s mouth extended two more black shadows, forcibly prying open its eyelids, which had not yet fully closed.

“Woo woo!” The Tonghua Owl immediately cursed in anger.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth and chuckled, looking at the large creature in front of it.

It didn’t forget its Yu Beast Master’s words. After a laugh, its eyes turned purple, and it showed a serious expression.

The Tonghua Owl felt drowsiness creeping in, and its gaze began to scatter.

At the same time, the two black shadows supporting the Tonghua Owl’s eyelids retracted.

The Tonghua Owl closed its eyes, tilted its head, and fell asleep.

The audience was noisy, with discussions rising and falling.

“Even if the Tonghua Owl was not in peak condition, it wasn’t on the verge of collapsing, so how could it have been hypnotized by the Treasure Hunting Fairy?”

“It should wake up soon, after all, it’s a High-level Pet…”

“This Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Dark Shadow Control and Hypnosis proficiency are both very high…”

“I know! This kid from Saint Water Middle School must have contracted an elderly Treasure Hunting Fairy! Otherwise, two High-level skills with such high proficiency simply don’t make sense!”

“Nonsense! Look how tender this Treasure Hunting Fairy is; it’s clearly still a child.”

On the field.

Ruan Yunwen looked at the sleeping Tonghua Owl, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Did she lose just like that?

This was her last National Campus Pet Beast League.

The remaining Double-Tailed Tortoise simply couldn’t win against Qiao Sang.

It was so hard to get the Tonghua Owl to listen to her, but why…

No, she wasn’t reconciled!

Ruan Yunwen suddenly shouted emotionally, “Datong! Wake up! You promised to win until the end with me! You promised!”

This voice seemed to penetrate the haze and reached the Tonghua Owl’s ears.

The Tonghua Owl’s eyelids twitched slightly.

In the live broadcast, the close-up shot of the Tonghua Owl was clearly imprinted in the audience’s eyes.

[Look at those twitching eyelids, it seems it’s about to wake up]

[High-level Pet is indeed a High-level Pet. This Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Hypnosis can be used with Dark Shadow Control, clearly indicating high proficiency, yet it can wake up so quickly.]

[Why isn’t Qiao Sang taking the opportunity to attack! I’m so anxious!]

[It feels like there’s still a fight to be had. Even if Qiao Sang attacks now, the Tonghua Owl will probably only get a little injured, but it will wake up.]

[The gap between intermediate Pets and High-level Pets is truly not just talk. If it were an intermediate Pet, it would probably have been played to death by the Treasure Hunting Fairy long ago.]

Both the live audience and those watching the broadcast felt that the competition wouldn’t end just like that.

…

At the Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.

Goodness, is this to awaken the Tonghua Owl by demonstrating the power of their bond… Qiao Sang’s eyelids twitched. She remembered some analysis she had read in a post about Xu Yixuan’s Dream Guiding Spirit and said,

“Throw it out of the arena.”

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao extended its short toes, and the shadow binding the Tonghua Owl quickly moved down to the ground.

The shadow was still connected to the Tonghua Owl, but it had transformed from 3D mode to 2D mode.

Then, Xiao Xunbao lightly hooked its short toes, and the shadow pulled and tugged, dragging the Tonghua Owl outside the designated boundaries of the competition area.

Just as the Tonghua Owl was dragged out of the arena, its eyes slowly opened.

At the same time, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.

The audience was silent, and the live stream screen was temporarily devoid of bullet comments.

PS: It seems I’ve gotten used to releasing the previous day’s text together on the next day these past few days. I’ll try to adjust back in the next two days!
