Chapter 387: so studious

Control Scale Puppet…

Qiao Sang carefully observed the Pet summoned by Wang Rui.

A few months ago, when she first battled Control Scale Puppet with Tooth Treasure, she felt a sense of dread, but now there was no ripple of emotion; her mindset was completely different.

Superpower System Pet, just like Little Qunbao, it’s a glass cannon. It just depends on who attacks the other first…

Just then, the whistle signaling the start of the battle sounded.

Qiao Sang immediately shouted, “Get close to it and use Hypnosis!”

Her voice was so loud that Wang Rui on the other side heard it clearly.

Wang Rui quickly issued the corresponding command:

“Don’t let it get close!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Treasure Hunting Fairy disappear from its spot and reappear in front of the Control Scale Puppet.

Even though he knew that given the Control Scale Puppet’s strength, it was impossible for the Treasure Hunting Fairy to succeed so easily, Wang Rui still involuntarily tensed up.

The shadows Qiao Sang had cast over him from watching her matches during this period were simply too great…

The Control Scale Puppet showed no panic, using Teleportation to create a distance of several meters.

Immediately after, it extended its short claws, and several colored rays of light mixed together shot rapidly towards Little Qunbao’s position.

Little Qunbao grinned, then disappeared from sight by turning invisible.

“Bang!”

Illusion Ray hit the ground, sending stones flying.

“Mental Sense!” Wang Rui immediately shouted upon seeing this.

Mental Sense, a mid-level sensory skill of Superpower System Pets, allows them to perceive different mental fluctuations of surrounding creatures through their mental power, thereby determining their location, including invisible Ghost-type Pets, but it only works on living beings.

As expected, he used this move… Qiao Sang had studied Wang Rui’s information and naturally knew that his Control Scale Puppet had Mental Sense.

Unfortunately, sensing also takes time.

The Control Scale Puppet closed its eyes, and an invisible energy spread out from it as a central point, covering 360 degrees without any blind spots.

When the energy spread to half a meter in front, the Control Scale Puppet suddenly opened its eyes.

Because it sensed that its opponent was right in front of it!

It was fine when it could be seen initially, but suddenly sensing the opponent appearing in front of it when it couldn’t be seen truly startled the Control Scale Puppet.

It wasn’t that it hadn’t battled Ghost-type Pets before, but never once had an opponent been sensed so close to it.

“Control Scale!”

The Control Scale Puppet showed a startled expression and tried to use Teleportation, but found that it couldn’t move at all.

Little Qunbao reappeared, its claw glowing with a blue light pointing upwards.

An invisible force was tightly binding the Control Scale Puppet, preventing it from using Teleportation.

Could it be that the Control Scale Puppet’s mental power couldn’t break free from the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s psychic power…? Wang Rui’s heart sank, and he immediately recalled Qiao Sang’s command at the beginning of the match, “Get close to it and use Hypnosis.”

He remembered the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Hypnosis; it was a skill that even the High-level Pet Tonghua Owl had fallen victim to!

Wang Rui’s expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a panic:

“Close your eyes!”

The Control Scale Puppet heard its Yu Beast Master’s words and immediately closed its eyes.

“Pfft~”

Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Wang Rui heard the laughter and was momentarily confused; he didn’t understand what Qiao Sang was laughing about.

As this doubt arose from the bottom of his heart, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Wang Rui suddenly looked up at the sky.

He saw that the blue light on the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s short toes had already dissipated.

The Control Scale Puppet, no longer controlled by psychic power, still foolishly remained in its original spot with its eyes closed.

The Treasure Hunting Fairy’s right claw was raised high, with a white energy condensing above it.

Wang Rui looked up and saw this scene before him.

Holy crap! Chop?!

Wang Rui’s face was full of disbelief. Wasn’t this a Fighting-type skill?!

“Quick, dodge!”

Accompanied by Wang Rui’s loud shout, Little Qunbao mercilessly chopped down at the Control Scale Puppet, which had its eyes closed.

“Control Scale!!!”

The Control Scale Puppet instantly plummeted downwards.

Before the Control Scale Puppet could hit the ground, a Shadow Ball, about twenty centimeters in size, directly struck its body from above.

“Bang!!”

The Control Scale Puppet crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up dust.

When the stirred-up dust cleared, everyone saw the Control Scale Puppet with its eyes closed.

“Qu!”

With the whistle, the announcer’s voice on the broadcast declared:

“Saint Water Middle School’s Qiao Sang wins!”

Wang Rui looked at the girl opposite him and suddenly understood something, saying with a complex expression:

“That ‘Get close to it and use Hypnosis’ you said at the beginning, you deliberately said it so loudly for me to hear, just so that when the Treasure Hunting Fairy got close to the Control Scale Puppet, I would give the wrong command…”

Qiao Sang nodded, modestly saying, “I was also inspired by Huang Kaijun.”

Ever since she witnessed Huang Kaijun’s tactics, she felt they were very suitable for Little Qunbao, so she mentioned this plan to Little Qunbao yesterday, and she didn’t expect the effect to be so good…

Wang Rui was completely convinced. Facing an opponent with such strong abilities and who was so eager to learn, his loss was not unjust.

While the two were talking, the people in the stands were also discussing.

“Hahaha, I knew Qiao Sang’s initial words were definitely intentional. She basically didn’t give her Pet commands in the previous matches, but in this match, not only did she give commands, she also spoke so loudly and clearly, as if afraid her opponent wouldn’t hear her.”

“Chop! Did you just see it? That Treasure Hunting Fairy actually used Chop!”

“That’s truly amazing, even a Ghost-type Pet can be taught Chop…”

“Hiss… I suddenly thought of a possibility, this Treasure Hunting Fairy wouldn’t also have Fighting-type attributes, would it?!”

“You really dare to imagine…”

“So cunning, truly cunning… A good prospect for a Professional Beast Tamer…”

“Although it’s a high school competition, I really enjoy watching Qiao Sang battle. It’s a shame it’s her last day of matches in the province.”

According to the battle roster arranged by the system, the person who loses in the first round will battle Xu Yixuan, while the person who wins in the second round will battle the winner of the first round, which is Qiao Sang, in the third round to determine who is first and who is second.

…

As soon as Little Qunbao left the arena, it eagerly took off its ring and pulled out a diamond-studded glove from inside to put on.

According to the competition rules, Pets are not allowed to wear any tools or decorative items on their bodies during the match.

This was unavoidable.

Initially, the competition rules only required Pets not to carry tools into the arena, but there were always some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Once, during a Yu Beast Master’s match, his Pet always wore a pair of glasses, claiming to be severely nearsighted.

As a result, his acquaintance revealed that it wasn’t a pair of glasses at all, but rather glasses specifically designed to detect energy fluctuations.

The effect of such high-tech glasses was neither great nor small; they couldn’t detect invisible Ghost-type Pets, but if the opponent used clones, they could accurately locate the main body based on energy fluctuations.

There were many similar examples, which led to larger competitions later adding a rule prohibiting the wearing of any decorative items.

I was wrong, I thought I could finish it in one chapter.
