Chapter 389: You wouldn’t lose on purpose, right? (repair)

Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena.

The broadcast voice from the loudspeaker rang out: “Saint Water Middle School’s Qiao Sang, Saint Water Middle School’s Xu Yixuan, please enter the arena!”

Both finalists were from his own school; this feeling was truly satisfying… Wang Weidou straightened his back, his smile widening.

Beside him, Sun Boyi was looking down, scrolling on his phone.

Wang Weidou turned his head to look at him: “You’re still on your phone even though it’s a competition.”

Sun Boyi said: “The awards ceremony is about to start, and I suddenly realized I don’t have a decent outfit.”

Wang Weidou was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his own attire.

It was clearly formal wear that he had specifically put on before coming, but thinking about the upcoming awards ceremony, he felt that what he was wearing now didn’t seem quite right.

In previous award ceremonies, the most camera time went to the first-place winner, and interviews were basically all with Huang Renbiao.

Speaking of which, Qiao Sang was now in first place, and he was the principal. Soon, the two major satellite channels would probably interview him just like they interviewed Huang Renbiao back then, and he would get a few minutes of close-up shots…

Wang Weidou’s expression slowly began to change. He thought for a moment and asked: “What does your clothes have to do with you looking at your phone?”

Sun Boyi replied: “I’m ordering online right now. Didi Express, as long as it’s in the same city, guarantees delivery within 10 minutes of placing the order.”

Wang Weidou scrutinized him: “Are you sure?”

“Positive.” Sun Boyi said: “You must always buy from physical stores. If you have a chance, try ordering on your phone and you’ll see.”

That’s what I was waiting for… Wang Weidou nodded slightly:

“Right now then. Once you’ve bought yours, hand me your phone. I’ll pick out an outfit to wear too.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Boyi looked Wang Weidou up and down, then asked in confusion: “Principal, aren’t you dressed quite handsomely right now?”

Wang Weidou said earnestly: “Whether it’s handsome or not isn’t important. What’s important is that I want to try out the ten-minute delivery service.”

Sun Boyi: “…”

…

On the field.

Xu Yixuan took a deep breath.

She remembered that two years ago, when the two major satellite channels broadcasted simultaneously, her family would gather together, cracking melon seeds and watching her competition on TV.

This year should be no exception…

It’s decided, at least I can’t lose too badly… Xu Yixuan had a serious expression, her hands forming a seal, and she summoned her Dream Guiding Spirit.

Qiao Sang summoned Xiao Xunbao.

A Treasure Hunting Fairy… Xu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Pet in front of her.

Among Qiao Sang’s three Pets, the one she most hoped to encounter was the Treasure Hunting Fairy. It wasn’t that she was confident of winning, but with the Liao Xing Hound, there was nothing but abuse, and battling Ice Dew Qiya required strong mental preparation. Although it was a competition, there was always a sense of crisis that she might end up in the bureau at any time.

Compared to them, the Treasure Hunting Fairy was better…

“Yinyin…”

“Xun…”

The Dream Guiding Spirit and Xiao Xunbao looked at each other.

“qu!”

The whistle blew.

“Hypnosis!”

“Dream Induction!”

Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan issued commands simultaneously.

Using Hypnosis directly…

Xu Yixuan was stunned for a moment.

She thought Qiao Sang would have the Treasure Hunting Fairy use Teleportation first to get close to the Dream Guiding Spirit.

After all, having watched so many matches, the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s first move was basically always like that. She had wasted so much time thinking that as soon as the Treasure Hunting Fairy got close, she would have the Dream Guiding Spirit lead it into a dream… Sure enough, Qiao Sang’s thoughts were not that easy to guess…

Even though they were from the same school and School Team, it was ultimately an individual battle, and everyone had a tacit understanding not to inquire about private matters like skill proficiency.

However, proficiency was easy to judge; each stage was explained and divided in detail in the skill-related textbooks.

Xu Yixuan knew that the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Hypnosis proficiency was very high, but she wasn’t sure which stage it had reached.

While Xu Yixuan was pondering, the Dream Guiding Spirit and Xiao Xunbao looked at each other from a distance.

One Pet’s eyes glowed red, and the other’s eyes glowed purple.

Dream Induction ability against Hypnosis, under the same level, the Dream Induction ability should have the upper hand. The Dream Guiding Spirit’s Dream Induction ability, she wasn’t boasting, as long as a Pet of the same rank was hit, it would basically be defeated… Xu Yixuan’s thoughts returned, she looked at the calm-faced Qiao Sang, then thought of something and suddenly froze.

Speaking of which, the Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Hypnosis seemed to have hypnotized a Tonghua Owl… But at that time, the Tonghua Owl had been struggling for a long time and was already in a very poor state. In that situation, it was possible for the Dream Guiding Spirit to lead the Tonghua Owl into a dream for a period of time…

“Bang!”

Although many thoughts had already gone through Xu Yixuan’s mind, in reality, only three seconds had passed. Just as Xu Yixuan thought of this, the Dream Guiding Spirit closed its eyes, fell from mid-air, and crashed to the ground.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth, chuckling.

Xu Yixuan: “!!!”

“Nightmare King!” Xu Yixuan cried out in pain.

This… The audience was silent.

Three seconds, just three seconds…

Even though this was just a high school competition, it was still a provincial final. They had never expected such a scene to occur. If word got out, other provinces would surely laugh at them…

“Well, I think it’s not really Xu Yixuan’s fault. Dream Induction and Hypnosis, maybe she didn’t expect to lose…” someone in the audience said, trying to save face.

Xu Yixuan’s confirmed participation in the divisional competition represented the face of their Zhehai Province.

It was okay to lose, but not to lose in such a socially humiliating way!

She had to make up for it!

“I agree. Perhaps this Treasure Hunting Fairy is quite a bit older than the Dream Guiding Spirit, plus it has a Superpower System attribute, so its mental power must be far superior…”

“Hmm… That makes sense…”

…

On the field, after her grief, Xu Yixuan’s face couldn’t help but slowly turn red.

Just thinking about the previous match, she felt an unprecedented level of embarrassment and social death.

She had battled Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy in school before, but she had never lost like this…

“qu!”

Amidst the whistle, the second match quickly began.

Xu Yixuan steadied her emotions, suppressed her shame, and summoned her Burning Fire Dog.

The Burning Fire Dog and Xiao Xunbao had battled in school; they were old rivals.

Almost as soon as the whistle signaling the start of the match blew, the Burning Fire Dog opened its mouth, and a flame containing violent energy shot towards Xiao Xunbao’s direction.

Xiao Xunbao did not dodge. Instead, it raised its short toes, and a Light Wall less than half a meter tall quickly formed in front of it.

The flame surged against the Light Wall, temporarily blocked.

Because the ejected flame was wide enough, and Xiao Xunbao and the Light Wall it created were too small, from Xu Yixuan’s perspective, it looked completely like the flame was being blocked, and Xiao Xunbao’s figure was not visible at all.

Why didn’t it use Teleportation to dodge directly… Xu Yixuan felt something was off.

Just then, the flame broke through, the Light Wall shattered, and the scorching flame wildly enveloped Xiao Xunbao.

Seeing this scene, the people in the audience began to whisper.

“Qiao Sang isn’t intentionally trying to lose a round, is she?”

“Possibly, after all, they’re from the same school. She might not want the other side to lose too badly.”

“Can it be any worse than the last round…?”

“Even if she were letting her win, it wouldn’t be so blatant. If the Treasure Hunting Fairy lost the match because of that one hit, anyone with eyes would know it’s a fix.”

On the field.

Something’s wrong, this is too wrong… Xu Yixuan’s internal alarm bells rang loudly.

Please, this is Qiao Sang the pervert!

Her Treasure Hunting Fairy was a Pet whose movements were extremely elusive; even Ding Yanjing’s Shanli Crow couldn’t keep up with its speed for a while. How could it be hit by the Burning Fire Dog’s flame with one attack?

There’s a conspiracy! Absolutely a conspiracy!

Just then, the raging flames dissipated, and in mid-air, there was no trace of the Treasure Hunting Fairy!

It’s a Substitute… Xu Yixuan’s face changed, and she urgently said: “Be careful!”

Tsk, her reaction has improved… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
