Chapter 404: Qiao Sang VS Tang Zhongyi (2-in-1)

Jaw Electric Bug, an intermediate Pet with both Bug and Electric-type attributes from the Lianke region, excels at disrupting opponents with acrobatic Flying, then seizing the moment of their timidity to unleash Electric Beam… Qiao Sang looked at the yellow-eyed, large-jawed Bug-type Pet in front of her, its information surfacing in her mind.

Almost as soon as the battle was announced, the Jaw Electric Bug launched its attack first.

At this stage of the divisional competition, Pets attacking before their Yu Beast Master even speaks usually indicates a pre-determined battle plan.

“Jaw!”

Yellow electric arcs shot from the Jaw Electric Bug’s mouth towards where Ice Dew Qiya was located.

Ice Dew Qiya’s figure flickered, constantly changing direction to dodge the attacks.

The lightning struck the ground, blasting shallow pits into the arena.

The audience was in an uproar, their expressions constantly changing in the short few seconds since the battle began.

“The opponent’s Pet has Electric-type attributes, what should we do?”

“Holy cow, this lightning wants to strike Ice Dew Qiya dead, right? So ruthless! Where’s the Staff? Staff!”

“Oh, as expected of Ice Dew Qiya, most Water-type Pets slow down when moving on the ground, but look, it doesn’t!”

“It’s not fair! Why isn’t it a Water-type arena! In our Ancient Mist region, the arena should be in the water!”

On the field, Ice Dew Qiya had already broken through the dense offensive and closed the distance with the Jaw Electric Bug.

According to the data, Ice Dew Qiya’s close-range attack is Water Tail. At this distance, it should be trying to use this move. It’s too late to counter with an Electric-type move, but with the Jaw Electric Bug’s biting force, it should be able to directly Bite Ice Dew Qiya’s tail.

But if he really did that, would he be able to leave this battle arena?

Maybe it’s better to just dodge, but this is a competition, and if he really dodges, will he just not attack next… Tang Zhongyi’s brain was like an overloaded CPU, almost burning out.

“Bite!” Just as Ice Dew Qiya was only half a meter away from the Jaw Electric Bug, Tang Zhongyi instinctively gave the command.

This was an instinct developed from long-term battle training.

But the moment he spoke, Tang Zhongyi regretted it.

Who gave him the courage to make the Jaw Electric Bug Bite Ice Dew Qiya?!

Ice Dew Qiya could dodge electric shocks, but how could it dodge a tail that was offered up?

It’s over, it’s over! I won’t die at 17, right… All sorts of thoughts popped into Tang Zhongyi’s mind, and panic surged like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said, “Ice Claw.”

“Dew.”

Ice Dew Qiya raised its claw high, and a chilling power instantly condensed on its claw, transforming into a terrifying tearing weapon, mercilessly striking towards the Jaw Electric Bug.

At the same time, the Jaw Electric Bug opened its mouth and bit down without hesitation towards the Ice Claw coming straight at it.

Then, it froze.

“Jaw…”

So cold, so hard…

In that moment of愣神, the cold Ice surged, and the Jaw Electric Bug retreated several meters, its mouth covered with a thin layer of Ice.

Seeing this scene, the audience instantly erupted.

“Beautiful!”

“Still want to Bite Ice Dew Qiya! Serves you right!”

“Ice Dew Qiya, you are the best!”

In Qiao Sang’s battle videos, Ice Dew Qiya mostly used Water-type moves, he almost forgot it also knew Ice-type skills… Tang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death.

The Jaw Electric Bug bit hard with its mouth, and the Ice in its mouth instantly shattered.

“Jaw!”

Then, it turned and let out a loud cry to its Yu Beast Master.

Tang Zhongyi froze for a moment, then his disturbed thoughts gradually calmed down.

What was he doing? Losing or not was another matter, he had finally made it this far, and he was actually worried about hurting the opponent!

“Fly up!” Prompted by the Jaw Electric Bug, Tang Zhongyi quickly adjusted his mindset.

Just as Tang Zhongyi was adjusting his mindset, Ice Dew Qiya’s Icy Wind had already been unleashed.

The Jaw Electric Bug flapped its wings, and just as it left the ground, a bone-chilling cold wind appeared before its eyes.

The Jaw Electric Bug sensed danger and its speed suddenly increased.

But it was too late, its right wing was still hit by the cold wind, freezing a thin layer of Ice on it.

Tang Zhongyi’s heart sank. The Jaw Electric Bug’s specialty was relying on acrobatic Flying to disrupt opponents.

Now that its wing was injured, its Flying speed would definitely slow down. How could it make the opponent timid now…

“Jaw!”

As soon as he said “Fly up,” it meant to use Flying to disrupt the opponent. This was the secret signal between it and its Yu Beast Master.

The Jaw Electric Bug endured the discomfort and increased the frequency of its wing flapping.

Qiao Sang looked at the arena, only to see the Jaw Electric Bug constantly changing its Flying direction flexibly. Whenever it seemed to be approaching Ice Dew Qiya, it would turn around again, as if playing a trick.

Tsk, if the Jaw Electric Bug’s wings weren’t injured, under high-speed Flying, although it wouldn’t be able to make Ice Dew Qiya timid, there really would be a chance to put some psychological pressure on Ice Dew Qiya… Qiao Sang thought calmly.

“Dew.”

Ice Dew Qiya looked at the Jaw Electric Bug constantly Flying around it, its expression as aloof as ever.

This is too calm… Tang Zhongyi stared intently at Ice Dew Qiya’s unchanging expression, unable to find a suitable attacking opportunity for a long time.

Just then, Ice Dew Qiya suddenly sprayed Fine Snow towards a certain direction in the air.

At that time, the Jaw Electric Bug was still Flying.

The next second, everyone saw the Jaw Electric Bug foolishly Flying towards the direction where Ice Dew Qiya had just sprayed Fine Snow.

Among all of Ice Dew Qiya’s Ice-type skills, Fine Snow had the highest proficiency.

White snow crystals fell on the Jaw Electric Bug, instantly freezing its entire body.

“Tang Dabug!” Tang Zhongyi shouted loudly.

“Water Tail.” Qiao Sang looked at the frozen Jaw Electric Bug, feeling a little uneasy, and decided to let Ice Dew Qiya deliver another blow.

“Dew.”

Ice Dew Qiya leaped up, and a Water Jet instantly enveloped its tail.

“Bang!”

The tail wrapped in Water Jet struck the Jaw Electric Bug, directly slamming it onto the ground.

The Ice cracked slightly, and in the huge holographic display, everyone saw the fainted Jaw Electric Bug.

In the audience, cheers erupted, and there were quite a few people excitedly embracing each other.

“Ah ah ah ah ah! Ice Dew Qiya won!”

“I knew it! I knew it!”

“Ah! Ah! Ice Dew Qiya is so cool! I love it!”

“Won! Won!”

Anyone who didn’t know, just by looking at this scene, would have thought it was a scene of victory in a certain interstellar competition.

…

In the contestant area, except for Sun Boyi and the Ancient Mist region’s coach, all the other coaches frowned deeply.

“This Ice Dew Qiya seems to be able to predict the Jaw Electric Bug’s Flying trajectory.”

“How is that possible? That Jaw Electric Bug was Flying erratically.” The person next to him was full of disbelief.

Predicting the opponent’s next move is usually something only Superpower System Pets can do. Even with exceptional insight, it shouldn’t be something a high school student’s Pet can do.

“Or it has a skill related to vision, causing the Jaw Electric Bug’s speed to appear slowed down in its eyes.”

The person next to him fell silent.

If Ice Dew Qiya had a vision-related skill, it really might be possible.

Even if it’s not that the speed is slowed down in its eyes, but rather that its vision is superior, allowing it to clearly see the opponent’s movement trajectory, when the opponent just changes direction and flies less than a meter towards a certain spot, it is indeed possible to predict the opponent’s next position, as within such a short time, they would certainly still be in the same general area.

The person thought for a moment, took out the tablet he carried with him, opened a file, turned to the page for Yu Hua region contestant Qiao Sang, and wrote:

[Ice Dew Qiya’s eyes are unusual]

…

The first match ended, but the countdown to summon the next Pet did not immediately appear.

Instead, a super exciting BGM began to play, its grandeur and power truly shocking.

Qiao Sang silently massaged her forehead. This BGM was an interlude from a war movie, representing victory in war.

It was just a battle between intermediate Pets, it didn’t fit at all…

“Friends! Was the previous match exciting?!” Yi Ao held the microphone, interacting excitedly.

“Exciting!” the audience shouted in unison.

“Tell me! Who just won?!” Yi Ao continued to interact.

“Ice Dew Qiya!!!” The audience’s voices echoed throughout the entire battle arena.

“Dew…”

It was the first time Ice Dew Qiya had heard so many people shout its name in unison.

It paused for a moment and glanced towards the audience.

With just that one glance, the audience instantly exploded again.

“Holy cow! Was our voice too loud and scared it just now?”

“Ahhh! Ice Dew Qiya looked at us!”

“Damn it, I knew I should have bought tickets for C Area!”

“Ah! I bought the wrong ticket! I shouldn’t have bought the first row!”

Yi Ao suddenly felt a bit depressed that he was a host, he was standing too high up, Ice Dew Qiya couldn’t see him at all!

“Teacher Yi, follow the procedure!” The Staff’s voice came through his earpiece.

Yi Ao steadied himself, held the microphone, and said loudly:

“Next up is the final match of this morning, let’s count down, shall we?!”

“3!”

“2!”

As the audience counted down, Qiao Sang pondered the upcoming situation.

According to the data, Tang Zhongyi’s Pet now only had Guangguangcao left.

Guangguangcao, an intermediate Grass-type Pet from the Lianke region, like the Jaw Electric Bug just now, also countered Ice Dew Qiya in some respects.

Qiao Sang had an urge to switch out Ice Dew Qiya, but seeing the fervent audience, she felt it would be somewhat unethical to switch out the highly anticipated Ice Dew Qiya on the very first day.

Especially since her ears were sharp, and she heard many people cry after seeing Ice Dew Qiya.

Forget it, we still have an Ice-type… Qiao Sang gave up the idea of switching out Ice Dew Qiya.

“1!”

As the countdown ended, the final match began.

Guangguangcao can absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. Fortunately, the ceiling is enclosed, so sunlight can’t get in… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she looked at the mostly yellow Pet in front of her.

Ice Dew Qiya was the first to spray Water Gun.

A thick Water Gun shot straight towards Guangguangcao.

Why isn’t it using Ice-type skills? Water-type skills clearly don’t cause much damage… Tang Zhongyi responded, “Dodge, use Green Field!”

Water Gun sprays in a straight line, and Guangguangcao easily dodged it by jumping three steps to the side.

“Guangguang!”

Immediately after, Guangguangcao let out a cry, and its two feet emitted a tender green light.

This light penetrated the ground, covering more than half of the arena in front of Guangguangcao in the blink of an eye.

Green Field can restore a small amount of stamina to all Pets standing on the ground, and additionally, the power of Grass-type skills can be increased by 30%.

Ice Dew Qiya has Healing Light, and Green Field restores stamina, not energy, so it has little effect on Ice Dew Qiya.

The biggest beneficiary is still Guangguangcao… Qiao Sang made a swift decision, still deciding to follow the previous arrangement:

“Water Fusion!”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Ice Dew Qiya leaped forward and disappeared.

Using Water-type skills was not for attacking, but for concealing its whereabouts.

At this stage of the divisional competition, if one is attentive, they can learn about any special characteristic an opponent’s Pet has used in previous matches.

Tang Zhongyi was not surprised by Ice Dew Qiya’s Water Fusion.

He decisively said, “Grass Knot!”

Guangguangcao closed its eyes.

Qiao Sang felt a slight sense of crisis, unsure if it was due to Green Field enhancing Grass-type skills or simply because she had only seen Grass-type Pets use Grass Knot in videos.

Grass Knot, an intermediate Grass-type skill, can cause knotted grass to suddenly emerge from the ground, tripping the opponent and causing damage.

The heavier the opponent’s weight, the stronger the power.

Logically, Ice Dew Qiya is currently dissolved in water, in a liquid state, so Guangguangcao using this move should be ineffective.

Could it be that it can sense where Ice Dew Qiya will emerge and then use this move?

Always assume the opponent is powerful, just assume it can sense it!

Qiao Sang waved her hand and shouted, “First use Ice Claw, then continue!”

A small puddle of water on the ground rippled. Just as Ice Dew Qiya’s head emerged from the puddle, Guangguangcao suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were glowing green at this moment.

At the same time, two green-glowing grasses suddenly emerged from the ground on both sides of the puddle, connecting above it.

As soon as Ice Dew Qiya’s entire body appeared, it would surely be tripped.

All the spectators’ hearts instantly jumped into their throats, wishing they could immediately rush onto the field and pull out that annoying Grass Knot.

On the field.

Ice Dew Qiya’s body rapidly shot out from that small puddle of water.

It was not tripped.

Because as half of its body emerged from the water, its front claws were condensing sharp Ice Claws radiating cold air.

Ice Dew Qiya swung its sharp claws forward, and with a whoosh, it cut the knotted grass in half.

Immediately after, a Water Jet surged, and Ice Dew Qiya, completely enveloped in water, shot straight into the sky.

The threat of Water-type skills wasn’t great, but Water Jet also had physical attack, which would definitely cause damage. However, if Guangguangcao endured this move and seized the opportunity to hit Ice Dew Qiya with its now 30% increased Grass-type skill power, perhaps the advantage in the subsequent battle would be in his hands… Tang Zhongyi’s mind raced, his eyes fixed on Ice Dew Qiya, who was already attacking downwards, not issuing an order immediately.

Guangguangcao did not dodge or evade. Just as the Water Jet was about to hit, Tang Zhongyi shouted loudly:

“Bind, use Leech Seed!”

Tang Zhongyi’s plan was excellent. As long as Guangguangcao endured this move and planted Leech Seed on Ice Dew Qiya, then Leech Seed would drain its status every so often.

Even if Ice Dew Qiya used Healing Light, it could only heal temporarily.

Leech Seed can continuously drain status, and Ice Dew Qiya cannot keep using Healing Light indefinitely, unless it disregards energy consumption.

“Guangguang!”

Guangguangcao extended its short claws, and vines shot out from its short toes.

Leech Seed is effective, but opponents aren’t targets; they won’t stand still and let Leech Seed attach to them. This guy wants Guangguangcao to bind Ice Dew Qiya, control it, and then use Leech Seed at close range.

In an instant, Qiao Sang understood the opponent’s intention.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the attack power of Ice Dew Qiya, who had already consumed an S-class potential enhancer.

“Dew!”

Ice Dew Qiya cried out, and when it was only about 5 centimeters away from Guangguangcao, the Water Jet suddenly expanded threefold.

“Guangguang!!!”

Guangguangcao couldn’t hold on and was sent Flying backward.

“Tang Daguang!” Tang Zhongyi’s face was filled with disbelief.
