Chapter 433: Yerx

Qiao Sang did not respond.

Because Yi Ao had already begun to set the stage for the contestants to enter.

The next steps were too familiar.

After announcing the contestants for the first group, a light would shine, and she would appear on the stage.

Qiao Sang quickly waved her hand, recalling Little Qunbao into her yu beast codex.

“I’m going!” As Qiao Sang’s words fell, a beam of blue light shone down.

At the same time, a white light fell on Ma Zongji’s body.

Seeing the two contestants suddenly appear on the stage, the entire venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

According to the collected data, Ma Zongji had no special habits, and the probability of both his Pets being summoned in the first match was fifty-fifty… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and then decided which Pet to send out.

At this moment, Ma Zongji, with an excited expression, shouted, “Qiao Sang, summon Ice Kexilu! I’m sending Yekesuo Slender for the first match!”

The audience immediately burst into cheers:

“Good! As expected of a child from our Ancient Mist region! Directly announcing the Pet he’s sending out, not showing any fear at all!”

“Exactly! We want to battle Ice Kexilu! Kid! You’ll be worth it even if you lose!”

“Since it’s a loss anyway, might as well directly challenge Ice Kexilu! I understand you!”

“Ice Kexilu! Ice Kexilu!”

The entire venue was shouting “Ice Kexilu” at once.

“Really?” Qiao Sang asked.

The audience’s voices were too loud, so Ma Zongji only saw Qiao Sang’s mouth move and didn’t hear what she was saying clearly.

He strained his voice and shouted, “What did you say?!”

Qiao Sang raised her hand, and the audience very cooperatively fell silent.

“Really?” Qiao Sang asked again.

Ma Zongji instantly became excited: “Of course it’s true!”

Qiao Sang looked at him, found his expression very sincere, and then nodded, indicating that she understood.

The audience also became excited; Qiao Sang’s nod definitely meant she agreed to summon Ice Kexilu later!

For a time, their eyes on Ma Zongji were like looking at their own promising child, incredibly pleasing to the eye.

The passionate BGM started playing.

Under the countdown of the entire venue, Qiao Sang and Ma Zongji simultaneously formed hand seals.

Green and gray star arrays lit up.

The next second, a Pet, mostly gray in color, with hair like ghost fire drifting backward in the wind, appeared in everyone’s sight.

“Qun~”

As soon as Little Qunbao came out, he heard the very stirring BGM, and he happily spun around continuously to the rhythm of the music.

However, the music suddenly stopped.

“Qun…”

Little Qunbao stopped and saw his opponent in the distance, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He wanted to return to being the second strongest!

“What, so it’s a Treasure Hunting Fairy.”

After the first stage of the competition, most people who had watched the matches were familiar with this Ghost-type Pet from the Yuhua region.

“Just now, seeing Qiao Sang nod, I thought she agreed to summon Ice Kexilu…”

“Me too…”

“Now that I think about it, if Ma Zongji hadn’t said which Pet he was summoning, Qiao Sang might have had reservations and might not have summoned Ice Kexilu.”

“Exactly!”

The audience sighed one after another, and their eyes on Ma Zongji instantly changed from looking at their own promising child to looking at their own unpromising child.

…

On the field.

It wasn’t Ice Kexilu… The first glance Ma Zongji took at the Treasure Hunting Fairy summoned by Qiao Sang made him feel as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

The ups and downs of life were nothing more than this.

It was too unbearable!

At this moment, the mechanical sound signaling the start of the match rang out.

“Root!” Ma Zongji’s expression instantly became serious, as if the heartbreak he felt earlier wasn’t his.

He had watched Qiao Sang’s battles many times and came to a conclusion: he had to act first! Otherwise, the rhythm would definitely follow her!

“Yek.”

Yekesuo Slender looked like a personified flower, with stem-like structures in the lower part of its body. It cried out, and a gray-brown flower root instantly emerged from the lower part of its body and drilled into the ground.

When a Grass-type Pet enters the rooted state, it will recover its energy at regular intervals. Most importantly, Little Qunbao’s Dark Shadow Control will be hindered to a certain extent. However, just staying in place without moving like this is not a good idea… Qiao Sang watched Yekesuo Slender’s movements and silently analyzed the situation.

At this moment, Little Qunbao had habitually turned invisible.

A black Shadow Ball suddenly appeared about one meter above Yekesuo Slender’s head.

“Vine Whip!” Ma Zongji said decisively.

Two Vine Whips quickly appeared from Yekesuo Slender’s sides. The Vine Whips did not attack but circled around, completely surrounding itself.

Judging from the size of the circle formed by the Vine Whips, it was not difficult to see that there was still a lot of empty space from Yekesuo Slender at the very center.

No wonder he dared to stay put, he had already thought of using Vine Whip for defense… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

The black Shadow Ball struck the defensive circle surrounded by Vine Whips.

When the Vine Whips withdrew, Yekesuo Slender inside was unharmed.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Burn it.”

Burn it? Ma Zongji’s heart tightened.

The collected data didn’t say that Qiao Sang’s Treasure Hunting Fairy had used Fire-type skills!

He didn’t dare to gamble and hastily said, “Fly Leaf Knife!”

“Yek.”

Yekesuo Slender waved its arms forward, and green, faintly glowing leaves instantly appeared, swirling around itself.

At the same time, several cold, eerie green ghost fires attacked from behind Yekesuo Slender.

The ghost fires collided with the leaves and instantly burned into ashes.

Watching this scene on the field, the audience above couldn’t help but discuss.

“Ma Zongji, this kid is good. Yekesuo Slender doesn’t have defensive skills, so he made changes to its existing skills for defense, and he even thought of making the Vine Whip’s defensive circle extra large. This way, even if the Vine Whip can’t withstand the damage, it can act as a buffer, preventing Yekesuo Slender from taking the most direct attack.”

“Look at you, making such a fuss. He used this move during the group stage.”

“I wasn’t there to watch then!”

“By the way, I really didn’t expect this Treasure Hunting Fairy to even know Ghost Fire. In that case, wouldn’t it know skills of three types?”

“You clearly haven’t done your homework. Let me tell you, Treasure Hunting Fairies from the Yuhua region that have two yellow rings on their bodies all know the Ghost Fire move. Look at this one, one on its head and another on its ear.”

“Good heavens, I thought those were decorations…”

“What are you thinking? In this kind of competition, how could Pets be allowed to wear such things.”

“That’s true…”

…

While the audience was discussing, the match on the field continued.

The moment Ghost Fire and Fly Leaf Knife collided, Ma Zongji’s mind raced.

Holy cow! It really does have Fire-type skills. Calm down, calm down, it’s still a match. The Treasure Hunting Fairy’s Shadow Ball and Ghost Fire are both cast very close to Yekesuo Slender, it must be nearby. Now is a good time to attack! Thinking of this, he quickly said, “Paralysis Powder!”

Paralysis Powder, a Grass-type intermediate skill, can cause the target to fall into a paralyzed state.

No sooner had Ma Zongji finished speaking than Qiao Sang said, “Come back.”

At the same time, Yekesuo Slender opened its mouth, and a brown powder spewed out, slowly spreading around.

Although Little Qunbao hadn’t appeared, Qiao Sang, as his Yu Beast Master, could clearly sense his position.

At this moment, Little Qunbao had already teleported to a position about three meters in front of her.

“Shadow Ball,” Qiao Sang said unhurriedly.

A Shadow Ball appeared abruptly and shot rapidly towards Yekesuo Slender.

“Yek.”

Yekesuo Slender was very experienced in battle. Seeing the Shadow Ball approaching from the front, it quickly used Vine Whip to surround itself.

Qiao Sang saw this and a smile played on her lips:

“Go in.”

“Qun~”

Little Qunbao instantly understood his Yu Beast Master’s meaning. He cried out happily and then disappeared from his original spot.

Go in?

Go where?

Ma Zongji didn’t react for a moment.

At the same time, inside the Vine Whip’s encirclement, Yekesuo Slender met a pair of purple eyes.
