Chapter 490: Qu!

On the field.

A crimson Energy Ball shot high into the sky, and at its apex, it suddenly exploded.

Mars Rain fell, the temperature soared, and the blazing flames seemed to ignite the sky, delivering an extremely powerful visual impact and an overwhelming sense of destruction, as if the field was separated into two worlds from the audience.

If that landed on Paleo, even if it was a General-level Pet, it would be done for, right? The audience couldn’t help but hold their breath, staring intently at the movements on the field.

Especially the audience in the central area, they didn’t even dare to breathe, fearing that Paleo would be gone the next second.

Paleo looked up at the sky, its vision completely engulfed by a sea of flames.

“Pa-pa…”

It wanted to move, but it couldn’t.

Tang Yi inexplicably sensed Paleo’s condition, and in an instant, he had a guess: The Ghost Ring Spirit from the previous match must have had the Curse Body ability!

Although Flame Charge was powerful, it shouldn’t have rendered a General-level Pet unable to move until now. It seemed Paleo had even been afflicted by Curse Body… Qiao Sang’s heart stirred as she looked at Paleo, still half-submerged in the ground.

Curse Body: When attacked, there is a 30% chance to put the target into a fixed state, unable to move for a certain period of time… Little Qunbao, you’re awesome! You actually managed to hit Paleo with both abilities!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps this match could end directly!

“Lightning Web!” Tang Yi’s command rang out at this moment.

As he gave the command, he clenched his fist, then released it.

Don’t panic, even if Paleo is afflicted by Curse Body and cannot move for a short time, the energy within its body can still circulate. As long as it can still use skills, the problem isn’t very serious… Looking on the bright side, even if Paleo could move now, its body is so large that it couldn’t possibly dodge such dense Mars Rain just by moving.

Tang Yi’s voice clearly reached Qiao Sang’s ears, and she decisively said:

“Destructive Beam!”

The opportunity created by Little Qunbao was only once; Paleo absolutely could not be allowed to escape!

Yellow electric arcs appeared on Paleo’s body, the lightning flaunting and flickering, instantly converging into a huge semi-circular Lightning Web that covered the area about a meter above Paleo.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Flames fell densely and furiously, completely igniting the entire semi-circular Lightning Web, with constant explosions of fire.

Many flames penetrated the gaps in the Lightning Web and landed on Paleo’s body.

“Pa-pa!!!”

“Ah!!!”

Crimson flames quickly ignited on Paleo’s body, and Paleo and Tang Yi simultaneously let out painful screams.

Paleo heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice and, amidst its pain, glanced in Tang Yi’s direction.

After a glance, it looked upwards, gritted its teeth, and the energy within its body circulated wildly. Yellow electric arcs flickered, lightning glowed brightly, and the Lightning Web instantly became much denser.

At this moment, a thick white beam of light, more than two meters wide, shot straight down from mid-air, its immense power directly blasting through the Lightning Web formed by countless electric arcs, accurately striking Paleo!

“Pa-pa!!!”

“Ah!!!”

Paleo and Tang Yi screamed simultaneously again.

The Lightning Web dissipated, and Paleo’s body was no longer covered. The Mars Rain fell, landing mercilessly on its body.

Is Bond Evolution really this miserable…? It seems what was said online is true; indeed, when the Pet hurts, the Yu Beast Master also hurts. However, the degree of pain should not be as much as what the Pet directly faces, otherwise, who would dare to let a Bond Evolved Pet enter the field…? Catching a glimpse of Tang Yi’s pained expression, Qiao Sang felt some relief while complaining inwardly.

Actually, thinking about it seriously, although Paleo is a General-level Pet, because it’s a Bond Evolution, Tang Yi will also feel pain. The pain will distract Tang Yi, preventing him from giving timely commands.

Of course, this is also the reason for direct combat after Bond Evolution. If they could adapt for a period, train a bit, or receive more feedback, this situation wouldn’t occur.

Also, even if Paleo gained an Evil-type, there’s nothing to fear.

Tang Yi doesn’t have a Gold Finger, so he couldn’t immediately know the new skills Paleo gained, and Paleo couldn’t immediately familiarize itself with and master new skills like Ya Bao and the others.

The added Evil-type, at most, means its Evil-type abilities need to be guarded against.

However, as for guarding against anything, it probably won’t be necessary… Qiao Sang’s heart rate inevitably quickened as she looked at Paleo’s figure, which was no longer screaming.

Mars Rain and Destructive Beam, empowered by Moonlight Power, were the strongest skills Ya Bao could currently unleash. If Paleo still didn’t fall after this, she could only say, “Awesome.”

The Mars Rain was still falling, and the audience in the stands was dumbfounded, hardly daring to believe what they were seeing.

Even the audience from the Yuhua region couldn’t help but doubt their own eyes.

A General-level Pet, the only General-level Pet since the National Competition began, was being suppressed and beaten?

There was no intense clash, just pure pummeling?

A General-level Pet, this was a General-level Pet!

“I don’t understand, I really don’t understand, who understands? Why is Paleo staying still on the ground? Could it be that it was hit by Liao Xing Hound’s Flame Charge at the very beginning and couldn’t move?”

“It’s impossible to think with your brain, please, it’s a General-level Pet, how could it be so weak.”

“Then why is it staying still? I can understand the Mars Rain wave, after all, there’s Mars Rain everywhere, so it’s better to stay put and block it directly with Lightning Web. But I can’t understand why it didn’t dodge the later Destructive Beam. It couldn’t be that it reacted too slowly; it’s a General-level Pet, I don’t believe its reaction speed would be that slow.”

“Do you think the Ghost Ring Spirit’s previous curse effect is still active?”

“Impossible, what kind of curse effect would make Paleo not act like a General-level Pet at all?”

“Unclear, we’ll just have to go back and watch the replay and commentary later.”

“This match, Qiao Sang won, right…?”

The audience in the central area suddenly fell silent. The situation on the field made it impossible for them to say anything against their conscience about Tang Yi definitely winning.

Meanwhile, the audience from the Yuhua region’s eyes lit up, their breathing suddenly became rapid, and their faces flushed with excitement.

Paleo lay on the ground with its eyes closed, its entire body in a scorched state.

Tang Yi recovered from his pain and looked at the motionless Paleo, his breathing catching.

Paleo had clearly evolved…

He knew that when a Bond Evolved Pet felt pain, the Yu Beast Master would also feel pain, and he had already prepared himself mentally, so why couldn’t he endure it…

If he had endured it and given the command in time, Paleo wouldn’t be in this state now…

It was all his fault…

For a moment, Tang Yi felt a lump in his throat, extremely uncomfortable.

At the same time, the uncomfortable emotion materialized within Paleo’s body.

Its Yu Beast Master is sad.

Why sad?

Is it because I’m going to lose?

“Pa-pa.”

A mysterious power surged within Paleo’s body.

The next second, Paleo struggled to open its eyes, dragging its injured body, and slowly stood up.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Tang Yi: “!!!”

The entire venue was shocked!

“Ya!”

Ya Bao’s eyes suddenly lit up in the sky, staring at its standing opponent, revealing an excited expression.

Holy crap! Paleo can stand up after taking such heavy damage?! No, I need to finish it off! I must seize the time to finish it off! Qiao Sang took a deep breath and quickly gave the command:

“Flame Charge!”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out, flames sweeping, its four limbs straining, but just as it prepared to attack, it found itself unable to move.

Ya Bao blinked its wet eyes and looked at its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

I was too excited, I almost forgot that Ya Bao has a period of immobility after using Destructive Beam!

But it’s almost over, just a few seconds, as long as I attack before Paleo counterattacks!

If Paleo were in peak condition, a one-second time difference would result in Ya Bao being attacked, but it’s so heavily injured now, it’s impossible for its speed to be as fast as before!

Two seconds, just wait two more seconds!

“Get ready!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao cried out. In mid-air, though motionless, the flames on its body burned fiercely, waiting only for its period of immobility to end to immediately launch an attack.

Tang Yi, sensing Paleo, was reinvigorated. He waved his hand and shouted:

“Destructive Beam!”

At this moment, he and Paleo seemed to be in perfect sync.

He knew this was their only chance!

Liao Xing Hound had just used Destructive Beam and was currently immobile.

And in Paleo’s state, it could only attack once.

Paleo was a General-level Pet after all; as long as it unleashed all the energy within its body into Destructive Beam, Liao Xing Hound, being a High-level Pet, would surely be defeated!

“Pa-pa!”

Paleo, dragging its injured body, its eyes firm, felt all the energy within its body boiling at this moment.

A terrifyingly powerful white light suddenly bloomed deep within Paleo’s throat.

“Ya”

Ya Bao, in the sky, felt an unprecedented sense of crisis amidst its excitement.

Paleo’s mouth opened wider and wider, and a dazzling white light shot out from its mouth!

But just as the white light had barely shot out less than half a meter, a strange purple energy suddenly appeared within Paleo’s body.

“Pa”

Paleo’s expression and body suddenly stiffened.

The next second, its energy instantly receded, and its entire body lost strength.

From the panoramic view, the Destructive Beam seemed to dissipate as if lacking energy.

Paleo’s body shrank, its form transforming, actually reverting to the appearance of Pareolulu!

A flash of fire came from high in the sky, fiercely striking Pareolulu’s body!

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, Pareolulu was sent flying dozens of meters, then went still.

“Ya!”

The audience was eerily silent, not a sound to be heard.

“Qu!”

In the strangely quiet atmosphere, the Mechanical Pet wearing the referee’s badge blew its whistle.

P.S.: The reason for the delay is to finish the match!
