Chapter 542: Qiao Sang VS Naiden (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

The Middle-aged Man was first stunned, then his eyes widened abruptly: “How old did you say?!”

The Staff ignored him and stared at the screen, immersed in his own emotions, completely losing control of his expression: “How could it be only 15… How could it be only 15…”

At this moment, a gasp of surprise came.

The Middle-aged Man raised his head in a daze.

He saw a magnificent Pet on the arena that he had never seen before.

Its red and white soft fur slowly fluttered, its body lines were slender and full of power, its fluffy but not touching the ground white long tail, coupled with the crimson fiery wings on both sides, made its entire image appear incredibly noble.

Such an eye-catching image directly made people ignore the other Pet on the field.

At this moment, almost everyone present had one thought: What is this Pet called?

On the command platform.

Naiteng narrowed his eyes.

“Oh! My goodness!” The Commentator’s voice sounded at the right time: “This Qiao Sang contestant actually sent out a super rare Pet! I’ve been a Commentator for 16 years, and I’ve seen many big and small competitions, but I’ve never seen this Pet on a competition ground before!”

After speaking, he asked the black-haired woman next to him: “I wonder if Miss Wang Xuezhi recognizes this Pet?”

Wang Xuezhi, the defending champion of yesterday’s D-level Beastmaster arena competition.

The black-haired woman did not answer him.

The Commentator turned his head.

He saw Wang Xuezhi excitedly holding her phone and frantically taking pictures of the red and white Pet on the arena.

Commentator: “…”

“Match countdown, 3…”

As the mechanical sound rang out, Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the Pet in the distance, which was over three meters, nearly four meters tall, with a light pink upper head, white lower head, two green tentacles on its head, and strange vine-like patterns all over its body, and her brain rapidly processed information.

Anti-Cricket Flower, a Grass-type High-level Pet. The scent it emits is particularly attractive to insect-type Pets. To protect itself, its usual appearance will be disguised as an insect-type.

“2…”

It possesses the Contrary ability, which can reverse changes in abilities, making ability increases become decreases, and ability decreases become increases…

The vine-like patterns on its body are not inherent, but rather drawn Spiritual Marks, which can continuously restore energy…

Ya Bao’s attribute counters it. The opponent will easily guess that it is a Fire-type Pet from Ya Bao’s appearance, but they probably won’t see the Superpower System…

It’s best to catch the opponent off guard while they don’t yet understand Ya Bao’s situation…

“1!”

“Fire Fang!” Qiao Sang spoke immediately.

Naiteng waved his hand and said loudly: “Knot!”

Knot, short for Grass Knot.

Some Yu Beast Masters, to shorten the time it takes to issue commands and to prevent opponents from reacting in time based on their commands, usually design short commands that only their Pets understand.

Just like Naiteng now.

Others couldn’t react immediately, but Anti-Cricket Flower, who always knew its Yu Beast Master’s commands, understood in a second.

A green light quickly appeared on its body.

At the same time, dozens of green-glowing grasses suddenly emerged from the ground.

Fire Fang is a skill that can only attack at close range. This unseen Pet must rush over, so I can use Grass Knot to trip it… Naiteng calmly analyzed.

But the next second, his pupils constricted slightly, and he blurted out:

“Act!”

Act, short for Activate Defense Ring.

The Defense Ring is a circular defense item worn around Anti-Cricket Flower’s neck. As long as energy is input, it can form a defensive barrier around its body.

Only Anti-Cricket Flower could understand this command, which was uttered word by word.

It stopped controlling the grass that hadn’t yet been tied into a knot and was about to activate the Defense Ring on its neck, but unfortunately, it was too late.

At the same time Naiteng said “Act,” Ya Bao had already teleported to a position above and behind it.

Anti-Cricket Flower had no time for its next move. A fiery head, about three times larger than Ya Bao itself, opened its sharp teeth and bit down on its head.

“Anti-Anti!”

Anti-Cricket Flower let out a tragic cry and fell to the ground with its eyes closed.

The entire venue suddenly fell silent.

Two seconds later, the large virtual screen in the back row displayed the match results for this round:

[Naiteng VS Qiao Sang, 0:1]

A clamor erupted.

Although almost all the spectators had bet on Naiteng to win, surprisingly few people cursed him when the results came out.

On one hand, the vast majority of those present were his fans.

On the other hand, the performance of this never-before-seen Pet exceeded everyone’s expectations, shocking them all.

More people were discussing this never-before-seen Pet.

“Fire-type plus Superpower System! There’s absolutely no information about such a Pet online!”

“This form of Fire Fang must have reached the Profound Level!”

“A Profound Level skill, I can’t even find many Pets among those celebrity contestants whose skills have reached Profound Level!”

“There are some, but they are all decades old, completely incomparable to that child up there!”

“I knew the betting pool wouldn’t just give us money!”

“It’s not Naiteng’s fault that he lost this match. Who would have thought this Pet has a Superpower System, and its Fire-type skill, which counters Anti-Cricket Flower, has reached the Profound Level? Besides, Naiteng’s Anti-Cricket Flower has been in so many matches, its reaction ability and such must have slowed down.”

“I’m going to blame him! That’s a month’s worth of my food expenses!”

At this moment, the two on the Commentator’s desk were also focused on Ya Bao.

“This, this is too strong! Fire-type plus Superpower System! It has attack, it has speed! Why is there no information about a Pet with these two attributes combined online? It’s incredible!” The Commentator excitedly said: “Miss Wang Xuezhi, what do you think?!”

Wang Xuezhi ignored him and had already taken out her Pet Identifier to scan and identify the Pet on the field that was causing everyone’s discussion.

Commentator: “…”

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, Naiteng summoned his second Pet.

Sucker Beast, a High-level Water-type Pet, has a hard head, its ink can affect the sense of smell, and its suction-cupped feet like to wrap around enemies… It possesses the Sniper ability, which makes its power stronger when it hits a vital point… Qiao Sang looked at the blue, octopus-shaped Pet with yellow suction cups and a monocle in the distance, and its information flashed through her mind.

She didn’t even need to specifically search online; during Naiteng’s previous matches, the Commentator had revealed all the Pet’s information thoroughly.

Soon, a voice rang out on the field:

“Match countdown, 3, 2, 1!”

When the countdown ended, Qiao Sang immediately said: “Fire Fang.”

It’s Fire Fang again… But then again, although Fire Fang is only a Mid-level skill, once it reaches Profound Level, its power is stronger than most High-level skills with lower proficiency… Naiteng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he didn’t issue a command immediately.

Ya Bao teleported, disappearing from its original spot.

Immediately after, the transparent ring on Sucker Beast’s back right tentacle suddenly lit up red.

At the same time, it felt a burning sensation from its tentacle.

Sucker Beast suddenly turned its head and sprayed a stream of irritating black ink towards its back right.

Naiteng smiled with satisfaction.

He had placed Pet sensor rings on each of Sucker Beast’s tentacles. As long as a Pet approached, even an invisible Ghost-type Pet could be sensed. It could accurately perceive the direction of approach without even using its eyes.

But the next second, his smile abruptly froze.

He saw that after the ink touched the unknown Pet with red and white fur, it disappeared!

Naiteng suddenly realized something and said loudly:

“Atten!”

Atten, short for Attention.

Sucker Beast heard its Yu Beast Master’s words and just showed a wary expression.

But the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and Sucker Beast realized the danger. However, it had no time to react at all. A surge of ultra-high temperature burning and intense pain suddenly swept through its entire body.

“Suck…suck…”

Sucker Beast directly fainted.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao teleported from above Sucker Beast to the other half of the field. Its fur was clean and smooth, showing no sign of being hit by ink.

The Pet sensor ring can indeed sense the approach of a Pet, but it specifically senses energy. The clone is also formed by energy. Let Ya Bao use the clone to confuse first, then use the main body to seize the opportunity to attack… Thanks to the Commentator, otherwise she would still have to look up what that item was called… Qiao Sang’s thoughts spun, but her expression remained calm.

Naiteng’s two Pets had already consumed most of their stamina and energy. The remaining one had appeared the least and had the strongest defense. Fire Fang alone probably wouldn’t be able to instantly defeat it…

I was supposed to finish the match today, but I have a dinner party for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chatting and gathering takes up time, and I’ll be out for a late-night snack tonight, so I’ll stop here for now. I should finish it tomorrow.

Also, I wish everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
