Chapter 63: I listen to myself too much

The Double-Tailed Tortoise, a Ground-type Pet, inherited the Shen Mao Turtle’s dislike for water.

If one had a Water-type Pet, the Double-Tailed Tortoise would probably stay curled up in its shell throughout the match.

“One is the Double-Tailed Tortoise with extremely strong defense, and the other is the Fire Fang Dog with formidable offense. Who will win this match?!”

The audience listened to the Commentator’s passionate opening and fixed their eyes on the arena.

Half a minute later.

“What’s going on with these two?”

“Are they going to fight or not?”

“Qiao Sang! Go!”

“Didn’t the referee just blow the whistle to start?”

“If they’re not going to fight, then get down! Let us watch Gao Xulu and Sha Duo’s exhibition match.”

A voice out of place with the surroundings was mixed in.

“Fire Fang Dog! Go!”

“Qiao Sang! Go!” Bai Yunmiao stood up and shouted excitedly.

She hadn’t forgotten that she had been defeated by Chen Qian!

On the field.

Chen Qian was the first to lose patience and gave a command.

The Double-Tailed Tortoise stomped its left front limb hard on the ground, and a crack quickly appeared a meter in front of it.

Soon, the crack expanded, until it became more than a dozen fissures spreading towards the Fire Fang Dog’s position.

Just then, the Fire Fang Dog’s body flickered and split into two.

“Facing the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s Ground Crack, the Fire Fang Dog used a clone. What is this?” The middle-aged Commentator was puzzled.

He had been in this profession for over ten years, commentating on about 20 matches each year.

Among them were also large-scale competitions, but there had been very few times when he was so confused during a match.

Chen Qian also didn’t understand.

Before the match, she had planned it well: once the Fire Fang Dog attacked first, she would have the Double-Tailed Tortoise hide in its shell.

With the Fire Fang Dog’s attack power, it shouldn’t be able to break the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s defense.

Then, when the Fire Fang Dog tired, she would launch her offense.

Unfortunately, the opponent wasn’t following her script.

Now, the Fire Fang Dog’s reaction to the Ground Crack wasn’t what she had imagined…

She stared intently at the opponent, wanting to see how they would respond.

“Now!”

Qiao Sang spoke her first words since entering the arena.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Fire Fang Dog on the left jumped onto the back of the Fire Fang Dog on the right and stomped hard.

The Fire Fang Dog on the right was instantly swallowed by the ground that had just collapsed, disappearing from sight.

Meanwhile, the Fire Fang Dog on the left used the stomp to leap into the air.

“The Fire Fang Dog used its clone to dodge the Ground Crack! But what about next…?”

The Commentator paused for a moment.

Because the Fire Fang Dog, now in mid-air, used some uncollapsed rocks as footholds and rapidly charged towards the Double-Tailed Tortoise.

“That agility is extraordinary,” one guest exclaimed.

“But why didn’t it attack when the ground was still intact? Is there any difference between attacking now and attacking earlier?” another guest wondered.

“Yes, after the Double-Tailed Tortoise uses Ground Crack, it has about a 10-second window where it cannot use any skills,” Song Yuan slowly explained, looking at the field.

“Song Yuan, so you can talk after all.”

Song Yuan: “…”

“This is Flame Charge!” At this moment, a nearby guest suddenly exclaimed.

On the field, the Fire Fang Dog charged faster and faster, using the scattered rocks.

During its sprint, a flame suddenly burst from the Fire Fang Dog’s body, wrapping around its entire being.

Flame Charge.

A relatively powerful Mid-tier skill, combining special and physical attacks, and having a certain chance to inflict a burn status on the opponent.

“Quick, hide in your shell!”

Chen Qian quickly reacted.

She naturally knew that the Double-Tailed Tortoise had about 10 seconds of no attack power after using Ground Crack, but this didn’t hinder anything.

As long as the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s defense was strong enough, what if it just stayed still and took the hits?

If the opponent was counting on those ten seconds, they would only be disappointed.

The flames engulfing the Fire Fang Dog weren’t very large, and their color was orange-yellow, clearly indicating a beginner level.

The Double-Tailed Tortoise obediently retracted its four limbs and head into its shell.

Chen Qian relaxed, already having decided which skill to have the Double-Tailed Tortoise use after ten seconds.

“Bang!”

Chen Qian was dumbfounded by the scene before her.

The Fire Fang Dog’s Flame Charge didn’t hit the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s body, but rather the ground in front of the Double-Tailed Tortoise!

The ground, already cracked from the recent Ground Crack, quickly split open.

The impact force from Flame Charge caused the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s position to collapse.

The Double-Tailed Tortoise lost its balance, swaying left and right with the ground before its shell leaned against a rock, exposing its white belly.

Perfect!

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but inwardly praise.

The Double-Tailed Tortoise’s defense was very strong, but not all parts of its body had equally strong defense.

Its belly was its weakest point.

By attacking this spot, the Fire Fang Dog could break its defense and cause damage.

All of this was perfectly in line with the strategy she had devised.

Now, all that was needed was to take advantage of this moment and frantically attack the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s belly.

Qiao Sang’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

However, the Fire Fang Dog hesitated for a moment, looking at the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s posture leaning against the rock.

Its Yu Beast Master said to flip this guy over and attack its belly.

But now this guy was stuck by the rock; although its belly was exposed, it wasn’t completely flipped over.

The Fire Fang Dog didn’t hesitate for too long; a Spark shot out and, under Qiao Sang’s expectant gaze, attacked the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s… supporting rock.

Qiao Sang’s thoughts instantly froze.

The Fire Fang Dog looked with satisfaction at the Double-Tailed Tortoise, now shell-down and belly-up.

Now, this guy’s posture was exactly as its Yu Beast Master had described.

“Get up!” Chen Qian urged anxiously.

She finally understood what the opponent was trying to do!

The Double-Tailed Tortoise heard the command and extended its head and four limbs from its shell.

It tried to flip with all its might.

Not a twitch.

It tried to flip again.

Still couldn’t move…

The Double-Tailed Tortoise despaired.

The shell on its back was too heavy; it couldn’t flip over!

The Fire Fang Dog immediately jumped onto the Double-Tailed Tortoise’s belly, continuously spraying Spark and then Flame Vortex at its belly.

“Lu Pa!!!”

The Double-Tailed Tortoise instantly shrieked.

“Get up!”

Chen Qian broke into a sweat.

“Lu Pa!!!”

It couldn’t get up!

The Double-Tailed Tortoise truly lived up to its reputation as a Pet with extremely high defense.

Even when attacking its vulnerable belly, it took the Fire Fang Dog a full two minutes to make it faint.

Fortunately, the Fire Fang Dog usually trained its skill release, so two minutes of continuous skill usage didn’t make it feel too strenuous.

“The winner is contestant Qiao Sang!”

The Fire Fang Dog excitedly ran towards its Yu Beast Master, but then, because so many people were watching it, it tried hard to control its urge to grin.

Qiao Sang caught the Fire Fang Dog running towards her, her face full of mixed emotions.

This match was mostly as she had expected, but there were still slight differences.

For example.

If she had known that the Double-Tailed Tortoise wouldn’t be able to flip over in the end and that its limbs and head would be exposed, then why attack its belly?

Wouldn’t it have been better to just attack its head?!

Her own Pet was truly too obedient to her words…

Wishing everyone a safe Dragon Boat Festival~
