Chapter 763: Magic Dangdang (2-in-1)

“However, don’t be careless just because his combat ability isn’t great,” Pilit continued. “As long as a Pet’s Spiritual Mark and tools are properly matched, they can unleash their full potential, or even exceed it.”

But if they haven’t been trained, and the Pet’s own strength isn’t good, then even if it unleashes combat power beyond its own level, it probably won’t be very strong… However, the level of a big spender often cannot be viewed with normal eyes… Qiao Sang said seriously:

“I understand.”

Pilit smiled with satisfaction, seeing her serious attitude.

To be honest, Qiao Sang was one of the most worry-free prodigies he had ever seen; at least she listened to what he said.

At this moment, Qiao Sang asked:

“What type of appraiser is he?”

Appraisers are subdivided, such as Bloodline Appraisers, Fossil Appraisers, Material Appraisers, Tool Appraisers, and so on.

Pilit took a sip of water and said, “He’s a Pet Egg Appraiser.”

Pet Egg Appraiser… Qiao Sang was thoughtful.

She had heard of this type of appraiser before. It was said that they could determine a Pet’s species, gender, egg age, and even talent based on the patterns on the Pet Egg’s surface.

Although the patterns on most Pet Eggs immediately reveal their species, there are always exceptions.

Some Pet Eggs appear to have inherited traits from the father’s side, but hatch to resemble the mother’s side, and some even inherit traits across generations, inheriting the bloodline of an elder.

In short, it is a profound field of study.

Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and asked again, “Since he is a Pet Egg Appraiser, does he choose all the Pets he contracts from Pet Eggs?”

Young lady, you have too many questions… Pilit was silent for a moment, then said:

“Maybe.”

Qiao Sang then asked:

“If he always chooses Pets from Pet Eggs, are the Pets he contracts all very talented?”

No matter how good their talent is, it’s not as exaggerated as yours… Pilit complained inwardly, maintaining a steady demeanor outwardly:

“To become a B-rank Appraiser at such a young age, he must have been immersed in this field since childhood. His family background won’t be bad, so even if he doesn’t appraise them himself, more professional individuals will come to help him appraise.”

So, you really can identify talent just from Pet Eggs. People who spend a lot of money are just different… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

The education she had received previously was that a Pet’s talent had to be judged after it hatched from a Pet Egg, based on whether the Pet had inherited talented skills and other aspects.

For a moment, Qiao Sang said nothing more.

Finally, no more questions… Pilit silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He had figured it out: Qiao Sang had many questions. If it was only about how to train Pets, it would naturally be fine, but she specifically liked to ask about things unrelated to training or combat.

For example, just now, and also about Super Dormant Star materials.

Heaven knows, he was just a tutor at the Pet Tamer Academy who was originally on vacation…

…

After an unknown amount of time, a Staff member with a familiar face came over and respectfully said:

“Miss Qiao Sang, please follow me to the backstage to prepare.”

It’s such a high-profile competition, why can’t they just transfer people directly onto the stage when it’s time to go on, like in the Ancient Mist region competition… Qiao Sang muttered to herself, then stood up and smiled:

“Okay.”

Then, she gestured towards the backstage with her hand to Pilit and said, “Teacher, I’m leaving first.”

With that, she followed behind the Staff member.

Qiao Sang stopped at the entrance of the passage.

Tap, tap, tap… Suddenly, Qiao Sang’s ear twitched, hearing an additional set of footsteps from deep within the passage. Someone was hurrying towards her.

Half a minute later, a slightly familiar figure appeared before her.

A red mullet with a middle part, wearing silver earrings, it was the man who had been ranked in front of her on the first day of the Beastmaster Star Tournament.

Qiao Sang still remembered what the Commentator had said when introducing him: From District 2, 1.88 meters tall, four-time champion of the Pet Arena Championship, Apollo Nowitzki.

“Miss Qiao Sang…” Apollo looked at the black-haired girl in front of him and smiled bitterly, “I’m very sorry about what happened last time.”

Huh? Qiao Sang was momentarily confused and asked:

“What happened?”

Apollo was taken aback. Seeing that the other party genuinely seemed not to have taken it to heart, the dim pupils lit up with a glimmer of hope:

“I’m very sorry for mistaking you for a fan who snuck in last time and offering to get you an autograph.”

After listening, Qiao Sang said indifferently:

“It’s nothing. I am indeed the least popular among the contestants, so it’s normal for people not to recognize me.”

“How could that be!” Apollo blurted out, “Your popularity is the highest right now!”

No need to exaggerate so much… Qiao Sang coughed and asked:

“Are you looking for me for something?”

Apollo opened his mouth, just about to speak.

At this moment, the Commentator’s voice came from outside the passage: “The next match is between Elon Plio and Qiao Sang!”

The Staff member who had been transparent until now respectfully said, “Miss Qiao Sang, it’s your turn to go on stage.”

Saying that, he made a “please” gesture.

“I’m leaving first,” Qiao Sang said, then walked out of the passage.

“Then contact me after the match!” Apollo called out to Qiao Sang’s back, his tone slightly anxious.

A change in attitude must mean something fishy… He didn’t come early or late, but only after the news of Lu Bao’s Healing Light was exposed did he specifically come to find me. This guy couldn’t have gotten a terminal illness himself, or someone in his family got one, right… Qiao Sang raised one hand and waved it behind her, indicating she understood.

At the same time, a burst of cheers erupted in the stands.

The Commentator’s voice rang out:

“Qiao Sang is waving to everyone as she enters the arena!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang changed from a wave to a full wave and stood still on the field.

She gazed at her opponent, a short-haired brown-haired man who looked only in his twenties, and detailed information about him appeared in her mind.

Elon Plio, 35 years old, although he only has three Pets, all of them are General-level Pets.

Quiet-Staring Ladybug, a General-level Pet with dual Flying-type and Bug-type attributes, likes to fly under the starry sky and scatter powder. It is said that good things happen if the powder gets on you. It has a Super-Sight characteristic, where if it stares intently at an object, even the bacteria on it can be seen…

Maifuweng, a Grass-type General-level Pet. Once its powder is smelled, it will cause hallucinations within a certain period of time.

The last one, Molly Ding-Ding, a Superpower System General-level Pet, emits a bell-like sound. The bells on its body make sounds at a high frequency inaudible to human ears, causing the opponent to become deaf within a certain period of time…

I wonder which Pet the opponent will summon first…

Elon looked over, a polite smile on his face:

“Miss Qiao Sang, please go easy on me.”

Big brother, you’re 35 years old, and your Pet has Spiritual Marks and tools. You’re asking me to go easy on you, are you serious… Qiao Sang inwardly complained, but outwardly pretended not to hear clearly:

“What did you say?”

Elon stopped talking.

Saying “go easy on me” once would only make the audience laugh, but saying it twice would be a bit embarrassing.

At this moment, a mechanical voice echoed throughout the arena:

“3, 2, 1, match start!”

Qiao Sang immediately formed a hand seal.

After two days of training, her hand speed had improved significantly.

Unfortunately, the opponent’s age was there, and so was his experience.

Qiao Sang’s hand speed was still 0.5 seconds slower than his.

A green star array lit up first on the field.

Immediately after, an orange-yellow star array appeared.

Molly Ding-Ding… Qiao Sang looked at the Pet suspended in mid-air from a distance, about two meters tall, with two yellow bells on its head, a silver bell tied around its neck, and a silver bell tied to each of its two paws, its body covered in white Spiritual Marks. Its species name appeared in her mind.

Her gaze quickly swept across the silver bells on Molly Ding-Ding’s neck and paws.

Inconsistent with the picture, these three bells are tools…

Just as she was thinking, Molly Ding-Ding’s eyes were the first to glow blue.

Ya Bao, who had just appeared in the star array, was controlled and floated into the air.

“Molly Ding-Ding has taken the initiative to control Flame Qilu with its Superpower attack!” The Commentator provided a real-time commentary on the current situation.

At the same time, the audience began to discuss.

“Qiao Sang looks quite strong, but it seems she always starts at a disadvantage.”

“That’s because her hand speed isn’t as fast as others.”

“Why is her hand speed so slow?”

“It’s already fast enough, and you’re not even considering how old she is.”

“Uh, I’ve already forgotten her age…”

“Molly Ding-Ding is a Superpower System Pet, so it’s hard to get close to it. This match will probably be a tough one.”

Just as everyone was discussing, Molly Ding-Ding controlled Ya Bao to swiftly approach its own direction.

“Shake!” Elon gave the command.

As soon as he spoke, the two yellow bells on Molly Ding-Ding’s head began to shake.

An invisible sound wave attacked the approaching Ya Bao.

Using Superpower to control Ya Bao to approach, then using the sound of the bells to make Ya Bao deaf, so it won’t be able to hear my commands? Qiao Sang analyzed her opponent’s intentions in her mind.

To be honest, she thought these two moves combined worked quite well.

Unfortunately, it was Ya Bao who was on the field.

With Ya Bao’s strength, even without her command, it could quickly make any adjustments during the match.

The opponent should not have, under any circumstances, let Ya Bao get close to Molly Ding-Ding…

And it was approaching in a straight line…

“Ya!”

Ya Bao looked at the approaching opponent, staring intently, a look of excitement on its face.

“Mo Mo…”

Molly Ding-Ding felt a slight tingling in its scalp from the opponent’s intense gaze.

It remembered its Yu Beast Master’s instructions before the match, and the bells on its neck and paws also began to shake.

The invisible sound waves instantly spread rapidly, expanding their range.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao’s ears twitched, realizing something was wrong.

Its body didn’t struggle, letting the opponent pull it closer, it just opened its mouth.

A red-gold light, containing terrifying energy, instantly shot directly towards Molly Ding-Ding’s location.

“Mo Mo!”

Molly Ding-Ding was startled and instinctively disappeared from its original spot, teleporting to a high altitude a hundred meters away.

This action also caused it to lose control of Ya Bao.

“Bang!!!”

The red-gold light passed through Molly Ding-Ding’s original position, followed by a violent explosion, and a tsunami-like flame instantly surged into the air.

“Mo Mo…”

Molly Ding-Ding looked at the surging flames, a look of lingering fear on its face.

Suddenly, it felt a chill down its back.

“Mo Mo…”

Molly Ding-Ding seemed to realize something and stiffly turned its head.

Seeing Flame Qilu appear behind his Pet, Elon was about to give a command.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said in a playful tone, “If I were you, when Molly Ding-Ding first controlled the opponent, I would have made it control the parts that can launch skills, like the mouth.”

That makes sense… But why are you suddenly telling me this… Elon looked at the black-haired girl in the distance, a bit confused.

Qiao Sang stared at him, smiling slightly.

“Bang!!!”

A loud bang in the air.

Elon instinctively looked up and saw Flame Qilu using Fire Fang, biting fiercely into Molly Ding-Ding’s body.

He suddenly remembered something, looked at Qiao Sang in disbelief, and angrily said:

“You deliberately spoke just now to distract me!”

Congratulations, you answered correctly… To become a B-rank Appraiser at 35, he must have spent a considerable amount of energy. As expected, he didn’t have much time for actual combat training of his Pets. His combat experience isn’t rich; he doesn’t even know not to be easily influenced by the opponent’s words during a battle… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, but outwardly pretended not to hear:

“What did you say?”

Actually, she couldn’t be blamed. She hadn’t experienced the effect of Molly Ding-Ding’s bell sound. What if its power was as immense as Immortal Treasure Butterfly’s Peaceful Wave? Then Ya Bao would most likely not be able to hear her commands right now.

Since that was the case, she could only try something else; she couldn’t just stand there.

Elon: “…”

Elon was sure; this guy was doing it on purpose!

“Flame Qilu used Exploding Flame Bullet to force Molly Ding-Ding out of its original position! It broke free from control and teleported behind Molly Ding-Ding! Flame Qilu used Fire Fang to Bite Molly Ding-Ding!” The Commentator’s voice became increasingly passionate:

“Oh! Molly Ding-Ding used Substitute!”

Qiao Sang looked up, only to see Molly Ding-Ding, which had been bitten by Ya Bao, had disappeared and reappeared a hundred meters away.

Forcing out Substitute is not bad; at least it consumed a lot of energy… Qiao Sang was quite satisfied with the current situation.

“Go get him!” Elon, seeing Molly Ding-Ding’s timid appearance, was somewhat displeased and couldn’t help but shout.

“Molly!”

Molly Ding-Ding heard its Yu Beast Master’s voice, mustered its courage, and showed a serious expression.

Just as it was about to launch an attack, Ya Bao had already opened its mouth.

A thick, spinning flame instantly shot out, rapidly approaching Molly Ding-Ding’s position.

Molly Ding-Ding raised its paw, and a translucent Barrier, about three meters in diameter, immediately appeared in front of it.

The flame collided with the Barrier but did not immediately explode or destroy it.

“Molly…”

Molly Ding-Ding gritted its teeth, maintaining the energy of the translucent Barrier.

Mirror Reflection, which can return double the damage of special attacks from the opponent… Qiao Sang recognized the skill Molly Ding-Ding was using, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Although Ya Bao’s Flame Vortex is only a mid-level skill, it has already been trained to the Profound Meaning. The fact that it didn’t directly break through this move indicates that, in addition to this move’s high proficiency, Molly Ding-Ding’s internal energy, even after losing some due to Substitute, is still greater than Ya Bao’s…

With Mirror Reflection, most special attack skills are difficult to use, unless the attacking skill is much stronger than Mirror Reflection…

Just as she was thinking, the flames on the Barrier suddenly changed direction, their power greatly increased, and they rushed towards Ya Bao’s location.

Ya Bao disappeared from its original spot and appeared above Molly Ding-Ding.

The flames missed.

Since Ya Bao couldn’t hear her voice, she would use commands it could understand… Qiao Sang thought of this, raised her hand, and snapped her fingers. (End of chapter)
