Chapter 778: Flame detonation

“Switch!” Qiao Sang shouted.

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao instantly teleported away from its original spot.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, flames exploded at the spot where Xiao Xunbao had been, and the shockwave, carrying the flames, swept through the surrounding air.

Bi Mo Fox extended its paw.

A coin flew downwards from the shockwave.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Just as the coin was about to reach Bi Mo Fox’s paw, Xiao Xunbao appeared dozens of meters away in mid-air, grinning at Bi Mo Fox.

“Bi Mo…”

Bi Mo Fox’s gaze was instantly drawn over.

It wasn’t that Xiao Xunbao’s smile was particularly good-looking, but in its line of sight, it only saw a silver helmet, a chest plate, and two arm guards, as if worn on someone, suspended in the air.

The next second, Xiao Xunbao’s body appeared within the armor, and unlike before, its eyes glowed with blue light.

At the same time, the item reached Bi Mo Fox’s hand.

Almost the moment it received it, Bi Mo Fox realized something was wrong.

It looked down and found that it wasn’t its Fire Coin, but a silver item.

“Bi Mo!”

Bi Mo Fox suddenly remembered something and looked up.

It saw that its opponent’s arm guards were missing one, and its own Fire Coin was in the opponent’s hand.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao picked its nose with one paw and tossed and caught the Fire Coin with the other, its expression extremely punchable.

“Bi Mo!”

Bi Mo Fox instantly bristled, looking at Xiao Xunbao with a fierce expression.

“Oh! Bi Mo Fox’s Fire Coin is in Ghost Ring King’s hand, and the Fire Coin that should have appeared in Bi Mo Fox’s hand has turned into one of Ghost Ring King’s armor items!” The Commentator explained professionally with an impassioned voice:

“Trick! This is a Superpower System skill! Ghost Ring King used Trick to swap items with Bi Mo Fox!”

The entire venue immediately erupted in discussion:

“Ghost Ring King actually knows Trick! It knows too many Superpower System skills!”

“Without its Fire Coin, is Bi Mo Fox’s combat power directly halved?”

“Ghost Ring King didn’t use any items in the previous few matches, only this one. Could it be specifically to swap items with its opponent?”

“That makes sense! Ghost Ring King’s armor can be used for defense, and parts of it can be exchanged. Plus, the size of this thing is clearly custom-made, so even if it gets into the opponent’s hands, they can’t use it! Qiao Sang is too clever!”

“I think it’s purely a coincidence. Among Apollo’s Pets, only Bi Mo Fox has been consistently using items. Qiao Sang couldn’t have guessed that Ghost Ring King would happen to face Bi Mo Fox.”

“Apollo should have sent out You You Sea Beast…”

…

“Go!” Apollo’s expression was serious.

“Bi Mo!”

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s voice, Bi Mo Fox instantly calmed down, its angry expression turning serious.

It stomped its foot, and a fierce flame immediately shot up from its feet.

Scorching flames burned on its legs.

Immediately after, Bi Mo Fox transformed into a red afterimage and began running in circles on the field, from the outside in, narrowing its range, like a burning vortex.

Its speed was so fast that it even left traces of flames where it ran.

This wasn’t enough; the vortex-shaped flames didn’t all appear on the ground. Besides the outermost ring of fire, from the second ring onwards, the flames circled in the air!

And they spun higher and higher!

“Holy crap, what kind of skill is this? It can actually make a Fire System Pet run in the air on fire…” Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she encountered a skill she didn’t recognize.

“Bi Mo Fox used Flame Step!” The Commentator shouted loudly.

Flame Step? The moment these two words repeated in Qiao Sang’s mind, she suddenly realized that the vortex-shaped fire rings were about to reach Xiao Xunbao’s location.

She probably didn’t need to give an instruction; Xiao Xunbao could dodge it…

As the thought flashed, Xiao Xunbao disappeared from its original spot and appeared at a lower location with no flame traces.

From a panoramic view, Ghost Ring King was in an open space, but it was within the vortex.

“Explode!” Apollo suddenly shouted.

“Boom!!!”

As his words fell, all the remaining vortex flame traces instantly exploded!

The entire stadium was filled with deafening explosions!

Flames and heatwaves surged.

Shockwaves, carrying crimson flames, raged in all directions, sweeping across the entire venue.

Layers upon layers of fire completely destroyed the ground!

Because Bi Mo Fox’s initial run circled almost the entire field, and this explosion also covered the entire field!

“This is! Flame Detonation!” The Commentator looked at the scene on the field and stood up abruptly, excited: “Bi Mo Fox used Flame Step to cover the entire field, and even high up in the air, with flames, and then used Flame Detonation to detonate them all! This way, no matter where Ghost Ring King teleports, it will be affected by the explosion! What a terrifying combination skill!”

The entire venue erupted.

“Ahhh! I knew Apollo wouldn’t lose so easily!”

“Amazing! This combination skill of Flame Step and Flame Detonation is too strong! Apollo has never used this move before. No wonder Bi Mo Fox hasn’t competed much recently; it turns out it was practicing a big move!”

“Flame Step that can go into the sky, this is at least at the Profound Level, maybe even Profound Level. I didn’t expect Apollo to secretly prepare such a big move for us!”

“Ghost Ring King is squishy; it must have gone down immediately after this combination skill!”

“Definitely! Forget Ghost Ring King, even Steel Dragon would probably be severely injured.”

Qiao Sang, Xiao Xunbao… Liu Yao looked at the shockwaves still churning on the field, his heart heavy.

“Tian Xian…” Tian Xian Bat beside him showed a worried expression.

Player area.

The combination skill of Flame Step and Flame Detonation… Pilit’s gaze unconsciously turned towards Qiao Sang.

He had learned a bit about Qiao Sang from the data.

Participated in the National Campus Pet Beast League for high school seniors as a freshman, almost winning every match.

From becoming a Yu Beast Master until now, she has always fought against players older than her, yet even so, she has remained undefeated.

Actually, for such a prodigy who hasn’t fully matured yet, sometimes losing a match is more important than winning.

After the shockwave completely stopped, the imagined scene of Ghost Ring King falling to the ground did not happen.

Ghost Ring King appeared high in the air, with lines glowing with purple light flowing on its armor. Its left paw, due to the lack of an arm guard, was completely charred.

Pilit was startled at first, then smiled.

He almost forgot that Ghost Ring King knew Substitute.

The clamor in the venue erupted again.

“Ghost Ring King is actually fine?! This is too unbelievable!”

“Good heavens! Whose item is this armor? Is it that amazing?”

“The item certainly contributed, but if it was just relying on the item, I don’t think it could fully defend. I remember this Ghost Ring King also knows Substitute.”

…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, in mid-air, was panting heavily, its expression uncharacteristically solemn as it looked at its opponent.

“Bi Mo.”

Bi Mo Fox curled its lip at Xiao Xunbao in the air, then took two steps forward, bent down, and picked up the Fire Coin that had fallen to the ground.

I was wrong, I thought I could write a two-in-one today.
