Chapter 779: The last match of this year (two in one)

Chapter 775: The Last Match of This Year’s Tournament… (Two-in-One)

The combination skill of Flame Step plus Flame Detonation… Qiao Sang’s heart was in turmoil.

She had studied Apollo during her rest time yesterday and today, and had also watched several highlight reels of Bi Mo Fox’s matches, but none of them showed this combination skill of the two major moves, so the attack just now was completely outside her expectations.

Even though she couldn’t see how Xiao Xunbao responded amidst the shockwave and flames, she could feel Xiao Xunbao’s condition.

It was clear that at the moment of the explosion, the defensive armor played a crucial role, because at that time, only Xiao Xunbao’s left claw was severely injured.

It was also while the defensive item could still resist that Xiao Xunbao used Substitute.

Without either the defensive item or Substitute, Xiao Xunbao would have likely been defeated directly by this combination skill just now…

The opponent was truly too well-hidden… Qiao Sang unconsciously looked at Apollo in the distance.

Others didn’t have her Gold Finger, so it would be impossible to train the proficiency of two skills to a very high level and then fuse them in a short amount of time.

To develop a powerful combination skill, it would certainly require a large amount of time.

However, there was no news whatsoever that Bi Mo Fox had the combination skill of Flame Step and Flame Detonation.

This was quite unbelievable for a star player like Apollo, who received a lot of attention and whose private life or training methods were often filmed…

As thoughts flickered, her peripheral vision caught Bi Mo Fox bending down to pick something up.

Opportunity! Qiao Sang’s thoughts stopped abruptly, and she instinctively shouted:

“Control!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

As soon as her voice fell, Xiao Xunbao disappeared into the air, teleporting to the ground, its right claw resting on Bi Mo Fox’s shadow.

“Bi Mo!”

Bi Mo Fox’s eyes were sharp, and he directly raised his hand and flicked it.

The Fire Coin was instantly engulfed by flames, transforming into a streak of fire that shot straight forward.

Just as the Fire Coin was only two meters away from Xiao Xunbao, it suddenly stopped in mid-air!

The Commentator was bewildered by the situation on the field.

His first reaction was that Ghost Ring King had used Psychic to control the Fire Coin, but at this moment, Ghost Ring King’s eyes had not turned blue.

The Commentator immediately thought of something and looked at the ground.

His eyes lit up, and he began to comment passionately:

“Ghost Ring King used Dark Shadow Control to restrain Bi Mo Fox’s attack! What incredible speed and reaction ability!”

The audience, who were still a bit confused about the situation on the field, all turned their gaze to the shadows connecting Ghost Ring King and Bi Mo Fox on the ground.

They saw that at some point, another slender shadow had branched out from the connected shadow, linking up with the Fire Coin’s shadow!

A collective gasp went through the audience, all somewhat unsettled by this maneuver.

“Ghost Ring King actually used Dark Shadow Control to control the attacking Fire Coin?!”

“Dark Shadow Control can be used like this?!”

“You haven’t watched enough matches. It’s not uncommon for Ghost-type Pets to use Dark Shadow Control to control an opponent’s items in a match, but it’s quite rare to see one directly control an item that’s actively attacking, at least in this level of match, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

“Items are easy to control, but controlling an item like the Fire Coin, which is attacking at high speed, is definitely not an easy task. The trajectory is easy to see through, as it’s a linear attack, but the eyesight and timing prediction are too difficult. One wrong move and you won’t connect.”

“If you ask me, Ghost Ring King is really daring to try. With an attack at that speed, if it didn’t control it, it wouldn’t even have time to dodge.”

“Explode!” Just as everyone was discussing, Apollo shouted loudly.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s ears perked up, and its short toes moved forward.

The shadow connected to the Fire Coin instantly moved towards Bi Mo Fox’s position.

At the same time, the Fire Coin exploded with a “bang.”

“Bi Mo!”

The shockwave rolled with the flames, and Bi Mo Fox, caught in the shockwave, let out a tragic cry.

Apollo’s pupils constricted.

He didn’t expect Ghost Ring King’s reaction ability to be so fast, and its judgment of the battle situation was terrifyingly accurate.

Generally speaking, in Pet battles, aside from the Yu Beast Master’s commands, the Pet reacts based on the opponent’s movements.

But just now, Bi Mo Fox hadn’t even made the Fire Coin explode; it had only roared once.

Yet, it managed to get the Fire Coin to Bi Mo Fox’s position before Bi Mo Fox could detonate it.

Ghost Ring King made a prediction based on his commands…

To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent’s Pet responding based on his commands since he became a Yu Beast Master…

Well done! Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity, and issued a command:

“Three-Dimensional!”

The dark shadow on the ground instantly drilled out, then rapidly expanded, wildly and fiercely coiling towards Bi Mo Fox’s position.

Bi Mo Fox was still in pain at this moment and was bound without much struggle.

Two of the dark shadows went upwards, suddenly propping open Bi Mo Fox’s eyelids.

“Bi Mo?”

Bi Mo Fox immediately forgot the pain, looking forward with a bewildered expression.

“Oh! Ghost Ring King used Dark Shadow Control to prop open Bi Mo Fox’s eyelids! What is it going to do?” The Commentator’s voice rang out at the opportune moment.

Such a familiar maneuver… Liu Yao couldn’t help but smile wryly in the audience.

On the field.

Bi Mo Fox met a pair of purple eyes.

Although Apollo could only see Ghost Ring King’s back at this moment, from Bi Mo Fox’s gradually drowsy expression, he immediately guessed that Ghost Ring King was casting Hypnosis.

“Awaken!”

His Yu Beast Master’s voice entered its ears, and Bi Mo Fox, with astonishing willpower, gathered energy and opened its mouth.

Scorching flames instantly condensed in its mouth.

But just then, a dark shadow suddenly wrapped tightly around its mouth.

Bi Mo Fox immediately understood something, but it still chose to continue channeling energy.

“Bang!”

The flames exploded.

Only, it was inside Bi Mo Fox’s mouth.

Crimson flames overflowed from the gaps in Bi Mo Fox’s mouth.

“Bi Mo!”

The intense pain instantly sobered Bi Mo Fox’s eyes, and its body struggled violently.

The power that erupted in that instant even caused the dark shadows on Bi Mo Fox’s body to show signs of loosening.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression was serious, and enduring the pain, it raised its already charred left claw.

A brand new dark shadow quickly bound Bi Mo Fox firmly.

“Bi Mo Fox actually let the flames explode in its own mouth!” The Commentator passionately explained the current situation: “But this also completely sobered it up!”

Hiss… The murmuring of the crowd ceased abruptly, and they all showed expressions of “how tragic.”

So cruel to itself… Qiao Sang’s heart tightened.

The pain in its mouth would last for a considerable amount of time. If Xiao Xunbao were to use Hypnosis again, Bi Mo Fox would likely wake up again just by biting its tongue or moving its tongue slightly, due to the pain in its mouth.

Xiao Xunbao was currently injured, so its control over Dark Shadow Control might not be as strong as usual.

It had to seize the opportunity to severely injure Bi Mo Fox while it was controlled.

“Aim for the head!”

Bi Mo Fox had previously suffered attacks and self-inflicted damage to its head, so if that was the case, then intensify the damage to the already injured area!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

As its Yu Beast Master finished speaking, Xiao Xunbao let out a cry.

Instantly, hundreds of clusters of eerie, phosphorescent ghost fires appeared out of nowhere around Bi Mo Fox, converging and striking towards its head!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The phosphorescent fireballs continuously exploded, and rolling flames swept through, almost completely engulfing Bi Mo Fox’s head along with its screams.

The proficiency of these ghost fires must be either Perfect or Profound Level… Everyone had this thought simultaneously.

Profound Level Ghost Fire… Apollo’s heart sank, and he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

He hadn’t expected Ghost Ring King to bring a defensive item to the match; otherwise, this match might have ended long ago.

With this Profound Level Ghost Fire aimed at the head, Bi Mo Fox would surely be injured even more severely.

However, if it could endure it, perhaps it would be the turning point… As he thought of this, Apollo stared intently at Bi Mo Fox’s movements.

Soon, his eyes lit up, and he shouted with a hint of excitement:

“It’s our turn!”

“Bi Mo!!!”

In the panoramic view, as Bi Mo Fox was continuously blasted by the phosphorescent fire, crimson flames suddenly ignited on its body, and even its eyes seemed to burn with fire!

It let out a fierce roar, and crimson flames burst outwards.

In an instant, the dark shadows binding its body were shattered!

Raging Flames… Qiao Sang’s expression changed, and she thought “What the hell!” in her heart.

She had finally managed to reduce the opponent to critical health, only for the opponent to activate Raging Flames, directly strengthening itself. What a joke!

The feeling of seeing others activate Raging Flames and seeing Ya Bao activate Raging Flames was truly like heaven and earth…

Watching the Raging Flames on Bi Mo Fox’s body, the audience immediately cheered.

“Raging Flames! It’s Raging Flames! I almost forgot Bi Mo Fox also has the Fierce Fire ability!”

“Me too! Now that I think about it, although Bi Mo Fox has had fewer battles in the past year or two, it has won almost every time it has appeared!”

“Yes, it’s precisely because Bi Mo Fox is too strong that no opponent has pushed it to the point of needing to activate Raging Flames, so we all forgot that it has the Fierce Fire ability!”

“Ah ah ah ah! Go!”

Sometimes, a reversal of the situation in a battle can often draw cheers and applause from the crowd.

Bi Mo Fox’s body was filled with a raging aura. After breaking free from the dark shadows, it directly transformed into a streak of fire and charged straight towards Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was about to teleport, but suddenly thought of something, revealing a determined expression, and remained in place.

“Bang!”

The streak of fire hit head-on, and Xiao Xunbao was sent flying directly backward. Just as it was about to reach the edge of the arena, it extended its uninjured right claw deep into the ground, digging out a long claw mark, barely managing to stop!

“Bi Mo Fox hit Ghost Ring King head-on!” The Commentator exclaimed excitedly.

The entire venue was in an uproar.

It was well known that throughout the matches so far, Ghost Ring King’s speed, reaction ability, and unpredictable movements were evident to all.

Even if Ghost Ring King had been hit before, it was because the attack range of the Flame Step and Flame Detonation combination skill covered the entire field, which was completely different from being hit now.

Even if Bi Mo Fox activated Raging Flames, they never expected Bi Mo Fox to hit Ghost Ring King head-on with a Flame Charge, instead of a major move.

It hit! Apollo’s face flushed with excitement.

Ghost Ring King could teleport, and he originally thought that even if Bi Mo Fox activated Raging Flames, it would take a series of fierce attacks to hit Ghost Ring King. He didn’t expect to hit it so quickly!

It seemed Ghost Ring King’s condition was far from what it was at the beginning!

Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, who had fallen to the ground but whose armor was flickering with purple light, and slowly exhaled, her expression complex.

Xiao Xunbao had deliberately been hit.

It was gambling on its Curse Body and Curse ability…

It really was…

Taking it seriously…

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao propped itself up on the ground, struggling to stand.

“Go!” Apollo shouted loudly.

Bi Mo Fox did not move.

Seeing that Ghost Ring King had completely stood up, Apollo’s expression changed slightly, and he shouted again: “Go!”

“Bi Mo…”

Bi Mo Fox remained stiffly in place, going from bewildered to despair.

It wanted to go too!

But it couldn’t move at all!

Apollo’s heart suddenly tightened as he looked at Bi Mo Fox, realizing something was wrong.

Bi Mo Fox couldn’t move, could it…

Discussions erupted throughout the venue.

Everyone didn’t quite understand why Bi Mo Fox suddenly stopped attacking at this crucial moment.

Especially Apollo’s fans, who all looked anxious, shouting for Bi Mo Fox to go.

“Bi Mo Fox is staying put, not taking the opportunity to continue its attack! It seems to have no intention of attacking, even under its Yu Beast Master’s command!” The Commentator, relying on his professional ability, immediately sensed the problem:

“Bi Mo Fox seems unable to move! In this situation, could it be that Ghost Ring King has Curse Body?”

Curse Body? Everyone was stunned by the words.

Curse Body, when attacked, has a 30% chance to put the opponent in a fixed state. A 30% chance actually appeared just like that, this luck… Qiao Sang took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly sharp:

“Attack the head!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t have the strength to make a particularly loud sound to respond to its Yu Beast Master. It stared intently at its opponent, raised its right claw, which was equipped with an arm guard, and took off its helmet, throwing it aside.

Then, a solid white light suddenly condensed on its head, and it charged towards Bi Mo Fox like a beam of white light!

Its speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it fiercely struck Bi Mo Fox’s head.

“Bi Mo!”

Bi Mo Fox let out a scream.

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao, who had appeared above at some point, raised its right claw, and a black Shadow Ball with a diameter of a meter instantly condensed, smashing heavily onto Bi Mo Fox’s head!

“Bi Mo!!!”

Bi Mo Fox let out an even more tragic scream than before.

“Explode!” Apollo gritted his teeth and said sharply.

The Raging Flames state wouldn’t last long, and now Bi Mo Fox couldn’t move. After those two hits from Ghost Ring King, Bi Mo Fox would probably fall soon.

Currently, Ghost Ring King was about 1.5 meters above Bi Mo Fox. At this position, as long as Bi Mo Fox detonated the flames around its body, it wasn’t impossible to hit it!

Although skills involving the mouth and limbs couldn’t be used, Flame Detonation could!

Compared to a frail Ghost-type Pet, he believed Bi Mo Fox would be the last one to fall!

Almost the very next second Apollo gave the command, Qiao Sang shouted loudly:

“Seal!”

Bi Mo Fox’s head had suffered two heavy blows in quick succession, and its reaction ability was far worse than before.

Before it could even begin to channel energy and detonate the flames.

An invisible Barrier instantly formed around it, enveloping its entire body.

At this moment, Bi Mo Fox endured the intense pain and, with astonishing perseverance, channeled its energy.

Firelight immediately exploded continuously around its body!

However, within the first two seconds, everyone was surprised to find that all the firelight seemed to form a crimson cuboid! It seemed to be blocked by something, as when the firelight touched a certain position, ripples rapidly spread out of nowhere, but it did not explode outwards!

Two seconds later, the Barrier-like thing dissipated under the impact of the firelight.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Deafening explosions resounded, and violent shockwaves, accompanied by high-temperature flames, surged outwards in layers.

And Xiao Xunbao, in that two-second gap, teleported to mid-air a hundred meters away.

When the firelight and shockwave completely dissipated, Bi Mo Fox was seen lying on the ground with its eyes closed.

Soon, the mechanical Pet referee flew over to Bi Mo Fox, observed it for a moment, and blew the whistle signaling the end of the match.

The Commentator took a deep breath and shouted with a passionate voice:

“The last match of this year’s tournament has ended! Let’s congratulate Qiao Sang for winning the championship of this Beastmaster Star Tournament!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Hearing this result, Xiao Xunbao did not wave to the audience as usual, but instead turned to look at its Yu Beast Master, grinned, then closed its eyes, and fell from high in the sky.
