Chapter 957: Flame Tail Tat Tat (two in one)

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Ghost Ring King! Ghost Ring King!”

“I never thought Dark Shadow could use a skill like Mind Headbutt. I always thought that move was just for scaring people.”

“Didn’t Dark Shadow use Dark Shadow Control at the beginning? I heard that when Dark Shadow reaches a certain level of proficiency, the Pet using this skill can merge with Dark Shadow and control Dark Shadow to use skills.”

“I’ve heard that too, but very few Pets practice this move, since the skill’s power doesn’t change.”

“Who said the power doesn’t change? I saw that the Dark Shadow Control just now, when used by Dark Shadow, was much more powerful. Look at how thick that shadow was, it wrapped up the Wood Whisk Flower Monster in just a few moves.”

“This skill is very useful. If it weren’t for Dark Shadow Control blocking, Ghost Ring King’s main body would definitely be seen through.”

“Whether the main body is blocked or not is secondary. The most important thing is that only Dark Shadow Control can attack within the range of the powder used by the Wood Whisk Flower Monster. Otherwise, Ghost Ring King wouldn’t be able to get close to the Wood Whisk Flower Monster, and the Wood Whisk Flower Monster could forcibly break through that Dark Shadow Control.”

“Speaking of which, this Ghost Ring King is cuter than any Ghost-type Pet I’ve seen. Look at how it waves its claws, its personality seems pretty good too.”

“Hahaha, are you sure it’s not because of its small size that you think so? I think the Dark Shadow Control it uses looks quite imposing, completely unrelated to its main body.”

“Watching this Ghost Ring King’s match makes me want to contract a Ghost-type Pet…”

“Then you’re really being impulsive…”

Although Xiao Xunbao was cute and its matches were exciting, the terror of Ghost-type Pets was still deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts.

But even so, it did not hinder everyone’s affection for Xiao Xunbao.

Everyone either waved and cheered in response to Xiao Xunbao, who was waving on the field, or picked up their phones to take pictures.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Feeling everyone’s enthusiasm, Xiao Xunbao’s heart swelled, and it waved its claws even more joyfully.

“Ghost Ring King used the combination skill of Dark Shadow plus Mind Headbutt to win the first round for contestant Qiao Sang.” Tian Yiwan exclaimed, “It’s truly a combination skill that no one expected.”

“Exactly.” Tang Xueyi echoed, “Such a combination skill is also difficult to replicate, as it’s hard to find another Pet that simultaneously possesses both Ghost-type and Superpower System attributes.”

“Contestant Qiao Sang has once again brought us a surprise.” Tian Yiwan continued, “I wonder what kind of Pet contestant Xiang Wenyi will send out next. Currently, contestant Qiao Sang has no intention of recalling Ghost Ring King, so it looks like she plans to have Ghost Ring King participate in the second match as well.”

As the commentators finished speaking, a light projection of “10” appeared on the field.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao instantly retracted its claws, its expression serious as it looked at the human in the distance, ready to respond at any moment.

It seems I can no longer judge Qiao Sang’s strength based on the Super Dormant Star match videos… Xiang Wenyi felt unprecedented Pressure.

She was no longer sure if she could win a round…

The light projection in the center of the arena kept changing.

“9, 8, 7… 3, 2, 1.”

The light projection disappeared.

Xiang Wenyi formed hand seals.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

Soon, a Pet about six meters tall, with a red body, yellow eyes, a rose-colored abdomen, two fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot that looked like claws, and a rose-colored tail that seemed to be burning like fire, appeared within the star array.

Flame Tail Tread, a Fire-type General-level Pet, possesses very high stamina, especially in explosive power, jumping ability, and tail strength. Due to its strong torso and excellent balance, it can unleash powerful tail strength regardless of its posture. It likes to infuse “Fire Power” into various objects, burning them into fireballs to attack opponents… This Pet wasn’t deployed during the preliminaries… Qiao Sang gazed at the Pet in the distant star array, its relevant information appearing in her mind.

Just as the information appeared, Xiao Xunbao had already vanished into invisibility.

“Tread!” Xiang Wenyi shouted.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread stomped its right foot down fiercely, and immediately, starting from its sole, flames erupted on the ground, heat surging wildly, blasting open the ground in front, sending countless shattered rocks flying upwards.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Amidst a flurry of flames and shattered rocks, Xiao Xunbao weaved through, appearing out of thin air in front of Flame Tail Tread, its eyes glowing purple.

Flame Tail Tread seemed unsurprised by its opponent’s sudden appearance. Its expression unchanged, it raised its rose-colored tail high and swung it fiercely at a shattered rock that was still falling.

The moment its tail touched the shattered rock, the rock seemed to ignite instantly, flames flaring up to form a large fireball about one meter in diameter, which, with an incredibly fast speed as if it could burn everything around it, rapidly shot towards Xiao Xunbao’s location.

Xiao Xunbao had no choice but to stop its hypnosis and instantly moved to a high altitude a hundred meters away.

“Continuous Attack!” Xiang Wenyi shouted.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread’s tail continuously swung at the surrounding shattered rocks.

One shattered rock after another continuously transformed into large fireballs, attacking Xiao Xunbao in the high sky.

The strength of Flame Tail Tread’s tail was so great that the fireballs formed from shattered rocks easily reached a height of one hundred meters.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao kept dodging by using Instant Movement.

Although the fireballs attacked one after another, in everyone’s eyes, Ghost Ring King dodged very easily.

“Big!” Qiao Sang gave the command.

Xiao Xunbao instantly moved to dodge an oncoming fireball, appearing in mid-air a hundred meters away from Flame Tail Tread, its two claws joined upwards.

Instantly, a giant Ghost Ring King, over thirty meters tall, appeared on the field.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread showed a wary expression, but its tail movements didn’t stop, swinging fiercely at a larger shattered rock.

The shattered rock burned, expanded, then continued to expand, and its expansion speed increased as it flew.

In a short time, the fireball actually expanded to a diameter of about five meters!

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped in surprise.

Just when everyone thought the giant Ghost Ring King was about to be hit and dissipate, the fireball, about five meters in diameter, suddenly stopped motionless in mid-air while on its way!

Xiang Wenyi’s expression subtly changed.

No way… The audience, whose attention was originally focused on the fireball and the giant Ghost Ring King, suddenly thought of something and collectively looked down at the ground.

On the ground in front of the giant Ghost Ring King, Ghost Ring King’s main body stood prominently, its claws touching the ground, a thin shadow extending forward, precisely connecting to that fireball about five meters in diameter!

“Ghost Ring King has once again taken control of the opponent’s skill! This isn’t the first time it’s done this!” Tian Yiwan said.

It’s hard not to connect when the fireball is coming straight at you and the shadow’s area is so large… Qiao Sang thought to herself, her expression calm as she said:

“Counterattack.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao rotated its claws.

The giant fireball in mid-air began to swing wildly, as if controlled by some invisible string.

“Flame Tail…”

Flame Tail Tread stared at the swinging fireball, its leg muscles tensed, fire emanating from its feet.

The giant fireball was still swinging.

Suddenly, Xiang Wenyi’s expression changed again, and she shouted:

“Go!”

“Flame Tail!”

As soon as the words fell, Flame Tail Tread, like a streak of fire, moved at high speed left and right, constantly changing direction and rushing forward.

The second it rushed out, a subtle Dark Shadow on the ground extended to where it had originally stood.

“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao showed a regretful expression.

It was discovered. It seems the first match made the opponent very wary of Xiao Xunbao’s shadow. As expected, no one who can participate in the Regional Competition is simple… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

With Xiao Xunbao’s current proficiency in Dark Shadow Control, it can already control one object while simultaneously splitting off another shadow to control another object. She originally thought that when the fireball swung, everyone’s attention would be on the fireball. She didn’t expect the opponent to discover that Xiao Xunbao had split off one of the shadows, preparing to connect to Flame Tail Tread’s shadow.

Flame Tail Tread was moving at high speed left and right.

Xiao Xunbao manipulated the shadow, swinging the giant fireball and throwing it towards Flame Tail Tread.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread stomped its foot, leaped into the air, and swung its tail fiercely at the giant fireball.

The giant fireball then changed its trajectory, striking the giant Ghost Ring King at an astonishing speed.

With a loud “bang,” flames exploded, shockwaves raged, and the giant Ghost Ring King vanished in the intense explosion.

Flame Tail Tread landed on the ground, only to find that the opponent controlling the shadow from its original position had also disappeared.

Just then, its Yu Beast Master’s slightly anxious voice entered its ears:

“Above!”

Flame Tail Tread looked up and saw its opponent’s small head, condensing white light, charging straight down.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread did not dodge. It reacted quickly, fire erupting from its feet, leg muscles tensed, and it forcefully lifted its leg to kick upwards, precisely kicking the Ghost Ring King whose head was condensing white light.

With a “bang,” Ghost Ring King disappeared.

Flame Tail Tread was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, it realized its leg couldn’t be put down…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

The real Xiao Xunbao was floating about ten meters away.

Looking at the shadow below, it was already connected to Flame Tail Tread.

Xiao Xunbao being small had its advantages, for example, when a Substitute appears and is performing an eye-catching skill, everyone’s attention will be focused, subconsciously assuming the Substitute is the real one… Of course, it also had to do with it being night… Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field, very satisfied.

Finally controlled it…

Unpredictable! That Ghost Ring King just now was actually fake! Xiang Wenyi regretted her carelessness and quickly issued a command to try to escape the current predicament:

“Explode!”

The Ghost Ring King was currently using the 2D mode of Dark Shadow Control, and the weakness of this move was that it couldn’t move while controlling.

As long as you force it to move, this move can naturally be broken.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread bent the knee of its other leg, intending to stomp downwards.

However, just then, Xiao Xunbao flicked its short toes upwards.

The Dark Shadow on the ground then suddenly burst out, changing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

Flame Tail Tread also lost its balance and fell to the ground due to this flick.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Immediately after, Xiao Xunbao joined its two claws upwards.

A giant Ghost Ring King, about thirty meters tall, appeared again.

Its claws pointed downwards, resting on the shadow connecting the small Xiao Xunbao and Flame Tail Tread on the ground.

When it lifted them, its shadow had already replaced Xiao Xunbao’s shadow, connecting to Flame Tail Tread.

Looking at Xiao Xunbao, it had instantly moved to the top of the giant Ghost Ring King’s head, looking down at Flame Tail Tread below.

On the other side, the fallen Flame Tail Tread took the opportunity to swing its tail forcefully downwards.

Immediately, starting from it, flames continuously erupted from the ground, furiously attacking the giant Ghost Ring King.

The giant Ghost Ring King paid no mind, pulling its shadow back.

Flame Tail Tread then endured the continuous explosions of fire and splashing rocks at extremely high speed, being pulled in front of the giant Ghost Ring King.

Skills used by a Pet do not cause self-harm because they are being controlled.

The giant Ghost Ring King’s pull was unexpected.

Fortunately, Flame Tail Tread controlled itself in time and was not harmed.

Xiao Xunbao instantly disappeared.

The giant Ghost Ring King’s head condensed a dense white light, fiercely smashing downwards onto the head of the pulled Flame Tail Tread.

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread let out a pained shriek.

At the same time, its internal control failed.

Flames erupted from underground, impacting the giant Ghost Ring King and Flame Tail Tread.

The giant Ghost Ring King directly dissipated and disappeared.

Flame Tail Tread was severely injured, letting out another shriek.

In a daze, its Yu Beast Master’s voice entered its ears:

“Above!”

“Flame Tail!”

Flame Tail Tread looked up and saw a white light with a double image charging straight down.

It knew it couldn’t dodge with its current reaction speed, so it endured the pain, straightened its tail instinctively, condensed energy, and the flames on its tail suddenly expanded several times, swinging upwards.

With a loud “bang,” it felt the white light dissipate.

But there was white light after the white light.

“Bang!”

Xiao Xunbao’s head, condensing white light, slammed fiercely onto Flame Tail Tread’s head.

Despite being a tiny head, it still made Flame Tail Tread see stars and sway.

“Ghost Ring King has once again hit Flame Tail Tread with Mind Headbutt!” On the commentary stand, Tian Yiwan shouted:

“Ghost Ring King first used Substitute to perform Mind Headbutt, and then its main body performed it! Successfully tricking Flame Tail Tread’s skill!”

“Having two Ghost Ring Kings on the field at the same time is truly deceptive.” Tang Xueyi exclaimed.

As she spoke, Flame Tail Tread swayed, closed its eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud.

“Is the result of the second match about to be announced?” Tian Yiwan asked.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Flame Tail Tread, awaiting the result.

A mechanical referee appeared out of thin air, came to Flame Tail Tread’s side to observe it, and then raised a green flag towards Qiao Sang’s position.

A giant virtual screen appeared.

The photo of Flame Tail Tread below Xiang Wenyi changed from color to black and white.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao heard the result, let out a sigh of relief, and wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead.

It felt that it had used up a lot of its energy and might not be able to achieve a three-win streak like its junior…

As the thought flickered, cheers erupted from all directions.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao stared blankly at the excited audience cheering for it, and suddenly felt like it could do it again.
