"Ah! We won! We won again!"
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Steel Power Supreme! Steel Power Supreme!"
"A pet with bond evolution is amazing. I couldn't figure out Qiao Sang's thoughts at all, nor could I guess Gang Quan Huang Ji's next move."
"I really want to have a pet that evolves through a bond system..."
"You should calm down. Not all pets that have undergone bond evolution can do this. It requires the bond power to reach a very high level."
"Although Nushizhe was in control and launched attacks for a period of time in the match just now, I feel that it is no match for Gangquan Huangji at all."
"Yes, I feel the same way. Although both are defensive pets, Steel Power Emperor feels significantly stronger than Stone Slayer."
"Steel Power Emperor is not defensive; I feel it's offensive. It has both a Holy Sword and a Skywing Blade. Have you ever seen a defensive pet with two offensive super-level skills?"
"Putting aside its skills, it's definitely a defensive type. Even when such a huge rock hit it, it didn't even shake."
“Nu Shi Zhe is no match for Gang Quan Huang Ji. It has only recently evolved, while Gang Quan Huang Ji seems to be a mid-stage royal-level pet.”
"Mid-stage Emperor level? How did you figure that out?"
"Yin Zhongsi said so. It has a very sharp eye, and it is a late-stage royal-level pet beast itself, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Holy crap, mid-stage Emperor level, that means he's even stronger than the Netherworld Lord?"
"Shut up! Little Treasure Hunter is invincible!"
"It's not that the Netherworld Lord is invincible, but if there weren't any pets that specifically countered its characteristics, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's invincible among pets of the same level."
"Xia Huo, a student of the prestigious Yantian University, who also possesses five royal-level pet beasts, actually lost all five rounds of the competition. This is truly something I didn't expect..."
“It’s normal for Nu Shizhe to lose to Gang Quan Huangji, but Xia Huo really had problems in the first four games. If she had sent Huo Xixing out to fight in the second game, she wouldn’t have lost like this.”
"That's terrible. If I were Xia Huo, I think I would be depressed for a while. Just a few days ago, when Nu Shizhe evolved, the media said she was a strong contender for the championship. In the end, she not only lost, but she lost so badly."
"It's a foregone conclusion, Xia Huo will be shut out..."
"She only has one King-level pet beast left, while Qiao Sang still has so many Royal-level pet beasts. How can she win? She'll definitely get a shutout."
"This is the first time I've ever seen a beast tamer with five royal-level pets get shut out by a beast tamer with four royal-level pets..."
"Steel Power Supreme! Steel Power Supreme!"
"Ah! Josan! Josan!"
Amidst the cacophony of noise and screams, Jerome finally couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at the fallen Nushizhe, lost all interest in continuing to mock Xia Huo in the group chat, got up and left, looking completely withdrawn.
As a fellow student of the Flame Class, seeing Xia Huo's five royal-level pet beasts all defeated by the students of the Imperial Beast Taming Academy, and hearing the conversations around him, he felt a deep sense of shame.
What's even more humiliating and frustrating is that I also lost to Qiao Sang without a score, which is part of the disgrace to Yantian University. If I were to talk about it later, I would never have spoken up for Xia Huo's position.
On the field, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee's badge came to the unconscious Nushizhe, observed him for a moment, and then raised the green flag and waved it in the direction of Qiao Sang.
A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air, and below Xia Huo's photo, the portrait of Nu Shizhe changed from color to black and white.
Steel Treasure flapped its wings, its expression unchanged, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
The crowd erupted in even louder screams and cheers.
...
VIP room.
"Xiaxia!"
"Xiaxia!"
Xia Lala waved her light stick excitedly.
Michaela could no longer maintain his composure, and laughed loudly, "Truly worthy of being my student! Beating the students of the Flame Class is a piece of cake!"
"Grind it!"
The Dragon King was equally excited.
No wonder it chose this beast tamer!
As it said this, it suddenly seemed to remember something, its excitement subsided, it sighed heavily, and let out a cry:
"Grind, grind..."
Josan is a good human in every way, except he has no taste; he didn't make a contract with the little dragons of his kind...
"Spray spray."
Penjami glanced at it and called out, indicating that Josang still had contract slots available, and you could try again when she had new contract pages.
"Grind it!"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked intently at his beast tamer.
Michaela avoided its gaze and said, "Don't look at me. Josang already has a dragon-type pet, and the Dean has promised to find her another pet to contract with. The upper limit of her next pet contract must be at least a Venerable level."
"Grind, grind..."
The Dragon King sighed heavily once again.
Their racial limit is only Emperor level...
"Xiaxia!"
"Xiaxia!"
Xia Lala ignored the conversation and continued watching the figure on the high platform in the arena, excitedly waving the cheering stick in her hand.
...
"Josang has won another game! The score is now 0-5!" Nefertis announced passionately from the commentary booth.
“What a wonderful battle,” Auror said. “Nu Shi Zhe was able to see that he was going all out from the start, but he was still no match for Gang Quan Huang Ji. I feel that Gang Quan Huang Ji is like a steel mountain, which is difficult to shake.”
"Now that Xia Huo's five royal-level pets have all been defeated, I wonder if this will affect her performance in the final match," Nefertis said.
Logically speaking, when one side still has one last pet, it is possible to win two or three consecutive games, or even turn the tide of the game. Nefertis said that in the last game, she obviously thought that Xia Huo could not achieve this situation.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that her last pet was only a King-level pet, and even if she performed exceptionally well, she couldn't possibly win, so it didn't matter whether it affected her or not.
Auror thought of something and said, "I think Josang might send out Qingfeng Yunren in the final match."
"The Yin Bell".
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi showed an "impossible" expression and barked twice, indicating that any royal-level pet could win the competition in no time. Although Qingfeng Yunren was a legendary pet, it was still a king-level pet. Sending it out was just like having too much time to do nothing.
Nefertis pondered for a moment and said, "If it's contestant Josang, it's quite possible. After all, she sent Qingfeng Yunren before, even with a royal-level pet and combat power."
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi was taken aback at first, then waved his paws and barked, indicating that he was indeed a human that was hard for pets to understand.
On the field, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge came to Xia Huo's side and gave her a reminder. Only then did she numbly raise her hand and wave it back into the Beast Taming Manual.
At the same time, Qiao Sang waved his hand and retrieved Gang Bao into the Beast Taming Manual.
Xia Huo was taken aback.
"Joseph has taken back the Steel Power!" Orol announced from the commentary booth.
"The Yin Bell..."
Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that she wasn't really going to send out a king-level pet beast to fight...
On the high platform, Xia Huo took a deep breath, feeling numb yet deeply humiliated.
The opponent could have used Steel Power Emperor to end the final match directly, but instead, they recalled it to the Beast Taming Manual. Clearly, they were going to send out Qingfeng Yunren. For the remaining Bonefire King, any Emperor-level pet was the same, and there was no need to recall one Emperor-level pet and send out another.
Is she using her Bonefire King as a whetstone for Qingfeng Yunren...?
However, the next second, she thought of something, and her expression became numb again.
Even if he used her Bonefire King as a whetstone, what could he do? The other party only sent two royal-level pet beasts, yet all five of his royal-level pet beasts were rendered incapable of fighting. And the Underworld Ring Monarch was even worse...
Xia Huo showed a pained expression, not wanting to think about it anymore. Just thinking about the face of the Underworld Lord made her feel short of breath.
In the blink of an eye, the location changed.
The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee's badge blew the whistle to signal preparation.
The number "10" appeared on the field, changing continuously accompanied by mechanical sounds:
"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1".
Qiao Sang and Xia Huo simultaneously formed hand seals.
Two mysterious and profound purple star arrays lit up.
Soon, two different pet beasts appeared in their respective star arrays.
“Bone bone”.
"Qingqing".
Upon seeing the figure on the field whose lower body resembled a marshmallow, everyone's eyes lit up, and cheers erupted.
Although I really like Gangquan Huangji and Qiao Sang's other royal-level pets, dealing with a king-level pet is a matter of minutes, and there's no way to show any exciting duels. In comparison, although battles between king-level pets are not as exciting, Qingfeng Yunren is a legendary pet, which is not something you can just see in a competition.
"As expected, Josang has sent out Qingfeng Yunren!" Aurore exclaimed from the commentary booth.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi exclaimed with emotion, indicating that this was the first time it had ever seen a legendary pet beast in real life, and from another planet no less.
“Summerfire only has Bonefire King left now,” Nefertis said. “The match against Qingfeng Yunren might be the only one she can win in this game.”
Bonefire King, a Ghost-type King-level pet beast, possesses flames within its bones capable of scorching the souls of living beings. It also has an ability similar to language branding; the words it speaks are deeply remembered, like a brand. Pet beasts influenced by its language will unconsciously be affected by those words and then be trapped under those words for life… Qiao Sang looked at the familiar pet beast before her, which was about ten meters tall, with a black skull and two clusters of dark red flames in its empty eyes, and related information surfaced in her mind.
On the field, Qingbao remembered the information about the Bonefire King that his Beastmaster had mentioned before, and quickly tore off a piece of the white cloud covering his lower body.
However, at that moment, a dark red energy ball about two meters long shot straight towards them.
Qingbao had no choice but to stop his actions and vanish into the wind.
"Bang!"
The dark red shadow sphere exploded, unleashing a wave of heat and shockwaves. Despite being a burst of high-temperature energy, it had an eerie feel to it.
"The Bonefire King has infused its own bonefire into the Shadow Sphere, and it immediately unleashed a combination attack," Nefertis said from the commentary booth.
“The Shadow Orb infused with bonefire will also inflict a soul-burning effect on the target, unlike the ordinary Shadow Orb,” Auror said. “If Qingfeng Yunren is hit by this move, he will likely be severely injured. Even if he survives, he will probably suffer continuous damage afterward.”
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that Qingfeng Yunren was not large in size and could transform into wind, so it should be difficult for her to be attacked by such a skill.
“Bone bone”.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Bonefire King on the field suddenly called out.
Its voice seemed to be amplified, spreading throughout the entire venue.
Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.
"Yin Zhong." On the commentary platform, Yin Zhongsi called out, indicating that Bonefire King had cast a spell.
Spellcasting, the Bonefire King's innate skill, is also described in the data as an ability similar to language imprinting.
“What did the Bonefire King just say?” Nephthys asked.
"Yin Zhong," Yin Zhong Si called out.
"Qingbao, your ability to transform into wind will disappear..." Qiao Sang's mind automatically translated what the Bonefire King had just said.
During this time, she gained a comprehensive understanding of Xia Huo's information, including that of the Bonefire King.
The spell, also known as the Bonefire King's innate skill, must be cast by calling the target's name. Of course, it can also be cast by calling the race name, but there is a risk of failure if only the race name is called.
It seems the other party has already investigated the names of Qingbao and the others... But then again, the names of Yabao and the others all end with "Bao," so even if you guessed, you should be able to guess. If I had known there were pets with this kind of ability, I would have been more careful when choosing names... Qiao Sang realized that she had gone off on a tangent and quickly straightened her thoughts.
Spells are euphemistically called language imprints, but in reality they are a form of curse power.
Unlike most curse abilities, the words spoken through incantation will immediately affect the target's mind and take effect once heard by the owner of the name. Moreover, this ability is invincible for lower-level pets, and they will be affected for almost their entire lives.
Unless the level is raised to the same level as the pet that casts the spell, the effect may disappear over time, or it may be forcibly broken by strong willpower and powerful mental strength when the levels are equal.
As for pets of a higher level than oneself, the spell is like an ordinary sentence and will not have any effect on them.
Qiao Sang looked at the Bonefire King on the field with a calm expression.
After learning about the Bonefire King's ability in detail, she naturally made preparations in advance to countermeasures.
At this moment, the audience members, after learning what Bonefire King was saying through the subtitles on the virtual screen and the translations from their pets, turned their attention back to the arena, waiting for Qingfeng Yunren to appear.
However, Qingfeng Yunren did not appear immediately.
Suddenly, the sky above the entire arena shook violently with a deafening roar, and a bolt of yellow lightning illuminated the entire stadium. (End of Chapter)
