"Flower." A rough voice rang out, and the flower petals on the head of the Flower Shadow Beast swayed slightly, scattering visible pollen particles.
Suddenly, many, many Flower Shadow Beasts appeared in the Arc Snake's field of vision.
Upon closer inspection, many, many flower-shaped beasts transformed into many, many Lu Yunqis.
"Hiss?" the electric snake asked in confusion.
Wasn't this supposed to be a duel? Why are beast tamers on the field now? So many beast tamers...
"Arc Snake!" Lu Yunqi shouted, "Dodge!"
The shout startled the Arc Snake, whose body moved before its brain, and it darted to the left the instant it heard the command.
"Smack!"
The vine whip struck the ground hard.
The electric arc snake shuddered, still not fully out of the illusion created by the flower shadow beast.
While it was still in a daze, the Flower Shadow Beast vanished again, reappearing behind the Electric Arc Serpent. It opened its massive jaws and bit down on the Electric Arc Serpent's tail.
The electric snake, in pain, frantically thrashed its tail.
Song Siyun shouted, "Flower Shadow Beast!"
Upon hearing the Beastmaster's voice, the Flower Shadow Beast tore a chunk of flesh from the Electric Arc Snake and leaped back in front of Song Siyun.
"Hiss—" The electric arc snake cried out in pain, its vertical pupils fixed on the flower shadow beast.
Lu Yunqi hadn't expected this Flower Shadow Beast to be so ferocious, almost like a wild pet. However, pet competitions only stipulated that the opponent's pet could not be killed, not the extent of the injury.
Lu Yunqi originally wanted to bring the final battle to a perfect close with the Arc Snake, but given the current situation... he dared not take the risk.
This Flower Shadow Beast is too evil.
"I..." Lu Yunqi wanted to admit defeat.
"Hiss!" the electric arc snake suddenly hissed. It coiled its body and hissed at Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi said to it, "Little snake, we..."
"Hiss!" The electric snake indicated that it could fight on!
Lu Yunqi sighed: "Alright, this is the last time."
"Hiss!" The electric arc snake assumed an attack stance, rapidly gathering electric elements on the battlefield.
Song Siyun said expressionlessly, "You'd better surrender."
Her hands were hidden under her sleeves, her nails digging into her palms.
Lu Yunqi threw a punch forward: "Lightning explosion! Charge!"
Lightning Explosion, one of the strongest Electric-type moves. A powerful current instantly illuminates the entire arena, hurtling straight towards the Flower Shadow Beast!
The audience was stunned by the powerful energy, and for a moment the entire venue fell silent.
The host slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What an amazing electric explosion! I'd guess it's at least an advanced level of proficiency!"
Wang Bupang nodded: "Indeed, it's remarkable to have this level of skill proficiency at this level. It seems this kid also has a lot of combat talent."
To everyone's surprise, Song Siyun coldly said, "Tree armor."
Tree Armor, the most common wood-type defensive skill, is almost one of the original skills that wood-type pets come with.
"Tree armor? Is this Flower Shadow Beast a wood-type?" the host asked.
Wang Bupang said, "It's possible for a Grass-type to evolve into a Wood-type, but the chances are quite small. I didn't expect..."
The host interjected, "But with such a weak skill as Tree Armor, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Before the words were even finished, a powerful electric current collided with the paper-thin bark of the tree.
The Flower Shadow Beast's fingertips remained firmly attached to the tree armor, motionless.
"!!!" the host shouted excitedly, "It's blocked! How is that possible!"
Wang Bupang slammed his fist on the table and stood up, exclaiming in shock, "Star-level proficiency? How is that possible?"
The electric explosion had exhausted all of the arc snake's energy. Lu Yunqi was about to press the button: "I admit it..."
Before the word "lose" could be uttered, the tree armor disappeared, and the sharp leaves of the Flower Shadow Beast had already reached the vital spot of the Arc Snake.
Only Song Siyun witnessed this scene.
Without a second thought, Song Siyun jumped off the battle platform: "Cauliflower Beast!!!"
The Flower Shadow Beast paused for a moment, and Song Siyun had already run between her and the Electric Arc Snake, tightly gripping the leaf hidden beneath its body.
The leaves scratched the skin, but no blood flowed out; it was all absorbed by the leaves of the Flower Shadow Beast.
The Flower Shadow Beast seemed to have no sense of touch. It looked down at Song Siyun's wound, then looked up at Song Siyun again, and said in confusion, "Flower."
Song Siyun patted its head with her other hand: "It's okay. We won. Let's go home."
"Warning! Beast Tamer violated regulations! Warning! Beast Tamer violated regulations!" The battlefield alarm sounded, and everyone was confused about what Song Siyun was doing.
The host, as if he'd stumbled upon a major juicy scoop, excitedly asked, "What exactly happened? Why did the Beast Tamer suddenly appear?"
Wang Bupang frowned and said, "Everyone, don't panic. I believe we will be given an explanation later."
The host then remembered his duties: "Ahem, yes. The result of this match has been determined. The staff has now escorted both beast tamers and their pets away. The specific match results will be announced later!"
It's Cheng Huaijin's turn to play in the second match.
She happened to see Song Siyun leaving while she was waiting for her turn, and she noticed that Song Siyun's right hand was wrapped in a thick bandage.
"Song Siyun, are you injured?" Cheng Huaijin asked worriedly, putting aside his previous questions.
Song Siyun glanced at her injured hand: "It's nothing."
"It looks so serious, it must hurt a lot."
"It's alright."
Seeing that Song Siyun didn't want to talk about it, Cheng Huaijin didn't ask any further: "It's good that you're alright. You scared me to death when you rushed into the battlefield. What if the Arc Snake had attacked the Flower Shadow Beast at that time and accidentally hurt you!"
Song Siyun forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."
"Then you should get some rest." Cheng Huaijin patted her shoulder.
Song Siyun nodded and was about to leave when Cheng Huaijin asked her again, "Do you know the outcome of the investigation?"
Song Siyun shook her head.
Cheng Huaijin said, "If you have to leave first, I'll send you a message via communicator once I hear the results!"
Song Siyun was taken aback, but accepted Cheng Huaijin's offer: "Okay, thank you."
"Don't be so polite, we're all classmates! See you in the finals!" Cheng Huaijin smiled cheerfully.
"Okay, see you in the finals." Song Siyun smiled as well.
But the smile vanished as soon as he turned his head.
Song Siyun left the square, but unexpectedly saw Lu Yunqi being escorted into a flying car that was clearly not up to the standard in Dongcheng.
She had seen such a flying car in one of her mother's books, a limited edition of 100 in the Milky Way.
She also saw someone she'd seen on television. If she remembered correctly, that person was one of the secretaries of Ms. Astaria Ross, the mechanical beast expert.
When Ms. Ross came to Dongcheng to give a speech, Song Siyun, as a student representative, participated in presenting flowers. She remembers it very clearly, there is absolutely no mistake.
What is the relationship between Lu Yunqi and the Ross family?
The vibration of the communicator interrupted Song Siyun's thoughts.
