Chapter 1087: Molilong
"Poison Ball."
The Poison Ball Mushroom called out, brown powder emanating from its body, rapidly spreading forward.
Little Tinglong obediently held its breath.
The brown powder scattered on its body, seemingly without any effect.
Guest area.
Fu Jian saw the scene on the field and said:
"Mushroom Spores is a very troublesome skill. Even if Little Tinglong holds its breath and doesn't inhale the mushroom spores into its body, they will still attach to the surface, causing mushrooms to grow on Little Tinglong's body."
"That's right." Feodor echoed: "Although growing mushrooms won't cause any harm to the body, it will have a certain impact on speed, especially for a beginner-level pet beast like Little Tinglong whose movement speed is not fast to begin with."
"Tie-tie."
Tie Daoyi called out in a tone full of trust, indicating it believed that contestant Qiao Sang and Little Tinglong would respond quickly.
During the guests' discussion, dark green mushrooms with white round spots grew on Little Tinglong's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the semi-finals, there weren't many opponents left. Before participating in this round, Qiao Sang had habitually introduced the situations of the other three contestants to Little Tinglong, so Little Tinglong wasn't particularly panicked when it saw the mushrooms growing on its body, just frowned, revealing a displeased expression.
It didn't like the feeling of mushrooms growing on its body.
"Discharge." Qiao Sang gave the command.
Little Tinglong didn't say a word, yellow electric arcs emanating from its body.
These forces of thunder and lightning instantly shattered all the mushrooms on its body.
"Razor Leaf." Wang Ruchu said.
The Poison Ball Mushroom shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves swept toward Little Tinglong.
Little Tinglong dissipated the electric arcs on its body and moved quickly to dodge.
Although its movement speed wasn't fast, under the training with Qingbao during this period, dodging these dozens of Razor Leaves was barely enough.
"Continue Razor Leaf." Wang Ruchu said loudly.
"Poison Ball."
The Poison Ball Mushroom called out.
It didn't shake its head, but instead, large amounts of white powder emanated from its body.
Wang Ruchu's expression stiffened slightly.
Paralysis Powder... This is deliberately issuing other commands, wanting me to use Paralysis Powder while unprepared... The idea is good, but the color of this Paralysis Powder is too obvious... Qiao Sang said calmly: "Hold your breath, Discharge."
The success of the cross-level challenges these past few days had already made Little Tinglong full of trust in its Beast Tamer. It didn't even think and obediently held its breath.
At the same time, yellow electric arcs emanated from its body, gathering into a bolt to strike at the Poison Ball Mushroom.
The Poison Ball Mushroom moved lightly to the side and dodged the force of thunder and lightning.
After standing still, it continued to scatter powder outward from its body.
This time, the powder was brown.
The brown powder spread rapidly.
"Hold your breath." Qiao Sang reminded.
Little Tinglong's face flushed red, looking like it couldn't breathe.
It had held its breath for too long.
Guest area.
"It seems Little Tinglong is at a clear disadvantage." Fu Jian said: "Its Discharge can't hit the Poison Ball Mushroom, and as long as the Poison Ball Mushroom keeps releasing Mushroom Spores and Paralysis Powder, Little Tinglong will eventually be hit. It looks like it can't hold its breath for much longer."
"I wonder how contestant Qiao Sang will respond next." Feodor sighed: "Although the Poison Ball Mushroom didn't listen to contestant Wang Ruchu's command, currently, its grasp of the situation is not wrong. Continuously using powder-type skills can indeed suppress Little Tinglong."
"Tie-tie..."
Tie Daoyi revealed a worried expression, clearly showing which side it supported from its expression.
On the field.
Qiao Sang said calmly: "Get close to it, Discharge."
To win, the battle rhythm must be in her own hands.
Little Tinglong held its breath, its face flushed red, moving quickly to get closer while releasing forces of thunder and lightning toward the Poison Ball Mushroom.
The force of thunder and lightning was so dense that the Poison Ball Mushroom had to keep moving to dodge, once interrupting the Mushroom Spores.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Bolts of thunder and lightning missed, causing the ground to explode.
"Razor Leaf!" Wang Ruchu gave the command.
"Poison Ball."
The Poison Ball Mushroom shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves swept toward Little Tinglong, who was moving closer.
Little Tinglong moved to dodge.
Because the distance was close enough now, the Poison Ball Mushroom clearly saw that Little Tinglong's complexion had returned to normal.
Its gaze flashed, and it instantly realized the opponent was breathing normally, so without a word, it scattered large amounts of brown powder from its body again.
The pet beasts on Yantian Star really have good battle capabilities; even without the Beast Tamer's command, they know how to seize opportunities... Qiao Sang simplified the command:
"Hold!"
Little Tinglong understood and immediately held its breath.
However, now that the distance between it and the Poison Ball Mushroom was too close, it still inhaled some.
Little Tinglong's body stiffened, its movement speed slowed down suddenly, and at the same time, dark green mushrooms with white round spots grew on its body.
A pet beast in a paralyzed state will have its movement speed slowed, and when using skills, there is also a certain probability of being unable to act.
Finally inhaled it... Wang Ruchu's expression was joyful.
Guest area.
"It looks like Little Tinglong inhaled the Mushroom Spores." Fu Jian said.
"The Poison Ball Mushroom's reaction ability is very strong, able to react to the situation immediately. It seems it doesn't battle little." Feodor sighed.
"Tie-tie?"
Tie Daoyi revealed a confused expression and called out, indicating why contestant Qiao Sang wanted Little Tinglong to get close to the Poison Ball Mushroom.
The translation was transmitted synchronously to Fu Jian and Feodor's headsets.
"If it were long-range, Little Tinglong would eventually be defeated under the dual offensive of the Poison Ball Mushroom's Mushroom Spores and Paralysis Powder." Feodor analyzed:
"If it's a close-range attack, Little Tinglong could use Dragon Tail, and there would be a chance of winning. I think contestant Qiao Sang must be thinking this way."
Fu Jian added: "It's just that contestant Qiao Sang probably didn't expect the Poison Ball Mushroom's reaction ability to be so fast."
"Tie-tie."
Tie Daoyi looked at the field, revealing a worried expression.
At this distance, it's completely possible to attack... Qiao Sang measured the distance between Little Tinglong and the Poison Ball Mushroom and said loudly:
"Leer!"
Releasing thunder and lightning from a long distance, the Poison Ball Mushroom can dodge it, and the chance of wanting to hit it is less than ten percent. But if the distance is closed, using Leer while it's completely unprepared, and then attacking, the hit rate will rise in a straight line.
Even if Little Tinglong can't hold its breath halfway and inhales Mushroom Spores or Paralysis Powder, it would at most only have a certain probability of being unable to act when using skills.
This probability is much lower than not being able to hit the Poison Ball Mushroom from a long distance and eventually losing the match.
Little Tinglong looked at the Poison Ball Mushroom, widened its eyes, and revealed a sharp gaze.
In a paralyzed state, there is a certain probability of being unable to act when using skills, but for Leer, which doesn't require action and can be performed with just a gaze, there's no need to worry at all.
A strong sense of fear arose in the Poison Ball Mushroom's heart, causing its body to stiffen, and for a moment, it forgot to continue releasing Mushroom Spores.
"Ting-ting!"
Without needing its Beast Tamer to issue a command, Little Tinglong keenly sensed the opportunity. Its tail gathered silver-white light, wanting to swing forward with force.
However, its body was stiff, and for a moment, its tail couldn't move at all.
Little Tinglong actually hit that probability of being unable to act... Qiao Sang's heart sank, and she shouted: "Use force!"
There is only one chance. Once missed, the difficulty of wanting to get close to the Poison Ball Mushroom to attack again will rise in a straight line, and the fear induced by Leer is short-lived. As long as the opponent has a brain, it won't give Little Tinglong another chance.
This distance is Little Tinglong's attack opportunity, and also the opponent's attack opportunity.
Luck is so bad... Everyone thought in unison.
"Razor Leaf!"
Seeing this, Wang Ruchu was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
"Poison Ball."
The fear in the Poison Ball Mushroom's heart had dissipated. It shook its head, and dozens of green-glowing, blade-like leaves instantly swept toward Little Tinglong.
The green-glowing blades occupied Little Tinglong's vision.
Almost subconsciously, it thought of Molilong, who was watching the match on the scene.
If it loses the match in the end, and the other party goes to its Beast Tamer to curry favor, will its Beast Tamer think it's too weak and waver...
No!
Absolutely not!
"Ting-ting!"
Little Tinglong revealed a determined expression, its tail glowing with silver-white light finally moved, and it swung forward with force against the sweeping green blades.
Dozens of green-glowing blades struck its body, causing scars to appear on it.
Little Tinglong, however, seemed not to feel the pain. Silver-white light appeared on its body, and its tail slammed heavily onto the Poison Ball Mushroom's body.
"Poison Ball!"
The Poison Ball Mushroom screamed and flew backward.
"Ting-ting..."
The silver-white light on Little Tinglong's body disappeared, and it stood weakly on the ground.
Tingbao, you did it... Qiao Sang felt inexplicably moved inwardly.
In the audience, Molilong revealed a surprised expression.
The eye-like pet beast floated to the side of the Poison Ball Mushroom to take a look.
Soon, the half of the field where Qiao Sang and Little Tinglong stood lit up with the green light of victory.
After a brief silence of 0.1 seconds in the audience, a clamor arose.
"I just thought Qiao Sang and Little Tinglong were going to lose this time."
"Me too, didn't expect Little Tinglong to use Dragon Tail in the end."
"Little Tinglong seems to have a strong desire to win. Its body was stiff afterward, clearly in a paralyzed state, but to win, it still recovered its ability to act in time. That look of wanting to win at the end was truly amazing."
"Qiao Sang and Little Tinglong succeeded in a cross-level challenge again. It seems there's no suspense for tomorrow's finals."
"Honestly, the combination of Qiao Sang and Little Tinglong is really awesome. They encountered intermediate pet beasts for four consecutive rounds and won every time. There are quite a few beginner-level pet beasts that succeed in cross-level challenges, but it's rare to see so many times in a row."
Guest area.
Fu Jian sighed:
"In the final stage, Little Tinglong recovered its ability to act, withstood the attack of Razor Leaf, triggered the Multiscale characteristic, and successfully hit the Poison Ball Mushroom with Dragon Tail, achieving victory. To be honest, I was deeply moved by Little Tinglong's look of wanting to win at the end."
"Tie-tie~"
Tie Daoyi didn't know where it took out a tissue and wiped away tears with a moved expression.
Feodor summarized:
"This match tells us that it's not terrible if the opponent is stronger than us, and it's not terrible to be at a disadvantage. As long as there is a determination to win and you don't give up, it's possible to reverse the situation and achieve victory."
"Tie-tie..."
Tie Daoyi wiped its tears and nodded.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang, with Little Tinglong hanging on her neck, came out of the Mu League Stadium with Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala and walked to an empty space with few people.
Like Ya Bao jumped down from its Beast Tamer's arms, its body slowly growing larger.
"Mo-mo!"
Suddenly, a voice that seemed to have been heard somewhere came.
Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and found that the shiny Molilong she had just seen last night was flapping its wings and flying toward this side.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked around, not seeing King Long's figure.
Teacher Mi Jiala looked at the shiny Molilong that appeared, her expression showing no surprise.
"Ting-ting..."
Little Tinglong's expression instantly revealed hostility, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body with a crackle.
Here again... Qiao Sang, with her hair standing up from the electricity, called out helplessly: "Tingbao."
The electric arcs on Little Tinglong's body disappeared.
Qiao Sang's hair softened.
"Mo-mo."
Molilong flew in front and stopped, calling out.
Seeing it staring at her, Qiao Sang hesitated:
"Are you here to find me?"
"Mo-mo."
Molilong nodded.
"Is there anything you want to find me for?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Mo-mo."
Molilong revealed an earnest expression and called out.
Upon hearing this, Little Tinglong looked at Molilong with an unkind expression, trying hard to restrain its desire to discharge and strike it.
"Steel Chief."
Gangbao called out in her mind, helping to translate.
It said it still wants to contract with you.
After speaking, it looked at its Beast Tamer, revealing an "you should be secretly happy" expression.
Didn't expect Molilong to be so persistent... Qiao Sang coughed and said in an apologetic tone:
"But I really have already decided to contract with Little Tinglong."
"Mo-mo."
Molilong didn't seem surprised by this answer and continued to call out earnestly.
"Steel Chief."
Gangbao helped translate in her mind.
It said it can battle, let you see its strength before making a decision.
A shiny Dragon-type pet beast, and completely without the arrogance of a Dragon-type pet beast... Qiao Sang was very moved upon hearing this, but then remembered Little Tinglong, calmed down, and said:
"No need, I really have already made a decision. I know the main reason you want to contract with me is because I might participate in the Interstellar Cup in the future, but that's only a possibility. Besides me, there are quite a few other Beast Tamers with monstrous talent who have a chance to participate in the Interstellar Cup. I believe that with your conditions, they would definitely be willing to contract with you."
Gangbao silently glanced at its Beast Tamer.
"Mo-mo."
Molilong revealed a disappointed expression, and then, thinking of something, took out a business card from the crossbody bag it was carrying, handed it over, and called out.
"Steel Chief."
Gangbao helped translate.
It said if you regret it later and want to find it to contract, you can contact it.
Qiao Sang looked at Molilong's earnest expression and finally reached out to take the business card.
The next second, yellow electric arcs appeared on Little Tinglong's body.
Qiao Sang's ponytail stood up like a rocket again.
"Mo-mo."
Molilong looked at Little Tinglong, then at Qiao Sang, called out, turned around, and flapped its wings to leave.
The electric arcs on Little Tinglong's body didn't disappear.
"I only took it out of politeness." Qiao Sang explained.
Little Tinglong revealed a displeased expression, but still listened to the explanation, and the electric arcs on its body disappeared.
Qiao Sang touched her hair, which had returned to its original state, and turned to sit on Like Ya Bao's back.
Then she saw Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala still looking in the direction Molilong flew, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Teacher Mi Jiala said gloomily:
"I was thinking, if I had also entered the Imperial Class and then come to Yantian Star, would my life have been much better."
Qiao Sang: "???"
