Chapter 219: The Result Can Be Announced

The female teacher's pupils contracted sharply.

Another pet beast?!

Right, she remembered that in the very first battle, when Qiao Sang summoned Treasure Ghost, the star array had indeed been gray...

The female teacher was silent for a long moment before slowly uttering a single word: "Alright."

Xue Chuhua, who had overheard the conversation nearby, felt her heart begin to pound.

Good lord, wasn't this basically handing the school team slot straight to him?

That变态 junior sister across from her had only just become a beast master not long ago; having one heaven-defying Treasure Ghost was already a blessing from her ancestors, so her second pet beast absolutely couldn't be as overpowered as Treasure Ghost.

Against an ordinary beginner pet beast, wouldn't he take it down in minutes!

Thinking of this, Xue Chuhua couldn't help but grin foolishly.

The Gao San students had already been unhappy about losing dozens of matches in a row, and now seeing Xue Chuhua, who had just lost, grinning like an idiot, they immediately started clamoring.

"What's wrong with Xue Chuhua? He lost and he's standing there grinning like a fool."

"Did this guy go crazy?"

"He probably got stimulated silly."

"Honestly, I'm not even surprised he lost. That Treasure Ghost is too overpowered — it learned Shadow Control and even has the Psychic attribute. Challenging above its level is nothing to it, definitely a piece of cake."

"You can't put it that way either. In that last battle, Treasure Ghost was clearly at a disadvantage — it was the beast master's commands at the end that turned it around."

At that moment, someone called out: "Huh? Why is Treasure Ghost floating out of the battle zone?"

The crowd fell silent and looked toward the field.

Treasure Ghost floated over beside Qiao Sang, took off the ring, and used its claws to pull out a bottle of milk, opened it, and started drinking.

Did it get hungry from fighting?

Before the crowd could marvel at why Treasure Ghost still wasn't weaned, the whistle blew.

"What a shame. If you'd sent out Treasure Ghost again, I'm sure this would've been a spectacular match, but now…" Xue Chuhua's lips curled up as he formed hand seals. "Come out! Big Ice Cube!"

The pet beast within the gray star array was pale blue all over, with yellow pupils, two diamond-shaped white antennae, and twenty pairs of hook-shaped legs.

Qiao Sang was stunned. A Snow Centipede — a Bug- and Ice-type pet beast — its attributes were perfectly countered by Ya Bao…

Of course, attributes didn't decide victory; examples of winning against the type disadvantage were everywhere.

Though she thought this, she couldn't lose her momentum… Qiao Sang gazed at the Snow Centipede, surrounded by cold air, and sighed:

"If this round had been a Dumb Bear, we'd still have a fighting chance, but now…"

Xue Chuhua: "???"

Qiao Sang formed hand seals.

The next instant, the temperature of the arena shot up sharply.

Perfect, fluid lines; an overwhelming, awe-inspiring presence; chilling fangs; gorgeous white fur streaked with several flame-like, dazzling red stripes.

"Ya!

"

A cry brimming with power rang out through the Holy Water Hall.

Staring at the pet beast that had appeared on the field, the entire crowd went silent, as if struck by a Silencing Spell.

Xue Chuhua stood rooted to the spot, his voice cracking: "Flame… Flame Listening Dog?!"

That shout was like a starting gun — a deafening roar of voices erupted instantly, and the scene exploded.

"Holy crap! Flame Listening Dog! It's really a Flame Listening Dog!"

"How does this monster have another pet beast?!"

"Where's my phone! Where's my phone! I need to take a picture!"

"Oh my god! This is way too strong! Is she really a freshman?!"

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think the beast master of a Flame Listening Dog would be right next to me!"

"Wait, I want in! I've never battled such a rare pet beast. Too bad the school doesn't allow phones — if I could record this and upload it to Yu Yu, it'd get at least a million likes."

"... Um, maybe this senior could actually win?"

"I remember Flame Listening Dogs are Fire-type just like Fire Fang Dogs, right? Snow Centipede is countered in every way — how could he win?"

At this moment, Xue Chuhua was completely dumbfounded.

She'd cultivated the latest evolution of Fire Fang Dog, the Flame Listening Dog, and on top of that had a Treasure Ghost with the Psychic attribute that had mastered a high-level skill — and you call this a freshman?!

"Ya!"

Ya Bao looked around at the surroundings and the opponent before her, and let out an excited howl toward the sky.

Finally, there's a fight to be had!

"Freeze Ray!"

Hearing Flame Listening Dog's cry, Xue Chuhua's heart clenched and he hastily issued the command.

Since the type matchup was already against him, at the very least he had to keep the pace of the battle in his own hands!

The Snow Centipede didn't hesitate either. It opened its mouth, and instantly two streams of freezing air condensed before it, rapidly forming an ice line that stretched forward.

At the same level, Ice-type skills had a hard time dealing fatal damage to Fire-type pet beasts.

Still, Xue Chuhua wasn't counting on a single Freeze Ray to defeat the Flame Listening Dog — he just hoped that hitting it would slow its movements a bit.

"Ya!"

Ya Bao's eyes burned with fighting spirit.

Watching the white ice line shoot toward her, she didn't choose to dodge. Instead, her right hind leg dug into the ground, and a burst of flame instantly swept over her body from the inside out. Immediately after, she charged fearlessly straight at the incoming Freeze Ray.

The white ice line collided with the flames burning around Ya Bao, and like ordinary white thread, it was utterly fragile, vanishing in an instant.

"Are all Fire-type pet beasts this brave?"

In the audience seats, a student exclaimed in surprise.

"Most of them are pretty brave, but someone this brave is still rare." a student beside remarked with feeling.

"The Snow Centipede won't get one-shotted, right?"

"Getting one-shotted is impossible — Xue Chuhua was, after all, someone who made it onto the school team."

He was, after all, someone who had been selected for the school team back in his first year of high school. Although Xue Chuhua was inwardly panicking like crazy, his commands were not the slightest bit disordered.

"Use Blizzard on the ground!"

The Snow Centipede's mouth parted slightly, and gusts of cold air swept down. The field was instantly frozen over with a thick layer of frost.

The frost spread forward from the Snow Centipede's position, rapidly closing in on Yaobao, who was using Flame Charge to keep approaching.

If one had to name the only part of Flame Charge that didn't wrap the Yanling Hound up, it would be the paw pads beneath its claws. As long as the Yanling Hound kept running over at this speed, even if its four limbs weren't frozen, it would definitely slip and crash to the ground!

Just as Xue Chuhua was watching with bated breath for the Yanling Hound to make contact with the frost on the ground, Qiao Sang spoke up: "Fire Fang."

Fire Fang?

Xue Chuhua froze for a moment, not yet having processed it, when the Yanling Hound, its entire body wrapped in raging flames, abruptly vanished from sight.

The next second, the Yanling Hound, the flames around its body already dissipated, appeared out of thin air behind the Snow Centipede!

"Fang!"

Yaobao proudly raised its head, and violent fire-type energy instantly condensed in the air.

Two streams of flame imbued with terrifying aura rapidly coalesced, resembling a crimson scythe of death, or an enlarged version of a fang.

Xue Chuhua: "!

!"

Xue Chuhua was thoroughly panicked: "Big Ice Block! Dodge, quick!"

But it was already too late.

Fire Fang bit savagely into the Snow Centipede's body.

"Snowy!

!"

The Snow Centipede let out a heart-wrenching shriek.

Three seconds later, looking at the Snow Centipede collapsed on the ground, Qiao Sang turned to look at the female teacher beside her, who was standing there in a daze, and said: "Teacher, you may announce the result."
