Chapter 221: Do You Have a Plan?

The spectator stands.

A middle-aged man in his forties sitting behind Wang Weidou suddenly leaned forward and said in a low voice:

"This student, relying on the fact that she has some strength, doesn't put the other classmates in her eyes, has caused such a huge disturbance, and disrupted the order that should have been there. Are we just going to let this continue without doing anything?"

Wang Weidou frowned and glanced at him: "Right now it's the school team's strength demonstration segment. She's just stirring up the atmosphere to get more people up to challenge her. Where has she disrupted the order?"

"What you say isn't wrong, but she's already fought dozens of rounds. No one else wants to go up and challenge anymore, yet she insists on doing this." The middle-aged man said: "There are still 5 school team members waiting after this. Isn't this wasting everyone's time?"

What teacher would complain that a student has fought too many rounds… Wang Weidou's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yao beside him suddenly asked:

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I think that since the students can't beat her, we teachers should go up and properly deflate her arrogance, so the remaining school team members can go up and compete sooner." The middle-aged man said with a serious expression.

Wang Weidou: "……"

If you want the teleportation manual, just say so. You had to badmouth her and beat around the bush for so long — he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to curse.

……

On the field, challengers went up one after another.

Ya Bao's expression went from the initial excitement, to casualness later, and finally to weariness.

Besides fighting for too long, another reason was that the opponents coming up were really too weak!

Basically one move took out each one — nothing like the three-hundred-round battle it had originally imagined.

"Ya Bao, that's the 101st one, hang in there!" Qiao Sang shouted.

"Ya Ya!" Hearing her beast master's encouragement, Ya Bao instantly perked up again.

It could still keep going!

One move, Flame Vortex, directly sent the newly appeared Bai Sha Fox crashing to the ground unable to get up.

Watching the invincible Flame Listener Hound on the field, in the section where Gao Er (1) Class sat in the spectator stands, a bespectacled boy with freckles on his face spoke up:

"This Flame Listener Hound isn't just powerfully strong, its stamina is also exceptionally abundant. The students going up usually only focus on studying and have basically no combat experience. At this rate, who knows when it'll finally be worn down."

"Zhou Ren, do you have some kind of plan?" a classmate beside him asked.

Don't be fooled by Zhou Ren usually being like a man of few words — when he speaks, he always hits the key point, and he has a particularly large number of sneaky ideas in his head. So the moment he spoke, the classmate felt this guy might actually have a plan.

"I do have one, indeed." Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up, and a gleam of wisdom reflected off the lenses.

"What is it? Hurry up and tell us!" the classmate beside him said excitedly.

The surrounding classmates also leaned in to listen.

"From the moment she said that as long as someone beats her, every challenger who goes up can get a teleportation manual, this stopped being a 1v1 match." Zhou Ren said.

The classmate beside him gestured with his eyes for him to continue.

"I've observed that every 5 matches, this junior only calls the school medic up to replenish the Flame Listener Hound's energy and stamina." Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up and said: "She herself might not have realized this yet, but once a person repeats something with a pattern, it basically means the habit has already started to form."

"So most likely she'll fight 5 matches, then restore the Flame Listener Hound's condition."

"As long as we accumulate negative damage on the Flame Listener Hound over 4 consecutive matches, then on the 5th match we send up the strongest among us to deliver a fatal blow — the probability of wearing it down is over 95%."

The moment these words came out, the people around instinctively looked toward Wang Yao, the strongest in their class.

Wang Yao's mouth twitched as she refused: "Don't all look at me. I'm not going up. Taking advantage of someone's weakness isn't something I'd do."

What a joke — in a 1v1 she might think she could give it a try, but these guys actually wanted her to go up as that one-fifth!

A classmate urged anxiously: "Don't tell me you don't want that teleportation manual!"

Wang Yao spread her hands: "My family has money."

Filthy rich!

Everyone turned their eyes back to Zhou Ren.

Zhou Ren coughed once and said: "It's fine, we can go cooperate with other classes. After all, we're not the only ones who want to win."

"But this Flame Listener Hound reacts really fast, and it can teleport. Forget hitting it with long-range attacks — we can't even get close to it." A classmate sitting in front turned around and said hesitantly.

"That's why the pet beast that goes up is important." Zhou Ren said: "I've thought it through. The first person to go up needs to have contracted a poison-type pet beast that knows Toxic Mist. Its only task is to go up and cast Toxic Mist to put the Flame Listener Hound into a poisoned state."

"The goal is to reduce its attack power, so the second pet beast won't be one-shot."

"The second pet beast to go up is best if it's a fighting type that knows the ultimate move Double Return. Double Return can reflect double the damage the user last received back at the opponent. As long as it survives, it can deal good damage to the Flame Listener Hound."

"In that state, it basically can't one-shot its opponent anymore, so the third pet beast should be a grass type that knows Synthesis — that move can restore its own condition and nicely wear down the Flame Listener Hound."

"Under normal circumstances, after these three matches the Flame Listener Hound should be about done. But we have to plan for the worst — suppose this Flame Listener Hound has the Blaze ability. Then we need to find someone in the school whose pet beast has the Flash Fire ability to go up."

"Flash Fire can grant immunity to fire-type skills, perfectly countering the Flame Listener Hound's fire-type skills."

"But the Flame Listener Hound also has the Psychic type. We can't be careless, so the fifth person to go up should ideally be strong, with a water-type pet beast. With this lineup, barring accidents, the Flame Listener Hound basically can't hold out."

The surrounding classmates listened in a daze.

Wang Yao's mouth twitched.

Good lord — if they really follow this lineup order, who could withstand it…

"Then what are we waiting for! Hurry up and find people who fit the conditions!"

"Right! I'll go ask the class next door."

"I'll go ask Class 9!"

"I'll go ask Gao San!"

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

Zhou Ren pushed his glasses up and said nothing more — truly a man who hides his merits and fame.

……

"Gao Er (1) Class, Kong Nanhai."

The boy who went up politely finished his self-introduction and began forming hand seals.

A snake-type pet beast that was entirely black, with golden armor running from its lower body to the tip of its tail, instantly appeared on the field.

"Like Ya Bao, that's number 106, keep it up!" Qiao Sang shouted.

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao nodded.

The battle began.

"Jin Jiashe, Toxic Fog!" Kong Nanhai issued the command directly.

Jin Jiashe opened its mouth, and a ball of black mist spewed out, slowly spreading toward the edges of the field.

Before the toxic fog could drift to where Like Ya Bao stood, a flame vortex tore through the fog and struck Jin Jiashe directly.

The fog in the middle was scattered, but the surrounding fog wasn't; a small amount of black mist was still creeping toward Like Ya Bao on the field, and before long it was sucked in.

Nicely done!

Zhou Ren, watching this scene, felt a surge of excitement inside.

"Jin Jiashe is unable to battle. Qiao Sang wins," the female teacher announced without much enthusiasm.

Kong Nanhai showed no reaction, as if he had foreseen this outcome long ago.

Just as he felt he had completed his task and was about to step off the field at ease, a voice reached his ears.

"Teacher, I'd like to apply to have my Yanling Hound's condition restored."

Kong Nanhai: "???"
