Chapter 308: Sea Chomper VS Flame Listening Dog

The spectator stands.

"Your school's Zhou Jing has quite the observational skills."

"This student is a hard worker. Most students scatter the moment training ends, but she's still practicing." The vice principal of Pinghai High School watched Zhou Jing on the field and smiled.

Yesterday, Qiao Sang of Holy Water Middle School ended every match in a single move, wrapping up the battle in the blink of an eye.

And their school's Zhou Jing was the first competitor to see through her opponent's movements and not get instantly defeated. Naturally, he was deeply gratified.

Zhou Jing was a diligent, hardworking child — her only problem was that her academic grades had never been anything to write home about.

This year was this child's last National Campus Beast-Taming League. During this period, she had trained several times harder than the previous two years, practically staking all her hopes on this tournament.

Everyone else had long since left, yet she was still drilling with her pet beast. Every time he passed the training ground, he could see her and her pet beast through the window.

If she couldn't achieve a good result in the National Campus Beast-Taming League, with her academic scores she probably wouldn't get into any decent university.

They say hard work can create miracles, and just now Zhou Jing had used her Sea Chomper to defeat Holy Water Middle School's He Datao.

One had to remember that He Datao had gone undefeated yesterday, and in the previous two editions he'd placed around the top 30 in the whole province.

The protagonists in movies are always ordinary people who, through their own effort, surpass geniuses.

He believed Zhou Jing could keep creating miracles of her own!

The vice principal of Pinghai High School drifted off, picturing their school's Zhou Jing defeating Qiao Sang, his inner monologue deeply stirred.

"Squeak!

!"

Just then, the whistle and the rising chorus of exclamations around him yanked him out of his reverie.

"Holy—! Cough, cough… Damn! That's Fire Fang, right?! I've never seen that form of Fire Fang in real life!"

"Is this reasonable? Is this reasonable?! You're telling me this is a first-year high school student?!"

"How did she train this?! Spark and Fire Fang both mastered to the level of ultimate technique! She must be running some kind of cheat!"

"Just based on that move, this edition of the National Campus Beast-Taming League is going to be worth watching."

"Look at Wang Weidou — the guy's grinning ear to ear…"

What's going on?

Fire Fang?

Ultimate technique?

The vice principal of Pinghai High School stared blankly at the center of the field, then went dumbfounded.

Star Spot Turtle had its eyes tightly shut and lay collapsed on the field.

It's over?

He'd only just finished silently giving Zhou Jing his heartfelt approval, and the moment his attention drifted off the field, it was already over?!

Rewind half a minute.

On the field.

Star Spot Turtle spun at high speed around to Tooth Treasure's rear, then launched streams of water from every spot on its shell, looking like a giant high-speed spinning water shuriken.

Besides the boost in power, because the water was spraying outward, the attack's range had also expanded roughly threefold.

It wasn't hard to see that any same-tier fire-type pet beast hit by this move — already at a disadvantage against the attacker's typing — would be deeply burdened and unable to get back up.

Yet Tooth Treasure's ears twitched, and as if it had eyes on its back, it vanished on the spot just as the "giant high-speed spinning water shuriken" came within 0.1 centimeters of it.

Star Spot Turtle's attack missed, but it didn't stop right away. It kept spinning at high speed until it reached its own beast tamer, then halted and stuck out its head and limbs.

But the instant it extended its head, the vanished Tooth Treasure suddenly reappeared above it, jaws wide open.

Flames burst from its fangs in an instant!

"Harden!" Zhou Jing's panicked voice rang out across the field.

Harden, a beginner-level skill, could harden the user's body to raise its defense.

Zhou Jing's response was decent, and Star Spot Turtle reacted quickly too.

But it was used to training by pulling its limbs and head into its shell first before activating Harden.

That created a gap in timing.

Star Spot Turtle's head and limbs did retract into its shell, but Harden never even had a chance to activate before Tooth Treasure's flame-wreathed fangs bit down on its shell.

If it were only that, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

Star Spot Turtle's defense was already solid to begin with, and being water-type, an ordinary Fire Fang bite would at most leave a minor wound on its outer shell — it wouldn't hurt the body inside at all.

Just when everyone thought Star Spot Turtle would be fine, the next second, flames blazed up violently!

A wild, fiery aura spread around Tooth Treasure and Star Spot Turtle.

A giant head of a Flame Listening Dog, formed entirely of fire, opened its jaws and bared its fangs, swallowing Star Spot Turtle's entire body!

And after that came the scene the vice principal of Pinghai High School had witnessed.

two Strange Force Pigs in white coats came onto the field and carried Star Spot Turtle away on a stretcher.

Pet beasts that had to compete in another match that day needed to be treated right away.

The match had to go on.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath and summoned her second pet beast — Sea Chomper.

"Chomp chomp!"

Sea Chomper opened and closed its two big front teeth at Tooth Treasure, a taunting look on its face.

"Tooth tooth!"

Tooth Treasure refused to back down. It opened its mouth and flashed its own two fangs right back.

The two pet beasts' antics sparked discussion in the stands.

"Which do you think has sharper teeth — the Flame Listening Dog or the Sea Chomper?"

"A Yan Listener Hound, look at how shiny its teeth are."

"According to scientific evidence, it should be the Sea Nibbling Raccoon's teeth that are more powerful, but pet beasts rely on skills. Just based on that move the Yan Listener Hound pulled, who'd dare say its teeth aren't powerful?"

At this moment, Wang Weidou, who had been grinning the whole time without saying a word, spoke up:

"What scientific evidence are you basing that on? As far as I know, there's currently only one Yan Listener Hound in the entire world. Whether its teeth are powerful or not hasn't been studied or published by any researcher yet."

The person who had spoken earlier was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly: "I subconsciously substituted the Yan Listener Hound for the Burning Fire Dog."

Wang Weidou looked at him and said amiably: "It's fine. Just don't casually make things up without scientific evidence next time."

He smiled on the surface, but was roaring inside.

Bah!

What nonsense about the Sea Nibbling Raccoon's teeth being more powerful than the Yan Listener Hound's!

Utter rubbish!

The Yan Listener Hound's teeth are the most powerful!

The person who had spoken earlier nodded seriously: "Got it, I'll be more careful next time."

As expected of the principal of Holy Water Middle School! Such a rigorous attitude toward knowledge!

On the field.

Zhou Jing was the first to issue a command.

Everyone stopped discussing, their eyes fixed on the field, afraid to blink.

After all, there had been a precedent where a battle ended just from turning one's head to say a word. No one dared to look away.

The Sea Nibbling Raccoon threw its arms back and ran toward the Yan Listener Hound's position in a ninja-like pose.

Then 1 became 2, 2 became 4, 4 became 8.

In the end, the 8 Sea Nibbling Raccoons split apart and became 16.

"Damn, Zhou Jing from your school is no simple matter, hiding such a trump card. With this many clones, the proficiency must be..."

The vice principal of Pinghai High School had just adjusted his mindset and was about to say again how hard-working this kid Zhou Jing was, when he noticed the person beside him had stopped talking mid-sentence, staring wide-eyed at the center of the field as if dumbstruck.

A bad premonition surged up in his heart, and he stiffly looked toward the field.

"!

!"

Holy crap!

Why are all 16 Sea Nibbling Raccoons being controlled and floating up in the air?!
