Chapter 309: Torrent Ability
In midair, 16 Sea-Nibbling Otters flailed their four limbs, every one of them wearing a panicked expression.
The vice principal of Pinghai High School suddenly realized something and whipped his head around to look at Yanling Hound.
Just that one glance, and his mind went "buzz," his expression going blank.
Although he had already guessed it, seeing it with his own eyes still delivered a powerful shock.
Yanling Hound's eyes had indeed turned the distinctive blue of Telekinesis, just as expected.
Telekinesis…
It really was Telekinesis…
Controlling 16 Sea-Nibbling Otters in different positions at the same time — the proficiency of this Telekinesis… The vice principal of Pinghai High School didn't dare keep thinking about it for the moment.
He didn't dare think about it, but the spectators in the stands were chattering nonstop.
"Th-this is a Gao Zhongsheng's level?!"
"Dammit! Why isn't this monstrous student from our school!"
"Hiss… this Telekinesis couldn't have reached Mastery already, could it…"
"Be bolder — what if it's reached the same level as Spark and Fire Fang, both at the Ultimate stage?"
"…Don't joke like that."
"I suddenly remember someone told me that this student named Qiao Sang from Holy Water Middle School seems to be a first-year."
"Who told you that? You actually believe such bull? Even among Gao San, you could barely find a few in the whole country who've trained to this level, and you're telling me she's a first-year? What are you thinking! Tell me who said it! I'll go argue with them!"
"Wang Wei Dou."
"Who?"
"Wang Wei Dou, the principal of Holy Water Middle School."
"…"
"Why aren't you talking? Should we go find him to confirm? He's been coming these past two days — see that third person from the left in the front row? That's him."
"…Get lost!"
"I'm talking to you nicely, why are you cursing at me!"
"…"
The match on the field continued.
Ya Bao tilted its head downward slightly, and the 16 Sea-Nibbling Otters slammed heavily onto the ground at the same time.
"Nie!
!"
Over a dozen Sea-Nibbling Otters disappeared one after another, leaving only the last one on the ground letting out a miserable cry.
The main body's out now, isn't it… Qiao Sang's mind stirred, and she had just been about to give the command "Flame Vortex" when Ya Bao seemed to sense something. Without waiting for its beast master to speak, a flame imbued with a violent aura spun and shot toward the Sea-Nibbling Otter that hadn't yet gotten up.
Too late!
Zhou Jing's mind rapidly spun, analyzing the situation on the field.
In the Sea-Nibbling Otter's current state, there wasn't enough time to dodge before the opponent's attack arrived, nor to use a skill to respond.
In that case, then she could only… Zhou Jing took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and said decisively: "Hold on!"
What the hell kind of command is "hold on"… Qiao Sang wanted to laugh, but had to admit that "Hold on!" "Dodge!" "Show some backbone!" "Stand up!" "I believe in you!" "Oli gei!" should still be pretty useful at certain moments — after all, the protagonists in TV dramas all do this.
Qiao Sang had just thought this in her mind.
The flame that had struck the Sea-Nibbling Otter head-on exploded, the heat wave spreading out.
The Sea-Nibbling Otter had not fallen.
Not only had it held on!
It had also stood up!
Holy crap! It really held on!
Qiao Sang was shocked! TV dramas never lie!
One had to know that although Ya Bao's Flame Vortex proficiency hadn't reached the Ultimate stage, and she hadn't specifically trained this skill, the Flame Vortex used during combat training over this period had already reached nearly Mastery proficiency.
A Flame Vortex of this level hitting an injured Sea-Nibbling Otter head-on — even if it didn't knock it out cold, it should at least leave it deeply burdened with wounds and unable to get up, right!
Yet the Sea-Nibbling Otter not only didn't fall, it stood up?
The effect of "Hold on!" was terrifyingly powerful!
Should she try it during Ya Bao's battles in the future… Qiao Sang's mind wandered to other things, but in reality she hadn't let down her guard, keeping constant watch on the action on the field.
She glanced twice at the standing Sea-Nibbling Otter and the water that suddenly surged up to wrap around its entire body, then her expression turned serious.
Something wasn't right…
Not only Qiao Sang noticed — everyone in the spectator stands noticed too.
"Didn't expect this Sea-Nibbling Otter to actually have the Torrent Ability. Looks like there's going to be a real fight from here on."
Torrent Ability — when a Water-type beast with this ability is in a severely weakened state, the power of all its Water-type skills doubles, the same effect as the Blaze Ability.
The only difference is one is Water-type and the other is Fire-type.
"Your school's Zhou Jing is pretty good, hiding her strength well. It looks like she'll be able to achieve quite a good result in this National Campus Beast Master League." The man sitting next to the vice principal of Pinghai High School turned his head and said.
The vice principal of Pinghai High School moved his mouth, holding back from speaking.
He was afraid that the moment he said something, Zhou Jing would lose……
Torrent Ability…… Qiao Sang silently mouthed those four words, the corner of her mouth curving up.
Now this is more like it!
Otherwise, if it went down in one hit, how would Ya Bao get to fight to its heart's content!
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao's expression was excited, claws tensed, striking a pose ready to attack at any moment.
"Water Jet!" Zhou Jing, looking at the Sea-Biting Civet wrapped entirely in water, suppressed her wild joy and gave the command.
The water already covering the Sea-Biting Civet's whole body suddenly swelled several times over. It leapt up, and mid-air it shifted directions rapidly and fluidly, completely beyond what the eye could follow.
It looked like nothing more than a blue stream of water darting back and forth.
Qiao Sang lifted her chin slightly, calmly analyzing the blue figure in the air.
The speed was too fast. If she had Like Ya Bao use Telekinesis, it most likely wouldn't be able to keep up, and there was a very high chance the opponent would take the opening while Telekinesis was being cast to attack.
If Like Ya Bao couldn't teleport, this really was a very tricky opponent...
"Listen carefully!" Qiao Sang called out.
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao stopped trying to track the blue figure in the air with its eyes, and instead pricked up its ears, using the sounds of the Sea-Biting Civet darting about to judge its exact position.
The water stream zigzagged through the air, faster and faster, almost forming an afterimage.
"Why isn't this Qiao Sang giving any commands?" someone in the audience said, puzzled.
"Didn't she just say it? Listen carefully," the person beside them answered.
"..."
While they were talking, the blue afterimage charged in from an extremely tricky angle, within a range Like Ya Bao's eyes couldn't see.
Just as it was about to hit, Like Ya Bao's figure abruptly vanished on the spot.
Zhou Jing's heart sank — it had dodged even this...
Then she suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted anxiously: "Don't stop!"
The current situation made her subconsciously connect it to the previous match.
The moment Big Spots' high-speed rotation stopped, Yan Lingqu appeared, and then the battle was over.
To be safe, she couldn't stop!
But the instant her words finished, the next second, her eyes suddenly went wide as brass bells.
Holy crap!
Could someone tell her! Why was there a streak of red on top of the blue?!
Yan, Yan Lingqu teleported onto the big raccoon's body?!
"Ya!"
Like Ya Bao stood on the Sea-Biting Civet's back, claws sinking into the water to grip its body, its fur blown wildly backward — quite dashing, with the air of a great swordsman.
It would just be even better if its eyes weren't blown into slits.
Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and scorching flames instantly swept over its fangs.
The large Yan Lingqu-shaped head formed by the flames bit down mercilessly.
"Nie!
!"
The blue figure crashed to the ground.
Dust rose, the water dispersed, revealing the Sea-Biting Civet with its eyes closed.
"Qu!"
The whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.
