Chapter 386: Wouldn't she lose on purpose?

~9 min read 1,620 words

Kainan Pet Battle Arena.

The announcer's voice on the broadcast sounded: "Shengshui Middle School's Qiao Sang, Shengshui Middle School's Xu Yixuan, please take the stage!"

Both finalists are from our own school. It turns out this feeling is so refreshing... Wang Weidou straightened his back, his smile constantly widening.

Sun Boyi next to him was looking down at his phone.

Wang Weidou turned his head to look at him: "The match is about to start, and you're still looking at your phone."

Sun Boyi said: "The awards ceremony is coming up soon, and I suddenly realized that I'm not wearing a decent set of clothes."

Wang Weidou was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his own attire.

Even though he had specifically worn a formal suit before coming, the thought of the awards ceremony made him feel that what he was wearing now didn't seem quite right.

In the past, when awards were given, the most camera time went to the first-place winner, and interviews were basically all with Huang Renbiao.

Come to think of it, Qiao Sang is first place now, and he is the principal. In a while, the two major satellite channels should come to interview him just like they interviewed Huang Renbiao back then, and the camera will give him a few minutes of close-ups...

Wang Weidou's expression began to change slowly. He pondered for a while and asked: "What does clothes have to do with you looking at your phone?"

Sun Boyi replied: "I'm placing an order now. With Didi Express, as long as it's in the same city, it's guaranteed to be delivered within 10 minutes of placing the order."

Wang Weidou looked at him seriously: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Sun Boyi said: "You must have always bought things in physical stores. If you have a chance, try placing an order on your phone, and you'll know."

I was waiting for this sentence from you... Wang Weidou nodded slightly:

"Let's do it now. After you finish buying, give me the phone, and I'll also pick out a set of clothes to wear."

Hearing this, Sun Boyi looked at Wang Weidou from top to bottom and asked in confusion: "Principal, aren't you dressed quite handsomely right now?"

Wang Weidou said solemnly: "Whether it's handsome or not is not important; what's important is wanting to try the 10-minute delivery service."

【The novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, is the source-changing app that all old bookworms are using,】

Sun Boyi: "..."

On the field.

Xu Yixuan took a deep breath.

She remembered that two years ago, when the two major satellite channels broadcasted synchronously, her family would gather together, cracking melon seeds, and guarding the TV to watch her match.

This year shouldn't be an exception...

It's decided, at the very least, I can't lose too ugly... Xu Yixuan looked serious, formed seals with both hands, and summoned the Dream-Inducing Spirit.

Qiao Sang summoned Little Xunbao.

Treasure-Hunting Ghost... Xu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the pet beast in front of her.

If one were to talk about Qiao Sang's three pet beasts, the one she most hoped to encounter was the Treasure-Hunting Ghost. It wasn't that she had any confidence in winning, it was just that with the Burning Fire Dog, there was nothing but being abused, and battling against the Ice-Dew Qiya required strong psychological preparation. Although it was a competition, there was always a sense of crisis that she might go to the police station at any time.

By comparison, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost was better...

"Yin yin..."

"Xun..."

The Dream-Inducing Spirit and Little Xunbao looked at each other.

"Qu!"

The whistle sounded.

"Hypnosis!"

"Dream Induction!"

Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan issued commands at the same time.

Using Hypnosis directly...

Xu Yixuan was stunned for a moment.

She thought Qiao Sang would let the Treasure-Hunting Ghost use Teleport to get close to the Dream-Inducing Spirit first.

After all, having watched so many matches, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost's first step was basically like this. It was a pity she had thought for a long time that as long as the Treasure-Hunting Ghost got close, she would let the Dream-Inducing Spirit lead it into a dreamscape... Sure enough, the mind of the pervert Qiao is not so easy to guess...

Although they were in the same school and school team, it was an individual battle after all, and everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about privacy-related issues such as skill proficiency.

However, proficiency is easy to judge; each stage has detailed explanations and divisions in skill-related textbooks.

Xu Yixuan knew that the Treasure-Hunting Ghost's Hypnosis proficiency was very high, but she didn't know exactly which stage it had reached.

Just as Xu Yixuan was pondering, the Dream-Inducing Spirit and Little Xunbao looked at each other from afar.

One pet beast had red light flashing in its eyes, and the other had blue light flashing in its eyes.

Dream Induction characteristic versus Hypnosis, in the same level, the Dream Induction characteristic should be a step ahead. I'm not bragging, but if a pet beast of the same tier is hit by the Dream-Inducing Spirit's Dream Induction characteristic, it's basically a losing situation... Xu Yixuan's thoughts turned, looking at the calm Qiao Sang, and then thinking of something, she suddenly froze.

Come to think of it, the Treasure-Hunting Ghost's Hypnosis seemed to have hypnotized the Ruling Owl... But at that time, the Ruling Owl had been making a scene for a long time, and its state was already very poor. Under those circumstances, it was possible for the Dream-Inducing Spirit to lead the Ruling Owl into a dreamscape for a period of time...

"Bang!"

Although Xu Yixuan had turned many thoughts in her mind, in reality, only three seconds had passed. Just as Xu Yixuan thought of this, the Dream-Inducing Spirit closed its eyes, fell from mid-air, and crashed to the ground.

"Xun xun~"

Little Xunbao covered its mouth and giggled.

Xu Yixuan: "!

!"

"King of Nightmares!" Xu Yixuan shouted in pain.

This... The audience was silent.

Three seconds, just three seconds...

Even if this was just a high school competition, it was still a provincial final, after all. They never expected this scene to happen. If this were to get out, it would definitely be laughed at by other provinces...

"That, I think it actually can't be blamed on Xu Yixuan. Dream Induction and Hypnosis, maybe she didn't expect that she would lose either..." In the audience, someone tried to save face.

Xu Yixuan had confirmed that she was going to participate in the divisional competition, which represented the face of their Zhehai Province.

Losing is fine, but you can't lose so socially dead!

Must make up for it!

"I also think so. Maybe this Treasure-Hunting Ghost is much older than the Dream-Inducing Spirit, and coupled with the Psychic-type attribute, its psychic power must be a big cut above..."

"Hmm... That makes sense..."

On the field, after the pain, Xu Yixuan's face couldn't help but slowly flush red.

Thinking of the match just now, she felt unprecedented embarrassment and social death.

When she was at school, it wasn't like she hadn't battled Qiao Sang's Treasure-Hunting Ghost, but never once had she lost like this...

"Qu!"

Amidst the whistle, the second match began quickly.

Xu Yixuan steadied her emotions, suppressed her shame, and summoned the Burning Fire Dog.

The Burning Fire Dog and Little Xunbao had battled at school, so they could be considered old rivals.

Almost as soon as the whistle signaling the start of the match sounded, the Burning Fire Dog opened its mouth, and a flame containing violent energy attacked in the direction of Little Xunbao.

Little Xunbao didn't dodge, but instead raised its short toe, and a light wall less than half a meter in size quickly gathered in front of it.

The flames swept onto the light wall and were blocked for a moment.

Because the sprayed flames were wide enough, and Little Xunbao and the light wall it created were both too small, from Xu Yixuan's perspective, it looked completely like the flames were being blocked, and she couldn't see Little Xunbao's figure at all.

Why didn't it use Teleport to dodge directly... Xu Yixuan felt something was wrong.

Just at this moment, the flames broke through, the light wall shattered, and the scorching flames swept crazily onto Little Xunbao's body.

Seeing this scene, the crowd in the audience whispered and discussed.

"Wouldn't Qiao Sang prepare to lose a game on purpose?"

"It's possible. After all, they are from the same school. She might not want to let the other party lose too ugly."

"Is it uglier than the previous game..."

"Even if she lets her win, she wouldn't be so blatant, right? If the Treasure-Hunting Ghost lost the match because of this hit, anyone with a discerning eye would know it's a black-box operation."

On the field.

Something's wrong, this is too wrong... Xu Yixuan's internal alarm bells rang wildly.

Please, this is the pervert Qiao!

Her Treasure-Hunting Ghost is a pet beast whose whereabouts are strange to the extreme. Even Ding Yanjing's Flash-Leaving Crow couldn't keep up with its speed for a while, how could it be hit by the Burning Fire Dog's flames in one hit?

There's a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy!

Just at this moment, the swirling flames dissipated, and in mid-air, there was no longer any sign of the Treasure-Hunting Ghost!

It's a Substitute... Xu Yixuan's expression changed, and she shouted urgently: "Be careful!"

Tsk, the reaction has improved... Qiao Sang thought to herself. ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
