Chapter 401: Qiao Sang VS Tang Zhongyi

Jaw-Electric Bug, an intermediate pet beast of the Bug and Electric types from the Lianke Region, skilled at using acrobatic flight to disrupt the opponent, and then seizing the moment the opponent is timid to unleash an Electric Beam... Qiao Sang looked at the bug-type pet beast with yellow eyes and a pair of large mandibles in front of her, its information surfacing in her mind.

Almost the moment the battle was announced to start, the Jaw-Electric Bug launched an attack immediately.

At this stage of the divisional qualifiers, when a Beast Tamer launches an attack without even opening their mouth, it basically means a combat plan was formulated before the match.

"Jaw!"

A yellow electric arc shot from the Jaw-Electric Bug's mouth toward the direction where Lubao was located.

Lubao's figure flickered, constantly changing direction to dodge the attack.

The lightning landed on the ground, blasting shallow pits into the arena.

The audience was noisy, and everyone's expressions changed constantly within the few seconds since the battle started.

"The opponent's pet beast has Electric attributes, what can be done about this?"

"Holy crap, this lightning is trying to fry Ice Luqiya, right! So ruthless! Where's the referee? Referee!"

"Oh my, Ice Luqiya is worthy of its name. Most other Water-type pet beasts have their movement speed slowed down on land, look, it doesn't!"

"It's unfair! Why isn't it a Water arena! Competing in our Ancient Mist Region, the arena should be in the water!"

On the field, Lubao had already broken through the dense offensive and closed the distance with the Jaw-Electric Bug.

According to the data, Ice Luqiya's close-range attack is Water Tail. Judging by this distance, it should be wanting to use this move. It's too late to use an Electric-type ultimate move to counterattack, but with the Jaw-Electric Bug's bite force, it should be able to directly bite Ice Luqiya's tail.

But if it really did that, would he be able to walk out of this battle arena?

Maybe it's better to just dodge, but this is a competition, if it really dodged, wouldn't it just continue attacking later... Tang Zhongyi's brain was like an overloaded CPU, almost burnt out.

"Bite it!" Just as Ice Luqiya was only half a meter away from the Jaw-Electric Bug, Tang Zhongyi still instinctively issued the command.

This was an instinct born from long-term battle training.

But the moment it left his mouth, Tang Zhongyi regretted it.

Who gave him the courage to let the Jaw-Electric Bug bite Ice Luqiya?!

Ice Luqiya could dodge an Electric shock, but how could it dodge a tail delivered right to its mouth?

It's over, it's over! I won't die at 17, will I... Various thoughts popped up in Tang Zhongyi's mind, and panic struck like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Qiao Sang said: "Ice Claw."

"Lu."

Lubao raised its claw high, and a surge of Ice power instantly condensed on its claw, turning into a terrifying tearing weapon, attacking the Jaw-Electric Bug without mercy.

At the same time, the Jaw-Electric Bug opened its mouth and bit down on the incoming Ice Claw without hesitation.

Then, it froze.

"Jaw..."

So cold, so hard...

In the moment of its daze, the ice surged, the Jaw-Electric Bug retreated several meters, and a thin layer of ice covered its mouth.

Seeing this scene, the audience instantly boiled over.

"Beautiful!"

"Still trying to bite Ice Luqiya! Serves you right!"

"Ice Luqiya, you are the best!"

In Qiao Sang's match videos, Ice Luqiya basically used Water-type moves, almost forgetting it also knew Ice-type skills... Tang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had survived a disaster.

The Jaw-Electric Bug bit down hard, and the ice in its mouth instantly shattered.

"Jaw!"

Then, it turned its head and let out a loud cry at its own Beast Tamer.

Tang Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then his disrupted thoughts gradually calmed down.

What was he doing? Winning or losing aside, he had finally made it this far, and he was actually worried about hurting his opponent!

"Fly up!" Under the Jaw-Electric Bug's reminder, Tang Zhongyi quickly adjusted his mentality.

Just as Tang Zhongyi was adjusting his mentality, Lubao's Icy Wind had already been unleashed.

The Jaw-Electric Bug flapped its wings, and just as it left the ground, the bone-chilling cold wind appeared before its eyes.

The Jaw-Electric Bug felt the crisis, and its speed suddenly increased.

But it was too late, its right wing was still hit by the cold wind, and a thin layer of ice froze over it.

Tang Zhongyi's heart sank. The Jaw-Electric Bug's greatest strength was relying on acrobatic flight to disrupt opponents.

Now that its wing was injured, its flight speed would definitely be slowed down. How could it make the opponent timid now...

"Jaw!"

Saying "fly up" meant using flight to disrupt the opponent; this was a secret code between it and its Beast Tamer.

The Jaw-Electric Bug endured the discomfort and increased the frequency of its wing flapping.

Qiao Sang looked at the field and saw the Jaw-Electric Bug constantly and flexibly changing its flight direction. Every time it seemed like it was about to get close to Lubao, it would change direction again, as if playing around.

Tsk, if the Jaw-Electric Bug's wing wasn't injured, under high-speed flight, although it wouldn't be possible to make Lubao timid, it would really have had a chance to cause Lubao a certain amount of psychological pressure... Qiao Sang thought calmly.

"Lu."

Lubao looked at the Jaw-Electric Bug flying around it, its expression as cold and aloof as ever.

This is too calm... Tang Zhongyi stared at Ice Luqiya's unchanging expression, unable to find a suitable opportunity to attack for a long time.

Just then, Lubao suddenly sprayed Powder Snow in a certain direction in the air.

At that time, the Jaw-Electric Bug was still flying.

The next second, everyone saw the Jaw-Electric Bug foolishly flying in the direction where Ice Luqiya had just sprayed the Powder Snow.

Among all of Lubao's Ice-type skills, Powder Snow had the highest proficiency.

The white snow crystals fell on the Jaw-Electric Bug's face, instantly freezing its entire body.

"Tang Da-Bug!" Tang Zhongyi shouted loudly.

"Water Tail." Qiao Sang looked at the frozen Jaw-Electric Bug, feeling a bit uneasy, and decided to let Lubao deliver the final blow.

"Lu."

Lubao leaped up, and the water flow instantly swept onto its tail.

"Bang!"

The tail wrapped in water flow struck the Jaw-Electric Bug, directly slapping it onto the ground.

The ice slightly cracked, and on the huge holographic screen, everyone saw the fainted Jaw-Electric Bug.

In the audience, cheers erupted instantly, and there were no shortage of people excitedly hugging each other.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Ice Luqiya won!"

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"Ah! Ah! Ice Luqiya is so cool! I love it!"

"Won! Won!"

People who didn't know, just looking at this scene, would have thought it was a scene of victory at some Interstellar Competition.

In the contestant area, except for Sun Boyi and the Ancient Mist Region's coach, the other coaches were frowning.

"This Ice Luqiya seems to be able to predict the Jaw-Electric Bug's flight trajectory."

"How is that possible, that Jaw-Electric Bug was flying randomly." The person next to him said, full of disbelief.

Predicting the opponent's next move is basically something only Psychic-type pet beasts can do. Even if the insight is advanced, it shouldn't be something a high school student's pet beast can do.

"Or it has skills related to vision, causing the Jaw-Electric Bug's speed to actually be slowed down in its eyes."

The person on the side stopped talking.

If Ice Luqiya had skills related to vision, it really was possible.

Even if the speed wasn't slowed down in its eyes, but its vision was advanced, it could clearly see the opponent's movement trajectory. When the opponent just changed direction and had only flown less than a meter in a certain direction, it was indeed possible to predict the position where the opponent would appear next. After all, in such a short time, it must be in the same direction.

This person thought for a moment, took out the tablet he carried, opened the file, flipped to the page of Yuhua Region contestant Qiao Sang, and wrote:

【Ice Luqiya's eyes are unusual】

The first match ended, and the countdown to summon the next pet beast didn't appear immediately.

Instead, a super-burning BGM started playing, its momentum magnificent and shocking.

Qiao Sang silently supported her forehead; this BGM was an interlude representing victory in a war movie.

It was just a battle between intermediate pet beasts just now, it didn't fit at all...

"Friends! Was the match just now exciting!" Yi Ao held the microphone and interacted excitedly.

"Exciting!" The audience shouted in unison.

"Tell me! Who won just now!" Yi Ao continued the interaction.

"Ice Luqiya!"

The audience's voice resounded throughout the entire battle arena.

"Lu..."

Lubao heard so many people shouting its name in unison for the first time.

It was stunned for a moment and glanced at the audience.

Just that one glance, and the audience exploded again.

"Holy crap! Was our voice just now too loud and scared it?"

"Ahhhhhhhh! Ice Luqiya looked at us!"

"Damn it, if I had known, I would have bought tickets for Area C!"

"Ah! I bought the wrong tickets! I shouldn't have bought the first row!"

Yi Ao suddenly felt a bit depressed that he was a host, standing too high up, Ice Luqiya couldn't see him at all!

"Teacher Yi, follow the process!" In the earpiece, the staff's voice sounded.

Yi Ao stabilized his mentality, held the microphone, and said loudly:

"Next is the last match of this morning, let us count down, okay!"

"3!"

"2!"

While the audience was counting down, Qiao Sang pondered the situation ahead.

According to the data, Tang Zhongyi's pet beast now only had Light-Light Grass left.

Light-Light Grass, an intermediate Grass-type pet beast from the Lianke Region, like the Jaw-Electric Bug just now, in a certain aspect, it also countered Lubao.

Qiao Sang had the urge to swap Lubao out, but looking at the fanatical appearance of the audience, she felt it was a bit unethical to swap out Lubao, whom everyone was looking forward to, on the first day.

Especially since her ears were sharp, she heard many people crying after seeing Lubao.

Forget it, we still have an Ice-type... Qiao Sang gave up the idea of swapping Lubao.

"1!"

As the countdown ended, the last match began.

Light-Light Grass can absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. Fortunately, the ceiling is closed, so sunlight can't shine in... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in front of her, which was generally yellow, and thought to herself.

Lubao took the lead and sprayed Water Gun.

The thick Water Gun shot straight toward the direction of Light-Light Grass.

Why not use Ice-type skills, the damage caused by Water-type skills is clearly not big... Tang Zhongyi responded: "Dodge, use Green-Green Field!"

Water Gun is a straight-line spray, Light-Light Grass jumped three steps to the side and easily dodged it.

"Light-Light!"

Immediately after, Light-Light Grass let out a cry, and its two feet emitted a tender green light.

This light penetrated deep into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it covered more than half of the arena in front of Light-Light Grass.

Green-Green Field can allow all pet beasts standing on the ground to recover a small amount of stamina, and additionally, the power of Grass-attribute skills can be increased by 30%.

Lubao has Healing Light, Green-Green Field recovers stamina, not energy, so it doesn't have much effect on Lubao.

The biggest beneficiary is still Light-Light Grass... Qiao Sang made a prompt decision and decided to follow the plan arranged earlier:

"Melt into Water!"

Hearing her Beast Tamer's words, Lubao jumped forward and disappeared.

Unleashing Water-type skills wasn't for attacking, but for hiding its tracks.

At this stage of the divisional qualifiers, as long as one has the heart, one can learn what kind of characteristics the opponent's pet beast used in previous matches.

Regarding Ice Luqiya's Melt into Water, Tang Zhongyi wasn't surprised.

He decisively said: "Grass Knot!"

Light-Light Grass closed its eyes.

I don't know if it's the problem of Green-Green Field strengthening the power of Grass-type skills, or if she had only seen Grass-type pet beasts use Grass Knot in videos, but Qiao Sang felt a slight sense of crisis in her heart.

Grass Knot, an intermediate Grass-type skill, can cause knotted grass to suddenly emerge from the ground to trip the opponent, thereby causing damage.

The heavier the opponent's weight, the stronger the power.

Logically speaking, Lubao is now dissolved in water, it's liquid, so Light-Light Grass using this move should be ineffective.

Could it be that it can detect where Lubao is emerging from, and then use this move?

Always think of the opponent as powerful, just assume it can detect it!

Qiao Sang waved her hand and said loudly: "Use Ice Claw first, then continue!"

A small puddle of water on the ground rippled, and just as Lubao's head emerged from this puddle, Light-Light Grass suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes were glowing green at this moment.

At the same time, two blades of grass glowing green suddenly emerged from the ground on both sides of this puddle and connected above.

As long as Lubao's entire body appeared, it would definitely be tripped.

Every spectator's heart was instantly lifted, wishing they could immediately take the stage and pull out that eyesore Grass Knot.

On the field.

Lubao's body darted out from that small puddle of water at high speed.

It wasn't tripped.

Because as half of its body emerged from the water, its front claws were condensing sharp Ice Claws exuding cold air.

Lubao swung its sharp claws forward, and with a "swish," it cut the knotted grass in two.

Immediately after, the water flow swept up, and Lubao, wrapped in the water flow, rushed straight into the sky.

The threat of Water-type skills isn't big, but Water Jet also has physical attack, it will definitely cause damage. However, if it holds on against this move, and takes the opportunity to hit Ice Luqiya with Light-Light Grass's current 30% increase in Grass-type skill power, maybe the advantage in the subsequent battle will be in his hands... Tang Zhongyi's brain operated rapidly, staring at Ice Luqiya, who was already attacking downward, without issuing a command immediately.

Light-Light Grass didn't dodge or evade, and just as Water Jet was about to collide, Tang Zhongyi shouted loudly:

"Bind, use Leech Seed!"

Tang Zhongyi thought very well, as long as Light-Light Grass held on against this move and planted Leech Seed on Ice Luqiya, then Leech Seed would consume its status every once in a while.

Even if Ice Luqiya used Healing Light, it could only heal for a moment.

Leech Seed can continuously consume status, Ice Luqiya can't keep using Healing Light, unless it doesn't care about energy consumption.

"Light-Light!"

Light-Light Grass extended its short claws, and vines shot out from its short toes.

Leech Seed's effect is not bad, but the opponent is not a target, it's impossible to stand still and let Leech Seed get on its body. This guy wants to let Light-Light Grass bind Lubao, control it, and then use Leech Seed at close range.

In just an instant, Qiao Sang thought of the opponent's intention.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the attack power of Lubao, who had already drunk the S-tier Potential Enhancement Agent.

"Lu!"

Lubao let out a cry, and when it was only about 5 centimeters away from Light-Light Grass, the water flow suddenly expanded three times.

"Light-Light!"

Light-Light Grass couldn't hold on and was knocked flying backward.

"Tang Da-Light!" Tang Zhongyi said, full of disbelief. ===== CHAPTER 402 =====

"Tang Daguang!" Tang Zhongyi was full of disbelief.
