Chapter 447: Rogue E-Pig

"Xun~"

It really did send out the Treasure-Hunting Ghost... Wu Hengxu was not at all surprised when he saw the pet beast in the distance.

Qiao Sang, 15 years old, two high-tier pet beasts, one mid-tier pet beast, walked from the qualifiers to the national tournament with an undefeated record. In the regional tournament, whenever she encountered opponents with only two mid-tier pet beasts, she almost always sent out the Treasure-Hunting Ghost to complete a "one-vs-two" sweep.

The moment he knew his opponent was Qiao Sang, Wu Hengxu couldn't help but curse "Damn it" in his heart; he was too unlucky.

Without a high-tier pet beast, he himself had never thought about how far he could go in the national tournament, but he never expected to encounter someone like an ultimate boss in the very first round.

What kind of rotten luck is this...

Compared to his own Beast Tamer's unstable state of mind, the Rogue E-Pig held a black flower in its mouth, looked at its opponent, curled the corner of its mouth, and revealed an eager expression.

Rogue E-Pig, a Ground and Dark dual-element mid-tier pet beast, impulsive by nature, famous for loving to fight and cause trouble. Since birth, it has held a black flower in its mouth; without the flower, it lacks a sense of security... Qiao Sang looked at the pig-type pet beast before her, which had many black stripes on its body, three sharp claws on each hand and foot, and a black flower in its mouth, as its information surfaced in her mind.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost stared at the flower in its opponent's mouth, revealing an interested expression.

"E-e..."

The Rogue E-Pig noticed Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's gaze, and its eyes instantly became full of vigilance.

"Qu!"

At this moment, a Machine-type pet beast wearing a referee's badge blew the whistle representing the start of the match.

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost disappeared from its spot instantly.

"Who do you guys think will win this round?" In the spectator stands, at the position holding the banner "Wu Hengxu, you're the best! Wu Hengxu, you're the strongest!", a group of students wearing navy blue school uniforms were discussing.

A girl who had just checked Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's data with a pet beast identifier said: "It should be Wu Hengxu. I just checked; the opponent's pet beast is called a Treasure-Hunting Ghost, and it's a Ghost-type."

It is common knowledge that the Dark element suppresses the Ghost element. Dark-type pet beasts are usually cruel and cunning, capable of breaking the Ghost-type pet beast's ghost-binding ability. Some Dark-type skills, such as Malicious Pursuit or Beat Up, can be very effective against Ghost-type pet beasts.

"But didn't you see the star formation of this person named Qiao Sang just now? It was green! A full three pet beasts! I heard she was the first place in the regional tournament held in the Guyu region." The short-haired girl next to her said worriedly.

"Is that the one whose Fire Star Rain of the Prairie Star Dog reached the level of Profound Truth?" A boy wearing glasses asked.

"That's right." The short-haired girl nodded.

The classmate holding the banner on the side listened to the conversation and silently lowered the banner.

"But she is sending out the Treasure-Hunting Ghost now. Even if the final result is a loss, at least she can win this round!" The girl who originally checked Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's data said.

The classmate holding the banner immediately raised it high again.

"But Qiao Sang's Treasure-Hunting Ghost also has the Psychic attribute. Not only can it use Dark Shadow Control, but it has also practiced it to the three-dimensional mode." The short-haired girl said.

The classmate holding the banner silently lowered it again.

"We cannot boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige! Even if others think Wu Hengxu will lose, we cannot think so!" The girl using the pet beast identifier said extremely seriously.

The short-haired girl stopped talking.

The classmate holding the banner felt a surge of spirit and instantly raised the banner above his head.

"Qu!"

At this moment, the whistle representing the end of the match sounded.

Immediately after, the host's voice entered everyone's ears: "First match, Yuhua Region, Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang wins!"

The students wearing navy blue school uniforms: "!

!"

One minute ago.

On the field, Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost hid its figure, and the next second, its eyes glowed with purple light as it appeared in front of the Rogue E-Pig.

Although Wu Hengxu held no hope for himself, as the school's only lone seedling in the national tournament, the coach had explained every opponent's data and countermeasures one by one.

After knowing his opponent was Qiao Sang, he hadn't watched the matches for the past few hours, but instead had been making a series of tactical arrangements for this match with his coach.

Losing is one thing, but this is a national broadcast; he absolutely cannot lose without dignity, otherwise, it wouldn't just be him losing face, but their school as well!

"Shadow Clone!"

Just as Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost disappeared, Wu Hengxu quickly issued the command.

When Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost appeared in front of the Rogue E-Pig, five identical selves appeared beside the Rogue E-Pig.

The Rogue E-Pig that met the gaze of Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's purple eyes showed no reaction at all.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's eyes faded from purple light, and it hid its figure again.

At the same time, six Rogue E-Pigs condensed a black tooth formed by Dark-type energy in front of their mouths and bit fiercely toward the position where Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost had been before it disappeared.

Bite, a mid-tier Dark-type skill, uses teeth condensed from Dark-type energy to attack. It has a certain chance to make the opponent flinch and deals great damage to Ghost-type pet beasts.

If Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost couldn't teleport, given this Rogue E-Pig's reaction speed, the chance of being bitten would be as high as 70%... Qiao Sang looked at the situation before her and analyzed it calmly.

Her gaze swept toward the six identical Rogue E-Pigs, and suddenly her line of sight fixed on the black flower held by one of the Rogue E-Pigs.

A piece of information flashed through Qiao Sang's mind: Rogue E-Pigs treat their black flowers as their lives; whoever messes with their black flower, they will fight to the death with them, even their own Beast Tamer.

Once this thought emerged, Qiao Sang immediately said:

"Burn its flower!"

"Xun!"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, whose figure could not be seen, let out a cry, and three ghost fires exuding a cold aura suddenly appeared out of thin air, randomly attacking the flowers held in the mouths of three of the Rogue E-Pigs.

The second Rogue E-Pig from the left saw this, and its eyes instantly became fierce.

As the Beast Tamer of the Rogue E-Pig, Wu Hengxu could naturally sense which one was the real body.

He clearly knew that none of these ghost fires had hit the real body.

Good chance! Wu Hengxu seized the timing and said quickly:

"Throw it upward!"

Throw, a mid-tier Dark-type skill, condenses Dark-type energy onto an item to perform a throwing attack toward a target.

The black flower held in the Rogue E-Pig's mouth was its item.

At the same time, Qiao Sang spoke:

"The second one on the left."

Three ghost fires hit the flowers held in the mouths of three of the Rogue E-Pigs, and along with the black flowers, those three Rogue E-Pigs disappeared.

The remaining three Rogue E-Pigs on the field took the black flowers from their mouths with their claws, stood with their feet apart, raised their right arms high, and made a throwing motion.

Immediately after, a stream of black Dark-type energy enveloped the black flowers.

Just as the three black flowers were about to be thrown, a black shadow suddenly sprang from the ground, firmly binding the entire body of the second Rogue E-Pig on the left, leaving only the Rogue E-Pig's bean-sized black eyes and the black flower exposed.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost appeared, grinned, and reached its claw toward the black flower.

The Rogue E-Pig widened its eyes.

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's claw got closer and closer to the black flower.

The Rogue E-Pig's eyes widened more and more.

"Jie-jie-jie~"

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost covered its mouth with its other claw and let out a villainous laugh, then its eyes glowed with purple light.

The Rogue E-Pig closed its eyes uncontrollably.

The black shadow loosened.

"Bang!"

The Rogue E-Pig fell to the ground peacefully with its eyes closed.

The whistle representing the end of the match blew.

Thus, it took one minute and one second. ===== CHAPTER 448 =====
