Chapter 530: Losing Not Unjustly

~8 min read 1,553 words

The Steel Falcon flexibly retracted its claws, dodging the Palm-Punch Kid's attack.

"Beautiful!" The commentator exclaimed when he saw this scene: "Although the Steel Falcon's speed is not as fast as the Palm-Punch Kid's, its reaction ability is fast enough, and its control over its body is also very good."

"That's right," the white youth next to him said: "If the Steel Falcon had relied solely on flight movement just now, it wouldn't have been able to dodge the attack. That retraction of the claws was not un-clever."

The white youth is none other than the defending champion decided by yesterday's E-rank beast tamer arena tournament.

The pet beast arena tournament has an unwritten rule that the defending champion of the day will be invited to conduct the live commentary for tomorrow with the commentator.

This job is both face-saving and will attract a batch of fans, and there is also a considerable reward, so basically no one will refuse.

During the conversation between the two, the Steel Falcon flapped its wings and dodged to a high place.

It looks like this pet beast called Palm-Punch Kid should be a Fighting-type pet beast. Close combat is risky, so it's best to use long-range attacks. The Steel Falcon's only long-range attack skill is... Qiao Sang's thoughts moved, and she said quickly:

"Air Cutter."

The Steel Falcon didn't say a word, flapped its wings hard, and several white blades condensed from air suddenly appeared out of thin air and attacked toward the Palm-Punch Kid's position.

Contracting a pet beast with a smart brain is great. I didn't even communicate before the match, just mentioned the head earlier, and it knew to continue attacking the head position... The kid secretly praised the Steel Falcon's intelligence and his own vision.

"Not bad," the white youth nodded: "This Steel Falcon has been bred very well. The core of combat technique is control over the body. The higher the body control, the more sensitive reactions can be made with the same physical fitness. In the previous close combat, the Steel Falcon dodged the Palm-Punch Kid's close combat with small movements, seized the gap to attack, and succeeded, which shows that this Steel Falcon's control over its own body is quite extraordinary."

The Steel Falcon was stunned for a moment; it didn't expect it would succeed.

In its view, dodging at that time was the best choice.

【Kashi VS Kid, 0:1】

The Palm-Punch Kid heard the command, threw away the white tape on its hands, then used its legs hard, leaped up, leaped into mid-air to a position parallel to the Steel Falcon, clenched its fists, tensed its muscles, and exploded with terrifying power, then swung toward the Steel Falcon.

While moving sideways, the wings turned into two silver steel blades!

The Palm-Punch Kid's legs were too long, and it was ultimately a step slower, flying backward and smashing heavily onto the ground.

I originally thought that after studying without sleep or rest during this period, I had already gotten rid of the identity of a "poor student," but I didn't expect that I couldn't even recognize a skill now!

"Kashi, you are really a piece of trash!"

Amidst the angry cursing, the commentator didn't forget his job:

"The Palm-Punch Kid is a level higher than the Steel Falcon and still can't beat others! Hurry up and get down, don't embarrass yourself!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Palm-Punch Kid endured the pain and was just about to get up, but the Air Cutter had already struck. It didn't have time to act and could only roll continuously to dodge.

It blocked it airtight.

But just at the moment of flapping its wings, its own beast tamer's voice entered its ears:

"Block your head!" Kashi felt a chill in his heart and shouted loudly.

The weak points of Fighting-type pet beasts are mostly in the head and neck. The neck of this Palm-Punch Kid is tied with white tape. I can't bet; the unprotected head is the best choice as an attack part!

The Palm-Punch Kid attacked empty, and without a second's pause, it directly tilted its body, and its left leg, tensed with muscles, continued to attack toward the Steel Falcon.

The Steel Falcon brushed past the Palm-Punch Kid's fist dangerously.

The Palm-Punch Kid let out a miserable cry and stopped moving.

"Kashi! You trash! You actually lost to a child!"

"Steel Wing! Head!" Seeing the Palm-Punch Kid roll to the edge of the arena, the kid said.

The Steel Falcon's strongest skill is Steel Wing, which has reached the proficiency level, plus the sharp trait, which can cause considerable damage to pet beasts one level higher than it.

"Head! Steel Wing!"

Holy crap! So arena tournaments all ban props!

The white tape after being untied was over two meters long. While swinging, white light appeared on the white tape, making the entire body of the Palm-Punch Kid look like it was surrounded by a chain emitting white light.

The Air Cutter hit the ground, stones splashed, and some dust blocked the Palm-Punch Kid's vision.

"That prop is very practical," at this time, the commentator's voice sounded: "The heavy-duty protective cloth can be used as a defensive prop as long as energy is input. It can also be bound to the body at ordinary times without any weight. Every time I see the Palm-Punch Kid use it, I want one."

"It seems the newcomer to this arena tournament is not simple. Facing an opponent stronger than himself, he is not afraid at all, didn't rely on the Steel Falcon's flight ability to pull away from the Palm-Punch Kid for consumption, but instead seized the opportunity to counterattack when the Palm-Punch Kid launched a close-range attack."

"Steel, steel..."

The large virtual screen in the back row showed the match result at the right time:

"Close combat!" Kashi issued the command.

It stared at the opponent's head, flashed quickly, and the wings that had turned into steel blades slashed fiercely at the front of the Palm-Punch Kid's face.

In that 0.1 seconds, the Palm-Punch Kid's fist arrived in front of the Steel Falcon's eyes with a biting wind.

At the same time, the spectators who bet on him also had bad expressions.

The Palm-Punch Kid heard its beast tamer's words and quickly crossed its hands into fists to block in front of its face.

It flapped its wings quickly and downward, and several Air Cutters concentrated and attacked toward the Palm-Punch Kid's face.

All the spectators who bet on Kashi to win stood up angrily, almost throwing trash onto the stage.

The kid hadn't issued a command yet, but the Steel Falcon's eyes flashed; it knew now was the best time to attack.

Finally, he summarized:

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"In this round, Kashi lost not unjustly."

"Palm, palm!"

The battle experience from birth to now made the Steel Falcon subconsciously want to dodge while flapping its wings.

The Steel Falcon's eyes flashed, its body turned slightly, and the attack position instantly transformed from the original face to the top of the head.

Kashi's expression changed, and his face suddenly looked bad.

The Steel Falcon hesitated for 0.1 seconds.

This time, the Steel Falcon didn't hesitate at all, its expression instead faintly showing some excitement.

"Steel, steel!"

"Palm, palm!"

"Stand up!" Kashi shouted.

After a few times, the Air Cutter disappeared completely.

It swooped down, its wings turned into silver steel blades, and it slashed mercilessly toward the Palm-Punch Kid's head.

"And the last strike also shows its adaptability is quite good," the commentator said: "The Palm-Punch Kid blocked the front of its head. The Steel Falcon was less than 1 meter away from it at that time. In such a short time and distance, it knew to change the attack position to the top of the head. Ordinary pet beasts' brains can't turn that fast."

The white youth shook his head: "The energy that the heavy-duty protective cloth can withstand is limited, and the degree of defense is also limited. It was able to block the attack so perfectly just now because the Palm-Punch Kid itself had a strength gap with the Steel Falcon. If the Palm-Punch Kid's opponent's energy was a level higher than it, this heavy-duty protective cloth would definitely be scrapped."

However, the match hadn't completely ended, so those spectators didn't curse too harshly all at once.

What kind of skill is that... The kid was calm on the surface, but suspicious and uncertain internally.

The Steel Falcon gritted its teeth, restraining its instinct to flap its wings to pull away, and its body moved sideways 90 degrees upward.

So it was a prop. I see, I've been studying late for so long, how could I not recognize a skill used by an intermediate pet beast... The kid showed an "I see" expression after hearing the conversation, and then was shocked.

"Steel, steel!"

"Head!" The Steel Falcon's words from its own beast tamer flashed through its mind.

The opponent itself was stronger than it. Facing an opponent stronger than it, it shouldn't have a head-on confrontation, but should pull away and look for an appropriate time to attack.

The Palm-Punch Kid didn't dodge, but quickly tore off the white tape on its wrist and swung it. ===== CHAPTER 531 =====
