Chapter 749: Wood Algae Elder

~14 min read 2,692 words

This punch was extremely fast, the fire fist dragging a trail of firelight, carrying a terrifying sound with it.

"Xun~"

Just as it was about to hit, Little Xunbao grinned and vanished on the spot, reappearing a hundred meters up in the sky.

The Fierce Ape saw its target disappear and tried to pull back its fist, only to find it couldn't move at all.

"Ape..."

The Fierce Ape lowered its head and saw all four of its limbs tightly bound by thick, broad black shadows.

The flames were still burning, and the black shadows looked somewhat distorted within the fire, but in reality they were completely unaffected, and instead tightened further.

Behind the Fierce Ape, a Ghost Ring King about six meters in size raised one claw, watching its bound opponent expressionlessly.

"Oh, heavens! A combo technique! Dark Shadow paired with Shadow Control — I simply can't believe this combination of two ultimate moves came from a sixteen-year-old competitor!" The commentator grew excited: "And this Ghost Ring King! It can actually teleport! No wonder its movements in the previous two times were so bizarre!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an ultra-rare pet beast with dual Ghost-type and Psychic-type attributes!"

The flames broke through the white ball woven from White Dark Shadow Control.

【Please Do Not Disturb: LMAO, those guys from the Prop Master Academy were all saying outside the group that fighting opponents who used to compete in the Star Cup was fair, and look how old Fang Lan is, and how old this prop master star is.】

Dust rose.

Big Xunbao teleported back beside its own beast-tamer.

At the same time.

The clamor abruptly ceased.

Shaoluoxi took out her phone, snapped a photo of the scene, sent it to the small group outside the First Beast-Taming Department, and typed:

From a panoramic viewpoint.

Audience seating, Section A, Row 5.

You became aware of the tension of having to enter the arena in sequence, your whole body taut, every move the opponent made giving you very little to associate with.

The Ghost Ring King, down at a height of eight meters, simultaneously raised its short toes.

"Fang Lan Yu still gives commands on the field that only pet beasts can understand, as always — that's also one of your little trademarks."

"Competitor Fang Lan has adopted a spinning strategy!" The commentator said excitedly: "Hard to succeed — is she planning to spin the Fierce Ape until it passes out!"

Lan Xing could faintly feel the cold air boiling outside.

Big Xunbao hadn't practiced White Dark Shadow during those two days of playing on the computer, so its White Dark Shadow Control hadn't reached the peak of mastery. White Dark Shadow only needs to be grasped slightly, and combining the two moves together isn't something ordinary... Originally thought the White Dark Shadow move could only serve to bluff, didn't expect the effect when used to be much weaker than imagined... Lan Xing watched the scene ahead, feeling satisfied.

"Actually, I think Little Xunbao losing is quite unusual — Ghost-type plus Psychic-type, and able to combine White Dark Shadow and White Dark Shadow Control. Let's not even mention whether ordinary professional beast-tamers can contract such rare pet beasts, just the combo technique alone is something ordinary professional beast-tamers can't do. Little Xunbao is only a prop master..."

【Sorry for the Laugh: Seems there's no precedent, don't some stars all have the habit of changing their age?】

"I still can't believe she's really sixteen... Putting everything else aside, that orange-yellow star array simply doesn't make sense!"

Below the audience seats, all the prop masters and supporters of Big Xunbao suddenly burst into an uproar.

In front of the giant vine, Wood Algae Elder kept its mouth open, maintaining the posture of a low cry, likewise turning into an ice sculpture, frozen in place.

"Big Xunbao! Go for it! I believe..."

Meanwhile, Little Xunbao appeared in the high sky, covering its mouth and snickering.

Wood Algae Elder gazed at the figure not yet fully revealed nearby, let out a cry directly, continuously gathering energy, the leaves at its neck glowing green.

Lan Xing performed much better than I had imagined... Biwai Te revealed a satisfied smile.

On the field.

The more Big Xunbao thought about it, the more it felt something was off.

"Spin!" Lan Xing didn't dare waste time.

At the same time, a deep-blue mysterious figure had just begun to emerge within the orange-yellow star array.

The Mechanical-type referee flew in front of the Fierce Ape.

Very quickly, the Mechanical-type referee blew the whistle to start the match.

"Woody!"

It wasn't the Ghost Ring King after all... Big Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Don't be blinded by Xunxun's pet beast! Our Super Qiao Sang also has a pet beast that brings its own snowfall!"

The white shadow suddenly spread and coiled wildly, instantly wrapping the Fierce Ape's entire body within it.

At that moment, the commentator seemed to recall another star competitor and said:

At the Beast-Tamer Star Competition, most of those who came to the scene were fans of the competing stars, with no betting or profit involved. Even if the competitor they supported lost, the fans would subconsciously help find excuses, not getting angry, at most feeling a vague sense of disappointment.

Shaoluoxi looked at the messages in the group, her face full of amusement.

"Using that move while the Fierce Ape's head is at its most confused — the effect is superb. The Ghost Ring King's Hypnosis skill level should be very high. I wonder if the Fierce Ape can snap out of it within the allotted time."

In the end, rich experience had the advantage. This time, a green star array lit up first in front of Big Xunbao.

"3, 2, 1, match begin!"

Summoning another pet beast is fine too — it can't possibly be as tricky as the Ghost Ring King. Now that my pet beast is summoned first, the advantage is mine!

"Oh, heavens! That's too beautiful!" The commentator said excitedly: "Lan Xing's pet beast actually has the Snow Warning trait! Its entrance not only amazed you all, but it looks like it also enchanted Wood Algae Elder — it stopped! Because it was enchanted, it missed the best moment to attack!"

"Ape!" Big Xunbao realized the situation was bad and said urgently.

Is this the seventh match, preparing not to use the Ghost Ring King? Big Xunbao watched the white-haired girl's movements nearby and instinctively thought about it.

The giant vine, less than a meter from Lubao, was covered in a thick, soft ice shell, becoming an ice sculpture.

"Bang!"

"That's right, this competitor Lan Xing is definitely not simple. The Ghost Ring King's final Hypnosis wasn't cast in a stable state — it had to match the Fierce Ape's falling speed. Its body is small, so it descends slowly, and while casting Hypnosis it also has to control its speed."

Clearly, before the match there were still people who knew nothing, but in just one short minute after entering the arena, the topic of the audience's discussion suddenly all focused on Lan Xing.

Lubao didn't retreat and dodge like its usual combat style, but instead stomped heavily with its left hind limb.

That's right, Ghost Ring King is clearly your trump card pet beast. Since you're preparing to develop across the stars, if you want to go all out in the first match, the worst case is a direct 2:0 sweep of yourself, leaving a deep impression on the audience... Ghost Ring King's battle time just now wasn't long, and it still has energy left to fight another round... The opponent should have specifically recalled Ghost Ring King to confuse the situation and make you let down your guard...

Below the arena.

Actually provoking you... Little Xunbao felt the opponent's gaze, its expression stiffened slightly, and said in a low voice:

The audience seats first buzzed with loud discussion, then the voices grew quieter and quieter.

Just as you were about to give a command, at this moment, you heard the commentator's voice.

Its looks, plus Super Qiao Sang's naturally occurring snow, made a large portion of people immediately willing to join the Fang Lan fan club, ending up opening their phones to search the terms "Blue Star" and "Blue Star's pet beasts," or directly taking out their pet beast identifier and aiming it at this mysterious pet beast below the arena.

"Is she a professional beast master? Look at the spirit patterns on Ghost Ring King's body, I always thought you were a spirit pattern master."

But its eyes were starry, and it fell downward from the air.

Little Xunbao clenched its fists tightly.

In an instant, a huge vine broke out from the ground, terrifyingly towering upward, dozens of meters tall, like a giant green monster drilling out from the earth!

The giant vine was really too long, and its speed was fast, almost in the blink of an eye it attacked right in front of Lubao.

The entire world seemed to instantly turn into an extremely cold place, the ice rapidly spreading in all directions, freezing everything along the way.

And Little Xunbao in front of it stared dumbfounded, its mouth open wide enough to stuff an egg, looking at everything in front of it in disbelief.

Accompanying its appearance was a sky full of white flying snow.

At the same time, flames ignited on its limbs, pushing outward forcefully, and the white figure, compressed to one meter, actually showed faint signs of breaking.

【You're at the scene and just want to laugh, they actually questioned Qiao the monster genius's age.】

"Ape!"

The Dark Control Shadow performed by Little Xunbao's body size can't do this, but Dark Demon Shadow can.

The long-held tension finally broke, and the audience seats erupted in a tidal wave of noise.

"If it gets dizzy directly from that, that would be too shameful!"

The whole arena fell silent for a moment, and the commentator's voice rose first:

But the next second, it suddenly stared blankly ahead, the green light disappeared, and it stopped gathering energy.

"Blue Star's player has recalled Ghost Ring King!" The commentator's eyes lit up, saying: "Is she preparing to switch pet beasts!"

It let out a low cry, and the leaves on its neck glowed green.

"Little Xunbao actually lost..."

"Flame Ape broke through Ghost Ring King's restraint, but it looks like it was still affected by the spinning interference. Ghost Ring King's hypnosis just now was truly a stroke of genius."

That Flame Ape's strength and energy are both above Little Xunbao's... must end this quickly... Fang Lan quickly realized this.

"Ghost-type plus Psychic-type, this pet beast is definitely Blue Star's rare pet beast! And it belongs to that ultra-rare batch!"

Under the panoramic view.

A pet beast that was mostly green all over, similar to a deer, with a pair of blunt and curled horns on both sides of its head, and a circle of dark green leaves around its neck, appeared within.

Little Xunbao issued another command.

"The spirit patterns on Ghost Ring King's body increase comprehension, they don't work in battle," a highly experienced spirit pattern master said.

"16 years old and still in high school, she probably hasn't developed in any profession yet..." This voice was quickly drowned out.

Wood Algae Elder heard its own beast master's voice, and its gaze became sharp.

【Specializing in Dragon-type: Understandable, when I first knew Qiao the monster genius was two years younger than you, I was stunned for a long time too.】

Eight seconds later, Flame Ape crashed heavily onto the ground.

Flame Ape, covered all over in flames, appeared on the arena.

It's really impossible that she's 16... Fang Lan Yu steadied her mindset.

"That pet beast is too good-looking!"

The reason she could win so quickly just now was mainly because she had the advantage of information asymmetry. She understood the opponent, but the opponent didn't understand her. Continuing to use the same move won't be that easy, at least the opponent won't turn its back to Little Xunbao to perform the Dark Demon Shadow... For the seventh match, still switch to Like Ya Bao and the others...

Looking at that body size, it seems like another General-level pet beast...

"I think Blue Star's Xun Xun might very well be a Coordinator!"

But the next second, it saw a pair of purple eyes.

In the high air, the white ball started spinning.

"No wonder Xun Xun can be popular..."

Frenziedly charging toward the direction where Lubao was.

"Super Su Xing~"

Ghost Ring King, up to eight meters tall, synchronized with the same movement.

Blue Star and Little Xunbao simultaneously formed hand seals.

Players switching pet beasts is nothing unusual, but the opponent is Fang Lan's person, and the summoned pet beast is also very likely Xun Xun's, which made him slightly excited.

Player area.

The audience at the scene came from all walks of life, among them were not lacking Coordinators. With just one glance, they were conquered by the pet beast's looks below the arena.

"It seems Blue Star's player has won this match." The commentator summarized.

"Within one minute, I want all the information on this pet beast!"

The white figure wrapped into a ball suddenly expanded.

Flame Ape heard its own beast master's voice, and forcefully endured the dizzy feeling as it opened its eyes.

Little Xunbao suddenly appeared in front of Flame Ape, its entire body falling downward level with its head.

As soon as the words fell, a mechanical voice rang throughout the arena:

"Boom boom..."

A mysterious pet beast appeared within the orange-yellow star array — its body almost entirely covered in deep-blue scales, a white gemstone set into its forehead, and two tails identical in shape but differing in color.

"Wood!" Little Xunbao pressed down the feeling of amazement inside her and spoke.

With a wave of her hand, Fang Lan recalled Big Xunbao back into the Beast-Taming Codex.

For a long while, no one replied:

……

So the opponent had been saying the name of the Scarlet-Fierce Monkey, and using its species' language to issue commands… impressive! This was the first time she had ever seen someone who could speak the pet-beast tongue… Blue Star gazed at her nearby opponent, her face showing an expression of "Holy crap, he's ridiculously awesome."

"But I feel like its looks aren't as good as that one's!"

Big Xunbao stood on its short toes, ceaselessly spinning in circles.

"Big brother…"

"A combo technique of two high-rank skills — even in my几十 years I still haven't managed to master a single one…"

"Big brother!"

Outside the close-up shot, the Scarlet-Fierce Monkey kept its eyes closed and did not get up.

The ordinary spectators in the seventh-tier stands were caught completely off guard, feeling as if their vision had been struck by a violent impact; one by one they stared blankly at the scene before them, as though utterly dumbfounded.

Big Xunbao raised its short toes.

"Could it be that the Scarlet-Fierce Monkey's flames can't burn away the Ghost Ring King's Dark Shadow Control?!"

During its descent from the high sky.

A bit of firelight seeped out from the white sphere, and grew redder and redder.

"I'm still stuck on this question — are you really sixteen years old…"

The entire arena fell silent.

And it spun faster and faster, like a high-speed rotating white orb, so that for a moment one couldn't even tell it was spherical.

The entire arena stirred.

"Super Su Xing~"

A combo technique of at least two high-rank skills was something he hadn't expected.

Hearing its own beast-tamer's voice, the Scarlet-Fierce Monkey's muscles suddenly tensed, and the fire-expanding ring at its neck emitted a faint white glow.

"Super Su Xing~"

"You seem like a professionally experienced beast-tamer…"

"Wood-wood."

The two intertwined together, like an exquisitely beautiful painting.

Blue Star looked at the pet beast nearby and thought to herself that, sure enough, what had been summoned was a Wood Algae Elder…
