Chapter 775: The Final Match of This Tournament

The combo of Flame Step plus Flame Detonation... Qiao Sang's heart churned with a storm.

She had spent yesterday and today's rest time researching Aporon, and had also watched several highlight compilations of Mo Hu's matches; the combo of these two ultimate moves wasn't shown in any of them, so the attack just now was truly outside her expectations.

Although she couldn't see how Little Treasure had responded beneath the shockwave and flames, she could sense Little Treasure's condition.

It was clear that at the very instant of the explosion, the defense armor had played a critical role, because only Little Treasure's left claw had been seriously wounded at that moment.

It was also while the defense prop could still hold that Little Treasure executed Substitute.

Without either the defense prop or Substitute, Little Treasure would most likely have been directly defeated by that combo just now...

The opponent had hidden their strength far too well... Qiao Sang unconsciously looked toward Aporon in the distance.

Others didn't have her golden finger; it was impossible for them to train the proficiency of two skills to a high level in a short time and then fuse them.

To master a powerful combo, one definitely had to spend a great deal of time.

Yet Mo Hu's mastery of the Flame Step and Flame Detonation combo had not a single piece of news leaked out,

They had to take advantage of the period when Qiao Sang was controlled to inflict heavy damage on it.

"Li Ai!"

Qiao Sang stood stiffly in place, going from stunned to despair.

It was only in Qiao Sang's mouth.

In battles, a reversal of the situation could often draw the crowd's cheers and applause.

The flames exploded.

Li Ai let out a scream.

Qiao Sang was still in pain at this moment; before she could struggle at all, she was bound.

"Bang!"

Ghost Ring King had made its prediction based on its own command...

"Treasure!"

Mo Hu was just about to teleport, but suddenly thought of something, showed a resolute expression, and stayed where it was.

An invisible barrier instantly formed around it, enveloping its entire body.

But just then, a white shadow suddenly wrapped tightly around its mouth.

It was over, but if it could endure it, it might just be the moment to turn the situation around... Thinking of this, Li Ai stared fixedly at Qiao Sang's movements.

"Li Ai has hit Ghost Ring King head-on!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

"Treasure..."

"Mo!!!"

"Right, it's not because Li Ai is too weak; no opponent has ever hit it hard enough to trigger Blaze, so you all forgot that it has the Blaze ability!"

Soon, the mechanical-type pet beast referee flew to Qiao Sang's side, observed for a moment, and blew the whistle signaling the start of the match.

Honestly, this was the first time since becoming a beast master that he had encountered an opponent's pet beast responding based on his own commands...

Everyone was too clear on why Qiao Sang suddenly stopped attacking at such a critical moment.

"Mo!"

Mo Hu's expression was serious; enduring the pain, it raised its already charred-white right claw.

"Mo!"

Li Ai didn't move.

The Blaze state wouldn't last too long; now Qiao Sang couldn't move either, and after those two strikes from Ghost Ring King just now, Qiao Sang would probably collapse soon.

It was so hard to wear the opponent down to low health, only for the opponent to trigger Blaze and directly power up—what a joke!

Its speed was so fast that in almost the blink of an eye it slammed viciously into Qiao Sang's head.

Crimson flames overflowed from the gaps in Qiao Sang's mouth.

He hadn't expected Ghost Ring King's reaction speed to be that fast, and its judgment of the battle situation terrifyingly precise.

His eyes lit up, and he passionately began his commentary:

Her beast master's voice reached her ears; Qiao Sang, relying on astonishing willpower, gathered energy and opened her mouth.

Blaze... Li Ai's face changed, and he inwardly cursed "Holy shit."

"The final match of this tournament has begun! Let us congratulate Contestant Xun Xun on winning the championship of this Beast Master Celebrity Tournament!"

"Mo..."

The moment the words fell, Mo Hu vanished into the air, teleported to the ground, and placed its left claw on the spot of Qiao Sang's shadow.

The intense pain made Qiao Sang's vision blur for a moment, and her body struggled violently.

"Props are easy to control, but controlling a prop like Fire Coin that's currently attacking at high speed is definitely not an easy thing; the trajectory is easy to read—after all, it's a straight-line attack—but the vision and timing prediction are too difficult; one slip and you can't even link it up."

In the panoramic view, under the continuous blasts of ghostly green firelight, crimson flames suddenly ignited on Li Ai's body, and even its eyes seemed to be burning with fire!

A deafening explosion rang out; the violent shockwave, accompanied by high-temperature flames, ravaged the surroundings in layer upon layer.

Li Ai couldn't possibly be unable to move, right...

The attacks Qiao Sang had received earlier, as well as the damage she had inflicted on herself, were all on her head; since that was the case, she would aggravate the already injured parts!

Mo Hu had deliberately let itself be hit.

The commentator was stunned for a moment by the situation on the field.

Even though Qiao Sang had triggered Blaze, they had never expected Li Ai to not use a big move, but instead use a single Flame Charge to hit Ghost Ring King head-on.

Generally speaking, in pet beast battles, apart from their own beast master's commands, they counter based on the opponent's movements.

Qiao Sang immediately understood something, but she still chose to continue channeling energy.

The shadow connected to the Fire Coin instantly shot toward Qiao Sang's location.

"Bang bang bang!"

Qiao Sang let out an even more miserable shriek than before.

"You don't have to tell me—Ghost Ring King is really daring to try that. An attack at that speed, if it had been controlled, there'd be no time to dodge when the time came."

Blazing cold flames instantly gathered in its mouth.

It let out a forceful roar, and crimson flames burst out in all directions.

"Qiao Sang actually made the flames explode inside her own mouth!" the commentator passionately narrated the current situation. "But that also made her completely burn herself!"

Qiao Sang immediately forgot the pain, her expression blank as she looked behind her.

Audience members who hadn't yet figured out what was happening on the field all turned their eyes to the ground, to the shadow connecting Ghost Ring King and Qiao Sang.

An ultimate-level ghost fire… Li Ai Yong's heart sank, and he couldn't help feeling a hint of anxiety.

Cursed Body? Everyone was stunned for a moment at the words.

"Ghost Ring King actually used Dark Shadow Control to seize the incoming fire coin?!"

Little Mo Hu didn't have the strength to make a very loud sound to respond to her own beastmaster. She stared fixedly at her opponent without blinking, extended her left claw that had an arm guard on it upward, took off her own helmet, and tossed it to the side.

The audience erupted in an "Ooh—" at that move, many of them losing their composure.

"It's our turn now!"

That ghost fire's proficiency—hasn't it already reached ultimate mastery… Everyone came up with the same thought at once.

At that moment, Qiao Sang endured the intense pain and, with astonishing willpower, circulated her energy.

Qiao Sang's body was brimming with violent energy. After breaking free of the white shadow's restraint, she transformed into a streak of firelight and charged straight at Little Mo Hu.

"Bang bang bang!"

An opening! All of Qiao Sang's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and she instinctively shouted:

What a familiar move… In the audience, Liu Yao couldn't help but laugh.

Cursed Body—when attacked, there's a 30% chance of putting the opponent in a fixed state, and that 30% chance just appeared like that. That luck… Xun Xun took a deep breath, her gaze suddenly sharpening:

The burst of power in that instant actually left marks of loosening on the white shadow around Qiao Sang.

Although at this moment all Mo Hu could see was Ghost Ring King's back, from Qiao Sang's gradually drowsy expression, she immediately guessed that Ghost Ring King was casting Hypnosis.

"Ahhhhhhh! Up!"

"Aim for the head!"

"Explode!" Mo Hu gritted her teeth and said sharply.

"Explode!" Just as everyone was discussing, Mo Hu said loudly.

Hiss… The audience's chatter cut off abruptly, and they all showed "how tragic" expressions.

Two seconds later, what appeared to be a barrier shattered and vanished under the impact of the firelight.

Right now Ghost Ring King is about 1.7 meters above Qiao Sang. At that position, as long as Qiao Sang detonates the flames around her body, there's a chance to hit it!

At that moment, Little Li Ai—who had appeared above at some unknown time—raised her left claw, and a white shadow ball a full meter in diameter instantly condensed, slamming hard onto Qiao Sang's head!

For a star competitor like Abolon who receives so much attention, whose private life and training are constantly photographed by all sorts of people, this is really somewhat unbelievable…

Before it had even finished circulating energy to detonate the flames.

"Bang!"

So ruthless to herself… Li Ai's heart chilled.

Little Mo Hu's ears perked up, and her short toes twitched backward.

Ghost Ring King can teleport. She had thought that even if Qiao Sang triggered Blaze, it would take a whole series of fierce attacks to hit Ghost Ring King—she hadn't expected it to land so quickly!

"Control!"

"Qiao Mo!"

"Blaze! It's Blaze! I almost forgot Qiao Sang still has the Blaze ability!"

"Qiao Mo!!!"

But just now Qiao Sang hadn't even made the fire coin explode—she had merely roared like that first.

The shockwave carried the flames as it spread, and Qiao Sang, caught in the shockwave, let out a miserable shriek.

"Treasure hunt…"

As the thought flashed through her mind, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of Qiao Mo Hu bending down to pick something up.

Seeing that Ghost Ring King had already fully stood up, Mo Hu's expression changed slightly and she shouted once more: "Up!"

Firelight immediately exploded around its body without cease!

Little Mo Hu braced herself against the ground and struggled to stand up.

It seems Ghost Ring King's condition is still far from what it was at the start!

It hit! Li Ai Yong's face flushed with excitement.

The pain in its mouth would persist for quite a long time. If Little Mo Hu cast Hypnosis again, Qiao Sang would only need to bite her tongue, or even just move her tongue slightly, and the pain in her mouth would likely make her lose focus again.

The firelight hit dead-on, and Little Li Ai was sent flying backward. Just as she was about to reach the edge of the field, she extended her uninjured left claw and dug it deep into the ground, gouging out a long claw mark, before barely stopping!

The commentator took a deep breath and shouted in a voice full of passion:

A brand-new white shadow swiftly bound Qiao Sang tightly.

The whole arena erupted in discussion.

"So Dark Shadow Control can actually be used like that!"

"Treasure hunt…"

Once the firelight and shockwave had completely dissipated, Qiao Sang was seen with her eyes closed, collapsed on the ground.

On the field.

Especially Mo Hu's fans, each and every one of them showed anxious expressions, shouting for Qiao Mo Hu to get up quickly.

Nicely done! Xun Xun's eyes lit up as she seized the moment and issued the command:

"Seal!"

Then a solid white light suddenly condensed in its head and shot straight toward Qiao Sang like a streak of white light!

The commentator immediately thought of something and looked at the ground.

Competing against a fragile Ghost-type pet beast, I suspect Qiao Sang will be the one to fall forward!

But within the next two seconds, everyone was amazed to discover that all the flames seemed to form a red rectangular prism! As if blocked by something, when the flames touched a certain spot, ripples spread out in the air in rapid circles, and they did not explode outward!

My first reaction was that Ghost Ring King used telekinesis to control the fire coin, but at this moment Ghost Ring King's eyes had not turned blue.

It was betting on its Cursed Body and Curse traits…

Li Ai's head suffered two heavy blows in a row, and its reaction ability was far worse than before.

Even if Ghost Ring King was hit earlier, that was because the combined attack of Flame Step and Flame Detonation covered the entire field, which is completely different from being attacked now.

Little Mo Hu is currently in an injured state, so the control power of Dark Shadow Control is probably not as strong as usual.

"Qiao Sang seems unable to move! In this situation, could it be that Ghost Ring King has Cursed Body?"

Little Mo Hu… looked at Little Mo Hu lying on the ground, whose armor had purple light flickering on it, and slowly exhaled, her expression complicated.

The fire coin was instantly engulfed by flames, turning into a streak of fire that charged straight forward.

It had actually sent the fire coin to Qiao Sang's position before Qiao Sang detonated the fire coin.

As her beast master's words fell, Little Mo Hu cried out once.

Qiao Sang met a pair of purple eyes.

Ghost Ring King bringing defensive equipment onto the field was something I didn't expect; otherwise this match might have already ended.

"Treasure Hunt!"

Getting serious now…

Really is…

Although through the mouth, the limb skills cannot be used, but Flame Detonation can!

Looking at the fierce fire on Qiao Sang, the audience immediately burst into cheers.

It wants to go up too!

Ghost-green flames exploded continuously, rolling fire swept through, almost swallowing Qiao Sang's head along with her screams.

"Mo Hu?"

Qiao Sang's gaze turned sharp, and she directly raised her hand and flung it.

At the same time, the fire coin went "bang" and suddenly exploded.

Only to see that at the connected shadow, another slender shadow had branched off at some unknown time, connecting with the fire coin's shadow!

"Head-on Attack!"

The white shadow on the ground instantly drilled out, then rapidly expanded, madly and deliberately wrapping toward the position where Qiao Sang was.

Soon, his eyes lit up, and he called out with a slightly excited tone:

Mo Hu Mo looked at Qiao Sang's appearance and her heart suddenly clenched, abruptly realizing something was wrong.

"Mo Hu!"

"Li Ai!"

The whole audience erupted.

"Oh! Ghost Ring King used Dark Shadow Control to pry open Qiao Sang's eyelids! What is it trying to do?" The commentator's voice rang out at just the right moment.

Watching others trigger Fierce Fire versus watching Tooth Treasure trigger Fierce Fire — the feeling is really one in the depths and one in the heights…

"Ghost Ring King used Dark Shadow Control to control Li Ai's attack! What speed and reaction ability!"

"Three-Dimensional!"

"Li Ai…"

"Go!" Mo Hu Mo said in a low voice.

In an instant, about a hundred ghost fires, glowing ghost-green and exuding an eerie aura, appeared out of thin air around Li Ai and converged toward its head!

"Qiao Sang stayed in place, not taking the opportunity to continue attacking! Even under her beast master's command, she seems to have no intention of attacking!" The commentator, relying on her professional ability, immediately noticed the problem:

And Little Mo Hu, in that two-second gap, teleported to a hundred meters up in the air.

"Me too! Now that I think about it, although Qiao Sang has had fewer battles in the past year or two, almost every time she appears she can secure victory!"

In an instant, the white shadows binding her body were blasted apart!

Two of the white shadows went upward and suddenly pried open Qiao Sang's eyelids.

Little Mo Hu heard the result, and unlike usual, did not wave to the audience. Instead, it turned to look at its beast master, grinned, then closed its eyes and fell from the high sky.

But it couldn't move at all!

Just when the fire coin was only two meters away from Little Mo Hu, it suddenly stopped in midair!

Mo Hu Mo's pupils contracted sharply.

"You've watched too few matches. Ghost-type pet beasts using Dark Shadow Control to control opponents' props does happen in matches, but it's still quite rare to see Ghost Ring King directly control a prop that's actively attacking like this. At least in this level of competition, this is the first time I've seen it."

One must know that through this period of matches, Ghost Ring King's speed, reaction ability, and unpredictable movements are evident to all.

With this ultimate-level ghost fire aimed at the head, Qiao Sang will definitely be injured on top of injury.

"Explosion Awakening!"

Almost the second after Li Ai Yong gave the command, Xun Xun shouted loudly:
