Chapter 975

"Yan Yan Jia Ou has triggered Blaze! It's back on its feet!" Tian Yiwan said excitedly from the commentary booth.

"It seems this match is a victory for contestant Qiao Sang," Tang Xueran said with a smile.

As she finished speaking, the Mechanical-type pet beast referee reappeared on the field.

Only this time, it appeared beside the Phantom-Hating Fox.

After observing for a few seconds, the Mechanical-type pet beast referee waved a green flag toward the location of Like Ya Bao and Qiao Sang.

A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air.

The photo of the Phantom-Hating Fox under Chen Tianqin's name turned from color to black and white.

"Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang on winning the first match!" Tian Yiwan announced the result.

A wave of commotion erupted in the audience, with discussions breaking out everywhere:

"Hilarious, Chen Tianqin intended to use the Phantom-Hating Fox to trade for Qiao Sang's Yan Yan Jia Ou, but he didn't expect the opponent to have the Blaze ability, essentially giving away a round."

"Anyone with a shred of common sense wouldn't say that. Chen Tianqin clearly didn't lose out; Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze has already been triggered, which means it can't last much longer. Don't forget, Chen Tianqin still has two King-tier pet beasts in peak condition."

"Can this match be considered a contest of abilities?"

"Definitely, though I only learned about the 'Mutual Destruction' ability after watching this match."

"I wonder how long Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze can hold out..."

"If I were Qiao Sang, I'd definitely recall Yan Yan Jia Ou to the Beast Taming Tome and let it recover properly first."

"Once the Blaze ability fades, the pet beast will fall into a state of extreme weakness. It's basically impossible to trigger this ability twice in a row. How much time is there in a single match? Recovery in the Beast Taming Tome is slow, so rather than recovering that little bit of condition, it's better to fight hard while Blaze is still active. Who knows, it might even cause serious injury to Chen Tianqin's King-tier pet beast before Blaze disappears."

Meanwhile.

The official livestream channel.

The screen was filled with comments.

【The Mutual Destruction ability is insane, to think it could cross a tier and force Yan Yan Jia Ou to trigger Blaze.】

【What's even scarier is that if Yan Yan Jia Ou didn't have the Blaze ability, it would have lost. A General-tier pet beast taking down a King-tier pet beast—I don't even dare to imagine it.】

【It's different once Chen Tianqin goes to train at the National Beast Taming Bureau; his tactics have improved so much, using his weakest pet beast to trade for the opponent's trump card.】

【Chen Tianqin hides his cards well; I've never seen him use such an insane ability in previous matches.】

【The Phantom-Hating Fox was the fourth pet beast he contracted; it was rarely summoned for matches before, so it was kept very hidden. Or perhaps it's an ability awakened after evolution, otherwise, how could the media have never reported it?】

【Qiao Sang made a mistake! She should have sent out the Ice Emperor Ram in the first match! If the Ice Emperor Ram had appeared, a single Healing Light would have restored its condition to its peak.】

【Please, this is the Mutual Destruction ability. Yan Yan Jia Ou being able to stand up again is because it triggered an ability as well. If it were a skill, unless the Phantom-Hating Fox still had the strength to use it, it definitely wouldn't be able to. The Ice Emperor Ram's Healing Light is a skill, so it definitely couldn't be used; it would end up just like the Phantom-Hating Fox.】

【Don't you dare question the Ice Emperor Ram! Does your pet beast know Healing Light? Do you know anyone whose pet beast knows this move? If you don't know the power of Healing Light, don't act like a know-it-all.】

【The power doesn't matter; the point is that it can't be used.】

【You've never had an Ice Emperor Ram fight against a pet beast with the Mutual Destruction ability, so how do you know the Ice Emperor Ram couldn't use it?】

【...】

The match venue.

To think it actually triggered Blaze... Chen Tianqin's expression darkened.

When he confirmed that Qiao Sang was highly valued and would be selected for the National Beast Taming Battle Team, he had specifically searched for and watched her previous matches, so naturally, he knew Yan Yan Jia Ou had the Blaze ability.

But unless this ability reaches S-tier, it's basically impossible to trigger it 100% of the time. The Phantom-Hating Fox suffering a direct attack from Yan Yan Jia Ou would be knocked unconscious instantly, and Yan Yan Jia Ou, affected by the Mutual Destruction ability, should have been the same.

He didn't expect Yan Yan Jia Ou to trigger Blaze while it should have been unconscious... Chen Tianqin looked at the fierce pet beast burning with flames in the distance and took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Looking at the bright side, at least he had forced out Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze ability. The Blaze ability doesn't last long, so even if Yan Yan Jia Ou can persist for a second match, it won't matter much.

Chen Tianqin gazed at the young girl in the distance.

They say luck is part of strength, and Qiao Sang's luck is truly quite good.

"Yaya..."

The temperature of the flames rising on Like Ya Bao's body was so high that it seemed to distort the surrounding air.

Qiao Sang glanced at Like Ya Bao's condition and made no move.

Rather than letting Like Ya Bao return to the Beast Taming Tome, having Blaze disappear, and recovering a bit of condition, it was better to take advantage of the fact that Like Ya Bao still had Blaze and was in an exceptionally angry mood to let it vent properly. The combat power in its current state was definitely stronger than if it stayed in the Beast Taming Tome for a while and then came back out.

"Contestant Qiao Sang did not recall Yan Yan Jia Ou to the Beast Taming Tome!" Tian Yiwan said, looking at the scene on the field: "It seems she intends to let Yan Yan Jia Ou continue to the second match."

Tang Xueran added:

"I wonder how long Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze can be maintained."

As the two spoke, a "10" light projection appeared on the field.

A mechanical voice followed:

"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1."

Chen Tianqin formed seals with both hands.

A massive red star array lit up.

Soon, a humanoid pet beast about two meters tall, bipedal, with a body changing from red to cyan and holding silver-white sharp blades in its arms, appeared within the star array.

Saijianba, a Psychic-type King-tier pet beast. The blades on its arms are condensed from willpower. After the battle begins, the blades on its arms can turn into greatswords according to its will. It is one of the few Psychic-type pet beasts that likes close combat... Qiao Sang looked at the pet beast in the distance, and the relevant information surfaced in her mind.

Meanwhile, just as Saijianba appeared, Like Ya Bao transformed into a dazzling streak of fire and suddenly charged straight out.

Saijianba reacted quickly, disappearing from its original spot and appearing in the high sky a hundred meters away.

However, the second after it appeared in the high sky, Like Ya Bao appeared behind it, opened its mouth, and fierce flames instantly condensed into a giant Yan Yan Jia Ou head, mimicking its movements and biting downward.

Regarding Yan Yan Jia Ou's habit of using Fire Fang from behind, Chen Tianqin had already witnessed it several times at Qiao Sang's match venues and in the data he had searched. He spoke without the slightest hesitation: "Rear Cut."

Saijianba's body turned, and the blade on its arm suddenly expanded several times, slashing fiercely toward the flaming Yan Yan Jia Ou head biting down from above.

The Yan Yan Jia Ou head formed by flames was split in two and dissipated directly.

"Saijian."

Saijianba maintained its downward slashing posture and looked forward.

It saw Like Ya Bao biting onto the sharp blade with its flaming teeth.

It glanced at Saijianba, and then with a "Crack!", the silver-white sharp blade shattered upon impact.

Saijianba's expression remained unchanged, and it disappeared by teleporting.

When it reappeared, white light shimmered on its arm.

The blade connected below quickly re-condensed, completely undamaged.

Actually, there's no need to clash head-on with Yan Yan Jia Ou; just dragging it out until the Blaze state disappears, and it will naturally lose... Chen Tianqin recalled the brief clash just now and subconsciously analyzed it.

As thoughts flashed, countless Yan Yan Jia Ou suddenly appeared on the field!

High sky, mid-air, ground.

They covered almost every corner of the field!

Chen Tianqin's pupils shrank.

Holy crap... The people in the audience were equally shocked by the sudden scene.

Shadow Clone isn't a particularly powerful skill, but with so many mighty and magnificent Yan Yan Jia Ou suddenly appearing all over the field, even though they knew it was the Shadow Clone skill, they still felt a strong visual impact.

Like Ya Bao's Blaze effect won't last long; it must be a quick battle... Qiao Sang said:

"Press."

All the Yan Yan Jia Ou immediately lunged at Saijianba all at once.

"Saijian."

Saijianba turned its wrist, the blade suddenly grew larger and swung continuously.

Blade light danced.

All the Yan Yan Jia Ou approaching it couldn't withstand the sweep of the blade light and turned into illusions in an instant.

I remember Qiao Sang had a match where she let the Yan Yan Jia Ou, which hadn't evolved yet, use Shadow Clone to obstruct the opponent, and then the main body used Fire Meteor Shower. Could it be that she's going to use this tactic in this match too... Chen Tianqin thought while scanning quickly, trying to find the main body.

If Yan Yan Jia Ou really wants to use this tactic, with Saijianba's defensive barrier, it should be able to block it.

Once this move passes, Yan Yan Jia Ou's Blaze should also disappear...

While pondering, he saw a Yan Yan Jia Ou raising its head and looking at the high sky.

The sunlight suddenly became a bit more blinding.

Sunny Day, this is preparing to increase the power of Fire-type skills before releasing Fire Meteor Shower... Chen Tianqin, relying on his rich battle experience, immediately thought of this.

An Ultimate-level Fire Meteor Shower with the support of Sunny Day and Blaze, Saijianba's defensive barrier might not be able to hold... No, as expected, I can't let Yan Yan Jia Ou release Fire Meteor Shower smoothly... Chen Tianqin thought of this and immediately made a decision:

"Lengthen, attack the main body."

The blade Saijianba was swinging shimmered with white light and suddenly lengthened to about twenty meters.

The twenty-meter-long blade light flashed chaotically.

All the Yan Yan Jia Ou surrounding it collapsed and disappeared instantly.

Only a dozen or so remained on the entire field.

An invisible force spread from within Saijianba's body, instantly filling the entire field.

When the invisible force passed a certain point, Saijianba raised its head.

"Saijian."

Found it.

Saijianba's gaze fell on Like Ya Bao, who was raising its head. It opened its mouth, silver-white light shimmered deep in its throat, and it sprayed toward the direction where Like Ya Bao was located.

The silver-white light was like a light cannon fired diagonally upward, streaking toward the upper sky in a terrifying manner.

All the Yan Yan Jia Ou in its path turned into nothingness.

Meanwhile, a golden flame suddenly rose on Like Ya Bao's body.

Its wings spread open abruptly.

The golden flame instantly completely replaced the red of Blaze.

Like Ya Bao flapped its wings hard and transformed into a golden light, ascending straight into the higher sky.

The speed of the silver-white light beam was terrifyingly fast, erupting to a position of about a hundred meters in just one second.

However, the speed of the golden light Like Ya Bao had transformed into was even better.

The silver-white light chased from behind, always one step slower than it.

This isn't Fire Meteor Shower... Chen Tianqin saw that golden light in the high sky and immediately thought of something. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"Stop it!"

Saijianba disappeared by teleporting and appeared in the direction above the golden light.

It swung both arms downward simultaneously.

Two silver-white light blades about twenty meters long appeared in front of the blades, crossed, and slashed downward, attacking Like Ya Bao.

"Instant!" Qiao Sang said.

Almost at the same time she spoke.

The golden light in the high sky disappeared out of thin air, teleporting from below the two crossed light blades to above them!

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The silver-white light beam collided with the two crossed light blades, setting off violent air waves that raged in all directions.

Meanwhile.

The golden light slammed fiercely into Saijianba's body!

"Saijian!"

Saijianba let out a scream.

The golden light didn't stop there.

It shot straight to the highest point.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed to reach the same height as the sun.

Everyone looked up following its trajectory, feeling it was so dazzling that it was somewhat blinding; compared to the afternoon sun, it was more like the midday sun.

What, what skill is this? Most people didn't understand, only feeling that it seemed very awesome.

Some of the more knowledgeable audience members had already widened their eyes, holding their breath, waiting for the next moment.

Damn! It really is Solar Impact! Chen Tianqin couldn't help but curse in his heart and shouted:

"Move!"

Saijianba was pinned down and couldn't teleport away.

The blinding "sun" fell vertically from the high sky at an extremely terrifying speed.

Intense pain and a sense of weightlessness spread throughout Saijianba's entire body.

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking loud noise, the "sun" smashed into the ground.

The massive and terrifying power affected the entire field, and the ground was shattered into powder.

With the "sun" as the center, the field suddenly caved downward.

The range was so large that it seemed as if an abyssal giant pit had been hollowed out in the center of the field.

The entire arena was silent.

Everyone sat in the audience, clearly seeing a figure standing slowly in the giant pit, posing proudly, emitting an aura that seemed to be born with dominance.

And beside it, Saijianba was lying on its back with its eyes closed, already in a state of fainting.

Chen Tianqin's face turned pale.

After two seconds of brief silence, Tian Yiwan said with an excited expression:

"Yan Yan Jia Ou used Solar Impact! It successfully hit Saijianba!"

As he finished speaking, everyone finally reacted, talking loudly one by one, their expressions excited, immersed in the battle of violent aesthetics.

"Solar Impact? What skill is this? It's too damn cool!"

"You don't even know this! A Fire-type Super-tier skill! An incredibly awesome skill!"

"Holy crap, Yan Yan Jia Ou can actually use Super-tier skills too?!"

"Even if I don't recognize this skill, I can tell it's a Super-tier skill!"

"Amazing, Qiao Sang's pet beast is truly amazing..."

"Saijianba won't be able to stand up anymore, right?"

Amidst the discussion, the Mechanical-type pet beast referee appeared beside Saijianba out of thin air.

After observing for two seconds, it waved a green flag toward the direction of Like Ya Bao and Qiao Sang.

A giant virtual screen appeared.

The photo of Saijianba under Chen Tianqin's name turned from color to black and white.

"Yaya..."

Like Ya Bao's expression relaxed, and its body swayed.

It looked like it was about to fall to the ground.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled it to the Beast Taming Tome.
