Chapter 980: Counter-Cloning Feifei
Then she remembered the flirtatious glance the Aobao Sparrow King threw at Gangbao, and thought to herself that it was early in the morning and it looked to be in a good mood; it seemed it hadn't stayed up late last night.
Qiao Sang thought as she got up, holding Like Ya Bao and heading to the backstage.
She was in the third group, and if the first two matches weren't too intense, it should be her turn in the morning.
Backstage.
Qiao Sang scanned roughly and found that Qi Fuqing was not there.
She found a seat and prepared to introduce the opponent's pets to Like Ya Bao and the others.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang took it out and saw it was a message from Rong Yuhua:
【I have information on Qi Fuqing here, do you want it?】
This guy has booked all the training grounds, yet he still pretends to be so friendly... Qiao Sang complained internally and sent a message back:
【Is it free?】
Teacher Teacher Mi Jiala's purpose in letting her participate in this competition was only for training, and unlike when she participated in the National Campus Beast Taming League, there was no teacher specifically searching for, analyzing, and explaining information about each contestant.
Currently, her information sources were all from the internet, and she couldn't rule out another situation like Chen Tianqin's.
If the other party was giving it away for free, then she might as well take it.
Rong Yuhua replied in seconds:
【Of course!】
It's no exaggeration to say that Qiao Sang is currently his only connection in the National Beast Taming Bureau.
Although his family is wealthy and has a background, to those monsters in the National Beast Taming Bureau, these things wouldn't make them look at him any more.
If he could get on good terms with Qiao Sang, then when she was training at the National Beast Taming Bureau, he could go visit, and once those coaches became familiar with him, he would reveal his strength, and maybe some coach would discover his outstanding talent, and then he could get into the National Beast Taming Bureau.
Even if this chance was only one percent, he wouldn't want to give it up.
The more Rong Yuhua thought about it, the more he felt this was his closest chance to the National Beast Taming Bureau, and he wished he could advance his friendship with Qiao Sang to a sworn brotherhood.
【Then tell me.】 Qiao Sang replied.
Rong Yuhua quickly sent the prepared document.
Qiao Sang clicked to receive it.
Just as she was about to open it, Rong Yuhua sent another message:
【When are you officially going to the National Beast Taming Bureau for training? Is it after the competition ends?】
Since the other party had just given her information for free, Qiao Sang was a bit more patient with him and typed a reply:
【Maybe in twenty years.】
Rong Yuhua: 【???】
Qiao Sang didn't bother with him anymore and clicked on the document.
A rough scan showed that it contained Qi Fuqing's battle records in various competitions, as well as the skills and proficiency of the pets she had contracted, and the weaknesses of each pet.
It's actually this detailed, even the proficiency of each move has been found, and even the weaknesses... Qiao Sang straightened her expression slightly, having to re-examine this information.
It's no wonder that professional Beast Tamers participating in those large-scale competitions have a team behind them specifically responsible for collecting information and confusing information. With this level of information, if the strength is equal, the winning percentage might be directly increased by about 10%.
Of course, the premise is that the other party doesn't have your information.
Qiao Sang turned off her phone and continued introducing the opponent's pets to Like Ya Bao and the others.
Time passed.
The first two groups of matches ended in 2:3 and 3:1 situations after fierce duels. Since the latter group was faster, the time wasn't too delayed.
Soon, the pitted field sank, and a brand-new field was replaced.
The competition reached the third group.
"The following contestants all have super high popularity!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan introduced: "One is Qi Fuqing, who has participated in Regional Tournaments in multiple regions and achieved good results, and was just selected as one of the 'Top Ten Most Charming Beast Tamers of the Year in the Zhongkong Region' this year!"
Tang Xueran cooperated:
"The other is the youngest and most talented Beast Tamer in the world. I don't even want to add 'one of' at the end; I think there is no 'one of'. Although this is her first time participating in the Regional Tournament, it doesn't affect her being the strongest dark horse in this Regional Tournament. She has broken through all the way, and was even selected into the National Beast Taming Bureau two days ago. She is contestant Qiao Sang!"
"Let us welcome them to the field with the warmest applause!"
The whole venue erupted in deafening cheers, as if to resound through the clouds.
Regional Tournaments are held every year, but there are really too few people selected into the National Beast Taming Bureau.
In recent years, only one Chen Tianqin was rumored to have entered the National Beast Taming Bureau.
The time it was rumored back then wasn't during the Regional Tournament, and it was ultimately just a rumor, never officially confirmed by the National Beast Taming Bureau.
Qiao Sang is different. Coach Tao Yunkai publicly stated that Qiao Sang had officially joined the National Beast Taming Bureau, which is no different from an official confirmation.
They witnessed a contestant enter the National Beast Taming Bureau with their own eyes.
This was Qiao Sang's first appearance after being confirmed to have entered the National Beast Taming Bureau. For a time, almost the entire venue was cheering for her, actually suppressing Qi Fuqing, who had just been named one of the top ten most charming Beast Tamers of the year.
Amidst the cheers, two Flying-type pets rose from the ground.
Qi Fuqing waved to the audience with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the sound of the entire venue cheering for her opponent.
Qiao Sang was stunned when she heard the cheers for herself all around.
Honestly, from the Regional Tournament until now, today was the day her cheers were the loudest.
Even in the match where she sent out Qingbao, after winning the match, everyone was so excited, but they were basically calling for the Qingyin Fairy. Today, they were all calling her own name.
She couldn't help but be deeply infected by the atmosphere and waved to the audience.
The cheers in the audience instantly increased by another level.
The "10" light and shadow appeared in the center of the venue.
Everyone fell silent tacitly.
The light and shadow changed constantly with the mechanical sound:
"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1."
Qiao Sang and Qi Fuqing formed seals with their hands simultaneously.
Two dazzling red star arrays lit up on the field.
Soon, two pets with huge differences in body size appeared in the star arrays.
At the same time, the temperature on the field dropped sharply, and large flakes of snow drifted downwards.
Counter-Cloning Feifei, Psychic-type King-rank pet, doesn't like to initiate attacks, is very good at enduring, and likes to endure attacks before counterattacking. The skills with the highest proficiency are Counter and Mirror Coat, which can return double the damage to the opponent. The ability is Telepathy, which can read the opponent's attacks in advance and dodge. The weakness is the tail. When the tail is attacked, it will become unable to endure and will try every means to actively launch an attack... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, about two meters tall, with a mostly creamy body, two black eyes, a short black jagged tail, and lips so red they looked like they were wearing red lipstick, and information related to it flashed through her mind.
Then, she thought of one of the items in the information Rong Yuhua gave:
Counter-Cloning Feifei's weakness is no longer a weakness. Qi Fuqing has trained it to the point where it can endure even if its tail is attacked. If it is attacked on the tail and shows anger, launching an attack like crazy, then it is pretending, so be careful.
As thoughts flickered, the Counter-Cloning Feifei in the distance had already clasped its hands together.
Instantly, a pale blue light appeared around its body.
Soon, the pale blue light flickered once and disappeared.
Snowflakes fell on the Counter-Cloning Feifei, leaving no trace.
Safeguard, Normal-type high-tier skill. The pet that casts this skill is protected by a magical power for a certain period of time, so it will not fall into an abnormal state... Using this move right from the start, it seems it has studied her previous match... Qiao Sang saw the scene before her and couldn't help but sigh internally that none of the opponents who made it to the top 16 were simple.
Lubao would bring snow when it appeared, so it was most appropriate to quietly take the opportunity to cast Ice Flower Seal. Lubao used to need to raise its head and call out to cast Ice Flower Seal, but now it has practiced a different way of casting, only needing to emit cold air from its body.
This cold air wasn't obvious under the heavy snow, and it was the same when dealing with the Sweet Poison King last time.
If it were some pets without any defensive ability or whose energy and strength were lower than Lubao's, and who had no preparation at all, they would be defeated directly under this move.
The opponent obviously guessed that Lubao would cast Ice Flower Seal at the beginning.
Qiao Sang stared at the Counter-Cloning Feifei and didn't issue an order for a while.
The Counter-Cloning Feifei stared at Lubao, without any movement, just waiting for it to attack first.
Lubao, however, didn't attack immediately like in previous matches.
The scene reached a stalemate for a moment.
The audience couldn't help but discuss:
"What's going on? Why haven't they started fighting yet?"
"Qi Fuqing's Counter-Cloning Feifei's battle style is like this, basically just waiting for the opponent to attack and then returning the attack double."
"If the Ice Emperor Ram doesn't attack, does that mean they won't fight?"
"Did you forget the competition rules? Both sides cannot stay in place without any movement for 30 seconds, otherwise they will be warned. One of them will definitely strike first."
"I think the Ice Emperor Ram just needs to use the move it used against the Sweet Poison King. First, a Hail Domain, then a super-sized Giant Ice Cone. I don't believe that mountain-like Giant Ice Cone is something the Counter-Cloning Feifei can endure."
"Qiao Sang is probably waiting for an opportunity. That combination move of the Ice Emperor Ram should be quite energy-consuming."
Ever since Qiao Sang won against Chen Tianqin in the previous round and was announced to have officially joined the National Beast Taming Bureau, everyone's confidence in her has risen linearly.
On the field.
Why hasn't the Ice Emperor Ram made a move... Qi Fuqing pondered slightly and immediately prepared to change a battle style, saying:
"Attack."
The Counter-Cloning Feifei's eyes flashed with blue light.
Immediately, two silver rays of light shot from its eyes, blasting towards the position where Lubao was.
The Counter-Cloning Feifei has super strong endurance and is uniquely gifted in casting defensive and rebounding skills, but its attack skills are not talented. Even if it learns them, it's hard to improve proficiency... Qiao Sang's expression was calm.
Lubao stood motionless, and a layer of heavy ice armor instantly condensed on its body.
"Bang!"
The silver rays of light blasted onto Lubao's body.
Some ice shards fell, but the ice armor didn't crack, and Lubao was completely unharmed.
The Counter-Cloning Feifei didn't attack again.
Lubao also didn't move.
It actually didn't counterattack... Qi Fuqing frowned slightly.
The Ice Emperor Ram has Healing Light, ice armor, ice cones for protection, and Aurora Veil. Whether it's close combat or long-range attacks, it has defensive means.
With the Counter-Cloning Feifei's attack power, it's impossible to break the Ice Emperor Ram's defense. Even if it uses its strongest attack to successfully break the defense, the other party has Healing Light and can quickly heal.
The best method is still to wait for the Ice Emperor Ram to unleash a powerful attack, then endure it, and rebound the damage twofold in one go; only then is it possible to take down the Ice Emperor Ram in seconds.
The other party seems to be aware of this, and actually didn't cast the Hail Domain plus powerful attack ultimate move like before...
At the same time.
Perfect-level Safeguard, duration 30 seconds, it's already been 29 seconds... Qiao Sang said:
"Domain."
She was confident that Safeguard couldn't resist under the Hail Domain, but the opponent could still perform other rebounding skills while Safeguard was active. To be cautious, it was better to wait for the Safeguard effect to pass before attacking.
"Ice Emperor."
Lubao had long been prepared for this moment. It stepped down with its left front paw, and its whole body emitted visible cold air.
"Protect!" Qi Fuqing shouted when she saw this.
In fact, there was no need for its own Beast Tamer to issue an order at all. The Counter-Cloning Feifei had already predicted the opponent's move through telepathy.
It clasped its hands together 0.1 seconds before its own Beast Tamer issued the order.
However, the cold air covered it almost instantly.
Just as the blue light on the Counter-Cloning Feifei began to flicker, it remained frozen in place, maintaining that posture.
The field instantly became a world of ice.
The audience erupted in noise.
"The Ice Emperor Ram finally cast the Hail Domain. I've been waiting for this move for a long time!"
"In the frozen state, the Counter-Cloning Feifei shouldn't be able to endure and rebound easily."
"That's hard to say. The Counter-Cloning Feifei's rebounding skills are released by absorbing energy in its body and releasing it outwards. It doesn't need to open its mouth or stomp its feet like other pets to cast skills. The Hail Domain should only freeze its body, not the energy in its body."
Amidst the discussions, biting cold winds whistled, and white ice and snow suddenly rolled up, galloping across the field like a disaster, as if to swallow the entire field in endless whiteness.
Hail... Qi Fuqing couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even though she was confident in the Counter-Cloning Feifei's endurance, this was indeed the first time she had encountered the Hail Domain. She didn't know if the Counter-Cloning Feifei could still successfully rebound under the Hail Domain.
Endless white snow instantly swallowed the Counter-Cloning Feifei.
The hail impacted the ice shell, shattering it.
The Counter-Cloning Feifei disappeared into the whiteness.
Suddenly, a blue light shone brightly amidst the snow-white.
The hail stagnated, as if blocked by some invisible force.
On the ground, the Counter-Cloning Feifei emitted blue light all over, with a translucent mirror condensed in front of it, struggling to stand up from the snow.
Qi Fuqing's face showed joy when she saw this.
Sure enough, skills released outwards through the energy in the body can be successfully cast even if no part of the body can move... And looking at it, the previous Safeguard was also successfully cast. It's impossible to cast it at the speed Qi Fuqing issued the order. It seems the Counter-Cloning Feifei used telepathy... Qiao Sang analyzed.
Just as she was thinking, the endless hail suddenly turned direction and swallowed towards Lubao's position with an even more unstoppable posture than before.
Lubao stood proudly motionless.
The hail swallowed it instantly.
"The Counter-Cloning Feifei successfully performed Mirror Coat, rebounding the attack!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said excitedly: "The hail rebounded and swallowed the Ice Emperor Ram!"
As soon as the words fell, under the hail, Lubao appeared before everyone, completely unharmed.
The whole venue was in an uproar.
How could this be? This is a doubled-attack hail... Qi Fuqing was full of confusion internally.
Ice Body, in snowy weather, will slowly recover its state. B-rank Ice Body is the same in hail... Otherwise, why did you think I didn't cast the Giant Ice Cone like before, but cast Hail? It was to test whether the Counter-Cloning Feifei could successfully cast rebounding skills in a frozen state... Qiao Sang understood the astonishment and confusion in the opponent's eyes, her expression calm. ===== CHAPTER 981 =====
