Chapter 983: Top Eight

~14 min read 2,759 words

"It's the Ghost Ring King!" Someone in the audience said pleasantly surprised.

In the last two matches, Qiao Sang sent out Yan Yan Jia Ou and the Ice Emperor Ram, but the Ghost Ring King's previous performance still left a deep impression on many people.

In the absence of the opponent's King-rank pets, compared to the scene of Yan Yan Jia Ou and the Ice Emperor Ram instantly defeating the opponent with one or two moves, they prefer to watch the Steel Sword Falcon or the Ghost Ring King have a back-and-forth battle with General-rank pets.

On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said:

"In the third match, contestant Qiao Sang sent out the Ghost Ring King, and contestant Qi Fuqing sent out the Ink Thorn Beast."

Tang Xueran continued:

"Will contestant Qiao Sang seize the match point, win the third match, and successfully enter the top eight, or will contestant Qi Fuqing win the match and pull back a point? Let us look at the field."

All cameras were aimed at the competition site.

"Xun xun!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost looked at its opponent, its eyes full of fighting spirit.

It listened to the cheers for itself around, and a reluctance flashed in its heart, but it still forcibly interrupted the cheers around, focused its attention on the opponent in the distance, remembered its own Beast Tamer's words, and disappeared in place invisibly.

Ink Thorn Beast, Water-type and Poison-type dual-attribute General-rank pet. When it sees someone it doesn't like, it habitually sprays ink to express dissatisfaction. In the water, it likes to create huge whirlpools to solve the target. The thorns on its body are highly poisonous. The ability is Poison Point, which will give the opponent who comes into contact with it a certain probability of becoming poisoned. It also has the Hydration ability. Where it is, the surrounding air will become humid, and no one can cast skills like Self-Destruct... Qiao Sang looked at the pet in the distance, about six meters tall, with a mostly cyan-black body, covered in sharp thorns, and a curled tail, and information related to it flashed through her mind.

I remember that when the Ink Thorn Beast reaches the Emperor rank, it will evolve into the Ink Crystal Dragon, transforming into a Dragon-type pet.

As thoughts flickered, the little treasure-hunting ghost had already teleported to the ground behind the Ink Thorn Beast.

It raised its claws, and the shadow under it extended forward rapidly.

Qi Fuqing had some understanding of the little treasure-hunting ghost's moves and responded quickly:

"Ground Ink!"

The Ink Thorn Beast didn't look back, just flicked its curled tail towards the ground.

With its tail as the center, a stream of pitch-black ink suddenly gushed out from the ground.

Immediately after, it expanded and spread rapidly like a flood, covering the position of tens of meters around the Ink Thorn Beast in just one second, completely covering its shadow.

"Xun xun!"

The ink was pitch-black and pungent. The little treasure-hunting ghost was startled, teleported to a position ten meters above, and flicked its short toes, turning the 2D mode Dark Control Shadow into 3D.

The black shadow rose from the ink, like black silk stained with ink, dripping with ink, and swept towards the Ink Thorn Beast crazily.

"Back Thorn!" Qi Fuqing shouted loudly.

The Ink Thorn Beast arched its back slightly, and hundreds of dense sharp thorns flashing with black light suddenly shot out from its back, shooting in all directions behind it.

The little treasure-hunting ghost had to teleport and disappear again, appearing in the high sky a hundred meters in front of the Ink Thorn Beast.

"Whether it's the 2D mode Dark Control Shadow or the 3D mode Dark Control Shadow, both have been resolved by the Ink Thorn Beast." On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said.

Tang Xueran cooperated: "That's right, the 2D mode Dark Control Shadow needs to find shadows. The Ink Thorn Beast spits ink around itself. If the 2D mode Dark Control Shadow can't find shadows, naturally it has no effect."

"And the 3D mode Dark Control Shadow, the Ghost Ring King has to dodge the poison thorn attack and teleport, so the 3D mode Dark Control Shadow will naturally disappear together."

Tian Yiwan sighed: "Qi Fuqing is worthy of being an experienced Beast Tamer, the responses are all very clever."

"Qiao Sang's matches basically keep the battle rhythm in her own hands." Tang Xueran said: "I don't know if Qi Fuqing can jump out of the opponent's rhythm in this match."

Between the commentary.

Qiao Sang issued an order: "Big!"

"Xun xun!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost heard its own Beast Tamer's order, its spirit lifted, and it clasped its claws upwards.

Instantly, a Ghost Ring King with a body size of thirty meters appeared on the field.

The giant Ghost Ring King looked down coldly, emotionless, with its Overlord's Aura fully open.

"Ink Thorn..."

The Ink Thorn Beast's calm expression turned to vigilance, and it even instinctively flashed some fear internally.

However, it still remembered that this was in the competition, and its eyes flashed with blue light.

Instantly, a pitch-black wave as high as thirty meters rose in the ink pool, surging towards the giant Ghost Ring King!

Surf, Water-type high-tier skill, cast in ink, making Surf stained with ink. If the little treasure-hunting ghost touches it, the invisibility will fail... Qiao Sang looked at the situation before her and said:

"Bind."

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost stretched out its short toes.

The giant Ghost Ring King stretched out its short toes synchronously.

The wide black shadow shot out from the toe tips instantly, sweeping towards the Ink Thorn Beast crazily.

The giant wave like a flood was unstoppable, swallowing the black shadow, and immediately after, it quickly swallowed the giant Ghost Ring King.

The giant Ghost Ring King dissipated under the strong impact.

However, Qi Fuqing's face changed slightly at this time.

I saw dozens of small black shadows bound onto the Ink Thorn Beast's body!

Qi Fuqing looked at the small figure in the high sky, astonishment flashing in her eyes.

She didn't expect that the Ghost Ring King's main body could actually be separated from the Dark Magic Shadow and cast Dark Control Shadow at the same time!

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost grinned when it saw that it finally bound the opponent.

"The Ink Thorn Beast's black wave defeated the Ghost Ring King's Dark Magic Shadow!" On the commentary stage, Tian Yiwan said excitedly: "But the Ghost Ring King's Dark Control Shadow also successfully bound the Ink Thorn Beast!"

Tang Xueran sighed: "I didn't expect that the Dark Control Shadow cast by the Dark Magic Shadow was just a smokescreen. The one that truly cast Dark Control Shadow to attack was the Ghost Ring King's main body."

Tian Yiwan said: "The Ghost Ring King's position is high enough, the black wave can't reach its position. It seems that contestant Qiao Sang had this plan from the beginning."

"The thirty-meter-plus Dark Magic Shadow is too eye-catching." Tang Xueran analyzed: "The Ghost Ring King's main body is too small, it's understandable that contestant Qi Fuqing didn't notice it for a while."

"I think contestant Qi Fuqing should not have expected that while the Ghost Ring King was controlling the Dark Magic Shadow to cast Dark Control Shadow, it also launched an attack itself." Tian Yiwan said his view:

"After all, in Qiao Sang's previous matches, the Ghost Ring King had never cast this means."

Tang Xueran nodded and said: "This kind of main body and the condensed magic shadow attacking at the same time, I have only seen it in another international competition."

Because the two commentators had seen it, and because the one casting this means was Qiao Sang, who couldn't be understood by common sense, they weren't particularly surprised and accepted it quickly.

The whole venue was in an uproar.

Compared to the commentators, the audience who didn't have much understanding of all competitions were relatively unable to accept it.

Everyone couldn't control their expressions, revealing obvious shock and astonishment.

The skill the Ghost Ring King just cast was simply more difficult than most combination moves.

You have to know, Dark Magic Shadow plus Dark Control Shadow is already a big combination move, but on this basis, the Ghost Ring King could actually launch another attack itself!

This, how on earth was this done?

Of course, the Dark Magic Shadow cannot launch an attack alone without control, but it can be done by the substitute that the little treasure-hunting ghost has practiced thousands of times stealing computer time... Qiao Sang saw the opponent's astonishment, her expression calm.

The little treasure-hunting ghost's substitute has reached the Mystery level after its own hard training without her having to supervise it specifically.

A Mystery-level substitute, except for the energy difference and being more fragile than the main body, can almost do the same things as the little treasure-hunting ghost.

This was also discovered when she found the little treasure-hunting ghost secretly playing on the computer while letting the substitute train a while ago.

Later, she tried it, letting the substitute train and the little treasure-hunting ghost play on the computer, and it really worked.

At the beginning of the competition, during the little treasure-hunting ghost's invisibility stage, it actually took the opportunity to cast an equally invisible substitute.

Others thought it was the little treasure-hunting ghost controlling the Dark Magic Shadow to cast Dark Control Shadow while also casting Dark Control Shadow itself.

Actually, it was not. The one controlling the Dark Magic Shadow, from beginning to end, was just the substitute that was invisible.

This distance, it should be possible... Qi Fuqing suppressed the astonishment in her heart, measured the distance between the Ghost Ring King and the Ink Thorn Beast, and shouted:

"Poison Thorn!"

"Mo Mo!"

The Ink Thorn Beast's body straightened forward, and hundreds of poison thorns flashing with black light poured out, shooting straight at the little treasure-hunting ghost!

"Xun xun!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost immediately moved to the side, dodging the dense poison thorns with its superb reaction ability and small body size.

Although it usually uses teleportation to dodge, it doesn't mean its own movement speed is not fast.

The little treasure-hunting ghost shuttled and moved rapidly.

There were several poison thorns that couldn't be dodged, so it flicked the darkness and blocked them.

The little treasure-hunting ghost maintained the 3D mode Dark Control Shadow, passed through the poison needles, and kept circling around the Ink Thorn Beast.

When moving to a position about thirty meters in front of the Ink Thorn Beast, the Ink Thorn Beast blew its mouth, and a fine, undetectable poison thorn instantly sprayed out, shooting straight at the little treasure-hunting ghost.

The speed was so fast that it reached a position about one centimeter away from the little treasure-hunting ghost in an instant.

Suddenly, the poison needle stopped.

The Ink Thorn Beast was stunned for a moment, and then, as if sensing something, it looked down.

I saw an identical opponent appearing below at some point.

The only difference was that its eyes were flashing with blue light.

Looking at the identical Ghost Ring King suddenly appearing on the field, the audience was silent for a moment, followed by noisy clamor:

"Holy crap? Why is there another Ghost Ring King?"

"Substitute? I remember Qiao Sang's Ghost Ring King seems to be able to use Substitute, and the proficiency is not low."

"The problem is when this substitute was cast! Looking at it using telekinesis to control the poison needle, it's clearly not just appearing!"

"No, both Ghost Ring Kings cast skills, how can you be sure that the one casting telekinesis is the substitute?"

On the field.

Substitute? Qi Fuqing was dumbfounded.

When on earth was this substitute cast?!

"Xun xun~"

The little treasure-hunting ghost grinned, bypassed the stopped poison needle, bent a spiritual arc, and continued to circle around the Ink Thorn Beast rapidly, entangling it.

Finally, it stopped at a position about twenty meters in front of the Ink Thorn Beast, not affected by the ink, pulled the black shadow, and pulled hard with the posture of a shoulder throw.

A pet of several tens of centimeters binding a pet of more than six meters and wanting to shoulder throw it, the scene on the field made the audience couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Fuqing's eyes lit up, and she shouted:

"Wave!"

The Ink Thorn Beast's eyes flashed with blue light.

But before its Surf could spray out, in front, while the little treasure-hunting ghost was pulling the black shadow with a shoulder throw posture, the black shadow part connected to the Ink Thorn Beast about twenty meters away suddenly appeared, maintaining the same shoulder throw posture as the little treasure-hunting ghost, pulling the black shadow, and pulling hard.

"Mo Mo!"

The Ink Thorn Beast instantly soared into the air, drew a delicate arc in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

Qi Fuqing was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and turned to look at the position of the other Ghost Ring King.

"Xun xun~"

The Ghost Ring King with clasped hands seemed to sense the gaze and grinned at her.

Qi Fuqing: "!!!"

The whole venue exclaimed.

The Ink Thorn Beast fell to the ground, the little treasure-hunting ghost turned its head, turned its short toes, and the black shadow spread crazily, quickly entangling its whole body like a cocoon.

Including the head.

Immediately after, the giant Ghost Ring King came to the front of the Ink Thorn Beast, its head condensed with thick white light, and it was about to hit the Ink Thorn Beast's head fiercely.

The head of a pet with a body size of about thirty meters was really terrifying, almost N times larger than the Ink Thorn Beast.

Qi Fuqing's pupils shrank slightly, and she shouted:

"Thorn!"

As soon as the words fell, countless thorn-like shapes protruded from below the black shadow entangling the Ink Thorn Beast, as if to drill out sharp thorns from within.

However, the black shadow was ultimately firm and didn't let the poison thorns break through in the first time.

"Bang!!!"

A loud noise, the giant Ghost Ring King's head flashing with thick white light hit the head position entangled by the Ink Thorn Beast fiercely.

After the collision, the countless sharp thorns protruding from below the black shadow disappeared instantly.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The giant Ghost Ring King's head condensed thick white light, hitting the Ink Thorn Beast's head position one after another.

The countless sharp thorns protruding from below the black shadow disappeared without a trace under the giant Ghost Ring King's collision.

Qi Fuqing finally changed an order: "Hyper Beam!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost heard the order and quickly cast the black shadow to entangle the Ink Thorn Beast's mouth position a few more times.

The powerful attack imagined didn't happen, and there was no movement under the black shadow.

"Xun xun..."

The little treasure-hunting ghost breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of something, and removed the black shadow.

"Mo mo..."

Under the black shadow, the Ink Thorn Beast closed its eyes, but then its facial expression struggled, as if it wanted to try hard to open them.

Just as the Ink Thorn Beast's eyelids were slightly lifted, Qiao Sang opened her mouth:

"Split!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost and the substitute raised their hands and dropped their knives at the same time, their claws condensed with thick white light, and they slashed fiercely towards the Ink Thorn Beast's head.

The Ink Thorn Beast finally stopped moving completely.

The little treasure-hunting ghost and the substitute wiped the sweat that didn't exist on their foreheads at the same time.

Then, the substitute grinned at the little treasure-hunting ghost and disappeared.

The Mechanical-type pet referee appeared beside the Ink Thorn Beast, observed it, and waved the green flag towards the position where the little treasure-hunting ghost and Qiao Sang were.

In the center of the venue, the giant virtual screen appeared, the photo related to Qi Fuqing disappeared, leaving only Qiao Sang's photo enlarged and coming to the middle.

Light and shadow fireworks bloomed in a small range above the photo.

Tian Yiwan's voice sounded on the field:

"Let us congratulate contestant Qiao Sang on winning this round of the match with a 3:0 record and successfully advancing to the top eight!" ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
