Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 387: Lightweight Shrinking Bracelet Unfortunately, it was already too late.

One advantage of the final day of the elimination round was that you could know in advance who your opponent would be.

For Wang Yixuan, Qiao Sang knew her all too well.

During the group stage, the two of them had lived together, even sometimes helping each other think about how to deal with the next day’s battle.

It wasn’t hard for Xiao Xunbao to control the Blazehound, but she knew that Xu Yixuan would definitely have the Blazehound wildly destroy the area around its shadow and around itself the moment Xiao Xunbao became invisible.

Though it would waste some energy, this could not only prevent Xiao Xunbao from getting close, but if the Blazehound accidentally hit Xiao Xunbao while it was invisibly approaching, that would be even better.

She didn’t think that Xiao Xunbao couldn’t get close enough to control the Blazehound.

It was just that, according to Xu Yixuan’s method, the match would be prolonged.

That’s why she came up with this move.

To teleport successfully, all that was needed was a momentary gap.

As long as they could make the Blazehound believe it had hit Xiao Xunbao, in the moment of relaxation, Xiao Xunbao could teleport beside the Blazehound’s shadow without any obstruction.

Qiao Sang’s gaze was fixed on the Blazehound’s shadow, where Xiao Xunbao was already standing beside it.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao raised its short toes, connecting its own shadow with that on the ground.

Seeing this, a loud cheer erupted from the audience.

"Beautifully done!"

"I knew it! How could they blatantly cheat behind the scenes!"

"Goodness, I almost really thought the Treasure-seeking Demon was doomed."

"666, no mercy when deceiving teammates!"

"This is a one-on-one battle, how could they be teammates? They are opponents!"

On the field.

Almost the moment Xiao Xunbao took control of the shadow, the Blazehound reacted, opening its mouth and spewing hot flames toward Xiao Xunbao’s location.

Xiao Xunbao’s mouth curled up slightly, a flick of its short toes, and the Blazehound uncontrollably flipped over, legs in the air.

The still-spewing flames also changed direction, smoothly shooting out in a semicircular arc.

No worry, now the Treasure-seeking Demon should start spinning; the training against dizziness with the Fire God had not been in vain... Xu Yixuan consoled herself when she saw this.

Wait... spinning?

Xu Yixuan suddenly thought of something, fiercely switching her gaze back and forth between the Blazehound and the Treasure-seeking Demon.

While Ding Yanjing’s Shadow Control Crow had no choice as it was mid-air, if the Blazehound was controlled to spin while spraying flames, the Treasure-seeking Demon would definitely withdraw its Shadow Control to avoid the flames.

After all, if the Treasure-seeking Demon wanted to maintain its two-dimensional Shadow Control, it couldn’t move.

Start spinning already, why isn’t it spinning! No, I’m getting a bit excited, that freak Qiao must be able to spot something is wrong from my expression... Xu Yixuan restrained the urge to let her lips curve upward, working hard to keep her expression flawless.

Xiao Xunbao’s short toes trembled slightly; just as it was about to make its opponent spin, it heard the voice of its own Beast Tamer:

"Hypnotism."

Xu Yixuan: "???"

"Xun~"

With a hook of Xiao Xunbao’s short toes, the Blazehound uncontrollably turned over, standing back up on the ground.

"Fire!"

The Blazehound, looking infuriated, opened its mouth ready to spew flames again.

But as it flipped over, leveling its gaze, it saw a pair of purple eyes.

"Fire..."

Listlessness washed over the Blazehound, and right after, it closed its eyes and fell asleep on the spot.

The Mechanical Beast drifted over from the side of the arena, looked at the Blazehound’s face, then used its paw to take the whistle hanging around its neck and blew into it forcefully.

"Qu!"

The main referee announced, "Victory for Qiao Sang of Shengshui Middle School!"

The audience seats were abuzz with chatter and discussions waxed and waned.

"Won? Just like that?"

"This is the final? It wasn’t satisfying at all, just a one-sided thrashing..."

"I checked the time; both matches together didn’t even last five minutes..."

"Something’s not right, is hypnotism so hard to break free from? How come Xu Yixuan’s two Pet Beasts were out of the game as soon as they fell for that trick?"

"Is it possible that this Treasure-seeking Demon’s hypnotism is highly proficient?"

"That’s the only possibility, but then again, how proficient does it have to be for the referee to immediately declare that the Luring Spirit and the Blazehound couldn’t continue in the competition?"

"I think it’s either Completion or Mystique. Through the days of the competition I’ve come to notice that none who got hit by this Treasure-seeking Demon’s hypnotism were able to wake up from the dream quickly."

"Completion... Mystique..."

...

The contestant area.

Because the award ceremony would commence in ten minutes, Qiao Sang, Xu Yixuan, and Wang Rui sat together.

After holding back for half the day, Xu Yixuan finally couldn’t help but ask, "Qiao Sang, usually your Treasure-seeking Demon gets control over others by making them spin, why didn’t it do that this time?"

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow and said, "Haven’t you been training your Blazehound’s anti-dizziness capabilities all this while?"

frёewebηovel.cѳm Xu Yixuan: "!!!"

Xu Yixuan was thunderstruck, completely dumbfounded.

Wang Rui glanced at her sympathetically from the side.

He figured out why Xu Yixuan had lost so miserably – practicing to defend against another’s technique only to let the opponent know about it, that was nothing but wasted effort...

Qiao Sang looked at the leaders mingling below the stage and, beside them, four Baibai Blossoms lined up, holding something in their hands.

Baibai Blossoms, Grass-type Pet Beast, with flowers on their heads whose fragrance induces relaxation. Because of their high aesthetic appeal and popularity, they are often featured as ceremonial Pet Beasts at various award ceremonies in the Yuhua Region.

Qiao Sang’s gaze landed on the trays held in the Baibai Blossoms’ hands, and she perked up.

The National School Beast Taming Competition wasn’t for nothing – other than vying for slots in top-tier academies, both provincial and zone competitions offered prizes upon reaching certain ranks.

The provincial competition had prizes for the top three, while the zone competition rewarded the top ten.

Despite now having an unlimited credit card with a one-year term, and she could buy most things she wanted, Qiao Sang still looked forward to prizes won through her own strength.

...

Perhaps because it was a high school contest, the final award ceremony wasn’t as flashy as the Bai Xinsai.

Qiao Sang went up to receive two awards, one for Most Potential, and the other was the first-place prize.

Beast taming, starting from zero point Chapter 407 - 386: Not Losing on Purpose, Right? (Supplementary)

The Devil's Betrothed An A-grade potential enhancer and a bracelet to be worn by a Pet Beast.

Qiao Sang looked at the black bracelet in her hand, lost in a daze. She felt it closely resembled the bracelets worn by the companion beasts of villains in a movie she’d seen a while ago.

But she hadn’t seen such an accessory in her surroundings, so she couldn’t be sure.

The Lightweight Shrinking Bracelet, whose emitted light waves could reduce the size of a Pet Beast.

When this bracelet first hit the market, it caused a frenzy, as the increasing size of Pet Beasts with each evolution was a serious problem.

It’s not that having a large Pet Beast is bad, but for high-level Pet Beasts fond of playing and wandering, a big size is a hindrance when not in battle or at work.

The advent of the Lightweight Shrinking Bracelet solved this issue.

Logically, every large-sized Pet Beast should have one of these bracelets, but this bracelet was marketed with scarcity, with a limited number offered for sale each quarter, and one could only qualify to purchase if they confirmed having a Pet Beast so large it affected their lifestyle.

After watching the movie, she searched online and found one must have a Pet Beast larger than 6 meters to be eligible for pre-ordering.

A 6-meter-tall Pet Beast would at least be General-level.

Due to its precision-targeted consumer group combined with no shortage of buyers, the bracelet’s high prices and scarcity served as barriers.

This indicated it was not something one could purchase whenever they wished, but depended on eligibility for pre-ordering and also luck and competition.

Qiao Sang’s heartbeat quickened.

If it really was a Lightweight Shrinking Bracelet, it would be perfect for Yaobao...
