Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Chapter 64: Fortunately Caught Up On the field.

A gray Star Array lit up in front of Hou Xiangyu.

A creature that looked like a scale weight in shape, but unlike the weight, its body was soft and light gray, floated above the Star Array.

Facing the known situation where his opponent only had a Fire-Toothed Dog, Hou Xiangyu did not send out the slightly weaker Bashe Butterfly, but rather, with great respect, summoned his Scale Absorber.

Hou Xiangyu looked at the Fire-Toothed Dog on the opposite side, which was already brimming with readiness, with full admiration.

He had only watched the Bai Xinsai competition on the first day to get a general idea of the level of the contestants, and he hadn’t paid attention to it on the following days.

Except for the round of 8 to 4 that morning.

Although he hadn’t watched all of Qiao Sang’s matches before, he had heard the name.

After all, there were only a few standout contestants in the Bai Xinsai, and the reports were all about them.

As the only contestant with an exclusive contract for a Fire Attribute Beast, and openly regarded by Sha Duo as a future opponent, it was hard for her not to attract attention.

This morning’s match was indeed worthy of the media’s coverage of her, perfectly demonstrating the concept of winning with weaker strength through tactics.

The tactics were quite clever.

But many people overlooked the fact that tactics also require the Pet Beast to have the strength to cooperate.

Just from a single match, the Fire-Toothed Dog had already showcased the skills of Shadow Clone, Blazing Charge, Flame Vortex, and Spark.

And the moment when it darted across the collapsing ground towards the Twin-Tailed Land Turtle, stepping on the stones—it couldn’t have done that without a certain level of reaction speed.

It was hard to believe that the beast was just contracted by a junior high graduate.

That match had even made him want to contract a Fire-Toothed Dog of his own.

The reason he sent out the Scale Absorber wasn’t that he thought the Bashe Butterfly would lose.

It was simply that summoning his strongest Pet Beast was a form of acknowledgment and respect for the opponent’s strength.

Everything was in place.

With the referee’s whistle, both parties used their skills at the first opportunity.

The Scale Absorber’s body emanated a layer of semi-transparent telekinetic fluctuations, and its two short claws pointed towards the Fire-Toothed Dog.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the Fire-Toothed Dog quickly charged towards the Scale Absorber.

En route, its figure flickered, multiplying from one to two, and two to four.

All four Fire-Toothed Dogs simultaneously used a fierce ramming attack.

The telekinetic fluctuations on the Scale Absorber’s short claws faltered, uncertain which target to use the telekinesis on.

And in that moment of hesitation, one Fire-Toothed Dog had already appeared before it.

The Scale Absorber regained its senses, its energy stirred, and its body appeared in a different direction.

The Fire-Toothed Dog struck at empty air.

Troublesome...

Qiao Sang inwardly sighed.

The Scale Absorber, to her surprise, also knew how to use Instantaneous Movement; she hadn’t seen it exhibit that skill in its previous matches.

She had thought of several plans to defeat the Scale Absorber.

For a Psychic Series Pet Beast, depleting its internal energy or attacking with a faster reaction speed might work.

But this Scale Absorber had Teleportation.

It was difficult to attack something like that.

After all, Teleportation is a skill that can be used with just a thought, and was definitely faster than the Fire-Toothed Dog could react.

Even if she managed to get within less than a meter’s distance, the Scale Absorber could instantly teleport away.

Long-range attacks were also unlikely to hit it.

It seemed she would have to resort to a war of attrition...

With distance between them, a deadlock ensued.

“Illusion Ray.”

Hou Yuxiang was the first to issue a command.

The Scale Absorber extended its short claw, and a beam of light mixed with various colors shot from its claw.

After the Illusion Ray hit one of the Fire-Toothed Dogs, that Fire-Toothed Dog quickly vanished.

It was a Doppelganger.

After resolving one Doppelganger, the Illusion Ray didn’t stop. Instead, it swept towards the other three Fire-Toothed Dogs in a continuous assault.

Since a Doppelganger’s energy can’t compare to the original, and its speed isn’t as great.

Soon, the two Fire-Toothed Dogs serving as doppelgangers vanished under the sweep of the Illusion Ray.

Only the real Fire-Toothed Dog remained, dodging around.

Just as the Scale-Control Oddity focused its power on attacking the single Fire-Toothed Dog on the field, Qiao Sang spoke up with a countermeasure, “Shadow Clone.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s figure shimmered, and immediately split into four again.

Scale-Control Oddity: “...!”

Hou Xiangyu frowned, guessing the opponent’s intention.

The Illusion Ray required no small amount of energy, especially to maintain such a sweeping state.

Whereas the Fire-Toothed Dog only needed to dodge and use Shadow Clones, which didn’t require much energy as long as it had the stamina.

Even though the Scale-Control Oddity was a mid-level Pet Beast with considerably more energy inside it than the Fire-Toothed Dog, under this unequal energy consumption, it was feared that the Scale-Control Oddity’s energy would be depleted first.

“Stop it,” Hou Xiangyu said calmly.

The Scale-Control Oddity lowered its short claws, and both sides were in stalemate again for a moment.

We need a quick resolution, Hou Xiangyu quickly judged the situation on the field and made a decision.

“Shadow Clone.”

A slight stir of energy inside the Scale-Control Oddity, and four Scale-Control Oddities appeared on the field.

Qiao Sang was slightly stunned.

There are so many hidden skills!

These weren’t seen in the previous battles!

A flicker of energy on the four Scale-Control Oddities, and they each appeared behind the four Fire-Toothed Dogs.

“Four Fire-Toothed Dogs versus four Scale-Control Oddities, the situation has become exciting. I didn’t expect both sides to exchange so many moves. Player Hou Xiangyu hasn’t ended the match as quickly as in the previous rounds. What do you think is the problem here?” the commentator asked, looking at the situation on the field.

This time, before Sha Duo could speak, Gao Xulu spoke first: “Of course, it’s because Player Qiao Sang is strong enough.”

Commentator: “...”

“Alright, let’s continue watching.”

“Illusion Ray,” Hou Xiangyu gave his command immediately afterward.

Four Illusion Rays were launched simultaneously at the four Fire-Toothed Dogs.

Just when everyone thought the match was about to end.

“Shadow Clone!” Qiao Sang shouted.

Shadow Clone?

Whether it was the audience present or the viewers watching the live broadcast, everyone was momentarily puzzled.

Wasn’t he already using Shadow Clones?

The Fire-Toothed Dog was also stunned for a moment.

But it quickly felt the change in energy inside itself.

Its figure shimmered, and the four Fire-Toothed Dogs instantly became eight.

“Tooth?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog cocked its head.

How did its Shadow Clone suddenly get stronger?

The entire arena was shocked.

Are all the newcomers hiding their strength so deeply?

In the guest seats.

“I didn’t expect the Fire-Toothed Dog had also been hiding its strength in the previous rounds.”

“Indeed, I’ve watched the earlier matches, and this Fire-Toothed Dog’s Flame Tooth and Spark have already reached a state of minor achievement, and its Flame Vortex is at a proficient level. I didn’t expect it had also mastered Shadow Clone to such a degree.”

“This Fire-Toothed Dog looks quite small. I thought it was young, but it seems it must be older.”

“That shouldn’t be right. Logically, a Fire-Toothed Dog’s orange-red short hair on top of its head should turn red like the rest of its fur when it reaches one year old, but the one in the field still has orange-red hair on top of its head,” a guest who had passed the Breeder qualification exam said.

“You mean a Fire-Toothed Dog, with so many skills and such high proficiency, is not even one year old?”

“Don’t listen to him; he didn’t even pass the F-level Breeder exam.”

The guest with the Breeder qualification: “...”

Thank goodness he made it in time.
