The spectators watching this scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, what is up with this Treasure-Hunting Demon? Why does it look so punchable?"
"Unbelievable. Plucking feathers and flipping the bird—it's as if it's terrified that it hasn't drawn enough aggro."
"666, this Treasure-Hunting Demon's provocation skill must have reached the ultimate level."
"Speaking of which, I just noticed—this Treasure-Hunting Demon is actually wearing colored contacts!"
"Tonghu Xiao's state seems a bit off; its Beast Tamer has been calling it for ages, but it's not even listening."
On the field.
Tonghu Xiao unleashed a flurry of skills in rapid succession.
It used Wind Blade for its Brave Bird attack, followed by Air Slash, and then immediately executed Steel Wing.
The ferocity of the offensive made Qiao Sang's little heart tremble.
Luckily, Little Treasure-Hunter could teleport, otherwise how could it possibly hold out...
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure-Hunter teleported, teleported, and teleported again, dodging in a manner that was quite pathetic.
Tonghu Xiao's offensive was truly fierce and its speed was incredibly fast.
Every time Little Treasure-Hunter narrowly avoided an attack and teleported to a new position, the next attack was already before its eyes; it had nearly been hit several times.
The attack speed of a High-level Pet is just that fast... If things continue like this, Tonghu Xiao's energy and stamina should be significantly depleted. When it launches another attack then, it should be more stable... Qiao Sang analyzed the current situation while her heart hung in her throat for Little Treasure-Hunter.
At that moment, Tonghu Xiao suddenly stopped.
"Xun..."
Little Treasure-Hunter finally had a moment to catch its breath; it used its claw to wipe away sweat that hadn't actually appeared on its forehead.
Finally a break...
Is it tired? It seems to be much more frail than she imagined... Qiao Sang looked up at Tonghu Xiao in mid-air, just about to tell Little Treasure-Hunter to take the opportunity to attack.
But right then, Tonghu Xiao spread its wings, and instantly, about twenty identical Tonghu Xiaos appeared in the sky above the entire arena.
Looking at the sky full of Tonghu Xiaos, a sentence she had seen online suddenly surfaced in Qiao Sang's mind
*Never let your pet casually use provocation skills to draw aggro; if that aggro accidentally hits the limit, the consequences will be terrifying!*
It couldn't have hit the limit, right... A bad premonition welled up in Qiao Sang's heart.
As it turned out, whatever one fears most is exactly what happens.
"Tonghu!"
Filled with rage, Tonghu Xiao's combat power practically skyrocketed.
The twenty-odd Tonghu Xiaos flapped their wings simultaneously, and hundreds of sharp blades condensed from the air fell like rain, frantically striking the position where Little Treasure-Hunter was located.
Seeing this, Ruan Yunwen's expression became complicated. She stopped shouting, effectively tacitly approving Tonghu Xiao's method of attack.
Although this wasn't her usual combat style, as long as she could win...
"Xun xun!!"
Terrified, Little Treasure-Hunter continuously used teleportation to dodge amidst the dense wind blades.
*Bang bang bang!!!*
As the wind blades hit the ground, the sandy arena instantly became riddled with holes.
In the spectator stands, many people broke into a cold sweat for the Treasure-Hunting Demon.
"That attack power... looks like it's really going for the kill..."
"It's also the Treasure-Hunting Demon's fault for provoking too much. Flipping the bird is one thing, but plucking feathers? And then it specifically showed them off to gloat."
"I think I see the intention of that kid from Holy Water Middle School; she wants to exhaust Tonghu Xiao's energy before making her move."
"It's not wrong to think that. I mean, would she just let the Treasure-Hunting Demon and Tonghu Xiao clash head-on? It would have to be able to win first."
"Speaking of which, this Treasure-Hunting Demon is quite slick with its teleportation; it hasn't been hit even now."
On the field.
Qiao Sang frowned at the current situation. So many wind blades had been unleashed for so long and still hadn't stopped; if this continued, Little Treasure-Hunter would likely be "gone."
Looking at Tonghu Xiao's current attack, its flight altitude seemed a bit lower, meaning its energy and stamina were likely heavily depleted.
It's time to strike... Qiao Sang made a decisive call and shouted
"Move onto it!"
Because of the exaggerated noise produced by the wind blades constantly hitting the ground, the people on-site couldn't hear Qiao Sang's voice clearly, but the official live stream platform heard it quite clearly.
The people watching the stream posted their opinions in real-time.
【The wind blade attacks are so dense, it probably can't teleport over, right?】
【Even if it can, how? There are so many clones, who knows which one is the original.】
【Asking because I don't know, why can't it teleport over?】
【Let me educate you, bro. Teleportation is a skill that moves you to another position instantly, but it doesn't work if there are obstacles in the way. For the Treasure-Hunting Demon to teleport to Tonghu Xiao's position, it would have to pass through all those wind blades at once, which is impossible.】
【No wonder. I was wondering why there were safe spots at the edges of the arena, yet it kept teleporting back and forth inside the wind blades.】
In the live stream footage, the Treasure-Hunting Demon was indeed struck by a wind blade during the teleportation process and fell to the ground. Immediately after, a dense swarm of wind blades ruthlessly descended upon its body.
In mid-air, Tonghu Xiao finally stopped with a satisfied look. The clones vanished one after another, leaving only the original hovering in the air with an expression that said, "This is what happens when you provoke me."
The viewers of the stream began typing rapidly.
【Good grief, it's hard to teleport when there are obstacles; she doesn't even know this basic common sense.】
【She's only 15, and she's managed to fight a High-level Pet until now; she's already done very well.】
【Was there a fight? All I saw was it dodging the whole time.】
【Being able to kite a High-level Pet until now is already very impressive, okay?】
【I don't care about winning or losing, I just want to see Ice Lugia.】
【This Tonghu Xiao's fighting style is too brutal. What's going to happen if Ice Lugia comes up in the next round!】
【I didn't think of that until you mentioned it...】
【Thinking about Ice Lugia's fate, oh god, my heart is already starting to ache!】
【Wait wait wait! Holy crap! What's going on with this Ghost-type pet? The teleportation succeeded?! Then what happened to the one that fell just now?!】
In the footage, the Treasure-Hunting Demon—which should have been covered in injuries—appeared completely unscathed on top of Tonghu Xiao. Furthermore, several eerie, black silk-like things emerged from its short toes, firmly binding Tonghu Xiao.
At the Kainan Pet Battle Arena.
"Tonghu!!!"
Tonghu Xiao, whose wings were also bound by the Dark Shadow Control, struggled desperately. However, without wings to beat the air to create lift and thrust, it could only fall vertically.
It seems my judgment was correct; Tonghu Xiao's energy and stamina were indeed heavily depleted, otherwise, with strength far exceeding Little Treasure-Hunter's, it probably could have broken free from the Dark Shadow Control... Qiao Sang looked at the situation on the field with satisfaction.
*Bang!!!*
Tonghu Xiao crashed heavily onto the ground, sending dust flying and creating a loud thud.
In the leadership area of the first row of the spectator stands.
Huang Renbiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Principal Wang, your school's Qiao Sang is hiding her cards very deeply. Not only can the Treasure-Hunting Demon use Substitute, but it even knows Spatial Movement."
*Holy crap! Spatial Movement?! Is this damn thing really a Mid-level Pet?! It's one thing to know the high-tier Ghost-type skill Dark Shadow Control, but it even knows the high-tier Psychic-type skill Spatial Movement! This is too broken...* While waves of shock surged in Wang Weidou's heart, he remained as steady as an old dog on the surface
"Just keeping a few tricks up her sleeve, basic operations. Didn't your school's Ding Yanjing also keep a few tricks hidden?"
