Chapter 1079: Really, They've Gotten Bold
Chapter 1079: Really, They've Gotten Bold (Combined)
As they spoke, the Lightning Hound darted forward like a streak of white lightning.
Despite its incredible speed, Qiao Sang could still clearly see its movements.
When the white lightning was about ten meters away from the Thunder Dragon, she shouted:
"Strike forward!"
A yellow electric arc gathered on the Thunder Dragon's body and shot forward, hitting the target.
"Electric Frenzy!"
The Lightning Hound let out a piercing cry as it was struck head-on.
However, it did not stop. Instead, it showed a determined expression and charged through the yellow lightning, heading straight for the Thunder Dragon.
"Bang!"
A loud crash echoed as the Thunder Dragon was sent flying backward.
The crowd erupted into a cacophony of voices:
"The Lightning Hound is really something!"
"Qiao Sang’s commands are spot-on, but unfortunately, the Thunder Dragon’s attack power isn’t strong enough."
"The Lightning Hound is an Electric Beast, so it’s normal for it to break through the Electric-type skills of a familiar with a lower level."
"The outcome of this match is still uncertain. The Thunder Dragon’s Electric-type skills have little effect on the Lightning Hound, but if it uses Flash of Lightning, it might just win."
"From that one Flash of Lightning, the Thunder Dragon seems to be in trouble."
"Didn’t you watch yesterday’s match? This Thunder Dragon has the Multiple Scales trait, which halves the damage it takes when at full status. Even though it was hit earlier, it was an Electric-type attack, and it has the Lightning Rod trait, so that was its first real injury."
"Those two traits together are really impressive. If the Thunder Dragon were at the same level as the Lightning Hound, it would definitely win this match."
"Even if they were the same level, the Thunder Dragon would still win without those traits. A Dragon-type and Electric-type dual-type familiar has overwhelming attack and defense. Qiao Sang’s command skills are also superior to Yu Shike’s. There’s no way they can lose."
"What’s the point of saying all that? They’re not at the same level."
On the field:
" Tingting... "
The Thunder Dragon’s body glowed silver-white as it struggled to stand up.
"Flash of Lightning!" Yu Shike called out loudly.
Without hesitation, the Lightning Hound transformed into a streak of white lightning and charged forward again.
It looked like the match was about to end. Everyone watched intently, waiting for the next collision.
The Multiple Scales trait could no longer be triggered, and the Lightning Hound would likely continue its attack despite the damage. The only chance for victory now was the Dragon Tail... Qiao Sang kept a close eye on the Lightning Hound’s movements.
It was a risky move, but it was their only shot!
When the white lightning was about three meters away from the Thunder Dragon, she shouted:
"Dragon Tail!"
Dragon Tail? The Thunder Dragon knows Dragon Tail? The crowd was taken aback.
" Tingting! "
The Thunder Dragon’s expression turned serious as it gathered strength in its tail.
A silver-white glow enveloped its tail, which it then swung forward with great force.
Just as the tail swung forward, the white lightning reached the exact spot where the tail was aimed.
"Bang!"
The silver-white tail struck the white lightning with a heavy thud.
"Electric Frenzy!"
The Lightning Hound let out a piercing cry and was sent flying backward.
The camera zoomed in for a close-up.
In the scene, the Lightning Hound had already fainted with its eyes closed.
The Thunder Dragon looked at its fallen opponent, panting heavily, but without showing any particular surprise.
There was a brief moment of silence, followed by a burst of noise like dust being kicked up.
The volume of the voices and the intensity of the discussions were unprecedented since the start of the matches.
"Damn, the Thunder Dragon actually knows Dragon Tail!"
"Either it doesn't use Dragon-type Skills at all, or when it does, it's an Advanced Skill. Impressive!"
"A Beginner Beast successfully using an Advanced Skill, this could make the news..."
"It was hiding this deep. It didn't use this move during the battle with the Fire Shell Snail yesterday."
"This Thunder Dragon's talent is definitely exceptional. Familiars can sometimes Awaken higher-level Skills at low ranks, but those are usually Talent Skills. Dragon Tail isn't a Talent Skill, so it either learned it or it's inherent in its bloodline."
"No need to think about it, it's definitely the latter. A Beginner Beast can't learn an Advanced Skill on its own, but even if it's inherent, that's still impressive. Many familiars Awaken new Skills but can't even use them, let alone a High-Rank Skill at the Low-Class stage."
"If this Thunder Dragon wasn't Blue Star's familiar, I'd want to bond with it..."
"Could you afford to bond with it?"
"..."
In the guest area.
Fujian suddenly stood up, then sat back down, shocked.
"The Thunder Dragon actually knows Dragon Tail!"
Feodor also wore a look of astonishment.
"After the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Rod Trait was revealed, I thought it might win under Qiao Sang's command thanks to this Trait, but I never imagined it had this hidden trump card."
He continued, reflecting.
"Quite a surprise indeed."
As a familiar, Railway Justice usually watched the battles or matches directly and didn't read much, so he wasn't entirely clear about the significance of a Dragon-type Beginner Beast using Dragon Tail.
However, he knew that the Thunder Dragon had defeated a higher-ranked opponent, the Lightning Hound, and called out with a reflective expression:
"Iron, iron."
"Iron, iron."
Fujian and Feodor heard the translation through their earpieces.
Fujian nodded and said:
"Railway Justice is right. Qiao Sang's command and timing at the crucial moment were spot-on. Similarly, the Thunder Dragon executed Qiao Sang's command immediately, which is why Dragon Tail hit the Lightning Hound so precisely. If the command had been a second slower, or if the Thunder Dragon's action had been a second slower, Flash of Lightning would have hit the Thunder Dragon first, and the match's outcome would have been entirely different."
Feodor concluded:
The trust and tacit understanding between Qiao Sang and the Thunder Dragon is exactly what we want to see.
"Iron, iron."
Railway Justice nodded.
Amid the chorus of discussions, Qiao Sang stepped forward and picked up the Thunder Dragon.
...
Before all the matches had concluded, Qiao Sang left the venue, sitting on Fangy and rising into the air.
The Thunder Dragon used its tail to drink the Energy Recovery Serum.
Migala floated beside Fangy and asked:
"Can the Thunder Dragon now use Dragon Tail smoothly?"
"Not yet", Qiao Sang shook her head.
"Being able to use it in today's match was just luck."
"Luck is also a form of strength", Migala said, then seemed to think of something and suddenly fell silent.
"Teacher, can I borrow your mobile phone for a moment?" Qiao Sang asked.
Migala didn't say anything, just took out her mobile phone and handed it over.
Qiao Sang dialed her own number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker's voice sounded through the speaker.
"Is Qingbao's match over?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker called out, indicating that it was over.
"When are you coming back?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out once more.
Qingbao said they would return after watching the match.
"Alright", Qiao Sang said. "Let me know when you're ready to come back, and I'll summon you directly."
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker called out, indicating no problem.
After a brief conversation, Qiao Sang hung up and returned the mobile phone to Teacher Migala.
Migala took the mobile phone and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to Clear Hidden Sprite's match venue now?"
Now? Qiao Sang was taken aback and honestly replied, "No, Qingbao's match is already over today."
Migala was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if the match is over, you can still go. Don't you want to watch and study the opponents Clear Hidden Sprite might face next?"
Qiao Sang thought about it and said, "I'll pass. I can watch the replay of Qingbao's opponents later. It would be a waste of money to go now."
Although the school would reimburse the travel expenses, she felt it wasn't necessary. Besides, she wanted to spend more time meditating after returning.
Migala calmly said, "I can have Pengamei take you there directly."
Qiao Sang's first reaction was: Damn, Pengamei can actually go directly to Qingbao's match arena!
Her second reaction was: Of course, Pengamei is an Imperial Beast; crossing a city's distance shouldn't be a problem.
Still, she had a feeling that Teacher Migala really wanted her to go. Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and asked, "Take me there? Are you not coming, Teacher?"
"I won't go", Migala smiled. "I have some things to do. Pengamei can accompany you and bring you back when the match is over."
Qiao Sang still wanted to refuse.
"Ya Ya!"
But at that moment, Fangy excitement called out, indicating that watching the match would be great, and it wanted to go!
Qiao Sang responded, "Alright, I'll go."
"Meimei", Migala called.
Pengamei appeared.
Migala took out her mobile phone and showed Pengamei the match's address.
Pengamei's eyes glowed with blue light, and after a few seconds, she disappeared with Qiao Sang and Fangy.
Migala hovered in the air, took a deep breath, and formed a seal with her hands.
A majestic and ornate golden star array suddenly lit up.
A dragon-type beast companion, about a meter in size, with a dark red miniaturization band, a mostly blood-red body, large wings, and a triangular head with three holes on each side, appeared within the star array.
"Mo mo."
The triangular-headed familiar looked at Migala, showing a displeased expression, and called out.
"I just managed to find some time", Migala said.
"Mo mo."
The triangular-headed familiar snorted coldly.
Migala was silent for a moment, "I have a student who needs personal guidance, so it's inconvenient."
"Mo mo?"
The triangular-headed familiar looked to the side, asking.
"I've assigned her a mission, so she'll be back later", Migala explained.
"Mo mo?"
The familiar with a triangular head called out.
"She's an Imperial Class student, so her talent is naturally that of a prodigy", Migala replied.
"Mo mo."
The familiar's eyes lit up as it called out again.
"No", Migala's eyelid twitched, and she said without hesitation, "Her bonding page is already occupied by a familiar. Even if there were a blank page, she already has a Beast Companion she wants to bond with."
"Mo mo."
The familiar with the triangular head showed a discontented expression and called out.
Migala pretended not to hear and changed the subject. "Now that I'm already on Flame Sky Star, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet. You're managing an entire race, so you must be very busy. Why don't you head back first?"
The familiar with the triangular head stared at her without speaking.
"Dragon King", Migala called out with a helpless expression.
"Mo mo."
Dragon King called out, indicating that it wasn't in a hurry.
With that, it turned and flew forward.
Migala sighed. "You're going the wrong way. I don't live over there."
"Mo mo."
Dragon King turned its head and snorted coldly.
Who said I'm going to your place?
With that, it continued flying forward.
Migala: "..."
"Mo mo."
Dragon King suddenly turned its head and called out, indicating that she should hurry up and follow.
Migala's mouth twitched, and she followed along.
...
Meanwhile.
Hassman.
The entire Arena was bustling with activity.
Qingbao had signed up for the match, and Qiao Sang, as its Beastmaster, verified her identity and walked in smoothly.
As soon as she entered, she felt the heat from the crowd.
The vast Open Training Ground was surrounded by audience stands, and the center of the match Arena was open to the sky, allowing a view of the clear blue sky.
At a glance, the place was packed with people and familiars. The Arena was at least ten times the size of the Mulan Arena.
"Ya ya!"
Fangy watched the field excitedly.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon, feeling an even stronger heat than before, turned its head from Qiao Sang's neck and crawled over to Lulu's side.
Lulu remained expressionless as Thunder Dragon clung to her.
Qiao Sang scanned the sea of heads, trying to locate Treasure Seeker and Qingbao.
After a brief two-second search, she frowned and tried again.
Another two seconds passed, and Qiao Sang fell silent.
Treasure Seeker and Qingbao were not in this match Arena, nor were they anywhere nearby. They had just called a few minutes ago...
Had she been tricked?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and then turned to leave.
"Ya ya?"
Fangy looked puzzled.
Why are we leaving?
"I need to find Treasure Seeker and Qingbao first", Qiao Sang said.
"Fangy."
Fangy's expression changed to one of understanding.
Poor Treasure Seeker Big Brother... Steel Treasure mourned silently for Treasure Seeker.
Qiao Sang went to the shopping area inside the match venue, found a public telephone booth, and dialed her own number.
After two rings, the call connected.
"Xunxun?" Treasure Seeker's voice came through the speaker.
"It's me", Qiao Sang said in a gentle tone. "Where are you and Qingbao now?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, indicating that they were still watching the match.
"Is that so?"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, confirming it.
They really are getting bolder... Qiao Sang hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the booth, forming hand seals with both hands.
Two dazzling Redstar Arrays lit up simultaneously.
Soon, Treasure Seeker and Qingbao appeared within the Star Arrays.
