Chapter 188: Rebound Shield
Chapter 188: Rebound Shield
Zheng Guoping asked, "Did you watch the Beastmaster Channel's broadcast of the match between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu last night?"
Qiao Sang shook her head. "No, but I did see them trending on the hot search."
Zheng Guoping nodded understandingly. "Indeed, their match was quite spectacular. It’s no wonder they trended. Especially Ning Yu’s Blazing Battle Turtle using the Rebound Shield. This is the skill I want your Flame Listener to train next."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "What is Rebound Shield?"
She didn’t recall any skill called that in the Fire Pet Beast’s repertoire.
Zheng Guoping was also surprised. "Didn’t it trend? You didn’t know?"
"No, they trended because paparazzi took photos of Liu Qutong and Ning Yu having dinner after the match and staying in the same room at the same hotel for two hours", Qiao Sang explained innocently.
Liu Qutong and Ning Yu were considered the star players of the Yuhua Regional Tournament. Someone dug up that they attended the same school from elementary to high school, and many fans were shipping them as a couple.
Zheng Guoping was speechless.
He thought the trending topic was about the exciting battle, but it turned out to be gossip?
How could netizens be so idle?
Zheng Guoping couldn’t hold back his curiosity. "They really stayed in the same room for two hours?"
"Seems so", Qiao Sang nodded. "At least that’s what the paparazzi photos show."
Zheng Guoping was silent for a moment before getting back to the topic.
"The Rebound Shield is a strategy. It involves the familiar spinning in place to spread its skills over a wide area, turning offensive skills into both offensive and defensive moves."
"Didn’t they say, ‘Attack is the best defense’? Your Flame Listener knows Flame Vortex, so it can definitely train this skill."
Spinning in place?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment. "Teacher, Fangy doesn’t have a shell like the Blazing Battle Turtle. Won’t spinning on the ground make his fur fall out?"
Zheng Guoping’s eyelid twitched, trying to keep his tone normal. "Don’t worry about that. If Supernatural Creatures were that easy to injure, they’d be in the recovery ward after a few hits in any battle."
"However, the Flame Listener isn’t an Earth-type Beast Companion, so training this skill will be more challenging."
Qiao Sang seriously considered the feasibility of the skill.
The difficulty wasn’t the issue; she had already planned her defense strategy.
Fangy was not only a fire-type familiar but also had the Psychic Type.
Although Psychic Power was one of the most basic skills of Psychic Type familiars, if she could master it to the Ultimate Mastery level and have enough energy, she could control the sky and the earth with just one skill.
Bouncing back an attack skill would be no problem.
However, there were many ways to counter Psychic Power. For one, it could be dodged.
Of course, dodging Ultimate Mastery level Psychic Power was nearly impossible, but it wasn’t unheard of.
Additionally, Psychic Power could be interrupted during its execution.
If the opponent was too large or had far superior strength and energy, Psychic Power would be ineffective.
Thinking about it, having another defensive method might be a good idea…
…
6:22 PM.
In the living room.
Fangy and Treasure Seeker pressed their heads together, watching a video on the mobile phone.
The video showed the match between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu from yesterday.
In the video, a large, pink turtle familiar was curled up inside its shell, spinning like a top.
Circles of red flames continuously expanded outward from the spinning turtle, quickly colliding with the dozens of Crescent Blue Wind Blades descending from above.
A massive explosion of power erupted.
Amid the red blaze, a medium-sized bird familiar screeched and crashed to the ground.
Qiao Sang took a bite of an apple on the sofa and said, "It's quite simple. Just like it, spin while using Flame Jet. The key is to maintain a high-speed spin while releasing flames, and not to get dizzy."
"But you're different", Qiao Sang smiled at the puzzled Fangy. "I've thought about it. This move can't provide 360-degree defense. If the opponent can burrow underground, the move becomes useless."
"To achieve all-around defense, we need to spin in the air."
"Ya?"
Fangy was even more confused.
How do you spin in the air?
"When you're in the air, just focus on using Flame Jet and keeping your mind clear. Let the Clone use Psychic Power to control your body and make you spin", Qiao Sang explained.
Apart from this reason, there was another: Fangy didn't have Ground-type attributes, so its defense was average. Spinning at high speed on the ground would likely result in some injuries.
In the air, there's no friction. As long as you don't get dizzy, you can keep spinning indefinitely.
Qiao Sang wasn't worried at all about whether Fangy could learn this.
Yesterday, it took less than an hour to master teleportation. Was this kind of technical training really harder than learning a new skill?
If other Beastmasters heard Qiao Sang's idea, they might erupt in outrage.
Making a familiar spin in the air while being controlled by a Clone and simultaneously using Flame Jet and staying clear-headed—could a normal Beastmaster even suggest such a thing?!
A Clone is a skill!
Is it being controlled by a Clone using Psychic Power?!
No!
It's the familiar controlling the Clone to use Psychic Power to spin itself!
Look at that, is that something a human would do?!
Of course, Qiao Sang thought her idea was great, and so did Fangy.
"Ya!"
Fangy nodded vigorously, and a Clone appeared beside it, ready to start the special training.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang quickly put down her apple and shouted, "This is the living room!"
"Ya!"
Fangy called out, indicating it understood, and then turned with the Clone to head toward the courtyard.
"Wait!" Qiao Sang stopped them again. "Not yet."
"Ya?"
Fangy tilted its head, looking at its Beastmaster.
Aren't we supposed to train?
Although Qiao Sang was a bit poor, she was smart!
"We'll take it step by step. What if you get dizzy and fall from the sky? First, we need to practice Anti-Dizziness."
"Ya!"
Fangy's eyes lit up, looking enlightened.
Even though her Beastmaster was a bit poor, she was clever!
"Let's stay in the living room. Don't go up in the air yet. Let the Clone use Psychic Power to control your spinning, but don't use Flame Jet. Just spin", Qiao Sang said.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy nodded, got into position, and prepared to be spun.
The Clone's eyes glowed blue.
"Xun xun!"
At that moment, Treasure Seeker came to Fangy and called out twice, trying to stop it.
Then, Treasure Seeker turned and patted its chest at Qiao Sang.
"Xun xun!"
"Do you want to help Fangy spin?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun~"
