Chapter 305: Don't Get Distracted Easily
Chapter 305: Don't Get Distracted Easily
As the referee blew the whistle, the audience stands erupted into chaos.
"Over? It's over already?!"
"What's going on?! Can the Flame Listener teleport? Isn't it a Fire Familiar?!"
"Did they even fight? I just looked down to grab a bottle of water, and it's over?!"
This is outrageous!
The students participating in the National School Beastmaster League are the best from their respective schools. Even if their familiars are at the same level, there shouldn't be such a huge gap in performance!
Qiao Sang remained calm amidst the commotion around her.
She knew that winning so easily was largely due to the fact that the opponent hadn't anticipated that Fangy had Psychic-type attributes.
The information gap led to him not being prepared.
As the competition progresses, it usually gets harder. On one hand, the opponents become stronger, and on the other, the familiars' strengths and hidden abilities are revealed, allowing people to come up with strategies and countermeasures in advance.
Battles where one side is eliminated so quickly are rare in the later stages of the competition.
"Fangy, don't get complacent. This is just the first round", Qiao Sang cautioned.
"Fangy!"
Fangy let out a spirited call, indicating he was ready to fight seriously.
At the same time, the whistle for the second match was blown.
Zhao Weiwei, looking dejected, began the summoning seal.
The Gray Star Array lit up.
Qiao Sang and Fangy watched intently.
"Ear-y~"
A cat familiar with ears longer than a rabbit's appeared in the Star Array, leisurely lifting its left front paw to lick it with its tongue.
Qiao Sang: "."
Fangy: "."
Basic Familiar, Long-Eared Cat. This is practically a free win, isn't it?
As soon as the match started, Fangy used Flame Vortex. The Long-Eared Cat couldn't dodge in time, and the battle was over, even faster than the previous one by two seconds.
Zone C was silent.
Although they had guessed the outcome as soon as the familiar appeared, the match ended before their eyes could blink. The strength disparity was just too great.
Apart from Holy Water High School's participants, the other schools' contestants and leaders looked extremely serious. After all, most of them were in Group A2 and would eventually face Qiao Sang.
At Fuqi Beast Master High School's contestant area:
The senior class coach said sternly, "When you go up, don't reveal your full strength. Lose if you have to, understood?"
"Why?" the girl with the headband asked, confused.
"The coach means to keep our strength hidden to deal with others", Li Kun said, his gaze not leaving the girl on the field. "We have no chance of winning against her. It's better to lose and keep our secrets from others."
That's exactly what he meant. The coach nodded in approval.
The preliminary round uses a point system. If they lose a few points here, they can make up for it by winning against others.
Scoring points against Holy Water High School was already unrealistic, let alone against this freak. They just didn't have the same illusions of winning as before.
Fire-type and Psychic-type combined—there's no way their school's students could stand a chance.
The girl with the headband thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think even if we wanted to show our full strength, we wouldn't get the chance."
Coach: "."
The initial matches of the preliminary round are all held on the same day, with each contestant facing three others from the same school. After each match, there's a ten-minute break for healing and rest.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Sang sent out Fangy again.
At Holy Water High School's contestant area:
"He Datao analyzed, "The second one is Li Kun. I saw Qiao Sang chatting with this Li Kun just now. It seems she'll go easy on the next two matches."
Xu Yixuan chuckled and said, "Before Qiao Sang's match, I thought the same thing."
Who would have thought that such a sincere and earnest junior could be so devious!
If Qiao Sang hadn't been listening to the entire conversation between Li Kun and her, and then seen the Flame Listener that was summoned, she might have believed that the two were really getting along well.
Junior, you're terrifying!
On the field, the referee blew the whistle.
Li Kun, out of habit, prepared to play the victim. He said with a complicated expression, "You tricked me."
Qiao Sang replied, "Spark."
"Fangy!"
Fangy swiftly shot out a ball of flames filled with destructive energy.
The Longtail Serpent was startled and instinctively lashed its tail, using it to bounce itself several meters away.
However, Spark suddenly changed direction just as the Longtail Serpent landed, continuing its attack in its direction.
"Bang!!!"
The flames exploded on the Longtail Serpent's body, ending the battle.
Li Kun: "???"
I just said a sentence, and you attacked immediately. What happened to martial virtue?!
Even if the familiar you sent out tricked me, and we chatted for so long, couldn't you at least show a bit of sentiment? Couldn't you have chatted for one more sentence before attacking?!
After the referee announced the result of the match, Qiao Sang sincerely said, "This is a formal competition. Don't get distracted easily. I hope you won't make the same mistake in the next match."
Li Kun: "."
"Was that Spark?"
"It must have been. I heard her say Spark."
"Is Spark that powerful? It can take out a familiar of the same rank in an instant?"
"It's a matter of proficiency. If I'm not mistaken, that Flame Listener's Spark proficiency must have reached its peak."
"Peak?"
"Meaning Mastery."
"Whoa", the person asking sucked in a breath.
Mastery?!
Even in the Finals of the National School Beastmaster League, you rarely see such a level of proficiency!
The people around them were intensely discussing the battle that just took place.
Meanwhile, a new round of battles began.
This time, Li Kun summoned a Powerful Duck.
"Water-type counters fire-type. This time, it won't be over in a second. Otherwise, I'd start feeling sorry for the students of Fuqi Beast Master High School."
"That's not certain. The Flame Listener has a Psychic type as well."
"That's true. I saw this information online, but I thought it was a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Me too. But let's not talk about that. How long do you think this match will last?"
"Ten seconds. It's a Water Elemental Familiar, after all."
"I bet eight seconds."
The people around them chatted idly, and even though the attributes were countered, no one doubted that Qiao Sang would lose.
The referee blew the whistle.
Li Kun raised his hand, about to give an order.
At that moment, Qiao Sang said, "Actually, I didn't mean to trick you."
Li Kun looked at Qiao Sang in surprise.
Just that moment of hesitation was enough. He heard the Powerful Duck's cry of pain.
Li Kun quickly turned to look at the source of the sound and was completely stunned.
The Powerful Duck hadn't fallen, but its entire body was already outside the designated battle area.
It turned out that while Qiao Sang was speaking, Fangy had used Psychic Power to control the Powerful Duck and move it out of bounds.
According to the rules of the competition, if a familiar is forced out of the designated area or crosses the boundary on its own, it loses the right to continue the match.
Qiao Sang said earnestly, "I told you, this is a formal competition. Don't get distracted easily."
Li Kun: "!!!"
