Chapter 314: Principal! It's a Crisis!
Chapter 314: Principal! It's a Crisis!
However, to truly take revenge, there is one prerequisite.
They can't lose!
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker looked at the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle, a serious expression on his face.
The battle began.
Treasure Seeker used Invisibility and vanished from the spot.
Guo Jiasong, the contestant from Hanggang Sixth Beastmaster High School, simply Slacked Off, not giving any commands to counter.
Regardless of how monstrous Qiao Sang herself was, just the title of Holy Water High School Team member was enough to make him feel that winning was hopeless.
Actually, there were many people with a mindset like Guo Jiasong's.
As soon as they faced a prestigious school, they didn't even know the strength of their opponents, yet they already felt they couldn't win before the match even began.
Different people with this mindset fell into two categories.
One part tried their best to give it a shot, while the other decided to go through the motions, conserving their energy for the matches they were more confident in.
Guo Jiasong was the latter.
"Lupa."
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle clearly had a different mindset from its Beastmaster.
Its eyes scanned the surroundings, showing a cautious expression.
Just as the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle's gaze turned to the left, Treasure Seeker appeared on the right, extending a large tongue as if to lick it.
Although the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle's gaze was to the left, it still sensed a sudden shadow on the right.
"Lupa!"
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle instinctively pulled its head back into its shell, and Treasure Seeker's tongue licked the air.
"Xun"
Treasure Seeker pouted and vanished once more.
"Lupa!"
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle stayed in its shell for a moment, then, sensing no danger, it poked its head out and turned to its Beastmaster, calling out seriously.
It was a reminder that this was a match, and they needed to get into the right state of mind!
Guo Jiasong was taken aback by this. He hadn't expected the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle to still have such high morale after losing to Holy Water High School twice.
At that moment, Treasure Seeker appeared like a ghost, only 0.1 centimeters away from the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle's head.
"Be careful!" Guo Jiasong shouted in alarm.
Before Treasure Seeker could do anything, the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle quickly pulled its head back into its shell again.
"Xun"
Treasure Seeker used Invisibility once more.
Guo Jiasong let out a sigh of relief, his eyes gradually becoming more determined.
That's right.
Qiao Sang was indeed strong, but this time she hadn't sent out Flame Listener!
This Treasure Seeker was small and clearly malnourished, so its strength was definitely weaker than an ordinary Treasure Seeker.
If that was the case, why not give it a try!
Even if they couldn't earn all three points, they might still have a chance to tie!
A tie would still earn them one point!
The more Guo Jiasong thought about it, the more it made sense. His confidence was reignited, and he immediately called out, "Sandstorm!"
"Lupa!"
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle received the command, poked its head out, and swiped its left front claw forward, sending a wave of dust swirling around, obscuring its own figure.
Sandstorm, a Low-Rank Ground-type Skill.
Although it wasn't a high-level skill, it was very practical.
It could use its claws or limbs to raise dust to interfere with the opponent's vision, making it a commonly used skill among Earth-type Beast Companions of lower levels.
Dust filled the air, but Treasure Seeker's figure never appeared.
"It's been a minute already", someone in the audience stands said, glancing at the time on their wrist. "It seems Qiao Sang's Treasure Seeker is quite a bit weaker than Flame Listener. I thought Treasure Seeker might also dominate the match."
"Daydreaming", the man next to him leaned back in his chair, lazily remarking. "At her age, having a Green Star Array and a Flame Listener is already enough to blind everyone else. If all her other familiars were as monstrous as Flame Listener, how would others even live?"
"Indeed. This Treasure Seeker seems to be accustomed to close-range attacks. Once there's a Sandstorm to obstruct it, it doesn't make a move. If the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle keeps up the Sandstorm and the Treasure Seeker never appears, this match might drag on indefinitely."
"Don't worry. The rules state that one side can't remain inactive for the entire match", the man leaning back in his chair said. "Even Ghost-type Companion Beasts are monitored by the Sensing Devices and Security Cameras in the arena. The main referee is watching the Security Cameras. If the Treasure Seeker uses Invisibility to leave the arena or stays motionless, the main referee would have already raised a Yellow Card."
"I'm not concerned about fouls. I just feel like—oh my god!" Suddenly, the man who had been speaking stared at the arena, his excitement rising.
The man who had been lounging lazily in his chair also sat up straight, his eyes wide with confusion as he watched the scene unfold.
On the field, the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle was yanked out of the Sandstorm by an unseen force and then abruptly pulled up into the air!
"Lupa!!!"
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle, which had initially seemed so composed, now cried out in terror, tears streaming down its face.
Help! It was afraid of heights!
Just as it stopped ascending, it froze mid-air, its eyes brimming with tears, its body rigid with fear, not daring to move a muscle.
Before it could catch its breath and relax, its entire body began to spin uncontrollably in the air.
"Lupa!!!"
"Xunxun~"
As the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle's cries of distress echoed, the Treasure Seeker revealed itself. One of its paws cast a shadow that connected to a shadow on the ground, drawing circles, while the other paw covered its mouth, stifling a giggle.
It would have been much easier if it had just let it lick it once. Instead, it had withdrawn its head into its shell and stirred up all that sand, making it hard to get close. That's why it had to use this move.
"Is, is this Shadow Control?!" The coach from Hanggang Sixth Beastmaster High School exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. His voice was strained with shock. "Shadow Control is an Advanced Skill! How is that possible?!"
Chen Shengtang's expression was pained, his voice hoarse. "Qiao Sang was almost our school's student! Just a little more!"
Coach: "."
Is this ever going to end?!
On the field.
An invisible force continued to control the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle, spinning it endlessly in the air.
"Lupa."
"Lu"
The Dual-Tailed Land Turtle's cries of distress gradually faded into silence.
"Xun~"
The Treasure Seeker stopped its paw movements.
The shadow connecting to the ground separated.
"Bang!"
Without the shadow's control, the Dual-Tailed Land Turtle fell heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Guo Jiasong snapped out of his shock at the loud thud.
What just happened?!
What kind of Ghost-type Skills was this?!
He had never encountered anything like this in the previous two National School Beastmaster League competitions!
Qiao Sang's expression remained calm.
Shadow Control was indeed a powerful move that could be used as a trump card. Most people wouldn't reveal their trump cards in the preliminary rounds.
But she didn't mind. After all, she had more than one trump card.
There were many more opponents to face. In actual combat, the key was to use Skills flexibly and choose the right moves based on the situation. That was what the Treasure Seeker needed to do in battle.
As for revealing Shadow Control too early, that was a secondary concern.
In the audience stands, a middle-aged man in black clothing hurriedly stood up and rushed to the edge of the arena. He nervously pulled out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Principal! It's a disaster!"
