Chapter 328: The Platform Collapses
Chapter 328: The Platform Collapses
The effect of Healing Waves is to calm the opponent's mindset, not to make them foolish.
Faced with the sudden attack, Blazefang, of course, knew how to respond.
It raised its head, calmly opened its mouth, and was about to release a burst of flames.
However, due to its overly peaceful state of mind, its movements had slowed down several times.
Before the flames could even be released, Lulu's attack had already reached.
"Bang!!!"
Blazefang was hit head-on and flew several meters away, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
"Fire..."
Before closing its eyes, Blazefang thought hazily.
Oh, I got hit...
Ah, I lost... Xu Yixuan watched as Blazefang flew back and eventually fainted, feeling a sense of inner peace.
"Qu!"
At that moment, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.
Xu Yixuan snapped out of his daze, looking at Blazefang, who had closed its eyes and had a peaceful expression, his face turning pale with grief. "Flame Lord!"
In the audience stands, the crowd seemed to have just returned to their normal selves, and the chatter gradually grew louder.
"Damn? What was I just doing? Was I under a spell?!"
"I was acting really strange too! I didn't even feel the urge to scream at Glacialia!"
"Same here! Me too!"
"How did Xu Yixuan lose?!"
"It was the Healing Waves", a short-haired woman in the front row, where the officials were gathered, said. "This endangered familiar's proficiency in Healing Waves is quite high, affecting us as well."
"Blazefang's loss isn't unjustified. In battle, one must always remain highly alert and ready to respond at any moment", the man beside her added. "Fire-type familiars naturally have a surge of energy, but with Healing Waves, that surge was suppressed, and their alertness relaxed, naturally slowing their reaction speed."
"Moreover, it affected its Beastmaster as well", the short-haired woman added.
"What are you thinking?" The man asked, his expression serious. Qiao Sang's level had far exceeded that of a normal high school student. Not only did she have more familiars than others, but each one was incredibly powerful. If there were no unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely secure a spot in the Regional Tournament.
The short-haired woman's gaze remained fixed on Lulu. After a moment of silence, she replied, "I want to challenge her."
The man: "???"
...
The National School Beastmaster League was live-streamed on the official platform.
However, since it was still the early stages of the competition, with many participants and multiple grade levels competing simultaneously, the platform would stream several videos at once. Viewers had to search for the school and grade level they were interested in.
At this time, most of the people watching the Group Stage live stream on the platform were teachers, classmates, and friends and family of the participants.
Hanggang City.
A spacious apartment over 200 square meters.
This was the home of Liu Zheru from Xiongding High School.
In the living room, a holographic screen over three meters long was broadcasting the Group Stage matches in Hongrao Town.
"Dad! Mom! The contestant named Qiao Sang is up!" a girl on the sofa exclaimed excitedly.
"You mean the girl with the Flame Listener?" a woman holding a spatula walked out from the kitchen.
"Right!" The girl said, then paused to think. "I wonder if my brother will face her today?"
At that moment, a tall, bear-like middle-aged man walked out from the bedroom and said, "If he does, so be it. Your brother will definitely be fine!"
After the preliminary round, anyone following the competition knew that this year's National School Beastmaster League had produced a super dark horse in the Junior Year division—a contestant with a Green Star Array and a bonded Flame Listener.
The middle-aged man wasn't overly confident in his son; he just didn't want to undermine his own morale before the competition even began.
After all, it was his own child, and he had to give him at least some verbal support.
"You're just full of hot air", the woman said with a smile as she sat down on the sofa, glancing at him.
"How can it be hot air! My brother is so awesome!" the girl immediately retorted, clearly upset.
In her mind, no matter what, her brother was the best.
The woman couldn't help but laugh at her daughter's earnestness. Just as she was about to say something, her gaze was drawn to the familiar on the screen.
She paused for a moment before asking, "What kind of familiar is that? It looks really nice."
"Why didn't they send out the Flame Listener?" the middle-aged man muttered, then naturally pulled out his identifier and scanned the pale blue familiar on the holographic screen.
A mechanical electronic voice rang out in the living room:
[Glacialia, an Intermediate Beast from the Ancient Fog Region with Water and Ice attributes. The gem on its forehead can release a mystical Healing Light.]
The living room fell silent.
A few seconds later.
Three voices, each with a different tone, simultaneously exclaimed, "An endangered familiar?!!!"
A plump homing dove flying past the window was so startled that it almost lost its balance.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were playing out all over Zhehai Province.
People were making phone calls, sending messages, and even running to their neighbors' houses to spread the news.
"Did you hear? In the live stream of the National School Beastmaster League, a kid summoned an endangered familiar!"
"A kid from Holy Water High School bonded with an endangered familiar!"
"Did you know! An endangered familiar was bonded by a little brat!"
"Go check it out! An endangered familiar has appeared and is even in the middle of a match!"
"Damn! Don't just say it and leave! Which platform are you talking about?!"
The news spread like wildfire.
The number of people tuning in to the official platform for the National School Beastmaster League skyrocketed.
And before long, the platform crashed.
...
The people at the Huicheng Beast Tamer High School who were watching the match live had no idea about any of this. They were all intensely focused on the competition.
At the moment, Qiao Sang and Xu Yixuan were in their second match.
On the field.
"Yin yin."
A familiar with a jet-black body, a large red eye, and a small black pupil, with a ring of white bones around the eye, called out and vanished.
Dream Weaver, a Ghost-type Companion Beast with the Dream Inducer trait, could drag an opponent into a dream if they made eye contact for more than two seconds. This information came from a post on the forum analyzing the top members of the junior year, which mentioned Xu Yixuan.
Although the post from Litan Beastmaster High School had malicious intentions, it saved Qiao Sang a lot of time.
"Lulu."
Lulu looked around cautiously, but her cold expression made it seem like she was just glancing around casually.
"Ghost Flame!" Xu Yixuan made the first move.
Dream Weaver didn't appear, but several dozen ghostly green flames suddenly materialized around Lulu, forming a circle and rushing toward her.
