Chapter 388: Compact Shrinking Bracelet
Chapter 388: Compact Shrinking Bracelet
One advantage of the final day of the Elimination Round is that you can find out who your opponent will be in advance.
Qiao Sang knew Xu Yixuan all too well.
During the Group Stage, they lived together, and sometimes they even helped each other plan their battle strategies for the next day.
For a Treasure Seeker, controlling Blazefang wasn't difficult. However, Qiao Sang knew that Xu Yixuan would definitely make Blazefang go wild, attacking the shadow and the surrounding area whenever the Treasure Seeker used Invisibility.
Though it would waste some energy, it could prevent the Treasure Seeker from getting too close. If by chance, it hit the Treasure Seeker while it was invisible, that would be even better.
Qiao Sang didn't think the Treasure Seeker couldn't get close to control Blazefang.
But following Xu Yixuan's strategy would prolong the match time.
So she came up with this plan.
To teleport successfully, all she needed was a momentary gap.
If she could make Blazefang think it had hit the Treasure Seeker, the moment it relaxed, the Treasure Seeker could teleport to Blazefang's shadow without any obstacles.
Qiao Sang focused on Blazefang's shadow. At that moment, the Treasure Seeker was already standing next to it.
"Seek~"
The Treasure Seeker raised its Short Toe, connecting its shadow to the shadow on the ground.
Seeing this, the audience stands erupted in cheers.
"Great job!"
"I knew it! There's no way she'd use Shadow Veil so openly!"
"Wow, for a moment, I really thought the Treasure Hunter Demon was done for."
"666, she doesn't hesitate to trick her own teammate!"
"This is a one-on-one match, they're not teammates, they're opponents!"
On the field.
Almost as soon as the Treasure Seeker controlled the shadow, Blazefang reacted, opening its mouth to spray a scorching flame at the Treasure Seeker's position.
The Treasure Seeker's lips curled into a smile, and it flicked its Short Toe. Blazefang immediately flipped over, landing on its back.
The flames still being emitted changed direction, smoothly forming a semicircular arc.
No need to panic. Next, the Treasure Hunter Demon would Spin. The time spent practicing Anti-Dizziness with Flame Lord wasn't for nothing... Xu Yixuan reassured herself.
Wait... Spin?
Xu Yixuan suddenly thought of something and her gaze darted back and forth between Blazefang and the Treasure Hunter Demon.
Ding Yanjing's Flash Crow was in the air, so there was no way to stop it, but if Blazefang were to Spin while using Flame Jet, the Treasure Hunter Demon would definitely have to release Shadow Control to avoid the flames.
After all, the Treasure Hunter Demon couldn't maintain two-dimensional Shadow Control while moving.
Hurry up and Spin, why aren't you Spinning yet! No, I'm getting a bit excited. Qiao Sang is so devious, she'll definitely notice something from my expression... Xu Yixuan restrained the corners of her mouth from curling up, trying to keep her expression flawless.
The Treasure Seeker's Short Toe twitched. Just as it was about to make the opponent Spin, it heard its Beastmaster's voice:
"Hypnosis."
Xu Yixuan: "???"
"Seek~"
The Treasure Seeker's Short Toe curved, and Blazefang flipped over, standing back up on the ground.
"Fire!"
Blazefang, looking furious, opened its mouth to prepare for a Flame Jet.
But just as it flipped over and its vision leveled, it saw a pair of purple eyes.
"Fire..."
Blazefang felt a wave of drowsiness and promptly closed its eyes, falling asleep on the ground.
A Mechanical Pet floated over from the side, looked at Blazefang's face, and then used its claw to pick up the whistle hanging from its neck and blew it loudly.
"Quack!"
The main referee announced, "Holy Water High School, Qiao Sang, wins!"
The audience stands buzzed with excited chatter and discussion.
"Did she win? Just like that?"
"This was the final? Not very satisfying, it was completely one-sided..."
I glanced at the clock. The two matches combined didn't even last five minutes...
"Something's not right. Is Hypnosis that hard to shake off? Why did Xu Yixuan's two familiars fall for it and couldn't get up?"
"Maybe this Treasure Hunter Demon has a very high proficiency in Hypnosis."
"That's the only explanation. But then, how high does the proficiency need to be for the referee to rule that Dream Weaver and Blazefang can't continue the match?"
"I think it must be either Perfection or Mastery. From all the matches I've watched, no one who fell under this Treasure Hunter Demon's Hypnosis has managed to wake up quickly."
"Perfection... Mastery..."
...
Contestant Area.
Because the awards ceremony was scheduled for ten minutes later, Qiao Sang, Xu Yixuan, and Wang Rui sat together.
Xu Yixuan had been holding back for a while but couldn't resist asking, "Qiao Sang, you usually have the Treasure Hunter Demon use Spin to control others. Why didn't you use it this time?"
Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you practicing Blazefang's Anti-Dizziness during this time?"
Xu Yixuan: "!!!"
Xu Yixuan felt as if struck by five lightning bolts, completely stunned.
Wang Rui gave her a sympathetic look from the side.
He now understood why Xu Yixuan had lost so badly. Practicing to defend against a technique and letting the opponent know about it was practically useless...
Qiao Sang looked at the various leaders chatting below, and the four Blossoms standing in a line beside them, holding trays.
Blossom, a Grass-Type Companion Beast, whose head flowers emit a relaxing fragrance. Due to their high aesthetic appeal, they are popular and often serve as ceremonial familiars at award ceremonies in the Yuhua Region.
Qiao Sang's gaze fell on the tray held by the Blossom, and her spirits lifted.
The National School Beastmaster League wasn't just for show. Besides securing a qualification for the Top Academy's assessment, both the Provincial and Regional Tournaments offered prizes for achieving a certain ranking.
The Provincial Tournament awarded prizes to the top three, while the Regional Tournament awarded prizes to the top ten.
Although she now had an Unlimited Credit Card valid for a year, which could buy most of what she wanted, Qiao Sang still looked forward to the prizes she won through her own efforts.
...
Perhaps because it was a High School Student competition, the final award ceremony wasn't as elaborate as the Newcomer Competition.
Qiao Sang went up to receive two awards: the Most Potential Award and the first-place prize.
An A-Class Potential Enhancer and a familiar bracelet.
Qiao Sang stared at the black bracelet in her hand, lost in thought. It reminded her of the villain's familiar's bracelet in a movie she had seen recently.
However, she had never seen such a bracelet before, so she couldn't be sure.
The Compact Shrinking Bracelet emits a light wave that can reduce a familiar's size.
When the bracelet first came out, it was in high demand. After all, the increasing size of familiars as they evolve is a serious issue.
It's not that larger familiars are bad; it's just that for high-level familiars who love to play and wander around, their size can be a nuisance when not in battle or working.
The Compact Shrinking Bracelet solved this problem.
In theory, every large familiar should have one, but the bracelet's marketing strategy was scarcity. Only a limited number were sold each quarter, and one had to confirm that their familiar's size was affecting their daily life to qualify for purchase.
After watching the movie, she searched online and found that only those with familiars over six meters tall could pre-order the bracelet online.
A familiar over six meters tall is at least a General-Class.
Due to the precise target audience and high demand, the bracelet maintained its high price and scarcity, making it a luxury item that required both qualification and a bit of luck to obtain.
Qiao Sang's heart began to race.
If it really was a Compact Shrinking Bracelet, it would be perfect for Fangy...
