Chapter 406: How Can This Be, Are You Kidding Me?
Chapter 406: How Can This Be, Are You Kidding Me?
Mimimi’s proficiency in Enchantment Skills was unknown, and to prevent any possible Enchantment, sending the same-gender Lulu was the best choice.
Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on Mimimi.
This was her first time battling a Fairy-type familiar…
In the Contestant Area.
At the Lianke Region contestants’ area.
“Zhang Xueming is a bit unlucky, being paired with Qiao Sang,” a boy with thick eyebrows and a square face said.
Facing such a popular contestant, the psychological pressure during the match would be intense, regardless of the outcome.
“You don’t know Zhang Xueming; she’s incredibly calm and wouldn’t be bothered by an endangered familiar,” another boy with chestnut-colored hair said.
“Zhang Xueming is just unlucky. At this stage, it’s clearly about High-Class Beast Companions. Qiao Sang’s Blazing Star Hound is a Fire and Psychic type, while Zhang Xueming’s Ice Sea Lion is an Ice type. Fire overpowers Ice, and with the added Psychic type, she’s at a complete disadvantage,” a boy with light brown hair chimed in.
The chestnut-haired boy couldn’t help but ask, “Have you forgotten how her Mimimi defeated the Octo-Turtle at the Provincial Tournament?”
The boy who had initially said Zhang Xueming was unlucky fell silent.
The Octo-Turtle, a High-Class Beast Companion, had walked out of the battle arena under Mimimi’s Enchantment Skills. After that match, it was said the Octo-Turtle nearly went into a state of depression.
Yes, Zhang Xueming not only had the High-Class Beast Companion Ice Sea Lion but also Mimimi, whose Enchantment skills had reached a terrifying level…
…
On the field.
As the whistle blew, Mimimi struck a pose and gave Lulu a flirtatious glance.
At the same time, a special energy fluctuation formed a heart shape and was sent over.
Lulu, absorbing the flirtatious glance, wore a puzzled expression.
Then, she opened her mouth, and a water jet about forty centimeters in diameter shot mercilessly toward Mimimi.
Mimimi quickly dodged, and the water jet missed.
The importance of information… Qiao Sang felt pleased. Sending Lulu had been the right choice.
Female… Zhang Xueming’s expression remained calm, showing no signs of panic despite the Enchantment failing.
She watched as Glacialia prepared to jump into the water and issued an order: “Enchantment Chant.”
“Mimi~ Mimi~” Mimimi immediately began to sing.
Enchantment Chant, a Fairy-type mid-tier skill, could cause mental damage and had a high chance of putting the opponent to sleep. Except for familiars with the soundproof trait, this move was almost guaranteed to hit… As Mimimi started to sing, Qiao Sang also gave an order: “Healing Waves.”
Lulu, with half her body already in the water, poked her head out and confidently said, “Lulu~ Lulu~ Lu~ Lulu~ Lu~”
The two songs echoed above the familiar battle arena.
The enthusiastic expressions of some spectators in the front row gradually became calm:
“Glacialia, keep it up.”
“Both Glacialia and Mimimi sing pretty well.”
“I feel like Mimimi’s singing is a bit better.”
“Now that you mention it, it does sound that way…”
“I suddenly feel so sleepy…”
“Me too…”
On the field.
“Mimi…” Mimimi’s expression turned peaceful, and she couldn’t continue singing.
On the other side, Lulu also stopped singing, her head poking out of the water, her eyelids growing heavier.
“Healing Light,” Qiao Sang said calmly.
“Lu…”
Hearing her Beastmaster’s words, Lulu tried to fight off the drowsiness.
Just as her eyes were about to close, she forced them open, then closed them again uncontrollably, and opened them once more. As they slowly closed again, the gem on her forehead emitted a blue light, enveloping her.
Healing Light, which skill should I use to interrupt it? Zhang Xueming thought calmly.
Once a person is calm, their mind relaxes, and their thoughts slow down, just like Zhang Xueming's now.
The coaches and contestants in the Contestant Area started to chatter when they saw this.
"So, this is what Healing Light looks like when it's cast..."
"What's wrong with Zhang Xueming? She didn't interrupt Glacialia's Healing Light right away?"
"Didn't you see her expression? When have you ever seen her look so serene? She's clearly affected."
"Is the range of Healing Waves really that wide?"
"Glacialia must have a high proficiency in this skill."
By the time the blue light around Lulu dissipated and she dove into the water, Zhang Xueming finally seemed to wake up.
Her expression turned serious.
She hadn't expected Healing Waves to affect her like this...
"Finger Wave!" Zhang Xueming shouted.
Finger Wave is an upgradable skill that can randomly use any attribute skill of a familiar of the same rank.
It's both magical and unpredictable.
If her luck was bad, it could even teleport her out of the arena.
"Miiii..."
Mimimi's expression was calm as she slowly raised her short toe.
"Mimimi!" Zhang Xueming called out her familiar's name, seeing that Mimimi still seemed out of it.
"Mii?"
Hearing her Beastmaster's voice, Mimimi blinked, looking confused about what had just happened.
Just as she was regaining her senses, Lulu suddenly appeared behind her and swung her water-encased tail with great force.
"Miiiii!"
Mimimi was sent flying, rolling several times, and let out a painful cry.
Zhang Xueming's face tightened. She had to heal Mimimi quickly. She suddenly looked up at Qiao Sang and asked, "What's Glacialia's proficiency in Healing Waves?"
Why is she asking this now? Qiao Sang was taken aback as she met Zhang Xueming's gaze.
While Qiao Sang was momentarily distracted, Mimimi on the ground took the opportunity to channel her energy. A burst of multicolored light erupted from her body.
"Lu!"
At that moment, Lulu's front limb pushed her up, and she leaped into the air. Her left front limb quickly formed into a sharp ice claw, which she slashed down at Mimimi.
"Miiiii!"
The light around Mimimi dissipated, and she let out a shrill cry.
Well, I didn't expect to be distracted like this... Qiao Sang was startled. Honestly, out of ten opponents, maybe one would use verbal interference.
Especially in a large competition, with everyone watching, it was even rarer for someone to trash talk.
If the information she had gathered earlier hadn't mentioned this person's tendency for verbal interference, she wouldn't have been on guard.
Fortunately, Lulu's focus was entirely on Mimimi, or the healing wave might have really succeeded.
This match has taught me a lesson...
Qiao Sang looked at Zhang Xueming seriously.
"Healing Waves has already reached Mastery." Qiao Sang said suddenly.
What did she say?
Mastery?!
Zhang Xueming's eyes widened in shock. The sudden statement left her momentarily stunned, and her mind, which had been pondering the next move, suddenly went blank.
While she was dazed, Lulu's tail once again encased in water, swung fiercely at Mimimi.
"Miiiii!"
After being hit three times, Mimimi rolled several times and closed her eyes.
"Wow!"
The entire arena erupted in cheers.
Zhang Xueming came to her senses, took a deep breath, and said with a complicated expression, "Glacialia's Healing Waves really has reached Mastery?"
Qiao Sang smiled.
"How could that be? I was just joking."
