Chapter 420: Qiao Sang vs. Bai Binbin
Chapter 420: Qiao Sang vs. Bai Binbin
The murmurs began to rise.
"What's this familiar called? It looks pretty good."
"I know, I know! It's been trending. It's called a Blazing Star Hound, and Mars Rain's proficiency is supposedly at Mastery level."
"It's not just supposedly; it's really at Mastery level. I've seen the original video. It's terrifying, it just obliterated the opponent."
"I've seen it too. Seriously, it's even more handsome in person than in the video."
"What? You're saying this familiar can use Mastery-level Mars Rain?!"
"Is that true? Mastery-level Mars Rain? You're saying a high school student's familiar has reached that level?!"
"Don't think of Qiao Sang as a normal high school student."
"No, even if he's not a normal high school student, it shouldn't be possible for a familiar to learn Mastery-level Mars Rain in such a short time!"
"Then don't think of Qiao Sang as a normal person."
"…That makes sense."
…
Contestant Area.
"Over the past few days, I've seen Qiao Sang carrying the Blazing Star Hound, but this is the first time I've seen it in its normal form…"
"I heard that the Blazing Star Hound's Mars Rain is already at Mastery level. With that move, why even bother fighting?"
"Even without Mars Rain, it's still unbeatable. The Blazing Star Hound is a fire-type and psychic beast, capable of both powerful attacks and quick movements."
"Discussing this is pointless. Qiao Sang's team is clearly going to win with him."
Bai Binbin and Zhang Xueming have already fought, and Bai Binbin lost. Based on the points, unless Bai Binbin can win both matches against Qiao Sang, there's no chance of direct advancement.
Yuhua Region Contestant Seats.
Sun Boyi set up a camera, aiming it at the arena, looking every bit the professional.
Xu Yixuan looked at Sun Boyi in surprise.
"Teacher Sun, what are you doing?"
Sun Boyi chuckled, "The principal asked me to record whenever Qiao Sang sends out the Blazing Star Hound. He wants to use it as a promotional video on the school's official website."
Xu Yixuan: "…"
…
On the field, Qiao Sang was unsurprised to see Bai Binbin summon a Super Venomous Scorpion.
Bai Binbin had two familiars: a High-Class Beast Companion, the Super Venomous Scorpion, and an Intermediate Beast, the Scythe Meerkat.
His Scythe Meerkat had the Poison Boost trait, which increased its attack power when poisoned.
And his Super Venomous Scorpion was a familiar with poison attributes.
From previous video footage, it was clear that he would start by using the Super Venomous Scorpion to turn the arena into a toxic field, enhancing the Scythe Meerkat's attack power when it entered.
"Fangy!"
Fangy's eyes glinted as it stared at its opponent.
Has it started yet?
Why hasn't it started yet?
When will it start? It can't wait any longer!
"Super Venomous…"
The Super Venomous Scorpion felt its scalp tingle under Fangy's intense gaze, its tail tensing up.
This was the first time it had been stared at like this…
At that moment, the mechanical voice announcing the start of the match rang out.
"Toxin Bombardment!" Bai Binbin immediately commanded.
The Super Venomous Scorpion opened its large mouth, and streams of purple venom shot out like a machine gun, aiming for Fangy's position.
Whoosh!
Fangy teleported to the sky.
"Hisss~"
The venom splashed on the ground, quickly turning the impacted areas black.
Qiao Sang's expression turned serious. The reason Toxin Bombardment is classified as an Advanced Skill is not only due to its strong toxicity and corrosiveness but also its persistence.
Any area hit by Toxin Bombardment remains toxic, and touching it will still cause poisoning.
Fangy, on the other hand, looked excited.
It teleported to the sky and instinctively began to channel its energy, ready to use Mars Rain.
But it quickly remembered how the match ended when it used Mars Rain before and immediately switched to Flame Vortex.
Although Flame Vortex is a Mid-Rank Skill, it depends on who is using it.
The flame burst momentarily turned the holographic blue background of the arena red.
The spinning flames rushed toward the Super Venomous Scorpion.
"Bang!!!"
The Super Venomous Scorpion dodged at lightning speed, the flames striking the ground with a thunderous sound, sending rocks flying.
Before the Super Venomous Scorpion could make its next move, it felt something casting a shadow over it.
It lifted its head.
At the same moment, it heard its Beastmaster's voice:
"Quick, get out of the way!"
Then it saw a terrifying, flaming head with fangs bared, condensed from flames.
Super Venomous Scorpion: "!!!"
"Boom!"
Fangy unleashed a Flame Fang, biting down on the Super Venomous Scorpion.
"Super Venom!!!"
The Super Venomous Scorpion let out a blood-curdling scream.<|im_end|>
A violent surge of air and flames blinded the spectators.
"Damn! Teleport! This Blazing Star Hound also has Psychic-type Skills!"
"This Flame Fang is at Mastery level too! The power is terrifying!"
"Who can tell me why Qiao Sang, at this age, can raise such a high-level familiar!"
"Icechill wasn't enough, and now she has a Blazing Star Hound..."
The crowd wasn't envious, but rather bewildered.
A Fire-type High-Class Beast Companion was one thing, but a Fire-type and Psychic-type combination raised the stakes considerably. Add to that the fact that this familiar's talents were so extreme, with two Skills reaching Mastery level, and it was simply beyond reason that a 15-year-old high school student could raise such a familiar.
Compared to the shock in the audience stands, Bai Binbin's expression was less than pleasant.
The Blazing Star Hound's fierce attack was something he hadn't anticipated.
It was like having an opponent you knew inside and out, yet you still had no way to counter them.
Qiao Sang was just such an opponent.
Bai Binbin had researched the Blazing Star Hound. Familiars with the Flame Fang Skill generally dared not bite the Super Venomous Scorpion because it had the Venomous Sting Trait, which could cause the attacker to be poisoned upon contact.
However, the Blazing Star Hound had no such concerns. Its Flame Fang proficiency was so high that it didn't need to use its own fangs to make contact.
Without contact, there was no risk of poisoning.
Still, he blamed himself for reacting too slowly. The Blazing Star Hound had teleported over and opened its mouth before he could issue a command.
Bai Binbin felt a pang of self-reproach.
"Super Venom..."
The Super Venomous Scorpion struggled to stand.
It was, after all, a High-Class Beast Companion and hadn't been knocked out in one hit.
The moment the Super Venomous Scorpion stood up, Qiao Sang spoke:
"Hellfire."
Fangy was now in the position where the Super Venomous Scorpion had been, a spot not yet eroded by venom, allowing it to move freely on the ground.
"Go!"
Fangy's left front paw slammed into the ground, causing the earth to crack, and terrifying flames erupted from the ground.
The Super Venomous Scorpion wobbled, unable to move in time.
In the next second, Fangy, having just finished casting Hellfire, teleported above it.
"Grab it!"
This time, Bai Binbin was prepared, and he shouted loudly!
The Super Venomous Scorpion, hearing its Beastmaster's command, raised its double-arm pincers and clamped down on Fangy tightly.
Bai Binbin's face lit up with joy.
The Blazing Star Hound wasn't like Icechill; it had no healing Skills. As long as it was held down, using the sharp tip of its tail to pierce it would eventually finish it off!
Fangy, however, seemed to feel no pain, its expression suddenly turning excited.
"Go!!"
A good opponent, it liked this!
Its mouth opened, and a flame head twice as large as before instantly condensed, and it bit down with force.
The Super Venomous Scorpion had just raised its tail, but before it could strike, it felt pain and released its pincers.
At that moment, the flames from the ground erupted, reaching the Super Venomous Scorpion's position.
The flames exploded, the heat almost reaching the edge of the arena.
The fiery shadows danced, and in the burning flames, the Super Venomous Scorpion slowly fell to the ground.
Fangy had already teleported to a height of several meters in the air.
