Chapter 480: Fangy vs. Red Urgent Dragon
Chapter 480: Fangy vs. Red Urgent Dragon
Under the moonlight, Fangy's fur danced wildly in the evening breeze.
"Roar."
Red Urgent Dragon, seeing its new opponent, immediately shed its casual attitude and showed a look of interest.
Seeing Blazing Star Hound hovering in the air, looking mighty and unscathed, Zhao Chuanyu instantly realized that Qiao Sang had sent out Icechill just to buy time!
Not only did he understand, but the audience in the stands also got it.
The spectators who had mocked Qiao Sang for fearing Red Urgent Dragon and surrendering now looked slightly stiff, while others were equally surprised, gawking at the formidable Blazing Star Hound.
Everyone had initially thought that Qiao Sang sent out Icechill to wear down Red Urgent Dragon's energy and stamina, but it turned out to be something else entirely!
Was their thinking too simple?
No, it was Qiao Sang's mind that was too meticulous!
The time between the first and second matches was incredibly short.
Zhao Chuanyu's Toxic Star had to endure damage and expend a lot of energy to set up Toxic Ground, something that had never been done before. Without any precedent, Qiao Sang couldn't have planned a countermeasure in advance.
This meant she had devised a strategy to counter Toxic Ground and turn the tide in less than a minute.
Having strong power wasn't enough; her quick thinking made a huge difference. The audience's attitude did a complete 720-degree turn.
"I was wrong, I'm sorry to Qiao Sang. I was actually criticizing her just now..."
"Anyone who says Qiao Sang's academic performance is poor, I'll be the first to call them out! If her mind can't get good grades, what does that make mine?"
"Amazing! I thought Red Urgent Dragon, combined with Toxic Ground, was a sure win, but this is such a pleasant surprise. Blazing Star Hound can stay in the air, and as long as it doesn't land, its combat strength might just win the match!" a spectator from the Yuhua Region exclaimed excitedly.
A spectator from the Hollow Plains countered, "Aren't you overthinking this? Even without Toxic Ground, Red Urgent Dragon's strength is still there. Besides, the toxins on the ground are still there."
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang, I love you!" a spectator from the Ancient Fog Region stood up, waving enthusiastically.
"Whistle!"
As the whistle signaled the start of the match, all the spectators focused their attention on the arena, falling silent.
"Dragon Dive!" Zhao Chuanyu issued the command immediately.
"Roar!"
Red Urgent Dragon flapped its wings forcefully, ascending to the sky. A brilliant light enveloped its body as it charged at Fangy's position with tremendous speed.
If anyone had been paying close attention, they would have noticed that this Dragon Dive was even faster and more powerful than the last one.
Qiao Sang's tone was calm:
"Take it down!"
Fangy let out an excited howl.
Fangy let out an excited howl, and moonlight-like radiance flickered around its body.
Just as Red Urgent Dragon was about to collide, Fangy vanished from its spot and reappeared higher in the sky.
It then opened its mouth, and a spinning flame shot out, aiming precisely at Red Urgent Dragon, which had paused mid-attack.
Red Urgent Dragon reacted quickly, though it couldn't dodge in time. It instinctively used its massive wings to shield itself.
The flame, strikingly visible in the night, clearly burned a red patch on Red Urgent Dragon's wing!
The stands erupted in excitement:
"Am I seeing things? Flame Vortex actually caused damage to Red Urgent Dragon!"
"Damn, I never noticed before, but now it seems Red Urgent Dragon's reaction speed is so much slower compared to Blazing Star Hound!"
"Wait, what is that glowing thing on Blazing Star Hound?"
"I have no idea!"
"Damn it, I want to protest! Why isn't there a commentator for the National Championship? Are we high school students not worthy of one?!"
"This... This feels a lot like Moonlight Power!" A girl from the Imperial Capital Beastmaster High School, recognizing the power, widened her eyes and stammered.
"What is Moonlight Power?" the boy beside her asked.
"It's a Trait of Fairy Companions. Under moonlight, their state is twice as strong as usual", the girl explained.
The boy snorted, clearly not believing her.
"At a time like this, you’re still joking. The Blazing Star Hound is a Fire-type and Psychic-type familiar. How could it have a Fairy Companion's Trait?"
The girl grew urgent. "I don't want to believe it either! But the Blazing Star Hound’s current state is definitely showing signs of Moonlight Power! Don't you remember, my mom has a Chichi Sprite, and it has Moonlight Power!"
Students at the Imperial Capital Beastmaster High School mostly came from well-off families and were part of the same social circle. They usually knew about the familiars their families' elders had.
As a student at the Imperial Capital Beastmaster High School, everyone hoped Zhao Chuanyu would win. The girl wouldn’t lie at such a critical moment.
The boy believed her, but he was also stunned.
His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the figure surrounded by shimmering light on the field, swallowing hard. "Zhao Chuanyu, he can’t lose..."
...
Moonlight Power?!
Zhao Chuanyu couldn’t control his expression, and his face showed clear shock and disbelief.
How could the Blazing Star Hound have Moonlight Power?!
Isn’t that a Fairy-type Trait?!
For a few seconds, he was frozen, but the battle in the air had already resumed.
The Red Urgent Dragon, after being hit, became even more excited.
"Roar!"
It lifted its head and let out a piercing cry.
The invisible sound wave instantly echoed through the battlefield.
The air vibrated, and the sound waves hit Fangy, causing it to pause.
The Red Urgent Dragon seized the opportunity, opening its mouth to release a wave of terrifying energy.
The audience immediately recognized this as a Dragon-type Advanced Skill—Dragon Pulse.
In mid-air, just as the Dragon Pulse was about to hit Fangy, it disappeared again.
"Bang!!"
The Dragon Pulse exploded in the air, sending a wave of heat and shockwaves that created a loud boom.
The Red Urgent Dragon looked wary, then suddenly sensed something and snapped its head up. There, above it, was its opponent!
"Claw!"
Fangy, looking excited, raised its claws, which were already engulfed in fierce flames, and struck down with all its might.
The Red Urgent Dragon’s defense was astonishing. Despite the close range and the Moonlight Power-boosted Flame Claw, it didn’t fall to the ground but instead retreated several meters in the air, its skin torn open.
At this moment, Zhao Chuanyu finally snapped out of his shock. He assessed the situation and quickly commanded:
"Heat Wave!"
"Roar!"
The Red Urgent Dragon flapped its wings, sending a wave of superheated air toward Fangy.
The heat wave distorted the air around Fangy, and the opportunity presented itself.
Zhao Chuanyu’s heart raced, and he shouted, "Dragon Meteor Shower!"
As a Fire Familiar, the heat wave wouldn’t harm the Blazing Star Hound much. Zhao Chuanyu’s plan was to use the heat wave to create a gap, giving the Red Urgent Dragon a chance to use its ultimate move!
Dragon Meteor Shower would rain down a barrage of meteors, making it one of the most powerful Advanced Skills. If it weren’t for the severe decrease in special attack power due to the backlash, it would likely be classified as an Advanced Skill.
Qiao Sang heard the command, remained calm, and responded, "Mars Rain!"
