Chapter 486: Is This the End?!
Chapter 486: Is This the End?!
Electric Field, a High-Grade Electric Skill, transforms the surrounding area into an Electric Field for a set period, causing lightning to sporadically strike the entire region while also amplifying the power of Electric Skills... Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat.
To use such an energy-draining move right from the start—looks like the opponent was aiming for a quick victory. During the duration of the Electric Field, the Treasure Seeker wouldn't be able to use Invisibility to get close.
"Seek!"
The Treasure Seeker appeared in an area not yet struck by lightning, patting its chest with its claws, looking utterly terrified.
That was scary! Almost got zapped!
The moment the Treasure Seeker appeared, Pare Lulu's sharp gaze immediately locked onto it.
In the next second, Pare Lulu darted forward like a bolt of yellow lightning.
Pare Lulu's speed was incredible, reaching the Treasure Seeker in the blink of an eye.
The Treasure Seeker was startled again, hastily using teleportation to dodge the direct hit.
However, before teleporting, the electric arcs from Pare Lulu still managed to touch the Treasure Seeker, causing it to feel a sudden numbness.
When the Treasure Seeker reappeared, its stiff body and the faint electric arcs flashing on its skin caught Tang Yi's eye.
A perfect opportunity! Tang Yi quickly commanded:
"Ten Thousand Volts!"
"Papa!"
Pare Lulu cried out, the electric arcs around its body suddenly spreading and condensing into a yellow bolt of lightning that shot toward the Treasure Seeker.
"Seek!"
The Treasure Seeker's eyes widened as the lightning streaked toward it.
Just when everyone thought the Ghost Ring Specter would be hit, the Treasure Seeker's form dissolved into nothingness.
Substitute... Tang Yi looked up, spotting the Ghost Ring Specter reappearing in another direction.
The brief exchange drew loud cheers from the audience stands.
However, most of the cheering came from the Hollow Plains spectators.
"Great job! I knew Tang Yi could do it!"
"Pare Lulu has the Static Trait; it doesn't need to directly touch the Ghost Ring Specter. Just getting close enough can paralyze it."
"This match is in the bag! Despite the Ghost Ring Specter's strength, its defense is too low. Once Pare Lulu gets a chance to attack, the Ghost Ring Specter will surely lose!"
"True to form, the champion from the previous tournament. Qiao Sang usually controls the match tempo, but this time, the pace is clearly in Tang Yi's hands!"
"Did you forget how Tang Yi lost in the previous match?"
"Can't help it; Spiky Thorns is only an Intermediate Beast Companion."
The previously quiet Hollow Plains spectators suddenly became more vocal, each one eager to voice their thoughts.
Pare Lulu's Static Trait could paralyze the opponent even without direct contact, as long as it got close enough... The Electric Field enhanced Pare Lulu's speed and attack power, making it difficult for the Treasure Seeker to appear within its range. If this continued, the Treasure Seeker would likely be hit soon... Qiao Sang's mind raced, trying to come up with a way to control Pare Lulu.
Before she could think of a solid plan, Pare Lulu launched a new attack.
"Papa!"
Pare Lulu let out a high-pitched cry, and bolts of lightning like writhing snakes flashed, striking the areas not covered by the lightning field.
Victory must be seized in the midst of danger; she had to take the initiative! In an instant, Qiao Sang made her decision.
She couldn't afford to drag this out any longer!
"Get closer to it!" Qiao Sang shouted.
All along, she had been too afraid of the Treasure Seeker being attacked, but the Treasure Seeker was now a High-Class Beast Companion. As long as it wasn't hit directly by a powerful move, it wouldn't lose its fighting ability so easily!
"Seek!"
Hearing its Beastmaster's command, the Treasure Seeker understood immediately. It looked at the distant opponent and the electric arcs crackling around it, gritted its teeth, and vanished from its spot.
Just as Pare Lulu was about to release another thunderbolt outside the Electric Field, it suddenly sensed danger and looked up sharply.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Several shadows, dark as black silk, fiercely entangled it.
"Papa!"
Pare Lulu's wings and body were instantly bound tightly together.
"Xunxun!"
An electric arc appeared out of nowhere, striking the Treasure Seeker who was using Shadow Control.
The Treasure Seeker, already struggling to pull the massive Pare Lulu with its 3D Mode shadows, lost its grip and plummeted along with Pare Lulu.
The Ghost Ring Specter had actually teleported within the Electric Field... Tang Yi's heart sank.
But the next moment, seeing the Ghost Ring Specter struck by lightning, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However... to still be using Shadow Control after being hit by lightning... Tang Yi's expression turned to one of astonishment, filled with surprise.
Ghost-type Companion Beasts were known for their mysterious and unpredictable nature, but their fragility was equally well-known. A single lightning strike would typically destabilize their energy, causing any active skills to dissipate.
"Ten Thousand Volts!" Despite his shock, Tang Yi didn't forget to issue the command.
"Papa!"
Though Pare Lulu's body was bound, it could still channel energy. A fierce bolt of lightning shot out from its body, aiming at the falling Treasure Seeker!
Just as the lightning bolt was about to strike, the Treasure Seeker vanished.
At the same time, the shadows binding Pare Lulu disappeared as well.
Pare Lulu seized the opportunity to flap its wings and stabilize its form.
But just as it regained its balance, the Treasure Seeker reappeared with a blue glow in its eyes, only ten centimeters away.
Although he didn't know Pare Lulu's Static Trait Level, based on its previous matches, anything beyond ten centimeters was a safe distance... Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief as she observed the distance between the Treasure Seeker and Pare Lulu.
She had discussed the safe distance from Pare Lulu before the match, and the Treasure Seeker had always remembered it, maintaining the distance perfectly.
With Mastery-Level Hypnosis, Pare Lulu shouldn't be able to hold on...
"Papa..."
Pare Lulu slowly closed its eyes.
At the same moment, the Electric Field disappeared, returning to calm.
Seeing this, all the spectators in Hollow Plains held their breath, while the audience from Yuhua Region became visibly agitated, clenching their fists tightly.
The viewers from other regions also watched with bright, focused eyes.
Though their expressions varied, at that moment, they were all uniformly silent, their thoughts remarkably aligned: Is this the end?!
"Idiot!" In the Contestant Area, a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his fifties, had a very grim expression.
If Tang Yi had chosen to evolve Pare Lulu, how could he possibly lose to Qiao Sang!
"Pare Lulu! Wake up!" On the field, Tang Yi shouted desperately, refusing to give up.
It was all his fault, his reaction was too slow, his awareness not comprehensive enough, and he had become a liability!
Pare Lulu had worked so hard!
It was all his fault!
"Pare Lulu, wake up." His Beastmaster's voice faintly reached Pare Lulu's ears.
"Papa."
Pare Lulu's mind was hazy, and it wanted to open its eyes to continue the match, but its eyelids wouldn't budge.
Fragments of memories flashed before its eyes.
"Ha ha ha, your cry can't be 'Papa.' It's not intimidating enough during a match. From now on, you'll be called Pare Lulu. Pare Lulu, don't be afraid."
"Pare Lulu, you're so amazing!"
"Champion! We're champions!"
"Pare Lulu, I want to get stronger, to grow faster. Let's go to the Hidden Realm!"
"Matches are nothing. Just rest well, don't always think about training. We can always train again when you're better."
"I know, but I won't risk Pare Lulu's future again."
"Pare Lulu! Wake up!" His Beastmaster's voice rang out again, louder than ever.
"Papa."
Pare Lulu's heartbeat quickened, and a mysterious strength surged within it, suddenly bringing it to full awareness.
In the next second, it opened its eyes.
At that moment, a brilliant light enveloped its body.
