Chapter 547: Treasure Seeker vs Vine King
Chapter 547: Treasure Seeker vs Vine King
The audience stands erupted in a cacophony of noise, and everyone in the arena lost their composure.
Frida lost? Just like that, defeated by a single Hypnosis?
And Qiao Sang’s familiar.
Familiars with two attributes are relatively common, but a Ghost-type and Psychic-type familiar is extremely rare, a true one-in-a-million find.
Even without any top-tier Artifacts or Spirit Patterns, the combination of these attributes alone makes it a formidable existence.
At the same time, everyone recalled Qiao Sang’s previous magnificent familiar.
Fire-type and Psychic-type, with both powerful offensive and control capabilities, not to mention its majestic appearance and the ability to serve as a flying mount—truly the dream familiar for most people.
What kind of background must someone have to bond with such familiars?
For a moment, apart from those who had bet 1:3 and were now wailing in despair, everyone else showed a great deal of interest in Qiao Sang.
"Who is this kid? Even nobles might not be able to obtain such familiars."
"She’s definitely not from our Third District. We don’t have such an outstanding child in our Third District."
"Let alone the Third District, with those two familiars, I doubt she’s even from our Supernest."
"Indeed, you can’t judge a familiar by its appearance. I initially thought her familiar was just an Intermediate Beast, but it managed to control all those fireballs, which really surprised me. And that Hypnosis— I still can’t figure out what level of Hypnosis could put an Emberfox to sleep so easily."
"Perfection or Mastery, probably."
"The key point should be that final Shadow Control, right?"
"Exactly, 3D Shadow Control. That’s at least Mastery level."
"Speaking of which, it’s funny to think that such high-level Skills were used to block ears."
Meanwhile, in the Commentator Booth, the Announcer exclaimed:
"It seems we vastly underestimated Qiao Sang’s strength. This unfamiliar familiar, whatever its name is, has honed its Psychic Power, Hypnosis, and Shadow Control to a very high proficiency."
"Indeed", Wang Xue Zhi said earnestly. "I’ve seen many Psychic-type High-Class Companion Beasts, and none of them had the Psychic Power to control so many fireballs."
"And that Hypnosis—Frida clearly didn’t equip her familiar with any Artifacts or Spirit Patterns for this Arena Battle. If her next familiar doesn’t have strong willpower, I’m afraid she might lose to Hypnosis again."
Hypnosis... Frida fell silent for a moment, her lips pressed together. She waved her hand and recalled the fallen Emberfox into her Beastmaster Codex.
At this moment, the arena announced the summoning of the third familiar.
The audience immediately fell silent.
Frida formed the hand seals, and a familiar with a predominantly green body, five Vine Whip-like fingers, and short, thick legs appeared on the field.
A Grass-Type Companion Beast... Qiao Sang glanced at the familiar and immediately made a judgment.
The Announcer’s voice rang out: "Frida’s third familiar is the Vine King. It’s unclear whether it can withstand the Hypnosis that put Emberfox to sleep instantly."
He hadn’t noticed that his initial confidence in Frida’s victory had waned to the point where he now doubted her ability to handle even a Hypnosis.
The match began with a countdown.
Three seconds later, Frida’s expression turned serious, and she called out loudly:
"Use Spike on the ground!"
"Vine, Vine!"
The Vine King extended its ten fingers toward the ground, and spikes shot out, deeply embedding themselves in the arena, leaving only half of them visible above the surface.
"What is Frida trying to do?" the Announcer asked, puzzled.
As he spoke, the Treasure Seeker vanished and reappeared in front of the Vine King, who was still casting Spike.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed with blue light.
"Vine..."
Vine King's eyes involuntarily wanted to close, and his body leaned forward.
Frida, seeing this, gave no commands.
She watched the scene with a serious expression, but inwardly she felt relieved.
Although she didn't know the Hypnosis proficiency of this Ghost-type Companion Beast, even the strongest Hypnosis would be broken by intense pain. That's why she had Vine King use spikes to pierce the ground from the start, so that when he fell, the spikes would pierce him and wake him up.
This Ghost-type familiar had Psychic-type attributes and could teleport, allowing it to approach and use Hypnosis at any time. The spikes had to be prepared immediately.
The Hypnosis came faster than she expected, but fortunately, the spikes were almost ready. As soon as Vine King fell, he would be pierced.
Once awake, it would be time to counterattack!
At this moment, the Announcer, who had commentated countless matches, saw through Frida's intentions.
He sighed, "No wonder she ranked 13th in last year's D-Class Beast Master Arena Championship. She had this planned from the start..."
The Announcer's voice suddenly stopped.
He stared at the field, his mouth forming an "O."
Vine King, just 0.01 centimeters from the ground, suddenly froze in a tilted position, his upper body suspended in mid-air, unable to fall any further!
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed with blue light, and she patted her chest, showing a "close call" expression.
Thankfully, she acted quickly, or her opponent wouldn't have been able to sleep properly.
Looking at Vine King, his eyes were closed, and saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, as if he were sound asleep!
Frida: "!!!"
This... The Announcer suddenly realized something and sincerely praised:
"This Ghost-type Companion Beast has quick reflexes! It promptly converted the Hypnosis into Psychic Power, preventing Vine King from being pierced by the spikes."
"Vine King! Wake up!" Frida shouted.
There was still a chance! If she could wake Vine King up! Now that this Psychic-type familiar was using Psychic Power, it couldn't use Shadow Control to block his ears like before!
In the audience stands, some of Frida's fans couldn't help but cheer for her.
Again... Qiao Sang said helplessly:
"Block it."
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, acknowledging the command.
The next second, Vine King's claws lifted involuntarily, forming Vine Whip-like fingers and plugging his own ears.
Frida: "!!!"
The audience: "..."
Ten seconds passed.
At the same time, the large holographic screen in the back displayed the final match result:
[Qiao Sang vs. Frida, 3:1]
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker raised her claws and signaled to the audience that they could cheer.
Qiao Sang chuckled, "Let's go."
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker quickly stopped gloating and teleported to her Beastmaster's side.
Qiao Sang walked down from the Command Platform.
Staff members hurried to catch up, "Miss Qiao Sang, aren't you going to continue?"
"No, I'm done", Qiao Sang said.
It was already very late, and it was Fangy's bedtime.
Seeing this, the audience momentarily forgot about the just-concluded match and began discussing why Qiao Sang had left.
"Why did she leave?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't she just win?"
"Maybe she feels she's already today's Champion and doesn't want to continue."
"Damn! Frida was too weak! I wanted to see Qiao Sang's third familiar."
As the crowd continued to discuss, a middle-aged man hurried over and blocked Qiao Sang's path:
"Miss Qiao Sang, I'm Jude, the manager here."
Qiao Sang was initially stunned, then her eyes lit up as she realized something. "Are you here to tell me how much I earned today?"
Jude: "..."
