Chapter 573: I Have a Question
Chapter 573: I Have a Question
"Fangy"
Looking down at the unconscious opponent, Fangy wore an awkward expression.
It hadn't expected that even with its Strength dialed back, the opponent would still faint.
They had clearly agreed that the final blow would be left to the fourth one...
The audience stands erupted in loud cheers at the scene on the field.
The spectators who had initially doubted Qiao Sang's decision to send out Steel Sparrow now wore expressions of admiration.
"I told you Qiao Sang wouldn't send out a Junior Companion Beast in the finals. Her Blazing Star Hound can easily take on two opponents!"
"Did you notice how proficient Qiao Sang's familiar seems to be? Just those Clone and Flame Fang skills—this level of proficiency is something I've never seen in high school."
"Really, I feel a bit sorry for Ladko. I've seen his team battles, and Punch Hook Baboon is far from this level. Now, it couldn't even use a single skill before losing; it's really quite pitiful."
"I don't think Steel Sparrow was even necessary. Just look at that Blazing Star Hound standing in front of Steel Sparrow like an impenetrable wall. Poponelle and Punch Hook Baboon couldn't even touch it."
"Actually, Steel Sparrow did have some use, but its level is too low, so its impact was limited. If it hadn't attacked Punch Hook Baboon at the right moment when Blazing Star Hound used Flame Vortex, Punch Hook Baboon might have escaped safely."
"True, and if Punch Hook Baboon had escaped, it could have attacked Steel Sparrow. It might not have lost so quickly."
"I think the main issue is the significant gap in skill levels. Most familiars have their abdomens as weak points. If Punch Hook Baboon had a stronger combat awareness, it would have known to use its leg strength in addition to Sonic Punch, since its legs weren't restrained."
"There's no time to think about that during a match, and Blazing Star Hound's attacks are so fast."
At this moment, someone suddenly said:
"I have a question."
"What?" the person beside them asked curiously.
"Since it was Punch Hook Baboon that was defeated, why does Qiao Sang look like Punch Hook Baboon is hers?"
...
On the field, Qiao Sang looked at the fallen Punch Hook Baboon with great distress.
Points!
She had finally managed to secure a match, and now she had lost those points!
No way! Fangy's attack skills are too powerful. One misstep and it could easily defeat the opponent. While Poponelle is a High-Class Beast Companion, Fairy Companion Beasts generally have low defense, and using overly powerful attack skills is out of the question... Without Punch Hook Baboon's points, she can't afford to miss out on Poponelle's points... With this in mind, Qiao Sang's expression became unusually serious, and she decided to take full control of the next moves, no longer allowing Fangy to act freely!
"Flame Claw!" Qiao Sang shouted loudly.
Fangy's skills are mostly highly proficient, but not all of them. Flame Claw is one of the lower ones.
"Ya!"
Fangy released Steel Treasure from its mouth, then teleported in front of Poponelle, raising its claws. Flames instantly condensed on its claws.
With a flash of flame, Flame Claw was right in front of Poponelle.
Poponelle, being a High-Class Beast Companion, reacted swiftly. It arched its body backward, flipping its hands to the ground and narrowly avoiding the attack.
Then, Poponelle performed a series of backflips, putting some distance between itself and Fangy.
This Poponelle can't have Fighting Attributes, can it? Its body is so agile... Seeing that the attack had failed, Qiao Sang quickly changed his strategy and shouted:
"Clone!"
Fangy glanced at the Poponelle about ten meters away, and then dozens of identical Blazing Star Hounds appeared on the ground and in the air, surging from all directions.
Poponelle performed a series of backflips, twisting its waist left and right, then rolling and leaping, showcasing remarkable flexibility to evade the attacks from the clones.
At that moment, several Air Blades came from behind.
Although Poponelle didn't turn around, it still sensed the danger keenly.
Almost simultaneously, its Beastmaster's voice rang in its ears: "Jump onto the Blazing Star Hounds!"
"Popo!"
Poponelle leaped up, its powerful jumping ability allowing it to skip over two nearby Blazing Star Hounds and land on one about ten meters away.
With a "thud", the Air Blades struck the Blazing Star Hound at the front, causing it to disappear. The energy of the blades dissipated, and they vanished as well.
Poponelle, relying on its agile speed and flexible movements, continued to move by stepping on one Blazing Star Hound after another.
The audience was thoroughly entertained, finding the back-and-forth match much more engaging.
A quick and decisive battle wasn't what they wanted to see.
Just as the audience expressed their satisfaction, a Blazing Star Hound from the sky bared its teeth and charged straight at Poponelle.
Poponelle leaped, intending to step on the head of the Blazing Star Hound in front of it. However, its body suddenly froze mid-air, unable to move.
Looking at the Blazing Star Hound, its eyes had turned blue.
It's the original! Ladko's expression changed dramatically. Just as he was about to issue a command, he opened his mouth but couldn't even utter the first word. On the field, the real Blazing Star Hound, with its blue eyes still glowing from using Psychic Power, raised its claws, condensed flames, and slashed down.
"Popo!"
Poponelle let out a blood-curdling cry and fell to the ground.
Ladko forgot to give commands, his mouth slowly opening, his expression dazed, and his mind buzzing with various thoughts:
What's going on? Using Clone, Psychic Power, and Flame Claw simultaneously? Executing three skills at once? How high must the proficiency be to achieve this? Could Qiao Sang be a Professional Beastmaster using some familiar skills to shrink down and experience high school life? How could a high school student pull off such an outrageous move?
...
In the audience stands, there was a buzz of excitement.
Everyone knew what it meant for a familiar to use three skills simultaneously.
This was far beyond the realm of high school students.
"Oh, my goodness! My teacher could only make his familiar use two skills at once!"
"There is a difference. Your teacher probably used a Fusion Skill, while Qiao Sang's Blazing Star Hound used them simultaneously but didn't fuse them."
"What level of proficiency and energy control must it have to do this? It seems like the Blazing Star Hound's Flame Claw isn't very proficient."
"There's a possibility", one of the school's teachers explained. "This Blazing Star Hound has ample internal energy, and its proficiency in Clone and Psychic Power is at least at the Perfection level. With absolute precise control over energy, the original might still have the strength to use a less proficient skill. After all, the Blazing Star Hound didn't fuse the skills, which makes it less complex."
