Chapter 428: Chapter 405 How is that possible, deceiving you

The proficiency of Mimi Spirit’s charm skill was an unknown, so to prevent the possibility of being charmed, sending out Lubao of the same gender was the optimal choice.

Qiao Sang’s gaze fell upon Mimi Spirit.

This was her first time battling a Pet Beast from the Fairy Series...

The players’ area.

Lian Ke Area players’ corner.

"Zhang Xueming is a bit unlucky, being grouped with Qiao Sang," said a male student with thick eyebrows and a square face.

Battling a super-popular player, not to mention the outcome, just the process of the match alone involves significant psychological pressure.

"You don’t understand Zhang Xueming yet, her mentality is as stable as they come, she doesn’t care about any endangered Pet Beast," another male student with a chestnut-colored haircut said.

"Zhang Xueming is just unlucky, at this stage of the game it’s clear that High-Level Pet Beasts are key; Qiao Sang’s High-Level Pet Beast is the Liaoxing Dog, with both Fire Element and Psychic Series abilities. Zhang Xueming’s Ice Sea Lion is Ice-Type, Fire counters Ice, and then there’s the other’s Psychic Series—no advantage at all," offered another boy with slightly brown hair.

The chestnut-haired boy couldn’t help but ask:

"Have you all forgotten how her Mimi Spirit defeated the Octopus Sea Turtle during the provincial competition?"

The person who had initially called Zhang Xueming unlucky was suddenly silent.

The Octopus Sea Turtle, a High-Level Pet Beast, had willingly exited the Pet Beast Battle Field under the spell of Mimi Spirit’s charm skill.

After that battle, it was said the Octopus Sea Turtle almost became reclusive.

Indeed, Zhang Xueming had not only the High-Level Pet Beast, the Ice Sea Lion, but also the Mimi Spirit with a charm that had reached a terrifying level...

...

On the field.

With the sound of the whistle, Mimi Spirit took the lead in striking a pose, casting a flirtatious glance at Lubao.

At the same time, a wave of special energy formed into a heart shape and shot toward Lubao.

Lubao received the flirtatious glance, showing a bewildered expression.

Then it opened its mouth, and a water gun about forty centimeters in diameter mercilessly targeted Mimi Spirit.

Mimi Spirit quickly dodged, and the water gun shot missed its mark.

On the importance of intelligence... Qiao Sang was pleased, sending out Lubao was indeed the correct move.

A female, huh... Zhang Xueming’s expression remained calm, not at all flustered by the failure of the charm.

She looked at the Binglu Qia that was preparing to jump into a puddle and commanded, "Healing Sound Wave."

"Mimi~Mimi~Mimi~" Mimi Spirit immediately began singing.

Healing Sound Wave, a mid-level skill of the Fairy Series that can cause mental damage with a chance to put the opponent to sleep. Aside from Pet Beasts with soundproofing properties, this move was nearly guaranteed to hit... But as Mimi Spirit began to sing, Qiao Sang also gave her command, "Healing Light."

Lubao, half-submerged in the puddle, poked out its head and confidently started singing:

"Lubao~Lubao~Lubao~Lubao~"

The two varying songs echoed above the Pet Beast Battle Field.

The expressions of some of the front-row spectators, which were originally fervent, gradually became serene:

"Go Binglu Qia."

"Binglu Qia and Mimi Spirit both sing quite nicely."

"Why do I feel like Mimi Spirit seems to sound a bit nicer."

"If you listen carefully, it seems indeed to be the case..."

"Why do I suddenly feel so sleepy..."

"Me too..."

On the field.

"Mimi..." Mimi Spirit showed a serene expression and could sing no more.

On the other side, Lubao stopped its song as well, its head sticking out of the puddle, its eyelids becoming heavier.

"Healing Light," Qiao Sang said calmly.

"Lubao..."

Upon hearing its Beast Tamer’s words, Lubao fought against the feeling of drowsiness.

Its eyes almost closed, then snapped open, out of control they closed again, then snapped open, and as they slowly closed once more, the gemstone on Lubao’s forehead emitted a blue light that enveloped it.

Healing Light, it needs to be interrupted, but what skill to use... Zhang Xueming pondered tranquilly.

When one becomes tranquil, the mind is no longer tense, and the brain relaxes, which slows down the thought process, as was now the case with Zhang Xueming.

The coaches and players in the players’ area watched the scene unfold, buzzing with discussion.

"So this is what Healing Light looks like when cast..."

"What’s going on with Zhang Xueming? Why didn’t she interrupt Binglu Qia’s Healing Light immediately?"

"Didn’t you see her expression? When have you ever seen her look so indifferent? She’s obviously been influenced."

"Is the range of Healing Sound Wave’s influence really that wide?"

"I guess Binglu Qia’s proficiency with that move is quite high."

By the time the blue light disappeared from Lubao and it dived into the pool, vanishing from sight, Zhang Xueming came to her senses as if awakening from a dream.

Her face immediately became serious.

She hadn’t expected the Healing Sound Wave to affect her...

"Wave!" Zhang Xueming shouted.

Wave, an upgradeable skill, could randomly produce any attribute’s skill from the same rank Pet Beasts.

It was both magical and dependent on luck.

If you’re unlucky, it’s not impossible to use Instantaneous Movement and accidentally transport yourself out of the arena.

"Mmm..."

The Mmm Pet Beast looked tranquil, slowly raising its short toe.

"Heartthrob!" Zhang Xueming, seeing that her Pet Beast seemed to still be out of it, couldn’t help but yell its name loudly.

"Mmm?"

Upon hearing her Beast Tamer’s voice, the Mmm Pet Beast blinked, wearing a confused expression that read "What just happened to me?"

But just as it started to come around, Lubao burst out from behind it, its tail wrapped in water and viciously swinging down.

"Mmm!!!"

The Mmm Pet Beast was sent flying, tumbling a few times and screaming in pain.

We have to heal quickly... Zhang Xueming’s face was tense as she suddenly looked up at Qiao Sang and asked, "What’s Binglu Qia’s proficiency with Healing Sound Wave?"

Why is she asking this all of a sudden...? Qiao Sang looked at her, surprised.

In the moment Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted to Zhang Xueming, the Mmm Pet Beast on the ground took the opportunity to channel energy, and a beam filled with colorful lights surged out from within it instantly.

"Lubao!"

At that moment, Lubao pushed off with its forelimbs, leaping up.

Simultaneously, its left forelimb quickly formed into a sharp, ice-shaped claw and ruthlessly slashed down at the Mmm Pet Beast.

"Mmm!!!"

The light on the Mmm Pet Beast vanished, and it let out a piercing cry.

Well, I never thought I’d be the one distracted... Qiao Sang came to her senses, startled.

To be honest, among ten opponents, you might not find even one who uses verbal disruption.

Especially in large-scale competitions, under the public eye, there are even fewer people who "trash talk."

If the information she had gathered earlier didn’t include that the person liked to use "verbal disruption," she wouldn’t have been specially on guard for it.

Fortunately, Lubao’s attention was fully on the Mmm Pet Beast; otherwise, the healing fluctuations from the Mmm Pet Beast might have actually been successfully cast.

She had to admit, this match had been a lesson for her...

Qiao Sang looked at Zhang Xueming with a serious expression.

"Healing Sound Wave is already at the Mystique level," Qiao Sang suddenly said.

What did she say?

Mystique?!

Zhang Xueming’s eyes widened in astonishment, caught off guard by the sudden statement, and she stood frozen, momentarily short-circuiting while she was still contemplating her next move.

While she was still in a daze, Lubao’s tail, once again wrapped in water, viciously lashed out at the Mmm Pet Beast.

"Mmm!"

After being hit for the third time, the Mmm Pet Beast rolled a few times and then closed its eyes.

"Wow!"

The crowd erupted in excitement.

Zhang Xueming came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and with a complex expression, she said, "Is Binglu Qia’s Healing Light really at the Mystique level?"

Qiao Sang smiled and said,

"How could that be? I was just kidding."
