Chapter 480: Chapter 447: Rogue Boar

"Xun~"

As expected, a Treasure-seeking Demon... Wu Hengxu wasn’t surprised to see the Pet Beast in the distance.

Qiao Sang, 15 years old, had two High Level Pet Beasts and one mid-level Pet Beast and had reached the national competition with a record of complete victories from the preliminary rounds. Against opponents who had only two mid-level Pet Beasts in the regional competition, it was almost always the Treasure-seeking Demon who secured the win with a two-versus-one strategy.

The moment Wu Hengxu learned that his opponent was Qiao Sang, he couldn’t help swearing in his mind, "Fuck," such bad luck.

Without a High Level Pet Beast himself, he had never expected to get very far in the national competition, let alone encounter a player akin to a final boss in the very first round.

This was some seriously shitty luck...

Compared to his own Beast Tamer’s unstable state of mind, the rogue Liaozhu pig, gripping a black flower in its mouth, eyed its opponent with a hooked corner of its mouth, showing an eager expression.

The rogue Liaozhu pig, a mid-level Pet Beast with dual attributes of Ground Type and Evil Attribute, was impulsive by nature and notoriously fond of fighting and causing trouble. It had been carrying a black flower in its mouth since birth, feeling insecure without it... Qiao Sang looked at the swine Pet Beast in front of him, with many black stripes on its body, three sharp claws on each limb, and a black flower gripped in its mouth, calling to mind its information.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao fixed its eyes on the flower in its opponent’s mouth and showed an interested expression.

"Er Er..."

The rogue Liaozhu pig noticed Xiao Xunbao’s gaze and instantly became vigilant.

"Qu!"

At that moment, a Mechanical Beast wearing a referee’s badge blew the whistle that signaled the start of the match.

Xiao Xunbao vanished from its spot instantly.

"Who do you guys think will win this round?" In the spectator seats, a group of students wearing dark blue school uniforms discussed amongst themselves, positioned under a banner that read "Wu Hengxu, you’re the best! Wu Hengxu, you’re the strongest!"

A girl who had just checked Xiao Xunbao’s information with a Pet Beast Identifier said, "It should be Wu Hengxu, right? I just checked, the opponent’s Pet Beast is a Treasure-seeking Demon, it’s a Spectral-type."

It was common knowledge that the Evil Attribute had the advantage over Spectral-type, as Evil Attribute Pet Beasts were usually cruel and cunning, capable of breaking free from the Spectral Bind ability of Spectral-type Pet Beasts. Some Evil Attribute skills, such as Malicious Pursuit, Chaotic Strike, and other abilities, could effectively counter Spectral-type Pet Beasts.

"But didn’t you see the Star Array of the one named Qiao Sang earlier? It’s green! Three entire Pet Beasts! I heard she came first in the regional competition held in the Ancient Mist Region," a short-haired girl said worriedly.

"Is that the one whose Liaoxing Dog’s Mars Rain achieved Mystique level?" a bespectacled boy asked.

"That’s right," the short-haired girl nodded.

The classmate holding the banner listened to the conversation and silently lowered the banner.

"But now she’s sent out her Treasure-seeking Demon, even if the final result is a loss, at least she could win this round, right?" the girl who had checked Xiao Xunbao’s information with the Pet Beast Identifier said.

The student holding the banner immediately raised it high again.

"But Qiao Sang’s Treasure-seeking Demon also possesses Psychic attributes, not to mention it can use Shadow Control, and it has even mastered three-dimensional mode," the short-haired girl added.

The student holding the banner once again silently lowered it.

"We can’t boost others’ morale and undermine our own fighting spirit! Even if others think Wu Hengxu will lose, we can’t think that way!" the girl with the Pet Beast Identifier said earnestly.

The short-haired girl fell silent.

The student with the banner was reinvigorated and hoisted it over his head.

"Qu!"

At that moment, the whistle that signaled the end of the match sounded.

Immediately after, the announcer’s voice reached everyone’s ears: "First match, the Yuhua Region, Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang wins!"

The students in dark blue school uniforms: "!!!"

...

One minute earlier.

On the field, the vanishing figure of Xiao Xunbao reappeared, the next second its eyes glowing purple before the rogue Liaozhu pig.

Even though Wu Hengxu had no hope for himself, as the sole representative of his school in the national competition, the coach had gone over all possible information and countermeasures for every opponent.

Knowing his opponent would be Qiao Sang, he had skipped watching the matches in the previous few hours, instead strategizing with his coach for this one.

Losing was one thing, but this was being broadcast live across the nation, and he absolutely couldn’t lose without any dignity. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be him losing face, but their entire school!

"Shadow Clone!"

Just as Xiao Xunbao vanished, Wu Hengxu swiftly issued a command.

When Xiao Xunbao appeared before the thug-like Boar, five identical copies of the boar appeared beside it.

The thug-like Boar that locked eyes with Xiao Xunbao’s purple ones showed not the slightest reaction.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes stopped shining purple and disappeared once again.

At the same time, a black tooth formed from evil energy appeared in front of the mouths of the six thug-like Boars and viciously bit towards where Xiao Xunbao was before it vanished.

Bite, an intermediate evil attribute skill, attacks with teeth formed from evil energy, with a certain probability of causing the opponent to flinch, and it is extremely harmful to spectral-type Pet Beasts.

If Xiao Xunbao couldn’t teleport, given this thug-like Boar’s reaction speed, the chances of it being bitten would be as high as 70%... Qiao Sang watched the situation unfold, analyzing it coolly.

Her gaze swept over the six identical thug-like Boars and suddenly fixed on a dark flower held in the mouth of one of them.

A piece of information flashed quickly through Qiao Sang’s mind: Thug-like Boars hold dark flowers dear to their life, and they would fight desperately with anyone who covets it, even their own Beast Tamer.

Upon this realization, Qiao Sang immediately said:

"Burn its flower!"

"Xun!"

The unseen Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, and suddenly, three cold, ghostly green flames appeared out of nowhere and randomly struck towards the flowers in the mouths of three thug-like Boars.

The second thug-like Boar from the left instantly turned vicious upon seeing this.

Wu Hengxu, as the Beast Tamer of the thug-like Boar, naturally sensed which one was the real body.

He clearly knew that none of these ghostly flames had targeted the real body.

Great opportunity! Wu Hengxu seized the moment and quickly said:

"Throw it upwards!"

Throw, an intermediate evil attribute skill, which concentrates evil energy into an object and throws it at the target for an attack.

The dark flower held in the thug-like Boar’s mouth was its object.

At the same time, Qiao Sang said:

"The second one on the left."

The three ghostly flames hit the flowers in the mouths of three thug-like Boars, and along with the dark flowers, these three boars vanished into thin air.

The remaining three thug-like Boars took out the dark flowers with their paws, stood with their legs apart, raised their right arm high, and made a throwing gesture.

Immediately after, a mass of black evil energy enveloped the dark flowers.

Just as the three dark flowers were about to be thrown, a shadow abruptly darted out from the ground and bound the second boar from the left completely, leaving only its tiny black eyes and dark flower visible.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao appeared, grinned, and stretched a paw towards the dark flower.

The thug-like Boar’s eyes widened.

Xiao Xunbao’s paw drew ever closer to the dark flower.

The thug-like Boar’s eyes bulged even more.

"Cackle~"

Xiao Xunbao covered its mouth with another paw and emitted a villainous laugh, then its eyes shone with purple light again.

The thug-like Boar uncontrollably closed its eyes.

The shadow let go.

"Bang!"

The thug-like Boar, with its eyes closed, collapsed peacefully to the ground.

The whistle signaling the end of the match blew.

Thus, the time was one minute and one second.
