Chapter 481 - 481 448 So Tired from Turning

Chapter 481: Chapter 448: So Tired from Turning… Chapter 481: Chapter 448: So Tired from Turning… The competition ahead could be as slow as thirty minutes, or as quick as a dozen minutes.

This was the first time since the opening of the national tournament that the audience had seen a match between Pet Beasts of the same rank end so swiftly in just a couple of moves, and they couldn’t help but become restless.

“That’s it? It felt like it didn’t even last a minute.”

“I don’t get it. Why could that girl directly recognize the Doppelganger of the Rogue Boar?”

“Aren’t evil Pet Beasts supposed to suppress Spectral Series? Why can’t I feel it at all?”

“Damn, Three-Dimensional mode of Shadow Control! Isn’t that just invincible among the same rank?!”

“Shadow Control mainly focuses on binding, right? Theoretically, the Rogue Boar, being an evil Pet Beast, should be able to forcibly break free, no?”

“It’s already in Three-Dimensional mode, and with such a high proficiency, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to break free, not to mention that the Treasure-seeking Demon immediately used hypnotism and didn’t give the Rogue Boar any time to escape.”

“Did it use it immediately? Why do I feel like it touched that flower with its claw in the meantime, deliberately mocking the Rogue Boar for a bit?”

“You don’t understand, that’s strategy! Didn’t you see that when the Treasure-seeking Demon touched the flower, the Rogue Boar’s eyes bulged like crazy? The bigger the eyes, the easier it is to be hypnotized.”

“I see!”

About 70% of the audience were students, who often expressed their immediate feelings about the battle, while the leaders in the first row were more into analysis.

“The invisibility of the Spectral Series combined with the Teleportation of the Psychic Series, let alone the Rogue Boar, even ordinary High-Level Pet Beasts would find it tough to attack this Treasure-seeking Demon.”

“Qiao Sang’s strategy is not bad, deliberately mentioning burning the flower, exhibiting the Rogue Boar’s weak point, then winning the match cleanly and neatly… It’s not just about overpowering with a High-Level Pet Beast, the gold content of this first place in the division is really high.”

…

While everyone was discussing, the Pet Beasts for the second match on the field had already been summoned.

“They’re sending out the Treasure-seeking Demon again for the second match, who do you think will win?” asked someone from a group of students in dark cyan school uniforms in the audience.

“Qiao Sang,” replied the girl with short hair.

“I think it’s Wu Hengxu; his Thunder Web Spider is hard for other Pet Beasts of the same level to get close to,” said the bespectacled boy next to her.

At that moment, the girl who had previously checked Xiao Xunbao’s information with the Pet Beast Identifier turned to ask, “Hu Le, who do you think will win?”

Hu Le shook his head, “I don’t know.”

The girl asked, “Why aren’t you holding up your banner anymore?”

Hu Le was silent for a few seconds, “My hands are a bit sore.”

The Thunder Web Spider, a mid-level Thunder-type Pet Beast, could spit out a large amount of electrified silk to create barriers that could be used for defense as well as attack… On the field, Qiao Sang recalled the details as she looked at the largely yellow creature with four eyes and eight legs, and a white fluffy growth on the back of its body.

“Start!”

The whistle signifying the start of the match blew.

Xiao Xunbao, as usual, turned invisible.

Almost simultaneously, from the mouth of the Thunder Web Spider, several strands of white silk carrying thunder electricity were rapidly ejected.

The white silk threads adhered to the ground, crisscrossing and forming an all-encompassing spider web around and above the Thunder Web Spider.

The yellow electricity crackled incessantly on it, giving off an intimidating sensation that discouraged anyone from getting too close.

Why is the Treasure-seeking Demon not appearing yet… Wu Hengxu felt something was off.

Theoretically, the Treasure-seeking Demon would attack the very second after turning invisible since it could Teleport. Therefore, he had instructed the Thunder Web Spider before the match to remain vigilant at all times, ready to switch from defense to offense with its silky spit in an instant, ideally entangling the Treasure-seeking Demon with the electrified silk as soon as it appeared close by.

Yet the web was fully set up at 360 degrees without any sign of the Treasure-seeking Demon. This wasn’t normal.

Wu Hengxu felt uneasy, sensing the Treasure-seeking Demon might make a big move soon.

However, as he grew uneasy, an uncontrollable thought flashed through his mind: with the electric net all set up, the match couldn’t possibly end so quickly this time…

An eerie silence engulfed the arena.

“Thunder…”

The four eyes of the Thunder Web Spider looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, all the electric nets were as if lifted by some force, aggressively smothering the Thunder Web Spider, appearing like a mass of white clouds electrified by a mysterious condensation.

“Thunder!”

The Thunder Web Spider moved swiftly across the thunder net.

But the thunder net surrounded the Thunder Web Spider entirely, leaving it with nowhere to dodge.

In no time, the thunder net entangled the Thunder Web Spider completely.

Wu Hengxu looked at the Treasure-seeking Demon that appeared mid-air with a dumbfounded face, having no idea why the thunder net suddenly went out of control.

Wait a minute! Blue eyes?

Could it be Telekinesis?

That’s it! The Treasure-seeking Demon has attributes of the Psychic Series, it must have the Skill of Telekinesis!

But is the Telekinesis of the Treasure-seeking Demon so strong? To be able to control so many thunder nets?

A stream of thoughts flashed through Wu Hengxu’s mind as he grasped the key point, thinking to himself, well, this Treasure-seeking Demon waited until the thunder net was completely set up before pulling this move, just so it could control the Thunder Web Spider more assuredly… So the Thunder Web Spider was busy for nothing, the thunder net was prepared for itself?

Wu Hengxu almost spat blood at this thought.

He hurried to console himself, luckily the one controlling the Thunder Web Spider was the thunder net, not something else.

About half a meter above the ground, the Thunder Web Spider, curled up like a silkworm cocoon, opened its mouth, and its sharp teeth showed as the “cocoon” with thunder was bitten open with a hole.

Before the Thunder Web Spider’s head could emerge from the “cocoon,” Qiao Sang said in a somewhat helpless tone:

“Hurry up and spin.”

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, and following that, the “cocoon” shimmering with thunder spun rapidly.

Seeing this, Wu Hengxu made a decisive command:

“Spit silk towards the hole!”

Wu Hengxu’s thoughts were very clear, as long as the thunder silk attached to any part of the ground, the Thunder Web Spider could leverage its way out!

Hearing its Beast Tamer’s command, the Thunder Web Spider tried to ignore its dizziness and accurately aimed at the hole with its mouth open.

At the same time, the blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes brightened, speeding up its spinning.

If the initial spinning rate was at normal speed, it was now at eight times the speed.

Inside the “cocoon,” the Thunder Web Spider “yued” and felt as if there was a storm raging inside its body. Not to mention aiming at the hole, it felt so nauseous that it couldn’t spit out any silk for a while.

Seeing that the Thunder Web Spider couldn’t spit silk, Wu Hengxu immediately changed his command:

“Bite through the thunder net!”

Thunder nets were extremely tough for anyone else, but not for the Thunder Web Spider that created it. With one bite from the Thunder Web Spider, the threads of the thunder net would break.

This was also the reason why Wu Hengxu was still able to console himself just now.

Inside the “cocoon,” the Thunder Web Spider opened its eyes with a great deal of willpower.

It steadied its form, its eyes grew firmer, and just as it opened its mouth, aiming at the inner wall of the “cocoon” with its sharp teeth exposed, the blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes outside brightened once more.

“Thunder!!!” the Thunder Web Spider let out a miserable shriek.

In the audience’s view, the “cocoon” almost turned into a blurred afterimage of yellow and white intertwining.

If it was eight times the speed a moment ago, now it was sixteen times the speed.

Such a pitiful Thunder Web Spider… the audience couldn’t help but have this thought occur to them unanimously.

After an indeterminate amount of spinning, the blue light in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes faded, and the “cocoon” fell to the ground, rolling twice without any movement.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao wiped at the nonexistent sweat with its paw.

Spinning was so exhausting…

The Mechanical Beast wearing a referee’s badge floated in front of the “cocoon,” squinted into it, and then took the whistle hanging around its neck and blew into it.

“Qu!”
