The audience erupted into laughter as they witnessed the scene.
âHahaha! Whatâs with this Treasure-Seeking Demon? It looks like itâs just asking for a beating!â
âUnbelievable. Plucking feathers and flipping the bird, this thing is clearly trying to max out its aggro levels!â
âWow, its taunting skills are already at the mastery level.â
âBy the way, did anyone notice? That Treasure-Seeking Demon is actually wearing colored contacts!â
âSomething seems off with the Glide Owl. Its beast tamer has been calling out for ages, and itâs completely ignoring them.â
On the Field.
The Glide Owl unleashed an onslaught of moves.
It used Brave Bird Strike, followed by Wind Blade, then Air Slash, and immediately transitioned into Steel Wing.
The ferocity of its attacks made Qiao Sangâs heart tremble.
Thankfully, Little Treasure could teleport; otherwise, he wouldnât have lasted a second.
"Xun!â
Little Treasure teleported again and again, dodging frantically.
The Glide Owl's aggression was relentless, its speed astonishing. Each time Little Treasure narrowly avoided an attack and teleported to a new position, another strike would be upon it almost immediately, several times nearly hitting its mark.
High-level pet beasts really are on a different levelâŠ
Qiao Sang thought, her heart pounding as she analyzed the situation.
âIf this keeps up, the Glide Owl will deplete its energy and stamina soon. Thatâs when weâll have a chance to counterattack.â
At that moment, the Glide Owl abruptly stopped.
âXunâŠâ
Finally, Little Treasure had a moment to catch his breath. He wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead with a paw.
Finally⊠a break.
Was it tired? It seemed weaker than she had anticipated. Qiao Sang looked up at the Glide Owl hovering in midair, just about to order Little Treasure to attack.
But then, the owl spread its wings wide, and instantly, over 20 identical copies of itself appeared in the sky.
Qiao Sang stared at the countless clones, and a sentence she had once read online popped into her mind:
Never let your pet beast taunt recklessly. If the aggro bar maxes out, the consequences will be catastrophic!
Could the aggro bar really be maxed out?
A bad feeling crept over her.
And sure enough, whatever you fear most always comes to pass.
âCaw!â
Fueled by rage, the Glide Owl's combat strength skyrocketed.
The 20 or so clones simultaneously flapped their wings, unleashing hundreds of air blades that rained down like a storm toward Little Treasure.
Ruan Yunwen watched with a complex expression and stopped calling out, silently approving of the owlâs aggressive approach.
Although this wasnât her usual fighting style, as long as it worked...
âXun! Xun!â
Little Treasure frantically teleported, narrowly dodging the dense barrage of air blades.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the blades landed, the sandy arena was left riddled with holes.
The audience held their breath, feeling a mix of excitement and worry for the Treasure-Seeking Demon.
âThis level of attack is going all out, isnât it?â
âWell, to be fair, the Treasure-Seeking Demon went too far with its taunts. Flipping the bird was one thing, but plucking feathers and showing them off? Thatâs just asking for trouble.â
âI get what the Shengshui student is trying to do. Sheâs aiming to wear down the Glide Owl before striking.â
âItâs not a bad plan. What else could the Treasure-Seeking Demon do? Fight it head-on? Thatâs a guaranteed loss.â
âStill, the Treasure-Seeking Demonâs teleportation is impressive. It hasnât been hit yet!â
On the Field.
Qiao Sang frowned as she watched the situation unfold. The relentless air blade assault showed no signs of stopping. If this continue, her Little Treasure might not hold out.
The Glide Owlâs altitude seemed to have dropped slightly, likely from the energy and stamina it had already expended.
Itâs time to act.
Qiao Sang made a swift decision and shouted:
âTeleport onto its back!â
The deafening sound of air blades striking the ground drowned out her voice for most of the audience, but it was perfectly audible on the official livestream.
Viewers immediately shared their thoughts in real time:
âThe air blades are so dense; thereâs no way it can teleport there, right?â
âEven if it could, how would it know which one is the real body with all those clones?â
âJust asking: Why canât it teleport through the blades?â
âLet me explain. Teleportation allows a creature to instantly move to a new location, but it canât pass through obstacles. For the Treasure-Seeking Demon to reach the Glide Owl, it would have to go straight through all those air blades, impossible.â
âThat explains it. I was wondering why it kept teleporting within the storm instead of moving to safer spots around the edges.â
In the livestream, the Treasure-Seeking Demon was indeed struck by an air blade mid-teleportation and fell to the ground. Immediately, the relentless air blades rained down upon it.
In midair, the Glide Owl finally seemed satisfied, retracting its clones and leaving only its true form hovering. Its expression clearly said, âThis is what happens when you mess with me.â
Viewers flooded the chat with comments:
âWow, it couldnât teleport past the blades? Basic knowledge, really.â
âCut them some slack. Sheâs only 15 and lasted this long against a high-level beast. Thatâs impressive!â
âWas there even a fight? All I saw was dodging.â
âHey, dragging the battle out this long against a high-level beast is no small feat.â
âI donât care about the outcome; I just want to see Ice Qiya!â
âThis Glide Owlâs fighting style is so brutal. What happens if Ice Qiya is up next?â
âNow that you mention it⊠Iâm worried for Ice Qiyaâs fate!â
âWait! Holy crap! Whatâs going on with that ghost-type beast? It teleported successfully?! Then what was that one that fell earlier?!â
In the broadcast, the supposedly injured Treasure-Seeking Demon appeared unscathed on the Glide Owlâs back. Shadowy, ribbon-like tendrils emerged from its claws, tightly binding the owl.
On the Battlefield.
âCaw!â
The owl struggled desperately as its wings were bound by Dark Binding, leaving it unable to generate lift or thrust. It could only plummet straight down.
My guess was right, its energy and stamina are nearly depleted. Otherwise, the Glide Owlâs superior strength would have easily broken free of the binding.
Qiao Sang smiled, satisfied with the outcome.
Boom!
The owl crashed heavily into the ground, sending dust flying.
In the VIP Section
Huang Renbiao took a deep breath and said gravely, âPrincipal Wang, your student Qiao Sang has been hiding her skills well. Not only can her Treasure-Seeking Demon substitute, but it can also use teleportation!â
Teleportation?! Thatâs a high-level psychic skill! Add that to the ghost-type Dark Binding, and this mid-level beast is ridiculously overpoweredâŠ
Wang Weidouâs mind raced as he struggled to keep his composure. Calmly, he replied:
âJust some basic moves. Didnât your student Ding Yanjing keep a few tricks up his sleeve too?â
