“Echo Bat, close your eyes!”

Just as the female teacher announced the start of the battle, Chen Dongjun was the first to issue a command.

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, it seemed that her classmate had come up with a strategy to counter Xiao Xunbao Ghost after observing a dozen battles.

Echo Bat, a dual-attribute Pet Beast of the Poison and Flight Types, was capable of releasing ultrasonic waves for echolocation, enabling it to navigate in the dark with ease.

For Treasure-seeking Ghost, who needed eye contact to effectively cast hypnotism, closing its eyes meant nothing, not to mention Mystique Level hypnotism, would be of any use.

However, the Treasure-seeking Ghost wasn’t limited to just this trick…

The Echo Bat obediently closed its eyes.

“Keep it that way and release ultrasonic waves!” Chen Dongjun shouted.

Echo Bat flapped its wings and opened its mouth wide, pushing forward an energy fluctuation like a wave, and right as it was about to make contact with the Treasure-seeking Ghost, the Treasure-seeking Ghost vanished.

In the audience seats, many spectators began to comment.

“Not bad, it looks like someone is finally going to break the 5-second threshold.”

“Are ultrasonic waves effective against a Spectral-type Pet Beast that has stealthed?”

“Not sure, I only know that ultrasonic waves can induce a state of confusion in the opponent.”

“The books say that sonar object detection works by using sound waves that bounce back from solid objects. The Pet Beast’s ability to locate things is based on ultrasonic echo-location capabilities in its ears, and since Spectral-type Pet Beasts have a Penetration feature, I guess ultrasonic waves should be useless against the Treasure-seeking Ghost, right?”

“That depends on the proficiency of the ultrasonic waves. Didn’t you watch the competition on Lian Ke’s channel recently? Mao Yin detected the position of a Black Eyed Doll using her Soundwave Moth’s ultrasonic waves.”

“The traits of Pet Beasts have levels as well, probably the Soundwave Moth’s ultrasonic wave proficiency was high enough, and that Black Eyed Doll’s Penetration trait level was too low.”

“Aren’t you curious why Qiao Sang hasn’t given any commands in this situation?”

As soon as this was mentioned, people nearby suddenly felt a sting.

Was there even a need to ask? Clearly, it was because the level of combat from others was simply not on the same level as theirs.

Those who had just become Beast Tamers like them would command their Pet Beasts at every step during a battle, whereas experienced Beast Tamers wouldn’t do the same; it was clear that Qiao Sang was moving towards the direction of becoming a Professional Beast Tamer.

During major competitions, Professional Beast Tamers let their Pet Beasts respond based on their own combat instincts, and they would only issue commands at critical moments.

What did this mean? It meant Qiao Sang thought the current situation didn’t require her to utter any commands at all!

On the field, Chen Dongjun, watching the spot where Treasure-seeking Ghost had disappeared, panicked, but then reassured himself: It was alright, as long as the Treasure-seeking Ghost launched an attack, he could find its position!

Ultrasonic waves could sense the position of all solid matter through echoes, not just the Pet Beast itself, but also any tactile Skill.

Being a basic-level Pet Beast, the abilities of the Treasure-seeking Ghost were limited to moves like Shadow Ball and Lick.

The launch position of Shadow Ball could be sensed with ultrasonic waves, and even if the Treasure-seeking Ghost stealthily moved closer to use Lick, it would have to become corporeal the moment it extended its tongue. If he could seize that instant to counterattack, his chances of victory were still high.

And if, retreating ten thousand steps, the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s reaction speed was fast enough to dodge Echo Bat’s attacks, as long as Echo Bat used ultrasonic waves for sensing and dodged the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s attacks, ultimately it would still come down to whose energy would run out first.

As various thoughts flashed through Chen Dongjun’s mind, the Treasure-seeking Ghost eerily appeared right behind the Echo Bat.

“Echo Bat, behind you!” Chen Dongjun exclaimed in alarm.

“Yinyin!”

Startled, Echo Bat quickly turned around and with a forceful flap of its wings, two Air Blades surged toward the Treasure-seeking Ghost.

Yet the strike fell through unexpectedly.

“Xun Xun~”

The Treasure-seeking Ghost, witnessing the Echo Bat’s shocked reaction, covered its mouth and snickered, completely unconcerned about the two incoming Air Blades.

Just as the Air Blades were about to hit, the Treasure-seeking Ghost disappeared once again.

“Quick, use ultrasonic waves!” Chen Dongjun reminded.
