"Boom! Boom!"
Even though Boom Boom was just a low-level Pet Beast, it had courage to spare and didn’t know the meaning of the word "fear."
It looked at its opponent, who was many times its size, and let out a defiant shout, signaling, "Come on, just bring it on!"
"Bingke?"
Lubao looked toward the tiny creature, even smaller than Xiao Xunbao, and turned its puzzled gaze to its own Beast Tamer.
Was this its next opponent?
"Yes."
Qiao Sang nodded.
Lubao fell silent.
"Cue!"
At that moment, the whistle that signaled the start of the match blew.
The audience in the seats began to discuss.
"I bet it’s over in 30 seconds."
"I bet 20 seconds."
"Then I bet 15 seconds."
"Don’t be too harsh, guys. Boom Boom is very strong, okay? It’s not scared at all facing an opponent two levels higher. Just on this point, how many Pet Beasts can do that? I bet 10 seconds."
"Hahaha, brother, don’t be too funny."
"...Actually, Boom Boom is really not weak. It’s mainly because the level is too low. If Bingke Xilu deals with Boom Boom the same way it dealt with Santao, it definitely can’t do it. Boom Boom’s main move is self-destruct, which is very dangerous, whether inside its body or outside," a spectator from the Liaoxi Area couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to argue.
"Then how many seconds do you bet?" asked the person next to him.
The spectator from the Liaoxi Area thought for a moment and said, "13 seconds, I guess."
"Cue!"
No sooner had the words fallen than the whistle on the field blew.
"Boom, boom..."
The virtual screen showed Boom Boom lying on the ground, stars spinning around its dazed face.
The audience reacted indifferently, showing no particular surprise.
The spectator from the Liaoxi Area was stunned for a moment, then turned and asked:
"How many seconds did this match just take?"
"11 seconds," replied the boy next to him who had been timing because of the bet.
Sigh! It’s too disappointing. Why couldn’t it hold on for just two more seconds... The spectator from the Liaoxi Area gazed at the virtual screen showing Boom Boom, his expression filled with disappointment.
...
Time rolled back to 11 seconds ago.
After the whistle blew, Boom Boom soared into the sky and let out an arrogant shout at Lubao.
"Boom! Boom!"
Immediately after, it rushed toward Lubao’s direction at high speed.
Upon seeing this, Cui Pingkun’s lips twitched involuntarily.
It wasn’t really Boom Boom’s fault for being so arrogant when facing an opponent so much stronger.
The main issue was his own guidance which made Boom Boom mistakenly believe it was an exceptionally awesome existence.
There was no helping it; the opponents he now faced were at least mid-level Pet Beasts, and although Boom Boom had great potential, at this stage it truly was weak.
The only skill that could cause damage to the opponent, even managing to trade one-for-one with a higher level, was self-destruct.
To unleash its full energy in an explosion to exert the greatest power, it needed confidence first.
After self-destructing, no matter the opponent, Boom Boom would fall.
To ensure that Boom Boom self-destructed with confidence every time, he would always tell it afterward that the opponent had been taken down.
And Boom Boom never doubted this.
Rest easy... Cui Pingkun thought to himself.
"Boom! Boom!"
A layer of white light emerged on Boom Boom’s body, swiftly approaching Lubao.
My Beast Tamer told me, when facing an opponent who seems stronger, just explode on them! No opponent could withstand its self-destruct!
To a low-level Pet Beast, Boom Boom’s speed was incredibly fast.
