Chapter 59: Chapter 55 As Long as It Hasn’t Evolved
“Desert Tail Fox in grave danger!”
As the commentator’s voice fell, the Fire-Toothed Dog clamped its flame-engulfed fangs around the neck of the Desert Tail Fox.
The Fire-Toothed Dog had already faced the Desert Tail Fox once before.
It was well aware of the weakness in the Desert Tail Fox’s neck.
Although last time Flame Tooth had struck a vital point, it couldn’t take the fox down due to the gap in strength until it suffered additional damage from a heavy blow.
But this time…
The commentator suddenly stood up, “Am I seeing this right? This is the Flame Tooth at the level of minor mastery!”
His commentary had once again become rich with emotion.
Mid-level skills at minor mastery aren’t uncommon, but they’re incredible when displayed by a pet beast freshly contracted by a junior high graduate.
“The Fire-Toothed Dog used the sand thrown as a cover to produce a second doppelganger, while its true body quickly moved behind the Desert Tail Fox—an unexpected move for a rookie Beast Tamer,” Sha Duo, with dark circles under his eyes, added to the commentary.
The whole arena fell into a moment of silence after watching the Desert Tail Fox fall and the referee announced the result.
Jin Chengxi, standing at the front side of the field, couldn’t see it.
But the audience seated around the arena had a clear view of everything.
Under the cover of the dust, the Fire-Toothed Dog had sprung forth a third doppelganger, maneuvering into Jin Chengxi’s blind spot to the rear of the Desert Tail Fox, the timing and positioning were just perfect.
“That’s just too cool!”
“I feel like I’ve seen this match before.”
“Now that you mention it, I also have this feeling of déjà vu.”
“Though, don’t you guys think it bears resemblance to the last match of Alsius from yesterday?”
“…”
“Holy crap! It really does!”
The crowd suddenly remembered yesterday’s battle that broke countless hearts.
Although they were worlds apart, the tactic of feinting to the east and attacking from the west, the surprise attack from behind, wasn’t that exactly Alsius’s style?!
The audience, as if on cue, shifted their gaze in unison to the center of the arena.
Qiao Sang had single-handedly stirred up the excitement of the arena.
“And now, please welcome…”
The competition continued.
Qiao Sang sat down, cradling the cool-faced Fire-Toothed Dog.
“Qiao the genius, the Fire-Toothed Dog is too cool! Also, how does it seem like you’ve completely figured out your opponent’s moves?” Bai Yunmiao said, admiringly.
The Fire-Toothed Dog tried to maintain a cool face.
“I haven’t completely figured them out; I just did some research beforehand,” Qiao Sang replied.
She had watched two of Jin Chengxi’s matches.
Jin Chengxi was an offensive player who would pounce on any vulnerability shown by his opponents.
All she needed to do was deliberately expose a flaw, and he would focus all his attention on it.
If it hadn’t been for inspiration from Alsius’s match yesterday, actually, she had prepared a different strategy.
Of course, this new strategy was still predicated on the Desert Tail Fox using the Ground Split skill.
But there aren’t many skills a mid-level pet beast can have.
In the previous two matches, Jin Chengxi had ordered the Desert Tail Fox to use Ground Split, so there was a good chance this new plan would come into play.
The outcome was quite smooth.
“Qiao the genius, is it true what the commentator said, that the Flame Tooth was at the level of minor mastery?” Bai Yunmiao asked.
“It’s true,” Qiao Sang nodded.
Bai Yunmiao looked at the Fire-Toothed Dog in shock.
The Fire-Toothed Dog, expressionless, tilted its head 45 degrees upward, ready to bask in the forthcoming praise when instead Bai Yunmiao changed the subject.
“My next opponent is Chen Qian, do you have any good advice for me?”
After recalling for three seconds, Qiao Sang answered, “No.”
Chen Qian wasn’t on her list to remember.
So she didn’t know what kind of pet beast Chen Qian had…
Bai Yunmiao looked a little disappointed.
“Yesterday, by relying on attribute reversal, your Sago Vine managed to win against the pudgy pigeon; you should believe in your own strength,” Qiao Sang consoled: “I haven’t researched Chen Qian because she doesn’t have a mid-level pet beast. As long as her pet doesn’t evolve into a mid-level beast before the match, with your strength, you have a good chance of winning.”
“You’re right!” Bai Yunmiao was instantly heartened.
