Chapter 67: Blaze Trait

Qiao Sang looked at Fire Fang with a slight shock.

To be so spirited after being thrown around like that...

It seems she had underestimated it...

Since Fire Fang had given its opinion, she would naturally support it with all her strength.

Seeing Fire Fang, who was still shaking its body and looking as if it could take down the opponent, Qiao Sang's resolve hardened.

She wanted to win.

Perhaps influenced by Fire Fang's emotions, she felt a renewed determination to win.

It was no longer the mindset of thinking she couldn't win before the match even started.

Nor was it the confidence of having thoroughly studied the opponent and being sure of victory, as in the previous matches.

It was a long-lost youthful impulse.

A long-dormant passion, unique to young people, ignited in her heart.

Isn't it just about continuing the fight?!

At worst, Fire Fang will get a bit hurt!

Fire Fang, who was battling on the field, wasn't afraid!

What did she, a tamer who only moved her lips, have to be afraid of?!

"Flame Charge!" Qiao Sang said with a determined expression.

Some spectators, who were watching the large screen from a distance, noticed that at this moment, Qiao Sang's expression and Fire Fang's were identical.

Without pausing, Fire Fang immediately took action.

Unlike the previous Flame Charges, this time it didn't need a running start to release its energy. As soon as Fire Fang's hind legs made a starting motion, flames burst out from its body, enveloping it entirely.

From its momentum, it didn't look like it had just been injured.

Psychic Scale, which was not in a very high position, could easily be reached by Fire Fang's jump.

Psychic Scale had just used a large-scale psychic attack and hadn't had time to catch its breath. Suddenly, it saw Fire Fang, enveloped in flames, charging at it with great momentum.

It was taken aback and felt the temperature around it suddenly rise.

When it came to its senses, it saw Fire Fang, whose face was obscured by flames, already in front of it.

Psychic Scale was startled and hastily teleported to another direction.

"Psychic."

Before Psychic Scale could stabilize, it heard its tamer's command.

It quickly extended its short arms and mobilized the little energy it had left.

"Another failure, teleportation is simply unbeatable at this level of pet beasts," the commentator remarked.

Fire Fang missed its target.

But the flames around its body didn't disappear.

It turned around and continued its attack on Psychic Scale.

However, halfway through its charge, its body became immobilized.

By the time it realized what had happened, it was already falling heavily to the ground.

"Flame Charge!" Qiao Sang issued the same command.

Fire Fang struggled to get up, and the flames enveloped it again.

The audience couldn't help but discuss the situation.

"This Fire Fang's perseverance is truly extraordinary. Your third pet beast is also a Fire Fang. How does it compare to this one?"

"You mean my Puffy? Hehe."

"Attacking like this won't work. The opponent can teleport and has a highly developed psychic ability. Isn't this just a waste of effort?"

"Why worry about what others think? Isn't it enough to enjoy the match?"

"I just feel sorry for Fire Fang."

"This is a competition. If you feel sorry for every injury, you might as well play house."

"..."

On the field.

Before Fire Fang could get close, Psychic Scale used its psychic ability to control it without teleporting.

"Bang!"

Another heavy thud on the ground.

Qiao Sang clenched her fists, watching Fire Fang drag its injured body and struggle to stand up again.

She suppressed her inner shock and said forcefully, "Flame Charge!"

At this point, everyone in the arena was confused.

"What's going on with Qiao Sang?"

"Wasn't she quite smart in the previous rounds?"

"Flame Charge is powerful, but what's the point if it can't touch the opponent?"

"Maybe she's throwing caution to the wind. Since she's going to lose, she might as well show her resolve."

At the commentator's booth.

"Fire Fang stands up again! It hasn't given up! Even if it loses this match, Fire Fang's indomitable spirit will be remembered!" the commentator said, moved.

Flames enveloped Fire Fang again.

Seeing Fire Fang charge forward with determination, some compassionate spectators couldn't bear to watch and covered their eyes.

"Bang!"

Another heavy thud on the ground.

The spectators who had covered their eyes put their hands down when they heard the sound.

Then they were stunned.

"Damn! What's going on? Can someone tell me why Psychic Scale is the one on the ground?!"

But no one around them answered.

They didn't know either!

Qiao Sang was excited.

Her strategy was flawless!

She wasn't very familiar with the skills of psychic-type pet beasts, but she could make some judgments based on the situation.

At first, Psychic Scale's psychic ability wasn't at its peak. It only used it when forced.

She believed the power of psychic ability could be controlled.

The stronger the psychic ability, the more energy it consumed.

So Psychic Scale would definitely control the strength of its psychic ability to conserve energy.

Fire Fang's first two Flame Charges were to make Psychic Scale think it only needed to use a portion of its psychic ability to control Fire Fang.

Of course, Fire Fang didn't know about her plan.

It was simply following her orders and using Flame Charge with all its might.

But during the third Flame Charge, she increased the skill's level from beginner to proficient in the Beast Tamer's Codex.

Although it was only from beginner to proficient, Flame Charge is a powerful mid-level skill.

Psychic Scale had been blinded by the power of the first two Flame Charges.

The third psychic ability would be about the same strength as the first two.

The result was as she expected.

In the end, Psychic Scale's psychic ability couldn't withstand the suddenly strengthened Flame Charge.

"Fang!"

"Fang!"

Fire Fang barked twice.

The first bark was joyful, the second was in pain.

It had completely forgotten to maintain a cool expression and excitedly jumped up, only to fall over due to weakness.

Fortunately, it quickly got up again.

On the other side, Psychic Scale, though not on fire, felt as if it was being burned.

"Scale!!"

Psychic Scale kept rolling and crying out in pain.

Hou Xiangyu's heart sank.

He knew Psychic Scale had entered a burn state.

Flame Charge has a certain probability of causing a burn state.

Once in a burn state, it would cause continuous damage.

Psychic Scale's energy was already low, and its defense wasn't strong.

This way, it would likely lose...

But the opponent wasn't in much better shape.

"Get up! Psychic Beam!" Hou Xiangyu shouted.

"Flame Whirl!" Qiao Sang shouted at the same time.

Fire Fang was already heavily injured. If the opponent still had enough energy to release a sweeping Psychic Beam, it wouldn't be able to avoid it.

In that case...

They could only go head-to-head!

Psychic Scale, enduring the continuous burning sensation, stood up, raised its short claws, and gathered all the remaining energy in its body.

Fire Fang also tried to gather more energy.

"Bang!"

The two energies collided, but they didn't cancel each other out.

The Psychic Beam overpowered the Flame Whirl and charged straight at Fire Fang.

We won!

Hou Xiangyu thought to himself.

He didn't expect winning against a beginner Fire Fang to be so exciting.

"The winner is Hou..."

The referee's words paused.

He saw the fallen Fire Fang struggling to stand up again!

Unlike before, Fire Fang's eyes were fierce, with a hint of bloodshot, and it was enveloped in a faint orange flame.

This wasn't Flame Charge; it was...

"This is the Blaze Trait!" the commentator stood up excitedly.

Hou Xiangyu almost spat blood.

What's going on with this Fire Fang!

Can't it be knocked down?!

At the same time, Psychic Scale, having exhausted its energy, closed its eyes and fell to the ground.

The entire arena fell silent.

Actually, I wanted to write a more realistic ending where Fire Fang loses, but after writing so much about this match, I couldn't help but let it win... I couldn't control myself...
