Chapter 309: Torrent Trait
At that moment, his mind buzzed, and his expression froze in shock.
Although he had speculated earlier, seeing it with his own eyes still hit him hard.
Sure enough, the Flame Hound’s eyes had turned blue, the distinctive color of telekinesis activation.
Telekinesis...
It really was telekinesis...
Simultaneously controlling 16 Marine Gnawers from different positions, this level of mastery over telekinesis... The vice principal of Pinghai High School dared not think further.
He wasn\'t the only one stunned; the audience burst into heated discussions.
“This... is this really a high schooler’s level?!”“Damn it! Why isn’t such a monstrous student in our school?”
“Gasp... Could their telekinesis already be at the mastery stage?”
“Be bold! Maybe it’s already at the ultimate technique level, like their Ember and Fire Fang.”
“... Don’t joke about that.”
“Wait, someone told me that Qiao Sang from Shengshuu High is just a freshman.”
“Who told you that? And you believed such nonsense? Even finding seniors nationwide at this level is rare. Now you’re telling me this is a freshman? What are you thinking? Tell me, who said that? I’ll confront them right now!”
“Wang Weidou.”
“Who?”
“Wang Weidou, the principal of Shengshui High.”
“...”
“Why aren’t you talking? Want to confirm with him directly? He’s here today, seated in the first row, third from the left. See?”
“... Get lost!”
“Why are you cursing? I was just talking to you properly!”
“...”
Meanwhile, the match continued on the field.
Yabao tilted his head downward, and the 16 Marine Gnawers fell heavily to the ground.
“Gnaw!!!”
One by one, the Marine Gnawers vanished, leaving only the original in a pitiful state on the ground.
The real one had finally been exposed... Qiao Sang focused her thoughts. Just as she was about to issue the command for Fire Whirl, Yabao seemed to sense something.
Without waiting for his beastmaster’s order, a swirling flame imbued with violent energy shot toward the Marine Gnawer before it could rise.
Too late!
Zhou Jing’s mind raced as she analyzed the situation on the field.
Given the Marine Gnawer’s current condition, it wouldn’t have enough time to evade or counterattack before the incoming assault landed.
If that’s the case, then the only option... Zhou Jing took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and decisively shouted, “Hold on!”
Hold on? Seriously...? Qiao Sang found it both amusing and oddly convincing.
Phrases like “Hold on!” “Dodge!” “Show your determination!” “Stand up!” “I believe in you!” “You’ve got this!” often worked in TV dramas.
This thought had barely crossed Qiao Sang’s mind when the flames hit the Sea Gnawer head-on and exploded.
The heatwave spread out.
Yet, the Marine Gnawer did not fall.
Not only had it endured, but it had also stood back up!
What the heck?! It really held on!
Qiao Sang was stunned. TV dramas never lie!
To think that Yabao’s Fire Whirl although not yet at the ultimate mastery level, had been honed to near perfection through countless battle trainings.
A direct hit like that should’ve left the injured Marine Gnawer unconscious or at least gravely injured and unable to stand.
But the Marine Gnawer hadn’t just withstood it, it had risen to its feet?!
The power of holding on was truly terrifying.
Maybe she should try this tactic with Yabao in future battles...
While Qiao Sang entertained these thoughts, her attention remained locked on the match.
She noticed the standing Marine Gnawer suddenly become enveloped in water, which then spread across its entire body. Her expression immediately turned serious.
Something wasn’t right...
It wasn’t just Qiao Sang who noticed; the audience had also caught on.
“Who would’ve thought that this Sea Gnawer has the Torrent Trait? Looks like this match is far from over.”
Torrent, a trait that significantly boosts the power of water-based skills when the pet beast is in a critical state. It works similarly to the Blaze ability, except one applies to water and the other to fire.
“Your school’s Zhou Jing is impressive. Keeping such a trump card hidden, she might achieve excellent results in this year’s National Campus Beast Mastering League.” A man sitting next to the vice principal of Pinghai High commented.
The vice principal opened his mouth but chose to remain silent.
He feared that if he spoke, Zhou Jing might lose.
Torrent... Qiao Sang silently mouthed the word as her lips curved into a grin.
Now that’s more like it!
If it had gone down so easily, how could Yabao enjoy a good fight?
“Yap!”
Yabao’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He crouched, ready to pounce at any moment.
“Water Stream Jet!” Zhou Jing suppressed her excitement as she gave the command to the water-shrouded Marine Gnawer.
The water around the Marine Gnawer suddenly swelled several times over. It leapt into the air, moving with fluid precision, changing direction so rapidly that it was impossible to track.
All the audience could see was a streak of blue water darting through the air.
Qiao Sang tilted her head slightly, calmly analyzing the blue blur above.
The speed was astonishing. If Yabao tried using telekinesis, he likely wouldn’t keep up and might even be left vulnerable during the attempt.
If Yabao couldn’t teleport, this opponent would indeed be a tough challenge.
“Listen carefully!” Qiao Sang commanded.
“Yap!”
Yabao stopped trying to visually follow the blue blur, instead perking his ears to track the sound of the Marine Gnawer’s movements.
The water streak zigzagged through the air, moving faster and faster, leaving behind an afterimage.
“Why isn’t Qiao Sang giving any commands?” Someone in the audience wondered aloud.
“Didn’t she just say, ‘Listen carefully’?” Someone nearby replied.
“...”
As they spoke, the blue blur shot toward Yabao from an angle completely outside its line of sight.
Just as it was about to hit, Yabao suddenly vanished from his spot.
Zhou Jing’s heart sank. It had dodged?!
Then, as a sudden realization struck her, she shouted anxiously, “Don’t stop!”
Her instincts connected the current scenario to the last match.
The moment the Star Spotted Turtle’s high-speed rotation stopped, the Flame Hound had appeared, ending the battle in an instant.
To be safe, she couldn’t afford to stop now!
But just as her words rang out, her eyes widened in shock.
What the heck?! Why was there a streak of red on the blue?
The Flame Hound had teleported onto the Marine Gnawer?!
“Yap!”
Yabao stood atop the Marine Gnawer, his claws submerged in water, gripping its body tightly. His fur streamed wildly in the wind, exuding the aura of a heroic figure.
He would’ve looked perfect, if only his eyes hadn’t been squinting from the force.
Yabao opened his mouth, blazing fangs forming instantly, and a massive flame surged downward without mercy.
“Gnaw!!!”
The blue streak plummeted to the ground.
Dust swirled. Water scattered.
When the view cleared, the Marine Gnawer lay unconscious with its eyes closed.
A sharp whistle sounded, signaling the end of the match.
