"Yap..."

Looking at the fallen, unconscious opponent below, Yabao showed an awkward expression.

He hadn't expected that even after holding back his strength, the opponent still fainted.

Clearly, they had agreed that the final blow should be delivered by Old Fourth...

As the scene unfolded, the audience erupted into loud cheers.

The spectators who had initially questioned Qiao Sang’s decision to send out the Steel Falcon in the finals now all wore expressions of admiration.

"I knew it! How could Qiao Sang send a low-level pet beast into the finals for no reason? Turns out her Blazing Star Canine is strong enough to take on two opponents at once!"

"Did any of you notice? Qiao Sang’s pet beasts seem highly proficient in all their skills. Just look at its Clone and Fire Fang, I've never seen that level of mastery even in high school competitions."

"Seriously. I actually feel a bit bad for Radko now. I've watched his team battles before, and his Punch Hook Baboon was definitely much stronger than this. But today, it lost without even getting a chance to use a single skill. That’s just tragic."

"Honestly, I don’t think the Steel Falcon was even necessary. Just look at how the Blazing Star Canine stands in front of it like an impenetrable wall. Neither Poponelli nor the Punch Hook Baboon could even touch it."

"The Steel Falcon did play a small role, but its level was too low to have much impact. If it hadn’t seized the right moment to attack the Punch Hook Baboon while the Blazing Star Canine was using Fire Whirl, I think the Baboon could have safely escaped."

"That’s true. And if the Baboon had escaped, it could have attacked the Steel Falcon from behind. Maybe then, it wouldn’t have lost so quickly and unceremoniously."

"I think the real issue is the skill gap. For most pet beasts, the abdomen is a weak spot. If the Punch Hook Baboon had better battle awareness, it would’ve realized that besides Sonic Punch, it could have used its legs to attack. Its legs weren’t being restrained, after all."

"Come on, who has time to think that much in a battle? The Blazing Star Canine's attacks were way too fast."

At that moment, someone suddenly said, "I have a question."

"What is it?" The person next to them asked curiously.

"The one who got knocked out was Radko’s Punch Hook Baboon, right? Then why does Qiao Sang look like she’s the one who lost it?"

On the battlefield, Qiao Sang looked at the unconscious Punch Hook Baboon with deep regret.

The points!

She had finally gotten a chance to fight, but the points were gone just like that!

This won’t do!

Yabao's attack skills were too powerful, one wrong move and it might just knock out the opponent directly.

Even though Poponelli was also a high-level pet beast, Fairy-type creatures generally had low defenses. If she used an overly strong attack, the points would be lost again... ʀἈＮO͍ꞖЕꞨ

No, now that the Punch Hook Baboon was gone, she absolutely couldn’t afford to miss out on Poponelli’s points!

With that thought, Qiao Sang's expression turned unusually serious. She decided that from this moment on, she would take full control of the fight, no more letting Yabao act on his own!

"Flame Claw!" Qiao Sang commanded loudly.

Yabao was highly proficient in most of his skills, but not all. Flame Claw was one of the few he hadn't mastered.

"Yap!"

Yabao released his grip on Gangbao, then instantly teleported in front of Poponelli, raising his paw as flames rapidly gathered around it.

A flash of fire, Flame Claw was about to strike!

Poponelli, being a high-level pet beast, reacted swiftly. It abruptly leaned backward, placing its palms on the ground, narrowly dodging the attack.

Then, it executed a series of backflips, swiftly putting distance between itself and Tooth Treasure.

Wait... does this Poponelli have a Fighting-type attribute too?

Seeing how agile Poponelli was, Qiao Sang quickly adjusted her strategy.

"Clone!" She ordered.

Yabao locked eyes with Poponelli, which was about ten meters away. In an instant, dozens of identical Blazing Star Canines appeared across the battlefield, both on the ground and in midair, relentlessly closing in from all directions.

Poponelli continued flipping backward, then twisted its waist left and right before rolling and leaping into the air. Displaying impressive flexibility, it dodged each clone's attack.

Then, out of nowhere, a dozen air blades sliced toward it from behind.

Though Poponelli didn’t turn around, it sensed the danger.

Almost simultaneously, its Beast Master’s voice rang in its ears,

"Jump onto the Blazing Star Canines!"

"Popo!"

Poponelli leaped into the air, its powerful jump carrying it over the nearest two Blazing Star Canine, landing on another ten meters away.

With a boom, the leading clone was hit by the air blades and vanished. The remaining energy dissipated, posing no further threat.

Using its agility and swift footwork, Poponelli hopped from one clone to another, continuously repositioning itself.

The audience erupted in excitement, now this was a battle worth watching!

A fight that ended too quickly wasn’t what they wanted to see.

Just as the spectators expressed their satisfaction, a Blazing Star Canine suddenly appeared high above, baring its fangs as it charged toward Poponelli.

Poponelli leaped again, intending to step on its head but mid-jump, its body suddenly froze in the air, maintaining its jumping posture but unable to move.

Looking at the Blazing Star Canine before it, its eyes had turned an eerie shade of blue.

It found the real body!

Radko’s expression changed drastically. He opened his mouth to issue a command but before he could even get a word out, the real Blazing Star Canine, its eyes still glowing blue with psychic energy, raised its paw.

In an instant, flames gathered, and with one powerful strike, Flame Claw tore downward!

"Popo!"

Poponelli let out a miserable cry as it crashed to the ground.

Radko forgot to give any further commands. His mouth hung open, his expression blank, his mind buzzing with shock.

What just happened?!

Using Clone, Psychic, and Flame Claw simultaneously?

Just how high does its skill proficiency have to be to pull that off?

Are we sure Qiao Sang isn’t some professional Beast Master who shrank herself with a pet beast's ability just to experience high school life?

Because this level of skill is absolutely insane for a high schooler!

The audience was in an uproar.

Every spectator knew exactly what it meant for a pet beast to use three skills simultaneously.

This simply wasn’t something a high school student should be capable of.

"Oh my god! Even my teacher can only have his pet beast use two skills at once!"

"That’s different. Your teacher probably uses fusion techniques. Qiao Sang’s Blazing Star Canine used three separate skills at the same time without combining them."

"How much control over energy does it take to achieve that? Even the Flame Claw it used didn't seem to be fully mastered."

"There’s one possible explanation." A teacher in the audience said.

"This Blazing Star Canine likely has an immense reserve of energy. Its Clone and Psychic are at least at the ultimate level, allowing it to precisely control its energy. Under such conditions, it’s possible to use an additional, lower-proficiency skill without overwhelming itself. Since it’s not trying to merge the skills, the difficulty is slightly lower."
