The power of the lightning struck square onto one of the Wind Proud Birds, making it vanish into thin air in an instant.
The remaining three Wind Proud Birds transformed into white light in an inverted triangle formation, charging straight toward Tingbao.
They were all contestants in the same tournament. Having jumped ranks to successfully challenge opponents twice in a row, it was impossible for the other party not to have noticed her matches.
Last time, the scattered power of Tingbao's lightning had struck the Speckled Swallow, which was similarly executing clones, the opponent should have seen that. Yet they still executed this move this time; it was far too abnormal.
If it were an ordinary Beast Tamer, that would be one thing, but this was Flame Star, where battles were prevalent. The opponent shouldn't be this unprepared...
Qiao Sang's brain worked at high speed, promptly recalling something as she shouted out: "Strike the one behind!"
Just as the words left her mouth, the Wind Proud Bird flying at the back came to a sudden halt, spreading its wings.
Simultaneously, rows of yellow electrical arcs surfaced across Tingbao's body, converging into a single bolt that passed exquisitely through the gap between the two Wind Proud Birds in front, striking toward the Wind Proud Bird at the rear.
She actually saw through it... Seeing this, Lila's heart tightened as she shouted: "Dodge!"
The Wind Proud Bird excelled most at speed, it could by no means allow an attack to strike it and affect its speed.
"Feng ao."
Obeying the command, the Wind Proud Bird brought its action to a forced halt, rapidly veering into high altitude to evade the incoming lightning bolt.
At the exact same time, the two Wind Proud Birds in front, having transformed into white light and coming within merely a few dozen centimeters of Tingbao, abruptly vanished into thin air.
"Lei lei."
Tingbao blanked out at first, then put on an I truly didn't pick the wrong person expression, holding back the urge to look behind him.
The brief clash set off discussions among the spectator stands.
"How on earth did Qiao Sang see through to the Wind Proud Bird's real body?"
"I could've seen through that too! Its real body was hiding behind the clones, clearly terrified of taking a hit."
"What was up with the Wind Proud Bird's clones? They disappeared right when they were about to strike Little Thunder Dragon."
"Maybe dodging caused its internal energy to fluctuate."
In the guest panel area.
"Tie tie!"
Tie Daoyi let out a call, displaying a face of admiration.
A synchronous translation transmitted into Fyodor and Fu Jian's earpieces.
Fu Jian marveled: "If Contestant Qiao Sang's commands were just a touch more concise, I feel that with her analysis of the battle situation, even competing in the Municipal Beast Sports Tournament would be more than enough."
"In such a short span of time, she analyzed that the two Wind Proud Birds in front were a diversion, while the actual main body was the one truly launching the attack. Hence, she ignored the two attacking clones in front and issued the command for Little Thunder Dragon to attack the real body."
Fu Jian grew increasingly filled with admiration: "Truly remarkable. At her age, I was completely incapable of doing this."
Fyodor chimed in: "Indeed, the Wind Proud Bird's real body had no intention of attacking simultaneously with the clones from the start."
"Judging by its action just now, it likely wanted to launch a long-range attack from the rear."
"At present, the Wind Proud Bird is incapable of having its clones execute Quick Attack while its real body attacks simultaneously."
"Those two clones didn't vanish because dodging an attack caused internal energy instability, rather, they vanished because the Wind Proud Bird's real body was preparing to initiate its attack."
"Contestant Qiao Sang must have seen through this point as well, which is why she disregarded the offensive from the two clones up front."
The eyesight and attentiveness of the guests far surpassed ordinary Beast Tamers and pets; all of them had noticed that right as the Wind Proud Bird's real body spread its wings, a faint white light had surfaced.
That was conclusive evidence that the real body was about to launch an offensive.
Amidst their conversation.
On the field.
Stabilizing its posture, the Wind Proud Bird flapped its wings downward forcefully.
A series of blades condensed from air instantly shot rapidly toward Tingbao.
Can't dodge it... Qiao Sang estimated the speed of the Air Blades, realizing this fact in an instant.
During this period, Tingbao had been training his movement speed and reaction capabilities with Qingbao as his sparring partner, she naturally knew how fast Tingbao's movement speed was.
It had to be said that movement speed remained one of Tingbao's major flaws at present.
"Defense!" Qiao Sang issued her command.
These past few days of matches were not without rewards. Aside from discovering the Multiscale and Lightning Rod traits, Tingbao had learned the method of converting a Discharge attack into large-scale defense through his battle with the Speckled Swallow.
Upon returning, she had specifically instructed Tingbao to practice controlling and extending the time and distance over which large amounts of electrical arcs scattered outward.
Understanding the command's intent, rows of yellow electrical arcs instantly surfaced across Tingbao's body, scattering outward.
The electrical arcs did not rapidly converge into a single lightning bolt like usual, but instead extended at least two meters further outward than before.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blade after blade condensed from air struck onto the scattered electrical arcs, letting out loud crashes.
The resulting shockwaves and airwaves partially obscured sight on the field.
"Air Blade!" Lila issued her command.
Hearing the opponent's command, rows of yellow electrical arcs instinctively surfaced across Tingbao's body once more, scattering outward.
However, the expected Air Blades did not attack over. Instead, the Wind Proud Bird's body transformed into a streak of white light, tracing an exquisite arc through midair.
The white light flashed and vanished, arriving directly at the blind spot behind Tingbao at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, charging downward.
Aerial Ace, a Mid-tier Flying-type skill. Uses agile speed to toy with the opponent and deliver a slash, it belongs to the close-range category, and scattered electrical arcs can't block this move at all...
An ordinary Beast Tamer wouldn't be able to catch the speed of Aerial Ace, but Qiao Sang clearly caught the trajectory, shouting out: "Strike backward!"
"Lei lei!"
Tingbao funneled his energy at the very first instance. The originally scattered electrical arcs instantly converged into a single bolt, striking concentratedly toward the rear.
Right at this moment, however, the white light flashed and vanished once more. Just as it was about to make contact with the power of the lightning, it altered its trajectory, charging straight down at Tingbao from directly above!
Discharge won't make it in time... Qiao Sang made a split-second decision.
"Dragon Tail above!"
If this command were given to another newly hatched Low-level pet, it would be extremely difficult to react at the first instance. Tingbao, however, reacted, rapidly gathering silver-white light onto his tail and whipping it heavily upward.
Yet, right as the silver-white tail was about to collide with the white light, the silver-white light that had just surged onto his tail suddenly vanished.
Qiao Sang's heart sank.
Bang!
A loud crash resounded, and Tingbao was sent flying backward under the impact of the white light.
The crowd erupted into an uproar.
They hadn't expected Tingbao's Dragon Tail to fail at the crucial final moment. Turning the thought over, however, they found it reasonable.
For a Low-level pet to execute a High-tier skill was an incredible feat in the first place, how could it possibly master complete control and execute it with 100% success every single time?
Lila felt no anger over the Wind Proud Bird disobeying her earlier command. Seeing the attack land successfully, she was thrilled and prepared to finish the job, shouting: "Air Blade!"
She hadn't forgotten that Tingbao still possessed the Multiscale trait.
"Feng ao!"
The Wind Proud Bird still refrained from obeying the command. Transforming into a streak of white light, it flashed rapidly across midair, charging straight toward Tingbao.
The success of its prior judgment made it even more confident in itself.
"Dragon Tail!" Qiao Sang shouted without a second thought.
Even if Tingbao managed to hit the Wind Proud Bird with a Discharge, given his current state, winning the match in the end would be exceedingly difficult. The only chance to win was to take another gamble right now!
"Lei lei!"
Struggling to stand up, Tingbao gritted his teeth, whipping his tail forcefully toward the direction from which the white light was charging.
As he whipped it, his tail radiated a brilliant silver-white light.
Bang!
Amidst the loud crash, the Wind Proud Bird was sent flying backward.
