The audience erupted into laughter as they witnessed the scene.
“Hahaha! What’s with this Treasure-Seeking Demon? It looks like it’s just asking for a beating!”
“Unbelievable. Plucking feathers and flipping the bird, this thing is clearly trying to max out its aggro levels!”
“Wow, its taunting skills are already at the mastery level.”
“By the way, did anyone notice? That Treasure-Seeking Demon is actually wearing colored contacts!”
“Something seems off with the Glide Owl. Its beast tamer has been calling out for ages, and it’s completely ignoring them.”
On the Field.
The Glide Owl unleashed an onslaught of moves.
It used Brave Bird Strike, followed by Wind Blade, then Air Slash, and immediately transitioned into Steel Wing.
The ferocity of its attacks made Qiao Sang’s heart tremble.
Thankfully, Little Treasure could teleport; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted a second.
"Xun!”
Little Treasure teleported again and again, dodging frantically.
The Glide Owl's aggression was relentless, its speed astonishing. Each time Little Treasure narrowly avoided an attack and teleported to a new position, another strike would be upon it almost immediately, several times nearly hitting its mark.
High-level pet beasts really are on a different level… Qiao Sang thought, her heart pounding as she analyzed the situation.
“If this keeps up, the Glide Owl will deplete its energy and stamina soon. That’s when we’ll have a chance to counterattack.”
At that moment, the Glide Owl abruptly stopped.
“Xun…”
Finally, Little Treasure had a moment to catch his breath. He wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead with a paw.
Finally… a break.
Was it tired? It seemed weaker than she had anticipated. Qiao Sang looked up at the Glide Owl hovering in midair, just about to order Little Treasure to attack.
But then, the owl spread its wings wide, and instantly, over 20 identical copies of itself appeared in the sky.
Qiao Sang stared at the countless clones, and a sentence she had once read online popped into her mind:
Never let your pet beast taunt recklessly. If the aggro bar maxes out, the consequences will be catastrophic!
Could the aggro bar really be maxed out? A bad feeling crept over her.
And sure enough, whatever you fear most always comes to pass.
“Caw!”
Fueled by rage, the Glide Owl's combat strength skyrocketed.
The 20 or so clones simultaneously flapped their wings, unleashing hundreds of air blades that rained down like a storm toward Little Treasure.
Ruan Yunwen watched with a complex expression and stopped calling out, silently approving of the owl’s aggressive approach.
Although this wasn’t her usual fighting style, as long as it worked...
“Xun! Xun!”
Little Treasure frantically teleported, narrowly dodging the dense barrage of air blades.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the blades landed, the sandy arena was left riddled with holes.
The audience held their breath, feeling a mix of excitement and worry for the Treasure-Seeking Demon.
“This level of attack is going all out, isn’t it?”
“Well, to be fair, the Treasure-Seeking Demon went too far with its taunts. Flipping the bird was one thing, but plucking feathers and showing them off? That’s just asking for trouble.”
“I get what the Shengshui student is trying to do. She’s aiming to wear down the Glide Owl before striking.”
“It’s not a bad plan. What else could the Treasure-Seeking Demon do? Fight it head-on? That’s a guaranteed loss.”
“Still, the Treasure-Seeking Demon’s teleportation is impressive. It hasn’t been hit yet!”
On the Field.
Qiao Sang frowned as she watched the situation unfold. The relentless air blade assault showed no signs of stopping. If this continue, her Little Treasure might not hold out.
The Glide Owl’s altitude seemed to have dropped slightly, likely from the energy and stamina it had already expended.
It’s time to act. Qiao Sang made a swift decision and shouted:
“Teleport onto its back!”
The deafening sound of air blades striking the ground drowned out her voice for most of the audience, but it was perfectly audible on the official livestream.
Viewers immediately shared their thoughts in real time:
“The air blades are so dense; there’s no way it can teleport there, right?”
“Even if it could, how would it know which one is the real body with all those clones?”
“Just asking: Why can’t it teleport through the blades?”
“Let me explain. Teleportation allows a creature to instantly move to a new location, but it can’t pass through obstacles. For the Treasure-Seeking Demon to reach the Glide Owl, it would have to go straight through all those air blades, impossible.”
“That explains it. I was wondering why it kept teleporting within the storm instead of moving to safer spots around the edges.”
In the livestream, the Treasure-Seeking Demon was indeed struck by an air blade mid-teleportation and fell to the ground. Immediately, the relentless air blades rained down upon it.
In midair, the Glide Owl finally seemed satisfied, retracting its clones and leaving only its true form hovering. Its expression clearly said, “This is what happens when you mess with me.”
Viewers flooded the chat with comments:
“Wow, it couldn’t teleport past the blades? Basic knowledge, really.”
“Cut them some slack. She’s only 15 and lasted this long against a high-level beast. That’s impressive!”
“Was there even a fight? All I saw was dodging.”
“Hey, dragging the battle out this long against a high-level beast is no small feat.”
“I don’t care about the outcome; I just want to see Ice Qiya!”
“This Glide Owl’s fighting style is so brutal. What happens if Ice Qiya is up next?”
“Now that you mention it… I’m worried for Ice Qiya’s fate!”
“Wait! Holy crap! What’s going on with that ghost-type beast? It teleported successfully?! Then what was that one that fell earlier?!”
In the broadcast, the supposedly injured Treasure-Seeking Demon appeared unscathed on the Glide Owl’s back. Shadowy, ribbon-like tendrils emerged from its claws, tightly binding the owl.
On the Battlefield.
“Caw!”
The owl struggled desperately as its wings were bound by Dark Binding, leaving it unable to generate lift or thrust. It could only plummet straight down.
My guess was right, its energy and stamina are nearly depleted. Otherwise, the Glide Owl’s superior strength would have easily broken free of the binding. Qiao Sang smiled, satisfied with the outcome.
Boom!
The owl crashed heavily into the ground, sending dust flying.
In the VIP Section
Huang Renbiao took a deep breath and said gravely, “Principal Wang, your student Qiao Sang has been hiding her skills well. Not only can her Treasure-Seeking Demon substitute, but it can also use teleportation!”
Teleportation?! That’s a high-level psychic skill! Add that to the ghost-type Dark Binding, and this mid-level beast is ridiculously overpowered… Wang Weidou’s mind raced as he struggled to keep his composure. Calmly, he replied:
“Just some basic moves. Didn’t your student Ding Yanjing keep a few tricks up his sleeve too?”
