"Xun~"

As expected, the Treasure-Seeking Demon was sent out... Wu Hengxu was not surprised to see the pet beast in the distance.

Qiao Sang, 15 years old, with two advanced-level pet beasts and one intermediate-level pet beast, had advanced from the preliminaries to the national competition with an undefeated record.

In the regional matches, she almost always sent out the Treasure-Seeking Demon to defeat two opponents in a row when facing competitors with only two intermediate-level pet beasts.

The moment Wu Hengxu learned that his opponent was Qiao Sang, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, 'Damn.' feeling extremely unlucky.

Without an advanced-level pet beast, he never expected to go far in the national competition. However, he never imagined that he would encounter a player who seemed like the ultimate boss in the very first round.

What kind of rotten luck is this...

In contrast to his trainer's unstable mindset, the Rogue Pig, holding a black flower in its mouth, looked at its opponent, the corner of its mouth curling up, revealing an eager expression.

The Rogue Pig, a dual-type intermediate-level pet beast with earth and dark attributes, is known for its impulsive nature and love for causing trouble. From birth, it carries a black flower in its mouth, feeling insecure without it... Qiao Sang observed the pig-like creature with numerous black stripes on its body, three sharp claws on each limb, and a black flower in its mouth, recalling its information.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure stared at the flower in his opponent's mouth with great interest.

"Ee ee..."

The Rogue Pig noticed Little Treasure's gaze and immediately became wary.

"Qu!"

At that moment, a mechanical-type pet beast wearing a referee's badge blew the whistle signaling the start of the match.

Little Treasure quickly disappeared from his spot.

"Who do you think will win this round?" On the spectator seats, a group of students in navy blue uniforms, holding a banner that read 'Wu Hengxu, you're the best! Wu Hengxu, you're the strongest!' discussed.

A girl who had just checked the Treasure-Seeking Demon's information using a pet beast identifier said, "It should be Wu Hengxu. I just checked, and the opponent's pet beast is called the Treasure-Seeking Demon, a ghost-type."

It's common knowledge that dark-type pet beasts counter ghost-types. Dark-type pet beasts are usually cruel and cunning, capable of breaking the ghost-binding abilities of ghost-type pet beasts. Some dark-type skills, such as Pursuit and Beat Up, are very effective against ghost-types.

"But didn't you see the green star array of this Qiao Sang just now? Three pet beasts! I heard she was the first in the regional competition held in the Ancient Guwu Region." A short-haired girl nearby expressed her concern.

"Is she the one whose Blazing Star Canine's Meteor Rain reached the ultimate level?" A bespectacled boy asked.

"Exactly." The short-haired girl nodded.

The classmates holding the banner listened to the conversation and silently lowered the banner.

"But she has sent out the Treasure-Seeking Demon now. Even if he loses in the end, he should at least win this round, right?" The girl who had checked Little Treasure's information earlier said.

The classmates holding the banner immediately raised it high again.

"But Qiao Sang's Treasure-Seeking Demon also has psychic attributes. It knows Shadow Control and has even mastered the three-dimensional mode." The short-haired girl added.

The classmates holding the banner silently lowered it once more.

"We can't boost others' morale and dampen our own! Even if others think Wu Hengxu will lose, we can't think that way!" The girl with the pet beast identifier said with utmost seriousness.

The short-haired girl fell silent.

The classmates holding the banner perked up and instantly raised it above their heads.

"Qu!"

At that moment, the whistle signaling the end of the match sounded.

Following that, the host's voice echoed in everyone's ears: "The first match goes to Qiao Sang from Shengshui High School in Yuhua Region!"

The students in navy blue uniforms: "!!!"

One minute earlier.

On the field, Little Treasure vanished from sight, only to reappear in front of the Rogue Pig the next second, his eyes glowing purple.

Although Wu Hengxu held little hope for himself, as the sole representative of his school in the national championship, the coach had thoroughly discussed all opponents' information and countermeasures.

Knowing his opponent was Qiao Sang, he hadn't watched any matches in the past few hours. Instead, he and the coach had been strategizing for this match.

Losing was one thing, but this was a national broadcast. He couldn't afford to lose without dignity, or it wouldn't just be him losing face, but the entire school!

"Shadow Clone!"

Just as the Little Treasure-Seeking Demon disappeared, Wu Hengxu quickly issued the command.

When Little Treasure appeared in front of the Rogue Pig, five identical clones of the Rogue Pig appeared around it.

The Rogue Pig that met Little Treasure's purple gaze showed no reaction.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure's eyes lost their purple glow, and he vanished once more.

Simultaneously, the six Rogue Pigs gathered dark energy in front of their mouths, forming black teeth that snapped at the spot where Little Treasure had just disappeared.

Bite, an intermediate dark-type skill, uses dark energy to form teeth for attack, with a certain chance of causing the opponent to flinch, dealing significant damage to ghost-type pet beasts.

If Little Treasure couldn't teleport, given the Rogue Pig's reaction speed, the chance of being bitten would be as high as 70%. Qiao Sang analyzed the situation calmly.

Her gaze swept over the six identical Rogue Pigs, suddenly stopping on the black flower in one of their mouths.

A piece of information flashed through Qiao Sang's mind: The Rogue Pig values its black flower as its life. Anyone who threatens the flower will face its relentless wrath, not even its own trainer is spared.

As this thought emerged, Qiao Sang immediately commanded: "Burn its flower!"

"Xun!"

The invisible Little Treasure let out a cry, and three eerie green ghost fires suddenly appeared out of thin air, randomly shooting towards the black flowers in the mouths of three Rogue Pigs.

The second Rogue Pig from the left immediately turned fierce.

As the Rogue Pig's trainer, Wu Hengxu could naturally sense which one was the real body.

He knew clearly that none of the ghost fires had targeted the real body.

A great opportunity! Wu Hengxu seized the moment and quickly ordered:

"Throw upwards!"

Throw, an intermediate dark-type skill, gathers dark energy on an item to hurl it at the target.

The black flower in the Rogue Pig's mouth was its item.

At the same time, Qiao Sang commanded: "The second one from the left."

The three ghost fires hit the black flowers in the mouths of three Rogue Pigs, causing them to disappear along with the flowers.

The remaining three Rogue Pigs used their claws to take the black flowers from their mouths, spreading their feet apart and raising their right arms, preparing to throw.

Immediately after, a dark energy enveloped the black flowers.

Just as the three black flowers were about to be thrown, a black shadow suddenly shot up from the ground, tightly binding the second Rogue Pig from the left, leaving only the Rogue Pig's beady black eyes and the black flower exposed.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure reappeared, grinning as he reached his claw towards the black flower.

The Rogue Pig's eyes widened.

Little Treasure's claw drew closer to the black flower.

The Rogue Pig's eyes grew even wider.

"Xun xun xun~"

Little Treasure covered his mouth with his other claw, letting out a villainous laugh, then his eyes glowed purple.

The Rogue Pig closed its eyes uncontrollably.

The shadow released its grip.

Bang!

The Rogue Pig fell to the ground peacefully, eyes closed.

The whistle signaling the end of the match blew.

Thus, the match concluded in one minute and one second.
