Chapter 2404: Chapter 371: Bone Fire King (Double-Length Part 3)

"Candidate Qiao Sang indeed sent out Qingfeng Claudian!" Auroaldo commented from the commentary booth.

"Yin Bell."

Yin Zhongsi exclaimed, expressing that this was his first time seeing the legendary Pet Beast with his own eyes, and it’s from another planet.

"Candidate Xia Huo now only has Bone Fire King left." Nephthys said, "Facing Qingfeng Claudian, this might be her only chance to win a match in this competition."

The Bone Fire King, a Spectral Series King-level Pet Beast, has flames within its bones that can scorch a creature’s soul, and possesses the Language Imprint-like ability. Whatever it says becomes deeply imprinted, like a branding mark, on other beasts, affecting them unconsciously as they spend their lives trapped under the influence of those words... Qiao Sang looked at the familiar Pet Beast before him, about ten meters in size, its black skull, and hollow eyes containing two clusters of dark red flames, while pieces of related information flashed through his mind.

On the field, Qingbao recalled the information his Beast Tamer had shared earlier about the Bone Fire King and swiftly tore off a piece of the white cloud below itself.

However, at that moment, a dark red Energy Sphere measuring about two meters charged straight at him.

Qingbao had to interrupt its action and disappeared in a Wind Transform.

"Bang!"

The dark red Shadow Ball exploded, sending heat waves and shockwaves raging, surprisingly carrying a sinister feeling despite being high-temperature explosion energy.

"Bone Fire King incorporated its bone fire into the Shadow Ball, directly using Combination Skills as soon as it appeared." Nephthys commented from the commentary booth.

"The Shadow Ball infused with bone fire causes additional soul-searing effects on the target compared to a regular Shadow Ball." Auroaldo said, "If Qingfeng Claudian gets hit by this, it could be severely injured right away, and it might sustain ongoing damage even if it endures."

"Yin Bell."

Yin Zhongsi exclaimed, noting that Qingfeng Claudian’s small stature and Wind Transform ability makes it quite difficult for such a skill to hit.

"Bone Bone."

Just as the words fell, the Bone Fire King on the field suddenly spoke.

Its voice sounded amplified, spreading throughout the entire area.

Invisible sound waves rippled out.

"Yin Bell." Yin Zhongsi exclaimed from the commentary booth, noting that Bone Fire King used the Curse Technique.

The Curse Technique, Bone Fire King’s talent skill, is also described in documents as a Language Imprint-like ability.

"What did Bone Fire King just say?" Nephthys asked.

"Yin Bell." Yin Zhongsi replied.

"Qingbao, your Wind Transform ability will disappear..." Qiao Sang’s mind automatically translated Bone Fire King’s utterance.

During this period, she gained thorough knowledge of Xia Huo’s documents, naturally including the Bone Fire King.

The Curse Technique, Bone Fire King’s talent skill, requires calling the target’s name for implementation. Of course, calling the species name is also possible, but doing so alone carries the risk of failure.

Apparently, the opponent has investigated the names of Qingbao and others...but then, it’s understandable since all their names end in ’bao,’ even guessing could lead to the right conclusion. Had she known such a capable Pet Beast existed, she would have been more cautious when naming them... Qiao Sang realized she was fixating on irrelevant thoughts and quickly redirected her mind.

Curse Technique sounds pleasant like a Language Imprint but essentially is a type of curse power.

Unlike most curse abilities, the words spoken through the Curse Technique instantly influence the target’s mind upon hearing it, and take effect immediately. For lower-level Pet Beast, this ability is invincible, having a lifelong effect.

Unless the affected gradually evolves to match the level of the Pet Beast using the Curse Technique, only then might the impact fade with time, or in case of equal level, they can forcefully dispel with strong willpower and spiritual power.

Concerning higher-level Pet Beast compared to itself, the Curse Technique acts like ordinary words, not affecting them.

Qiao Sang regarded the Bone Fire King on the field, appearing calm.

Having deeply understood Bone Fire King’s capability, she naturally prepared countermeasures in advance.

At this moment, spectators in the audience knew what Bone Fire King said through virtual screen subtitles and translations from their companion Pet Beasts, turning their gazes back to the field, waiting for Qingfeng Claudian to appear.

However, Qingfeng Claudian did not appear immediately.

Suddenly, the high altitude of the arena shook with a loud "boom," a streak of yellow lightning briefly illuminating the field.
