Chapter 664 The Ferocious Qingbao (Part 2)

Thunderstorm? It doesn’t seem like it… Thorfinn stared at the changes in the sky, his face pale and ashen.

While the focus of data collection was primarily on Emperor-level pets, there were also specialists dedicated to collecting information on Royal-level pets.

To be honest, Qiao Sang’s data was among the most difficult to gather of all the contestants.

She hadn’t participated in many competitions; her last competition was the Master Challenge for A-level professional beast tamers. Later, she became an S-level professional beast tamer, and this was her first competition.

During that time, she cultivated the Ice Luo Di Miao, the first Emperor-level form of this race in the entire interstellar space. It hadn’t participated in competitions after evolving, and there were no precedents to refer to, making it impossible to judge its true strength or make an accurate assessment.

The same was true for Feng Xiaoyun. Although it wasn’t the first Feng Xiaoyun in the entire interstellar space, and there were historical records, it was a legendary pet.

Regarding legendary pets, everyone basically recorded its ultimate form, because almost no one could contract it, let alone take it to competitions. Therefore, no information could be found about the strength and abilities of Feng Xiaoyun in this form.

All that’s known is its terrible temper, its tendency to unleash fierce winds at the slightest provocation, already showing the makings of a “god of disaster.”

In terms of attributes, the Rockspine Dragon has absolutely no chance against Feng Xiaoyun.

But, he couldn’t just give up. There were plenty of professional Beastmasters who had won against opposing attributes, and the Rockspine Dragon wasn’t just Dragon-type; it also had Rock-type…

Thorfinn took a deep breath, forcibly blocking out the reality of his four consecutive losses in his mind. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he issued the command:

“Roar!”

Although Feng Xiaoyun was attacking now, simply defending was useless. Feng Xiaoyun could transform into wind, changing position at any time. He had to make it reveal itself. Of all the Rockspine Dragon’s skills, only Dragon’s Roar could potentially bring Feng Xiaoyun out!

“Rockspine!!!”

Following his Beastmaster’s command, the Rockspine Dragon immediately raised its head, letting out a terrifying roar.

A deep, yet piercing dragon roar exploded, and invisible sound waves rapidly spread across the entire arena from its center. The ground tore open, cracks appeared, the air vibrated violently, and even the raging winds were stirred up by this force, no longer churning chaotically but howling and sweeping across the surroundings with the air vibrations.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t issue any commands.

Although Qing Bao, having activated the Wind Fury Phenomenon, had been trained to maintain a certain level of rationality and heed his commands, it was still actually affected by its violent emotions. In this state, its attack power and reaction speed were significantly enhanced.

The Rock Spine Dragon was already being suppressed by Qing Bao; rather than issuing commands to influence it, it was better to let Qing Bao act according to its own rhythm.

Under the Wind Fury Phenomenon, and with Qing Bao maintaining a certain level of rationality, even if the opponent had a Beastmaster directing it, victory wasn’t guaranteed.

After all, in this match, Qing Bao possessed absolute dominance in both attributes and abilities.

Terrifying sound waves reverberated across the arena, and Qing Bao appeared high in the sky with a ferocious expression.

“Rock Ridge!!!”

The Rock Ridge Dragon roared again upon seeing its opponent.

At the same time, a brown light emanated from its body.

The next second, the ground trembled even more violently, cracking open completely, and countless rocks rapidly rose into the air.

“Qingqing!”

But before the Rock Ridge Dragon could launch its attack, Qingbao in the sky revealed a ferocious smile and shouted.

Immediately afterward, deafening thunder roared in succession, a gale accompanied the thunder, and from the depths of the clouds, countless yellow lightning bolts tore through the sky and suddenly descended.

This was not a series of single lightning bolts, but a massive amount of lightning descending simultaneously!

The Rock Ridge Dragon’s pupils shrank sharply, and it subconsciously circulated its energy. Countless rocks floating in the air, preparing to attack upwards, suddenly changed direction and rapidly converged towards it.

Layer upon layer of jagged, heavy rocks piled up, quickly transforming into a thick rock barrier, completely shielding the Rock Ridge Dragon’s body.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Countless terrifying lightning bolts crashed down from the sky, continuously bombarding the ground.

The ground cracked and collapsed in patches!

Scorched earth and rubble flew everywhere, and the continuous roar shook the space violently, instantly turning the entire arena into a series of holes.

This included the Rock Barrier erected by the Rock Spine Dragon.

However, every time the Rock Barrier was struck by lightning, scattering rubble and appearing on the verge of complete collapse, a brown light would quickly appear on its surface and the surrounding ground. Then, countless rocks would rise from the ground, continuing to pile up on the Rock Barrier to reinforce it.

Lightning strikes, rocks pile up and recover, repeating this cycle.

In the stands, the crowd watched this scene with trepidation, swallowing hard. The visual impact of the sudden change in the weather, the raging storm, and the massive yellow lightning strikes was simply too strong.

Many people were deeply shocked, raising their voices to discuss the scene amidst the continuous roaring lightning.

“What kind of skill is that? Isn’t Feng Xiaoyun a Fairy-type Pokémon? How can it have such a terrifying Electric-type skill?”

“It’s not just Fairy-type, it’s also Flying-type.”

“But isn’t this an Electric-type skill?!”

“More than that, it seems to be a dual-type skill of Flying and Electric. Look at the wind blowing in this arena.”

“It looks like Thunderstorm. I remember Feng Xiaoyun used Thunderstorm in a match when it was still Qingfeng Yunren!”

“But it doesn’t look like it! Isn’t Thunderstorm supposed to have a very low hit rate? But I feel like Feng Xiaoyun’s skills have a pretty high hit rate now. The lightning seems to be deliberately aimed at the Rock Spine Dragon.”

“You know, I think so too. It’s like the lightning is being controlled.”

“Impossible, impossible. This is Thunderstorm. How can the lightning in Thunderstorm be controlled? Even the ultimate move can’t.”

“I thought Feng Xiaoyun would use a Fairy-type skill to attack, but I didn’t expect it to use Thunderstorm right away.”

“Truly worthy of being a legendary Pokémon, its aura looks so strong amidst the lightning…”

“What the book says is true after all…”

“What does the book say?”

“It says that Feng Shenyun is the god of disaster, with a bad temper and is terrifying. Look at it, doesn’t it look terrifying?”

“I feel like Qingbao has changed a bit…”

“Who is Qingbao?”

“Qiao Sang gave Feng Xiaoyun the name. I’ve seen Qingbao’s previous competitions. It looked soft and cuddly, like it would be easy to touch, but now…” The person speaking swallowed hard as they looked at the ferocious-looking pet in the sky.

“It might be an evolutionary awakening of inherited memories,” someone nearby said. “Legendary pets definitely have inherited memories. Many pets with inherited memories change part of their personality after evolution, some even undergoing a complete personality change. I think Feng Xiaoyun is the latter.”

“No wonder he’s called the God of Disaster, he looks pretty terrifying…” “

Feng Xiaoyun activated the ‘Wind Fury Celestial Phenomenon’ as soon as he entered the arena!” Tao Jia shouted from the commentary booth.

As the host and commentator, the contestants’ pet information was well prepared before the competition. Regarding Feng Xiaoyun, if the competition were held on another planet or in another country on Earth, the local commentators might make mistakes based on the current situation, but the commentators from the Dragon Kingdom wouldn’t.

If there was no information about Feng Xiaoyun, they would ask the country. As a competition open to the entire interstellar space, and held in their own country, the country would naturally provide it.

“Wind Fury Celestial Phenomenon?”

“What is ‘Wind Fury Celestial Phenomenon’?”

“Tao Jia used the word ‘activated,’ is it a trait?”

In the audience, everyone looked surprised and started discussing.

“The ‘Wind Fury’ phenomenon is Feng Xiaoyun’s characteristic. It can be activated once the rage value accumulates to a certain level,” Chen Zhuo explained. “

When Feng Xiaoyun appears, the clouds around its lower body turn black, which is a sign that its rage value is full.”

“Lili!”

Li Menggui exclaimed, indicating that it was no wonder Feng Xiaoyun’s expression was so fierce from the moment it appeared; it was because it had accumulated enough rage value.

After hearing the explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

“So it’s a characteristic.”

“I knew it wasn’t like Thunderstorm; the skill’s hit rate wouldn’t be this high.”

“Wow, this characteristic is terrifying! It’s like an attack-type super-tier skill, and a high-level super-tier skill at that.”

“Don’t forget Feng Xiaoyun’s nickname.”

Amidst the discussions, on the field, high in the sky, Qingbao looked at the continuously repairing rock barrier below, a sinister smile on its face, and then vanished in the wind.

The next second, the already raging wind suddenly surged in power, the howling airflow transforming into sharp wind blades, sweeping fiercely towards the rock barrier.

A fierce wind tore through the rock walls, causing them to crack open.

“Boom!”

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, followed by several bolts of yellow lightning, seemingly controlled, striking precisely at the location of the Rock Fortress.

Thorfinn’s expression changed drastically.

The wind was controlled, the lightning was controlled—this power was enough to break through the Rock Spine Dragon’s defenses!

“Roar!” Thorfinn issued his previous command again.

The wind was now swirling around the Rock Spine Dragon, indicating that Feng Xiaoyun was likely nearby. Forcing it to reveal its location was the best time to act!

As Thorfinn finished speaking, the wind swept in, and the lightning struck, completely piercing through the Rock Fortress.

Rock shattered and exploded, revealing the Rock Spine Dragon inside.

“Rock Spine!!!”

A shrill scream rang out from the Rock Spine Dragon’s mouth.

The scream was extremely painful, but with its scream, invisible sound waves rapidly rippled outwards, causing the air to vibrate.

Qingbao appeared a few dozen meters above the ferocious Rockspine Dragon. It raised its claws, and countless pink starlight instantly converged upon them.

It was nearby! It was about to unleash the Fairy Hammer! Thorfinn shouted, “Go!”

Without hesitation, the Rockspine Dragon raised its head, opened its mouth, and a terrifying brown energy instantly gathered within, shooting upwards.

Qingbao didn’t continue condensing the Fairy Hammer; instead, it revealed a ferocious smile and abruptly vanished into the wind.

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

The brown beam of light didn’t miss; yellow lightning crashed down precisely on its target, creating a terrifying shockwave that swept outwards.

The yellow lightning in the sky didn’t stop there; one after another, it continued to fall towards the bombardment site.

“Rockspine!”

The yellow lightning passed through the shockwave and struck the Rockspine Dragon below, causing it to let out a shrill scream.

This was definitely not a thunderstorm! This thought flashed through Thorfinn’s mind.

S-rank professional beast tamers, in order to avoid being disturbed and better concentrate on the competition, would block out sounds from outside the arena.

In the blink of an eye, the Rockspine Dragon channeled its energy, rapidly forming brown rock armor on its body.

However, before it was fully formed, Qingbao suddenly appeared behind it, revealing a ferocious expression, raising its claws, and thousands of pink starlight instantly gathered in its claws into a giant pink hammer.

“Host!” Thorfinn snapped out of his thoughts and quickly said.

“Rockspine!”

Ignoring the pain, the Rockspine Dragon abruptly turned around, opening its mouth, brown energy instantly condensing deep in its throat.

But at that moment, Qingbao gave it a flirtatious wink, and a pink heart-shaped energy instantly shot out.

The Rockspine Dragon seemed to be frozen in place, as if under mechanical control.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao grinned maliciously, raising the pink hammer high and smashing it down.

The Rockspine Dragon was sent flying backward.

Thorfinn: “!!!”

Charm! It actually used charm!

Thorfinn was greatly shocked.

To be honest, he had been wary of Feng Xiaoyun’s Fairy-type Charm-type traits and skills. He remembered that the information he had gathered indicated Feng Xiaoyun possessed the “Charm” trait, which would have a high chance of inducing a captivating state in a male-female pet upon entering the battle.

However, the Rockspine Dragon wasn’t captivated when Feng Xiaoyun appeared.

It was impossible for them to be of the same gender, as the information suggested Feng Xiaoyun was female; or perhaps it was just luck that the Charm trait didn’t affect the Rockspine Dragon. But he felt this was unlikely, as the information stated that Feng Xiaoyun’s Charm trait level was quite high.

That left only one possibility: Feng Xiaoyun herself had controlled the Charm trait upon entering the battle, preventing it from activating.

When this trait reaches A-level, it can be controlled upon entering the battle.

Feng Xiaoyun’s expression upon entering was extremely ferocious, and he felt this was highly probable.

He had assumed that Feng Xiaoyun’s ferocious expression meant it didn’t want to activate its Charm-type traits or use related skills, but unexpectedly, it used Charm with such a ferocious face!

He had been careless!

“Divide it!” Thorfinn exclaimed.

“Boom!”

Just as the words were spoken, a bolt of lightning struck the flying Rockspine Dragon.

“Rockspine!”

the Rockspine Dragon screamed and crashed to the ground.

Qingbao appeared beside it, wielding a giant pink hammer.

Just as the hammer was about to strike, countless Rockspine Dragons suddenly appeared on the field!

“Bang!”

The pink hammer slammed down, and the Rockspine Dragon vanished.

“The Rockspine Dragon used Shadow Clone! Feng Xiaoyun attacked the clone; we don’t know where the Rockspine Dragon’s true form is!” Tao Jia shouted from the high platform.

On the field, lightning continued to strike, and one Rockspine Dragon after another vanished under the bombardment of the lightning’s power.

High-level skills are still too weak; they can’t kill in one hit… Qiao Sang finally issued the command:

“Change.”

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao shouted with a ferocious expression.

The next second, a gale surged, sweeping across the entire field, and almost all the Rockspine Dragons were torn apart by the tearing force and vanished.

With only five Rockspine Dragons remaining on the field, Qingbao vanished in a gust of wind.

Then, she suddenly reappeared beside one of the Rockspine Dragons.

The Rockspine Dragon’s pupils constricted, and it turned to gather energy to unleash a beam of light and launch an attack.

“Boom!”

But just then, a bolt of yellow lightning struck with pinpoint accuracy from the sky.

“Rockspine!”

the Rockspine Dragon screamed, its energy dissipating before it could

fully gather. Simultaneously, the other four Rockspine Dragons vanished.

Qingbao raised her pink giant hammer.

The sky suddenly fell silent; the raging winds and lightning ceased, revealing the bright moonlight.

Countless glittering stars suddenly appeared around the pink giant hammer in Qingbao’s claws.

“Rock!” Thorfinn realized the danger and roared.

However, the successive attacks were too much for the Rockspine Dragons to react to immediately.

The pink giant hammer in Qingbao’s claws suddenly enlarged, transforming into a Star-Moon Hammer condensed from glittering starlight and pink energy.

“Bang!!!”

The giant hammer was raised and slammed down fiercely towards the Rockspine Dragon’s head.

The ground collapsed and caved in, creating a massive crater over 200 meters in diameter, centered on the head of the Rock-Spine Dragon.

PS: Happy National Day everyone!
