Chapter 369: Showcasing the Power of Bonds?

Upon hearing this, Huang Renbiao narrowed his eyes.

He thought that what the guy was referring to was likely the evolution of Ding Yanjing's Guwei Blossom into Guwei Sunflower.

He wasn't particularly surprised by this.

After all, this matter wasn't kept secret; the teachers at school had been gossiping about it.

If someone like Wang Weidou wanted to dig into Ding Yanjing's information, with his capabilities, it would be easy for him to find out.

But even if he knew, what difference would it make? Since the school hasn't made any official announcements, the rumors would just leave everyone half-believing.

Once Ding Yanjing's Guwei Sunflower showed up, the shock would still be there.

As for developing a tactical plan specifically targeting Guwei Sunflower, he was even less concerned.

Ding Yanjing's Guwei Sunflower was unlike Ruan Yunwen's Glide owl. Its regeneration ability and the connection between it and Ding Yanjing made it unlikely to be toyed with as badly as Glide Owl by the Treasure-Seeking Demon.

Huang Renbiao glanced at the Glide Own, still struggling desperately in the shadow control, and a clear thought flashed through his mind:

With Qiao Sang around, Shengshui High might outshine Litan Beast Tamer High in the next few years of the National Campus Beast Mastering League...

Huang Renbiao steadied his mindset and said, "We didn't intentionally hide it. It's just that the current opponent's strength isn't enough to force Ding Yanjing to use all his tricks."

Heh.

We didn't intentionally hide it... Wang Weidou repeated this sarcastically in his mind.

During the group stage, Ding Yanjing had made Flash-Leaving Crow fight for a whole week. Was he blind?

While the backstage area was filled with hidden tension, the audience in the stands was much more open with their emotions.

"Holy crap! Shadow Control?!"

"Damn, that's impressive! Using the substitution technique during the teleportation gap under such high-intensity attacks!"

"Are you sure this kid's a first-year? This doesn't look like a newbie Beast Tamer at all! She's not even giving commands, just communicating with the beast using her eyes! I couldn't do that!"

"What a clever tactic, first provoking Glide Owl with the Treasure-Seeking Demon to make it lose its mind and waste a lot of energy, then using the substitution technique to make the opponent think they've won and relax their guard, and finally using the ultimate move to reverse the situation. Brilliant!"

"Shadow Control! It's definitely Shadow Control!"

"It is Shadow Control! And it's a 3D-mode Shadow Control!"

"Damn, have I been away from school for too long? How can the Treasure-Seeking Demon ignore so many wind blades and teleport directly to Glide Owl?"

"This shouldn't be teleportation, it's more like... spatial shift..."

"Spatial shift?!"

"What's going on? Two advanced skills?!"

Most of the people here were Beast Tamers. Although not all of them pursued professional Beast Taming, they understood what they were seeing.

To learn advanced skills with a mid-level beast, both talent and time were essential.

Without talent, no amount of time would help, and without enough time, even the greatest talent wouldn't be enough.

Learning advanced skills usually took years.

So, what were they seeing now?

A 15-year-old high school student's Treasure-Seeking Demon had learned two advanced skills?

Is this even possible?!

Regardless of how lively the atmosphere in the stands was, the scene on the field remained solemn.

To become a professional Beast Tamer, one had to focus on the competition and not be swayed by the audience.

"Glide Owl!!!"

After falling from mid-air, Glide Owl didn't immediately faint.

Although it was injured, it was still struggling fiercely, attempting to break free from the shadow control. It was clear it hadn't lost all its strength.

Take advantage of its weakness. Qiao Sang thought.

"Hypnosis!" Qiao Sang called out after thinking for a second.

Unlike Yabao, Little Treasure couldn't use all his skills at the same time.

If they wanted to launch an attack next, the shadow control would surely disappear, and if the attack didn't land well and allowed Glide Owl to retaliate, things could go awry.

Given all of Little Treasure's attack skills, none of them could render Glide Owl completely incapacitated. After some thought, the best option was using the ultimate-level Hypnosis technique.

As long as the two skills used at once were proficient enough, there was no concern about failing to cast one of them.

"Xun!"

Upon hearing is Beast Tamer's command, Little Treasure floated in front of Glide Owl.

"Close your eyes!" As Qiao Sang called out "Hypnosis," Ruan Yunwen quickly steadied her mind and responded, "Glide Owl!"

Glide Owl was still in an enraged state. Its eyes were filled with anger, and it completely ignored its Beast Tamer's command.

Opening its mouth, a terrifying energy began to gather inside.

Close its eyes?

No.

It was going to attack!

Before it could act, the shadow control that had bound Glide Owl quickly extended, wrapping around its mouth, silencing it. Glide Owl's eyes widened, and it began to struggle even harder.

"Close your eyes quickly!" Ruan Yunwen's voice trembled, sounding like she was about to cry.

Upon hearing her voice, Glide Owl hesitated, and its rationality returned slightly. It struggled internally before deciding to close its eyes.

Just as it was about to do so, two more shadows extended from the dark shadow control, prying open its eyelids that weren't fully closed.

"Caw!" Glide Owl cursed angrily.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure chuckled softly as he looked at the large creature in front of him.

He didn't forget its Beast Tamer's words. After a brief smile, his eyes turned violet, and his expression grew serious.

Glide Owl was overwhelmed by drowsiness, his gaze began to blur.

At the same time, the two shadows supporting his eyelids withdrew.

Glide Owl's eyes closed, and its head tilted. It fell asleep.

The audience in the stands erupted into noise, with discussions flying around.

"Glide Owl isn't in the best state, but it wasn't close to being done for. How could it fall asleep from the Treasure-Seeking Demon's hypnosis?"

"It should wake up soon, it's an advanced beast after all..."

"This Treasure-Seeking Demon's Shadow Control and Hypnosis are both very skilled..."

"I know! The kid from Shengshui High must have contracted an elderly Treasure-Seeking Demon! Otherwise, how could it use two advanced skills so proficiently?"

"Bullshit! This Treasure-Seeking Demon looks young, clearly still a child."

On the field,

Ruan Yunwen stared at the sleeping Glide Owl, her eyes unfocused.

Had she lost like this?

This was her last National Campus Beast Mastering League.

There was no way the two-tailed land turtle could defeat Qiao Sang.

She had finally managed to make Glide Owl listen to her, but why...

No, she couldn't accept it!

Ruan Yunwen suddenly cried out in frustration, "Datuo! Wake up! You promised you would stay with me until the end! You promised!"

Her voice seemed to cut through the fog, reaching Glide Owl's ears.

Glide Owl's eyelids twitched slightly.

The live stream camera clearly captured Tongsuoxiao's face.

[Look, its eyelid moved! It's about to wake up.]

[An advanced beast is an advanced beast. This Treasure-Seeking Demon's Hypnosis and Shadow Control are so skilled that it can use them together. It's already so fast to wake up.]

[Why isn't Qiao Sang attacking now? This is driving me crazy!]

[Feels like it's not over yet. Even if Qiao Sang attacks now, Glide Owl would probably only get hurt, but it will wake up.]

[The difference between a mid-level and an advanced beast isn't something you can just brush off. If it were a mid-level beast, it would have been played to death by the Treasure-Seeking Demon by now.]

Both the live audience and the online viewers felt the match wasn't over yet.

On the battlefield.

Wow, is this supposed to showcase the power of bonds by waking up Glide Owl? Qiao Sang's eyelids twitched as she recalled a post she saw analyzing Xu Yixuan summoning Dream Spirit. She spoke aloud:

"Throw it out of the arena."

"Xun~"

Little Treasure stretched out his small toe, and the shadow binding Glide Owl swiftly descended to the ground.

The shadow remained connected to Glide Owl, but it shifted from a three-dimensional mode to a two-dimensional mode.

Then, Little Treasure gently tugged his toe, pulling the shadow, dragging Glide Owl out of the designated area.

Just as the Glide Owl was dragged out of the field, its eyes slowly opened.

At the same time, the whistle sounded, marking the end of the game.

There was silence in the audience, and the live broadcast on the platform was temporarily free of comments.
