Chapter 197: Chapter 187: Counter-Protective Barrier
Zheng Guoping asked, “Did you watch the Beast Tar competition on the channel last night, the one between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu?”
Qiao Sang shook her head, “No, but I did see them trending on the hot search.”
Zheng Guoping looked as if he understood and said, “Indeed, their match was quite spectacular, and it’s normal for it to trend, especially Ning Yu’s explosive battle turtle using the Counter-Protective Barrier. That’s what I want your Fla Listening Dog to train in next.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a mont, “What’s a Counter-Protective Barrier?”
She didn’t rember any skill nad like that among the Fire Attribute Beast’s skills.
Zheng Guoping also paused briefly, “Didn’t it trend? You don’t know?”
“No, they were on the hot search because paparazzi caught Liu Qutong and Ning Yu having dinner together after the match, and they stayed in the sa room in the sa hotel for two hours,” Qiao Sang said innocently.
Liu Qutong and Ning Yu were considered the star contestants of this year’s Yuhua Region competition. So people dug up that they had attended the sa schools from elentary through high school, and quite a few people shipped their couple potential.
Zheng Guoping was dumbfounded.
He thought the hot search discussion was about the exciting match, but it turned out to be romantic gossip?!
Were netizens really that idle?
Despite trying to resist, Zheng Guoping couldn’t help but ask, “Did they really stay in the sa room for two hours?”
“Probably,” Qiao Sang nodded. “At least, that’s what the paparazzi’s photos suggest.”
Zheng Guoping fell silent for a while before getting back to the topic:
“The Counter-Protective Barrier is essentially a tactic. It mainly involves the Pet Beast spinning in place to disperse skill effects from concentrating in one direction to covering a much larger area, transforming an offensive skill into one capable of both offense and defense.”
“Isn’t there a saying online, ‘The best defense is a good offense’? Your Fla Listening Dog has the Fla Vortex skill. It can definitely train in this move.”
Spinning in place?
Qiao Sang pondered thoughtfully, “Teacher, Yaobao doesn’t have a shell like the explosive battle turtle. Won’t it go bald from spinning on the ground?”
Zheng Guoping’s eyelids twitched, and he tried to keep his tone normal, “You can rest assured that Extraordinary Creatures won’t get hurt that easily. If they were, they’d end up in the intensive care room after getting hit a few tis during a match.”
“It’s just that the Fla Listening Dog is not a Ground Type Beast, so training in this move will indeed be a bit more challenging.”
Qiao Sang seriously considered the feasibility of the move.
Difficulty wasn’t a problem, as she had already made preparations for defensive asures.
Yaobao was not only a Fire Attribute Beast but also possessed Psychic Series powers.
Even though Telekinesis was one of the most basic skills in the Psychic Series, as long as it was practiced to the Pinnacle of Profound aning and there was sufficient energy within, one could control heaven and earth with a single move of Psychic Control.
Deflecting an attack skill was even easier.
However, there were many ways to counteract Telekinesis. Firstly, it could be dodged.
Of course, it wasn’t very realistic to dodge Telekinesis at the Pinnacle of Profound aning, but such situations weren’t unheard of.
Additionally, Telekinesis could be interrupted by skills during its execution.
If the opponent was too large or their strength and energy far surpassed one’s own, Telekinesis wouldn’t be effective.
Thinking this way, it seed like having additional defensive asures wouldn’t be a bad idea…
…
6:22 PM.
In the living room.
Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, were huddled together and looking at a video on the smartphone.
The video played on the phone was the very match from yesterday between Liu Qutong and Ning Yu.
In the video, a large pink turtle-like Pet Beast was contracting its limbs into its shell and spinning like a top.
Rings of red flas expanded from this large turtle-like Pet Beast, continuously spiraling outward and soon colliding with dozens of crescent-shaped blue Wind Blades.
The imnse power exploded.
Amidst the red hue, a dium-sized avian Pet Beast screeched as it was harshly knocked to the ground from mid-air.
Qiao Sang took a bite of an apple while sitting on the couch and said, “It’s quite simple, similar to that. You just spin and spray out flas. The main thing is to maintain high-speed spinning while releasing flas. If you then manage not to feel dizzy, that’s good enough.”
“But you are different from it,” Qiao Sang said with a smile while looking at the bewildered Yaobao. “I’ve thought about it; such a move can’t defend 360 degrees without a blind spot. If the opponent has the ability to burrow, this move would be useless.”
“To defend from all angles, we need to spin in the sky,”
“Ya?”
Yaobao was even more bewildered.
How do you spin in the sky?
“When you use telekinesis in the air, just focus on emitting flas and keep your mind clear; let your doppelganger control the spinning of your body with psychic control,” Qiao Sang explained.
Besides the reason she ntioned, another was that Yaobao, after all, didn’t have a Ground Type attribute and had average defense, so it was inevitable to get hurt from high-speed spinning on the ground.
In the sky, it was different; there was no friction, and as long as it didn’t get dizzy while spinning, it could keep going.
As for whether Yaobao could learn, Qiao Sang wasn’t worried in the slightest.
Just last night, it had taken less than an hour to learn Teleportation. Could this kind of skill-based training possibly be harder than learning a new skill?
If other Beast Tars knew Qiao Sang’s thoughts, they would probably be outraged.
You want a pet beast to spin in the sky controlled by its doppelgänger while also releasing flas and maintaining a clear head—is this sothing a normal Beast Tar would say?!
Isn’t a doppelgänger a skill?!
Is it the doppelgänger controlling its spin with psychic control?!
No!
It’s controlling its doppelgänger to use psychic spin on itself!
Look at this, is this sothing humans do?!
Of course, Qiao Sang just thought her idea was great, and so did Yaobao.
“Ya!”
Yaobao nodded vigorously, understanding what had been said; a doppelgänger appeared beside it, ready to start special training imdiately.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang shouted, hurriedly setting down the apple in her hand, “This is the living room!”
“Ya!”
Yaobao yelped, acknowledging her, and then turned with its doppelgänger to head toward the courtyard.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang halted it again, “Don’t go just yet.”
“Ya?”
Yaobao looked at its Beast Tar, tilting its head to the side.
Isn’t it training ti?
While initiative was a good thing, could it at least listen until she had finished what she was saying… Qiao Sang said helplessly, “Let’s take this step by step. If you get dizzy and fall from the sky, what are we going to do? First, we need to train your dizziness resistance.”
“Ya!”
Yaobao’s eyes lit up, the expression of an epiphany on its face.
Her Beast Tar might be sowhat poor, but she was smart!
“Let’s do it right here in the living room. Don’t rise into midair yet, just let your doppelgänger control the spinning with psychic control, and don’t emit any flas—just spin,” Qiao Sang said.
“Yaya.”
Yaobao nodded, took the position, and prepared to be spun.
The doppelgänger’s eyes glowed blue.
“Xun Xun!”
Just then, Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost appeared in front of Yaobao and let out two cries, wanting it to stop.
Then Xiao Xunbao turned to Qiao Sang and patted its chest.
“Xun Xun!”
“Do you want to help Yaobao with the spinning?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xun~”
