On the battlefield, Zhang Ze raised his hand to outline a summoning circle: "Charcoal-headed turtle, come out."
A pet turtle, whose whole body looked like it was bathed in hot lava, slowly walked out.
"Charcoal~" As the charcoal-headed turtle roared, a cloud of black mist came out of the vent on the back of the turtle's shell.
On the other side, Gu Ling raised his hand and rubbed Xianjiu's head: "Xianjiu, it's time to play."
Xianjiu first rubbed Gu Ling's palm, then jumped off Gu Ling's shoulder and walked into the battle arena with elegant steps.
The referee outside the battlefield spoke out: "In the third match of the top 16 of the individual competition, Qingchuan No. 1 Middle School Zhang Ze played against Nanping No. 1 Middle School Gu Ling. Both sides will use one pet each. They are not allowed to change pets midway."
"--Game start!"
"Miwu~"
As soon as the game started, Xianjiu spontaneously used the high-speed shadowless step.
The combination of high-speed movement and shadow clones, for a time, most of the battle field was filled with Xianjiu's running figure.
Facing the attack of several 'Thunder Seal Cats', Zhang Ze calmly said: "Charcoal-headed turtle, use smoke."
spray! spray!
The vent on the charcoal-headed turtle's shell suddenly spewed out a large amount of black mist, spreading outward.
Several 'Xianjiu' ran into the black mist, but because they could not see anything in the black mist, their speed slowed down for a while.
"Charcoal-headed turtle, use high-speed rotation."
The limbs and head of the charcoal-headed turtle retracted into the turtle shell at the same time, and the entire turtle shell began to move toward the black mist while rotating at high speed.
One, two, three... Xianjiu's clones were constantly attacked and disappeared.
"Xianjiu, use discernment." Gu Ling reminded.
A flash of blue light flashed in Xianjiu's cat eyes, and he quickly saw the position of the charcoal-headed turtle clearly in the thick black fog.
At the moment when he was about to be hit by the charcoal-headed turtle, Xianjiu used teleportation in time to avoid the attack.
Seeing Xian Jiu running away, Zhang Ze snorted coldly: "Are you just going to run away?"
"Xianjiu, use Iron Tail." Gu Ling clenched his fists, with anger on his face.
Xianjiu's tail lit up in a metallic color and struck in the direction of the charcoal-headed turtle!
"The charcoal-headed turtle, shrink into the shell." Zhang Ze said.
Xianjiu's iron tail hit the charcoal-headed turtle's shell, sending the latter flying out.
But this blow obviously did not cause any harm to the charcoal-headed turtle.
But when Gu Ling saw this scene, his eyes brightened slightly.
coming!
Gu Ling immediately issued an order: "Use teleportation to follow up! Use Iron Tail continuously!"
"It's time to whip up a top."
Xianjiu chuckled, and according to the tactics planned from the beginning, he arrived in front of the charcoal-headed turtle in an instant. Before the charcoal-headed turtle had time to poke its head out, he hit the iron tail again, and the turtle shell spun again.
So, this scene appeared at the scene——
Xianjiu kept slapping the charcoal-headed turtle with its tail.
The charcoal-headed turtle is like a top, spinning rapidly and uncontrollably and never stopping.
From time to time, the sound of the charcoal-headed turtle, which was in a bad state, came from inside the turtle shell.
Zhang Ze's expression changed: "Charcoal-headed turtle! Get rid of the control quickly."
"Use Sparkle!"
The head of the charcoal-headed turtle had been shrunk inside the shell, so sparks spurted out and flew in all directions.
"It's too late." Gu Ling raised his lips and smiled: "Xianjiu, use your telekinesis to continue spinning the top."
If there were flying sparks coming, Xianjiu would not change his position, but would directly use the reflecting wall to block the sparks.
Because of the sparks, Xianjiu no longer used his iron tail to approach the charcoal-headed turtle, but instead used his mind power to control the charcoal-headed turtle to continue spinning.
When the broadcaster of the game saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect it! The thunder-marked cat can actually maintain the reflective wall while controlling the charcoal-headed turtle with telekinesis!"
Gu Ling felt extremely calm.
What's this?
Xianjiu often multitasked at home, or even multitasked four times, and was used to it.
Seeing that the charcoal-headed turtle was almost exhausted, Gu Ling said: "Xianjiu, give the charcoal-headed turtle one last blow, one hundred thousand volts!"
The stunned charcoal-headed turtle was unable to defend itself. After being hit by a hundred thousand volts, it lost its fighting consciousness.
"The charcoal-headed turtle lost its fighting consciousness, and the thunder-marked cat won! The winner of this game is Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 Middle School!"
"..."
After the game, Gu Ling took Xianjiu back to the rest area, and Huang Weiwei and the others immediately greeted them.
"Wow! Ling Ling! Xian Jiu! You are so awesome!" Huang Weiwei's eyes were bright, as if they were shining with admiration.
He Siruo also looked surprised and happy at this time: "I didn't expect that you let Xianjiu use the charcoal-headed turtle as a top to spin him unconscious."
"It was Xianjiu who inspired me. Xianjiu is a great contributor." Gu Ling touched Xianjiu's head.
Xianjiu raised his head proudly: "Miwu~"
That's right~
This meow is so spicy~
"Zihan, it's time for your top 16 to start, right?" Gu Ling turned to look at Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan was looking in a certain direction of the auditorium. When he heard this, he nodded: "Yes."
Gu Ling held Xianjiu in his arms, and when he saw the scars on Xianjiu's legs that were burned by sparks, he said, "I'll take Xianjiu to the medical room for a checkup first, and then I'll watch your game later. "
The proficiency of Xianjiu's reflective wall was too low, and he could not completely prevent the spark attack, so he suffered a small injury.
"good."
"..."
A few hours later.
The results of all the top 16 individual competitions are out.
Xia Zihan and Lu Jiuwen both won the top 16.
But what surprised Gu Ling was that Pei Gang actually lost.
Gu Ling called up the schedule and saw that Pei Gang's opponent was Pei Zhili, the captain of Yushou Vocational High School, and he immediately understood.
Pei Gang's luck was not very good. In the first individual competition, he faced the group of freaks from Yushou Vocational High School, and he also faced the captain among the freaks.
"...Huh? Both of these two people are named Pei?"
The surname Pei was not a popular surname, and seeing two of them at once made it difficult for Gu Ling not to wonder whether Pei Zhili and Pei Gang were related.
When everyone was eating together at noon, Gu Ling asked this question by the way, and received an affirmative answer from Pei Gang.
"Yes, he is my cousin..."
"Pei Zhili is your cousin?!" Lou Huayu's shocked voice spread throughout the private room.
Pei Gang nodded: "Well, my cousin is the most talented in beast control in this generation of our family."
Lu Jiuwen on the side asked: "Pei Zhili is studying at Yushou Vocational Middle School, why did you come to Nanping No. 1 Middle School?"
Lu Jiuwen had investigated Pei Gang as early as the placement test, and now he had investigated Yushou Vocational High School in advance during the friendly match, so Lu Jiuwen knew the relationship between the two.
Pei Gang: "I transferred to another school."
"Why do you want to transfer schools?"
"The education level of Yushou Vocational Middle School is many times better than that of Nanping No. 1 Middle School. Pei Gang, why can't you think about it and transfer here?"
Others were a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just don't like Beast Control Vocational High School..." Pei Gang didn't want to say anything more.
"I understand!"
Lou Huayu suddenly realized.
Immediately, a lot of messy things came to mind.
For example, there is a drama about brothers fighting each other to inherit the family property.
After finishing speaking, Lou Huayu looked at Pei Gang with bright eyes for confirmation: "Is it true?"
"Classmate Lou, tell me honestly, how many books do you secretly read at school?" Zhou Mengran crossed his arms and smiled kindly.
"Ah~" Lou Huayu's face collapsed: "Teacher Zhou, I don't! I study very seriously!"
He Siruo raised his hand with a serious expression: "Teacher Zhou, I reported Lou Huayu. I borrowed his mobile phone before and saw that he had seven or eight apps downloaded on his mobile phone."
"Siruo, you betrayed me..." Lou Huayu covered his heart with a pitifully shocked look on his face.
Seeing Lou Huayu playing tricks like this, Zhou Mengran shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "It depends, but don't affect your normal study, otherwise I will confiscate your phone."
All joking aside, Zhou Mengran still believed in Lou Huayu's self-control.
If you don't even have basic self-control, how can you maintain the top ten results in the elite class for three consecutive months?
"Definitely!" Lou Huayu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster, with a big smile on his face.
Fortunately, his spiritual food was saved!
On the side, Gu Ling noticed that Pei Gang's mood was a little depressed, so he came over and patted Pei Gang on the shoulder: "There is still a team competition."
"What you lose, we will help you win back in the team competition."
Pei Gang looked slightly startled.
After hearing Gu Ling's words, others also agreed.
"That's right."
"When you wait for the team competition, I'll be your cheerleader and beat up that beast-controlling vocational high school!"
Pei Gang thanked him softly: "Thank you."
"Next, we should consider the roster for tomorrow's game against Yulan Middle School." Lu Jiuwen reminded.
"In the first few team games of Yulan Middle School, Bai Xiuwen was the starter, and the other two official members of Yulan Middle School had electric beasts. Except for He Siruo's little water leopard, which was not suitable for fighting, Pei Gang and Xia Zihan’s strength can be dealt with completely.”
"We can not go head-to-head with Bai Xiuwen. The outcome of the first game does not matter, as long as we win the second and third games."
Xia Zihan asked with a smile: "Tian Ji is racing?"
"Yeah." Lu Jiuwen nodded and continued: "One more thing."
"After defeating Magnolia Middle School in the best of three games, the opponent is likely to start the Qiankun Tournament again. The opponent is Bai Xiuwen. Based on the intelligence information obtained so far, she is only a one-star beast master and has only contracted with Skeleton Nighthawk."
"Bai Xiuwen cannot change the pet beast, so we must find a way to use up the Skeleton Nighthawk's energy as much as possible in the first game to give Gu Ling more chances to win."
He Siruo was a little regretful that he could not play, but he was more curious about who would play the first game: "In this case, the candidates for the first game should not be chosen too casually."
Lu Jiuwen said quietly: "I'm going to fight."
Hearing this, Xia Zihan frowned slightly and disagreed a little: "Your three-tailed fire fox was seriously injured in the top 16 of today's individual competition. He shouldn't have fully recovered by tomorrow, right?"
Lu Jiuwen was in the top 16 of the individual competition today and had a hard time winning.
The opponent was affiliated with Hai Lan, and his pet beast was of water attribute, so his strength was not bad, and he suppressed the three-tailed fire fox throughout the game.
If the three-tailed fire fox hadn't triggered the fierce fire characteristic at the last moment, the power of the fire-based skills increased greatly, catching the opponent off guard, and the game would have been lost.
"Why don't you let me play the first game? My mini-doll is a ghost type. It's not easy for Skeleton Nighthawk to defeat the mini-doll." Xia Zihan also wanted to play the first game and put forward his own ideas.
Lu Jiuwen retorted: "Although the mini doll is a ghost type, the Skeleton Nighthawk is already a warrior level. The gap in strength level cannot be made up by pure attribute restraint."
"The Mini Doll will definitely be seriously injured after fighting Skeleton Nighthawk. When the day after tomorrow comes the top 8 of the individual competition, your opponent will be a player from Hailan No. 1 Middle School. It will be difficult for the Mini Doll to win the game if he has not fully recovered. "
The reason why Lu Jiuwen proposed to let him play the first game was because he had already planned to sacrifice his top 8 in the individual competition.
Xia Zihan's mini doll was not seriously injured and could continue the game in its best condition. There was no need to waste it in the team competition.
"However, your three-tailed fire fox is seriously injured, which will also affect your subsequent individual competitions."
"I have my own plan for the game the day after tomorrow..."
"If you have any idea, wouldn't it be the same when my mini doll appears?"
"..."
The two began to argue with each other.
He Siruo and the others looked on anxiously, but they couldn't say anything.
The strength of the other two official members of Yulan Middle School is not too weak, but the strength of He Siruo and others is still a little bit behind, and there is no way to guarantee victory in the game.
Gu Ling was feeding fruits to Xianjiu, then released the naughty ghost and gave him a plate of snacks to eat.
Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, Gu Ling raised his hand and suggested: "I can also let Xianjiu play."
"no!"
"no!"
The two people who were arguing retorted in unison.
"Gu Ling, you are the strongest and can go further than us in the individual competition. Although you have two pet beasts, if you can retain your strength, keep it as much as possible." Lu Jiuwen said.
Like Lu Jiuwen and others, they only have one contracted pet beast, so in addition to winning every game, they also have to be careful not to cause the pet beast to suffer too serious injuries.
Otherwise, even if you win this game, if the beast fails to fully recover later, it will affect the next game.
Xia Zihan nodded in agreement: "Yes, after the top 8 of the team competition, it will be followed by the top 8 of the individual competition. The naughty guy will face the Skeleton Nighthawk. You can't guarantee that the naughty guy will be unscathed, right?"
"Then the remaining Xianjiu must keep it in its best condition to face the top 8 in the individual competition."
Zhou Mengran, who had never spoken, interrupted at this moment: "Our school's best results in individual competitions in recent years have been in the top 8. It has been a long time since any student has reached the top 4."
"Gu Ling, you are Nanping No. 1 Middle School's best hope of reaching the top four of this individual competition, so you can't make any mistakes." Wan Endong also said solemnly.
"...Okay then." Feeling the heavy responsibility, Gu Ling had no choice but to put down the hand he had just raised.
"You two, stop fighting. I'll play the first game." Facing everyone's gaze, Pei Gang smiled with an indifferent expression: "I have been eliminated in the individual competition, and now I feel relaxed."
"And we have to fight Skeleton Nighthawk. With the armored dragon's defense, it will definitely last longer than the two of you, so it's best for me to fight the first game."
Before anyone could say anything, Pei Gang turned to look at Lu Jiuwen: "Lu Jiuwen, take care of the three-tailed fire fox tonight and try to restore it to its best condition."
"Don't lose."
Lu Jiuwen was silent for a few seconds, and then said calmly: "I will win."
Seeing that the discussion was finally settled, Huang Weiwei and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes! We will all win the top 8 in the team competition tomorrow!"
"Must win!"
"..."
In the corner, Zhang Huizi turned to look at Zhou Mengran and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Zhou, are you just going to let the students make their own decisions?"
Rationally speaking, letting Lu Jiuwen sacrifice his top 8 in the individual competition can best ensure that the team competition can achieve a stable chance of winning.
Zhou Mengran smiled slightly: "Isn't this good? I can't think of a better tactic."
"Although we are teachers, sometimes we still have to look at the students' own choices."
