Chapter 509: Chapter 305: The Gap (Part 3)

That’s why when Shan Bao received the blow, he’d deliberately had it use Gold Vein Overload in the opposite direction to cancel out guitar’s attack.

"I don’t care what trick you used... guitar’s defense isn’t that easy to break!"

Li Shiyu still refused to give up.

And guitar immediately regrouped, resuming its initial parrying stance—Slow Wave Variation.

Just like its offense, the Flowing Water Fighting Ape’s defense could be greatly enhanced by the sound of flowing water at a specific rhythm.

Rash attackers would often find their own momentum used against them, as the Flowing Water Fighting Ape reversed the tide with a swift counter.

’Li Shiyu knew that a single Pet Beast couldn’t excel at everything. Shan Bao’s defense had certainly exceeded her expectations, but that meant its offensive threat shouldn’t be very high!’

In a way, Li Shiyu was right.

However, Yu Bao, watching from the sidelines, flashed a knowing smile...

"Chirp!"

Then, Shan Bao pulled a basketball out of its Flash Gold Space.

The entire arena went quiet.

The referee didn’t intervene, as all items had been inspected pre-match and were considered part of the Pet Beast’s Skills. And so, amid the silence, Shan Bao pulled out a custom-made, center-part wig and placed it on its head.

"!" Li Shiyu’s eyes widened as she instantly realized what was happening. But it was too late...

"Chirp—chirp chirp chirp!"

Accompanied by the off-key chicken calls, Shan Bao balanced on the basketball and began to dance.

Yet no matter how off-key its chirping was, not a single spectator failed to recognize it. The power of the two-and-a-half-year trainee was already deeply seared into the soul of every Yudi person!

And since the Flash Gold Sparrow was also nicknamed the Shimmering Free-Range Chicken, Shan Bao’s dance moves were stacked with buffs, transcending the performance itself!

The stands erupted. Applause thundered, and some people spontaneously began to sing that familiar phrase.

The live stream chat also exploded with comments:

[Golden Rare]: U mad bro? U askin’ for it? Your moves are fire!

[Jade Balance 001]: I used to really like God Su, but now...

[A Scum White Hair]: You like him even more now? /smirk

[Su Zhi’s Doggy]: That Time All the Beast Tamers I Followed Turned Out to be Xiaohanzi.

[Day after Day]: The main thing is, how is Shan Bao so good at that...?

"As the saying goes, ’Fair-weather fans flock at the peak, but true believers are seen at dusk!’ Setting aside whether he’ll get a cease and desist, God Su’s move was a stroke of absolute genius for this match, completely turning the tables!"

Lu Dongjie shot to his feet. "Faced with this unexpected assault, guitar is clearly unable to keep up its defense. Shan Bao has broken its rhythm!"

Yes, the Flowing Water Fighting Ape was heavily reliant on its sense of rhythm.

Therefore, in addition to the various music tracks their Beast Tamers prepared, the apes themselves also enjoyed listening to music and watching videos to relax.

For that very reason, the sound of the trainee—whose influence lasted far longer than two and a half years—was something guitar was all too familiar with.

As Shan Bao pulled out the familiar costume, hummed the familiar tune, and performed the familiar dance, that maddeningly catchy melody began to play on a loop in guitar’s head.

The audience’s spontaneous sing-along was the final straw. There was no coming back for guitar.

’What waves? What variation?’

’It was all chaos!!’

’All it could hear in its head was that one phrase, echoing over and over like a nightmare!’

"Chirp!"

Seizing the opening, Shan Bao launched a surprise attack.

With Hardening and Super Heavy Gold Fall at full power, and Gold Vein Overload providing immense propulsion, Shan Bao shot forward like a cannonball and slammed squarely into guitar.

Already balanced only on its tail, guitar had no way to resist. It was sent flying by Shan Bao’s charge, soaring until it hit the Energy Barrier of the adjacent arena and slid down limply like a wet noodle.

[Assignable Attribute Points (Shan Bao): ...0.05]

The referee declared Su Zhi the victor. In this round of the tournament, Shanyou achieved a clean 3-0 sweep over Ganpo, earning +3 team points.

During the post-match handshake, Li Shiyu couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.

"You can’t do that... You’re such bullies!"

Su Zhi coughed a couple of times. After leaving the stage, he gave Yu Bao a sharp flick on the forehead.

"You taught it that, didn’t you!"

"Ouch," Yu Bao winced, putting his feet together and adopting an expression of pure innocence.

What bad thoughts could a good Dog possibly have?

Someone standing nearby with their hands in their pockets just shook their head.

’Wow, this guy... no, wait, this Dog...’

The tournament matches continued from 2:30 PM until well past 6:00 PM, with no end in sight.

After all, with over thirty provinces participating, each team had to compete twice today to keep the tournament on schedule.

Not to mention the handful of stall-fests. If two Pet Beasts skilled at turtling were to face each other, the match would drag on until the end of time, grinding even the Great Dao to dust.

"Brother Shu, why don’t we go eat first?" Liu Yuhang looked around. Many spectators had left, as attendance wasn’t mandatory anyway.

Of course, many people stayed behind. Some were waiting for the teams they supported to compete, while others were fellow contestants who didn’t want to miss a chance to observe their rivals.

For this very reason, most Beast Tamers didn’t go all-out during the preliminary tournament rounds, some even intentionally throwing a match or two if they had points to spare.

Going all-out in the preliminaries like Li Shiyu was rare. But then again, her team was already down 2-0; if she didn’t fight tooth and nail, they were facing a total shutout.

At the mention of food, Katie and Cao Mingyu immediately shot to their feet.

Su Zhi was about to agree, but then he saw the schedule and sat back down. "Shanda University Affiliated School is up next. I think I’ll watch their match first."

Fang Yuan shook his head. "I’ll stay too."

"If you’re not going, just tell me what you want. I can bring food back for everyone," Shao Ya said, patting Su Zhi’s shoulder. "What’ll you have, Su Baby? The usual?"
