Beast Taming: My System is Bugged-Chapter 121 - 120: What? I Actually Lost?

The moment Gu Ming gave the command, Cyan Treasure reacted.

Fang Leng from Class 2 realized this was one of Cyan Treasure’s Skills and that Gu Ming might have a counter. He immediately glanced at his own Pet Beast, Shuiliuliu.

At that moment, Shuiliuliu was busy maintaining the Water Prison Cage, trapping the Little Cyan Snake and preventing it from making any other moves.

Even if Fang Leng knew Cyan Treasure had another move up its sleeve, he couldn’t have Shuiliuliu do anything else unless he was willing to let Cyan Treasure escape.

’But was that necessary?’

The Little Cyan Snake was just a Basic Type Pet Beast. Its commonly accepted method of attack was to use its Body Technique to evade the enemy, then bite the opposing Pet Beast to inject venom. It relied on slow-acting poison to gradually bring down its foe, a strategy that required time to secure victory.

Moreover, Cyan Treasure was helpless against the Water Prison Cage, which was made of Pure Energy, and Shuiliuliu, which was controlling it.

However, he saw Cyan Treasure’s mouth stretch wider and wider. A churning, surging mass of Five-Colored Spiritual Qi seemed to be gathering inside.

His heart sank.

’Storm Ball sounds like a Wind Element Skill. Can this thing really master Wind Element Skills?’

Two seconds later, Cyan Treasure fired. BOOM! Shuiliuliu felt a violent tremor deep within its core, as if its insides were being churned upside down.

The Five-Colored Spiritual Qi erupted, crashing with the force of a tidal wave and producing a deafening roar.

This was no ordinary Breathing Technique, after all. This was a Breathing Technique at the Master Level.

Before launching the attack, Cyan Treasure had already filled its body with Spiritual Qi of various Attributes, holding this move in reserve.

Now, the Spiritual Qi erupted with maximum power.

Shuiliuliu’s Mana was certainly high, but it was still a Pet Beast that hadn’t undergone Evolution. The Water Prison Cage had a limit to how much it could withstand.

And this full-powered Storm Ball was just enough to break past the Water Prison Cage’s limit.

The Spiritual Qi of various Attributes reacted wildly inside the Water Prison Cage, causing a massive explosion. The cage couldn’t withstand the force. With a final BOOM, its watery light shattered, and its form trembled violently, on the verge of completely dispersing.

A hole was blasted open, and Cyan Treasure escaped through it.

Cyan Treasure wasn’t much better off. It was covered in blood and had lost dozens of scales.

But its will was unshaken. The moment it was free, it coiled its core and lunged forward with an agile Head Hammer. Pressing its advantage, it slammed into Shuiliuliu before it could react, leaving the water pet dizzy and disoriented.

Just then, Fang Leng finally realized the danger and yelled, "Shuiliuliu, raise a Water Wall! Now!"

But Shuiliuliu was too disoriented to hear its master’s command. Cyan Treasure hammered it again and again, knocking it to the ground and preventing it from floating back up.

Just then, Gu Ming shouted,

"Keep using Storm Ball, not Head Hammer!"

Physical attacks weren’t very effective against a Pure Energy Water Element Pet like Shuiliuliu.

Cyan Treasure had only attacked with Head Hammer out of instinct.

With Gu Ming’s command taking over the battle, Cyan Treasure paused. It opened its mouth wide, the muscles around it twitching as it rapidly drew the surrounding Spiritual Qi inside.

As the different types of Spiritual Qi converged, they formed a trickle in the air, a stream of multicolored energy flowing into its mouth.

Soon, using its Master Level Breathing Technique, it condensed another massive Storm Ball.

The entire process took no more than seven or eight seconds.

Fang Leng finally panicked, his composure gone. He knelt and used his hands to gather the scattered puddles of water that made up Shuiliuliu’s "body."

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Hearing its master’s call, Shuiliuliu finally came to its senses. It felt the damage to its body, spun around on the ground, and reformed its scattered elemental body into a spherical shape.

However, Cyan Treasure’s second Storm Ball, perfectly timed, shot forward with ferocious momentum and slammed heavily into Shuiliuliu.

In an instant, a thunderous explosion echoed through the forest.

A violent storm of elements erupted. The surrounding trees and grass trembled and swayed wildly. The impact blasted sand and dirt from the ground, sending it flying two or three feet into the air.

Caught in the violent blast, Shuiliuliu was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string.

Gu Ming and Lu You looked up in unison, watching it fall from the billowing smoke of the explosion and collapse onto the ground.

Its once-lively little black eyes were now crosses. Its presence was faint as it fell unconscious.

The proctor on site announced:

"Cyan Treasure wins! Stop the fight!

"Fang Leng, your Pet Beast is no longer able to battle. It needs to be taken for treatment."

Fang Leng clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. He never, ever expected to suffer such a crushing defeat in the comprehensive exam.

Though he was loath to admit defeat, he walked over and gently shook Shuiliuliu. But it had already passed out and couldn’t respond.

Just then, the proctor’s Healing Pet came over. It gathered all the scattered parts of Shuiliuliu’s elemental body and carried it away.

This was the advantage of a pure elemental pet. Even though its body was blown to smithereens, as long as the parts could be collected, it could be easily healed with various treatments.

However, with it being blown apart like that, the treatment costs definitely wouldn’t be cheap.

Meanwhile, Gu Ming successfully received his protection and defeat points. He let out a long sigh of relief as Cyan Treasure returned to his side.

As Fang Leng left the scene, he looked back at Cyan Treasure.

He couldn’t believe that his Pet Beast Shuiliuliu, with Five-star Level potential, had actually lost to Cyan Treasure, a Basic Type Pet Beast with only Two-star Level potential.

Cyan Treasure was just a Little Cyan Snake. Before this, he had never heard of a Little Cyan Snake being able to defeat a Shuiliuliu.

For Cyan Treasure to win today was truly unprecedented, and it struck him a heavy blow.

Fang Leng’s right hand clutched his chest tightly, as if he was having trouble breathing.

Lu You also broke out in a cold sweat over this. She never expected Cyan Treasure to finish the battle all on its own.

But the battle had been incredibly brutal. Cyan Treasure was covered in wounds and stained with blood.

The proctor asked:

"Do you need to go down the mountain for treatment? If you do, it means you’re withdrawing from the battlefield. After all, Cyan Treasure’s injuries look quite serious."

Cyan Treasure’s close-range explosion had also left it heavily injured.

Gu Ming shook his head, declining the proctor’s kind offer.

What the proctor didn’t know was that Cyan Treasure’s Breathing Technique had the ability to restore Physical Strength.

As for its wounds, he could prepare a remedy on the spot to stabilize its condition. It was far from the point of having to withdraw immediately.

’Besides, isn’t Lu You’s Mouse Treasure right here? It’s a perfect opportunity for us to work together and ease Cyan Treasure’s combat pressure.’

Seeing his decision, the proctor didn’t insist. He led Fang Leng and his Pet Beast down the mountain.

Gu Ming had Cyan Treasure continue using its Breathing Technique to rest and recover Physical Strength, while he started planning his search for herbs.

Mouse Treasure, on the other hand, immediately pointed at the big tree. No one was fighting for the medicine bottle underneath it anymore. It could be dug up.

Lu You nodded and had her Mouse Treasure use its Earth Shifting Technique, digging through the soil at the roots of the giant tree to retrieve a small bottle.

The moment the bottle was taken out, it began to glow softly. Its bright, aqua-blue light was quite conspicuous in the green forest.

Gu Ming’s gaze was also immediately drawn to it.

Lu You offered the bottle to Gu Ming. "This is what Fang Leng was after."

Lu You had no intention of keeping it. After all, this was Cyan Treasure’s victory, and she knew she had no right to take the bottle.
