As they moved to a position about thirty meters in front of the Ink Stinger Beast, it blew a hardly noticeable poison stinger from its mouth, shooting straight towards Little Treasure Hunter.
The speed was so fast that it was almost instantly within a centimeter of Little Treasure Hunter.
Suddenly, the poison needle stopped.
The Ink Stinger Beast was momentarily stunned, then seemed to sense something and looked down.
Only to see an identical opponent appear below out of nowhere.
The only difference was its eyes were glowing blue.
Seeing an identical Ghost Ring King suddenly appear on the field, the audience was briefly silent, then an uproar followed:
"What the hell? How is there another Ghost Ring King?"
"A substitute? I remember Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King can use a substitute, and it’s quite proficient at that."
"The question is, when on earth was this substitute used! Look, it’s using Telekinesis to hold the poison needle; it clearly didn’t just appear!"
"No, both Ghost Ring Kings used skills, so how can you be sure it’s the substitute using Telekinesis?"
On the field.
A substitute? Qi Fuqing was confused.
When exactly was the substitute used?!
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter grinned, bypassing the stalled poison needle, twisted in an agile arc, and continued spinning quickly around the Ink Stinger Beast to entangle it.
Finally stopping at a spot about twenty meters in front of the Ink Stinger Beast, unaffected by the ink, it grabbed the shadow, pulling hard in an overhead throw position.
Everyone couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of a pet beast only a few dozen centimeters tall trying to perform an overhead throw on a more than six-meter-tall pet beast.
Qi Fuqing’s eyes lit up, shouting:
"Surf!"
The Ink Stinger Beast’s eyes glowed blue.
But before it could release the surfing move, in front, at the same moment Little Treasure Hunter was pulling the shadow in an overhead throw position, the shadow connected to the Ink Stinger Beast about twenty meters away suddenly appeared, mirroring Little Treasure Hunter’s position and pulling the shadow forcefully.
"Momo!"
The Ink Stinger Beast was instantly lifted off the ground, tracing a graceful arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Qi Fuqing was momentarily stunned, then upon realizing something, turned towards the position of the other Ghost Ring King.
"Xun Xun~"
The Ghost Ring King with clasped hands seemed to sense the gaze, turned, and grinned at her.
Qi Fuqing: "!!!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
As the Ink Stinger Beast hit the ground, Little Treasure Hunter turned back, rotating its stubby toes, and the shadow spread wildly, quickly wrapping around its entire body like a cocoon.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter breathed a sigh of relief, then upon realizing something, removed the shadow.
"Momo..."
Underneath the shadow, the Ink Stinger Beast had its eyes closed, but immediately its facial expression showed a hint of struggle, as if it was trying hard to open its eyes.
Just as the Ink Stinger Beast’s eyelids slightly lifted, Qiao Sang spoke:
"Chop!"
Little Treasure Hunter and the substitute simultaneously raised their hands, their claws gathering intense white light, and fiercely chopped towards the head of the Ink Stinger Beast.
The Ink Stinger Beast finally stopped moving completely.
Little Treasure Hunter and the substitute simultaneously wiped nonexistent sweat off their foreheads.
Afterwards, the substitute grinned at Little Treasure Hunter and disappeared.
A Mechanical System Beast Referee appeared beside the Ink Stinger Beast, observed it for a moment, then waved a green flag towards where Little Treasure Hunter and Qiao Sang were.
In the center of the field, a giant virtual screen appeared, with Qi Fuqing’s photo disappearing, leaving only Qiao Sang’s photo magnified in the middle.
Light and shadow fireworks bloomed in a small area above the photo.
Tian Yiwang’s voice rang out over the field:
"Let’s congratulate contestant Qiao Sang on taking this round with a 3:0 record, successfully advancing to the quarter-finals!"
