Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

After Pei Zhili and Shen Qingyue's match ended, Gu Ling stood up and handed Xian Jiu to Huang Weiwei: "Weiwei, please look after Xian Jiu for me."

"Okay." Huang Weiwei took Xianjiu.

"Meow~" Xian Jiu settled into a comfortable position and lazily meowed at Gu Ling.

Go, Beast Tamer! Go, Gui Gui!

Don't embarrass me!

The mischievous boy made a face, then patted his belly with a grin: "Hehehe~"

Huang Weiwei and the others went to the rest area, while Gu Ling led the mischievous boy towards the contestants' preparation passage.

On the way, Gu Ling encountered Pei Zhili, who took the initiative to greet her: "Gu Ling."

I've been wanting to see you for a long time.

Gu Ling stopped in her tracks, somewhat surprised, but still politely said, "Congratulations on winning the semi-final."

"I hope my opponent in the final will be you." Pei Zhili smiled amicably.

Pei Zhili lived up to his name; his temperament and demeanor were those of an elite scion carefully cultivated by a prestigious family, with every move exuding etiquette and good upbringing.

"Of course," Gu Ling replied calmly, then walked away.

"...Heh?" The mischievous ghost floated in the air, curiously looking at Pei Zhili. When it saw that Gu Ling was about to leave, it quickly followed.

"In tomorrow's team competition, Gu Ling's pet should also be this mutated gluttonous ghost..." Pei Gang turned his head and glanced at the mischievous ghost that had drifted away, pondering to himself.

A ghost-type pet that has lived in the wild for decades can possess warrior-level strength, which should not be underestimated.

After walking out of the contestant passage, Gu Ling followed the staff's instructions to verify her identity and then went straight to the battlefield.

Across from them, Yu Xiliang from Hailan No. 1 Middle School also arrived with his contracted pet pit bull.

When Yu Xiliang saw the mischievous kid next to Gu Ling, he wasn't surprised: "...As expected, they chose the glutton to go first."

Gu Ling's other pet was only at the Extraordinary level. Even with the pressure of Ghost-type pets being countered by Dark-type pets, she had no choice but to send out Mischievous Ghost.

"Pit Dog, let's finish this quickly." Yu Xiliang glanced at the pit bull.

Yesterday's team match against the Beast Taming Vocational School took a toll on the Pit Bull, and he had just brought it back from the medical room.

"T~" The pit bull had gray-black fur, as if it were wearing a hard armor, and its deep yellow eyes were full of ferocity.

At the same time, Gu Ling waved to the mischievous boy, then tilted his head to indicate the direction of the pit bull: "Mischievous boy, this is your opponent for today. Remember your training match with Teacher Zhou's Crescent Wolf?"

"Be careful not to let it get close; always keep a safe distance."

"If you get caught in close combat, remember to use the Absorb Punch."

The mischievous boy nodded obediently, but his eyes kept wandering around, his pupils darting about as if he were always plotting some prank. Little did he know that he would meet the pit bull's fierce gaze.

"Hehehe~"

The mischievous boy paused for a second, then smiled and waved his chubby little paw at the pit bull.

Mischievous Kid: ╰(￣ω￣ｏ) Hello~

As a result, the mischievous boy received an even more menacing glare from the pit bull.

Pit Bull: (╬▔皿▔)╯ I'll bite you!

After the preparation time ended, the referee's voice rang out as scheduled: "In the second match of the individual semi-finals, Yu Xiliang from Hailan No.1 Middle School will face Gu Ling from Nanping No.1 Middle School. Both players will use only one pet, and neither player may change their pet during the match..."

"The match begins—"

Yu Xiliang and Gu Ling's voices rang out almost simultaneously, one after the other.

"Pit Hound, use Dark Pulse!"

"Shadowball!"

The attack waves from both sides collided and exploded in mid-air. The intense energy fluctuations seemed to rapidly heat up the entire battlefield, and billowing smoke and dust rose, making it difficult to see the surroundings for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the mischievous boy opened his mouth wide and exhaled streams of green smoke, concealing himself within the smoke.

The smoke began to spread in all directions. With the pit bull nowhere to hide, Yu Xiliang shouted, "Use a loud roar into the smoke!"

Gu Ling's eyes flickered slightly.

They've arrived!

The pit bull opened its mouth and let out a piercing howl.

The invisible sound waves quickly penetrated into the smoke, and the mischievous boy hiding inside the smoke covered his head, rolled around, and stumbled to the ground.

"I hate it!"

As soon as Gu Ling's voice rang out, the mischievous boy immediately turned his head and stared straight at the pit bull.

The pit bull froze.

But the next second, the pit bull let out an even louder roar!

"...Hehehe!" The mischievous boy rolled around, clutching his head in pain, his facial features flying everywhere.

Gu Ling felt a slight unease.

...The first time I felt the urge to fail at a skill.

"Shadowball!"

The mischievous boy, enduring the pain, conjured a shadow ball and threw it at the pit bull.

The pit bull swerved to the side, and the barking stopped.

"You little rascal! I'll use 'Hate' again!"

"Pit pit bull! Scream loudly!"

Gu Ling and Yu Xiliang's voices rang out simultaneously.

The mischievous boy grinned mischievously, his eyes fixed on the pit bull.

The pit bull had just opened its mouth, but halfway through, its face became blank, as if it had forgotten something.

Seeing this, Gu Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It worked!

The loud roaring has finally been silenced.

Yu Xiliang's expression hardened slightly, but this was within his expectations. He immediately changed his command: "Move at high speed! Bite!"

The pit bull moved swiftly, leaving afterimages on the field, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the mischievous boy, its sharp fangs bared—

"Strange light!"

The mischievous boy's blood-red pupils seemed to start spinning incessantly, and the pit bull, meeting his gaze, momentarily lost in thought.

"Close your eyes."

As Yu Xiliang's voice rang out, the pit bull seemed to wake from a dream, immediately closing its eyes before it was fully affected by the strange light.

At this moment, the mischievous boy took the opportunity to slip away and hid in the smoke again.

"Tch! Hiding again!" Yu Xiliang clenched his fist and coldly ordered, "Pit Hound, get into the smoke."

The pit bull obediently jumped into the smoke.

After the pit bull entered, the mischievous boy began his intimidation game.

Amidst the thick green smoke, the mischievous ghost's figure appeared and disappeared like a phantom.

The pit bull kept its eyes closed, only sniffing occasionally, its ears perked up.

Finally, when the mischievous boy couldn't resist and used his tongue to lick the pit bull, the pit bull dodged it by sidestepping just as his big tongue was about to touch it.

"Special~"

The pit bull bared its teeth, a wave of malevolent energy gathering in its mouth, which it shot towards the direction of the large tongue.

"...Hehehe!"

The mischievous ghost was so frightened that it quickly retracted its tongue, and then continued to use its shadow clones to create all sorts of ghostly faces, making all sorts of strange noises.

But the pit bull remained unmoved.

The pit bull only reacted when the mischievous creature gathered shadow orbs to attack, nimbly dodging the attacks time and time again.

Outside the smoke, Yu Xiliang showed no worry. He slowly spoke, "Gu Ling, do you think this trick will work on my pit bull?"

"Pit dogs have extremely sensitive hearing and smell, so your gluttonous tricks won't work."

After the mischievous ghost used smoke skills several times to create a favorable battlefield, the organizers urgently installed various high-tech cameras to help the audience see the situation better and avoid being confused.

At this moment, the scene inside the smoke was projected onto the big screen, and not only did the audience look up, but Gu Ling and Yu Xiliang also looked in that direction.

On the screen, the pit bull was not injured at all. On the contrary, as long as the mischievous dog made the slightest noise, a wave of evil energy would hit it.

"The glutton's smoke tactic, which had worked so well before, has failed! The pit bull wasn't fooled by the glutton!" the director exclaimed in surprise.

The mischievous boy maintained the smoke-filled environment while racking his brains to scare and attack the pit bull, but to no avail.

Gradually, the smoke thickened, revealing the mischievous boy's hidden figure.

"Perfect opportunity! The pit bull attacks with a bite!"

The pit bull leaped up, baring its sharp teeth, and lunged at the mischievous boy!

Just as the pit bull was within arm's reach of the mischievous boy, the boy clenched his chubby little paw into a fist and punched the pit bull hard!

[Absorb Fist]

"...Heh!"

"……special!"

Both attacks hit the opponent simultaneously.

The mischievous child fell to the ground, clutching his bitten spot and rolling around in pain: "...Hehehe!"

Pit Bull wasn't much better off; it was hit by a Fighting-type move that it was weak against, and its stamina was also drained.

Soon, the absorbed energy was fed back to the mischievous ghost, restoring it a lot of strength. It floated back into the air, opened its blood-red mouth, and quickly stuck out its big tongue to lick the pit bull.

[Tongue licking]

The pit bull's face twitched, and it instinctively shrank back, feeling a sticky and creepy sensation rising from the soles of its feet, as if all the fur on its body stood on end.

"Hehehe~"

Seeing that the pit bull was disgusted by his own antics, the mischievous boy laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of successfully tricking the dog.

"Pit Hound! Evil Pulse!"

Yu Xiliang hadn't expected the mischievous kid to have a hidden absorption fist technique, so he immediately had to abandon his idea of ​​close-range attack.

"Special~"

The pit bull howled, and evil energy gathered in its mouth.

Just as the Evil Pulse was about to take shape, the pit bull's expression changed, a look of pain appearing in its eyes, interrupting the Evil Pulse skill.

The pit bull fell to the ground, as if it were seriously injured.

"What's going on?!"

Yu Xiliang's expression changed drastically; he was completely taken aback by what had happened.

Why did the pit bull collapse?!

At that moment, the director's astonished voice rang out: "...Poisoning! The pit bull has been poisoned!"

"That's strange. The Gluttonous Ghost is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and we've never seen it use any Poison-type moves. What's going on?"

Seeing the pit bull collapse in agony, Gu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Yu Xiliang:

"It's smoke. The green smoke contains toxins, which is why the color has changed. This is also the result of the naughty boy's poison training during this period."

Previously, when the mischievous ghost used the smoke, he did not add any toxins in order to conceal its special properties.

The pit bull was poisoned without its knowledge when it went into the smoke.

However, since the mischievous creature had only recently undergone poison training, the toxins in its body were not very strong, which is why the pit bull was able to hold out for so long.

Yu Xiliang was stunned.

Smoke? Poison training?

"You little rascal! Use Shadow Ball!"

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

If we don't attack now, what are we waiting for?

"Hehehe~"

The mischievous boy grinned sinisterly, but his hands moved swiftly, constantly conjuring Shadow Balls and hurling them at the pit bull!

boom! boom! boom!

The mischievous creature remembered the beastmaster's last instruction and was determined not to let its guard down. So it unleashed three rounds of Shadow Ball attacks on the pit bull before finally stopping, panting heavily.

When the smoke cleared, the pit bull had already lost consciousness and was unconscious.

"...The pit bull lost its fighting spirit, and the glutton wins! The winner of the second semi-final of the individual competition is Gu Ling from Nanping No. 1 Middle School."

"..."

When the results were announced, the entire audience erupted in even louder cheers.

In a corner of the stands, Pei Zhili turned and left after watching the entire match.

"Hehehe~"

After winning the match, the mischievous boy happily floated towards Gu Ling.

Before the mischievous boy could even pounce into Gu Ling's arms, he became weak halfway down the river, as if he were a ball of cotton about to fall to the ground.

Gu Ling quickly walked over and caught the mischievous boy.

"You little rascal, are you alright?"

The joy of winning the game had mostly dissipated. Gu Ling, carrying the mischievous boy, walked down from the battlefield in a few steps and immediately went to find Zhang Huizi.

Zhang Huizi summoned Dilu Egg and immediately used the Healing Bell skill on the mischievous ghost.

With Diludan's healing, the mischievous boy regained some of his strength and began to reach out his chubby little hands, tugging at Gu Ling's sleeve and staring at Gu Ling expectantly: "...Hehehe~"

Beastmaster~Ghost, are there any rewards?

For example, the new Gluttonous Ghost Mid-Autumn Festival skin in Pet Alliance~

Gu Ling: "..."

The implication was practically slapped in her face.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it." Gu Ling nodded helplessly.

Upon hearing this 'heartbreaking' dark deal, Xian Jiu, who had been carried by Huang Weiwei, immediately issued a strong condemnation: "Meow~"

I want one too!

I want that Thunderclap Cat Wind Chaser Rider skin!

"Okay, I'll buy them all." Gu Ling waved to Xian Jiu.

Seeing that Gu Ling agreed, Xian Jiu happily jumped into Gu Ling's arms and called out in a childish voice, "Meow~".

Cats love Beast Tamers the most! (o=^ェ)o

Gu Ling: "..." Heh, you like my wallet, don't you?

Despite her complaints, while taking the mischievous boy to the medical room for full treatment, Gu Ling took the time to log into Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy's game accounts and bought the two little guys their favorite skins.

Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost have been training hard these past few months. After the friendly match ends, it's time to let the two little guys relax for a while.
