Chapter 953: Chapter 774: The Last Match of This Session is Over! (Two in One)

The combination skill of Flame Stride and Flame Explosion... Waves of shock surged in Qiao Sang’s mind.

She had spent her rest time yesterday and today studying Apollo, and had watched several highlight compilations of Bimo Fox’s matches. None of them featured this combination skill, so the attack just now was entirely beyond her expectations.

Even though the shockwave and flames obstructed her view of how Xun Xun handled it, she could still sense its condition.

It was clear that in the critical instant of the explosion, the defensive armor played a vital role, as only Xun Xun’s left claw had suffered severe damage.

Taking advantage of the moment when the defensive item was still holding up, Xun Xun deployed its Substitute.

Had the defensive tool or the Substitute been absent, Xun Xun would likely have been defeated directly by this combination skill...

The opponent was hiding way too much... Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at Apollo in the distance.

No one else has her Golden Finger, so it’s impossible to achieve a high proficiency for both skills in such a short time, let alone merge them.

To master a powerful combination skill, one must invest considerable time.

But the fact that Bimo Fox had a combination skill of Flame Stride and Flame Explosion with no prior news surfacing,

This is truly odd for someone like Apollo, who is under constant public scrutiny as a star competitor. Even his personal life and training routines often get captured and shared.

As these thoughts flashed through her mind, her peripheral vision caught sight of Bimo Fox bending down to pick something up.

An opportunity! Qiao Sang froze her thoughts and instinctively shouted:

"Control!"

"Xun Xun!"

As soon as she spoke, Xun Xun immediately vanished into the air, teleporting to the ground, placing its right claw on Bimo Fox’s shadow.

"Bimo!"

Bimo Fox shot an intense glare and flung its hand without hesitation.

The Fire Coin was instantly engulfed in flames, transforming into a streak of fire that charged forward in a straight line.

Just when the Fire Coin was only two meters away from Xun Xun, it suddenly froze mid-air!

The commentator was momentarily dumbfounded by the scene unfolding in the arena.

His first reaction was to assume that Ghost Ring King used Psychic Control to halt the Fire Coin, but Ghost Ring King’s eyes weren’t glowing blue at all.

The commentator swiftly thought of something else and glanced at the ground.

His eyes lit up, and he passionately explained:

"Ghost Ring King has used Shadow Control to stop Bimo Fox’s attack! This level of speed and reflex is astonishing!"

The audience, still grasping to make sense of the situation, began shifting their gaze towards the shadow connecting Ghost Ring King and Bimo Fox on the ground.

At the point where their shadows joined, an extra slender shadow had somehow branched off and connected to the Fire Coin’s shadow!

A collective gasp erupted from the spectator stands as they struggled to remain composed after witnessing such an operation.

"Ghost Ring King actually used Shadow Control to seize control of the incoming Fire Coin?!"

"I didn’t know Shadow Control could be used like this!"

"You clearly haven’t watched enough matches. Spectral-type Pet Beasts using Shadow Control to manipulate an opponent’s tools is not uncommon in competition. However, to directly control a tool mid-attack, like Ghost Ring King just did, is still quite rare. At least at this level of competition, this is the first time I’ve seen it."

"Tools are easier to manipulate, but controlling an item like Fire Coin during a high-speed attack is absolutely no small feat. The trajectory may be straightforward since it moves in a straight line, but the requirement for visual acuity and precise timing is incredibly demanding. One miscalculation, and the connection fails entirely."

"Honestly, Ghost Ring King is bold for attempting this. Against an attack of this speed, if the technique failed, evading the blow wouldn’t even be an option anymore."

"Explode!" Amid the crowd’s discussions, Apollo shouted loudly.

"Xun Xun!"

Xun Xun perked up its ears and made a small forward motion with its toes.

The shadow tied to the Fire Coin shot upwards towards Bimo Fox’s position.

At the same time, with a loud "bang," the Fire Coin abruptly detonated.

"Bimo!"

The shockwave rippled outward with the flames, and Bimo Fox, caught within its radius, let out a piercing scream of anguish.

Apollo’s pupils contracted sharply.

He hadn’t anticipated Ghost Ring King’s reflexes to be this rapid, nor its judgment of the battlefield to be this frighteningly accurate.

Typically in pet battles, aside from listening to their Beast Tamer’s commands, Pet Beasts react to the movements of their opponents.

But just now, Bimo Fox hadn’t even set off the Fire Coin’s explosion—it had merely shouted a command first.

Yet Ghost Ring King managed to make the Fire Coin launch towards Bimo Fox’s position before Bimo Fox could detonate it.

Ghost Ring King had predicted based purely on Apollo’s command...

Truthfully, this was the first time since Apollo became a Beast Tamer that he’d encountered an opponent’s Pet Beast adapting to his instructions. This was entirely unprecedented...
