Chapter 9: Hot on the Internet
“What nonsense is a thunder-type Battle Pet Master like you doing here? You traitor, go to hell!”
The captain of the Divine Leaf Team nearly fainted at Liuliu Yue’s outrageous words.
Most Battle Pet Masters, from their first Battle Pet to their last, choose the same attribute, specializing in a single type and showing fanatical dedication to that type of Battle Pet. Battle Pet Masters who abandon their inherent type are not qualified to continue evolving—this is the most fundamental principle.
The fact that both of them were masters of thunder-type Battle Pets, yet instead of championing thunder-type pets, they were praising gold-type Battle Pets—it truly shattered her worldview.
As the woman’s angry words faded, Tipsy Dragon Song immediately raised its hand to cast a spell, releasing a thunderbolt toward the black-haired youth below.
“Boom!!”
Lightning struck in the next instant.
Seeing this terrifying attack descending like a dragon’s claw, Liuliu Yue could only clutch Thunder Element, crouch down, close her eyes, and helplessly await death.
From the spectators’ perspective, watching the black-haired youth’s poor performance, Feng Qinqin felt embarrassed before her two companions’ gazes and scratched her face.
Strange, why was Su Huan acting like this again…?
Even when facing a mature-stage opponent with no chance of winning, one should at least try to resist.
“Yesterday we had such powerful firepower, how did this happen?”
“What on earth is going on?”
“It’s like a completely different person…”
“Yes, just like the end-of-month simulation battle!”
After realizing this blind spot, Feng Qinqin exclaimed in disbelief. However, regardless of any hidden secrets, one shouldn’t act so poorly at such a crucial moment. He would definitely be blacklisted this time—the captain would never invite him again for friendly matches or other events.
“Boom!!!”
The next second, a bursting electric arc from above struck Liuliu Yue and Thunder Element directly. Trees and rocks within a hundred meters turned to charcoal. The surrounding area of blackened ground collapsed. Such an attack should have been fatal to both the Battle Pet Master and even the defense-type infancy-stage battle pet.
Quadra kill completed!
However…
Just as Tipsy Dragon Song, floating in mid-air, leisurely turned around to seek out the Tianfeng Academy team captain for a final showdown, it suddenly sensed something unusual. Its floating lightning ball head abruptly turned 180 degrees, staring fixedly at the area below.
“……”
“……”
“Zzzzzz—”
As the smoke cleared, the black-haired young man’s figure reappeared. He was surrounded by a numbing electromagnetic field, with Thunder Element still tightly held in his arms. Despite the lightning snakes moving around him and electric arcs entwining his body, he remained completely unharmed.
Tipsy Dragon Song stood staring in utter bewilderment at this impossible sight.
Liuliu Yue, who had kept her eyes tightly shut, carefully opened them and noticed the extremely unusual changes in her body. Even she was left speechless.
“Huh, am I still alive?”
Liuliu Yue muttered in confusion.
Suddenly, she recalled something from before her rebirth. Five years ago, when she first joined the Sky Calamity expedition team, the authorities had strictly forbidden thunder-type Battle Pet Masters from participating in the expedition. They claimed Thunder Element possessed the highest quality thunder-type immunity skill, and Su Huan had indeed proven through countless battles that no thunder-type battle pet could harm him.
“But…”
“This Thunder Element clearly doesn’t have any defense skills, right?”
“And I’ve been attacked too—how could I be completely unharmed?”
Feeling the strange sensation in her body, Liuliu Yue wondered if Su Huan harbored deeper secrets, or if perhaps the leaders of White Moon State had deceived them all.
While Liuliu Yue pondered this, Tipsy Dragon Song stubbornly released three consecutive lightning attacks, each booming through the nearby area. Though they appeared powerful, they failed to harm either person or pet below. More incredibly, Liuliu Yue noticed that after absorbing the remaining power from the Lightning Strikes, Thunder Element’s Resonance Value began to increase significantly:
[0.3%]
[1%]
[5%]
[11%]
Finally, after absorbing everything, the Resonance Value settled at [26%]. Though not particularly high, it was enough to release skills normally.
Just then, Tipsy Dragon Song clasped its palms together, creating an enormous purple lightning energy ball.
“76% Resonance Value, Full Power Thunder Punishment!!!”
The electrical and magnetic fields emanating from Tipsy Dragon Song created an earth-shattering energy that nearly uprooted all nearby trees. The air filled with a vast, rich deep purple glow, radiating grand momentum.
Liuliu Yue slowly stood up. Following Su Huan’s habit, she carefully placed Thunder Element above her head. The lightning energy surging at its tip was almost uncontrollable.
“Lightning Chain!!!”
“Buzz!!!”
A lightning chain burst from Thunder Element’s tip, cracking through the air like a thunderous serpent and striking the charging Tipsy Dragon Song at ultra-high speed. The attack forcibly paralyzed Tipsy Dragon Song’s entire body, halting its power-gathering spell—like a Saiyan frozen mid-pose while charging a Spirit Bomb.
[Lightning Chain (Blue Skill, releases a medium-distance chain of lightning that paralyzes three target units in front after charging for 1 second, targets must be within 5 meters of each other)]
Though unharmed, Tipsy Dragon Song remained motionless. It viewed attacks from infancy-stage battle pets as mere irritants.
Half a second later, the paralysis lifted, and Tipsy Dragon Song resumed gathering strength without reaction.
“Lightning Chain!!”
Thunder Element released another Lightning Chain, once again controlling Tipsy Dragon Song’s movements.
Watching Thunder Element’s weak struggles, the Divine Leaf team captain, hidden in a dark corner, sneered. Let them attack—even with the paralysis effect, such weak power wouldn’t scratch Tipsy Dragon Song after three days and nights of continuous hits.
But soon, she couldn’t laugh anymore. She watched darkly as Tipsy Dragon Song remained at only 40% charge. Normally, it wouldn’t have been hit by such a slow attack, but the charging process prevented it from moving or stopping.
This thunder-type Battle Pet Master seemed to have an unusual strategy. After controlling Tipsy Dragon Song, instead of attacking, they persistently extended the control duration, effectively immobilizing Tipsy Dragon Song for over ten seconds.
The enemy captain was approaching the battlefield…
If the enemy’s attack power were slightly stronger, it could interrupt Tipsy Dragon Song’s spell-casting!
What a weakling!!!
The woman seethed with anger.
“Lightning Chain!”
“Lightning Chain!”
“Lightning Chain!”
At the battlefield’s center, Thunder Element kept releasing Lightning Chains to maintain control. Liuliu Yue didn’t expect the young Thunder Element to defeat the enemy—she just needed to stall until their leader arrived to help.
Finally, after dominating the opponent for almost a minute, Tipsy Dragon Song was electrically shocked to the point of losing control of its bodily functions.
The masked girl with pink hair, known as the wood-type Battle Pet Master with the lowest mobility, finally arrived. She glanced curiously at Su Huan before turning her attention to Tipsy Dragon Song’s location. Above her head, Fuying Snow Lotus hovered, angrily releasing a breath of flower fragrance.
“Whooshhhhhhhh~~~”
Within seconds, the sky fractured into hundreds of small pieces, resembling falling cherry blossoms. Tipsy Dragon Song, taking the attack head-on, began to crumble, its lightning-shaped body showing signs of dissipation. Though severely damaged, its charged attack was forcibly canceled.
As Tipsy Dragon Song prepared to make a tactical retreat, glaring fiercely at the pink-haired girl, a sudden “buzz!” rang out as a Lightning Chain struck, immobilizing it.
“No, this battle just won’t end, will it!?”
[Purple Skill, Blizzard Fan!!!]
Fuying Snow Lotus responded swiftly, wielding its flower branches like a fan to unleash a powerful blast toward the enemy. The trapped Tipsy Dragon Song could only watch helplessly as an invisible blade pierced through its form. Its thunder-wracked body, already heavily damaged, burst like a balloon.
While wood-type Battle Pets typically lack agility and mobility, their attack range proves remarkably potent.
[Enemy Battle Pet, Tipsy Dragon Song has been defeated]
[Aiding in defeating Tipsy Dragon Song, points +12 (direct defeat is 24, aid reduces by half)]
Standing below, Liuliu Yue listened to the Point System’s guidance in her mind and breathed a sigh of relief. Her rosy complexion betrayed her satisfaction. Surely Su Huan wouldn’t blame her this time… even though Su Huan’s body was completely immune to lightning attributes, she thought quietly.
Five minutes into the battle, the score stood at 2 players against 4. However, with a fully matured battle pet still in play, the outcome was inevitable. The Divine Leaf Academy team surrendered without further resistance.
[Battle ended]
[Tianfeng Academy’s 307 team ranking increased]
After exiting the battle pod, the 307 team members regarded Liuliu Yue with amazement. Feng Qinqin had been right—this person’s strength was truly impressive. They had identified the opponent’s weakness and controlled a mature-stage battle pet for a full minute. For a young infancy-stage battle pet, facing a mature-stage one was like confronting a deity of destruction. Most would lose their will to fight and submit immediately.
“Su Huan, you’re amazing! How did you survive those attacks?” Feng Qinqin asked. “And why didn’t you use that Purple Skill from last time to blast the opponent while you had control?”
Liuliu Yue blinked, caught off guard by the question. The truth was simple—insufficient Resonance Value prevented the Purple Skill’s use, and even she didn’t understand the immunity to thunder-type attacks. After a pause, she fumbled for an explanation: “I, I, um… There seemed to be a delay with my device, so the attack didn’t work properly…?”
“Huh?” Feng Qinqin’s expression showed confusion, but she quickly drew her own conclusions. Assuming Su Huan possessed a powerful Thunder Element defense skill they wished to keep secret, she nodded along with the flimsy excuse.
“Thanks to you this time! I’ll definitely invite you to the next friendly match!” Feng Qinqin exclaimed. “If you need anything in the future, feel free to use our team’s name… Oh right, we’re already friends. When the school’s rewards arrive, I’ll transfer your share to you.”
Concerned about being discovered, Liuliu Yue nodded continuously, careful to maintain Su Huan’s usual mannerisms. After enduring what felt like an eternity, she finally found an opportunity to slip away.
After Su Huan’s departure, Feng Qinqin approached their unusually quiet captain. “Captain, you’re still so silent. Why won’t you say anything? Are you still that afraid of men?”
“They probably think you dislike them,” the captain replied.
However, Feng Qinqin’s response died in her throat as she noticed the young captain, pink-haired and blushing, gazing dreamily after the departed boy.
“She smells nice.”
“…….”
“……”
“?”
——

Ten minutes later, Liuliu Yue returned to Su Huan’s dorm room. As she casually opened the door and removed her coat, she suddenly realized the impropriety of the situation, her face flushing slightly. Despite having met only yesterday, she found herself comfortable entering a man’s room—a somewhat embarrassing revelation.
Even though he was still a man…
Oh right, important matters!
Shaking off these thoughts, Liuliu Yue reached for her phone to check on Su Huan’s battle situation. However, a news notification immediately caught her attention:
[White Moon State, Double Moon Sect, Saintess Candidate “Liuliu Yue”‘s infancy-stage battle pet Flash Butterfly has used the Diamond Skill, causing a sensation throughout the state]
[After a thousand years, will the Double Moon Sect produce another “Mythical Beast Executor”?]
[Is there still a need for the year-end college championship this year?]
“……”
“……”
“Splash!”
Upon seeing the notification, Liuliu Yue froze, her phone slipping from nerveless fingers to crash against the floor.
