Chapter 10 Zhou Tong: I was defeated by the district?
Under the blazing sun, fine beads of sweat glistened on his bronze skin. Wang Jie's eagle-like gaze swept over the crowd before he uttered a sigh.
"The students' abilities are getting worse with each graduating class."
He thought to himself, "I'm angry at their lack of ambition."
As the top Pokémon battle instructor at Ningcheng No. 1 High School, Wang Jie's gaze swept over the students battling, and he mercilessly gave them low scores in his mind.
"This guy came up with just the initial skill set, and he doesn't even have the money to buy skill stones. He must be a low-level student."
"This vanilla turtle has managed to learn Growth, but unfortunately, it's just a basic beginner skill. It doesn't even need a decent skill stone. It seems to be a student with only average aptitude."
"This one is even worse. They can't even afford the three starter Pokémon, yet they bought a little lark from the Beast Taming Base and dare to go out? Its aptitude is terrible."
A bunch of poor bastards.
After looking around, Wang Jie sighed inwardly that this year's students would probably not achieve good results again, and felt a sense of regret.
It seems all those potions and skill stones I bought this year are going to be a waste. This year's students are too weak; they definitely won't come to me for courses or resources.
Fortunately, there were still the students on the school team who competed in tournaments. Those top students were much more talented than these people, and they embarked on the path of beast tamers much earlier, and they listened to me.
As the top-notch Pokémon battle instructor at Ningcheng No. 1 High School, Wang Jie had long ago discerned the essence of a Beastmaster's qualification: money.
Hey bro, what are you talking about qualifications with me if you don't have money? Most beasts raised by poor people have a poverty-stricken air about them and can't be raised well.
Poor students can't even afford to buy Pokémon from their teachers to speed up their training. How can they compete with the Pokémon that rich people have nurtured with all sorts of resources in the college entrance exam?
Poor people might go astray even with hard training, how can their foundation be as solid as that of those elves who are built with massive resources?
The existence of beast taming means that the college entrance examination is a resource game for the wealthy.
Wang Jie glanced lazily at the late-arriving battle group. After the two began their match, he suddenly became interested in the Flame Hound in front of Zhou Tong.
"Oh? Blowing on the fire?"
He nodded approvingly: "Not bad. It seems there are still potential athletes outside of the competition."
Fire Blowing is a general-purpose fire-type enhancement skill that can increase attack power.
The key point is that even the beginner-level skill stones for this thing cost 100,000 each!
Finally, we've spotted a promising talent.
Wang Jie nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and saw the elf opposite Zhou Tong, who looked visibly bewildered for a moment.
Psychedelic insects...?
Holy crap, a student with terrible qualifications has appeared!
He stared dumbfounded at the hallucinogenic insect, unable to understand why he would see such a student at Ningcheng No. 1 High School.
Then, he turned his head away with disdain.
There's no need to even look; it would be a miracle if a student with terrible aptitude could beat a student with decent aptitude.
He silently added the boy from the gaming area to his blacklist in his mind, but then he saw an unexpected scene.
During the battle, Zhou Tong was nervously communicating with the Flamehound. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Flamehound successfully unleash its Flame Breath.
Fortunately, my first collaboration with Infernal didn't go wrong!
At this moment, the flames on the head of the Flamehound surged again, and a smile appeared on Zhou Tong's face as he looked at Lin Wu.
"So, how about we order?"
He made a joke and was about to give the order to attack when he saw the ambiguous smile on Lin Wu's face.
Then, a problem suddenly came to mind.
Where are the insects?
Looking at the empty field, Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he realized the characteristics of the hallucinogenic insects.
"Did they hide in camouflage?"
Zhou Tong frowned and muttered to himself. Faced with Zhou Tong's question, Lin Wu remained silent and simply issued instructions.
Guess, just guess, the longer you guess, the more likely you are to get a piece of red stone.
Zhou Tong, meanwhile, was thinking rapidly in his mind.
The psychedelic insects are slow, so even if you run away in camouflage, you shouldn't be far away.
With the Flamehound's keen sense of smell, as long as it can find the target, and with the stat boost from the fire breath, the battle can be easily won!
So, Zhou Tong confidently issued the order. But the next moment, after receiving a message from the Flame Hound, Zhou Tong was stunned.
"What do you mean by not finding the insect and then getting poisoned?"
I haven't even seen a shadow of the other side, and you're telling me I'm already poisoned?!
Dude, where did you spill that poison powder?!
At this moment, Zhou Tong finally noticed the poisonous powder permeating the center of the field and Lin Wu's increasingly unrestrained laughter.
In response, Lin Wu could only say that it was wrong to strengthen oneself upon first meeting someone.
By the time you finished strengthening it, the poison powder had already been laid out!
As for why the Flamehound couldn't find the psychedelic bug? Just kidding, it's invisible, its scent is all contained within the folded space, how could you possibly smell it?
Moreover, contrary to Zhou Tong's expectations, the illusion insect activated Shadow Step the moment it entered stealth mode and slipped to the very edge of the battlefield!
It's kite time!
For a moment, Zhou Tong felt a chill run down his spine.
However, Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, sensing that Flamehound's condition was declining step by step and that he was becoming increasingly listless.
No, we have to finish this quickly! If this drags on, we might really lose!
The thought of possibly losing to the hallucinogenic insects made Zhou Tong feel terrible.
Imagine that one day you go out and someone asks you what caused your first defeat. You say, "I lost to a hallucinogenic insect."
No matter how brilliant you are, when people think of you, they'll only say, "Oh, him? The one who lost to the psychedelic bug, I know."
The damage wasn't too high, but the insults were off the charts.
At that moment, Zhou Tong suddenly saw the hallucinogenic insects appear, and his expression brightened with joy.
The next moment, the Flamehound spewed sparks again, but in response, the psychedelic bug simply spat out another mouthful of poison powder.
Then, before the firehound could reach it, it arched its body and wriggled at an astonishing speed!
They even disappeared completely while wriggling!
The Flamehound's steps faltered awkwardly, and at the same time, its poisoning deepened.
Why does this forum sound like it's spitting everywhere?
Zhou Tong watched the disappearing hallucinogenic insects, feeling a tingling sensation, yet the poisoning kept urging him to continue.
Then, as he watched the hallucinogenic insects appear in the distance, Zhou Tong's expression grew increasingly tense.
How can this bug run so fast?
He gritted his teeth and ordered the Flamehound to charge straight at him, but the Flamehound only let out a weak howl.
The hallucinogenic insect sprayed another mouthful of poison powder, causing the Flamehound to gradually see stars.
After spraying, this thing immediately ran away and disappeared without hesitation, not even staying for a second longer.
But that's the key point. You can see it but you can't touch it. Just when you feel like you're about to hit it, it disappears from the spot, leaving you with nothing but a face full of poison!
No, how can these hallucinogenic bugs be so disgusting?
Damn, what a great area!
At that moment, Zhou Tong's face was etched with pain as he watched helplessly as his Flame Hound was kited to exhaustion from poisoning, feeling that he himself was also about to collapse.
With the Flamehound losing its fighting ability and being returned to Zhou Tong's Beast Taming Space, the battle finally came to an end.
Wang Jie, who had been staring at this side since earlier, rubbed his eyes, and then rubbed them again.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
The hallucinogenic bug defeated the fire hound? Why would I have such a dream?
