“Fireball.”
“Water Shield.”
Both sides quickly engaged in close combat.
“Approach.”
The Xuanlin Turtle had strong defenses, but it could not escape the characteristic slow movement speed of turtle-type Transcendent creatures.
Moreover, water and fire are incompatible.
In terms of attributes, the Xuanlin Turtle and Lan Yue were in a situation where either the east wind prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind prevailed over the east wind.
Lan Yue was extremely fast; after unleashing the fireball, she agilely leaped to the side of the Xuanlin Turtle.
“Ice Spike.”
While the Xuanlin Turtle was still supporting its Water Shield head-on to block the massive fireball, a row of Ice Spikes shot up from beneath its left foot.
“Withdraw, Collapse.”
Duo Mu's ability to survive the first round of eliminations and remain naturally spoke to his excellence.
The instructors' evaluation of him was:
He can maintain composure in any situation, possesses an excellent mindset, and fights steadily.
This is a Beast Tamer with a big heart.
So, facing Mingxi's fierce offensive, he still calmly issued what he believed to be the most appropriate command.
However, what Mingxi was waiting for was this withdrawal.
Withdrawal, a common basic-level skill, is a natural talent skill of turtle-type Transcendent creatures.
By retracting its head, limbs, and tail, its defense is greatly enhanced, giving the Xuanlin Turtle an invincible state. freewebnσvel.cøm
Furthermore, this skill consumes no energy and can be maintained for a long time.
But near invincibility is not absolute invincibility.
After all, a turtle shell is not fully enclosed.
So Duo Mu cleverly followed up with the skill Collapse.
Collapse, an intermediate-level Earth-type skill, shatters the rocks beneath one's feet, causing the ground to sink and collapse.
It is usually used to create traps or for control.
But Duo Mu used it here, clearly to allow the Xuanlin Turtle to better protect itself.
By sinking with the ground, it could perfectly protect the gaps in its body.
“Ice Wall, Block.”
Mingxi's voice came before Duo Mu's.
The withdrawal was completed, but the collapse failed.
The Xuanlin Turtle was unable to sink in time, instead being blocked by a thick sheet of ice that suddenly appeared on the ground.
Duo Mu, who also heard Mingxi's command, was somewhat stunned.
An Ice Wall could be used like this?
To block a collapse?
But soon he realized something was wrong.
On the battle stage, after the Bingji Cat released an Ice Wall, it released Ice Spikes again.
But this time it was different from before.
Five Ice Spikes, pointed at one end and thick at the other, each three to four meters long, shot out from five different directions under its control.
In an instant, they pierced through the five gaps in the turtle shell, accurately embedding themselves within the Xuanlin Turtle's body.
Have you heard of 'three knives, nine holes'?
This scene was exactly like it.
So, 'block' meant this!
Duo Mu shivered involuntarily; he couldn't even imagine how miserable the Xuanlin Turtle, curled up inside its shell, must be.
“I surrender!”
Duo Mu dared not imagine, so he unhesitatingly chose to surrender.
Similarly, this scene also made the faces of the observing students change.
“...Alright, alright, alright! So this is how you play? I've noted down this combo; it's practically a sure-kill move for dominating turtle-type pet beasts!”
“Funny, do you think it's that simple?
Brother, if it were you, you might not really pull it off.
You can't create a crisis that forces the pet beast to withdraw, can't block the collapse, lack the ability to accurately seize the timing, and there's also the size control of the Ice Spikes, projection angle, projection speed... and so on.
If any single part goes wrong, it's not a combo, but a joke.”
“What do you want to express? Keep it simple, speak simply, omit the escalating emotions!”
“Hey! I just want to say, Ming Shen is awesome!”
“There you go, why bother with all that theoretical and practical nonsense.”
“Liu Gang, stop rambling here, it's almost your turn to challenge, hurry up and get ready!”
The young man named Liu Gang was stunned.
“Aren't there still Wan Qianqian from Changsi Region and Zhang Ke'er from Chonghua Region before me? How could it be my turn so quickly?”
To ambush Mingxi, the other students had already united.
After careful planning and deployment (drawing lots), they had arranged a challenge order.
And he was fortunately 'arranged' to be the fourth to appear.
Only one match had just ended.
“Are you blind! Can't you see Wan Qianqian is about to lose already?”
Liu Gang: “What?! That fast?!”
Not just fast, it was lightning fast.
Wan Qianqian went on stage, selected the mode, the referee announced the start, and both sides summoned their pet beasts.
Then, there was no 'then'.
Lovenia's single Dragon Breath resulted in an instant kill.
Even though Wan Qianqian's pet beast was also an Advanced Level pet beast.
Students: “...”
How were they supposed to play now?
The instructors on the opposite stand, however, accepted it well, especially those special training instructors who had battled Mingxi.
“Lovenia's Dragon Breath and Dragon Tail proficiency have definitely reached Mastery.”
“More than that, I estimate it might be 'As You Wish'.”
“As You Wish? That can't be, can it? Lovenia only hatched three months ago; even if it ate Skill Stones like candy, it couldn't possibly raise its proficiency to 'As You Wish'.”
“Maybe it eats Skill Stones like meals?”
“...”
Wan Qianqian walked off the battle stage, dumbfounded.
Mingxi calmly surveyed below, her eyes like a queen looking down on all beings, and coldly said: “Next.”
Fu Sushu suddenly covered his chest with one hand and grabbed his cousin's arm with the other.
Under his cousin Fu Yifan's bewildered gaze, he said with a dreamy expression, “Xiao Fan, what do you think about having Sister Mingxi as your sister-in-law?”
Fu Yifan paused, then raised his hand and mercilessly gave his elder brother a big slap.
“What kind of beautiful dream are you having! Not to mention Mingxi is only 14, even if she were an adult, you wouldn't be worthy of her.”
He couldn't help but inwardly grumble: He really hadn't seen it, his brother was so completely two-faced. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Good thing his Fu Family still had a normal noble young master like him.
Otherwise, the Fu Family would be doomed.
“Ming Shen, Ming Shen, you're so great, you're my marshmallow!”
“Ming Shen, Ming Shen, don't be reckless, I wish to honor you as queen!”
“Ming Shen, Ming Shen, you're the strongest, you'll dominate the universe eventually!”
Fu Sushu, who had just been slapped, hadn't even recovered when he was directly shaken by the super loud shouts next to his ear, causing him to bury his head in the ground.
His brother was crazy.
Good thing the Fu Family had him.
Otherwise, this family would fall apart.
Fu Yifan's chant was truly sudden and loud.
It was like a clap of thunder on flat ground; not only did everyone in the stands hear it, even Mingxi on the battle stage heard it.
She almost buried her head in the ground like Fu Sushu!
I'll kowtow to you!
“Senior Fu, you are truly a talent.”
Although Mingxi and Fu Yifan would be classmates in the same grade after school started, she was used to calling him Senior Fu and hadn't changed it yet.
Mainly because Fu Yifan asked her to call him Brother Yifan.
At this moment, she felt a 'respectful title' suited him even better—Father Fu.
You're not truly a dog, but you're definitely my father.
( „ ಡ ω ಡ „ )
I'm truly done for.
In the stands, after a brief moment of {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} absolute silence.
