The flower-stem dragon landed gracefully, its white tail tip swaying gently, looking incredibly fresh and adorable.

The Spectral Dragon roared, stomped its right foot on the ground, and spewed out a burst of black flames.

The flower stem dragon glanced at it, but didn't seem to care much.

"Hua Hua," Hua Jinglong called out gently to Xu Xingxi.

Xu Xingxi touched its cheek: "This time, I'm leaving it to you, Huayi."

"Flower." Flower Stem Dragon rubbed his palm, then turned to face Dark Light Dragon with a serious expression.

"Woo—!" The Spectral Dragon responded with high fighting spirit.

The octopus-shaped host excitedly shouted, "It's finally here! The first battle of dragon-type pets in this Beast Taming Star League! Is the Flower Stem Dragon, the runner-up of the Grand Contest, stronger, or will the veteran Ghost Dragon prevail?"

"The match begins!"

Ryan and Xu Xingxi issued instructions almost as soon as the match started.

"Phantom Stealth!"

"Entwined by vines!"

The Spectral Dragon flapped its wings and took off, its massive body vanishing in an instant.

Countless vines shot out from behind the Flower Stem Dragon, rushing towards the Gloom Dragon at incredible speed. The vines intertwined and formed a tight cage.

The Spectral Dragon was unable to dodge in time and was trapped.

"Black Egg, look! Vines are entwining! It's an advanced skill of the Vine Whip!" Cheng Huaijin excitedly patted Black Egg's shell. "Do you remember the Vine Whip you used to use?!"

"hey-hey!"

Of course! My whip is far more powerful than his!

Black Egg said with absolute certainty.

Ryan remained calm and issued the command: "Phantom Flame!"

Instantly, countless black flames erupted from the green cage. The Flower Stem Dragon quickly retracted its vines.

However, the black flames were too hot and spread rapidly along the vines.

Having escaped, the Spectral Dragon increased its power, spewing out even more phantom flames, and charged toward the Flower Stem Dragon with lightning speed.

The Flower Stem Dragon flapped its wings and flew into the air, but the flames seemed to follow it like radar. Caught off guard, the tip of its tail was engulfed by black flames, burning off a patch of its tail fur.

The Flower Stem Dragon cried out in anguish, "Flower!"

It came to a sudden stop in mid-air and charged toward the Darklight Dragon.

Xu Xingxi shouted, "Petal Combo!"

The Flower Stem Dragon unleashed two whirlwinds of petals, each petal like a sharp blade, shooting towards the Ghostly Dragon.

Ryan shouted, "Gloom Shield!"

A faint barrier of black light appeared before the Radiant Dragon. Pink petals slapped against the barrier, producing a sound like blades striking iron plates, a sound that made one's teeth ache.

"Whoosh—!" The Spectral Dragon got carried away and charged forward, propelled by the whirlwind of petals.

Xu Xingxi clenched her fists and shouted, "Take this opportunity to activate the Garden Lord skill!"

"Flower!" The Flower Stem Dragon closed its eyes, surrounded by green light from top to bottom. When it opened its eyes again, countless green balls emerged from the ground, chattering as they rushed toward the Gloom Dragon.

Mr. Zhao said admiringly, "They've actually learned summoning skills."

The octopus host excitedly waved his tentacles: "Summoning skill! Xu Xingxi has really brought us a lot of surprises! As far as I know, there aren't many pets in the league that can summon skills right now!"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "That's right. Summoning skills require pets to have extremely high elemental communication abilities and a certain level of skill and lineage. This Flower Stem Dragon is very unusual."

"Yes! According to the information, Huajinglong Huayi is only 3 years old, and has great potential!" the octopus host exclaimed.

Cheng Huaijin subconsciously glanced at the Green Leaf Lime Popo next to him.

Flowerstem Dragon is 3 years old, and Bobo has been in the Tyrant Pet Training Hall for 2 years... So, if we calculate it this way, Flowerstem Dragon has replaced Bobo's position?

Bobo stared silently at the screen, without saying a word.

On the field.

Ryan smiled slightly: "A summoning skill of this level? Spectral Dragon, Illusion Barrier."

The Spectral Dragon's eyes emitted a purple light, and the dark elements in the Dark Arena began to surge.

The green balls summoned by the Flower Stem Dragon were shrouded in dark elements and, influenced by the illusion, began to disobey commands and jump around haphazardly.

"A very high level of proficiency in Illusion Barrier," Mr. Zhao commented. "It can affect so many summoned creatures. Creatures with lower intelligence are less likely to be affected by illusions, but the Gloom Dragon's Illusion Barrier can affect them. This is enough to prove that the Gloom Dragon's Illusion skill should have reached the star level."

The octopus host asked in surprise, "You mean the green balls summoned by the Flower Stem Dragon are intelligent beings?"

Mr. Zhao replied, "Of course, otherwise how could I be deceived by illusions?"

Xu Xingxi looked serious; he hadn't expected that the Flower Stem Dragon's summoning skill would actually cause him trouble.

"Hail! Stop Garden Lord, use Earth's Fury!"

The Flower Stem Dragon withdrew its summoning skill the instant Xu Xingxi gave the command, stomped its feet on the ground, and roared.

"Flower—!"

The ground shook violently, and a crack appeared at the feet of the Flower Stem Dragon, quickly spreading to where the Gloom Dragon was.

Ryan remained unfazed: "It's time to end the battle, Ghost Dragon."

The Spectral Dragon took flight, using Phantom Flame to unleash a massive black flame, and then teleported the instant the flame was released.

The moment the Ghost Dragon disappeared, Xu Xingxi had a bad feeling.

He shouted, "Dodge!"

Flower Stem Dragons execute commands very quickly, but they forgot that this is a Dark Arena, which provides a comprehensive boost to Dark-attribute pets in terms of speed, stamina, and elemental power.

Just as the Flower Stem Dragon dodged the black flames, a giant black dragon suddenly appeared in front of it.
