"The Burning Emperor unleashed the Fang of Fire! But at the same time, Warmth Apocalypse unleashed the Smoke Annihilation!" On the commentary stage, Auror announced:
"Smoke Annihilation" is the name that Li Muxin gave to the combination of smoke and smoke explosion. He once used this move to turn the tide of a battle in the World Beast Taming League!
"I wonder if this match will be the same."
“It’s a bit hard to say,” Nephthys said. “The Burning Emperor hadn’t been hurt much before, but now he’s in the center of the Smoke Annihilation. The Smoke Annihilation technique mainly uses the rapid expansion of smoke to release a large amount of energy in a very short time, forming a high-pressure shock wave that spreads in all directions.”
"Although the smoke that Nuan Shiya unleashed covered the entire area, the smoke it itself generated was actually inexhaustible. Since Fen Di was around it, the damage it suffered was definitely the most severe."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and turned to ask:
"Great Dragon King, what do you think?"
"Grind it."
The Dragon King gave a concise and to-the-point call.
It can hold on.
The "it" in this context naturally refers to Fendido. Nefertis recognized this and remarked, "It seems that the Dragon King has a lot of confidence in contestant Josang and Fendido. However, I also believe that Fendido will not fall so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smoke in the arena suddenly thinned out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the explosion stopped.
To maintain the smoke in the field for a long time and keep the explosions going, the Warm Oasis must continuously release smoke and perform smoke explosions.
The explosion stopped so quickly, so there's only one explanation: something went wrong with the warming process.
Nuan Shiya… Li Muxin’s heart sank.
Everyone turned to look at the field.
The smoke dissipated.
A solid, cube-shaped barrier formed of flames appeared in everyone's sight within the giant crater.
The flame barrier was badly damaged, as if it had just been subjected to a strong impact, with holes in almost every direction.
Soon, the seemingly solid barrier of flames collapsed and vanished.
Within the barrier, the Fen Emperor's heavily wounded figure clung tightly to Nuan Shiya.
The scene was so gruesome that everyone instinctively held their breath.
Under everyone's gaze, Ya Bao tossed his head and forcefully threw Nuan Shiya away.
Nuan Shiya was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily to the ground.
Its eyes were tightly closed, and it looked as if it was already dying.
After a brief silence, a clamor suddenly arose:
"Is this game over?"
"Holy crap, I thought Burning Emperor would be seriously injured under the attack of Smoke Annihilation, but I didn't expect it to keep biting Warm Origin!"
"It's badly injured! But even though it's badly injured, it keeps biting! It's so persistent!"
"That was a fire barrier, wasn't it? I didn't expect the Burning Emperor to have such a rare skill."
"It can already use Solar Impact, so what's wrong with it having a Flame Barrier?"
"Warm Origin is just not very strong defensively. If it could hold out a little longer, Smoke Extinguish would definitely be able to bring down more of the Burning Emperor."
"Not necessarily. Although the Burning Emperor looks like he's seriously injured, his mental state seems quite good."
"Li Muxin lost the first game just like that?"
"He won't lose so easily..." Li Muxin's fans murmured.
"Warm Origin was thrown out by the Burning Emperor!" Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth, "Unexpectedly, despite the relentless attacks of Smoke Annihilation, the Burning Emperor never let go of his sharp teeth! He even used a defensive skill like Flame Barrier!"
"It seems that Warm Origin has suffered serious injuries from the previous dazzling impact, not to mention the ultimate-level Fire Fang..." Auror paused here, then his eyes lit up as he shouted with passion:
"Warm Origin didn't fall! It stood up again! It unleashed its fiery properties!"
"Grind it."
The Dragon King let out a cry, indicating that everything was alright. It had thought the game was over, which would have been too boring.
"Li Muxin! Li Muxin!"
"Warm start! Warm start!"
In the audience, Li Muxin's fans cheered excitedly.
The intense fire characteristic... Qiao Sang looked at Nuan Shiya, who was engulfed in flames and had stood up again in the distance, and was not particularly surprised.
Time was limited, so she didn't watch all of Li Muxin's matches, but in the matches she had watched, Nuan Shiya had unleashed six bursts of fierce fire, which was not a low probability.
The "Fierce Fire" trait is more common in top-level competitions because high-level players have the ability to choose their favorite pets. They don't try to awaken the pet's traits after forming a contract with it; instead, they consider forming a contract with the pet because it has this trait.
Regarding fire-type pets, the Blazing Fire trait is very useful and is generally among the choices of professional players.
"Teeth!"
In a flash of thought, Ya Bao teleported out of the giant pit and saw Nuan Shiya burning with flames. He showed an excited expression and roared.
Then, it stomped down hard with its left front paw.
In an instant, the ground exploded, and terrifying flames shot out from it.
Nuan Shiya suddenly transformed into a streak of fire, stepping on raging flames, and charged straight towards the direction where Ya Bao was.
Ya Bao teleported to a high altitude, looked down, and his eyes glowed blue.
Nuan Shiya exerted force with all four limbs and jumped into the air.
However, at that moment, an immense gravitational force suddenly descended, enveloping the entire area.
Caught off guard, Nuan Shiya fell to the ground with a "bang" due to gravity.
The hellfire was still spewing forth.
Just as Nuan Shiya was falling to the ground, a tremendous force exploded where it landed, and the scorching flames that spewed out attacked its body.
"Warm!" Nuan Shiya screamed in agony.
"Explode," Qiao Sang exclaimed.
Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a terrifying beam of red and gold instantly shot towards the location of Nuan Shiya.
“Four!” Li Muxin shouted.
"Nuan Nuan!" Nuan Shiya shouted with a determined expression.
At the same time, the smoke on his body spread instantly, as if it were materializing and surrounding his entire body.
"Bang!!!"
With a deafening roar, a fierce shockwave, accompanied by intense heat and flames, swept outwards in all directions.
Nuan Shiya did not scream... Despite the deafening explosion, Qiao Sang's senses were astounding, and he still keenly noticed it.
Was it contained?
Information about smoke flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.
Nuan Shiya's smoke is something she was born with; she was born with smoke properties, which means she can control and change the smoke on her body.
It is said that the smoke with the S-rank characteristics can even be materialized, just like how Warm Origin used materialized smoke for defense.
However, Yabo's Explosive Bullet has been mastered to the ultimate level, and with its solar power, even materialized smoke shouldn't be able to withstand its power... Could it be that Warmthia's energy is much higher than Yabo's...? But that doesn't make sense either; if it were much higher, Yabo wouldn't have been able to overwhelm it at the beginning...
Just then, the shockwave and flames dissipated, and the scene returned to calm.
On the ground, Nuan Shiya had already closed her eyes and fainted.
Qiao Sang: "..."
It turns out she fainted before she could even scream...
"First Hellfire, then Gravity! And then Blazing Bullet! Almost all of Inferno's skills hit Warm Ooal!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis exclaimed, "The effect is remarkable! Even Warm Ooal, which had activated its Blazing Flame ability, has fallen!"
"The Burning Emperor's attack speed is very fast, and it has many attack methods." Auror exclaimed, "When Nuan Shiya rode the Hellfire and rushed into the sky, the Burning Emperor reacted quickly and used gravity to make the Hellfire hit Nuan Shiya. Only a pet with a lot of combat experience could react so quickly."
"Grind it."
The Dragon King cried out, indicating that the Burning Emperor was still young and lacked practical experience, but he had a great talent for combat.
"The smoke defense failed to stop the Explosive Bullet. The attack power of the Burning Emperor is much stronger than I imagined." Auror continued to sigh, "You know, the smoke defense of Warm Origin once blocked the combination attack of the Electric Tail Earth Dragon."
"Perhaps the Burning Emperor has the property of increasing fire attack power," Nefertis speculated.
During the conversation, a mechanical-type pet wearing a referee's badge appeared beside Nuan Shiya and observed her for a moment.
A short while later, it raised its green flag and waved it in the direction of Josang.
A giant virtual screen appeared on the field.
Below Li Muxin's photo, the photo of Nuan Shiya has been changed from color to black and white.
"It seems Josang has taken the first game!" Nefertis announced from the commentary booth. "The score is now 1-0!"
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao revealed a happy expression, then looked at Li Muxin on the high platform with a fighting spirit in her eyes.
The audience erupted in a tidal wave of cheers and shouts.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"There are many Burning Emperors! There are many Burning Emperors!"
"Ah! I knew Qiao Sang would win!"
"Even the Warmth Emperor, who had unleashed a fierce fire, was defeated so quickly. This Burning Emperor is too powerful!"
"The combination of fire and psychic attributes is truly incredible. It has both offensive and control capabilities, as well as speed."
"Is Fen Di Duo already at the mid or late stage of the Emperor level? I feel that its attack power is much stronger than the fire-type pets of other contestants."
"I feel that its skill proficiency is quite high, and it looks like it has already reached the ultimate level."
"High skill proficiency, plus the ability to increase attack power."
"I think the Burning Emperor could fight another battle!"
On the field, Li Muxin waved his hand, recalling the unconscious Nuan Shiya back into the Beast Taming Manual.
The power of the sun... His gaze fell on the Fen Di Duo, who seemed to be in good condition in the distance.
The charred and broken ground sank, while the intact ground slowly rose.
Qiao Sang did not choose to take back Ya Bao.
The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee's badge blew the whistle to signal preparation.
The light and shadow of the number "10" appeared on the field, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds.
"9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1".
As the light and shadow disappeared, Li Muxin quickly formed hand seals.
A deep, mysterious purple star array lit up the field.
A beast, about thirty meters tall, with a dark blue body, a long neck, white markings from the bottom of its neck to its abdomen, and a pair of white curved horns on either side of its head, appeared in the star array.
With its appearance, the weather suddenly turned cold, dark clouds instantly filled the sky, and large raindrops began to fall without warning.
Rainfall characteristics... Qiao Sang's gaze fell on a pet beast with a pair of white curved horns in the distance.
The Water Spirit Deer is a royal-level pet with both water and psychic attributes. It has a gentle nature and spends its life searching for clean water sources… The data mentions that the Water Spirit Deer's rain-bringing ability is S-rank…
Qiao Sang's gaze fell on Li Muxin, and she thought to herself that he had indeed summoned the Water Spirit Deer.
After all, from an attribute perspective, sending out the Water Spirit Deer is indeed a good choice.
To be honest, when she let Ya Bao continue the second game, she guessed that the opponent would send out the Water Spirit Deer.
"The pet summoned by Li Muxin in the second game is the Water Spirit Deer!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis said, "The Water Spirit Deer is a royal-level pet with dual attributes of water and psychic! Judging from its attributes, it is just right to deal with the Burning Emperor."
“Both sides possess psychic-type secondary attributes. In terms of speed, it seems that the Burning Emperor will no longer have the advantage in this match,” Auror said.
"The rain at the start of the game, I wonder if it will affect Fendi Duo," Nefertis said. "I remember that Fendi Duo was seriously injured in the last game."
"Grind it."
The Dragon King showed an interested expression and called out, indicating that this match seemed quite interesting, and he hoped that the Water Spirit Deer could force out more of the Burning Emperor's strength.
VIP rooms.
Margot frowned as she looked at the pets appearing in the star array on the field and said, "Why did Qiao Sang let the Burning Emperor play more in the second game? Isn't he just waiting for the opponent to summon a pet that counters him?"
Michaela said calmly, "In this kind of competition, attribute advantages don't matter."
“You guys really don’t take Li Muxin seriously at all,” Margot said, turning her head.
"It's precisely because we took it so seriously that we still had Emperor Fen continue to fight, even knowing the opponent possessed the Water Spirit Deer," Michaela said, sipping her drink.
"Qiao Sang's Burning Emperor has not been evolved for long and lacks combat experience. He needs a high-pressure battle to improve quickly, since the opponents ahead will only get stronger."
Margot asked in surprise, "Are you using Li Muxin as a whetstone? Aren't you afraid of losing?"
“Haven’t we already won a round?” Michaela laughed. “Besides, the Burning Emperor is the type to get stronger as the battle goes on, so it won’t lose so easily.”
Even if they fought harder and harder, they had already suffered serious injuries in the previous matches... Margot looked at the field but didn't say these words out loud.
On the field.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao looked up and shouted.
The water deer swung its tail forcefully toward the ground.
Waves of blue light spread out, sweeping across the entire area like ripples.
Immediately afterwards, the entire arena suddenly transformed into a space filled with what appeared to be bottomless water.
Ya Bao teleported to a high altitude.
The rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to its azure blue, with the golden sun, like a blazing fireball, shining overhead. (End of Chapter)
