After the first round, only 14 contestants remained. Similar to the first round, the competition adopted a two-on-two format, with 7 winners advancing to the third round and 7 losers entering a points-based tournament, where the contestant with the highest score would advance to the third round.
Cheng Huaijin was wearing a dark gray tracksuit, her long hair was slightly curly and loose, and a black egg beast was lazily lying on her head.
"Please proceed to the battle area and wait for the match to begin."
Cheng Huaijin drew number three again today, and his battle area is number one.
Her opponent was a stylish and beautiful woman.
The host announced: "The competition begins!"
The transparent protective shield is activated.
"Cheng Huaijin, request a match!"
"I wish for a match!"
Cheng Huaijin extended his wrist and marked: "Come out, Black Egg Beast!"
Wishing to extend his wrist and mark: "Let's go, Moonmon!"
Sea Moon Beast, a water-type pet.
Cheng Huaijin had read the review of this year's contestants in the Beast Taming Forum, so he naturally knew about the Sea Moon Beast that had made a name for itself in yesterday's competition.
The Moon Beast has a dreamlike appearance. Its skin ripples with a faint blue sheen like ocean waves, and its eyes, like the bright moon, gleam with a cool and profound light. It also has a long, slender, and soft tail that swings freely in the air like a piece of seaweed.
The Moon Beast's special move is a poison needle attack.
Although Black Egg Beast also has poison-type skills, Cheng Huaijin believes its poison is inferior to that of Moon Beast. She analyzed all the pets and skills of the contestants who advanced to the second round, and if her opponent was Moon Beast, she felt Black Egg Beast would be better off winning by speed.
After all, poison is something that's hard to guard against, and once the poison takes effect, it becomes very difficult to deal with.
"Wow! It's Moonmon versus BlackEggmon!" the host exclaimed excitedly. "We all know that both of these contestants had a fantastic performance yesterday! So who will win today?"
Commentator Wang Bupang said, "I am more optimistic about the Moon Beast. The Black Egg Beast's most impressive skills yesterday were Black Flame Meteor and Water Curtain Barrier, while the Moon Beast is a water-type pet, and the Black Egg Beast's fire and water-type skills are not very effective against it."
The host asked, "But the Black Egg Beast also has energy counteraction, right?"
Wang Bupang explained, "Yes, the energy clash is very strong. But look at today's weather, it's cloudy~ The Black Egg Beast mainly absorbs fire and wood energy, so it seems it can't absorb as much energy as yesterday~ Besides, can the energy clash skill be used for two consecutive days?"
The host asked, "Isn't it possible?"
Wang Bupang: "...Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?"
Host: "Isn't this to explain things to everyone?"
Wang Bupang: "Okay, viewers, Energy Clash is an attack move that uses the pet's body as a converter to directly convert elements in nature into energy and launch it. Therefore, it requires a high level of physical fitness from the pet and generally cannot be used continuously."
"Depending on the pet's physical condition, it usually requires a rest period of more than a week after one use," she added.
The host said, "So, Black Egg Beast's situation is not good?"
Wang Bupang smiled and said, "Then it depends on the beast tamer's strategy."
On the battlefield.
"Sea Moon Beast, tail attack!"
The Sea Moon Beast nimbly swung its tail as if in water, then leaped forward like an arrow, its fluorescent tail hurtling straight toward the Black Egg Beast.
Cheng Huaijin gave the order: "Whip! Whip it back!"
Countless vine whips shot out from behind the Black Egg Beast, lashing the Moon Sea Beast's tail with a crackling sound.
What's terrifying is that the moment the Moon Beast's tail touched the Black Egg Beast's vine whip, the whip immediately turned black, and this blackness seemed to be spreading.
"Cut the vines!" Cheng Huaijin shouted.
The Black Egg Beast broke off the vine whip and looked solemnly at the vine whip on the ground, which had turned black.
"hey-hey."
-So intense?
Cheng Huaijin: ...Don't talk and ruin the atmosphere at such a tense moment!
Xu Yuan shouted, "Water jet attack!"
The Moon Beast immediately carried out its Beastmaster's command, spitting out a jet of water that shot straight at the Black Egg Beast.
The host asked, "Let's take a look at battle area number one. Oh? It's a water jet attack? That won't do much good against Black Egg Beast, will it?"
Wang Bupang squinted and looked at it: "A smart approach. Look closely at its water column."
The host asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? It's quite thick."
Wang Bupang: "The Sea Moon Beast knows poison-type skills! It's hiding something in its water column, look closely!"
Host: "Who can see clearly at such a speed?"
Wang Bupang: "That depends on the Beastmaster. Let's see if Cheng Huaijin can find it."
Cheng Huaijin certainly noticed it, but not by sight. After all, she didn't have a god's-eye view; she could only see a jet of water rushing towards her. However, she could sense the subtle elemental changes on the battlefield.
On a sudden inspiration, she shouted, "Black Egg Beast, Black Flame Meteor!"
The Black Egg Beast immediately launched a targeted attack of black flame meteors, which shot straight towards the water column!
Black flames collided with blue water columns, and the high temperature of the flames quickly evaporated the water columns, filling the battle area number one with smoke.
Xu Yuan was first startled, then delighted. She knew that the young girl named Cheng Huaijin opposite her was very outstanding, but after all, she was still young. How could she not know that the toxic gas after the poisonous water evaporated was more difficult to deal with than the poisonous water itself?
Cheng Huaijin remained calm and issued the order: "Water Curtain Barrier!"
A spherical, semi-transparent barrier appeared around the Black Egg Beast, completely surrounding it.
“This won’t work,” the host said. “Won’t the poison gas penetrate the barrier?”
Wang Bupang nodded: "Yes, this Flame Meteor move was used very poorly; it was completely doing the work for the opponent."
On the battlefield.
Xu Yuan commanded, "Sea Moon Beast, continue to increase the water jet impact!"
"Moon~" The Sea Moon Beast spewed out a jet of water, striking the water curtain barrier directly.
"Is this another countermeasure?" the host asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the water curtain barrier changed.
The originally translucent barrier gradually turned black, as if the toxic elements were trying to erode the water elements.
Cheng Huaijin said, "Let them see the results of our training! Black Egg Beast, Vine Whip!"
Xu Yuan laughed and said, "Stop struggling... What!"
The smile on her face vanished as she watched helplessly as the water barrier locked the poisonous elements together, and then countless vines shot out from under the water barrier, bypassing the water columns to attack and strike the Moon Sea Beast's head directly!
"Yueyue!!"
The Moon Beast let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.
"Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"The Moon Beast is incapacitated; Cheng Huaijin (number 3) has won!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
Wow! That last move was so cool!
"Can a water curtain barrier be used like this?"
"What kind of pet is this? Does a black egg beast look like this?"
"Damn, I thought the Moon Beast had it in the bag..."
"Who is the Black Egg Beast Tamer? Yaotian's?"
"I wonder who will be the champion this year..."
