Chapter 416: Wind and Thunder Wings! A Sword to Slay Dragons!

Chapter 416: Wind and Thunder Wings! A Sword to Slay Dragons!

It must be said that most of the people present had interacted with Li Ping before.

However, they did not believe that Li Ping would be able to win the championship in the end.

Except for the others who were more familiar with the situation, only Elder Feng, who was playing for fun, placed his bet on Li Ping.

Even Sang Sheng, who was quite familiar with Li Ping, was no exception.

If it were a competition of Beastmaster breeding abilities, there would be no doubt that everyone would place their bets on Li Ping without hesitation.

But on this arena, the battle strength of the Beastmasters was being tested.

Moreover, the stakes were not low, so it was best to be cautious.

Even when Sang Sheng first saw Li Ping's origami man in the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, he knew that the origami man could actually store energy while attacking.

However, Sang Sheng still chose Ye Zhou.

The others, especially the initiator of this bet, Dean Chen, also had a smirk on his face as he watched the countdown end on the arena.

On the field, Li Ping and Chen Zhan were unaware of the high-stakes bet surrounding their battle.

In the narrow canyon, as the countdown ended, several beams of summoning light instantly lit up from within the canyon.

Then, both Beastmasters appeared on the live-streamed battlefield, accompanied by the summoning light.

The green demon wolf was like a burning flame, and Qian Yi still maintained the demeanor of a swordsman, not easily showing his true strength. The colorful light flickering on his body had already begun to ripple.

At the same time, three illusory figures appeared on Xiao Qing's body, and multiple clones emerged from them.

Since Xiao Qing's full strength had already been exposed, there was no reason to continue pretending.

Almost as soon as this was done, at the end of the canyon, a gust of wind blew, accompanied by thunderous roars. In just a few flashes of blue-purple electric light, the figure at the end appeared less than a hundred meters away, moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Today, after watching the video footage for so long, Li Ping finally witnessed the prowess of this Azure Dragon with his own eyes.

The azure-green scales of the Azure Dragon shone brightly under the simulated sunlight.

The colorless wind vortex seemed to surround it, causing the entire space to constantly sway and ripple, making the Azure Dragon and Chen Zhan, who stood on its head, appear somewhat illusory.

Alongside it, there were also the semi-transparent Hurricane Element Spirit King and Thunderclap Element Spirit King.

Chen Zhan didn't waste any time. For him, time was always the most crucial factor when facing Li Ping.

It was as if the howl of a wandering soul echoed through the entire world at this moment.

Li Ping's casual clothes fluttered wildly in the raging wind.

The next moment, a fully formed tornado appeared a hundred meters in front of him.

If it weren't for Xiao Qing's vine-like tree branches wrapping around it, Li Ping might have been blown away by the fierce wind.

Wind Domain!

This was a pure elemental domain-type advanced skill, but it was the most advantageous advanced skill on the arena.

The easiest way to deal with this type of skill was to simply avoid it and escape the domain's range.

However, the size of the arena restricted the use of such tactics.

They could only withstand it head-on!

Fortunately, Li Ping had watched these battle live streams numerous times, and it wasn't for nothing.

In the instant the raging wind swept through, one of Xiao Qing's clones transformed.

It transformed into the most common plant-type Beastmaster.

Sky-Straddling Vine!

As a Beastmaster with a race limit of only Dominance Peak, Sky-Straddling Vine had no other advantages worth mentioning. Its only notable features were its infinitely extending body and terrifying vitality.

"What's going on? Li Ping's Forest Wolf Evolution clone has actually transformed into another Beastmaster, the Sky-Straddling Vine?"

"Can this demon wolf transform? Yes, in the Wind Domain, the raging vortex will cause the Beastmaster and Beastmaster's body to become uncontrollable. But after transforming into the Sky-Straddling Vine, its roots can deeply penetrate the ground!

Even the spreading vines can block the raging wind. However, this is just a transformation; it's not like it can truly utilize the characteristics of the Sky-Straddling Vine... It has indeed blocked the raging wind of the Wind Domain, and at the same time, it has also freed Li Ping's body from the control of the Wind Domain!"

"How was this demon wolf of Li Ping's cultivated? The skill's uniqueness is truly rare."

On the commentary platform, two voices rose in surprise.

Obviously, even these three experienced Imperial-level Beastmasters couldn't figure out what was happening at this moment.

A transformed Sky-Straddling Vine had blocked the control effect of the Wind Domain.

Chen Zhan didn't show any panic. The next moment, the vortex of the Wind Domain changed.

The raging airflow became concentrated and sharp!

The terrifying vortex formed blades of wind in the air.

"The change in the Wind Domain is because wind is a fluid elemental energy and the fastest-changing element. It can transform into blades of wind! Previously, we've seen Chen Zhan demonstrate this..."

Lu Guang Ming praised.

As the vice-dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, his understanding of Chen Zhan was indeed profound.

In fact, this was indeed the case.

The change in the Wind Domain caused one of the Sky-Straddling Vines, which had been blocking the vortex, to be cut off accidentally.

However, compared to the Hurricane's control effect, this direct attack posed little threat. The other three Xiao Qing's main bodies and external incarnations flickered, and under the poisonous vines and sharp claws, those sharp wind blades were shattered.

Even the attacks of the two Windstorm Element Spirit Kings couldn't breach the defense line formed by the three Xiao Qing.

For a moment, the entire scene froze.

For Su Ping, Chen Zhan held an enormous advantage.

Whether it was the Azure Dragon or the two Spirit Kings, they could all fly.

But Xiao Qing couldn't fly.

At most, it could only pounce in the sky.

With air superiority, if this stalemate continued, unless there was a huge difference in energy supply, Chen Zhan seemed destined to win.

However, anyone could see that if this dragged on, Su Ping would have an overwhelming advantage.

No beast, including Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon, could possibly fight a thousand enemies alone!

That was an absolute value, an absolute realm suppression!

Once the paper man's Five Elements Rotation reached the peak, the outcome of the battle would instantly be overturned!

So, after maintaining this stalemate for barely a minute, Chen Zhan's face grew solemn, and he exhaled a long breath.

At this point, not going all out was clearly not an option.

Su Ping's pet, a strange wolf-like creature, was indeed too bizarre.

The defensive formation it created was also incredibly solid.

With so many clones and such massive energy consumption, it seemed to handle the situation more effortlessly than the Azure Dragon and Chen Zhan's other two beasts.

It was common knowledge that the energy of dragon beasts was unmatched among pets of the same level.

What kind of abnormal skills and cultivation methods did Breeder Su use on this pet? Chen Zhan didn't know, but he was certain that if this stalemate continued, he would undoubtedly lose unless the paper man was already exhausted.

Fortunately, Chen Zhan still had an ace up his sleeve.

Standing on the dragon's head, grasping the two dragon horns that symbolized the prestige of a Dragon Master, Chen Zhan's eyes flashed with light, like a protagonist in a hot-blooded manga, and he shouted a technique he had never used since the start of the competition:

"Windstorm Wings!"

This voice seemed to echo with the howl of the wind and the roar of thunder, reverberating throughout the canyon's arena, impossible to ignore.

Connected through the soul contract, Chen Zhan's eyes were filled with a mix of green and purple.

In an instant, the energy fluctuations within the Wind Domain reached their peak in this moment.

'It's here!'

In the highest room, Yuan Sheng smiled as he watched his great-grandson in the arena.

"This energy fluctuation?"

Sage Yun's eyebrows rose, and not just him; many others in the audience reacted similarly.

Clearly, the energy fluctuation alone exceeded that of ordinary low-level Monarch pets.

Beside him, Elder Wind spoke up:

"A true combination technique?"

Dean Chen smiled and nodded. "President Feng is indeed formidable. It is a combination technique, but compared to ordinary ones, Zhan'er's is special! I prefer to call it a fusion technique!"

"Oh?"

Elder Wind stroked his snowy beard, not asking further, and with great interest, he turned his attention to the live broadcast.

Not only him, but no one in the audience questioned Dean Chen's mysterious statement. Even Su Ping himself looked up, fixing his gaze on the rapidly gathering energy in the sky.

The next second, the two illusory Element Spirit Kings transformed into a peculiar shape, a mix of green and purple representing pure wind and thunder. And in the next moment, this transformed body, accompanied by the dragon's roar, manifested behind the Azure Dragon!

Generally, Divine Dragon Clan members don't have wings; only the Dragon Clan possesses them.

But now, two massive wings appeared behind the Azure Dragon, granted by the power of the two Element Spirit Kings.

Su Ping didn't understand the significance of this, but he would soon find out.

Such a skill and cultivation method! Su Ping couldn't help but feel amazed and curious.

Under the howling wind and rumbling thunder, the Azure Dragon's claws moved with lightning speed, leaving three purple scratches in the sky and appearing before one of Xiao Qing's clones.

The claws slashed down, and even Xiao Qing's clone couldn't react in time.

On the nearly invincible body of the clone, which usually ignored physical attacks, three claw marks appeared, swirling with wind and electricity.

The once-invincible body now showed signs of dissipation.

A devastating blow! This was the first time Xiao Qing had been truly injured by an opponent other than Qian Yi.

Su Ping's eyes twitched.

The Azure Dragon before him was no longer just an energy fluctuation; it exuded the power and might of a Monarch-level beast.

He could confirm with certainty that at this moment, the Azure Dragon had undoubtedly reached the Monarch realm.

Although, for him, it wasn't difficult for his pet to defeat opponents of a higher realm.

But Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon and the two Element Spirit Kings could also challenge ordinary low-level Monarch beasts!

With this skill fusion, a trinity, they had become true Monarch-level beasts, and the enhanced combat power remained!

"Too fast! The dragon's power is fully demonstrated in Chen Zhan's hands! And this Windstorm Wings skill seems to be a special skill created based on Chen Zhan's talent for 'Element Fusion'! Although it's not a rule-breaking advanced skill, in Chen Zhan's hands, it seems even more powerful than any advanced skill!" Lu Guangming exclaimed.

Wang Shengtian narrowed his eyes, "It's over! This Green Demon Wolf can no longer stop the Azure Dragon with its Wind and Thunder Wings. It's an absolute difference in power, unless that Origami Figure completes its charge!"

"Is the legendary journey ending here? But it's understandable. Compared to the other participants, Su Ping is at a disadvantage due to his age. He's already a legend!"

Zhang Lan sighed in agreement.

Clearly, not only them but also those in the broadcasting room at the summit, except for the ever-calm Sage Sang and Gui Sheng, shook their heads.

Elder Ray's face turned ashen, "Damn it! Gambling is a real bane!" In fact, it seemed to be true.

The speed was incredibly fast. Qing Long's poisonous vines, even when used as bait, could only momentarily entangle the opponent.

But the cost was almost enough to shatter one of Su Ping's clones instantly!

Fortunately, the Green Demon Body's recovery speed was incredibly fast, and it had no fatal weaknesses.

It could still provide some resistance and inject some of the Green Demon's poison into the opponent's body.

However, it was evident to everyone that this action wasn't particularly effective.

Even with all its might, it could do little more than delay the inevitable.

Earlier, when Qian Yi intervened, it was clear to everyone that he was at his peak power around seven minutes into the battle against Zhou Yuan.

But now, only four minutes had passed.

In the remaining three minutes, the outcome was all but sealed.

Chen Zhan, standing atop the whirlwind, was pleased with the debut of the Wind and Thunder Wings.

He looked down at Su Ping, then at the slightly dispersed green wolves, before fixing his gaze on the Origami Figure, shimmering with multicolored light, in front of Su Ping.

"Qing Qiong, take down that Origami Figure and eliminate your opponent!"

The few green wolves could no longer hinder their progress.

The Dragon Clan's might, coupled with the suppression of a higher realm, wasn't something a skill or two could overcome. Moreover, the Azure Dragon also possessed advanced skills of its own!

So, at Su Ping's command, the powerless External Body no longer obstructed their path but instead focused on the Origami Figure, the very figure that had captured the attention of the Dragon Kingdom and even the world.

It's over! As the Wind and Thunder Wings unleashed their Wind and Thunder Claws, everyone's hearts echoed the same three words.

It's over.

They thought it should be so.

This Origami Figure was Su Ping's last hope.

But even the most powerful skill needed time to charge.

On the battlefield, it was undoubtedly a Grand Hall Rank advanced skill, but in the arena, the constraints were too great.

Everyone exhaled, some feeling dejected, while others, before they could even breathe out, witnessed the purple-blue whirlwind and electric claws tear into the fragile Origami Figure with a 'clang'!

The expected 'puchi' sound didn't materialize. The anticipated scene of claws piercing the paper body like a blade through tofu didn't unfold.

So, this sound made everyone refocus on the arena.

At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed frozen in time.

The previously motionless Origami Figure now extended its arms, one holding the sword's hilt, the other gripping the blade.

"Wuuu! (I have a sword!)"

The incomprehensible shout left the Azure Dragon momentarily stunned.

Then, a crisp sword ring reverberated through the arena.

The Azure Dragon's pupils seemed to constrict in that instant.

The light shimmering on the Origami Figure didn't fade, but a white, sharp aura seemed to intensify.

Its speed, enhanced by the Wind and Thunder Wings, had reached its limit.

Yet, even so, it couldn't fathom how the sword had been unsheathed.

All it could perceive was the approaching white sword edge.

And then, everyone finally heard the 'puchi' sound.

The entire hall fell silent at that moment.

Everyone, including the broadcasting room above, where an Elder, was incredulously witnessing the scene.

Beneath the sword edge, the charging Azure Dragon was split in two!

'Clang'

The sword returned to its sheath.

The five-colored light ceased its glow.

Unbeknownst to all, the Five Elements Cycle had already been completed.

Qian Yi seemed to do nothing, merely uttering those enigmatic words:

"Wuuu! (I have a sword!)"
