Chapter 468: Wu Chongyu, This Kid's Got It!
Chapter 468: Wu Chongyu, This Kid's Got It!
"Rah!"
Fangy's eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched the massive lightning strike.
He let out a loud cry, and in the next second, flames swept over him, his fur seeming to transform into a blazing inferno.
Then, he charged straight towards the direction of the lightning strike.
Under the Master-level Blazing Charge, Fangy's speed was on par with the lightning, appearing like a brilliant flame darting left and right through the fierce lightning.
If this attack hits, combined with Mars Rain, Lightning Slasher will probably be taken down directly... Wu Chongyu's mind raced.
Lightning Slasher could dodge, but then the question was how to counter Blazing Star Hound.
Being quick to react and fast in movement would give him the upper hand in every move.
Even in the face of wide-ranging attacks, he could still maintain control, as his own speed would make the opponent's attacks seem like slow-motion, making it easier to counter.
In previous battles, his Lightning Slasher had consistently used speed to maintain the upper hand.
However, the damage from Mars Rain had slowed Lightning Slasher, and the opponent could use Psychic-type teleportation.
This way, in terms of speed, Lightning Slasher would no longer have an advantage.
Over time, Lightning Slasher would struggle to withstand the attacks from Mars Rain, and once the Trait effect wore off, his offensive power would weaken.
It might be better to not dodge and engage in a direct confrontation! There's a chance he could even inflict damage on Blazing Star Hound, making him the first contestant to do so!
Wu Chongyu thought this, but the confrontation between High-Class Beast Companions was too swift. Before he could give the command, Fangy's Blazing Charge had already dodged the Ten Thousand Volts attack and charged right up to Lightning Slasher.
Though the command wasn't given, at that moment, it seemed as though Lightning Slasher's thoughts were in sync with his Beastmaster.
"Lightning Slash!"
Just as Fangy charged in, Lightning Slasher didn't dodge. Instead, a powerful burst of lightning erupted from his body.
The massive lightning energy and shockwave spread out from Lightning Slasher, forming a colossal yellow semi-ring. Under that semi-ring, everything seemed to be obliterated.
Thunderstorm, a High-Grade Electric Skill, created a highly destructive explosion around itself. Fangy should have dodged; such an attack would definitely hurt him... Qiao Sang's first instinct was to have Fangy use teleportation to avoid it.
But she could clearly sense Fangy's excitement at the prospect of a direct confrontation.
After a mere 0.1-second hesitation, Fangy was already within the range of Thunderstorm.
At that point, telling him to teleport would have been too late.
Qiao Sang thought for another 0.1 second and shouted:
"2.0 Version!"
However, "Bang, bang, bang!!!"
Flame Rain continued to fall, and upon contact with the yellow semi-ring, it exploded.
White smoke filled the air, and the deafening explosions drowned out Qiao Sang's voice.
Fangy should understand what I meant, I hope he heard it... Qiao Sang tried to sense Fangy's condition.
...
At the center of the explosion, when Fangy's Blazing Charge collided with Lightning Slasher, a powerful burst of lightning energy erupted from Lightning Slasher.
The intense explosion between the flames and lightning severely wounded Lightning Slasher, and Fangy was sent flying.
Both Lightning Slasher and Fangy withstood the initial blast.
However, Lightning Slasher had already been significantly injured by Mars Rain, and after this impact, the electric arcs around his body quickly faded.
Flames continued to rain down, and the explosions kept coming.
Lightning Slasher's body wobbled and he collapsed.
The Thunderstorm skill did not stop because of this.
Skills like Thunderstorm do not require the familiar to continuously maintain energy. Once released, they will continue to attack for a certain period of time.
" Fang!"
Fangy, caught in the center of the raging energy, was being battered from all sides. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
At that moment, his Beastmaster's voice reached his ears.
2.0 Version?
In an instant, Fangy understood what Qiao Sang meant.
" Fang!"
Fangy endured the impact of the violent energy, gathering his own energy and opening his mouth.
In the next second, flames erupted from his mouth.
When the fire touched the lightning energy, there was a loud explosion.
Fangy bared his teeth, his eyes glowing with blue light.
The flames swirled around Fangy, the radius expanding.
Explosions continued, but the constant flow of flames and the powerful Psychic Power created a safe zone around Fangy.
If a professional Beastmaster saw this, they would likely exclaim, "Damn!"
The ferocity of Electric-type energy is well-known, and when combined with Fire Energy, the resulting explosions are incredibly powerful.
Yet, in such a situation, a familiar managed to block the explosions with flames and Psychic Power!
Fire-type energy itself is a trigger for explosions, and at high temperatures, lightning can scatter the flames.
But the flames before them seemed endless, with no signs of being scattered.
Only the shockwaves and white smoke at the outer edges of the flames proved that they had indeed been scattered.
How much energy must be supporting this?!
...
The ground trembled, cracked, twisted, and shattered.
Blazing Star Hound and Lightning Slasher were both at the center of the explosions, out of sight.
The audience couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their hearts pounding.
In the later stages of the National Championship, almost every match featured High-Class Beast Companions.
However, the battle styles of High-Class Beast Companions varied. A fight between two fully engaged familiars like Blazing Star Hound and Lightning Slasher was a first for this year's National Championship.
Everyone was stunned by the ferocity of the two familiars.
An idea flashed through the audience's minds: Wu Chongyu, this kid is impressive. He and Qiao Sang must have both taken a beating, right?
The explosions were too intense, making it hard to believe that any familiar could survive such an onslaught, even one as powerful as Blazing Star Hound.
After all, Blazing Star Hound's strength lay in its offensive power, not its defense.
Almost everyone thought the same.
No one expected Blazing Star Hound to be so fierce, charging straight into the fray. Qiao Sang didn't give any commands, as if to say, "You looked down on me, but now I'm the first to defeat one of Qiao Sang's familiars in this National Championship campus Beastmaster League, and it's his ace, Blazing Star Hound... Lightning Slasher, well done, your sacrifice was worth it... Wu Chongyu stood tall, ready to receive the applause.
In the audience stands, the classmates in white school uniforms, their expressions excited, held up banners reading, "Wu Chongyu, Charge Forward! Victory in Every Match!"
They were waiting for the smoke to clear and the referee to announce a draw.
Soon, the explosions subsided, and the smoke dissipated.
Wu Chongyu suddenly stiffened, and the excited expressions of the classmates in white school uniforms froze, quietly lowering their banners.
On the field, Blazing Star Hound stood with his head tilted at a 45-degree angle, despite his injuries, his presence still formidable.
Next to him, Lightning Slasher lay on the ground, eyes closed.
