Chapter 904: The Evaluation Ends
Chapter 904: The Evaluation Ends (Combined)
Ideals are full, but reality is lean.
When Qiao Sang heard the Examiners say "Move", he knew his thoughts had been seen through.
After all, Thunderhead had already experienced being moved to block Skills. How could it obediently stay in the same spot again, waiting to be controlled?
High in the sky, Sky Challenger carried Thunderhead, darting through the Torrential Rain and lightning.
Boom!
With deafening thunder, bolts of golden lightning split the sky.
If he didn't act soon, it would be too late. If Treasure Seeker were struck by this Heavenly Thunder, even Fangy might be knocked out. Seeing the lightning grow more intense, Qiao Sang no longer hesitated and shouted:
"Shadow Control!"
Treasure Seeker, seeking security by Fangy's side, widened its eyes in disbelief when it heard its Beastmaster's command. It couldn't believe that in such a terrifying situation, it was being asked to step up instead of Big Brother Yabao!
Boom!
A bolt of lightning illuminated Treasure Seeker's face.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker clenched its teeth, its eyes becoming resolute.
It let out a loud cry, and suddenly, a massive, 6-meter-long Ghost Ring King, identical to itself, appeared on the Arena.
Treasure Seeker raised its claws.
The Ghost Ring King raised two Short Toes.
Two broad shadows suddenly emerged from the tips of the Short Toes, rapidly expanding, splitting, and transforming into dozens of eerie Shadows. They extended and wrapped around Sky Challenger, who was moving in the sky.
The combination of Dark Shadow and Shadow Control Techniques was impressive, but it still wasn't enough... The middle-aged man observed the scene and assessed it in his mind.
In reality, if evaluated by the standards of a single familiar, the previous Ice Emperor Ram was already enough for Qiao Sang to pass the evaluation. However, for a B-Class Beastmaster, the evaluation criteria were never so simple.
Despite its massive size, Sky Challenger moved swiftly.
Even as the Shadows wrapped around it from all directions, it easily dodged them by moving up and down.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed.
The dark clouds, pouring down endless Torrential Rain and lightning, trembled violently. A huge tear appeared in the cloud layer, and a bolt of lightning lashed down like a divine punishment, heading straight for Treasure Seeker.
"Chirp."
Sky Challenger's speed slightly decreased as it looked down.
At the same moment, Fangy teleported above Sky Challenger.
"Thunder Roar!"
Thunderhead reacted quickly, lightning surging from its body as it struck upward.
The lightning struck Fangy hard.
"Ya!"
But it didn't retreat. Instead, it braced against the lightning, opened its mouth, and revealed its sharp fangs, biting down fiercely on Sky Challenger's wings.
"Chirp!"
Sky Challenger let out a tragic screech.
Lightning flashed.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker shuddered and teleported away from its original spot.
In the next second, Fangy, still biting Sky Challenger, appeared where Treasure Seeker had just disappeared.
Boom!!
A magnificent lightning dragon struck Fangy and Sky Challenger, the Training Ground below exploding into fragments, with countless rocks flying everywhere.
"Chirp!!"
Sky Challenger let out a shrill, agonized cry.
Fangy clung to Sky Challenger, refusing to let go even as the lightning battered its body.
Teleport cannot directly transfer a target through space like Spatial Shift, but with high enough proficiency, it can move a target through contact, along with the user.
Fangy... Qiao Sang watched the scene before her, her heart trembling.
The middle-aged man's pupils contracted sharply.
The situation was completely beyond his expectations!
But he had no time to think.
On the other side, without the Sky Challenger's support, the Thunderhead plummeted from the sky.
"Use lightning on the ground!" the middle-aged man shouted.
"Thunder Roar!"
Lightning surged from the Thunderhead, striking the ground.
The lightning interwove, shattering the rock and sending it flying upward.
The Thunderhead used the large chunks of rock flying upward as footholds, leaping downward.
"Control it!"
"Dodge!"
Another human voice and her Beastmaster's voice rang out in quick succession.
Before the Thunderhead could react, dozens of shadows swiftly bound it tightly from all directions.
Thunderhead: "!!!"
In the dim sky, a torrential rain fell like machine gun fire, and golden lightning continually struck.
The Thunderhead, controlled by Shadow Binding, was deliberately thrown into the path of the lightning.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker floated in mid-air, its short toes moving about.
The giant Ghost Ring King synchronized its movements.
A terrifying bolt of lightning split the sky.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker was startled and quickly maneuvered the Thunderhead above itself, blocking the lightning.
"Thunder Roar!!!"
"Thunder Roar!!!"
"Thunder Roar!"
"Thunder Roar..."
The Thunderhead's initial cries of pain gradually faded until it could no longer scream.
Just as the Treasure Seeker let out a sigh of relief, her Beastmaster's voice rang out again:
"Dodge!"
Almost instinctively, the Treasure Seeker's eyes glowed blue, and it vanished from its spot, teleporting a hundred meters away into the sky.
Looking down, it saw countless green Gale Blades attacking its former position and the enlarged Ghost Ring King.
The enlarged Ghost Ring King instantly disintegrated and disappeared under the assault of the green blades.
Not far from where the Ghost Ring King had vanished, the Thunderhead lay on the ground, eyes closed.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker patted its chest.
Thank goodness it had escaped in time.
Suddenly, it sensed something and looked up, only to see the creature that Big Brother Yabao had taken down, now covered in injuries, staring at it from the sky.
"!!!"
The Treasure Seeker realized something and quickly looked down.
To its shock, it saw Big Brother Yabao lying on the ground, covered in wounds.
Just one glance, and the Treasure Seeker's heart sank.
If Big Brother Yabao was down, how could it possibly continue fighting!
"Dodge!"
Her Beastmaster's voice rang out again.
The Treasure Seeker reacted on instinct, teleporting away.
The green blades swept through its former position once more.
Blazing Fire hadn't been triggered this time... Qiao Sang was multitasking, keeping an eye on both the Treasure Seeker and the Sky Challenger while also monitoring Fangy's situation.
The full force of the Heavenly Thunder was too powerful; although it had severely injured the Sky Challenger, Fangy had clearly suffered even more.
Although the Treasure Seeker had successfully dealt with the Thunderhead, if Fangy were to fall, it might not be able to defeat the already injured Sky Challenger with its current attack power.
No, Fangy wouldn't fall so easily. Its Blazing Fire hadn't appeared yet, and the Flame Fusion it had trained for so long hadn't been used...
As these thoughts raced through her mind, a striking flame suddenly surged up in the torrential rain.
In the midst of the flames, Fangy, despite his heavily wounded body, slowly rose to his feet.
At that moment, Qiao Sang's heart instantly calmed down.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker, high in the sky, was almost in tears.
Big Brother Yabao was up on his feet!
He was no longer fighting alone against that massive creature!
"Attack the larger one!" the middle-aged man commanded, assessing the situation.
Although Flame Kiru had doubled its combat power by standing up with the Blazing Fire, this was its final stage. Compared to the Ghost Ring King, who was relatively unharmed and could teleport and use Spatial Shift, Flame Kiru seemed more likely to be quickly defeated in a short time.
"Chirp!"
Sky Challenger's wings flapped downward with force.
Midway through the flap, a wound on its wing caused intense pain, making it grimace and pause.
This was the result of Fangy's bite. The opportunity was here! Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and he shouted:
"Aim for its wings!"
When a flying beast's wings are injured, its combat power drops dramatically!
"Fang!"
Fangy opened his mouth, and a beam of red light with a golden hue shot out, hurtling toward Sky Challenger at an astonishing speed!
Sky Challenger continued its previous action, flapping its wings downward.
Instantly, a terrifying gale swept up.
Then, its wings suddenly spread wide.
The reddish-brown wings condensed white light, growing to a staggering twenty meters in length, resembling long, crescent-shaped blades that swiftly dove from the sky.
But at that moment, its body seemed to be controlled by an unseen force, freezing in mid-air for a second.
In that second, the red-gold beam broke through the gale and approached.
"Cut!" the middle-aged man called out.
"Chirp!"
Sky Challenger broke free from the control and flapped its wings downward.
A twenty-meter-long crescent blade sliced through the air, cutting through the beam.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion echoed as the red-gold beam burst, sending a violent shockwave and flames sweeping in all directions, engulfing even Sky Challenger's shadow.
"Fan!"
The middle-aged man issued another command.
Another terrifying gale descended from above, pushing the exploding flames back to the original gale's position.
The scorching gales instantly swept through the surroundings.
Using the strength from the Blazing Bomb to enhance the gale's power... Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and shouted:
"Encircle!"
As soon as he spoke, Fangy transformed into a flame and charged into the scorching gale.
On the other side, the Treasure Seeker teleported behind the Sky Challenger, raising its claws to condense a Shadow Orb.
Its eyes glowed blue.
Indeed, with its wings injured, the Sky Challenger moved much less... Qiao Sang observed the scene in the sky, analyzing instinctively.
"Chirp!"
Sky Challenger's wings spread, about to condense energy, but it found itself immobilized again.
In that 0.01-second immobilization, Fangy broke through the scorching gale and bit down hard on the previously injured wing.
Flames burned and erupted from Fangy's fangs.
"Chirp!"
Sky Challenger let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Then, a compressed Shadow Orb continued to strike the injured wing.
Fangy teleported away.
The Shadow Orb hit its mark.
Sky Challenger screamed and fell into the gale.
Does this Flame Kiru have the Flash Fire trait? It just charged through the flaming gale without any apparent effect... The middle-aged man took a deep breath and issued the final command:
"Spinning attack."
Yes, the final command.
If these two familiars could withstand this attack, he felt that this evaluation could be considered passed.
Hearing the other's command, Qiao Sang immediately became alert.
The scene she had imagined, where the Sky Challenger would fall from the Gale, did not happen. Instead, it flapped its Wings and stabilized itself within the Gale once again.
Was the gap between a Royal Beast and a General-Class Beast Companion really this enormous? Even after being hit in vital spots one after another, it could still maintain its stance... Come to think of it, why did it use Gale on Fangy the first time? Wouldn't it have been better to use Wing Slash directly? And why is it stabilizing itself within the Gale now... A series of questions flooded Qiao Sang's mind.
Suddenly, she realized something, her pupils constricting as she shouted:
"Defend, no, Combine!"
Combination Techniques!
It's a Combination Technique!
It's a Combination of Gale and Wing Slash!
The Sky Challenger had wanted to use it before, but Fangy and Treasure Seeker had interrupted it!
The Examiners' command was "Spinning attack." Within the Gale, it would spin while using the Gale's power to attack in all directions with Wing Slash. With the combined Strength of Gale and Wing Slash, the attack range would undoubtedly cover the entire Arena!
A Royal Beast's Combination Technique was far beyond what the Fragile Treasure Seeker and Fangy, who had already burned half of its Blazing Fire time, could withstand.
Defend and lose.
The only chance to win was to strike the Sky Challenger while it was using Skills within the Gale!
Fangy's expression was excited as it opened its mouth without a word.
It had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
A spinning Flame instantly shot out.
Its mouth did not close.
Suddenly, the area around the Spinning Flame began to warp.
Then, a red-golden beam shot out, piercing the center of the Spinning Flame!
At the same time, numerous crescent-shaped Blades, each over twenty meters long, shot out from various directions within the Gale, tearing through the air and slicing through the Arena at terrifying speeds.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker was terrified and began teleporting rapidly.
However, the speed of the crescent Blades was too fast, their numbers too many, and their attack range too wide. After only three teleports, one of the crescent Blades struck Treasure Seeker harshly.
On the other side, the warping Flame and the red-golden beam seemed to merge into one. The twisted Redflame and the red-golden beam intertwined, and the scorching energy suddenly expanded several times over.
The spinning, golden-red Flame shattered one of the crescent Blades and pierced through the Gale, striking the Sky Challenger, which was still using its Skills.
"Bang!!!"
A deafening Explosion echoed.
The Shockwave, carrying crimson Flame, raged in all directions.
Almost simultaneously, a crescent Blade struck Fangy.
The Gale disappeared.
Three shadows fell from the sky, stirring up dust on the ground.
To think that she could use two General-Class Beast Companions to fight the Sky Challenger and the Thunderhead to a standstill... The middle-aged man looked at the distant girl with a complex expression, feeling that this evaluation had brought him too many shocks.
Without even looking, he could sense that his Sky Challenger was in a state of unconsciousness.
The middle-aged man slowly exhaled and prepared to speak.
"Xunxun..."
However, at that moment, Treasure Seeker appeared in the high sky, patting its chest in relief.
It had been scared to death, but thankfully, it had used its Substitute technique in time.
Middle-aged man: "?!?"
The All-Seeing Judge appeared above the Arena, speaking in a human voice: "The evaluation is over."
Middle-aged man: "!!!"
Wait a minute!
He lost?
He lost again?! (End of Chapter)
