In the audience seats,
"Quick, sit down." Jiang Yuntao reacted swiftly, pulling Zhuang Jianbai, who was about to stand, back into his seat while casting an apologetic glance at the audience behind them.
"What's going on?" he asked softly.
"Teacher, that's the Gale Hound," Zhuang Jianbai said, his voice dry, his expression shifting.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuntao's eyes immediately turned serious.
"I can't be mistaken," Zhuang Jianbai said in a low voice.
He was all too familiar with that Gale Hound; its size, its movements, its demeanor, had been appearing in his dreams on time for the past few nights.
This was definitely that Gale Hound.
Moreover, Zhang Hao addressed that person as 'Brother Yuan,' and this advisor is also called Chen Yuan…
"No wonder," Jiang Yuntao said, patting his student's shoulder thoughtfully, "It's not a disgrace for you to lose to the association's advisor."
It was just that why a forest ranger had transformed into an advisor of the Bao Kun City Beast Tamers Association, there must be many stories behind it, but Jiang Yuntao wasn't curious.
Right now, he only hoped that his student would stabilize his mentality.
"But…"
"Your current task is to calm your emotions, watch the battle carefully, find his flaws and weaknesses, and then claim victory in the next battle," Jiang Yuntao said.
"…Okay," Zhuang Jianbai nodded after a long while.
On the field,
Cola stood majestically on the green turf, the roar of cheers like a tsunami ringing in its ears, its tail wagging rapidly, the corners of its mouth stretching into an ever-widening grin.
At this moment, Cola wanted to run around the stadium ten times, greeting every cheering spectator, but it remembered Big Sister's reminder—win the match!
"Woof woof!"
Looking up at the Rockfall Giant directly in front, seeing its massive body, its robust physique, and its hard armor protecting it, Cola couldn't help but swallow secretly, falling into self-doubt.
But this thought vanished in an instant, Cola's gaze sharpened, it lowered its body, barking repeatedly: "Woof woof woof!"
If Big Sister doesn't make a move, I'm invincible!
"A Gale Hound, huh?"
The pet beast Chen Yuan sent out was beyond Shi Gang's expectations. He had made many preparations to deal with that Flame Cloud Falcon, even contracting this hard-won Rock-type pet beast at a great cost, and spent all his contribution points to exchange for resources, allowing this Rockfall Giant to break through to the Second Order on the eve of the match.
"It's all the same no matter who comes," Shi Gang muttered to himself, then telepathically commanded, "Rockfall Giant, Gravel Barrage!"
In an instant, the Rockfall Giant's dark eyes flickered with a faint light, two faintly visible pentagram symbols appeared on its forehead, and dozens of sharp rocks gathered in front of it, continuously shooting towards Cola!
"Windwalk," Chen Yuan's thought arose instantly.
No matter what kind of opponent you face, it's never wrong to strengthen your own abilities first and test the opponent's strength.
"Woof woof."
Cola barked, a gust of clear wind rising beneath its feet, its speed increasing sharply in an instant, running wildly around the edge of the battlefield.
Its speed was very, very fast, able to cross several meters in a short moment, causing bursts of cheers.
Bang bang bang!
The gravel naturally couldn't accurately hit Cola, all of it smashing into the ground, making bang bang bang impact sounds.
Taking this opportunity, Cola had already approached the Rockfall Giant, several wind blades gathering on both sides of its body, carrying a sharp aura, suddenly attacking!
The wind blades accurately struck both arms, stirring up a cloud of smoke.
However, when the smoke cleared, only faint marks were visible on the surface of the Rockfall Giant's arms. It grinned, suddenly stomping heavily on the ground, sending out a strong wave of air.
The air wave blew over, ruffling Cola's fur, it squinted its eyes and glanced at the big guy in front of it, immediately annoyed: "Woof woof woof!"
You dare provoke me!
"Pretty tough, huh?"
Seeing the Rockfall Giant almost unscathed, Chen Yuan showed a thoughtful expression, nodding slightly.
Rock-type pet beasts are mostly amazingly defensive, but they usually have a fatal flaw—clumsiness.
It just so happens that the Rockfall Giant's opponent is a Gale Hound that is unbelievably agile.
In the audience seats,
"Who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Jiang Yuntao asked.
"The Gale Hound," Zhuang Jianbai replied without hesitation.
Jiang Yuntao leaned forward and looked at the battlefield, asking, "Why?"
Zhuang Jianbai said concisely: "The Rockfall Giant is even clumsier than my Frostwind Hound."
As the Beast Tamer of the Rockfall Giant, Shi Gang knew the former's weaknesses better than anyone else, so his eyes narrowed, and he commanded: "Dust Devil."
In the next moment, the Rockfall Giant stomped on the ground, and rolling yellow sand swept over, the violent dust covering half of the field, instantly obscuring the originally clear vision.
The yellow sand rolled, and tiny gravel flew all over the sky, which made Cola very uncomfortable, its body swaying slightly, involuntarily squinting its eyes.
The commentator's voice sounded at the right time: "Dust Devil is a control-type skill. Although it doesn't have lethality, it can affect the opponent by changing the surrounding environment."
"For Rockfall Giants, which are relatively heavy pet beasts, Dust Devil can make up for the disadvantage very well."
Rumble!
Taking advantage of the moment when the Gale Hound was bound by the Dust Devil, Shi Gang quickly had the Rockfall Giant stride out, seizing the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
The huge body broke into the sandstorm, a strong sense of oppression crashing down, those huge eyes staring intently at Cola.
Chen Yuan didn't panic, his eyes were calm: "Wind Surge."
The sand blew up Cola's light brown fur, and sand grains got into its eyes, but Cola endured the strong urge to rub its eyes, suddenly raising its head and roaring: "Woof!!!"
In an instant, a gale roared from all directions, the violent airflow blowing the sandstorm, actually blowing away all the sand in a short time.
Above the field, the sandstorm dissipated, and the gale roared.
"Amazing proficiency!" Seeing this scene, the commentator's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Being able to blow away the sandstorm in an instant shows that the proficiency of Wind Surge is far better than that of Dust Devil."
For a time, exclamations arose.
"I just lowered my head to drink some water, and the sandstorm is gone?"
"Both advisors are so strong, are both of their pet beasts Second Order?"
"This level of confrontation is undoubtedly Second Order."
"Just looking at the surface, it feels like the Rockfall Giant is stronger, but after the confrontation just now, it feels like the Gale Hound is much stronger."
Hearing the conversation of the Beast Tamers next to him, Zhuang Jianbai's lips curled up slightly.
That was the Gale Hound that easily defeated his own Frostwind Hound, of course it was very strong.
But at the moment this thought popped into his mind, his expression stiffened involuntarily.
Did he already subconsciously regard fighting the Gale Hound as his honor?
Regardless of how intensely the audience discussed, the gale continued to sweep the field, violently blowing against the Rockfall Giant.
However, unlike in the past, the Rockfall Giant's tonnage was too amazing, and its body only swayed slightly, without any signs of falling.
"The wind can't knock down the Rockfall Giant," Seeing the Rockfall Giant standing still in the gale, Shi Gang laughed loudly.
It doesn't matter if the Rockfall Giant can't catch up with the Gale Hound, anyway, the latter can't cause effective damage to it.
"Rockfall Giant, grab it."
Seeing that the Rockfall Giant was not far from the Gale Hound, Shi Gang tried to seize this fleeting opportunity.
The Rockfall Giant suddenly stretched out its thick right arm, but Cola easily dodged it with a nimble step, the former not discouraged, continuing to grab, Cola continuing to dodge.
Grabbing and dodging, Cola and the Rockfall Giant were already close at hand.
Shi Gang's eyes lit up, realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "Rockfall Giant, Rock Burst Fist."
The Rockfall Giant looked angry, roaring out loud, then clenched its palm into a fist, wrapped in a layer of brown light, and slammed it towards Cola with great force.
However, Cola's speed was unbelievably fast, actually circling to the left side of its body, the attack missing, smashing a large pit in the green turf.
The Rockfall Giant had to manipulate its large and heavy body, slowly turning around.
But when it turned around, Cola's figure had long disappeared, the Rockfall Giant scratching its head, looking puzzled.
In the audience seats, a burst of laughter followed.
"It belongs to being played by a dog."
"You'd be played too if you were up there."
"It is recommended that Advisor Shi Gang concede, it's just being teased and played with if you continue to fight."
It turned out that in the instant the Rockfall Giant turned around, Cola had circled back from the right side, returning to its back.
"Woof woof~"
Seeing the clumsy and dazed Rockfall Giant, Cola's eyes were full of mockery.
"Wind Blade, hit its heel."
While Cola was teasing the Rockfall Giant, Chen Yuan carefully observed the latter, finding that its heel was not covered by armor, which was obviously its weakness.
"Woof!"
Cola roared, and several wind blades attacked in an instant.
Shi Gang had already noticed something was wrong, and issued an order at the first moment the wind blades gathered: "Rock Burst Fist."
With the Rockfall Giant's super defense, continuing to block the wind blade attack would not be a problem.
The most urgent thing was to catch this agile Gale Hound.
However, when the Rockfall Giant turned around and punched again, the wind blades hit its heel one after another, a knife-like pain spreading from the sole of its foot upwards.
"Roar!"
The Rockfall Giant's body paused, its attack stopping, its legs trembling uncontrollably, followed by its body swaying.
"Wind Surge, knock it down," Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, seizing this rare opportunity.
“Owww!”
In an instant, a gale howled, and the Rockfall Giant swayed even more noticeably. Immediately afterward, Cola leaped up, its determined gaze fixed on the Rockfall Giant's back, and charged forward!
Thump!!!
This final impact was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Rockfall Giant's back bore the brunt of the force, and coupled with the impact of the gale, its body shook violently, and the next moment, it fell straight forward onto the ground.
Its massive and heavy body crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit. Headfirst, the once indestructible Rockfall Giant lay motionless.
Dust billowed up and lingered for a long time before dissipating.
The once silent arena erupted in an uproar, and deafening cheers echoed in their ears.
Cola strode up to the fallen and unconscious Rockfall Giant, its azure eyes filled with excitement, its light brown fur swaying in the wind, its aura becoming more and more exuberant. Suddenly, it raised its head and looked at the audience in all directions, repeatedly calling out, "Owww, owww, owww!"
At this moment, the big screen only showed Cola's imposing appearance.
On the farm,
Seeing Cola dominating the screen, the little ones immediately became excited, yelling incessantly. Only Runrun Duck was leisurely lying on a rocking chair, squinting its eyes and watching Cola on TV: "Quack, quack, quack~"
Looks so tiring, duck~
Fighting and killing, Duck Duck hates it the most.
In the audience seats,
Jiang Yuntao exclaimed, "The massive and heavy body gives the Rockfall Giant super defensive capabilities, but it also causes it to lose its combat ability the moment it falls to the ground."
"Other pet beasts wouldn't be so fragile when they fall."
Zhuang Jianbai first nodded in agreement, then expressed his own opinion: "Teacher, I also think it's because the Gale Hound kept pulling and consuming its energy. Although the two Wind Blades weren't fatal, they played an important role at critical moments."
After saying this, he stared at the Gale Hound on the field for a long time, his tone complex: "With the Beastmaster's command, it's become more agile and more difficult to deal with."
Jiang Yuntao nodded: "It depends on whether the second pet beast Shi Gang sends out can take down this Gale Hound."
After a pause, he continued, "The Gale Hound's stamina has been greatly depleted. If Chen Yuan's second pet beast isn't as strong as the Gale Hound, Shi Gang still has a chance of winning."
"Now is not the time to give up."
The noise never stopped. Shi Gang recalled the fallen and unconscious Rockfall Giant. After a brief silence, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Yuan directly opposite him and let out a long breath: "Even though I prepared thoroughly, I didn't expect this situation to occur."
This battle was lost too frustratingly. He and the Rockfall Giant were toyed with the entire time, unable to organize effective counterattacks, and were easily manipulated.
Rock-type pet beasts seem indestructible, but once their weaknesses are exploited, the speed of their collapse is beyond imagination.
Shi Gang secretly decided to carry out targeted special training for the Rockfall Giant after the match, but at this moment, he could only clench his fists, tense his nerves, and quickly discard the messy thoughts in his mind, emerging from the defeat of the previous match.
The next moment, he opened his eyes, and a white summoning array appeared on the ground in front of him, and a figure wrapped in white light quickly appeared.
This was a monkey-like pet beast about two meters tall, with a gorilla-like appearance, with a brown and dark gray body, a large head, and a strong physique that was not inferior to the Rockfall Giant. Its arms were even more muscular.
Its most prominent feature was the dense black fluff covering its chest.
The commentator said loudly: "Shi Gang has recalled the Rockfall Giant that lost its combat ability and has instead sent out the Earth-type pet beast, the Herculean Ape."
"The Herculean Ape, as the name suggests, possesses extraordinary strength, and its strength is enough to make pet beasts that underestimate it suffer."
"Compared to the clumsy Rockfall Giant, the Herculean Ape is much more agile."
"We look forward to how the Herculean Ape will deal with this Gale Hound that has just won and is even more imposing."
However, the next moment, Chen Yuan recalled the Gale Hound into the pet beast space, and white light gathered on the ground in front of him.
"Wait, Chen Yuan doesn't seem to want to continue letting the Gale Hound fight. He's going to send out his second pet beast."
"It's here!"
"Chen Yuan has chosen to send out the Fire-type pet beast, the Flame Cloud Falcon!"
"Chirp!"
Accompanied by an extremely penetrating screech, sparks fluttered and danced in the air above the field, flames surged from its wings, and bursts of sparks splashed onto the green field.
In an instant, cheers surged like a tsunami.
"Flame Cloud Falcon!"
Yang Yue and Li Qing looked at the Flame Cloud Falcon fluttering in the air, and various past memories flooded into their minds.
They were not clear about the specific strength of the Gale Hound, but they knew very well what kind of terrifying strength was hidden beneath the Flame Cloud Falcon's petite body.
Compared to the Herculean Ape, which was about two meters tall, the Flame Cloud Falcon did appear petite.
But that aura was not to be outdone. Its dark blue eyes stared at the Herculean Ape on the field for a long time—the latter was slightly hunched over, its powerful arms drooping to the ground, its thick thighs standing firmly on the ground, and its red eyes flashing fiercely.
"Flame Cloud Falcon?" Zhuang Jianbai couldn't help but furrow his brows, and asked in confusion, "Why didn't he continue to send out the Gale Hound?"
The advantages and disadvantages of the Gale Hound fighting the Herculean Ape were not obvious. It all depended on the strength of the pet beast and the command of the Beastmaster.
But the Gale Hound had just won, and its momentum was even stronger. It should have continued to fight.
Jiang Yuntao smiled slightly: "It's also a good idea to recall the Gale Hound into the pet beast space to rest, let the Flame Cloud Falcon consume the Herculean Ape's state first, and finally send out the Gale Hound to seal the deal."
"I just don't know how much strength this Flame Cloud Falcon has compared to the Gale Hound?"
A trace of contemplation flashed in Zhuang Jianbai's eyes: "That's right, this is the safest decision."
Can't find a wrong sentence, a wrong start, a wrong content, a wrong look!
But Chen Yuan didn't consider so much at all. He had already decided on the order of appearance for this performance match yesterday—Cola had no experience in public battles, and coupled with its hard training and efforts during this period, he would let it take the lead.
Spark was a guaranteed existence. Even if Cola didn't perform well, it could turn the tide.
Although it was a performance match, it should be based on the nature of the performance, supplemented by the competition, but since Shi Gang hoped that both sides would go all out, Chen Yuan would naturally take this match seriously.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and a fierce battle was already on the verge of breaking out.
Chen Yuan and Shi Gang stood on both sides of the battlefield, glanced at each other, and gave instructions to their respective pet beasts almost at the same time:
"Flame Cloud Falcon, Flame Surge."
"Herculean Ape, Rock Barrage."
"Chirp!"
Spark screeched, a faint light rising in its eyes, and suddenly spewed out a thick, deep orange flame, which roared over!
In an instant, the flames blazed.
The sharp-eyed commentator immediately shouted: "Deep orange flames!"
"The Flame Cloud Falcon's Flame Surge proficiency has reached the Mastery level!"
At the same time,
A boulder suddenly appeared between the Herculean Ape's drooping arms. It tensed its body, shouted loudly, and threw the boulder at the Flame Cloud Falcon!
Under the power of the Herculean Ape, the boulder roared out.
But the heatwave rolled in, and in an instant, the pillar of fire engulfed it, and the scorching high temperature eroded the boulder, posing no threat to Spark.
Boom!
However, the pillar of fire did not stop and continued to bombard the Herculean Ape on the ground. Fortunately, the latter reacted quickly and quickly twisted its body to avoid it.
Even so, it still brushed past this scorching pillar of fire, and the high temperature burned its fur all over its body.
"Roar!"
The Herculean Ape raised its eyes to look at the Flame Cloud Falcon in the air, its fierceness gone, replaced by a strong sense of solemnity.
In the audience seats,
Jiang Yuntao immediately sat up straight, and said in surprise: "Mastery-level Flame Surge?"
"Did this Flame Cloud Falcon grow up eating Luminous Fruit?"
As far as he knew, none of the Beastmasters inside the Yunhua Beastmaster Academy had a pet beast skill proficiency that had reached the Mastery level.
Every breakthrough in skill level is a huge watershed, which has a huge improvement effect on the pet beast itself.
What's more, this is still a long-range attack skill that is applicable to various environments.
Zhuang Jianbai turned his head to look at Jiang Yuntao, his voice hoarse: "Teacher, could this Flame Cloud Falcon be his initial pet beast?"
Jiang Yuntao suddenly raised his head, his eyes constantly changing.
That's right!
They had previously thought that the Gale Hound was Chen Yuan's initial pet beast, but now it seemed that this view was completely wrong.
But at this moment, Zhuang Jianbai was facing a difficult choice—if he wanted to defeat his inner demon by winning against Chen Yuan, wouldn't he have to defeat the Gale Hound first, and then defeat this Flame Cloud Falcon who had mastered Mastery-level Flame Surge.
But... his initial pet beast was an Ice-type Severe Winter Hound.
For a time, the outside world was extremely noisy, but Zhuang Jianbai fell into a long silence.
This inner demon, should I just ignore it?
After the first round of simple confrontation, Shi Gang deeply realized that something was wrong.
This Flame Cloud Falcon, which had once easily defeated Su Dui's Silver-Armored Mantis, seemed to be too fierce.
If he didn't find a counterattack method quickly, he might lose soon.
Shi Gang was unwilling to suffer a crushing defeat in full view of the public, especially since there were many family and friends in the audience.
He suddenly clenched his fists, took a deep breath and exhaled: "Herculean Ape, Mud Shot."
"Roar!"
The Herculean Ape roared at the Flame Cloud Falcon in the air, and suddenly grabbed two pieces of mud from the ground and threw them at the Flame Cloud Falcon!
The commentator said: "Mud Shot, an Earth-type skill, the damage effect is not obvious, but if it is smeared on the Flame Cloud Falcon, it can effectively reduce its speed."
Before Chen Yuan could issue any commands, the Flamecloud Falcon independently evaded, darting left and right with lithe agility.
Seeing that both mud clumps missed, the Monstrous Strength Ape's hand movements became lightning-fast, continuously grabbing mud and flinging it, one after another, forcing the Flamecloud Falcon to tirelessly dodge.
Seizing this opportunity, Shi Gang's gaze sharpened: "Jump up and use Savage Strength Fist!"
The Monstrous Strength Ape grasped the instant the Flamecloud Falcon dodged the last mud clump, stepped forward and charged, suddenly leaping up several meters high, its powerful Savage Strength Fist following close behind!
The force of the fist howled, scattering the air.
Chen Yuan kept a close watch on the Monstrous Strength Ape's movements, and the moment it jumped, he telepathically commanded: "Flame Energy Assault."
"Chirp!"
Its sharp gaze fixed on the Monstrous Strength Ape leaping high, Huohua spread its wings, flames instantly surging, covering its entire body in a flash, its momentum rising steadily!
In an instant, Savage Strength Fist and Flame Energy Assault collided fiercely, stirring up a cloud of smoke in mid-air, enveloping both pet beasts.
On the large screen, only smoke filled the view, obscuring the figures of the two pet beasts.
Many viewers craned their necks, and several cameras were also moving rapidly, trying to capture the first moment the two pet beasts reappeared.
At the farm,
"Quack quack quack," the Rourun Duck, who had been sitting on the recliner, finally got up, squeezed in with its little companions in front of the TV, and nervously watched the big screen.
"Crack."
Only Tie Touwa remained unmoved, leaning against the wall, his face radiating a hundred percent trust in the Big Sister.
The Big Sister is invincible!
Finally,
the smoke gradually dissipated, and all the viewers present cast tense and expectant gazes, the entire arena silent.
"Chirp—!"
Accompanied by a crisp cry, Huohua spread its wings and danced in mid-air, sparks falling from its wings, its aura soaring.
"Roar!"
The Monstrous Strength Ape knelt on the ground, its arms propping itself up, most of the fur on its body turned charred, showing signs of burns, looking extremely wretched.
In an instant, deafening shouts and cheers surrounded Chen Yuan and the Flamecloud Falcon.
After two rounds of engagement, Shi Gang was already clear that there was a significant gap between the Monstrous Strength Ape and the Flamecloud Falcon, but he was still not prepared to give up, gritting his teeth and thinking to himself: "No matter what, I have to hold on for a few more minutes."
This was a live broadcast of an exhibition match; if he was easily defeated, where would he put his face?
However, at this moment, a Flame Surge had already roared over, the monstrous firelight reflected in his eyes, and he quickly issued a command: "Avoid it quickly."
The Monstrous Strength Ape, panting heavily, hurriedly avoided the Flame Surge, but still brushed past the pillar of fire, its butt scorched, scalding hot.
The Monstrous Strength Ape couldn't help but touch its butt, and bared its fangs at the Flamecloud Falcon in mid-air.
However, all that responded to it was a pair of indifferent eyes and a surging pillar of fire.
"Pet beasts that can fly are too OP," Yang Yue couldn't help but complain, feeling the same way, seeing that the Flamecloud Falcon could easily launch fatal attacks, but the Monstrous Strength Ape found it difficult to organize effective attacks.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, pet beasts that can fly have always been a popular choice for Beast Masters.
However, pet beasts that can fly are difficult to capture; they often fly away when they see something is wrong, and the probability of successful contract in the wild is extremely low.
Only some pet beasts evolved from small ornamental birds are relatively common; pet beasts evolved from medium and large birds of prey are few and far between.
But Yang Yue believed that from this exhibition match onwards, more Beast Masters would be keen to contract pet beasts that can fly.
Moreover, counterattacks against pet beasts that can fly would gradually increase.
But as it stood, Shi Gang seemed helpless against the Flamecloud Falcon.
Shi Gang also had his own unspoken difficulties and could only sigh inwardly.
He had originally planned to use the Rockfall Giant to exhaust the Flamecloud Falcon's condition, and then send out the Monstrous Strength Ape to fight two against one and achieve victory.
But he didn't expect the Rockfall Giant to be defeated before even seeing the Flamecloud Falcon.
In this way, his plan was completely disrupted.
But since things had come to this, Shi Gang could only admit that he was unlucky, but as a Beast Master, he would fight with all his might until the last moment.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Shi Gang's eyes shone, and he waved his hand: "Savage Strength Fist."
"Roar!" The Monstrous Strength Ape roared in fury, choosing a desperate gamble, suddenly leaping high and swinging the Savage Strength Fist from bottom to top!
Huohua didn't dodge or yield, only a surging pillar of fire suddenly erupted.
Boom!!!
The pillar of fire violently engulfed the Monstrous Strength Ape, flames surging, burning and scorching.
Thud!
The huge arena fell into a deathly silence at the moment the Monstrous Strength Ape fell to the ground.
The referee glanced at the fallen and unconscious Monstrous Strength Ape, confirmed its condition, and shouted loudly: "The Monstrous Strength Ape has lost its ability to fight, therefore, the winner of this exhibition match is Chen Yuan!"
As the words fell, enthusiastic shouts and cheers almost overturned the entire arena, and the large screen showed the figures of Chen Yuan and the Flamecloud Falcon.
"Is this the battle between mid-level Beast Masters? So fierce, I like it so much."
"Consultant Chen Yuan is inhumanly strong."
"It can only be said that there are also differences between consultants."
The taxi driver held his phone and video-chatted with his friends, shouting hoarsely in the deafening cheers: "Did you see that? I've driven him twice!!!"
"Twice!!!"
Jiang Yuntao gently patted Zhuang Jianbai's shoulder, not speaking at first, and after a long while, finally squeezed out a sentence: "Actually... you don't necessarily have to defeat him; sometimes giving up is also a kind of courage."
Zhuang Jianbai didn't speak, only lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and his eyes seemed to burn with flames: "No, teacher, there is still a way."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the spirited figure on the field, muttering in a low voice: "Win the Taibai Cup championship and advance the Yan Dong Hound to the Commander rank."
Shi Gang lowered his head and looked at the fallen and unconscious Monstrous Strength Ape, remained silent for a long while, then scratched the back of his head and sighed helplessly: "Damn, I still lost."
Although he had prepared well, the plot didn't develop as he had expected.
Just that unexpected Gale Wind Hound had already given him a lot of trouble.
And this Flamecloud Falcon had crushed and defeated his proud Monstrous Strength Ape.
Retracting the Monstrous Strength Ape into the pet beast space, Shi Gang breathed a shallow sigh of relief, then walked towards the center of the field and shook hands with Chen Yuan: "I'm really convinced now; you are the strongest Beast Master in Baokun City."
Chen Yuan shook his head: "It's just an exhibition match; it's not about being the strongest."
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, you are also very strong."
Shi Gang revealed a bright smile.
"How about it? Want to go grab a couple of drinks later?" After this crushing defeat, Shi Gang was already completely convinced and took the initiative to invite him.
It was true that he liked face, but he had always respected people who were more powerful than himself.
Moreover, being able to fight such a powerful Beast Master for so long was also an honor.
Shi Gang was even thinking that as long as Chen Yuan became more and more powerful, defeating more and more powerful Beast Masters, wouldn't he be able to brag to others that he had fought Chen Yuan for a long time and even received his praise in person.
"Sure," Chen Yuan readily agreed.
The host appeared at the right time: "Thank you to both consultants for presenting us with such a wonderful battle; let us once again give the warmest applause..."
Amid the warm applause, the two left through the player tunnel.
Shi Gang strode towards the lounge, while asking the staff member waiting beside him: "How was it?"
"The Monstrous Strength Ape fought the Flamecloud Falcon for three minutes and twenty seconds, exceeding the Silver Armor Mantis's endurance time," the staff member replied.
Shi Gang grinned: "Hahaha, that's good; at least I'm not at the bottom."
The Silver Armor Mantis was defeated in two minutes, and he was defeated in three minutes; didn't that mean he was actually more powerful than Team Leader Su?
Thinking of this, the slightly frustrated mood caused by the failure completely disappeared.
"Maybe? I might even be able to be a Captain of the Investigation Department in the future?" he thought happily.
When Chen Yuan returned to the lounge, he saw Zhou Xu give him a thumbs up: "Consultant Chen Yuan, you can be considered a household name in our Baokun City from now on."
Chen Yuan replied: "I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing; having a reputation and not having a reputation are two different things."
"Putting aside everything else, if you go out to eat now, someone will definitely rush to pay the bill."
After exchanging a few words, Zhou Xu asked: "Are you going back now or staying to watch the matches?"
Chen Yuan had considered this question yesterday, so he said without hesitation: "I'll watch the matches for two days first."
Through this exhibition match, Chen Yuan found that the overall level of Beast Masters in Baokun City was not as low as he had imagined; at least he couldn't completely crush them.
If he couldn't kill with one blow, what was the point of pet beast battles?
The main thing was that there were many pet beasts here that he had never seen before.
