’How is this possible!’
His opponent, the student Fang Tiangui, refused to accept such an outco no matter what.
But the battle was still going, and the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon could still fight.
He quickly snapped out of his shock and shouted, "Slam the ground! Kill it!"
Just now, as the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon had slithered across the ground, it had secretly planted over twenty Grass Seeds.
It wasn’t a large number of seeds, as it didn’t have much ti to circle and observe Cyan Treasure.
He had assud Cyan Treasure was weak in close combat, which was why he’d had the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon clash with it head-on, leveraging its defensive advantage.
But he never expected to have run into a steel wall.
Who could have imagined that in a contest of Power, a Basic Type Pet Beast like the Little Cyan Snake would actually defeat a Turtle Wood Flood Dragon with High-star Potential!
This was simply unheard of—utterly and completely absurd.
But he had no ti to ponder why his opponent was so strong.
Right now, he just wanted to regain his honor. He believed his Turtle Wood Flood Dragon was in no way inferior to the Little Cyan Snake.
As long as he could unleash his trump card, everything would be fine.
Before that, he would detonate the Grass Seeds he had just planted to stall for ti, buying a mont to gather power.
As Fang Tiangui shouted, however, the hand signs he made were for a Combined Technique.
The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon looked at its master and received the signal.
It endured the pain and moved its body, not to activate the Grass Seeds, but to channel its Mana and activate the Turtle Wood Scales on its body.
It pressed its head to the ground and swept its body in a circle, launching the scales from its body.
Under the stimulation of its Mana, the scales transford, taking on an ironwood texture. A tallic edge was added to each scale, and they all shot toward Cyan Treasure in a single volley.
Before the battle, its master had already inscribed the Technique patterns for the ironwood blades onto its scales.
After being infused with Grass Elent Mana, the blade characteristic would be activated, giving every scale superior hardness and sharpness. Against an unprotected body like the Little Cyan Snake’s, it was a surefire strategy.
Even if the opponent had cultivated hard Cyan Snake Scales, it would still be easily injured.
After launching the Ironwood Scale Blades, the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon began to writhe. Following its master’s intent, it made a feint. It first used the Scale Blades to kite its opponent from a distance, crawling in circles to plant more Grass Seeds, all while circulating the energy for its ultimate Cultivation Technique, preparing to unleash its final move.
It was a three-part plan. The initial attack was a feint to stall for ti. The Grass Seeds would create a second delay, and the ultimate move would be the finishing blow.
This was the three-pronged attack the Fang Family’s strategists had designed for young Turtle Wood Flood Dragons. Very few Pet Beasts could withstand the full combo.
Even the Red Fla Flood Dragon belonging to Akagi Shu, the top student in their year, would be severely injured and hospitalized if it took the full brunt of the attack.
A re Little Cyan Snake was beneath contempt.
It still had a chance to win.
Both Fang Tiangui and his Turtle Wood Flood Dragon were filled with a burning desire for victory. It had been so long. Other than the Red Fla Flood Dragon, they had never faced an opponent so violent, so oppressive, right from the start.
The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon recalled that swift and ferocious tail whip, and its body couldn’t help but tremble.
HSSS.
’It hurts.’
The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon’s expression changed.
As it tried to move, an excruciating pain shot through the rear half of its body—the part that had been struck by Cyan Treasure’s tail whip.
The force of that whip wasn’t just imnse; it had crippled its muscles. The Flood Dragon couldn’t muster any strength in its entire tail.
Thankfully, it was a Turtle Wood Flood Dragon with outstanding defense. It could still drag its tail forward.
If it had been any other Snake Pet, its entire tail would have likely been smashed into a pulp.
HSSS.
’So painful, so painful—’
The more the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon crawled, the more twisted its expression beca. It felt as if crawling ten ters had taken a lifeti.
Fang Tiangui, watching from the sidelines, also noticed what his Pet Beast was feeling. The searing pain was so palpable he felt it himself, and alarm bells scread in his mind.
’This is bad. It’s too heavily injured!’
Fang Tiangui was used to his Turtle Wood Flood Dragon’s invincible defense. He had rarely seen it lose out in a contest of Power, let alone be severely injured in a single blow.
He couldn’t wait for it to plant seeds now. It didn’t have the Speed to do so anyway.
Cyan Treasure, facing this frenzied assault of Scale Blades, showed no fear.
It used an extrely practiced Z-shaped Shaking Body Technique, weaving nimbly through the storm-like attack as if it were a fish in water.
Each Ironwood Scale slid past its body. After dodging for several seconds, Cyan Treasure broke through the "rainy curtain" of attacks and rushed right up to the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon, facing it directly.
At this point, the distance between them was less than five ters.
"Now! Unleash it now!" Fang Tiangui yelled.
Seeing Cyan Treasure charge at it, the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon gritted its teeth, channeled its Mana to form a Technique Seal, and slamd its tail onto the ground.
With a HUM, a green light erupted from the ground as Grass Elent Life Power spread rapidly across the battlefield.
The roots of the many Grass Seeds planted earlier were stimulated by the Flood Dragon’s Mana. WHOOSH! They blood and grew, turning into small, budding flowers.
Under the Mana’s influence as a Catalyst, they quickly broke through the soil, opened their petals, and revealed erald-green thorns within.
As their stems and leaves swayed, the nearly thirty or forty flowers on the field turned toward Cyan Treasure.
Cyan Treasure didn’t get any closer. Seeing its opponent slam the ground, it knew what its master had warned it about was about to happen.
This was the opponent’s Grass Seed ability—instantly activating dozens of seeds to fire at it.
As long as it could dodge, or hit the opponent before it could fully activate the attack, it could interrupt the move.
As Cyan Treasure had weaved through the curtain of rain, it had already been gathering power, holding a Storm Ball in its mouth.
"Use that move and spit it out! Then, shake-dodge to the right!" Gu Ming shouted simultaneously from a distance.
Gu Ming was standing behind Cyan Treasure, so he could see the Grass Seeds break through the turf and grow into flowers behind it.
It took ti for the flowers to bloom and shoot their projectiles.
The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon’s technique had a casting ti; it couldn’t be activated and fired instantly.
During this period, the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon could have run while activating the technique, stalling until the seeds blood and fired.
However, the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon’s tail was numb and couldn’t be swung powerfully.
If it tried to move it, it would feel intense pain and spasms.
This was far beyond what it had imagined; the blow had directly paralyzed its muscles.
This also turned it into a slow-moving, sitting duck. The difficulty of aiming at it dropped to zero.
Hearing its master’s specific reminder, Cyan Treasure knew what he ant.
’He wants to use *that* move, doesn’t he?’
’The Earth Shifting Technique plus the Storm Ball!’
Cyan Treasure once again perford a Visualization of the simple Transportation Array. This was a simple Array its master had customized for it after studying it with Lu You and viewing the Array Diagram.
In the field of High-star Arrays, this work would score a zero.
But for a One-star Pet Beast, it was at a passing level of sixty points.
The score wasn’t high, and the Array’s effect wasn’t great, but it could help Cyan Treasure transport its Origin Power, and that was enough.
As the Origin Power was transported to its throat, the Storm Ball received an Epic Level enhancent.
It didn’t even need to jerk its head to spit it out. It just had to transport the power with the Earth Shifting Technique, coordinated with the Full Body Breathing Technique.
The next second, the super-charged Storm Ball finished spinning in Cyan Treasure’s mouth and, carrying the Holy Dragon Poison for the Purification of Heretics, shot out with incredible velocity.
BOOM!
Cyan Treasure’s mouth opened, roaring like a giant cannon.
The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon wanted to dodge, but for so reason, a shiver ran down its entire body. Its blood ran cold.
It was as if Death itself had arrived.
It had no ti to think. It reacted purely on instinct, pouring all its Mana into the ground to erect three Turtle Wood Pattern Shields in front of itself.
anwhile, the multicolored Storm Ball struck the three shields in the blink of an eye—THUD, THUD, THUD—and slamd into the Flood Dragon’s body.
At that mont, Cyan Treasure didn’t even need to use the Plant Life Light Wave to activate the poison. It could already see the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon being sent flying.
The Storm Ball itself had no physical form. It was a condensation of Spiritual Qi from various elents, with a bit of snake venom at its core, and nothing more.
When it hit an opponent, it would just cause an air explosion and inject the venom into the gaps between its scales.
However, with the boost from its Origin Power, the super-charged Storm Ball struck like a cannonball, blasting the opponent clean out of the arena and past the human wall of spectators.
On the field, the horoom teacher acting as the referee had commanded her own Pet Beast to intervene and save it two seconds in advance.
Seeing the Turtle Wood Flood Dragon get knocked out of the park like a "ho run," she eagerly announced the result of the battle and quickly ran off the field to check on the creature.
Fang Tiangui’s head was tilted up, his eyes fixed on the sky. The face that should have been twisted with rage was instead filled with utter confusion.
’The Turtle Wood Flood Dragon... was sent flying by the Little Cyan Snake?’
