Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons Chapter 284 284 - Tamer’s Battle Week - 20 (Lightning Demoli

From his position, Ren exchanged a final glance with Min and Taro. They needed no words; they had discussed their strategy enough and knew each strength and weakness of their opponents.

Jin, Kai, and Cass entered from the opposite side. Unlike the previous day, Jin didn't display his usual arrogant confidence. His face reflected intense concentration, almost fierce, betraying how much this battle ant to him.

"Rember the plan," Cass murmured to her companions as they took position. "Jin, neutralize Taro. Kai, take care of distracting the rotten one. I'll keep an eye on Min; my eyes won't be fooled by his camouflage if I see where he steps."

Jin nodded, his eyes remaining fixed on Taro. The beetle represented the only Bronze beast on the opposing team, a tangible threat unlike Min and Ren's 'weak' Iron-rank creatures.

Even so, he couldn't underestimate Ren after what he'd seen the previous day.

"His hydra will be problematic even without the spear," he calculated ntally. "But without his trap-setting tricks and without weapons, his new armor doesn't represent a real threat to my ability. The spirit waves of my tiger will ignore any armor, no matter how resistant it is."

"Both teams have proven their worth yesterday," declared Lin, positioning herself between the two groups. "So rember: the objective is neutralization, not unnecessary damage. Victory is declared when the opposing team is incapacitated or surrenders."

She raised her hand, anticipation rising to almost tangible levels.

"Begin."

Jin imdiately fused his body with the Greater Spirit Tiger. The markings covered his skin while his eyes adopted that characteristic blue glow. Kai invoked his green lizard externally, the creature considerably increasing its defense with stone scale armor, while Cass released her red eagle, which rose majestically over the field.

On the opposite side, sothing unexpected occurred. Neither Min nor Taro finished manifesting their beasts when Ren partially manifested his hydra, the translucent scales appearing on his skin like natural armor.

Also, Ren had already shot forward to the front, alone.

"What is he doing?" murmured a confused spectator.

Jin didn't wait to find out. With a roar that combined human and animal, he also launched forward, his spirit claws glowing with energy.

His initial target was Taro, thinking of eliminating the Bronze-rank threat first. But since the rotten boy had decided to play hero, he could teach him a lesson first about not trusting his new armor too much.

This move should be optimal in his favor. A tar fused with a Bronze 1 Greater Spirit Tiger against a student who had just acquired his new beast; the result seed obvious.

But Jin realized he wasn't the fastest despite his supposed rank advantage.

Ren moved with a speed that no one had anticipated. One instant he was still a dozen ters away, the next he had beco a blur of movent that intercepted Jin before he could cover even a third of the distance between the teams.

"Impossible," gasped soone from the stands. "How can he move like that with an Iron beast?"

Jin, surprised but still confident in his superiority, directed his fist charged with spiritual energy directly toward Ren's chest.

His speed didn't matter if the idiot was heading straight toward him...

"Got you," he thought, sure of his victory.

But Ren executed a movent that left all present astonished. Instead of blocking or dodging, he deflected Jin's wrist with superhuman precision, using a combat technique from Lin.

Jin's fist passed centiters from Ren's chest, the spiritual energy failing to reach him.

And then he counterattacked.

Ren's fist, reinforced by the fused hydra, impacted Jin's jaw with demolishing force. The sound of impact resonated throughout the arena, a dry crack that made many spectators instinctively cringe.

Jin shot backward, rotating once in the air before crashing against the ground. The hardness of his skin and muscles fused with the tiger had prevented serious damage, but the impact had left him instantly unconscious.

"Jin!" shouted Kai, his lizard imdiately accelerating until reaching an impressive speed to charge at Ren with its stone skin.

Cass reacted simultaneously, her red eagle descending in a dive while generating air currents that concentrated around its wings like invisible blades.

Ren now found himself between two simultaneous attacks.

Any normal student would have been caught in this perfect pincer.

Ren wasn't normal.

Instead of retreating or trying to dodge, he did exactly the opposite: he shortened the distance toward Kai with brutal acceleration, moving directly toward the attack as if intending to collide head-on.

When only centiters separated them, Ren executed a turn that seed to defy the laws of physics. Rotating on his own axis, he dodged the attack from Cass's eagle by milliters while his fist, now shining with a diamond-like radiance, impacted exactly at the sa point where he had hit Kai that first ti.

But this ti he didn't just deactivate Kai's ability... This ti, sothing more happened.

The scaly armor of the green lizard, which partially covered Kai, not only lost its characteristic glow, it shattered like crystal under the impact of Ren's "diamond fist."

A sound of fracturing rock preceded the mont when Kai, like Jin monts before, was thrown backward.

Cass's eagle, still in full descent and montarily distracted by the speed of the exchange, adjusted its trajectory. It concentrated energy in its claws, preparing for a direct attack on Ren's exposed back.

"Got you!" exclaid Cass, sure of her advantage.

She never saw what happened next with her supposedly enhanced eyes, distracted as she was with Ren.

A sudden pull brought down her beast in mid-flight. Just when Cass's legs had inexplicably beco trapped in what appeared to be a living mineral formation that had erged from the ground. Soone caught her by the neck, and wrapped around her beast was an aquatic serpent that she hadn't seen materialize.

Min appeared behind her, smiling as he deactivated his invisibility ability. Throughout the exchange, while attention focused on Ren, he had run silently to the perfect position.

"Surprise," he said simply.

Taro, anwhile, had completed the support by immobilizing Cass and her eagle with even more mineral.

Lin observed the scene for three seconds, ensuring that all three mbers of the opposing team were effectively neutralized.

"Victory for Team Ren of Group B," she declared, her voice mixing professionalism with a tinge of genuine amusent.

The stadium fell into absolute silence before erupting in an explosion of reactions. So applauded frantically, others simply watched stunned, unable to process what they had just witnessed.

In the honor stands, Kassian Goldcrest had gone rigid. The calculating expression had been replaced by sothing few had ever seen on his face: genuine concern.

Near him, Sirius Starweaver observed with similar intensity.

"That boy..." he murmured, low enough that only Kassian would hear, "is not just a prodigy. He's a serious problem."
