Chapter 439: Chapter 223: Clash at the Pinnacle! The Battle for the Grand Finals! (Part 3)
"Gale Hunting Dog..." Xia Heng’s eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, "I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
He had already seen through Advisor Chen’s intentions.
As the most dominant contestant in this tournament, Advisor Chen’s humble and amiable appearance actually concealed an incredibly confident interior; he wouldn’t change his debut order for any contestant.
The first to be sent out was the Gale Hunting Dog, and the second was the Flame Cloud Falcon.
He wouldn’t worry about his lineup being restrained or targeted; his formidable strength made him fearless.
This was like a level-breaking game: only by defeating the Gale Hunting Dog in front of him could one see the Flame Cloud Falcon behind, and force Advisor Chen to use his full strength.
"Ink Tree Spirit, huh..." Chen Yuan murmured softly.
With this, Spark would face off against the Water Type Furious Wave Crocodile.
In terms of attributes, this battle was slightly unfavorable for Chen Yuan.
But a Beastmaster who can’t handle battles with opposite attributes isn’t a good Beastmaster.
"Wind Stepping."
As thoughts flickered, Chen Yuan decided to proceed steadily and surely.
"Roar!"
Cola raised its head in response, a breeze swirling beneath its feet, the airflow brushing against its body, its speed soaring instantaneously, as it suddenly darted out from before Chen Yuan, charging towards the Ink Tree Spirit.
The Ink Tree Spirit moved sluggishly, almost unable to move its body, appearing like a sitting target to Cola.
Cola’s eyes sparkled, its emotions excited, it could already envision teasing the Spirit, easily defeating it, and then battling the Furious Wave Crocodile, the thrilling scene of defeating two opponents in a row amid cheers from thousands.
This match would cement its title as Donghuang’s number one Gale Hunting Dog!
Cola’s figure had already traversed half the field, the sound of wind roaring behind it, its gaze sharp, as it made full preparations to launch the attack.
The Ink Tree Spirit remained motionless, several wrist-thick tendrils suddenly burst up from the ground, simultaneously rushing towards Cola from all directions, their astonishing speed eliciting a stir.
Compared to the previous days, the thickness and speed exhibited by Corrosive Root Prison showed significant advancement.
"A breakthrough..." Chen Yuan’s eyes shrank as he immediately judged.
Several tendrils erupted, some wrapping around Cola’s hind legs, some around Cola’s tail, and some around Cola’s neck, resembling a tightening wooden cage, causing Cola’s offensive to halt.
"Roar!"
Cola was furious.
Don’t grab my tail!
The professional commentator invited by the tournament committee timely shouted, "Corrosive Root Prison has controlled the Gale Hunting Dog!"
The uninformed audience was still in uncertain awe, yet the Beastmasters with sharp vision immediately noticed the progress in the Ink Tree Spirit’s strength.
"Ink Tree Spirit has broken through to Tier Three." Nie Li frowned slightly, her voice clear.
Only by breaking through to Tier Three could the Ink Tree Spirit keep up with the Gale Hunting Dog’s speed and, at a critical moment, hold it in check.
White Fern was left speechless, and Wild Boar tilted its head, asking puzzledly, "Wasn’t it Tier Two just two days ago?"
Nie Li concisely replied, "High-pressure environments can facilitate Pet Beast’s progress, breakthroughs can happen anytime."
Wild Boar nodded in confusion, couldn’t help asking, "Isn’t Advisor Chen in danger then?"
"No." Nie Li shook her head, looking at the calm-faced, black-haired young man on the field, "Advisor Chen is unbeatable."
Zhuang Jianbai’s eyes shone brightly, his back straightened, he murmured, "Could you really achieve it?"
Achieve what he had long dreamed of.
If the Tier Three Ink Tree Spirit could withstand Gale Hunting Dog’s offensive, then Furious Wave Crocodile would have an advantage facing Flame Cloud Falcon.
Could he really accomplish it?
On the field,
the instant the Gale Hunting Dog was temporarily controlled, Xia Heng hesitated not a bit, choosing to seize this fleeting best opportunity: "Ink Tree Spirit, Thousand Leaves Blade Dance."
Ink Tree Spirit’s breakthrough caught everyone by surprise, including Chen Yuan.
This time, successfully controlling the Gale Hunting Dog was all thanks to information lag; once the opponent was prepared, it would be hard for Ink Tree Spirit to control it again.
In the next moment, Ink Tree Spirit’s main trunk trembled, its crown leaves "clattered" simultaneously, like thousands of blades being unsheathed.
The instant the blades separated from the branches, they glinted with a biting cold light under the spotlights, akin to tens of thousands of flying blades, darting towards Cola.
Seeing Cola fall into a predicament at the outset, the group of small creatures watching in Xuanhe Village instantly became tense, Duck opened its mouth wide, anxious, flapping its wings: "Quack quack!"
Quickly dodge, Duck!
Bear Cub abruptly stood up, fiercely waving its fists, seemingly wanting to rush into the screen to rescue Cola, and simultaneously blow away the irritating Ink Tree Spirit with a punch.
Mr. Xiong remained calm, pressing Bear Cub’s head with his palm, indicating it to stay calm.
Afterward, Mr. Xiong looked up, watching Cola on the big screen, his voice deep and muffled: "Roar."
No one understood Cola’s difficult situation better than him.
"Roar roar roar!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Not only Duck and Bear Cub, but even other wild Pet Beasts watching were agitated, various cries echoing scarily, intimidating the villagers seated in other areas to not dare move.
"Is it really okay to keep these Pet Beasts here?"
"Didn’t Chen say there were only two bears and two foxes?"
"Why..." The village chief, looking at the dozens of Pet Beasts surrounding Mr. Xiong, showed a complex expression, wanting to say but hesitating.
This group of Pet Beasts not only included adorable and gentle harmless types like Ice Dew Rat, Soft Grass, Flowing Cloud Sparrow, but also dangerously unpredictable ones like Black-striped Spider, Silver Armored Mantis.
Has Advisor Chen rounded up all the wild Pet Beasts living nearby?
Song Guohao stroked his chin, pondering, "Maybe something went wrong with some part."
"What then?" The village chief quickly asked.
Song Guohao’s eyes flickered as he spoke thoughtfully, "For now, this is all we can do. We can’t exactly chase them away; it’s not good hospitality."
