Chapter 521: Chapter 480: Really Thick-skinned

Hearing their Beast Tamer’s words, Yaobao and the Crimson Sprint Dragon almost simultaneously raised their heads and opened their mouths.

Two energy spheres containing terrifying power were launched into the sky, one after the other.

In terms of visual effects, the red sphere was at least three times bigger than the golden one.

Soon, both energy spheres exploded in the air like fireworks.

The next second, a rain of fire fell like a torrential downpour, and the fearsome flames quickly ignited the entire field.

Under the night sky, the blaze was dazzling and startling.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The terrifying flames kept falling, intermixed with a dozen meteorites that resembled mere embellishments.

If the audience hadn’t known from the beginning that the Crimson Sprint Dragon had executed Dragon Stars Group, the bright and dazzling flames almost blinded them, nearly preventing them from noticing the existence of the meteorites.

The red flames burned fiercely, the venom on the ground splattered, evaporated, and the loud impact of the meteorites hitting the ground created a visual shock unlike any other.

A pair of eyes stared blankly at the red scene on the field as if looking into another world.

Most of those present were students, whose knowledge of power mainly came from the internet and textbooks.

Dragon Stars Group and Mars Rain had been compared before, and almost everyone subconsciously thought the Dragon-type Pet Beast’s skills were more formidable, but they forgot that the power generated by a skill could vary greatly with proficiency.

Although many had seen the live version of Dragon Stars Group and Mars Rain separately before, it was their first time to clearly recognize the stark disparity between the two when compared side by side...

...

The field quaked.

The flames raged.

In midair, the Crimson Sprint Dragon moved like a high-speed fighter jet, dodging swiftly through the flames.

Yaobao also dodged, but compared to the Crimson Sprint Dragon, it only needed to swerve around a few meteorites, which was almost too easy.

Something was off... Qiao Sang watched the silhouette of the Crimson Sprint Dragon, her brows tightly knit.

The Crimson Sprint Dragon had strong defenses and some resistance to Fire Element skills, true, but it was still abnormal for it to move through such intense Mars Rain.

Qiao Sang’s gaze tried to keep up with the Crimson Sprint Dragon, looking more closely.

She soon realized the flames did indeed harm the Crimson Sprint Dragon, but the damage was toughed out, seeming not to be fatal.

This was too strange, was the Crimson Sprint Dragon’s defense this ridiculously strong?

Mars Rain, empowered by Mystique Level and Moonlight Power, hadn’t been able to take it down instantly?

"This Crimson Sprint Dragon has the trait of Magical Scales." Liu Yao said solemnly from the contestants’ area.

Magical Scales reacted when the body was in an abnormal state, increasing its defense.

"We didn’t receive any news about this beforehand," Sun Boyi frowned.

"The Crimson Sprint Dragon’s defense is already high. If not for the Liaoxing Dog’s Mars Rain being so powerful that it immediately caused burn status, perhaps this trait would have remained unknown to everyone even after the national competition ended," Liu Yao said.

Sun Boyi sighed, "A Pet Beast like the Crimson Sprint Dragon shouldn’t even be appearing in a high school competition."

Liu Yao asked, "Do you think a Pet Beast like the Liaoxing Dog should appear in a high school competition?"

Sun Boyi was taken aback, then, gazing at the red and white figure in the sky, he shook his head, "Not to mention high school, even the top university competitions might not be able to field such Pet Beasts."

"Exactly," Liu Yao smiled, "So think of it this way, Zhao Chuanyu contracted the Crimson Sprint Dragon midway through, but the Liaoxing Dog was genuinely bred by Qiao Sang, who is more impressive is clear at a glance."

"Trust in Qiao Sang, she will win."

...

On the field.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, no longer pondering, and decisively said:

"Go!"

Although she did not know what allowed the Crimson Sprint Dragon to withstand Mars Rain, it was certain that the Crimson Sprint Dragon was injured, and its special attack would decrease after executing Dragon Stars Group, making now the best time to strike!

"Yaobao!"

Upon hearing their Beast Tamer’s words, Yaobao let out an excited cry, its eyes locked onto the Crimson Sprint Dragon. Dodging the meteorites, it transformed into a blaze of fire, rushing furiously towards the Crimson Sprint Dragon.

The Swift Red Dragon dodged by flying sideways.

In the very moment it was about to evade, Yaobao split in half, and another Liaoxing Dog identical to Yaobao suddenly appeared above the Swift Red Dragon’s head, extending fiery claws and swiping downward fiercely.

"Chichik!"

This time, the Swift Red Dragon flew downwards in pain, stabilizing itself at a height of around two meters from the ground.

Things didn’t look good... Zhao Chuanyu felt his heart sink.

The Liaoxing Dog, empowered by Moonlight Power, unleashed a Mars Rain far more potent than he had anticipated.

Although the Swift Red Dragon knew many high-level skills, none were highly proficient.

It previously didn’t seem weak, but compared to this Mars Rain, the difference was glaringly obvious.

Now, with the Swift Red Dragon’s special attack weakened, and the Magical Scales’ effect being temporary, it still had to endure the onslaught of Mars Rain—now was not the time for a head-on confrontation.

A strategic withdrawal was necessary...

With this thought, Zhao Chuanyu wanted to issue a command to retreat, but before he could speak, Yaobao and the Swift Red Dragon had already clashed head-on in mid-air.

Moving through the air, their figures intertwined.

The Swift Red Dragon was covered with wounds inflicted by the Mars Rain.

After avoiding several of Yaobao’s assaults, it could no longer bear it, swinging its sturdy tail at the approaching Yaobao with force.

"Yaobao" was cleaved in two, vanishing without a trace.

Realizing it had been duped by a Doppelganger, Swift Red Dragon flapped its wings, trying to swiftly escape; but at that moment, the true Yaobao lunged forward with its fiery jaws wide open.

Mottled light flickered around it, and the fire-forged fangs appeared even more ferocious than ever.

"Chichik!"

Yaobao bit down on the Swift Red Dragon, which cried out in agony and fell to the ground.

But that wasn’t enough—Yaobao increased the force of its bite.

The Swift Red Dragon continued to retreat, and just as it was about to exit the designated area of the arena, its sharp claws dug deeply into the red-hot ground, sparking a shower of flames.

The atmosphere in the stands was incredibly tense at this moment.

Viewers from the Yuhua Region were flushed with excitement, breathing heavily.

Whereas viewers from the Zhongkong Region looked tense, panic-stricken inside.

It was so close, the Swift Red Dragon was nearly forced out of the arena boundary!

...

On the field.

Having clashed to this extent, retreating would seem too cowardly... The current situation also presented an opportunity... Seeing this, Zhao Chuanyu didn’t hesitate to give the command:

"Gravitational Throw!"

"Chichik!"

With a cry, the Swift Red Dragon spread its arms wide, clutching Yaobao tightly, and then with the muscles in its lower limbs tensed, it soared into the sky with Yaobao in tow in an instant.

Meanwhile, the rain of fire kept falling, but the Swift Red Dragon’s eyes were bloodshot, and it was in an extremely frenzied state, seemingly immune to the pain.

This is bad! Qiao Sang shouted:

"Bite harder!"

Yaobao was equally exhilarated, and the flames on its fangs suddenly expanded again; the fiery teeth sank deeper into the Swift Red Dragon’s flesh.

The Swift Red Dragon showed a pained expression, but its speed did not decrease.

Beautifully done! Zhao Chuanyu was excited.

The Swift Red Dragon had never suffered such severe injuries before; he also didn’t know that its willpower and defensive resilience could be this strong!

Tough as old boots... Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grumble internally.

Gravitational Throw, a high-level Combat Series skill, used gravity to fling the opponent and inflict massive damage—it was also the move that defeated Satow during Zhao Chuanyu’s last battle with Cui Pingkun.
