The beast starts from zero

"Boom boom boom!!!"

As she finished speaking, the ground cracked, and dozens of giant pillars of fire simultaneously shot up from the ground, piercing the sky and filling the entire arena with a magnificent, scorching heat.

Steelbao controlled the two beams of white light connecting the arms.

In an instant, the two huge curved blades simultaneously slashed in different directions with great rotation.

Wherever it passed, all the pillars of fire that emerged were split horizontally in two and collapsed with a crash.

At the same time, a giant pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the ground below where Steel Treasure was located.

The giant curved blade couldn't immediately retract its downward-slashing pillar of fire, forcing Steel Treasure to halt its movements, transform into a streak of white light, and fly straight upwards to dodge the giant pillar of fire.

Just as it flew upwards, two huge curved blades followed its movement and rapidly rose upwards, transforming back into charred wings that stuck back into its arms.

"Flame Fox disregarded its energy and unleashed a full-scale Infernal Tornado!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis described the situation at breakneck speed: "There are simply too many Infernal Tornadoes! The Skywing Blade has transformed back into wings! Steel Power Emperor has chosen to dodge!"

“It seems that Flame Fox is planning to spread Infernal Tornadoes all over the field,” Auror said thoughtfully. “However, I remember that Flame Fox’s proficiency with Infernal Tornadoes is not high enough to spread pillars of fire all over the field.”

Nephthys said:
"The forms of the Infernal Tornadoes are the same at all proficiency levels, only differing in quantity, power, and the height they reach into the sky. If a pet disregards the burning of its internal energy, it is possible to increase the power of the Infernal Tornadoes. The Flame Sky Fox is already a royal-level pet; if it wanted, it could also spread the Infernal Tornadoes across the entire area."

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai exclaimed with admiration, indicating that with this reckless playstyle, it seemed that Serana was determined to win this match.

“Serana has already lost three games in a row, so she will definitely be giving it her all in this game,” Aurore said.

On the field, Serana gave the command: "Ball."

"Flame Sky!"

Flame Fox let out a loud cry, and the next second, fire ignited beneath its feet. Then, its entire body was engulfed in raging, scorching flames. Immediately afterward, it rolled forward and suddenly transformed into a giant fireball that began to roll.

The giant fireball weaved through the giant pillars of fire, its speed increasing with each roll. Occasionally, it would brush against the edge of a pillar, but it would pass right through it as if unharmed.

Suddenly, the giant fireball collided with one of the pillars of fire.

This time, instead of passing through, it rolled upwards as if it had collided with a solidified pillar of fire.

The giant fireball, like a bouncy fireball, collided back and forth between the pillars of fire, using the force to rise upwards, and in an instant reached a height of over a hundred meters.

"This is the second time Flame Fox has used this move in this Masters Challenge," said Aurore on the commentary stage.

“First, he uses the Infernal Tornado, then he uses Flame Step and Flame Wheel. By using the Infernal Tornado and Flame Step to roll upwards, the speed of moving upwards is faster than Flame Step alone, and there are no rules to follow.” Nephthys exclaimed, “No one knows what the Flame Sky Fox will do next. That’s the wonder of combining the Infernal Tornado, Flame Step, and Flame Wheel.”

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai Xin also sighed and called out, indicating that Yan Kong Hu was indeed a completely aggressive type.

During the conversation, high in the sky, Steel Treasure paused briefly in a position unaffected by the fire pillar, then flicked its left wing downwards. In an instant, the wing was flung out and transformed into a huge curved blade radiating holy white light, sweeping towards the fire pillar that Flame Sky Fox was about to use as a stepping stone.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the pillar of fire was split in two.

The giant fireball landed at the broken section in the middle of the pillar of fire, and the upper half of the pillar collapsed with a roar, completely obscuring its shape.

At the same time, the huge curved blade snapped upwards, transforming back into Steel Treasure's wings.

Suddenly, Qiao Sang's pupils contracted sharply, and she shouted in her mind, "Go!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. From the direction of the collapsing pillar of fire, the giant fireball, drenched in scorching flames, shot upwards like a fiery meteor, piercing through the collapsed pillar of fire and rising into the sky at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.

Almost instinctively, Gangbao's entire body glowed with a gleaming iron-gray hue.

A giant fireball, still dripping with flames, slammed heavily into Steelball's body!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, Steel Treasure's massive body was sent flying backward.

The audience gasped in surprise.

"Flame Sky Fox has successfully attacked Steel Power Emperor!" Nefertis exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth.

“The speed of the Flame Wheel will increase as it rolls,” Auror analyzed. “The Flame Fox also has the characteristic of the Reverse Flame Engine. When attacked by flames, its speed will increase. With the speed of these two combined, it is normal that Steel Power Emperor cannot dodge it.”

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai Xin showed a thoughtful expression and called out, indicating that when Gang Quan Huang Ji was attacked, the color of his body changed, which should be the use of a defensive skill. However, it seems to be only the mid-level skill Iron Wall.

Nephthys said, "Powerful defensive skills take time to cast. The fact that Steel Emperor was able to cast Iron Wall so quickly shows that his reaction speed is already very fast."

Auror held a different opinion: "Perhaps Steel Power Emperor felt that Flame Sky Fox's attack just now was not enough, so there was no need to use his trump card defensive skill."

Such a powerful attack... Qiao Sang felt a sudden pain on her body, and her heart sank.

I wonder if Steel Treasure managed to defend itself with Iron Wall. You know, Steel Treasure is larger than a regular royal-level pet, and it also has the properties of heavy metal. To be able to knock it back so far after an impact, you can imagine how powerful it is.

"Steel Power".

In the blink of an eye, Steelball responded in its mind, indicating that it had blocked the attack.

Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately thought to herself:
"After the Flame Wheel hits its target, its speed will increase, and it will definitely attack again immediately. This is also what you should attack..."

Before he could finish speaking, the flames around Flame Fox suddenly expanded, and it arrived above Steel Treasure first. Then, with a chaotic and powerful airflow, it rushed down towards Steel Treasure, who was still flying upwards!

However, just as it was about to hit, the flames around the giant fireball suddenly disappeared, revealing the figure of the Flame Sky Fox.

"Steel Emperor has unleashed Air Absorption!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis immediately understood what was happening and exclaimed loudly.

High in the sky, Flame Fox showed a pained expression as it struggled to breathe and plummeted downwards.

Steel Treasure lost his footing and swung his left wing upwards. The wing instantly transformed into a giant blade radiating holy light, slashing fiercely at the Flame Sky Fox that was right in front of him.

Almost simultaneously, a magnificent giant pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the ground and slammed into Steel Treasure, who had just struck Flame Sky Fox!

"Flame Sky!"

"Steel Power!"

Flame Fox and Steel Treasure were struck by a giant blade and shot into the sky by a pillar of fire, respectively, and screamed in agony less than a second apart.

The audience gasped in surprise.

"Flame Fox was struck by Steel Power Emperor's Skywing Blade!" Nephthys exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth. "However, Steel Power Emperor was also hit by Purgatory Tornado! Both suffered severe injuries at the same time!"

"I never expected that after being attacked by air absorption, Flame Fox could still unleash Infernal Tornado at such a precise location," Auror remarked.

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai let out a loving cry, indicating that Flame Fox seemed to have been prepared. A fully proficient Flame Fox could unleash its Infernal Tornado at a specific location based on its pet's intentions. Flame Fox must have been planning to unleash it from below Steel Treasure long ago; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to execute the move even after being affected by air absorption. It was clearly something it had planned beforehand… Qiao Sang, feeling the pain in his body, suppressed the urge to grimace and looked towards Serana on the distant platform. While feeling troubled, he also felt a surge of excitement.

This is the kind of excitement you get when you encounter a formidable opponent.

To be honest, after winning three games in a row, her initial excitement did decrease a lot, but now it's back.

Serana stood on the high platform, watching the falling Flame Sky Fox, her expression not changing much.

Knowing that Steel Power Emperor could absorb air, she certainly wouldn't let Flame Sky Fox launch a close-range attack unprepared. As long as she was prepared to use Purgatory Tornado before getting close, even if the air absorption range was within reach, Purgatory Tornado could still hit Steel Power Emperor.

After all, air absorption is only a high-level skill, and even if the Infernal Tornado were to spray into an area with no air, it could still break through it.

Unexpectedly, while Steel Power Emperor's movement speed was not fast, its reaction speed and attack speed far exceeded those of ordinary Emperor-level pets. After using Air Absorption, it didn't stabilize its body and directly used Skywing Blade to attack.

Flame Fox won't fall, but it will definitely be severely injured.

However, at present, Gang Quan Huangji is also seriously injured...

Serana gathered her thoughts and issued the command:
"bomb!"

The Flame Fox fell to the ground.

The ground cracked, and flames and rubble flew everywhere.

Upon hearing the command, it endured the excruciating pain and stood up. As it stood up, a fierce, scorching flame suddenly erupted from its body.

A heatwave swept through, and the temperature on the field rose sharply again.

A commotion suddenly arose in the audience.

"It's a raging inferno!" Aurore exclaimed from the commentary booth, "Steel Emperor's Skywing Blade actually sent Flame Sky Fox flying out of the raging inferno!"

“Although it was just a single strike, Skywing Blade is a super-tier skill with both Flying and Steel attributes. Even if it's just a beginner-level skill, its power shouldn't be underestimated.” Nephthys analyzed, “Flame Sky Fox's own defense isn't very high, so it's normal for it to be directly hit by a burst of flames.”

"Xinxin."

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai chirped twice, indicating that although Steel Emperor had high defense, fire type was its weakness, and the attack was a super-class skill. Moreover, it hadn't had time to use any defensive skills. It didn't know whether Steel Emperor was more seriously injured or Flame Sky Fox was more seriously injured.

Auror said:

"It should be that Flame Sky Fox is more seriously injured. Steel Power Emperor is a pet beast that evolves entirely through the power of bonds. If it were seriously injured, Qiao Sang would definitely be in a lot of pain. But she remained calm and only frowned slightly, which means that Steel Power Emperor is not seriously injured."

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai Xin nodded, showing a "that makes sense" expression.

On the field, the Flame Fox, its body engulfed in flames, raised its tail and aimed at the sky.

Instantly, a golden-red beam of light shot from the tip of the tail toward the direction where Steel Treasure was located.

At that moment, the pillar of fire that had shot high into the sky exploded, and Steel Treasure fell to the ground.

"Split!" Qiao Sang commanded in his mind.

High in the sky, hundreds of Steel Power Emperors that looked exactly like Steel Treasure appeared instantly.

With a loud "bang!", the golden-red beam of light struck the spot where Steel Treasure had been, causing the Steel Power Emperor to explode.

“Press!” Serana said.

An invisible sense of oppression suddenly dropped, and almost all of the Steel Power Emperors disappeared, leaving only two or three Steel Power Emperors in the high sky.

The Flame Fox changed direction with its tail, continuously firing golden-red beams of light at one of the closest Steel Power Emperors.

To be able to pinpoint Steel Treasure's true form so accurately, Flame Sky Fox must have left its aura on Steel Treasure's body... Qiao Sang immediately understood what was going on and thought to himself, "Flame Sky Fox in its raging fire state will definitely launch a fierce attack before the raging fire disappears. You are already slow, and now you are injured. If you keep dodging, you will only become a moving target."

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure transformed into white light, dodging the relentless attacks of golden-red beams while mentally calling out to indicate that it knew what to do.

Suddenly, it changed direction and charged straight at the Flame Sky Fox.

The Flame Fox did not dodge, and continued to fire golden-red beams of light from its tail.

Steel Treasure moved rapidly as it approached, dodging as it went.

However, the speed of the golden-red beam attack was clearly superior.

Before long, a golden-red beam of light struck Steel Treasure directly.

With a loud "bang," Steel Treasure's speed did not stop at all. Its body was covered with a very textured black light, as if it were wearing black armor, and it shot straight out from the shock wave of the explosion.

This is… Serana’s pupils contracted slightly.

"It's here! The Steel Power Emperor's hidden defensive skill!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis stood up excitedly and shouted, "It's Absolute Defense! The super-tier skill Absolute Defense! The Steel Power Emperor really did have a powerful defensive move hidden!"

Auror was equally excited: "I never expected that the Steel Power Emperor's hidden skill was Absolute Defense."

"Xinxin."

Zhi Ai let out a heartfelt exclamation, indicating that Gang Quan Huang Ji had finally revealed his hidden moves.

A sudden uproar erupted from the audience.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Steel Treasure spread its wings, and its enormous wings suddenly shot out, severing from its arms and transforming into a massive blade radiating holy light, slashing fiercely at Flame Sky Fox.

Sensing the danger, the Flame Fox transformed into flames and quickly retreated.

However, the moment it moved, the terrifying sense of oppression suddenly dropped.

Caught off guard, the Flame Fox paused for a moment.

It's too late... Serana keenly saw the problem and shouted:
"attack!"

"Flame Sky!"

Flame Fox looked in the direction of Steel Treasure and roared.

The next second, a magnificent, gigantic pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the ground and slammed into Steel Treasure at a frenzied speed.

This time, no screams were heard, and Steel Bao was not blasted into the air.

Within the scorching giant pillar of fire, two enormous blades gleaming with holy light remained completely unaffected, swirling from both sides and striking the Flame Sky Fox from the left and right.

"Flame Sky!!!" (End of Chapter)
