You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 307 Surely the Martial Arts Bear Master can't switch between a one-hit-strike style and a combo style, right? (8k)
【Huh?? That doesn't make sense, does it? The Desert Dragonfly's dive attack could lose to a Dragonair?】

Having watched many of Xia Chi's matches, I'm completely unmoved; among all his Pokémon, this is the most ordinary one.

Cherish this ordinary Hakkarosaurus, because if it's allowed to grow in the prison for a while longer, it might not be as normal anymore lol.

[Classic scene: Hakuryu is severely injured, dodges everywhere, its healing ability is blocked, and it delivers a victory speech!]

[Senior Ziyu, why are you smiling so happily even though Kiku-sensei lost?!]

【The little cotton-padded jacket is letting in the wind~】

[Hahaha, the same black-hearted cotton as the Wind Fairy!]

[Oldest Ju: Seeing my daughter smile so happily is more painful than losing a competition!]

[But then again, without Dragon Dance or any other buffs, Dragonair's damage is really unreasonable, isn't it?]

To be fair, under normal circumstances, even with a slight advantage due to type advantage, it would be a pipe dream to completely defeat the boss's main force, Flygon, with just four moves.

The gap in hard power between the two sides, as well as the level of refinement in their training, are undeniable.

The problem lies in Boss Ju's battle of wits with the air.

After those two dragon claw strikes, the Dragonair was already in very poor condition.

At least Xia Chi's perception using waveguide power can be described as a flickering candle in the wind.

If we had ignored the Dragon's swooping attack at that moment, or to be on the safe side, we could have used Dragon's Wave combined with Meteor Shower.

It's fair to say that Hakron, who never learned how to "guard," is as dead as can be.

However, Boss Ju was too wary of Hakron's non-existent life-draining ability.

Not only did it emit a completely useless mental noise, it also chased after Hakron for at least ten seconds.

This wasn't just a simple matter of disrupting the rhythm; it also involved being burned for over ten seconds by Hakuryu's "Dragon Field," which deals 2% of maximum health per second in continuous damage!
A simple calculation shows that it's close to 40%, almost half a tube of blood!
With the added attribute bonuses from those three dragon-type moves, achieving this incredible reversal was not a pipe dream.

However, at this moment, the Dragons on the field were already at their limit.

Xia Chi's waveguide could clearly sense that it was struggling to hold on with an indomitable will to not give up, and its body had already reached its limit.

"Shall we continue, Hakron?"

Since it's not a very important competition, Xia Chi would consult the Pokémon's opinion at times like this.

Hakron's response was weak but firm, which was not unexpected.

"Fuyi."

Its voice was broken and intermittent due to exhaustion and panting.

Xia Chi, I want to hold on a little longer!

Nevertheless, his tone conveyed more of the excitement of defeating a strong opponent in his first official match.

Xia Chi nodded, without refusing.

Since we yearn to savor the joy of victory, we must also learn to face possible defeat.

On the other side, Boss Kiku had already recalled the Desert Dragonfly, which had lost its ability to fight.

His expression returned to its usual composure, and he threw the second Poké Ball without hesitation.

A bright white light flashed, and the newly appeared Pokémon instantly materialized—it was none other than Excadrill!

Another earth dragon!
Xia Chi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This is obviously a joke; the real attribute of the Dragon Head Groundhog is that it's made of ground and steel.

It's just that its name contains the word "dragon" and it's incredibly powerful, so many Pokémon fans jokingly call it "Rat-headed Earth Dragon".

It has the [Sand Rush] ability that doubles its speed in sandstorm weather, as well as excellent attack power and durability.

This guy's presence in the Sandstorm team even overshadows several other real earth dragons.

Excadrill is one of the two most iconic Pokémon of Master Kiku, and its strength should not be underestimated!
------

As soon as he stepped onto the field, Ju Laoda, who had already adjusted his mindset, issued instructions without any hesitation.

"Dragon head mole, sandstorm!"

This is the downside of not having a weather operator in the team; the main character has to manually activate the weather.

Fortunately, there is no limit of four moves in real combat, so it only results in a slight loss of time and rhythm.

Otherwise, with the limited skill slots available for Dragon Head Gopher, even activating Sandstorm would be a problem.

Almost simultaneously, Xia Chi issued the command: "Hakron, Frozen Wind!"

He was well aware that Dragonair's Special Attack had been significantly reduced after that meteor shower, and that Ice-type moves were not effective against Excadrill.

This freezing wind is purely for the purpose of slowing down enemies, and incidentally, to extend the tailwind for five seconds.

Once it can be launched, the strategic objective has been achieved.

Before the sandstorm started, the sand-pulling was ineffective, and Hakron maintained its speed lead with the tailwind.

A biting, azure-blue icy wind blew out first, accurately hitting the dragon-headed exploding mouse that had just landed!

And just as the cold wind touched his body.

A fierce wind blew, and sand and stones flew everywhere!
Countless fine grains of sand were swept into the air by an invisible force, instantly enveloping the entire area in a dim yellow dust curtain!

Sandstorm weather has begun!
"Dragon-headed groundhog, dig a hole!"

"Hakuron, Frozen Wind!"

Xia Chi and Ju Laoda issued their orders at almost the same time.

This time, however, it was the dragon-headed groundhog that made the first move!

Once a sandstorm begins, the [Sand-Sweeping] property takes effect.

The speed of the dragon-headed mole instantly increased to a terrifying level!

But then it darted about and, before the second gust of biting wind could blow again, it swiftly dug a hole in the rocky ground.

Then, without concealing its intention to attack, it swiftly slithered along a straight tunnel toward the weakened Hakron in mid-air!

The dragon-headed gopher can move even faster underground than on the surface.

A noticeable wave of earth surged rapidly across the ground, and almost instantly it reached directly beneath Hakron!

Then, the dragon-headed ground squirrel burst out of the ground with a roar!

"Hakuron, fly!"

Xia Chi's command had barely ended when the Dragonite, before it could even react, launched its second Dig attack.

boom--

The steel drill bit, imbued with ground-based energy, struck Hakron's soft abdomen squarely.

The terrifying attack force unsurprisingly finished off Hakuryu without any doubt!
Xia Chi was not surprised at all by this result.

Raise the Poké Ball in your hand and recall the Dragonair, which has lost its ability to battle.

Without hesitation, he raised his arm and threw another Poké Ball into the arena!

Time is running out for [following the wind], every second is precious!

A blinding white light flashed amidst the sandstorm; Xia Chi had dispatched his second spirit—

The martial arts master, Bear Master, has made a grand entrance!
[The bear apprentice has finally evolved! Congratulations!]

[Damn it, the sandstorm is too strong, I can't even see what evolutionary form the Martial Arts Ursa is. Couldn't that useless Rotom fly a little closer?]

[Judging by the shape of its fur, it's an Iron Strike build. That's perfect for having three Dark-type Pokémon to participate in next month's Dark-type Specialist Tournament.]

[Holy crap, that makes so much sense! No wonder they said Prison Water suddenly came to United.]

[This is truly a god-like figure appearing! Hopefully, he can replicate Maastricht's legendary reign!]

Although the evolution has been going on for almost half a month, this is the first time that Master Bear has appeared in public.

Unsurprisingly, this sparked a heated discussion among all the viewers.

Ju Laoda didn't seem surprised by this. He already knew that Xia Chi's bear apprentice had completed his evolution during dinner last night.

He knew even more clearly that the martial arts bear master in front of him was a "one-strike style" specializing in the ultimate single strike, with the evil attribute.

In a flash, he issued the command without hesitation: "Dragon Head Groundhog, Sword Dance!"

As is well known, Xia Chi, this martial arts bear master, has a distinctive combat characteristic: the less life force he has, the stronger his life-draining ability becomes.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your work; rather than launching a rash attack, strengthening your offensive capabilities is undoubtedly the best option in this situation.

Almost simultaneously with his command, Xia Chi's calm voice rang out: "Martial Arts Bear Master, Sword Dance!"

It's also a sword dance!
For Xia Chi, even if Dragon Head Mole chose to launch a preemptive attack at this moment, he would still make the same choice.

The reason coincides with what Boss Ju was thinking—

Since the lower the health, the stronger the combat power, why should we care too much about the gains and losses of the first half of the health bar?

If it's during the Bear Apprentice period, there might be a risk of being caught off guard by the opponent during a gap in their buffing ability, leading to a sudden death.

However, after its evolution, the overall strength of the Martial Arts Bear Master has undergone a qualitative leap, and its margin for error has been greatly improved, which is enough to support it in such a powerful game.

------

On the field, the remaining [Tailwind] provided Martial Arts Bear Master with an amazing speed boost.

With a swaying motion, he completed a battle dance full of strange power at an extremely fast speed!
The moment the exhilarating dance came to an abrupt end, a dazzling golden light, symbolizing a significant increase in physical attack power, surged forth from its body!

However, the Dragon Head Grub, slowed down by the freezing wind, is slightly slower in terms of strengthening speed.

In that fleeting moment, Xia Chi instantly issued the order: "Martial Arts Bear Master, launch a surprise attack!"

Almost at the same moment, Boss Ju's roar echoed throughout the field: "Dragon Head Groundhog, Crack the Tile!"

Prediction successful!

While the [Surprise Attack] Dark attribute move is far more powerful than ordinary priority moves, it has strict activation conditions—

It can only be successfully executed when the opponent uses an attack move simultaneously.

Xia Chi was certain that Boss Ju would not be greedy for a second sword dance and would definitely choose to launch a preemptive attack, which is why he decisively used this move!
Facts have proved that he was right!
"Whoa!"

A deep and intimidating war cry rang out.

With the remaining boost from [Following the Wind], Martial Arts Master Bear's figure unleashed an almost ghostly speed!

Without even leaving a trace, its tall and majestic figure had already rushed in front of the dragon-headed ground squirrel!
Profound evil energy suddenly condensed at the fist of the Martial Arts Bear Master, like a boiling shadow.

Taking advantage of the height difference between the two Pokémon, and carrying terrifying gravitational potential energy, it crashed down like Mount Tai!

boom--

With a heavy thud, [Ambush] struck the Dragon Head Mole squarely.

The powerful impact caused its body to shudder violently, clearly resulting in significant damage.

"Click!"

The dragon-headed ground squirrel groaned in pain, but its body did not flinch.

Intense Fighting-type energy erupted from the steel claws, and it immediately launched a fierce [Brick Break] attack at the nearby Martial Arts Ursa!
Split tiles!

However, just a moment before the claws, imbued with the power of combat, were about to strike the martial arts bear master.

Xia Chi shouted decisively, "Continuous Strike Flow, continuous water strikes!"

The moment the command was given, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, clear, flowing, water-like energy shimmered across the surface of Martial Arts Master Xiong's body.

The fierce, malevolent aura belonging to the "One-Strike Style" receded like a tide, replaced by a surge of surging and continuous water energy!

The transformation was completed in one smooth motion!
The martial arts master, Xiong Shi, miraculously transformed from a single-strike style with the evil attribute to a combo style with the water attribute!
At the same time, Martial Arts Master Xiong's fists were completely enveloped by the clear blue water energy, and his peak punch speed instantly created countless dazzling afterimages!
Immediately, the fluid and continuous attacks erupted like a raging tsunami!
boom!
The first strike, a heavy and swift water punch, accurately hit the Dragon Head Mole's vital chest and abdomen.

The dragon-headed groundhog let out a painful groan, staggering backward as the [Tile Splitting] force it had gathered was abruptly severed!
bang——

An even more dull and terrifying second blow followed.

The force of the violent water flow slammed half of the very stable Excadrill's body into the hard rocky ground like a nail!
In an instant, pebbles flew everywhere!

then.

boom--

The earth-shattering third strike, carrying the final destructive power, erupted completely like a flood bursting its banks!

The dragon-headed ground squirrel didn't even have time to utter a mournful cry before its entire body was blasted into the ground, leaving only a deep crater.

His aura instantly became as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, almost imperceptible!
With just one stream of water, the incredibly durable and nearly intact Excadrill was reduced to almost no ability to fight!

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Even the normally frantically scrolling live stream comments seemed to freeze in shock at this incredible scene.

After a brief pause, there was a complete explosion, like a volcanic eruption!
【Wait, what the hell is this damage?! ???】

[Dragon-headed Root Mouse: Viewers, do you think I can survive the next attack?]

[Left punch deals high damage, right punch deals high damage! What a martial arts master! (Leans back tactically)]

Wait, the key question shouldn't be: how did a one-hit-strike martial arts bear master manage to use "Water Flow Combo"?

[Holy crap, it really is! What form of martial arts bear master is this? An all-around form?]

[Um, is it possible that this one was originally a combo-based attacker, but we just couldn't see it clearly because the sandstorm was too strong?]

[How could that be? Combo-style martial arts bear masters don't even know the "Surprise Attack" skill! Master Ma clearly explained in his mini-lesson that "Water Jet" is the standard preemptive strike for combo-style attacks!]

[I don't know about that. Surely Xia Chi, this martial arts bear master, can switch freely between "combo style" and "single-strike style," right?]

[What do you mean? Your Urshifu's ability is also Shapeshifting? Is that even scientifically possible?!] [Never mind the science, Pokémon battles are inherently unscientific, but this damage is just too outrageous! Is Excadrill's physical defense made of paper?!]

------

The dragon-headed gopher's physical defenses are by no means flimsy.

On the contrary, as a Steel-type Pokémon, its physical durability is enough to give most attackers a headache.

There is only one reason why it appears so vulnerable at this moment.

The Martial Arts Bear Master's armor-piercing ability is terrifying!

The [Fighting Attribute] synergy inherently grants an armor-piercing effect with each melee attack.

The equipment [Last Whisper] has the terrifying characteristic of reducing the opponent's defense by 50% after hitting a vital point!
The Martial Arts Bear Master's signature move, [Water Flow Combo], attacks three times in succession, each time hitting a vital point.
The additional effects of these two bonds and moves were perfectly utilized!

It's fair to say that after the second hit of the water jets, the Dragon Head Mole's armor was practically indistinguishable from tin foil.

Furthermore, given that the Dragon Head Ground Rat is inherently weak in water, it's only natural that the damage caused by this water flow is so terrifying.

However, only Xia Chi knew the secret behind it.

For Ju Laoda on the sidelines, the shock he felt at this moment was no less than that of the dumbfounded spectators in the stands.

He knew his own strength as a dragon-headed mole better than anyone else.

A sudden attack combined with a series of water-based strikes brought him to the brink of death.
Even with the 100% physical attack bonus provided by [Sword Dance], this is simply unimaginable!
Unless he's a trainer of Ardek's caliber.

This kid is way too strong, isn't he?

Ju Laoda was inwardly turbulent, but his years of fighting instincts kept him talking without pausing.

"Dragon-headed groundhog, dig a hole!"

Now that he had been smashed into the ground, he commanded the dragon-headed gopher to launch an attack from underground in an attempt to avoid the fatal blow to come.

Xia Chi pressed his advantage without hesitation.

"One strike, earthquake!"

[Earthquake] can accurately strike Pokémon hiding underground, making it the optimal solution against [Dig].

With a low roar, Martial Arts Master Xiong raised his massive right fist high, and a surge of powerful ground-based dual energy converged wildly. He then bent down and slammed the earth with unstoppable momentum!

boom--

[Martial Arts Double Strike] The 300% damage bonus to the right fist caused this earthquake to unleash terrifying power far exceeding the norm!
The earthen-yellow destructive energy shockwave, like a terrifying tsunami, poured into the ground in a ring shape centered on the punching point!
The entire site trembled violently, rocks cracked, and it seemed as if it would collapse at any moment!

However, Xia Chi frowned slightly.

Because the moment he gave the command, the remaining [Tailwind] effect on the field completely dissipated.
The reduced attack speed gave Excadrill a precious chance to catch its breath.

Just before the devastating earthquake energy was about to completely engulf it, it miraculously broke through the soil from the other side thanks to its tenacious will and the speed boost from [sand-pulling]!

"Click!"

The dragon-headed ground squirrel leaped high into the air, wrapping its drill-like sharp steel claws with all the remaining ground-type energy in its body, and stabbed fiercely down at the vital chest and abdomen of the Martial Arts Bear Master!

With the support of the sword dance, this desperate counterattack [Digging] dealt considerable damage, causing Martial Arts Bear Master to shudder and take half a step back.

But this is the limit that the dragon-headed gopher can do.

The next instant, the belated and terrifying earthquake shockwave, like a leech, came and completely engulfed it!
With a mournful cry, the Dragon Head Groundhog's mangled body crashed heavily to the ground, instantly losing its ability to fight!
The entire battle lasted no more than ten seconds!

An eerie silence fell over the entire venue.

In what was nominally a gym challenge match, the gym leader's main Pokémon didn't even last ten seconds.
This result is unacceptable to too many people.

But the reality before them forced them to accept it.

Compared to the audience who only need to consider watching the game, Kiku-sama on the battlefield has many more things to consider.

He silently retrieved the Dragon Head Mole, which had lost its fighting ability, but his mind was racing, pondering a final strategy.

It's not shameful to lose to Xia Chi, but it's a bit unacceptable to only defeat one of his newly captured Hakuryu.

No matter what, we must fight to defeat this martial arts bear master!

------

The red and white light of the Poké Ball flashed alternately once again.

This 3v3 singles match has reached a crucial moment.

Boss Kiku sent out his last trump card, his ace Pokémon, Rogue Crocodile!
"Knock!"

With a furious roar, a huge, upright crocodile with dark red scales and a body as large as a small mountain made its grand entrance!
Its scarlet eyes flashed with a violent and belligerent light, and just by standing there, it exuded a suffocating sense of oppression!

The appearing sprites were as Xia Chi had expected, and he immediately commanded, "Martial Arts Bear Master, Water Jet!"

But Boss Ju shouted out a move that surprised everyone.

"Rogue Crocodile, you're just bluffing!"

This unconventional move made Xia Chi raise an eyebrow.

This is a do-or-die situation.
The effect of bluffing is simple: it confuses the opponent, but at the same time greatly increases their attack power!

Without a doubt, Boss Ju was gambling that the martial arts bear master, who was in a "chaotic state," would attack him, thereby dismantling his unparalleled offensive.

Facing the in-form and unstoppable martial arts master Xiong, this might be the only way to create a miracle.

Xia Chi truly hadn't expected that Boss Ju would use such a heretical tactic.

Therefore, they failed to anticipate and use [provocation] to counter it.

Strictly speaking, this was indeed a mistake.

Because if they were to fight head-on, the Martial Arts Bear Master would be almost invincible at this point, and all that would be needed is to block the Rogue Crocodile's variation moves.

However, it doesn’t matter anymore.

As long as you can get close to the opponent with the water jet attack, a combo can still take them down!
As soon as the command was given, Martial Arts Master Xiong was instantly enveloped by a torrent of water, transforming into a high-pressure water jet that shot out!

The priority effect of [Water Jet] makes it incredibly fast, even without the [Tailwind] buff.

In the blink of an eye, Martial Arts Bear Master had already rushed to the front of Rogue Crocodile's body!
The powerful punch, carrying the force of the water, slammed into the crocodile's tough belly with a dull thud.

Even before the armor was broken, this preemptive move, with a base power of only 40, still dealt considerable damage.

However, just the instant after the martial arts master's move hit its mark...

A strange and restless energy wave also successfully hit the martial arts master Xiong Shi, who was right next to him!

The bluff hit!

The chaotic, deep purple energy, like twisted tentacles, instantly burrowed into the consciousness of the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Its once clear and resolute eyes immediately showed a hint of struggle and disorder, and the surging energy around it also became somewhat unstable.

Xia Chi frowned slightly, but he didn't have a better solution.

He cleared his mind of distractions and calmly commanded, "Continuous attack, continuous water flow!"

At the same time, Boss Ju's roar, filled with a do-or-die determination, resounded throughout the venue: "Rogue Crocodile, use a substitution technique!"

Before he finished speaking, Boss Ju had already raised the Taijing Pearl high in his hand, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped the huge body of the Rogue Crocodile!
hum-

A strange resonance echoed throughout the venue, and countless sharp-edged, shimmering transparent crystals covered the body of the rogue crocodile.

The energy symbol that condensed on the crown after crystallization was none other than the Taijing Evil!
Xia Chi's expression darkened.

The move "Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees," a move with a very special attribute, has an extremely unique effect—

Borrowing the opponent's physical attack ability to attack in place of one's own.

Without a doubt, with the massive boost from both [Sword Dance] and [Bluff], the terrifying attack power of the Martial Arts Bear Master, which has already broken through the sky, will now be perfectly stolen by the Rogue Crocodile and used as a weapon for counterattack!

In addition, there's the double power boost from the Taijing Evil.
The destructive power that this [transplantation] technique can unleash is enough to send chills down your spine just by thinking about it!
As its name suggests, what kind of underhanded tricks does this rogue crocodile use?

It even linked to the saying.

Xia Chi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

On the battlefield, under the blessing of [Martial Arts Dual Extremes], Martial Arts Master Xiong's energy condensed extremely rapidly, and the water flow was about to be released.

However, just as the azure water energy enveloped its fists, a sudden change occurred!
Chaos status activated!
The chaotic energy of [bluffing] that had entered its body was now churning violently!
The originally smooth and flowing attack suddenly stopped, and the powerful water energy not only failed to be unleashed smoothly, but also violently clashed and backfired within its body!
Martial Arts Master Xiong let out a painful groan, as if he had been struck hard in the chest by his own full-force attack.

His physical attack ability is extremely terrifying at this moment, and the damage he inflicts on himself due to the chaotic state is naturally also increased!

And it was at this fatal moment that it briefly froze due to the chaos.

The rogue crocodile that had completed its crystallization roared deafeningly!

"Knock!"

The crystal covering its body emitted a deep, eerie light, and a strange power instantly locked onto the Martial Arts Bear Master, forcibly drawing away its terrifying attack power like water being pumped out.

It merged with its own vast evil energy, instantly transforming into a dark energy torrent exuding an ominous suction force and a destructive aura, which slammed towards the unsteady Martial Arts Bear Master!

Transplantation - Extreme Evil - Ultimate Enhancement!

boom--

The powerful dark torrent completely engulfed the Martial Arts Bear Master, its destructive energy frantically eroding its body and erupting with a tearing sound that made your teeth ache!

"Whoa!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong let out a miserable cry as his robust body was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, and he was thrown backward uncontrollably!

It crashed heavily into the energy shield at the edge of the arena with a deafening thud before finally sliding to the ground.

However, its tenacious will enabled it to struggle and shakily stand up again.

Despite his heavy, labored breathing, his eyes still burned with an indomitable flame!
Old Master Ju frowned deeply. How could they withstand this?

Just how terrifying is the endurance of this martial arts bear master!

------

Boss Ju didn't know that the reason why Martial Arts Bear Master was able to withstand this earth-shattering blow was only because of his high durability.

Another important reason is that the premise for Martial Arts Bear Master to deal high damage in the past was that the [Water Flow Combo] triple attack weakened the physical defense of Dragon Head Groundhog to an almost non-existent level.

Faced with such extreme armor penetration, even a high amount of health is meaningless.

The Rogue Crocodile clearly does not possess the overpowered armor-piercing ability of the Martial Arts Bear Master.

Lacking the most crucial link, this substitution only leaves it in a state of utter despair.

Having failed to strike once, a sharp glint flashed in Xia Chi's eyes, and without hesitation, he issued another command: "Spray water and charge forward!"

I refuse to believe that with a one-third chance of triggering chaos, I could possibly run into it again.

Boss Ju was equally adamant, his voice booming: "Continue, the substitution!"

call out--

The Martial Arts Bear Master unleashed another surge of energy, its body instantly transforming into a high-pressure water jet. Taking advantage of the [Water Jet]'s preemptive effect, it charged forward with a speed faster than the Rogue Crocodile's reaction!

The heavy punch, enveloped in water, slammed into the belly of the rogue crocodile covering Tai Jing again, causing a burst of water!
This attack dealt considerable damage, and more importantly, it triggered the Martial Arts Bear Master [Fighting Attribute] synergy and the life steal effect of [Hand of Justice]!
In his weakened state, the combined life-stealing ability of the two already exceeds 100%!

The pure life energy flowed back through his fist, greatly restoring the critically low health of the Martial Arts Bear Master!

Despite the excruciating pain, the rogue crocodile swung its giant claw, now covered in crystal, out once more!

Another attack, borrowing the terrifying power of the Martial Arts Bear Master, struck the Martial Arts Bear Master solidly at close range!

Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body!
"Whoa!"

Martial Arts Master Xiong let out another painful groan, his body trembling violently. His life force, which had just recovered most of its strength, instantly plummeted back to rock bottom, making him even more dangerous than before!

But it was as if it had unlocked its power; its body swayed back and forth, but its eyes, burning with fighting spirit, were fixed on its opponent, and it stubbornly stood firm once again!
Xia Chi made a mental calculation.

The damage is about enough.
Without further hesitation, he issued the final, decisive command: "Survive the desperate situation!"

Boss Ju's eyes narrowed. He had also seen that fleeting opportunity and shouted, "Take it, and we'll pay you back double!"

Old Master Ju was absolutely certain.

As long as the rogue crocodile can survive this desperate situation, no matter how much strength the martial arts bear master recovers...

They will all be completely buried by this [Double Return], which is twice the power of its own full-force attack!
"Whoa!"

The Martial Arts Bear Master let out a deafening roar; the extreme danger only served to unleash its hidden potential and fighting spirit!
All remaining strength and will ignited like boiling water, pouring into this final strike!
A narrow escape – the lower your stamina, the stronger it becomes!

At this moment, Martial Arts Master Xiong's physical strength was close to zero!
The ground beneath its feet cracked inch by inch, unable to withstand the sudden burst of extreme power.

A dazzling white light, mixed with immense fighting energy, surged out of its body like a supernova explosion. The intensity of the light even temporarily overshadowed the lights inside the Fanba Dojo!

There are no fancy techniques, no attribute switching, only the purest and most primitive, an explosion of all power!

Martial Arts Master Xiong's right fist transformed into a white-hot flash that tore everything apart, and he slammed it down on the rogue crocodile in front of him, who had his arms crossed in front of him and was fully prepared to "repay double"!

The next moment, a burst of light erupted!

boom--

An unprecedentedly terrifying roar drowned out all other sounds!
The white-hot light and dark red energy intertwined and twisted together, creating a shockwave that even made the entire stadium tremble.

The energy shield emitted a piercing wail of despair, its surface instantly cracking open!

It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment.

The light slowly dissipated.

The scene gradually became clear.

The rogue crocodile remained frozen in place, its claws still blocking, its energy gathered in the starting stance of [Double Back], as if it had been frozen in place.

Its crystalline luster quickly faded, and it returned to its original form.

Immediately, its body fell heavily forward to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then it fell silent.
