My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 50 Fight, Fireworks! (Waaaaah~! Please keep reading!)

It's ruined! My entire plan is ruined!

Song Shao was now filled with anger.

From the moment Zhou Lu challenged him under the pretext of stopping his school bullying, he had already lost, regardless of the outcome of the beast-taming duel.

This principle is absolutely correct.

And he himself is not clean either.

Even if I beat Zhou Lu today, it won't make a difference.

Since that's the case, then I'll destroy you!

Song Shao's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

He doesn't dare to kill anyone yet.

However, they still have the guts to use the guise of a duel to utterly destroy the opponent's spirit pet!

At worst, I can just have my dad pay some compensation later.

"Be careful, Zhou Lu." Although Xu Wuhu supported Zhou Lu's actions, Zhou Lu was at a disadvantage in this challenge. "His Purple Lightning Demon Lion is not easy to deal with."

"It's too late!" As he spoke, Song Shao released his spirit pet.

A first-tier electric-type spirit beast, the Purple Lightning Demon Lion.

When the majestic and imposing lion made its appearance, everyone present gasped in awe.

"Is this the legendary rare spirit beast, the Purple Lightning Demon Lion?" An Xin, who was temporarily acting as the referee, stood outside the arena, looking at the tall lion in the arena, and muttered to himself.

The Song family, to which Song Shao belongs, is not just a simple technology company. They have a complete grasp of the evolution path from the first-order Purple Lightning Demon Lion to the fifth-order Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lion, making them a rare divine beast family in the world.

Of course, the Song family, this "divine beast family", is in a state of semi-crippled state, because although the evolutionary path is clear, the key evolutionary material for the Heavenly Tribulation Divine Lion, the Heavenly Dao Shakyamuni Fruit, has not appeared for hundreds of years.

Not to mention the Heavenly Dao Shaka Tree, even its second-tier Thunder Pattern Shaka Tree has not been sighted for more than ten years. Only a few fruits have appeared, and they were all found by chance.

A true "family of mythical beasts" either has existing mythical beasts or the materials for their evolution have not been extinct and can be obtained normally.

Compared to these, the Song family is still somewhat weaker.

Even so, those who possess a complete evolutionary path are still unattainable in the eyes of ordinary beast tamers.

"You might still have time to surrender now," Song Shao laughed heartily, stroking his lion with smug satisfaction. "Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy when your little grass gets torn to shreds by the demonic lion!"

Zhou Lu always treated these people's words as nonsense.

He took the firework off his head and placed it on the ground.

As soon as the firework landed, it proudly raised its shell.

It wants to prove itself to the plant spirit beast through today's battle!

Revive the glory of plant-based mythical creatures today!

"Is everything alright, Hanabi?"

Fireworks immediately adopted a fighting spirit, and even gave Zhou Lu a thumbs-up gesture with her vines.

Zhou Lu was amused by Huahuo's behavior and patted her shell: "Then go! Let them see the results of your training these past few days."

Fireworks proudly raises its head: I'm in!

Fireworks sprouted vines and entered the drawn circle of the beast-taming duel.

An Xin, acting as the referee, began to explain the rules of the beast-taming duel.

The outcome of a beast-taming duel is determined by whether one side surrenders, leaves the circle, or loses consciousness.

This was Zhou Lu's first time participating in such a duel.

It's a real shame that the beast tamers can't fight each other in this beast-taming duel. It's precisely because of this rule that Zhou Lu is very curious about how Xu Wuhu conducts this kind of duel; he guesses that the Silver Armored Rat also has a form that can fight independently.

Inside the duel arena, the stark contrast between the miniature Fireworks in its "Miniature Kingdom" form and the towering Purple Lightning Lion makes the students of Xin'an Beast Taming Academy worry about Zhou Lu.

Although some of them felt that Zhou Lu's criticism of Song Shao was a bit of a meddlesome thing, students from the same academy would still stand together against a common enemy when they were out together.

"Go for it, kid!" Some people in the crowd had already started cheering for Zhou Lu.

"I'll make you regret your decision today," Song Shao sneered at Zhou Lu.

"The duel begins!" An Xin gave the order, announcing the official start of the beast-taming duel.

"Magic Lion! Use Blitzkrieg!"

Song Shao showed no mercy and immediately began to unleash the Purple Lightning Lion's strongest advantage.

A flash of purple light appeared, and in an instant, the Purple Lightning Lion appeared in front of Huahuo, opening its blood-red maw, intending to swallow Huahuo on the ground whole.

Fireworks reacted quickly, with countless vines rising from the ground. However, at that very moment, Song Shao issued his second order:

"Magic Lion! Use electric shock!"

Purple-red lightning suddenly burst forth from the body of the Purple Lightning Lion.

Grass-type spirit beasts have some damage reduction from this kind of electric shock, but they will still suffer the paralysis effect that comes with it.

Fireworks' vines were paralyzed by the electric shock and briefly suspended in mid-air. Taking advantage of this moment, the Purple Lightning Lion's sharp teeth had already bitten into Fireworks' body.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Song Shao's ability to become the captain of the school team in the second year was definitely not solely due to his family background.

Won!

Seeing this, Song Shao smiled.

I thought you were so amazing.

That's true. It's just a plant-based spirit beast...

However, the next second, the Purple Lightning Lion let out a mournful howl.

Its teeth firmly gripped the white jade snail shell of the firework.

It truly deserves its reputation as one of the most cost-effective and durable natural materials.

Without any skill enhancements, the Purple Lightning Lion couldn't break through Firework's defenses at all.

In that instant, Zhou Lu ordered Hua Huo to release the Lilliputian Kingdom. The suddenly enlarged shell challenged the Demon Lion's jaws to open wide, causing it to instinctively open its mouth.

Just as the demon lion was momentarily stunned by the pain, Fireworks' vines recovered from their paralysis and wrapped around the demon lion, who was still in a daze due to the pain.

Seeing the situation was dire, Song Shao decisively ordered his spirit pet to unleash its ultimate move: "Demon Lion! Use Thunderfire!"

The Purple Lightning Lion decisively used its skill.

With each leaping bolt of lightning, the vines enveloping the demonic lion gradually turned charred and brittle. As the vines snapped, the purple lightning demonic lion used its speed to leap free from the entanglements of the remaining vines and landed in a safe position.

It growled softly at the fireworks.

Based on their recent contact, the Purple Lightning Lion had already sensed the threat posed by Fireworks.

"It seems you do have some skill," Song Shao said coldly. "Unfortunately, that's not enough!"

"Oh? Is that really so?" Zhou Lu's voice was calm but tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

"What?!" Song Shao was slightly taken aback, and then he saw countless green sprouts emerge from the body of the Purple Lightning Demon Lion.

Grass sprouted instantly from its four claws, its mouth, eyes, ears, and nose—areas not covered by the [thunder and fire].

Vines sprout from among the grass.

These vines growing from his body were something the Purple Lightning Lion could not escape using its speed and agility.

"When?" Song Shao was shocked to see this.

Zhou Lu's lips curled up: "The rules don't say you have to shout out the move when using a skill, do they?"

Before they could finish speaking, the Purple Lightning Lion was already firmly entangled by the vines that sprouted from its body, and there was still some time before the cooldown of the [Thunderfire] skill ended.

Without hesitation, Hanabi used [Vine Entanglement] on the Purple Lightning Lion, which was wrapped in vines and unable to move.

"Fireworks! Use [Headbutt Grass Attack]!" Zhou Lu gave the final command.

[Headbutt Grass Attack]: Unique skill. Retracts a runner to deliver a headbutt attack to the target, dealing damage. If the target is immobilized, the damage of this skill is doubled.

Hanabi excitedly pulled up the runner that had followed the vine.

Fireworks politely called out to the Purple Lightning Lion:

()

As the [Wild Growth] technique was withdrawn, Hanabi, along with her shell, flew towards the bound Purple Lightning Lion.

The poor lion could only watch helplessly as the fireworks flew towards it, letting out a roar of resentment and terror.

boom!

Fireworks slammed hard into the head of the Purple Lightning Lion.

The Purple Lightning Lion was knocked unconscious.

After the impact, the fireworks soared high into the air, circled a few times, and then landed steadily on the head of the Purple Lightning Lion.

Fireworks danced and vines proclaimed their victory, even flashing a triumphant expression:
