The collision between ice and fire energy produced a dense fog, concealing the figures of the two battling pets on the Battle Platform.
“Ahem ahem.”
David Jones tried to cover his nose with his hand, but the overwhelming smell from the dispersing fog still made him cough a few times.
Unable to see the situation inside the thick fog, David had to rely on his pet Contract for sensing.
Rainbow’s condition was still pretty good, it seemed ready to keep fighting.
Fred Gus’ face freezes, not expecting the Coldjade Snake’s Cold Breath to be so powerful that it could evenly match his own pet.
Fred hurriedly used the Beast Taming Contract to check on the Flame Salamander, but he couldn’t feel a response from the other end of the contract.
Fred started to panic, his face turning pale, and he slumped weakly onto the ground.
As he recalled his previous bravado, his mood only grew heavier.
Having spent a year cultivating the Flame Salamander’s strength, only to be defeated by a student who had only just contracted his pet for a few days.
As the fog dissipated, the first thing David saw was the exuberant Rainbow, then the frost covering the entire Duel Platform and the large chunks of debris on the frost.
There, lying in the ice, was an unconscious Flame Salamander.
David’s mouth gradually curved upwards, not expecting the pleasant surprise from Rainbow to be so huge, defeating an opponent of the same level with just one Cold Breath.
“Winner: David Jones.”
Seeing the outcome of the battle, referee Oscar Summers didn’t hesitate to announce the result.
As a qualified referee, he would accurately announce the outcome of any situation on the platform as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but cast a strange glance at the disheartened Fred Gus, thinking, “So, this is the ‘defeat in just a few rounds’ that you kept boasting about?”
“I even reminded him to take it seriously before the fight, but he didn’t believe me. Now he’s been defeated in a single hit. I guess it’s going to be difficult for him to continue this sparring job!”
Oscar then shook his head, feeling helpless.
At this point, the excited David had snapped back to reality.
He glanced at the time and hesitated to ask Referee Oscar, “I’ve booked a one-hour sparring package, but it’s only been less than three minutes and the sparring partner’s pet is down. How will this be counted?”
Not far away, the already pale-faced Fred Gus shuddered uncontrollably upon hearing this, as if struck by lightning.
“Sorry, please wait a moment; this is our mistake.”
It was the first time in Oscar’s professional career that he had encountered such a situation, so he immediately pressed the button in his hand, allowing nearby Medical Practitioners to rush forward and treat the defeated pet.
Afterward, he reported the situation at the Duel Platform No. 13 to someone using a walkie-talkie in front of David.
A moment later.
Oscar received a response from the other side of the walkie-talkie, and he said with a smile, “Hello, the situation is like this: your sparring time will still be maintained at one hour, but your opponent will change to the sparring partner at Duel Platform N0.2. Is that alright?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
David was very satisfied with this solution.
If a one-hour wait, one-minute battle, would end the sparring just like that, then he definitely wouldn’t accept it.
In a good mood, David followed Referee Oscar to Duel Platform N0.2.
“Is this the genius Trainer you were talking about?” a straightforward and husky female voice entered David’s ears.
The attention-grabbing David turned towards the direction of the voice.
It was a sexy girl. Her fine, black hair draped over her shoulders, and her slightly wheat-colored skin was covered by a blue camisole top.
However, the small top could barely hold back her ample chest, making her waist seem even more slender.
Avery Nelly was playing with a transparent glass in her hand, her eyes examining David with slight curiosity.
“Yes, I’ll leave this customer to you.”
“This is Avery Nelly, your sparring partner. I have to deal with something on my side, so I’ll go ahead.” Oscar cast casual words at David and then immediately turned to leave.
Avery didn’t pay attention to Oscar’s departure, her curious gaze still fixed on David: “Do you want to start with the battle training or other ability training?”
David, puzzled, asked, “What do you mean by other ability training?”
“My Thunder Mink pet has a skill that can improve the training efficiency of other pets. For example, speed, accuracy, resistance to attacks, and other forms of training,” Avery explained calmly.
“And besides, this skill can improve efficiency by at most 10%. It’s not very effective.”
To prevent David from choosing ability training, she added.
“Let’s focus on pet battles!”
After considering it in his heart, David decided that what Rainbow currently lacked the most was combat experience; other abilities could be trained slowly by himself.
“As you wish.” A knowing smile appeared on Avery’s cheeks.
She had chosen to become a professional battle sparring partner to pursue more stimulating battles and to experience the truest form of pet fighting.
Avery could hardly contain her excitement for pet battles in her heart.
Now, she just hoped that the David standing in front of her was as strong as Oscar had claimed!
Referee: “The battle begins.”
Avery immediately ordered, “Minky, use Thunder Flash.”
The moment the blue Rune Circle dissipated, a golden flash dashed from in front of Avery.
It was a Thunder Mink, about the size of a domestic cat, with a slender yellow body and white fur on its face, its eyes covered with a Zorro-like small eyepatch.
At this moment, it was wrapped in a dazzling electric light, and its claws shot towards Rainbow with lightning speed.
Seeing that Rainbow couldn’t dodge in time, David hurriedly commanded through his thoughts, “Ice Armor.”
“Cazz.”
This was the sound of Ice Armor shattering.
Rainbow, who was continuously retreating due to the impact, tensed its muscles, powered up its tail, and forcefully stopped its body.
“Electric Shock.” Avery promptly ordered a pursuit.
As the Thunder Mink approached Rainbow at high speed, its body was immediately covered with dazzling electric currents, which then gathered into a massive electric shock that fired out.
David’s pupils suddenly narrowed, “Use Confusion to dodge!”
If Rainbow was hit by this attack, it might lose its combat power in an instant.
The electric shock that cut through the sky slammed into the ground in an instant, creating a large cloud of dust and smoke.
“Confusion Counter.”
Feeling through the contract that Rainbow had narrowly dodged the attack, David seized the opportunity and ordered.
A powerful force of Confusion instantly enveloped the panting Thunder Mink, and after a brief stalemate, the still-trapped Thunder Mink was moved by Rainbow’s Confusion to mid-air before being violently smashed down at high speed..
