“Go ahead, use Bite!”
“???”
The Mystic Turtle slowly stuck its head out and looked at its trainer, the hesitation in its eyes seeming to be full of resistance.
“Go on!”
Trainer Michael Whiteville repeated the command again, and as if suddenly realizing something, his face tightened and sweat began to pour from his temples.
How embarrassing!
Michael didn’t expect his Mystic Turtle to immediately lose courage after being summoned. Watching the awe-inspiring Coldjade Snake in the distance, it had no desire to fight at all.
No matter how he tried to communicate with the Mystic Turtle afterward, it had no intention of following orders.
The Mystic Turtle had its own plan and stubbornly wanted to stay inside its shell without moving!
Hey hey hey, he came to the stage for a pet battle, not to make a fool of himself.
Thinking of this, Michael hurriedly tried to force control of the Mystic Turtle’s body through the Beast Taming Contract, rushing swiftly toward the Coldjade Snake.
He could accept defeat, but he could not accept a surrender without fighting.
Seeing the distant Mystic Turtle’s slightly stiff movement, David Jones’ brow furrowed slightly. He felt that there was something wrong with his opponent this time.
Oh well, since the battle had already begun.
Finish it quickly!
“Rainbow, use Confusion to push it away.”
David didn’t even want to use an attack skill this time.
He had somewhat figured out that the Mystic Turtle was frantically resisting fighting, and its heart was filled with sheer panic.
Such a one-sided battle was truly disheartening, even disappointing.
Rainbow’s eyes suddenly glowed with light blue, and the oncoming Mystic Turtle was immediately sent flying out of the duel platform at an even faster speed.
With several thumping sounds, the Mystic Turtle’s body kept rolling out of bounds.
The referee instantly blew the whistle: “The result is clear!”
“What an absolutely fantastic match! A simple and brutal show of strength, and after just one round, the Coldjade Snake has won another victory!”
The host announced loudly, sparking another burst of cheers from the audience.
“Coldjade Snake, my favorite!”
“Go, Snake, you’re the strongest!”
“Ten wins in a row!”
David twitched at the sound, not sure about this host’s ability, but definitely liking to boast. Even among the enthusiastic audience, he suspected that those who were shouting the loudest were being paid by the officials.
David stopped daydreaming and, walking over to the referee, asked quietly: “I don’t need a break. Can I go straight to the next match?”
He didn’t want to waste time like this anymore, such battles didn’t even require resting.
The referee glanced at him surprisingly, “Of course, we respect your choice.”
He didn’t expect the trainer before him to be so bold! It reminded him of his younger self.
Standing on the stage, David was waiting patiently for the referee’s instructions.
He had already defeated eight opponents in a row. However, except for Oswald Maud, the other opponents were quite difficult to describe – they were mostly not too powerful intermediate-grade pets.
Up until now, there wasn’t even a single scratch on Rainbow. Her bright, expressive eyes were still sparkling.
It wasn’t as challenging as David had expected.
Not far away, the slightly chubby young man named Henry Davis was his ninth Trainer opponent.
The referee’s right hand pressed down hard, “Battle starts.”
The opposing Trainer, Henry Davis, summoned his pet at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, a tree covered with green vines and standing three meters tall appeared on the duel platform.
Looking closely through the dense leaves, a terrifying human-like face could be seen growing on the main body of the tree.
“A rare plant-based pet?”
David Jones made a sound of surprise and used his Identify skill. He had only seen this kind of rare creature in books and had never encountered it in real life.
“Pet Name”: Vine Dryad
“Pet Type”: Wood
“Species Level”: Superior
“Grade”: Fresh Level VIII
“Species Skill”: Root, Vine Whip, Hard Skin, Rapid Growth
“Pet Potential”: B-Tier Blue
“Root and then use Rapid Growth.” ordered Henry Davis right away.
The Vine Dryad manipulated many root tendrils to quickly take root in the frost-covered surface of the duel platform. Then, a faint green light flashed across its body, visibly increasing its wood-based power and state.
Rapid Growth is a wood-type enhancing recovery skill, making the plant-based healing abilities that it’s already good at even more prominent and greatly increasing its speed of healing injuries.
After observing, David Jones commanded telepathically, “Cannon mode, use
Cold Breath skill, and be careful not to get close to it.”
He was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of plant-based pet.
The Vine Dryad had outstanding strength, defense, and recovery abilities, especially in close-range combat. Its frenzied vine whip made it difficult for enemies to escape its binding grasp.
However, its only weakness was its slow speed, and it was particularly afraid of fire skills.
As long as they kept their distance, during the Fresh stage, this pet was like a living target.
However, during its Mature stage, few high-level Trainers dared to challenge this type of plant-based pet in a forest filled with greenery.
Now, Rainbow was getting more proficient at controlling the Cold Breath.
In a short span of one second, two cold blue beams of extreme cold burst from Rainbow’s mouth, accurately hitting the rooted Vine Dryad.
Boom after boom, an icy windstorm was set off on the battleground.
The violent explosion of Cold Breath caused countless wounds to the Vine Dryad’s body.
Green fluids had hardly flowed from the wounds before they were frozen by the chilly frost, only to then be shattered again, creating even larger wounds.
“Ugh…” The Vine Dryad let out a painful roar.
Its dense leaves were already sparse, and several branches had broken off and disappeared. The most critical issue was that the bone-chilling cold made its recovery extremely difficult.
The massive damage left the Vine Dryad unable to move, and even the vines hidden underground nearby the Coldjade Snake couldn’t initiate an attack.
Through the beast taming contract, the injury of Henry Davis’ pet flooded his mind, disbelief written all over his chubby face.
Was his sturdy Vine Dryad so easily killed?
Referee, someone is cheating! Is the enemy’s pet actually in the Fresh stage?
Under the same level situation, even if it faced the most powerful fire-type skills, his Dryad could still withstand four or five attacks after using both Root and Rapid Growth.
But now, just these two Cold Breaths taken almost half of his pet’s life.
“I admit defeat! Can you please save my pet now?”
Before the referee could react, Henry Davis shouted out anxiously..
