“Shadow Chaser Lizard, Shadow Dodge!”
Almost at the same time as the Scarlet Ape vanished, Zhou Hao’s command rang in the mind of the Shadow Chaser Lizard.
“Creak-”
The Lizard’s dark pupils instantly contracted, turning the dense dark attribute energy into black mist that enveloped it.
Just as the Scarlet Ape reappeared in front of it, exerting a power as imposing as a mountain and fiercely lifting its fist to strike at it, the Shadow Chaser Lizard vanished.
“Boom!!!”
The terrifying fist powered through, heavily slamming into the battle stand and leaving a spider-web-like crack in the ground.
If the strike had hit the Shadow Chaser Lizard, it would have been seriously injured on the spot.
Two stars skills, Waning Moon Level- Fury Punch!
“Roar!!!”
With its full-force strike hitting only air, the Scarlet Ape was seething with fury. It let out a fierce roar before rapidly turning to survey all around, trying to trace its opponent.
At this moment, the examiner’s command echoed in the Scarlet Ape’s mind, “Blink Step, leap to high altitude!”
Instinctively, the Scarlet Ape exploded with powerful leg strength, once again left shallow pits in the ground as that tremendous power lifted it high into the air.
Almost at the same time that the Scarlet Ape jumped up, three pitch-black, dagger-like sharp claw marks soared up from its shadow, fiercely striking the spot where the Scarlet Ape had just been, instantly tearing apart its afterimage.
Two stars skills, Waning Moon Level- Dark Blade Claw!
The move missed, and the Shadow Chaser Lizard reappeared from the slowly vanishing shadow, a hint of regret in its eyes.
Too bad, it was a step too late.
“Roar!!!”
Only then did the Scarlet Ape belatedly realize that the Shadow Chaser Lizard had hidden in its shadow. It roared in fury, its gaze at the lizard filled with irritation.
It hated this kind of opponent who only knew how to dodge and launch surprise attacks!
The Scarlet Ape in the air landed heavily on the battle stand ten meters away, then immediately began charging towards the Shadow Chaser Lizard without using its Blink Step.
Seeing the Scarlet Ape get closer, the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s eyes showed a hint of contempt.
This charge was nowhere near as powerful as that of the Armored Rhinoceros!
The two elite level pet beasts soon clashed into a heated fight. The Scarlet Ape’s moves were wildly fierce; a casual strike was enough to crack the solid battle stand.
However, the Shadow Chaser Lizard, which had been trained to perfection in agility by two large beasts, remained composed.
With its ghost-like footwork, the Scarlet Ape’s strikes could hardly land any direct hits.
This extraordinary performance surprised not only the examiner but also Zhou Hao, who was giving the commands.
How had the Shadow Chaser Lizard become so strong?
Control of abilities was one part, but Zhou Hao, who was intimately familiar with his pet beast, could see that the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s victory over the Scarlet Ape was due more to its serious progress over the past ten days.
Seeing the Shadow Chaser Lizard gradually gaining the upper hand, Zhou Hao could feel hope burning again in his heart.
The Variegated Dragon Sparrow watching from the sidelines also showed changes in its expression, from initial contempt to surprise and disbelief.
How could this guy… be so strong?
“Scarlet Ape, go berserk!”
After repeated unsuccessful attacks, the examiner decisively signaled the Scarlet Ape to erupt its power.
“Roar!”
Frustrated by its repeated failed attacks, the Scarlet Ape’s eyes turned blood red and a blood mist enveloped it. As its body crackled with energy, the Scarlet Ape’s physique became even more robust.
Terrifying power burst out of it, making the already fierce Scarlet Ape look like a god or demon descending to the world.
Two stars skills, Waning Moon Level- Berserk!
“Boom!!!”
The Scarlet Ape, amplified by its Rage, slammed the battle stand vigorously, its ferocious power leaving web-like cracks across the surface.
However, this time it seemed like a different kind of power was transmitted through the shadow beneath.
“Crack!!!”
The Shadow Chaser Lizard, caught off guard, was directly struck by this fierce power, frantically escaping from the shadow before gasping for breath in the next instant.
The Scarlet Ape engaged in Quick Step, appearing in front of it!
The confrontation between its crazy crimson eyes and the lizard’s pitch-black ones cast a shadow over the lizard’s heart.
Another berserk punch was coming its way.
“Shadow Chaser Lizard, Dark Light!”
Zhou Hao quickly issued his command with a hint of urgency.
The black bodied Shadow Chaser Lizard instantly swallowed all surrounding light, then launched itself towards the other side of the battle stand. Like a black ribbon, it narrowly dodged the intense punch.
However, as the Shadow Chaser Lizard resurfaced, the violent Scarlet Ape once again stood before it.
Quick Step! Quick Step again!
The Shadow Chaser Lizard sensed tremendous pressure unlike ever before.
Despite moving clumsily, this ape had enough power to keep up with it. Even more terrifying was the ability to directly attack through shadows after entering a Berserk state.
The battlefield drastically shifted with the Scarlet Ape entering Rage.
The only solution was to hold on.
Both Rage and Blood Fury, after a brief burst, followed with a moment of weakness.
If it could last until then, victory became possible!
A black and red silhouette flickered continuously on the battle stand. As time passed, the Shadow Chaser Lizard started accumulating fresh wounds.
Despite its best efforts to avoid a direct hit from the Scarlet Ape, it was almost impossible to escape all collateral damage.
New injuries interfered with the lizard’s movements, leading to more wounds.
Eventually, the Shadow Chaser Lizard’s reaction slowed and it was hit directly by a punch from the enraged Scarlet Ape.
“Boom!!!”
An air ring propagated in the void. The Shadow Chaser Lizard, hit by the Scarlet Ape, flew back like a cannonball, and falling motionless after rolling for nearly ten meters.
“Shadow Chaser Lizard!”
Zhou Hao watched anxiously in the direction of the lizard, his face pale.
“Deserve compliments for impressive fighting ability,” the examiner nodded slightly, “Unfortunately, it’s still not the Scarlet Ape’s…”
“…Crack-”
A faint voice came from the edge of the arena.
Looking at the Shadow Chaser Lizard, soaked in blood and scarily scarred but still standing, the examiner was moved.
Step by step, the lizard faced the fierce Scarlet Ape; no matter how injured it was, it held its head high, its eyes still filled with fighting spirit.
Looking at his once familiar companion, Zhou Hao felt a large hammer whirling in his mind, stammering, unable to utter a word.
The Shadow Chaser Lizard… Despite such injuries, is it still fighting for me?
“Crack!”
The Shadow Chaser Lizard stood in front of the stationary Scarlet Ape, issuing a challenging sound.
“Roar!”
The Scarlet Ape growled lightly and rushed up to the lizard in an instant.
As it was about to throw a punch, its body suddenly froze. Power declining visibly and its body size shrinking.
The Rage, ended..
