The Flaming Eagle let out a cry, and the dense Fire Element rapidly converged towards it, causing its aura to begin rising.

Seeing this, Wang Lu decided not to hold back his trump card any longer, and the Angry Wind Elf also used a Secret Technique at the same time.

The Angry Wind Elf's control over its Power seemed to surpass that of the Flaming Eagle to some extent, as its aura had reached the Third Rank Commander Level, while the Flaming Eagle was only at the Late-Stage Second Rank Commander Level, still a bit away from the Peak.

Yang Mingshan's face became even more unsightly at the sight. The only chance for victory now was to use the advantage of Star Power to defeat the Angry Wind Elf.

The Flaming Eagle let out a cry, and masses of Fire Element charged directly at the Angry Wind Elf.

The Angry Wind Elf, undaunted, met them head-on with Wind Blade and Fireball.

Chu Chen couldn't help but smile faintly at the sight, confident that Wang Lu would emerge victorious in this battle.

The Angry Wind Elf released Skills faster and with more power.

If the Flaming Eagle chose to keep exhausting the Angry Wind Elf's Star Power, and then used Secret Techniques after the Star Power had mostly depleted, the outcome of this battle might reverse.

As expected by Chu Chen, the Flaming Eagle managed just a few exchanges before it was defeated.

The match ultimately concluded with Wang Lu's victory.

Wang Lu returned triumphant with a victorious smile, quite satisfied with himself, knowing that he had entered the top 400. Upon returning to Celestial Star City, he could brag. He even started planning what gift to ask for from Father Wang.

Lu Hongfei watched Wang Lu with a satisfied smile, though it didn't last long.

"Don't get too complacent, boy. If it weren't for the Red Flame Demon Tiger gaining an advantage and throwing Yang Mingshan off balance, this battle would have been impossible to win."

Wang Lu's smile vanished immediately at these words, and he said unhappily with a pained expression, "Teacher, I made it to the top 400. Can't you give me some encouragement?"

Lu Hongfei couldn't help but laugh with a snort, losing control of his expression.

Blushing slightly, he said in a deep voice, "I'm just worried about you becoming arrogant and neglecting your cultivation. If you train well, you still have a chance to get into Cyan Dragon Academy."

Wang Lu responded helplessly, "Teacher, I'm in the top 400. Is it that hard to get into Cyan Dragon Academy?"

Lu Hongfei replied in a huff, "Brat, what do you know? Don't forget that the practical exam counts for only sixty percent. If your academic grades were as good as Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan, I wouldn't be worried."

Wang Lu's face immediately fell at this, as academic grades had always been his Achilles' heel. Despite his efforts, there had been no significant improvement, so he needed to excel in the practical exam to get into Cyan Dragon Academy.

About an hour later, the first round of the tournament ended.

Soon after, Chu Chen and the others faced the second round of the tournament.

This time, Wang Lu wasn't so lucky; he drew opponent number 107.

Wang Lu was defeated without any surprise, but it didn't affect his mindset since his current achievements far exceeded his expectations.

Zhang Yuyan soon took to the stage again, this time against Lou Tong, ranked seventy-fifth from Vermilion Bird City, whose Realm had already reached the Second Rank Commander Level, making her quite formidable.

On the stage, Zhang Yuyan asked Lou Tong, "Do you want to fight with one Guardian Beast or two?"

After a brief thought, Lou Tong opted for two.

Deep down, she knew that if she used just one Guardian Beast, she would stand no chance against Zhang Yuyan.

Showing no change in expression, Zhang Yuyan raised her hand and summoned her Guardian Beast.

Seeing the Holy Light Elf, Lou Tong couldn't help but show delight. She never expected the opponent's second Guardian Beast would be a Healing Element Beast.

It's well known that Healing Element Beasts are extremely useful in large-scale battles, but in small-scale battles with equal numbers, their utility is minimal.

This was good news for Lou Tong, considering both her Guardian Beasts were combat type.

Lou Tong then summoned her own Guardian Beasts.

Her two Guardian Beasts were of Superior Quality: the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig and the Wind Shadow Leopard, both of which had reached the Second Rank Commander Level.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion showed no fear, having already reached the Fourth Rank Commander Level and possessing Perfect Level Quality.

It was apparent that her family must have mastered the complete Evolution Formula for the Wind Burst Mad Lion lineage since it had already been enhanced twice.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion let out a low roar and charged at the two beasts.

The Holy Light Elf promptly applied Holy Light Shield and Holy Light Blessing on it, then flew straight into the air, giving no chance for a sneak attack.

Zhang Yuyan, seeing this, also cast several Soul Seals, further enhancing the Wind Burst Mad Lion's strength.

While running, the Wind Burst Mad Lion also applied a layer of Wind Armor to itself.

Lou Tong dared not slack off, immediately ordering her two Guardian Beasts to use Defense Skills while also applying several Soul Skills on them.

Soon, she realized something was wrong. Zhang Yuyan needed to apply Soul Skills only to the Wind Burst Mad Lion, while she had to do so for both her Guardian Beasts, doubling her Soul Power consumption. If she couldn't quickly overtake her opponent, they would be at a disadvantage.

At this point, the Wind Burst Mad Lion reached the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig and swatted its head with its right paw.

The Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig let out a muffled groan, stumbling and nearly falling.

However, its tremendous Power forcibly halted the Wind Burst Mad Lion's charge.

Just then, the Wind Shadow Leopard appeared by the Wind Burst Mad Lion's side. Its sharp claws managed to tear through its defense, leaving a shallow wound.

Though the Wind Armor absorbed most of the Wind Shadow Leopard's attacks.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion let out an angry roar but didn't pursue the Wind Shadow Leopard, instead charging once more at the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig.

Zhang Yuyan's goal was clear: first deal with the slower Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig and then tackle the Wind Shadow Leopard, whose speed would otherwise excessively drain their stamina.

Lou Tong seemingly realized this as well and immediately ordered the Wind Shadow Leopard to attack.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion didn't evade, casting Wind Armor again to take the attack head-on, while launching a full-force assault on the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion's destructive Power couldn't compare to the Wind Shadow Leopard's. A round of attacks left multiple wounds on the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig's body, each over an inch deep.

Conversely, while the Wind Burst Mad Lion also bore several wounds, they were mere scratches, not troubling it in the slightest.

Lou Tong sighed, understanding that prolonging this battle would surely lead to defeat.

Reluctantly, she was forced to have both Guardian Beasts play their trump cards.

The Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig let out a roar, its eyes turning blood-red as its size increased by thirty percent, and its aura rapidly ascended, reaching the Fourth Rank Commander Level in a blink.

The Wind Shadow Leopard also roared, attracting concentrated Wind Element towards it.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuyan, without any delay, had the Wind Burst Mad Lion use its Secret Technique, intending to keep the Wind Burst Battle Body as a hidden card.

After employing the Secret Technique, the gap between the sides didn't narrow but widened instead.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion charged at the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig once more, sending it flying with a single slap. Without losing momentum, it then charged towards the Wind Shadow Leopard, which was attempting a sneak attack.

The collision of claws was accompanied by the sound of shattering bones, sending the Wind Shadow Leopard flying backwards like a kite with a cut string.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion let out a resounding lion's roar, lunging once more towards the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig, which was just getting up.

The Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig's Talent was Bloodthirst, causing it to go berserk at the sight of blood, reducing its pain perception by over fifty percent.

The disparity in Power was too notable; even if it didn't feel pain, the damage was undeniable.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion again sent the Bloodthirsty Fang-toothed Pig flying, then firmly bit down on its neck.

Afraid of her Guardian Beast dying on the spot, Lou Tong surrendered immediately.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan quickly called off the Wind Burst Mad Lion.
