Second round.
Li Cunxu replaced the Shadow Crow with Little White Spider.
The Shadow Crow did not have the strength to fight a second round, unless it used the time resurrection skill to revive itself and restore its full state.
The Shadow Crow was in a bad state, suffering not only from injuries caused by rocks but also on the verge of exhausting its Spiritual Energy.
Unaware Spell is a great skill, but it has a drawback common to many top-tier skills.
It consumes a lot of Spiritual Energy.
Unaware Spell requires a constant expenditure of Spiritual Energy to maintain.
This means that as long as the Shadow Crow keeps Unaware Spell active, it's continuously consuming Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, the stronger or more numerous the curses it conceals, the more Spiritual Energy it consumes.
Spiritual Energy is not the Shadow Crow's strong suit, hence its Spiritual Energy was at its limit.
As Li Cunxu's Little White Spider took the stage, Li Pingxue slowly summoned her second pet beast.
This is the advantage of the loser, to counterattack later, waiting for the winner's pet beast to be summoned first.
Li Pingxue's second pet beast was the Fire-toothed Elephant.
Obviously, she had chosen a fire-type pet beast to target Little White Spider.
Insect-type pet beasts are mostly weak against fire due to their racial traits.
The Fire-toothed Elephant resembled a mammoth, with fiery red mane like flames, and two large red tusks with red flame patterns beside its mouth.
"The match begins."
Li Pingxue said, "Flame Mountain."
The Fire-toothed Elephant spit a mouthful of fire on the ground, sending fierce flames underground, slightly lifting the soil like a small Flame Mountain hillock.
Li Pingxue looked at the inactive Li Cunxu with a puzzled expression.
Why wasn't Li Cunxu contesting the terrain?
The issue with Little White Spider was different from that of the Shadow Crow. The Little White Spider had learned the terrain, but hadn't practiced much, and also hadn't added many points, so the proficiency of its terrain skill never improved, making it impossible to compete with the Fire-toothed Elephant for terrain.
The Little White Spider's terrain was called Poisonous Miasma Swamp, a very common poison-type terrain skill.
The skill being common doesn't mean it's weak.
The Poisonous Miasma Swamp had practical effects like obscuring vision, poisoning, and slowing down the enemy.
The drawback, however, is that it doesn't have the advantage in terrain competition.
Li Pingxue said, "Volcanic Eruption."
The Fire-toothed Elephant roared, heavily stomping its front limbs.
The ground cracked, and columns of flame rose from the fissures, surging towards Little White Spider.
Li Cunxu said, "Little White Spider, Mental Cone."
Little White Spider's massive Spiritual Power condensed into an invisible cone that swiftly stabbed towards the Fire-toothed Elephant.
The Fire-toothed Elephant, hit, appeared dazed with double images before its eyes. The rising flame columns hadn't reached Little White Spider yet, and the Fire-toothed Elephant collapsed first.
Falling didn't count as a loss; soon, the Fire-toothed Elephant staggered back up.
Suddenly, a crack opened on the ground under Little White Spider's feet, and scorching flames spewed out from the crack.
Little White Spider used its Spiritual Power to lift itself, making a light jump, instantly flying high into the sky, dodging the flame column.
Li Pingxue quickly said, "Fire-toothed Elephant, great opportunity, Fire Burst Bomb."
The Fire-toothed Elephant slightly opened its mouth, gathering fire-type Spiritual Energy in front of it, and with a blow, the fire-type Spiritual Energy transformed into a massive Fireball in the blink of an eye, the flames inside roaring and intense.
In mid-air, facing the fierce offensive of the incoming Fire Burst Bomb, Little White Spider seemed somewhat flustered.
Actually, the Little White Spider could handle it on its own, as it had intelligence, but with few combat experiences, its combat awareness was somewhat weak.
Li Cunxu loudly reminded, "Little White Spider, use your web to slice it."
Little White Spider regained its calm, spitting a long, thin strand of silver-white silk that sliced the Fire Burst Bomb in half.
Li Pingxue was stunned.
What the hell?
The silk that should melt at high temperatures actually sliced the extremely hot Fire Burst Bomb in half.
Li Pingxue said, "Fire-toothed Elephant, Flame Charge."
The Fire-toothed Elephant, engulfed in astonishing flames, charged at high speed like a fiery locomotive towards Little White Spider, which had just landed.
Li Cunxu said, "Little White Spider, weave a web to trap it."
Little White Spider wrapped a leg of the charging Fire-toothed Elephant with its silver web and spat a few more strands to bind its other four limbs.
The Fire-toothed Elephant was in trouble.
The silver web was fire-resistant and couldn't be burned away.
The silver web was also particularly tough, so no matter how hard the Fire-toothed Elephant struggled, it couldn't break the web.
Taking advantage of its predicament, Little White Spider bombarded the Fire-toothed Elephant with Mental Cones, eventually knocking it out.
Li Pingxue said, "Your web isn't scientific."
...
Third round.
Li Pingxue summoned her third pet beast, the Tidal Wave Elephant.
Tidal Wave Elephant was a water-blue color all over, with a large head and ears, and especially thick legs.
"Why are all the contracted beasts elephants? Could it be that Li Pingxue's talent is related to elephants?"
Li Cunxu speculated in his heart.
The appearance of three elephant-type beasts forced Li Cunxu to think in this direction.
As Li Cunxu speculated, Li Pingxue's talent was indeed related to elephants. Her talent was named [Power of the Elephant King (Purple)].
[Power of the Elephant King]: A purple epic-level talent.
Trait 1: Increases the strength of elephant-type pet beasts tenfold.
Trait 2: For each elephant-type pet beast a Beast Master contracts, they gain a share of the elephant's strength.
...
The moment the Tidal Wave Elephant came on stage, it started a new round of terrain alteration.
Li Pingxue performed her own terrain alteration tricks again.
The Dry and Cracked Land of the Earth Armor Elephant was covered by the Flame Mountain of the Fire-toothed Elephant, and then the Flame Mountain of the Fire-toothed Elephant was covered by the Tidal Shore of the Tidal Wave Elephant.
The wave-like water extinguished the flames of the previous terrain skill Flame Mountain, and upon contact with the high temperature, a large amount of white steam rose from ground cracks.
Before long, the Tidal Shore covered the entire battlefield.
Li Pingxue said, "Tidal Wave Elephant, Giant Wave Strike."
The Tidal Wave Elephant, standing in the water, summoned a giant wave and smashed it towards Little White Spider.
Little White Spider used an old trick again, launching another Mental Cone.
The Mental Cone pierced into the Tidal Wave Elephant's brain, disappearing without a trace.
Li Cunxu instantly understood why Li Pingxue summoned the Tidal Wave Elephant to deal with Little White Spider, as the Tidal Wave Elephant had a talent for strong resistance against mental attacks.
Little White Spider's mental skills did minimal damage.
The giant wave approached, and Little White Spider quickly spat a balloon made of web. With a tug of Spiritual Power, Little White Spider was swiftly lifted into the sky by the balloon.
Without Li Cunxu's command, Little White Spider spat out some silk, firmly wrapping around the four limbs of the Tidal Wave Elephant.
Another old move at play.
Li Pingxue said, "Tidal Wave Elephant, Water Transform."
The Tidal Wave Elephant turned into a mass of water, easily shedding the web binding its limbs.
Li Cunxu chuckled, "Water Transform can indeed render the web ineffective, but have you considered what happens when a water-formed Tidal Wave Elephant encounters poison?"
Little White Spider flicked a few drops of venom inside the water-formed Tidal Wave Elephant, and blended with the water, it quickly spread.
The Tidal Wave Elephant in its water form was fine, but once it reverted to its physical form, it would be poisoned immediately.
