Chapter 529: Chapter 310: This Is a True Su Zhi Fan (Part 3)

A deep blue Beast Taming Light Array lit up beside him. A Yu Dian Farm Dog stepped out from the light, flames seeming to flow within its crimson pupils. As its four paws touched the ground, they made the sound of burning fire.

This was the first and only time Su Zhi had used Yu Bao in the tournament.

Wei Yuanming smiled in tacit understanding, and a similar deep blue Beast Taming Space lit up behind him.

A thick-bodied, giant python emerged from the Light Array. Its eyes were a muddled mix of beige and deep purple, like a Jade Pendant. It coiled behind its Beast Tamer, as immense as a century-old tree.

This was Wei Yuanming’s Cangsen Python, a High Level Commander Race Pet Beast named Sen Lian.

Both of them understood that words alone would be pointless.

To truly understand one another, they had to fight!

"The two contestants didn’t immediately erupt with intense hostility. Instead, they chatted like two old friends reuniting after a long separation. I even had the strange feeling that this wasn’t a venue for a Beast Tamer competition, but a forum from the Classical Era for philosophical debate...

"And now, they’ve finally summoned their Pet Beasts! Even as they prepare for battle, both sides still feel so polite and refined! I can guarantee this is the most elegant match I’ve seen all year!"

Lu Dongjie was also surprised. ’These two shouldn’t know each other...’

Despite the lack of intense visual effects, this unhurried opening created a unique sense of anticipation.

The livestream chat’s enthusiasm hadn’t diminished in the slightest:

[Golden Rare]: What are they doing? Trash-talking each other?

[Day after Day]: Dunno... The mics here only pick up the Skills. The voices are all muffled...

[Long Road Ahead]: Doesn’t look like trash talk. If it is, it’s way too polite.

[Hard Past]: I agree. Wei Yuanming isn’t like that. I heard he actually really admires Su Zhi in private and has watched a lot of his matches.

[Su Zhi’s Doggy]: So they were just... confessing to each other?

[A Scum White Hair]: ???

[Annihilation]: Do I look like I can’t afford it? Write me a 500-Point fanfic about this!

[Blue Elf]: Just a random passerby here, but isn’t Su Zhi’s one true pairing Cao Mingyu? (smirk)

[Only Mo Gan Na Can’t]: The version I heard was Fang Yuan. (smirk)(smirk)

[Hard Past]: I get it. They’re all his side pieces. (smirk)(smirk)(smirk)

[A Scum White Hair]: !!!

[Golden Rare]: That’s enough, you guys!

While the chat was getting derailed, the battle on the stage had already begun.

"Yu Bao, always remember to keep your distance! The Cangsen Python is a rare Pet Beast that excels at both long-range and close-quarters field control. If it gets close, its constriction will be a huge problem for us!"

"ARF!" Yu Bao acknowledged Su Zhi’s command, its movements becoming even more cautious than usual.

In truth, even without Su Zhi’s reminder, he didn’t dare get cocky. According to the pre-match registration files, Sen Lian’s Real-time Energy Value was exactly 7700, just a tiny bit lower than his own!

Yu Bao seized the initiative, unleashing a Skill. A Flame Storm blotted out the sky as it swept toward his opponent!

This was a pure Fire Element Skill. Freed from the constraints of sand and dust, every wisp of flame was more violent, more erratic, and harder to defend against than before.

Even Shan Bao would have had a hard time taking that attack unscathed.

Yet, faced with Yu Bao’s ferocious assault, Sen Lian neither dodged nor evaded, but simply closed its eyes.

At the same time, a layer of yellowish-brown slime oozed from its bark-like skin, coating its entire body.

The overwhelming flames instantly enveloped the anaconda but failed to cause even a sliver of damage. The moment the flames touched the slime, they were extinguished on the spot, unable to even burn.

In the commentary booth, Lu Dongjie immediately chimed in:

"Yu Bao attempted to suppress Sen Lian, but it clearly didn’t work! Sen Lian neutralized Yu Bao’s fierce flames with a single move: Thousand-Year-Old Vine Oil."

"This is a Racial Skill of the Cangsen Python, often used to defend against natural fires or surprise attacks from Fire Element predators. Once its Skill Level is high enough, it can even allow a Cangsen Python to sit in a blaze completely unscathed!"

[Golden Rare]: Isn’t that way too OP? A fireproof Wood Element Pet Beast is basically invincible, right??

[A Scum White Hair]: It’s not that simple. Pet Beasts all have checks and counters.

Lu Dongjie nodded. "That’s right. In fact, the counter to this move is actually a Water Element Skill. For example, a High-pressure Water Gun could easily wash that layer of oil away!"

For Yu Bao, however, a Water Element Skill was a bit too much to ask for.

He had immediately thought of washing it off with water, too, but unfortunately, he didn’t know any such skills.

"No, Yu Bao, we can try a different approach."

Su Zhi’s eyes glinted. "Since burning it and washing it away won’t work, why not try piercing it!"

"ARF!" Yu Bao nodded, understanding immediately.

SWOOSH!

The next moment, a massive golden blade flew across the arena and viciously stabbed into Sen Lian’s body.

’Take my Radiant Golden Battle Saber!’

This time, Sen Lian finally let out a cry of pain. The Cangsen Python possessed a tough, fire-resistant hide like the highest-quality rubber, but its weakness was its poor defense against sharp objects.

’A Pure Gold Element Skill...’ Wei Yuanming was surprised for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Anaconda, change your defensive strategy."

"HISS!"

Sen Lian nodded vigorously.

Then, patches of green suddenly sprouted from the ground nearby, growing into a thicket of bushes several meters high in just a few seconds.

Wood Element Middle Elite Skill: Bushes.

This was a powerful terrain-altering Skill, capable of instantly transforming the surroundings into a battlefield advantageous for Wood Element Pet Beasts. For Yu Bao, the tough, hard-to-clear bushes would obviously weaken its offensive.

At the same time, another thicket of bushes sprouted up from behind, these ones even taller than those in front.
