Chapter 530: Chapter 310: This Is a True Su Zhi Fan, Part 4

Compelled to dodge the encirclement from behind and find a better angle to unleash its Skills, Yu Bao subconsciously surged forward—only for a gaping maw to lunge at its face, plunging its vision into darkness.

After unleashing its own Skill, Sen Lian had lain in wait directly in Yu Bao’s path and launched an attack without a moment’s hesitation!

"CRUNCH!"

The massive jaws snapped shut, the sound echoing clearly across the entire arena.

"YIP!"

But a split second earlier, a plume of sand had slipped out from between Sen Lian’s teeth. Yu Bao, its form rematerialized, crouched in the distance, a look of lingering terror on its face.

’Never charge forward! Sen Lian is using an "encircle three, leave one" tactic to force you into the easiest escape route! It’s better to burn more Energy clearing away the constantly sprouting thickets than to take the easy way out!’

That was the message Su Zhi had sent the moment Yu Bao started to subconsciously advance.

One second later, and Yu Bao would have become Sen Lian’s dinner.

Many of Yu Bao’s maneuvers and observations were predicated on its abilities—especially its speed—being superior to its opponent’s.

Against an opponent who could end the match with a single blow, Yu Bao really would have been done for if it hadn’t laid the groundwork beforehand.

Having freed itself, Yu Bao activated its Yanhuang Blessing, incinerating the thickets that closed in and forcefully carving out a small safe zone within the Anaconda’s encirclement.

In truth, even with the power of Yanhuang Blessing, Yu Bao didn’t dare to take one of Sen Lian’s bites head-on.

The Effect of the Flaming Body Shield was undeniably powerful, but all Skills have their limits. It was one thing to block some Vines or a few ranged basic attacks, but if the entire Cangsen Python were to pounce, Yu Bao absolutely could not withstand it.

’The opponent’s weight of several tons could probably snuff out my pitiful little flame in an instant!’

This was precisely why the Cangsen Python was one of the few Wood Element Pet Beasts that didn’t fear Fire. Not only did it have a fire-resistant coating, but it also had the tonnage to back it up.

As for damage from sharp weapons...

Yu Bao’s gaze shifted.

The Radiant Golden Battle Saber that had been embedded in its opponent’s body had been forced out by the healing flesh, and the wound had already vanished without a trace.

’Sharp weapons are a relatively effective tool, but if I can’t find an opportunity to press the advantage, it’ll be impossible to win this way!’

"We see Yu Bao has managed to escape Sen Lian’s counterattack, but that was an incredibly close call... The Cangsen Python is a Pet Beast with excellent Defense Power and control, and its close-quarters combat abilities are also formidable. If Su Zhi can’t find the right counter, trying to win on raw power alone will be, I have to say, extremely difficult."

[Butterfly Fan Bone]: But the Cangsen Python isn’t supposed to be very fast, right? Couldn’t they use that as an opening?

[Day after Day]: Unlikely... Its absolute speed isn’t high, but its relative speed when counter-attacking is terrifying...

[Jade Balance 001]: Right, Yu Bao is rarely in such a sorry state.

[A Scum White Hair]: There are two ways to handle a Pet Beast like this. Either you use overwhelming brute force and take it out in one shot, or you have to be better at defense or control and prepare for a long, drawn-out stalemate.

[Golden Rare]: If you could one-shot this thing... you wouldn’t need to be in high school...

[A Scum White Hair]: Or, you combine both methods. Use control or defensive counter-attacks to force an opening, then focus all your firepower to take it down!

[Butterfly Fan Bone]: That sounds even harder than the first two options /facepalm

It wasn’t just Su Zhi and Yu Bao on the stage who were caught in a dilemma. In the commentary booth, Lu Dongjie and the live comments were just as troubled, with many chiming in to offer their own strategies.

What’s a "mom fan" compared to a true Su Zhi stan? Feeling like you’re right there in the arena fighting alongside him—that’s what a real Su Zhi stan is...
