"Hahahaha!" Bu Dong laughed as he spammed two Attack Up cards at the same time to deliver a massive blow against Kong Xian's tortoise pet. It seemed that when two of the same cards were selected, the card's effects were enhanced to a tier two level, an uncommon card type. It had the same uncommon rarity as the techniques because of its tier two level.

Both of the cards combined simultaneously to produce a brand new card design that had a black armoured swordsman carrying a great bigass two handed sword with just one hand. The card shimmered and Bu Dong's pet, the Angry 'Wu Kong' Ape, which was carrying the polestaff had the silhouette of a giant sword as it smashes the polestaff against the Kong Xian's pet, the Towering Tortoise.

Nevertheless, Kong Xian and Yue Han were not stupid. The trio were casual card buddies for the longest time ever and knew that their wealthy friend loved to use flashy cards even though he was humble in nature.

That was why the aggressive Yue Han even placed defence cards into his choice of hand. What surprised Yue Han was the next move the defending players were making as he had no idea that the entire Battle Pet Royal system was so robust.

Kong Xian naturally placed a Defence Up card and Yue Han did the same but his idea was that the Defence Up card could enhance the Towering Tortoise instead of his Blind Bat pet. As odd as it may seem, the Defence Up card went into the Towering Tortoise when Yue Han shouted for that pet instead.

To their eagerness, Yue Han saw their Defence Up cards combine into a tier two level. Kong Xian did not think much and assumed its part of the instance's way of helping them to defend a tier two card.

A new card design of a large cross like looking shield appeared in front of the Towering Tortoise, a vibe of those historical crusaders being the guardians of the weak. The giant sword clashed with the wide cross shield and the sound of metal against metal made the players' blood raced with excitement.

Apparently, when Bu Dong was against Kong Xian and Yue Han, he did not have the disadvantage that he thought he would have. The Pet Battle Royale Instance gave Bu Dong the choice to select two additional cards, making it a total of seven cards in his hand at the start of the battle to balance the odds when facing the two of them.

Given that the cards he could choose were not random but deliberate choices, he could have selected cards that were detrimental towards his opponents' pets. Yet, Bu Dong did not and chose the ones that he really felt like trying just for the sake of fun. They were after all his friends and they could battle again for free since the only price they paid was the cards. (Although truth be told, Bu Dong realised the collection cards were eventually more expensive than he thought.)

Yue Han did not waste Towering Tortoise's effort by blocking the Angry Ape as he quickly swiped the Critical Hit Up card and commanded his Blind Bat to swoop in as soon as possible.

"Defend yourself Angry Ape!" Bu Dong shouted as the Angry Ape used its polestaff to block the bat's attack. However, the polestaff broke into two and the bat's wing slashed the Ape's chest. "Fall back now!" Bu Dong shouted.

"Press forth with the attack!" Kong Xian shouted as he used his new technique card, the Volcanic Blaster. The pet tortoise acceded to his master's command and red lava was blasted out of its miniature mountain shell.

"Evade again!" Bu Dong shouted. Meanwhile, Yue Han found it was weird that Bu Dong was not attacking. What was even weirder that he was avoiding and defending without the use of defensive cards. Did Bu Dong miscalculate something and was not able to attack back or was it because the continuous attempt to attack Bu Dong did not leave him any chance to counterattack?

"No, he is not that stupid either. He might be a person with all the flashy moves, but he still knows how to play strategically. Either he is faking it right now, or he intentionally brought all the flashy cards out just to show off." Yue Han thought to himself.

In any case, Yue Han knew that Bu Dong was hiding a trump card. So he decided to keep his own Wing Attack technique while trying to elude some aggression by taunting Bu Dong and throwing in another Attack Up card into the fray.

On the other hand, Bu Dong did have a trump card, but he was going to use it after the two buddies of his expelled some of their attack cards against him. Bu Dong wanted to wait a little longer before using it but seeing how his pet was more of an assault pet than a defending one; it would not last long under the barrage of attacks.

"Arggh!! I shall use that! Are you ready, Angry Ape?" Bu Dong shouted and though his pet's back was facing him, he could see a slight nod from tired beastly figure after defending for a long time.

"Alright! I, your Father, shall show you how it's done! Fear me! Tremble under the feet of the almighty Bu Dong!" Bu Dong became all too proud and both Yue Han and Kong Xian placed their hands on their faces knowing that Bu Dong was going to throw some flashy card.

Bu Dong brought that 'flashy' card out from the midst of several floating cards and he swiped with all his might. To all three's amazement, as Bu Dong swiped that card, the edge of that card produced sparks. Instead of enlarging immediately, it spiralled upwards making the opposing duo aware that Bu Dong activated a very flashy card.

Suddenly, the card disappeared and did not enlarge at all which made Bu Dong dumbfounded. "Eh? Did the card effect fail or something?" Bu Dong said out loud and it triggered Yue Han and Kong Xian to laugh.

"So? No card effect? Blind Bat attack now! Deal the finishing blow to the pet of the Almighty Bu Dong. Make his pet bow down to yours truly!" Yue Han commanded and Kong Xian assisted by giving a Critical Hit Up card to Yue Han, which was the other card he obtained from winning. Yue Han wished to use Wing Attack at this moment but he did not want to risk too much seeing that Bu Dong's card effect was not activated.

However, deep inside him, he also felt the urge to be aggressive and give Bu Dong an overkill, to teach him a lesson for being so high and mighty. Needless to say, that Wing Attack card was not needed when the trio suddenly saw a bright light enveloping Bu Dong's Angry Ape. Even, Kong Xian's Critical Hit Up was subsequently returned to his floating cards. It was being refunded by the Pet Battle instance as they did not allow any attacks to be done at the current moment.

"What is happening?" A customer shouted at Mr Patsu for an answer since it was the first time they saw a card in action being returned to the player's hand. However, some of the smarter customers, or the customers that had played sufficient card games had a premonition of what was coming. It was after all a staple part of most card games.

Mr Patsu gave a glance at Bear Cub One, and both gave an astounded look before giving the answer out.

"Digital Evolution."

The crowd went bonkers from hearing those two words.
