“Looking old?”
Tian Ping was immediately a little annoyed and said, “I call this maturity!”
“Oh.”
Bai Qi didn’t argue, followed along with Tian Ping’s words and responded with a yawn, “Let’s get started, I need to get back soon.”
“Brother Tian, be careful with this guy, he’s cunning, specializes in kidney stabs!”
With Shi Yong’s words, the expressions of all those present changed when they looked at Bai Qi, especially the men who unconsciously covered their lower back.
Maybe this is how he got through the ninth floor…
“I remembered, his little skeleton moves fast and specializes in backstabbing, very ruthless.”
“Good thing my Stubborn Stone Ball doesn’t have a waist, it’s not afraid of being stabbed.”
“What if he stabs you instead?”
“Hiss… are young people so shameless these days, I need to be more careful in the future.”
Hearing the surrounding conversation, Bai Qi was somewhat speechless.
His reputation was utterly destroyed in one fell swoop.
“Alpha, remember to be light-handed, um, don’t backstab.”
Crack crack.
(Don’t backstab? I understand.)
Alpha looked at his towering six-armed opponent and instantly understood Bai Qi’s meaning.
“Are both players ready? Then let the match begin!”
The referee once again announced the start of the match, and Tian Ping, who was prepared, didn’t rashly attack, but prioritized defense, with one pair of his arms tightly guarding his lower back.
He’s determined to label him as a kidney hitter.
“Alpha, attack.”
Bai Qi instructed Alpha, who immediately turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the Mighty Frog, moving even faster than Han Wei’s Wind Demon Wolf.
Han Wei frowned slightly, “This won’t work for him unless he can stay far from the ground, otherwise, it’s difficult to dodge the Stomp.”
The Wind Demon Wolf was extremely fast, but it could not fly, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been hit by the Stomp.
Although Alpha was faster than the Wind Demon Wolf, it was even more grounded, and going up rashly would be inviting death.
As expected, seeing Alpha rush forward, the Mighty Frog lifted its right foot, obviously planning to use the Stomp.
But Alpha was faster, slashing at the ground with its sword as the Mighty Frog stomped down, countless Ice Flowers swiftly spread, creeping towards the Mighty Frog.
Crack!
The Ice Flowers collided with the shockwave from the Stomp, instantly turning into countless ice crystals dancing in the sky, but they equally negated the residual wave of the Stomp.
The Mighty Frog was blocked by the ice crystals, and couldn’t see Alpha’s position clearly, only vaguely aware of a figure rapidly approaching.
“Mighty Frog, use Blast Punch.”
Tian Ping immediately issued a new command to Mighty Frog, who threw all six mighty fists forward, releasing blast energy from the punches, instantly turning the sky full of ice crystals into nothingness.
President Qin was somewhat surprised, “This seems a little different from regular Blast Punch.”
The usual Blast Punch only uses a great amount of force to damage the enemy’s interior to achieve a blast effect.
But Tian Ping’s Blast Punch exploded in mid-air, obviously unusual.
Wen Ruoshui nodded, saying, “That’s right. Tian Ping’s Mighty Frog took in the power of the Blast Stone. Its Blast Punch will far surpass its usual strength.” “That kid’s name is Bai Qi, isn’t it? If he’s smart, he’ll immediately have his beast retreat or risk severe damage from the Blast Punch if it hits an Undead creature.”
Wen Ruoshui seemed to kindly remind President Qin who twitched at the corner of his eye, replying, “Heh, heh… Thanks for the tip.”
That little brat… he better beat this guy good or else he’ll never stop mocking me.
“Brother Tian’s Blast Punch is formidable. I wish I had a Blast Stone too.”
Shi Yong, who also had high hopes for cultivating a Mighty Frog, said this with an envious expression. Meanwhile, a student nearby snickered, “That’s because you lacked the guts to participate in this battle. Otherwise, you could’ve claimed the championship.”
“The championship? Forget about it. With Brother Tian around, I don’t have a single chance.”
Shi Yong shook his head and glared at the ring, saying firmly, “I wouldn’t mind not having the Blast Stone, just as long as I can give the guy a solid beating.”
First, it was betrayal, then it was running away from a fight. Shi Yong had been holding his breath in anger.
As the Mighty Frog’s Blast Punch landed, the storm of ice crystals finally dissipated, exposing Alpha’s figure to the Mighty Frog’s sight.
Croak, croak!
The Mighty Frog didn’t hesitate and immediately executed a Double Kick towards Alpha. You could vaguely see some Blast Energy left on its large feet.
After absorbing the Blast Stone, every Combat System skill the Mighty Frog used could be powered up with Blast Energy, it just hadn’t done so before.
However, faced with the Mighty Frog’s fierce attack, Alpha’s movements were far too slow to react in time.
“This guy, he couldn’t have been hit by the blast wave, could he?”
Seeing Alpha dumbfoundedly standing without moving, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but panic.
Even though he was somewhat resentful towards Bai Qi (he would never admit it was because Bai Qi’s beast evolved too quickly), it didn’t mean he wanted to see Bai Qi lose just like that.
If even the first person to clear the Lamentation Tower couldn’t beat Tian Ping, then what was his perennial fifth place worth?
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Qi, wanting nothing more than to rush up and remind him to dodge quickly. However, Bai Qi looked thoughtful, having an odd expression on his face.
Bang!
Finally, the Mighty Frog’s Double Kick landed on Alpha. The deep blue armor shattered loudly, disintegrating into fragments upon contact with the Blast Energy, and fell to the ground.
However, after all the ice fragments fell, not a trace of Alpha could be seen.
“His pet is a skeleton, it couldn’t be that its bones were shattered, could it?”
Anxious, Tian Ping quickly looked over in Bai Qi’s direction.
Both beasts and Beast Masters have a Soul Contract. If a beast dies, the Beast Master would also bear a huge backlash. Moreover, they would have one less contract position for the rest of their lives.
If he really killed Bai Qi’s beast, then the friendship match that day would be completely ruined.
Perhaps, it would even sour the relationship between the Haoli Dojo and the Beast Master Association.
Thinking of this, Tian Ping became somewhat frantic, and the Mighty Frog was also a bit at a loss.
Thunk!
Just then, a figure shot out from the block of ice under the Mighty Frog’s foot. Before the Mighty Frog could react, the figure swung its large sword body and slammed it onto the Mighty Frog’s head.
Croak…
After receiving a heavy blow, the Mighty Frog felt dizzy and faint. Alpha then happily ran to Bai Qi’s side, waiting for his praise.
Bai Qi glanced at the increasingly bizarre atmosphere around him and sighed helplessly.
No backstabbing, so you resort to a sucker punch?
They say that beasts follow their masters, so why is it that Alpha hadn’t picked up a bit of my positivity?
