“Not bad, at least it warmed up Rainbow a bit.”
Glancing at the frozen Azure Rooster in the pit, David Jones looked at the referee.
“Winner: David Jones.” The referee announced decisively.
In the spectator seats, many people stared at David Jones in a daze, as if watching a dazzling star rising.
David Jones left the main arena amidst thunderous applause.
Unlike before, this time in the player’s passage, he met Vivian Gallagher, who was on stage for the second match.
Her waterfall-like silver hair falling to her slender waist and her delicate appearance reminded David Jones of the beautiful girl he had met at Starlight Gym.
As they brushed past each other, Vivian Gallagher suddenly threw a remark.
“I’ll see you at the finals.”
Hearing this, David Jones frowned slightly.
“Vivian’s Pure Ice Fox is strong, but it may not necessarily be able to beat Field Astrophel’s Earthbound Horned Dragon; does she have another ace up her sleeve?”
On the screen, standing opposite to Vivian was a young man wearing a black and white fitted suit, whose every move was somewhat refined and slightly rigid. His name was James Clark.
His pet was a beast with a golden horn on its head.
Its ferocious head was covered with brown-yellow rock, like the murderous eyes made of rubies. The deep blue crystal-linked back had two sharp golden curved horns.
“Pet Name”: Golden Horned Lion
“Pet Type”: Earth, Gold Dual System
“Species Level”: Commander
“Grade”: Class III middle-level
“Species Skill”: Earth Shake, Mountain-breaking Horn Strike, Rock Sandstorm, Earth-splitting Golden Horn
As an earth and gold dual system commander beast, the Golden Horned Lion had extremely outstanding physical defense capabilities, but it was still far weaker than the Pure Ice Fox.
Well aware of this, James Clark commanded the Golden Horned Lion to create a sky-covering rock sandstorm to hide himself as soon as the referee shouted “Start!”.
Immediately after, a rumbling thunder sounded, and the broken rock sand, like a yellow dragon, rose and furiously swept towards Vivian Gallagher.
In order to prevent his pet from falling into endless psychic attacks, James Clark intended to eliminate Vivian Gallagher first.
“This sand and gravel…”
Vivian Gallagher frowned slightly, seemingly more concerned about the air-filled gravel staining her clothes than the sandstorm’s aggressive attack. “Full ground frost!”
The tail of the Pure Ice Fox gently swayed, and a snow-white ice crystal slowly fell.
Endless cold surged, and the temperature in the arena dropped drastically. Many spectators shivered uncontrollably from the sudden chill.
The crazily sweeping sandstorm in the arena was instantly suppressed by the extreme cold, and if it weren’t for the protective shield on the stage to isolate the energy impact, the entire main venue might have been turned into an ice land.
“James Clark lost.” David Jones said suddenly.
At this moment, James Clark’s body trembled, and he subconsciously glanced down.
“He’s been hit!”
Without anyone noticing, the piercing cold had spread from the ground of the main arena and even wrapped around his feet.
“It’s over.” Vivian Gallagher said.
With her pride in mind, she would never attack a Trainer before defeating their pet unless her opponent actively attacked her.
“I really can’t win!”
James Clark wore a bitter smile on his face, without a chance to raise his hand and surrender, the cold under his feet burst completely, turning him into a human-shaped ice sculpture.
The Golden Horned Lion, overwhelmed after the Trainer was lost, gave in after taking several psychic-based skills, and Vivian Gallagher claimed an easy victory.
David Jones checked the time, there were still two games to go before his turn; the third round of the competition should start in half an hour.
Soon, after fierce battles, the top four contestants were decided. They were David Jones, Vivian Gallagher, Field Astrophel, and Claire Guarneri.
At this moment, the main venue’s large screen was randomly matching the games.
“David Jones VS Field Astrophel.”
“Vivian Gallagher VS Claire Guarneri.”
Seeing this, David Jones shrugged his shoulders, his face showing no surprise.
The competition had already reached the semi-finals; it was normal for him to be matched up with any contestant by this point, especially since he was already interested in Pureblood Flood Dragons like the Earthbound Horned Dragon.
“It’s time to show the audience what a real Flood Dragon is!”
As both were Dragoons, and their pets were Pureblood Flood Dragons, if David could win with his Commander-class Frost Wyvern against the King-class Earthbound Horned Dragon, it would highlight the gap between genius Trainers.
“We’ll be facing the Earthbound Horned Dragon in the next game; it’s time to show our true strength.”
“Yi!” o(‘a ‘ )o(Understood.)
Although Rainbow said this, her expression showed some contempt, as if she didn’t take her opponent seriously.
Amid the eager anticipation of the many spectators, the first match of the third round, the battle of Flood Dragons, was about to begin.
“Finally, it’s David Jones’s turn!”
“At this semi-final level, it’s not going to be another quick win, right?”
“The gap between a Commander-class and a King-class is far greater than the three-tier gap between a Superior-class and a Commander-class! Forget about a quick win, David Jones doesn’t stand a chance in this match.”
Voices discussing the match filled the spectator area.
“It’s such a waste that a genius like this was taken as an apprentice by someone like Lilith Hoyle. She’s just an Alchemist who can only practice Pharmacy, talent squandered!”
Lawrence Boris, the head of the Battle Department at Rosewood College and a Legendary Beastmaster, shook his head regretfully.
If he could have David as his apprentice, he wouldn’t dare expect to cultivate him into a Legendary Beastmaster – after all, becoming Legendary was extremely difficult. Even Lawrence himself might not be able to achieve it in another attempt. However, he had some confidence in cultivating David into an Epic Beastmaster.
“What a great prospect, and he ends up in the Pharmacy Department!” Lawrence sighed in his heart.
Can’t help it; the Pharmacy Department at Rosewood College is really wealthy.
Even as a Legendary Powerful One, Lawrence didn’t have as much wealth as Lilith Hoyle. He really couldn’t compete with her.
Moreover, if one blindly invested resources in cultivating disciples, even geniuses could be turned into waste.
Some Trainers who haven’t experienced life and death battles cannot achieve Epic or even King levels.
This is also one of the reasons why Pharmacy Department students have always been suppressed by Battle Department students.
“Not bad, didn’t disappoint the teacher.” Audrey Harvey’s face always had a touch of a smile.
The honor of being number one in the ranking matches was just the beginning, and the complete defeat of the Battle Department by the Pharmacy Department freshmen after they entered Rosewood College was the real goal. If David could win first place, she wouldn’t mind giving her little apprentice another big surprise.
At the moment, David Jones slowly walked up to the main stage along the player’s passageway.
As he appeared, the other three contestants who had already made it to the semifinals became tense and prepared.
Record speaks for itself.
No matter what kind of opponent, he was always able to score quick wins, resulting in the overwhelming momentum he accumulated on the battlefield, which was quite terrifying.
Such an opponent deserves every bit of respect!
