Chapter 648: Chapter 642: Facing Blunt Mountain
“Battle begins!”
As David Jones swung his right hand down, the battle officially commenced.
In the sunlight, the Firewood Kylin’s casting speed became incredibly fast, taking the initiative to spew out a dazzling column of light towards Rainbow.
Boom!
Seeing Rainbow unable to dodge in time, being hit by the column of kylin fire, the Firewood Kylin shook its head in smug satisfaction, grinning broadly with mockery.
At this sight, David Jones revealed an odd smile on his face.
Rainbow, with its ability to Manipulate Frost, could instantly cast skills, so how could it fail to react to the Kylin’s attack?
Sure enough, as the dust settled, not only was Rainbow completely unharmed, but it also gained various buff skills like Frostfall Ashes, Frozen Wasteland, and the lush greenery of the surrounding primeval forest instantly turned into a snowy ice field.
“Roar?” (A sneak attack?)
Feeling the Ice Tornado rising beneath its feet, the Firewood Kylin did not dodge. Erupting with kylin fire all over, it decided to exhibit its strength with absolute power.
Class VII Fire skill: Piercing Flame Strike!
“Boom!”
Empowered by the Redeemed Flames, the Firewood Kylin turned into a bundle of gleaming golden light and rushed towards the Ice Tornado.
The next instant, with the sudden explosion of a scorching mushroom cloud, the ravaging ice storm was finally contained by the flames. A forceful blast wave capable of killing a Class V Commander swept across the ground, revealing a ragged and irregular chasm.
“Roar?” (Is that all?)
The Firewood Kylin wore a look of disdain.
“Ee!” (That was just a warm-up, look up at the sky!)
Rainbow took the initiative to remind.
The Firewood Kylin raised its head and saw a terrifyingly majestic Divine Dragon abruptly appear in the pitch-black sky.
No, it was not a Divine Dragon; on closer inspection, it was countless enormous frost comets linked together like dense clouds, tearing through the space, attempting to descend upon the world to purge all life.
Even as an Ultimate Emperor, the Firewood Kylin could still sense a chilling life-and-death threat from this formidable strike.
“Roar?” (Are you for real? What happened to friendship first?)
The Firewood Kylin’s eyes widened as it realized it couldn’t escape the comet’s lock-on. Its Legend Zone activated instantly, intending to withstand the attack.
But feeling that this was still not safe, it also released Inheriting Flames + Redeemed Flames on itself, trying to ignore some of the damage with Inheriting Flames while rapidly Healing any potential injuries with the Redeemed Flames.
Boom!
The icy brilliance shot up into the sky, piercing the heavens. The dark sky was left with only a dazzling bright light, forcing all people and Pets to instinctively close their eyes.
Only Goldy, with his dead fish eyes, had his pupils contract, as if encountering a very familiar scene, his gaze suddenly filled with supreme authority.
Unfortunately, this state lasted less than half a second before reverting to the dull eyes mixed with a hint of panic.
“Gurgle!” (So scary!)
Goldy flicked his tail, ready to use Earth Escape to burrow deep into the ground to avoid the danger.
Happening to see Goldy’s Earth Escape, David Jones shook his head and lamented, “Silly fellow, if it weren’t for Lolo blocking the skill’s residual waves, burrowing into the ground would only get you killed quicker. You’d even spare the need for digging a hole to bury yourself!”
…
Divine Dragon falls, stars Annihilate!
Under Lolo’s helpless gaze, the primeval forest it had created was completely leveled by the Starfall, leaving a massive basin in the ground, so deep that it was bottomless, its power far surpassing that of a nuclear explosion.
David Jones could tell with a mere psychic probe that the average depth of the basin created by Rainbow was about six kilometers, with a surface diameter of roughly ten kilometers.
Compared to the rudimentary form of Starfall that Rainbow had struggled to release before, the Starfall it had now unleashed was easily more than ten times stronger in power. Even the recalcitrant Firewood Kylin had been decimated, such was the might of Absolute Will!
It was conceivable that if Lolo hadn’t acted in advance to mitigate most of the damage from the Starfall, this terrifying attack could have completely obliterated a Level III city.
Inside the Ice Crystal Basin, the Firewood Kylin spat out foam and nearly fainted.
It did not want to fall just yet, trying with all its might to open its tired eyes, only to hear Rainbow’s triumphant and arrogant voice as soon as it managed to look.
“Ee!” (Get up, I wasn’t even serious yet! The Firewood Kylin is nothing more than this!)
“Roar!” (You mangy cur! Just wait until I reach Class VI!)
The fiery-natured Firewood Kylin had not even finished its harsh words when its injuries flared up, coughing up a mouthful of blood and fainting on the spot.
“You know, don’t rub salt in the wounds after winning. After all, without Kylin’s Blessing, it would be difficult for you to evolve Superb Will into Absolute Will in a short period of time.”
David Jones looked at the fallen Firewood Kylin on the ground and suddenly felt a hint of pity in his heart.
“Ee!” (That’s what it gets for calling me a mudfish!)
After its grumble, the jubilant Rainbow raised its head, waiting for the Trainer’s praise.
As for the Firewood Kylin collapsed on the ground, it did not think there was any need to kick it while it was down.
“Alright, one is a mongrel and the other a mudfish, I don’t know why you both like giving each other nicknames!”
David Jones advanced a few steps and carefully checked the Firewood Kylin’s injuries, finding that Lolo had indeed done an impressive job in defense, as the Kylin’s wounds were not severe.
As for why it fainted, it was mostly due to the Firewood Kylin’s exhaustion, rage overwhelming its heart, unable to accept defeat.
“The draw for the top sixteen is about to begin, Lolo, please help me take care of the Kylin,” David Jones glanced at his phone.
“Cheep-cheep!”
…
The rule for the top sixteen in the National Trainer Competition is a double-elimination format, with the winner advancing to the top eight, and the loser entering the loser’s bracket to avoid the possibility of the strong clashing and allowing weaker competitors to rise.
Therefore, unlike the group stage, the matches among the top sixteen will not stagger the seed teams. Some unlucky teams might even face off against four teams from the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five consecutively, starting a hellish challenge.
“I hope we get a good draw!” Sanne and Margaret Yule pressed their hands together and closed their eyes in prayer.
“If we want to win the championship, doesn’t it all amount to the same thing whichever team we fight against?” Jackson Grant said with a smile.
“It’s not the same.” David Jones explained as he looked at the beautiful supporters on the big screen: “If we meet the teams from the eight major colleges, Sanne and Margaret can continue to gain experience on stage.”
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Elsa Hoyle unfolded the drawing slips with both hands.
“Rosewood College, Blunt College!”
Seeing two of the Five Greats’ teams finally facing off, the audience erupted into vehement cheers, their voices echoing throughout the venue.
Even the players in the rest area were pushing back their chairs and standing up, excitedly applauding, silently thanking Blunt College for its generous contribution.
In stark contrast was the utterly silent rest area of Blunt College, with an atmosphere that implied happiness belonged to others, and they had nothing.
Anders Roland felt a tingling in his scalp.
Before participating in the National Trainer Cooperative Competition, he had braced himself mentally, but getting such an unlucky draw was a bit too much.
“We represent not only ourselves but also our college. Even if we lose, we must show the spirit of Blunt College!” Anders Roland suddenly declared resolutely.
