Chapter 667 The Final Result (Part 2)

The scorching flames instantly filled the entire sky once more.

“Tingting!”

Tingbao roared amidst the blazing fire.

Suddenly, an exceptionally thick bolt of lightning shot out from the center, striking the Exploding Firehawk on the right.

The Exploding Firehawk reacted swiftly, transforming into flames and rapidly ascending into the sky.

The yellow lightning missed its target.

However, at that moment, the yellow lightning turned straight upwards, continuing its attack on the Exploding Firehawk above.

This wasn’t real yellow lightning, but Tingbao, enveloped in the power of yellow lightning!

“Lei Julong has broken through the Exploding Fireball’s attack again!” Tao Jia exclaimed from the platform.

“It seems Lei Julong’s defense is quite good; after suffering two attacks from the Exploding Fireball, it can still chase after the Exploding Firehawk,” Chen Zhuo said.

Tao Jia analyzed,

“Dragon-type pets generally have high defense, but Lei Ju Long’s defense is clearly higher than that of ordinary dragon-type pets. It must have a characteristic that increases its defense.”

“Li Li,”

Li Meng called out, indicating that Lei Ju Long was definitely injured, but with so many arcs of electricity around its body, the injury wasn’t very noticeable.

“What surprised me was that Qiao Sang seemed very certain that the Exploding Firehawk on the right was the real thing, and he didn’t hesitate at all to let Lei Ju Long attack the Exploding Firehawk on the right,” Tao Jia said.

“Most experienced professional beast tamers can distinguish between a pet’s real body and its substitute,” Chen Zhuo remarked. “Although Qiao Sang is young, he clearly has a very keen judgment.”

At this moment, the Exploding Firehawk on the left had disappeared in the sky, indicating that the judgment was correct.

“Lili,”

Li Meng called out, indicating that it also depended on the quality of the substitute used by the pet. If it was the substitute used by the Nether Ring Monarch, even an S-rank professional beast tamer would have difficulty distinguishing it, and Thorfin couldn’t tell the difference.

Here we go again, whenever Ghost-type pets are mentioned, she has to bring it up. She admitted that the substitute used by the Nether Ring Monarch was difficult to distinguish from the real one, but the main reason Thorfin couldn’t tell the difference was because it was a nighttime competition. The Nether Ring Monarch was too small and too dark; it was difficult to find even when it was actually there, let alone when it was invisible… Tao Jia thought to herself, but outwardly agreed:

“Indeed, compared to the Nether Ring Monarch, the Explosive Firehawk’s substitute is easier to identify.”

As they spoke, high in the sky, the Explosive Firehawk transformed into a crimson stream of fire that shot straight into the heavens. During this time, it glanced down.

In an instant, thousands of fireballs appeared out of thin air.

“Bang bang bang!”

Almost the instant they appeared, the burning fireballs exploded one after another.

A blazing inferno swept across the sky, heat waves soaring upwards and turning the heavens red.

Tingbao, transformed into a thick bolt of lightning, burst forth from the flames with a deafening roar.

But just as it broke through, the Explosive Firehawk glanced down again.

Thousands of burning fireballs surged forth once more, exploding wildly and obscuring Tingbao’s figure.

This won’t do; the speed must be increased… Qiao Sang sensed Tingbao’s condition and immediately shouted,

“One million!” As

soon as he finished speaking, amidst the continuously exploding red shockwaves, blinding lightning suddenly tore through the sea of fire. A bolt of lightning, far thicker and more powerful than before, pierced through layers of swirling smoke and fire, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, chasing straight after the Explosive Firehawk.

Converting 100,000 volts to a million volts, using even more powerful electric force to accelerate… At this rate, they might be overtaken again, just like before… Thorfinn decisively shouted:

“Split Explosion!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosive fire hawk suddenly appeared high in the sky, followed by two explosive fire hawks advancing side by side, like two streaks of crimson light.

At the same time, countless burning fireballs surged forth once more, blocking Thunder’s path.

“Boom!”

Lightning flashed in the thick clouds, the thunderstorm still raging.

From below, the two streaks of crimson light seemed to plunge into the lightning.

This height was enough… Josang shouted:

“Descent!”

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Accompanying her voice were the explosions of countless fireballs high in the sky.

Descent? Descent what? Thorfinn heard the sound and frowned in thought.

Before he could find the skill “Descent” in the Thunder Dragon’s data, suddenly, the lightning traversing the thick clouds suddenly increased in power, flashing violently.

Immediately afterward, countless streaks of lightning intertwined, and at the point of their entanglement, a colossal lightning dragon, identical in appearance to the Thunder Dragon, emerged from the depths of the clouds with a devastating force, swooping down upon one of the exploding fire eagles below!

What was this?! The audience froze, their faces showing obvious shock and astonishment.

Some people’s breathing quickened: “Holy crap! What kind of skill is this? Can a King-level pet beast unleash a skill like this?”

Others quickly recognized it: “Oh! My god! Thunder Dragon Descent! Qiao Sang’s Thunder Dragon can actually use Thunder Dragon Descent!”

Just as everyone was stunned, raindrops suddenly felt overhead, and lightning began to flash in the sky outside the arena as well.

This wasn’t because the area affected by the lightning had expanded, but rather because the sky, stimulated by Qing Bao’s previous raging wind phenomenon, combined with the lightning and the Thunder Dragon Descent, had triggered genuine natural lightning.

However, soon, an invisible screen covering the audience blocked out the rain.

“The Thunder Dragon has unleashed Thunder Dragon Descent!” On the host’s platform, Tao Jia, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly became excited: “The terrifying power of lightning even caused rain to fall!”

In S-rank professional beast tamer competitions, super-tier skills are almost a daily occurrence, but it’s rare for low-level pets to unleash such skills, especially a powerful and extremely rare one like Thunder Dragon Descent.

Just the fact that it possesses both Dragon and Electric attributes is enough to deter many pets. Even if the attribute requirement is met, few pets with both Dragon and Electric attributes can learn it, let alone a pet at the King level.

Chen Zhuo was first stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed loudly:

“Contestant Qiao Sang deliberately made the Thunder Dragon chase the Explosive Firehawk so that the Explosive Firehawk could fly even higher!”

In this thunderous weather, the higher the altitude, the harder it is to dodge.

This Thunder Dragon actually knows Thunder Dragon Descent! Thorfinn’s face immediately darkened, his mind racing.

Although Explosive Firehawk is currently using its Stand, even if Thunder Dragon Descent misses its target and hits the Stand, the subsequent electric energy aftershocks will still cause a large-scale attack, damaging the user!

Moreover, its power might be amplified in thunderstorms!

No wonder Josan had Thunder Dragon use Thunderstorm from the start. She wasn’t thinking that Thunderstorm would restrict Explosive Firehawk’s movements or allow it to attack; she was planning to use Thunder Dragon Descent from the beginning!

No, we absolutely can’t follow Josan’s rhythm like this. Once attacked, even if it’s a Stand, at such close range, the real body will definitely be severely injured! And Thunder Dragon below can finish it off at any time!

Thorfinn almost thought of a strategy without much hesitation:

“Down!”

“Explosion!”

High in the sky, one of the Explosive Firebirds suddenly changed direction and plunged down towards the direction Thunder Treasure was rising!

As it moved, countless burning fireballs appeared wildly in all directions around it.

Another Explosive Firehawk went straight to meet the descending Thunder Dragon!

“Boom!!!”

The massive Thunder Dragon crashed into the oncoming Explosive Firehawk first, and in an instant, blinding white light swept in all directions, and countless terrifying lightning bolts swept in all directions to the west.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Just as the blinding white light swept across, thousands of burning fireballs exploded.

In a terrifying crimson heatwave, lightning and fire collided, Tingbao and the exploding firebird, one rising and the other falling, crashed together!

Blazing white lightning and crimson flames instantly intertwined and exploded, the violent shockwave raging all around, but was instantly blocked by the flames of the explosion.

Above, the violent energy aftershocks of the Thunder Dragon spread outwards like a tidal wave, the air currents surging and vibrating, pushing away all the crimson heatwaves below.

For a moment, lightning and firelight intertwined in the sky, and with a “boom,” lightning struck down, the violent lightning clearly gaining the upper hand!

In the stands, the audience was thrilled, feeling that the intensity of the battle was almost comparable to some royal-level pet beast competitions, and they couldn’t help but take out their phones to take pictures and videos of the scene.

In countless shots, two figures that looked charred black fell amidst lightning and firelight, crashing heavily to the ground.

“In a fierce collision! Both the Thunder Dragon and the Exploding Firebird crashed to the ground!” Tao Jia shouted from the commentator’s platform, “Is this match going to decide the winner?!”

“This was truly an intense match,” Chen Zhuo remarked. “It seems both sides have suffered serious injuries.”

“Lili,”

Li Menggui called out, indicating that it felt the match might be a draw.

On the high platform, Thorfinn slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

It seemed to be a draw. A draw was better than losing all six matches…

Images of the previous five matches flashed through Thorfinn’s mind, but it quickly shook its head to dispel them, not daring to relive them.

Just then, Josang’s voice rang out from afar:

“Resonance!”

Upon hearing this, Thorfinn’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within it.

The next second, the premonition came true.

On the ground, the Thunder Dragon, completely charred and unrecognizable, struggled to open its eyes, faint yellow arcs of electricity emanating from its body.

Thorfinn, startled by the sight, quickly shouted,

“Eagle! Get up!”

Simultaneously, he continuously stimulated his connection with the Explosive Firehawk in his mind.

“Explosion…”

The Explosive Firehawk’s wings fluttered slightly, and it slowly opened its eyes.

Great! Thorfinn was almost overjoyed.

However, the next second, his expression froze.

High in the sky, lightning flashed, and arcs of electricity flickered on the Thunder Dragon’s body, while broken arcs of electricity appeared in mid-air, seemingly connecting.

This…this was Heavenly Thunder Resonance! The “resonance” Josang had mentioned earlier was Heavenly Thunder Resonance! Thorfinn’s face changed drastically, and he shouted,

“Explode!”

“Explode, explode…”

The Explosive Firehawk lay on the ground, looking at its opponent lying on the ground not far away.

Its opponent’s figure was blurry in its vision.

The Explosive Firehawk exerted all its strength, circulating the energy within its body.

A burning fireball appeared beside Thunderhawk.

“Boom!”

However, a yellow arc of electricity struck the Explosive Firehawk’s head first.

“Explode…”

The burning fireball dissipated, and the Explosive Firehawk closed its eyes unwillingly.

Amidst the intense gaze of everyone, Tingbao, with faint arcs of electricity, struggled to its feet.

Thorfinn’s face turned deathly pale.

Even though it was just a match between King-level pets about to end, the entire arena fell into an inexplicable silence.

“The Thunder Dragon has activated Thunder Resonance! It has recovered and is the first to focus its attack on the Explosive Firebird!” On the host’s platform, Tao Jia exclaimed excitedly, “Is Qiao Sang going to win this match again?!”

“If that’s the case, we have to admit that Qiao Sang’s luck is truly amazing,” Chen Zhuo remarked. “Pets with Thunder Resonance can connect with the lightning energy generated by heaven and earth, continuously recovering. If there hadn’t been a real thunderstorm, the Thunder Dragon wouldn’t have been able to activate this characteristic.”

“Li Li…”

Li Meng called out, wondering if Qiao Sang was going to win 6-0.

“Ting Ting…”

On the field, Tingbao gradually straightened its body.

Under everyone’s gaze, the mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge approached the Explosive Firebird to examine it.

A short while later, it raised a green flag and waved it in the direction of Josang and Tingbao.

A giant virtual screen appeared in the air, and below Thorfinn’s photo, the image of the Exploding Firehawk changed from color to black and white.

Immediately afterwards, the score was displayed: 0:6.

Then, Thorfinn’s photo disappeared, and Josang and Lu Bao’s photos were enlarged to the center of the screen.

“Let’s congratulate Josang on winning the final victory of this match with a score of 6:0! Successfully advancing to the next round!” On the host’s platform, Tao Jia suddenly stood up, shouting excitedly.

“This is truly an unforgettable match,” Chen Zhuo said with emotion. “This match taught us that success or failure cannot be judged by age, and it also allowed us to witness the strength of the youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in history.”

“Lili,”

Li Meng Guigui nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere was instantly ignited, and the falling rain did nothing to dampen everyone’s passion. Cheers and screams echoed throughout the stadium.

“Josang! Josang!”

“Thunder Dragon! Thunder Dragon!”

“Oh my god! 6:0! It really is 6:0!”

“Josang! Josang!”

“Ahhh! Josang! Josang!”

“Oh my god! So cool! He actually shut out Thorfinn!”

“I’m sure tonight’s trending topics are all about Josang!”

“Thunder Dragon! Thunder Dragon!”

“I feel like Josang might be the chosen one. Seriously, why did it have to happen during Thunder Dragon’s match? And it just so happens that Thunder Dragon has the Thunder Resonance ability. If it didn’t have that ability, this match would definitely be a draw.”

“Powerful lightning skills can potentially trigger real natural lightning. Maybe Josang was planning to bring out real lightning from the start, which is why Thunder Dragon used Thunder Weather from the beginning.”

“Wow, you’re right!”

Amidst screams and cheers, Josang waved her hand and retrieved Tingbao into the Beast Taming Manual.
