Chapter 76: Has Your Beast Ever Been Kicked at Light Speed?
Under the live broadcast cameras, the Hell Nether Wolf's appeal was elevated several degrees thanks to the flaming armor covering its body.
This battle skill, which allows a beast to condense its own flames into defensive armor, is called [Armor of the Fiery Sun].
People find it incredible because the threshold for this skill is quite high.
Normally, for a fire-type beast to learn and proficiently use the Armor of the Fiery Sun, it must be at least above the Transcendent Form (First Stage).
The Hell Nether Wolf, however, is only at the Mature Form, still one full stage below the Transcendent Form.
Yet Xiao Xingyu never plays by the rules. His beasts are extraordinary, capable of bridging a huge gap in levels to learn more advanced battle skills.
"Armor of the Fiery Sun is a defensive battle skill for Transcendent Form fire-type beasts."
"This skill is quite challenging, testing the beast's comprehension and the beastmaster's spiritual power reserves."
"The Armor of the Fiery Sun can withstand a large amount of explosive attacks and convert the energy from these attacks into armor energy."
The host quickly explained, trying to educate non-professional viewers so enthusiastically that his words almost caught fire.
Xiao Xingyu swept his bangs aside with a smile, "What are you dazing about? Haven't you noticed anything strange?"
Lin Tianci, Zhou Ye, and Yang Heng were all stunned by the Hell Nether Wolf's Armor of the Fiery Sun, neglecting the danger behind them.
"Damn!"
Yang Heng was the first to react, but it was too late.
Two bolts of lightning struck from behind, piercing through the Fiend-Eyed Blue Wolf and the Sand Burial Red Python.
The crackling sound of electricity was as sharp as firecrackers during the New Year.
The air was filled with the scorched smell of burnt meat.
The Ninja Shadow Ape, being a space-type beast, evaded the third lightning strike with its teleportation.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the Ninja Shadow Ape was struck head-on by the Bone-Winged Bat Beast.
Teleportation isn't undefeatable; if you catch it during a skill gap, you can inflict significant damage.
The Bone-Winged Bat Beast flapped its wings, pushing the Ninja Shadow Ape across the stage with its massive body.
As it slid across the stage, sharp, slender bone spikes grew from the Bone-Winged Bat Beast.
These spikes were as cold and sharp as arrows, continuously piercing the Ninja Shadow Ape's chest, arms, and shoulders.
"Damn, I've been cornered!"
Yang Heng clenched his fists, his knuckles white, his face much darker compared to the confidence he had at the start of the match.
Because of the numerous bone spikes piercing its body, the Ninja Shadow Ape couldn't use its space movement skills and could only be dragged across the ground by the Bone-Winged Bat Beast.
"The situation is getting tense!"
"The Ninja Shadow Ape is in danger, getting closer to the edge of the stage!"
The Bone-Winged Bat Beast's strength was terrifying, one of the features of an undead beast.
With immense power, it dragged the Ninja Shadow Ape to the corner of the stage.
Just under ten centimeters more, and the Ninja Shadow Ape would fall off the stage.
Once it falls into the boiling lake water, it means defeat.
Yang Heng had no choice but to summon his second beast.
"Agu, glide to the left!"
Murong Xinxin commanded.
The Bone-Winged Bat Beast released the battered Ninja Shadow Ape, gliding to the left.
This evasive maneuver dodged a giant fist just in time.
A strange beast appeared on the stage.
This beast was a giant made of stacked stones, complete with a nose and eyes, standing over ten meters tall.
Grass even grew in its nostrils and armpits.
The Rock Giant, Yang Heng's second beast.
At the Mature Form (Third Stage), it mastered the power of rocks, boasting defense far superior to other types of beasts, and could freely change its form.
The appearance of the Rock Giant saved the Ninja Shadow Ape from nearly falling into the lake.
Sweat beaded on Yang Heng's face as he realized one thing: on this stage, the first to summon a second beast has already lost half the battle.
In team battles, the number of beasts isn't limited; each contestant can deploy two beasts.
But historically, whichever side is forced to summon a second beast first is usually not far from losing the match.
"Giant Fist of Power!"
Yang Heng shouted.
The Rock Giant raised its massive right arm, swinging a ten-ton fist directly at the Hell Nether Wolf.
The fist traversed the entire stage with devastating force, shaking the earth and boiling the lake.
A holy light blinded everyone, and it took a while for the live broadcast camera to return to normal.
The Rock Giant's fist was stopped by a wall of light, unable to move an inch forward.
In mid-air, a silver-armored angel with wings hovered.
Its holy wings gently flapped, scattering light particles that fluttered like fireflies in the wind.
The host shouted excitedly.
"Xiao Xingyu has summoned a second beast!"
"This is a rare sight, a Holy Light + Angel-type beast, the Holy Light Angel Beast!"
This was the first time Xiao Xingyu had shown his Holy Light Angel Beast in public.
The light wall released by the Holy Light Angel Beast blocked the Rock Giant's fist, protecting the Hell Nether Wolf behind it.
The Hell Nether Wolf let out a whine, as if complaining.
Xiao Xingyu comforted, "Black Edge, I know you're strong enough not to need help, but I have to let Freya stretch her wings."
Beasts must experience the baptism of battle to accelerate their growth.
Xiao Xingyu summoned the Holy Light Angel Beast not to aid the Hell Nether Wolf but to train it and let the Holy Light Angel Beast gain experience.
The host glanced at the backstage data and gasped.
"Viewers, this is unbelievable."
"The Holy Light Angel Beast hasn't even reached the Mature Form yet, and its level is only Initial Form (Third Stage)!"
The Rock Giant, at the Mature Form (Third Stage).
Despite the level difference, the Holy Light Angel Beast blocked the Rock Giant's heavy punch.
This is the Holy Light Angel Beast's innate ability—Holy Light Protection.
The Holy Light Angel Beast constantly refreshes its shield value, with defense stronger than some tank-type beasts.
At this moment, the stage simultaneously hosted both an angel and a demon.
Su Ruyan couldn't remain calm, her heart surging.
"This kid is so much like that man..."
With the Rock Giant present, the Ninja Shadow Ape caught a breather and regained some stamina.
Yang Heng forced himself to stay calm, channeling his spiritual power.
"Viewers, the Ninja Shadow Ape is launching another sneak attack, and its teleportation speed is dizzying!"
On the stage, a shadow moved frantically around the Holy Light Angel Beast.
The Ninja Shadow Ape's manipulation of space power made it difficult for human eyes to track its movement.
Xiao Xingyu was unfazed, suddenly looking at Yang Heng with a friendly smile.
"Yang Heng, has your beast ever been kicked at light speed?"
"What did you say?"
Yang Heng was puzzled, not understanding Xiao Xingyu's words or realizing the impending danger.
