Lu Fei snapped back to reality, intending to use the Leng Tou Snake's skill, [Cute], to control the opponent!
Who could refuse a little cutie acting adorable in front of them!
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Fei's expression turned grim…
He discovered the Leng Tou Snake hanging upside down in mid-air, trapped by a whirlwind, unable to descend. Its intelligent eyes were spinning, its expression pained…
"Now! Yin Su Carving, use [Horn Drill]!"
"Yi~~~"
Hearing the command, the Yin Su Carving soared into the sky, its sharp beak hurtling towards the Leng Tou Snake!
Lu Fei cried out, "Leng Tou Snake! Use [Cute]!"
Upon hearing his master's command, the Leng Tou Snake immediately activated its skill, but at this moment, it felt like the world was spinning, unable to pinpoint its target…
A bald, burly man was struck in the heart by the [Cute] skill. He clasped his fists under his chin, shaking his rear end, utterly perverted!
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the Leng Tou Snake was sent flying backward, creating a small crater.
"Lu Fei! Are you looking down on me? Why aren't you fighting back!" Despite his successive hits, Chen Lei felt no joy. He realized the opponent wasn't launching any counterattacks, and even if he won the match under these circumstances, he wouldn't feel any happiness!
"I want to fight back too, you brat. Dare you sit down for a drink of water with me first, and then we can continue fighting in two minutes..." Lu Fei thought furiously.
From the small crater, a miniature figure stumbled out.
As soon as it regained its footing.
It was lifted up again by the "Yin Su Carving" and slammed onto the ground, though this time the impact height was noticeably lower.
As one trouble ended, another began.
The Leng Tou Snake endured several more attacks from the "Yin Su Carving," but they were all moderate. Chen Lei had intentionally instructed the Yin Su Carving to go easy; he didn't want to end the battle so quickly!
He had to admit, the little fellow's resilience was quite impressive, truly a hybrid descendant of Aidasi…
Chen Lei's face contorted with anger, "Lu Fei! Is this your true level! If so, you're not worthy of being my opponent!" Chen Lei was trying to provoke Lu Fei's anger.
After a long while, there was no reaction from the other side.
Chen Lei scanned the surroundings.
He saw Lu Fei staring intently at the battle board…
Chen Lei frowned, his expression filled with confusion.
"Why is he staring at the battle board…" Suddenly, Chen Lei's face changed!
"No, he's looking at the time on the clock!"
"Three minutes! He specifically mentioned this time before the match! Could he be waiting for something? Or does his contracted beast have a skill that can only be released after three minutes?"
The more Chen Lei thought about it, the more uneasy he became!
He gritted his teeth and decided to finish the fight quickly!
The spectators in the stands, whose expressions had shifted from initial anticipation to numbness, never expected this to be a one-sided annihilation.
"The strength gap between contracted beasts is too vast. Lu Fei is destined to lose."
"Yes, contracted beasts with A-grade rarity possess exclusive characteristics. How can common contracted beasts possibly contend with them…"
In an inconspicuous corner of the spectator stands.
A young man wearing goggles on his forehead chuckled carelessly, "This newcomer named Lu Fei is just standing there motionless. Could he be too scared to issue combat commands?"
"Chen Fan, can you be a bit kinder to the juniors? Don't mock people all the time."
Chen Fan smacked his lips and said no more.
Although someone had chided him, many still agreed with Chen Fan's assessment. It was normal for a freshman, lacking much combat experience, to be flustered when facing a powerful opponent.
As the few of them chatted.
Bai Qianqian's clear and cold voice rang out, "Chen Lei is deliberately holding back. Otherwise, Lu Fei would have already lost."
On the beast-taming arena, Chen Lei stopped holding back.
The Yin Su Carving launched a fierce offensive!
"Bang!"
With a deafening impact, the Leng Tou Snake was sent flying backward, creating a large crater in the ground. Against the full power of the Yin Su Carving, the Leng Tou Snake had no ability to resist.
"Drip… drip…"
Finally!
The time on the battle board finally reached three minutes!
At the same moment, a tiny figure staggered out of the crater.
Chen Lei, as if facing a formidable enemy, exclaimed, "Yin Su Carving! Retreat quickly!"
Almost simultaneously, Lu Fei shouted, "Surren—"
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Leng Tou Snake's adorable, cute voice.
The Leng Tou Snake's voice at this moment seemed to carry a hint of defiance and anger!
Lu Fei blinked in surprise.
He looked at the Leng Tou Snake with a hint of astonishment. The Leng Tou Snake's usually blank, cute face was now etched with a trace of anger, and its body had turned a deeper red, as if it could bleed.
"The Leng Tou Snake says, the world has not fallen! We will not surrender! Death before surrender!" Brother Ji translated in real-time.
Lu Fei's lips twitched, and he spat out a few words through gritted teeth. "Did you say that, or did the Leng Tou Snake say it…"
Brother Ji looked embarrassed, "There was some artistic embellishment involved…"
Lu Fei gave the unscrupulous chicken a side-eye. Looking at the Leng Tou Snake, which refused to retreat and waited for his combat command, his expression grew more solemn.
Youngsters are unaware of the strength disparity! Lu Fei muttered to himself.
The surprise was followed by a headache.
"The Leng Tou Snake's skills are only [Cute] and [Backhand Strike]. But now, [Cute] is impossible to hit, and [Backhand Strike] will definitely be dodged. According to conventional tactics, it cannot defeat the opponent…" Lu Fei analyzed the situation.
He empathized with the Leng Tou Snake's feelings, but the strength gap was simply too great. Given Lu Fei's personality, he would never force himself when it was time to back down…
But the Leng Tou Snake was different; it was fearless in the face of death and ready to fight!
"In battles between Beastmasters, it's not common for one party's contracted beast to be killed. Since the Leng Tou Snake wants to continue fighting, I'll find a way to minimize its injuries as much as possible…" Lu Fei secretly made a plan.
At the same time.
Chen Lei's next wave of attacks arrived!
"Yin Su Carving! Use [Whirlwind] again!"
The Yin Su Carving flapped its wings, and a vortex of wind swept towards the Leng Tou Snake once more!
Lu Fei spoke instinctively!
"Leng Tou Snake! Dodge!"
The Leng Tou Snake, being small and very agile, dodged the [Whirlwind] attack with a few rolls!
Lu Fei's eyes lit up.
"Right… during a battle, not only can skills be used, but other combat commands can also be issued!"
Lu Fei was completely clueless about beast-taming. His previous victories were all muddled, and he had essentially been a tool throughout.
But at this moment, he felt a sudden clarity, as if he had glimpsed the path forward.
Some spectators who wished for Lu Fei's victory saw the Leng Tou Snake dodge an attack and felt a glimmer of hope, their eyes brightening in unison!
"Lu Fei is going to counterattack!"
"Lu Fei! Go for it!!!"
Cheers erupted from the spectator stands.
Is he finally going to counterattack… Chen Lei's expression turned grim.
"Yin Su Carving! Use [Wing Slash]!"
[Wing Slash]! A mid-level contracted beast skill, which, once it hits the opponent, deals an additional 30% damage!
Seeing the Yin Su Carving approaching, the Leng Tou Snake remained in its position!
This was because Lu Fei had not yet issued a combat command!
"I don't care anymore! Let's give it a try!" Lu Fei gritted his teeth.
"Leng Tou Snake! Call me Daddy!"
Lu Fei roared.
