Chapter 131: Chapter 117 First Victory_2
Other teams may all evolve their four creatures at once, but ours did too.
In terms of “class,” our two teams are pretty much the same.
Nobody knows whether the opponent is hiding their true strength.
“Okay,” Tian Xuechuan nodded.
He didn’t mind; if his junior was stronger, then he deserved to play.
After all, he’d have plenty of opportunities next year.
“Coach, I plan to let Sìxiàng take the field,” Chen Xing said with a smile.
“Oh? Why?”
“Sìxiàng is strong too, a good match for this type of team, and it will throw in some feints and surprises for the opponent,” Chen Xing chuckled.
“Plus, the opposing team has a flying Beast Tamer, and if we don’t send Sìxiàng out, we’d be conceding air superiority,” he added.
If the opponent thinks his trump card is Sìxiàng, they’ll definitely tailor their strategy against it.
Then, at the crucial moment, he could switch out his trump card.
That would be spectacular.
If Taotie was exposed too early, it could easily be targeted. Chen Xing had reviewed his teammates’ Beast Tamers’ attributes, and he knew that to win the championship this year, his two Beast Tamers were key.
After pondering for a moment, Kuang Shiyi nodded. “Okay.”
From his perspective, Chen Xing’s Sìxiàng Shényīng was almost as strong as Wen Jin’s nurturing giant tortoise.
What’s more, it was more attack-oriented. Having one more striker in the team, in addition to the giant tortoise as a tank, was a pretty good combination.
Tian Xuechuan watched his teammates set off with satisfaction, moved a stool next to the water dispenser, took a paper cup, poured some water, and offered it to the coach, “Here, coach, have some water.”
“Xuechuan, I still value you a lot!”
Kuang Shiyi took the cup, speaking earnestly to Tian Xuechuan.
Tian Xuechuan felt a touch of emotion at these words.
In a private setting like this, the coach’s words must be sincere.
Even with a genius junior in the team, the coach’s remarks proved he really valued him!
“Thank you for valuing me, Coach, I’ll try my best!” Tian Xuechuan said, beaming.
Kuang Shiyi nodded, after all, when Chen Xing leaves for his college entrance exam this year, they would still need Xuechuan to take the lead next year.
They arrived at the field.
The opposing students were already standing there.
Eight players took their places, standing apart and facing each other from a distance.
Several of the opposing players obviously froze when they saw Chen Xing.
Having crammed through materia on Azure Dragon Middle School No. 8 overnight, they were aware that Chen Xing was just a first-year substitute on the team.
Today a substitute is playing!?
The four of them felt a mix of insulted rage and a sneaking thrill of delight.
If they were going to look down on us like that, then we would unapologetically take the victory.
With the referee’s command, the match began!
As the summoning array of light lit up, two shadows shot skyward almost simultaneously, flying into the air.
“They have a flying Beast Tamer too?!” the captain of Jishang Middle School was momentarily stunned. Their intelligence didn’t mention anything about a flying Beast Tamer!
Damn, the other side is playing dirty, hiding their strength!
They held it back during the Shu State Cup, just to make a big splash at the High School Cup!
That’s too despicable!
The Jishang Middle School captain had already figured out an answer in his head; one of their strategies relied on the opponent not having a flying Beast Tamer, attempting to conquer the air, but this move by their opponent had caught them off guard.
The two summoned creatures in the sky shot towards the same target like arrows released from their bowstrings.
They seemed to be of one mind.
Both had the same goal—to defeat the other first!
In the in the midst of the sharp wind pressure, Sìxiàng charged at the opponent. Its muscles tensed as it lunged, its claws ruthlessly targeting the creature’s back.
With a loud bang, the opponent was instantly dispersed by Sìxiàng’s tremendous impact, turned into a gust of wind that vanished from the spot, leaving only a few feathers drifting in the air.
The muscles in Sìxiàng’s antennae gently vibrated, sensing the surroundings.
Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning streaked over Sìxiàng’s body. Like a bolt of lightning, it vanished from its spot in a burst of speed, dodging the wind projectile shot at it from behind.
Not far behind the Sìxiàng, a taming beast with a wingspan of over two meters, shaped like a hawk, lost sight of the Sìxiàng.
It was looking around in confusion for its opponent, but the next second, a sudden intense pain erupted in its head.
An iron hoop-like giant claw had already tightly gripped its crown.
The Sìxiàng’s brutal and excited voice came from above, “Little sparrow! I’ve caught you!”
It squatted on the back of its opponent, one claw gripping the other’s head while the other giant claw was raised high, its palm bursting with dazzling lightning.
The savage sound of lightning seemed like a divine punishment from the heavens.
Screech!
The sparrow hawk let out a mournful cry as a long spear pierced its heart.
The nearby referee team’s tamer hurriedly intervened to rescue the sparrow hawk; even though its heart was pierced, as long as it received timely healing, it could still be saved. For a Healing Element Tamer, this level of injury was actually easier to treat than healing a body completely charred by electricity.
With a flash of lightning, the Sìxiàng disappeared from the spot again.
“Not good, back up!” the captain of the Ji Shang High School team quickly said.
But it was a step too late.
The lightning converged in the void, and about twenty meters above a steel horned pig’s head, the Sìxiàng raised its Lei Ting long spear.
Whoosh—
“Ow!”
The steel horned pig, with an Energy Level of 39, let out a pained howl as its legs were weakened by the electric shock.
Embedded in its back was a long spear glinting with purple lightning, which was slowly dissipating…
Across from it, the nurtured tree giant turtle, which had just been wrestling with it, took advantage of the situation to beat the downed dog.
A heavy armored stomp came crashing down ruthlessly.
The steel horned pig was directly stamped into the sandpit, motionless.
In the blink of an eye, less than half a minute after the match began, Ji Shang High School’s team was down to only two taming beasts.
This swift scene not only stunned the opposing players, but the audience at the sidelines also widened their eyes.
This is a blowout game, isn’t it?
Some spectators even started to look up the Azure Dragon Eighth Middle School team’s name on the spot.
I’ve never heard of this team before.
After discovering this was a team that had barely made a name in the past, they were even more amazed to consider this year’s dark horse.
In the spectator seats, a short-haired girl said to her best friend, “Wow, this team is really amazing.”
Her friend was tempted to disagree, but seeing the overwhelmingly one-sided situation on the field, she couldn’t find the words to argue against it.
“They are impressive, but they still fall short of Yun Long High School’s team,” she conceded.
The short-haired girl laughed, “You don’t understand, I just like to follow these underrated teams. If they end up winning the championship, I’ll be one of the original fans! I just checked, Azure Dragon Eighth Middle School wasn’t even in the top hundred schools before. I bet they’ll make it into the top hundred this time, maybe even higher.”
Backstage, Kuang Shiyi watched the clear situation on the field with a satisfied smile, “It’s over.”
Unless there was a taming beast of the same level to restrain it, this Sìxiàng Shényīng was utterly “bullying” those with lower Energy Levels.
This Sìxiàng Shényīng was somewhat overmodeled. Whether it was speed, reaction, or the power of unleashed skills, in Kuang Shiyi’s view, its strength was almost on par with a twice-evolved ordinary tamer beast.
Some monsters with strong Racial Bloodlines can achieve this effect.
They are naturally born with higher Energy Level Limits than average monsters, and even within the same Energy Level, they possess greater strength.
For example, Dragon-type Monsters or certain monsters related to powerful bloodlines are capable of this.
By the water cooler, Tian Xuechuan also excitedly clenched his fist, “Awesome!”
The feeling of an easy win was indeed ecstatic!
The battle eventually ended in one minute and thirty-six seconds.
Inside the Ji Shang High School team, four faces turned pale.
Their four taming beasts had an average Energy Level of 39. They had always been the ace team in their city and had never lost so badly even in provincial competitions.
“I think I see the shadow of Shu State Starting Point in them,” one of the team members said.
“They shouldn’t be as good as Starting Point, though. All four members of Starting Point have a strong presence of pressure, but only that six-winged eagle on the other side gives me that kind of pressure,” the captain of Ji Shang High School shook his head.
As he left, he turned back to take a deep look at the four figures on the opposite command platform.
…
A spectator who had just returned from the restroom jogged back to his seat, looking at the empty field, scratched his head, “I thought the match was about to begin, how come they haven’t taken the field yet?”
“Buddy, the match is already over,” a chubby guy eating chips in the front row turned around.
