Chapter 242 – An eye for an eye


“Boom!!”

A powerful fist slammed onto the arena, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As expected of the arena built by Vermilion Bird Academy, even when faced with such a heavy punch from the Thunder Bear, not a single crack appeared.

Aside from stirring up dust, nothing else happened.

At the same time, after delivering the punch, thunder rolled across the Thunder Bear’s body.

Arcs of purple lightning enveloped its entire body.

Soon after, a purple armor appeared on the Thunder Bear, encasing its entire form.

Bright flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across the purple armor.

The Thunder Armor not only provided formidable defense but also inflicted damage if the opponent touched it.

“Hiss~! That power is terrifying!”

“Isn’t it? The Thunder Bear is a pure strength-type Spiritual Pet, and with the destructive power of thunder added, the force of that punch is unimaginable.”

“I just wonder if Ye Ling’s beautiful Spiritual Pet can withstand it?”

“For some reason, watching Ye Ling’s Spiritual Pet fight the Thunder Bear gives me a strange feeling.”

“Does it feel like you’re the one getting beaten up? Don’t overthink it, you’re not that pretty.”

The girls in the stands kept up their chatter without pause.

On the arena, after the Thunder Bear’s attack missed, Blood Phantom quickly seized its arm and exerted force in an instant.

The massive Thunder Bear, unable to react in time, was thrown over Blood Phantom’s shoulder and slammed heavily onto the arena.

“Boom!!”

The heavy body crashed onto the arena with a loud bang, sending dust flying.

Even though it was thrown and slammed onto the arena, Wu Xuan had already instructed the Thunder Bear to activate its Thunder Armor in advance. With such strong defense, the Thunder Bear was hardly affected by the fall.

On the contrary, Blood Phantom’s hands were burned by the lightning elements attached to the Thunder Armor when she grabbed the Thunder Bear’s arm.

Her originally fair hands showed some scorch marks, even with her Magic Damage Reduction (Intermediate).

Without it, the injuries would have been more severe.

Of course, such injuries had no effect on Blood Phantom.

In just an instant, with her Super Regeneration, the scorch marks on Blood Phantom’s hands disappeared.

“Roar!!”

The Thunder Bear flipped over and stood up, charging at Blood Phantom once more.

It was single-minded; Blood Phantom had managed to throw it, and it was determined to regain its dignity, or it would be too embarrassing.

The two Spiritual Pets, one large and one small, re-engaged in fierce combat.

Ye Ling wasn’t worried at all about whether Blood Phantom would lose.

Blood Phantom didn’t have stamina limitations. No matter how good the Thunder Bear’s stamina was, it paled in comparison to Blood Phantom’s.

Even if Blood Phantom couldn’t take down the Thunder Bear directly, she could outlast it.

On the other hand, Wu Xuan had been frowning deeply since the battle began.

This was completely different from what she had anticipated. Ye Ling wasn’t defeated as quickly as she had imagined.

Although it seemed like her Thunder Bear and Ye Ling’s Spiritual Pet were evenly matched for the moment, this wasn’t what Wu Xuan wanted.

She initially planned to quickly defeat Ye Ling, but the outcome was the complete opposite.

This sudden change made Wu Xuan’s expression turn serious, and she began to take Ye Ling seriously.

As expected, Ye Ling, who was specially recruited by the Academy and skipped grades right at the start, undoubtedly possessed impressive strength.

Wu Xuan had to admit that she had underestimated Ye Ling.

But now that the challenge had begun, there was no stopping it; the only option was to continue fighting.

Moreover, she wasn’t at any disadvantage; she just hadn’t expected Ye Ling to be this strong, but it wasn’t enough to make Wu Xuan feel she would lose.

Besides, she had another Spiritual Pet, the Phantom Lizard.

Although not as strong as the Thunder Bear, if used well, the Phantom Lizard could be a deadly weapon.

Capable of hiding its presence and becoming invisible, such a Spiritual Pet was a perfect assassin.

But now, facing a student who had just skipped to the second year, using a second Spiritual Pet felt a bit humiliating to Wu Xuan.

After all, she was the third seat of the second year, and her opponent hadn’t even used a second Spiritual Pet yet. Using hers first would make her seem inferior.

The battle on the arena continued fiercely. After prolonged combat, the Thunder Bear’s attack speed noticeably slowed.

High-intensity attacks and maintaining the Thunder Armor were too much for even the Thunder Bear’s stamina.

But Blood Phantom was entirely different. Without stamina limitations, her attacks remained swift, showing no signs of slowing.

In fact, due to the Thunder Bear’s reduced attack speed, Blood Phantom had to dodge less, making her attacks even faster.

With one increasing and the other decreasing, the spectators felt that Ye Ling’s Spiritual Pet had completely suppressed Wu Xuan’s Thunder Bear.
