Li Ze was very relaxed. With a casual swipe of his right hand, a light gate appeared, followed by a tiger covered in flames.
'It's a Flame Spirit Tiger!'
"This is a beast with a sixth-level bloodline! However, it is currently in its growth stage, roughly at the lower fourth level. It seems that Li Ze is already a three-star beast tamer! What a promising young talent!" the host on the competition field shouted enthusiastically.
Generally, beast tamers can only summon beasts one rank higher than themselves; otherwise, they won't be able to control them, leading to a rampage.
Feng Ruotong's expression darkened. She was contemplating whether to send out her Snow Woman Beast or her stronger beast, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
'Student? Why aren't you summoning?' the referee prompted.
Feng Ruotong snapped out of her thoughts and decided to give it a try, wanting to see the other person's training methods. After all, the Orange Shadow Cat's power had left a deep impression on her.
Feng Ruotong swiped her right hand, and a purple-haired little fairy flew out from a light gate.
"Wow! It's already reached the grown-up stage? Ruotong, you're amazing!" Zhang Tiantian was stunned. She had only seen the Snow Woman Beast in its juvenile form a few days ago, and now it had suddenly evolved.
Li Ze was slightly surprised and couldn't help but marvel at the Snow Woman Beast's exceptional quality.
However, he only marveled briefly, as the Snow Woman Beast was only a third-tier beast and posed no threat. He immediately commanded the Flame Spirit Tiger to attack the Snow Woman Beast!
'Roar!'
A tiger's roar echoed throughout the arena!
This was the genuine tiger roar skill, with immense intimidating power. Many students felt dizzy.
Feng Ruotong furrowed her brows. This was far more powerful than the tiger roar emitted by the Orange Shadow Cat, and it had a strong intimidating effect on lower-tier beasts. Her heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily.
Just as she was about to command her Snow Woman Beast, it gracefully flew into the sky and began singing a beautiful song.
"It's the Sleepy Dream Melody!"
"A high-tier Ghost-type skill that can significantly weaken the opponent's combat power! What a powerful Snow Woman Beast!" the host shouted.
At the same time, the audience below erupted in a chorus of gasps!
Feng Ruotong was stunned.
She looked up to see sound waves flying toward the Yanling Tiger.
After being attacked by the Sleepy Demon's Voice, the flames on the Yanling Tiger gradually died down, and its combat power was clearly reduced by half.
'When did it learn this skill... Was it him?' Feng Ruotong was stunned.
Li Ze, standing beside her, was also shocked, furrowing his brows. Was this Snow Woman Beast so bold? A tiger's roar hadn't scared it away, yet their side had lost half its combat power.
'Damn it! Take it down!' Li Ze transmitted the command in his mind.
Yan Linghu shook its head violently, glaring at the Snow Woman Beast with a ferocious expression. It sensed that this little spirit was threatening it.
With a roar, the flames on Yan Linghu's body reignited, and a massive flame vortex erupted from its mouth.
'Whoosh!' It swept toward the Snow Woman Beast.
"Hmph! This is a high-tier fire-based attack skill. Let's see how you win now." Li Ze smiled again.
The temperature in the arena rose sharply. Feng Ruotong looked at the swirling flames and felt a sense of despair.
But at that moment, the Snow Woman Beast emitted an extremely cold aura, forming a protective barrier around itself and its master. Its speed became abnormally fast, and its right hand gathered the cold air, rushing towards the Flame Spirit Tiger at an incredible speed.
So fast!
Everyone only saw a pale blue light sphere flying towards it.
'Boom!'
The flame vortex dissipated, and the Flame Spirit Tiger's body froze, losing its combat ability.
The Snow Woman Beast won this round!
The entire venue fell silent, followed by thunderous applause.
'Ice Domain combined with Zero Degree Fist!'
'Not only is the beast extremely powerful, but the beast tamer's command is also perfect!'
'A third-tier beast defeating a fourth-tier one—Feng Ruotong did an amazing job!' The host, having witnessed the previous sequence of events, couldn't help but exclaim.
'How is that possible? A mere third-tier Snow Woman Beast could so easily defeat my Flame Spirit Beast...' Li Ze's eyes dimmed, clearly deeply shaken.
Feng Ruotong was even more stunned. She hadn't done much, so how did she win?
She couldn't understand her Snow Woman Beast anymore.
But Li Ze didn't give up. He suddenly realised it might be an attribute suppression issue, so he immediately sent out his second beast, the Rock-type Giant Rock Snake.
"Hmph! It's just attribute suppression. Let's see how you defeat my fourth-tier mature Giant Rock Snake!"
A Giant Rock Snake tens of metres long appeared from the light gate.
"Oh, Li Ze has deployed his second beast, a mature Giant Rock Snake. Judging by its length, it's been well-trained!" the host exclaimed.
Feng Ruotong had also regained her composure by now. She wanted to see just how far her Snow Woman Beast had evolved.
"Good! Snow Woman Beast, use your icy breath!" " Feng Ruotong looked lively as she began to command the Snow Woman Beast.
The Snow Woman Beast slowly spun in the air once, then expelled a ball of light blue aura from its mouth, enveloping the Giant Rock Snake.
The icy aura could reduce the enemy's movement speed, but it had almost no effect on rock-type creatures. The Giant Rock Snake merely shook its body and easily broke free.
Li Ze became much more vigilant at this point and immediately activated his Beast Tamer skills: Speed Boost, Strength Boost, and Defence Boost.
Activating all three attributes simultaneously was already Li Ze's current limit.
The enhanced Giant Rock Snake appeared even more massive, its tail like a blade, wildly slashing at the Snow Woman Beast.
Feng Ruotong was not to be outdone. She was also a three-star beast tamer and used the same three enhancements on the Snow Woman Beast.
Her purple hair grew another inch, her eyes turned pale purple, and the beautiful song sounded again.
'Do you think you can use the same move twice? You're too naive.'
'Giant Rock Snake, use Rock Squeeze!' Li Ze transmitted the command in his mind.
The Giant Rock Snake plunged its tail into the ground, its eyes glowing red. Two massive boulders appeared out of thin air, crushing the Snow Woman Beast. With a single exertion of force, the Snow Woman Beast would die instantly.
'You've lost. I don't want to harm your Snow Woman Beast.' Li Ze sighed, finally regaining a shred of dignity.
Feng Ruotong did not admit defeat but immediately began thinking of a way to counter this move...
At that moment, the Snow Woman Beast underwent a shocking transformation.
A block of ice enveloped it, and a pale blue glow gradually spread out.
The Snow Woman Beast had transformed from the appearance of a small fairy into that of a young girl, staring expressionlessly at the Giant Rock Snake.
'Could that be the Ice Blessing? My goodness!' a boy below shouted.
'Does your Class 3 have such a powerful contestant? It's truly a hidden gem!' a middle-aged man in the guest seats remarked.
'This, this, this... The legendary Ice Blessing has reappeared!'
'It greatly amplifies one's own strength, temporarily transforming into the strongest form—an ice-type legendary-tier skill!' the host shouted excitedly.
Feng Ruotong looked at the Snow Woman Beast before her, both excited and afraid.
What she feared was that the outer city was hiding such a powerful breeder. If the academy found out, what kind of situation would arise?
At that moment, the Snow Woman Beast pushed off with both hands, and two massive boulders suddenly shattered.
A flash of light appeared, instantly reaching the top of the Giant Rock Snake's head. Looking at the head that was countless times larger than her own, she gently swung her fist down.
Crack, crack. The giant rock snake's eyes went blank, its head split open, and it crashed heavily onto the ground.
Clearly, at the critical moment, Feng Ruotong issued an order for the Snow Woman Beast to stop.
The entire crowd was stunned!
Li Ze had lost two consecutive matches!
And he had no chance to fight back at all—he was instantly defeated!
