Chapter 480: Truly Thick-Skinned

Hearing their own Beast Tamer's words, Like Ya Bao and Lei Jilong tilted their heads and opened their mouths almost simultaneously.

Two energy balls containing terrifying power were launched toward the high sky one after another.

Visually, the red one was more than three times larger than the golden one.

Soon, the two energy balls exploded in the high sky like fireworks.

The next second, fire rain fell like a torrential downpour, and the massive, terrifying flames quickly ignited the entire arena.

Against the night sky, the firelight was dazzling and shocking.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The terrifying flames fell continuously, and the dozen or so meteorites mixed within were like embellishments.

If they hadn't known from the beginning that Lei Jilong had unleashed Meteor Shower, the audience would have almost been blinded by the gorgeous and dazzling flames, nearly failing to realize the existence of the meteorites.

The red flames burned fiercely, poison liquid splashed and evaporated on the ground, and combined with the loud noise of meteorites hitting the ground, it gave people an unprecedented visual impact.

Pairs of eyes stared blankly at the red expanse on the field, as if looking at another world.

The vast majority of those present were students, and their understanding of power basically came from the internet and textbooks.

Meteor Shower and Fire Meteor Shower were not skills that no one had compared before; everyone almost subconsciously thought that the Dragon-type pet beast's skill was more powerful, but they all forgot that depending on the proficiency, the power produced by the skills would also be vastly different.

Clearly, many people had seen live versions of Meteor Shower and Fire Meteor Shower separately before, but this was the first time everyone clearly realized the vast gap between the two when placed together...

……

The arena vibrated.

Firelight raged.

In mid-air, Lei Jilong was like a high-speed fighter jet, moving rapidly through the flames to dodge.

Like Ya Bao also moved to dodge, but compared to Lei Jilong, it only had to dodge the few meteorites, which was simply too easy.

Something is wrong... Qiao Sang looked at Lei Jilong's figure, her brows locked tight.

Lei Jilong had strong defense and it was true that it had a certain resistance to Fire-type skills, but being able to move within Fire Meteor Shower of this intensity was simply too abnormal.

Qiao Sang tried her best to keep her gaze on Lei Jilong's figure, attempting to see more clearly.

Soon, she discovered that the flames were indeed causing damage to Lei Jilong, but the damage was being hard-resisted, and it didn't seem sufficient to form a fatal wound.

This is too wrong; is Lei Jilong's defense this outrageous?

Even Fire Meteor Shower at the profound truth level plus Moonlight Power couldn't one-shot it?

"This Lei Jilong has the Marvel Scale trait." In the contestant area, Liu Yao said in a deep voice.

Marvel Scale: when in an abnormal state, Marvel Scale reacts, and defense increases.

"We hadn't received a single bit of news about this before." Sun Boyi frowned.

"Lei Jilong's defense is high to begin with. If it weren't for the fact that Liaoxingquan's Fire Meteor Shower was too powerful this time, causing it to directly enter a burn state, I'm afraid no one would have known about this trait even after the entire national competition ended," Liu Yao said.

Sun Boyi sighed: "A pet beast like Lei Jilong shouldn't appear in a high school competition at all."

Liu Yao asked: "Do you think a pet beast like Liaoxingquan should appear in a high school student competition?"

Sun Boyi was stunned for a moment, focused his gaze on the red and white figure in mid-air, and shook his head: "Let alone high school, even in university competitions at top-tier institutions, you might not see such a pet beast."

"Yeah." Liu Yao smiled: "So change your perspective. Lei Jilong was contracted by Zhao Chuanyu halfway, but Liaoxingquan was cultivated by Qiao Sang step by step. Who is more powerful is clear at a glance."

"Believe in Qiao Sang; she will win."

……

On the field.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, stopped overthinking, and decided decisively:

"Go!"

Although she didn't know the reason why Lei Jilong was able to withstand Fire Meteor Shower, one thing was certain: Lei Jilong would still be injured, and after using Meteor Shower, its Special Attack would decrease. Now was the best time to launch an attack!

"Ya!"

Hearing her Beast Tamer's words, Like Ya Bao cried out excitedly, locked its gaze on Lei Jilong, and while dodging meteorites, it quickly transformed into a streak of fire and rushed madly toward Lei Jilong.

Lei Jilong flew sideways to dodge.

At the very moment it was about to dodge, Like Ya Bao split into two; another Liaoxingquan, looking exactly like Like Ya Bao, appeared abruptly above Lei Jilong's head, stretched out its sharp claws condensed with flames, and swiped downward.

"Chi chi!"

This time, Lei Jilong cried out in pain and flew backward downward, stabilizing its figure when it was only about two meters from the ground.

The situation is not good... Zhao Chuanyu's heart sank.

Liaoxingquan, bolstered by Moonlight Power, unleashed a Fire Meteor Shower far more powerful than he had imagined.

Although Lei Jilong knew many high-tier skills, its proficiency in them wasn't high.

Originally, he didn't feel the power was weak, but compared to this Fire Meteor Shower, the gap was too obvious.

Now Lei Jilong's Special Attack was reduced, Marvel Scale had a time limit, and it still had to continue enduring the attacks of Fire Meteor Shower; now was not a good time for a head-on clash.

Must avoid battle first...

Thinking of this, Zhao Chuanyu wanted to open his mouth to issue an order to avoid battle, but before the words could leave his mouth, Like Ya Bao and Lei Jilong in mid-air were already clashing head-on again.

In mid-air, the two figures moved in an interlaced pattern.

Lei Jilong's body was covered in wounds caused by Fire Meteor Shower.

After dodging several waves of Like Ya Bao's attacks, it could no longer endure and swung its sturdy tail to attack Like Ya Bao, who was approaching.

"Like Ya Bao" was split directly in two and vanished.

Lei Jilong realized it had been tricked by a clone and flapped its wings, wanting to leave the spot quickly, but at this moment, the real Like Ya Bao pounced over fiercely with sharp teeth condensed from flames.

Mottled radiance flickered around it, and the sharp teeth condensed from flames looked even more ferocious than before.

"Chi chi!"

Like Ya Bao bit down on Lei Jilong's body, and Lei Jilong fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

This wasn't enough; Like Ya Bao increased the force of its bite.

Lei Jilong retreated continuously; seeing it was about to exit the designated range of the arena, Lei Jilong's sharp claws sank deeply into the crimson ground, splashing a streak of sparks.

The atmosphere in the audience stands was exceptionally tense at this moment.

The spectators from the Yuhua region were hot-blooded and breathing rapidly.

And the spectators from the Zhongkong region looked tense, their hearts panicked to the extreme.

Just a little bit, just a little bit more and Lei Jilong would have exited the arena range!

……

On the field.

Having clashed to this extent, avoiding battle now would seem too cowardly... The current situation was also an opportunity... Seeing this, Zhao Chuanyu opened his mouth without hesitation:

"Gravity Throw!"

"Chi chi!"

Lei Jilong tilted its head to the sky and cried out, then spread its arms, hugged Like Ya Bao tightly, and then its lower limb muscles tensed, and with a "whoosh," it hugged Like Ya Bao and shot into the sky.

During this time, fire rain was still falling, but Lei Jilong's eyes were blood-red, and it was in an abnormally excited state, as if it couldn't feel pain at all.

Not good! Qiao Sang said loudly:

"Bite hard!"

Like Ya Bao's expression was equally excited; the flames on its sharp teeth expanded fiercely again, and its teeth sank a few more points into Lei Jilong's flesh.

Lei Jilong showed an expression of pain, but its speed didn't decrease at all.

Well done! Zhao Chuanyu's expression was excited.

Lei Jilong had never suffered this degree of injury, and he had always not known that Lei Jilong's willpower and defense could be so strong!

Truly thick-skinned... Qiao Sang couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Gravity Throw, a high-tier Fighting-type skill, uses gravity to throw the opponent away, thereby causing massive damage; it was also the move Lei Jilong used to finally defeat Suantao in Zhao Chuanyu's last battle against Cui Pingkun. ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
