Chapter 207

"Where is it?"

"It should be underground!"

When Xu Wenmao saw Su Yang's plant-type pet vanish beneath the ground, his expression darkened.

No one knew where on the ground that pet would strike him during battle!

But the problem was, Su Yang's actions did not violate the competition rules.

"Are you ready?"

"I'm ready!"

"Good!"

"Then I declare the match begun!"

No sooner had the referee finished speaking than Xu Wenmao ordered: "Azure Cloud Eagle, Lei Yunniao, immediately surround and kill that Storm Eagle!"

The Azure Cloud Eagle and Lei Yunniao had already been prepared—they had been circling the Storm Eagle in midair.

Upon hearing the command, they immediately surged forward, one in front and one behind, toward the Storm Eagle.

Su Yang couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Xu Wenmao's stance, was he trying to engage the Storm Eagle in close combat?

"Storm Eagle, since they want to get close to you, then fight them close-range?"

A piercing eagle screech rang out as the Storm Eagle flapped its wings and shot straight toward the Azure Cloud Eagle.

At that moment, the Azure Cloud Eagle was enveloped in a green wind shield.

Meanwhile, the Storm Eagle revealed its gleaming wings!

In the blink of an eye, the Storm Eagle and Azure Cloud Eagle collided and separated in midair, crimson blood splattering across the sky.

"Who won?"

An audience member looked up at the sky and asked.

No answer was needed—the Azure Cloud Eagle let out a piercing scream and plummeted straight from the sky.

After eliminating the Azure Cloud Eagle, the Storm Eagle twisted in midair and charged toward the Lei Yunniao!

A flash of black light passed, touching the Lei Yunniao then instantly pulling away.

Xu Wenmao's last flying-type pet let out a cry, spinning as it fell…

Two Gold Low-Grade flying-type pets lasted only a few seconds.

In the flying-type pet duel, Xu Wenmao was utterly defeated!

"He lost!"

"That eagle pet is terrifying—what the hell is that thing?"

"It's called Storm Eagle, but its power doesn't seem right!"

"With two flying-type pets lost, Xu Wenmao is in danger!"

"It's exactly the same outcome as Su Yang's previous opponents!"

"..."

At that moment, Xu Wenmao charged toward Su Yang.

Like Su Yang's other opponents, Xu Wenmao had no choice.

If he didn't end the battle quickly now, once the Storm Eagle acted, he'd have no chance!

Beneath the ground, blood-red vines burst forth instantly.

"Flame Bear, burn it!"

The Flame Bear obeyed, opening its mouth and spewing fire onto the blood-red vines—but caused not the slightest damage.

The Flame Bear was instantly bound by over thirty blood-red vines!

Seeing the Hellblood Vine wrap the flaming Flame Bear, the audience gasped:

"What!"

"That plant beast is immune to fire?"

"..."

Hu Kun and He Guangzhu crossed their arms, expressions of "I knew this would happen."

If that plant-type beast were vulnerable to fire, they wouldn't have lost so many men back then!

"Go on!"

"Xu Wenmao, push harder!"

"You have to win!"

"..."

Su Yang stood in place, watching Xu Wenmao charge toward him.

To the audience, Su Yang now looked like a great demon lord.

And Xu Wenmao was the brave warrior trying to slay the demon!

Would a miracle happen?

With a loud "Bang," the entire arena fell silent.

Xu Wenmao's attack—Su Yang didn't dodge at all.

He took it straight on with his body.

His only reply was a single punch.

Just a simple, straightforward punch!

Xu Wenmao was sent flying into the air.

He was blasted flying away!

The referee hurried over to Xu Wenmao and checked his condition.

He let out a soft sigh and said, "Xu Wenmao is unconscious and unable to continue—this match is won by Su Yang!"

Xu Wenmao, whom the Changwu people had placed great hopes on, lost!

The audience made no cheers; they all fell silent.

Some girls burst into tears.

It was as if Su Yang's punch had struck them across the face!

Some outsiders who had come just to watch the spectacle, seeing everyone else silent, felt too embarrassed to cheer.

They could only follow the crowd and stay quiet.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Yet, in the midst of this total silence, someone began to clap!

The clapping was loud!

Many turned to look in the direction the sound came from.

They discovered that the only person clapping was Qin Qin Pengcheng, the General and Governor of Wucheng.

The Changwu people who had wanted to curse swallowed their curses outright.

Qin Qin Pengcheng stood and laughed loudly, "Excellent, excellent—what a thrilling battle! Xu Wenmao gave his all, but Su Yang did even better. His strength is undeniable—he is unquestionably this year's undisputed number one!"

"Xu Wenmao, Ma Hun, Lin Yingjie, Chen Cang…" Qin Qin Pengcheng named off all seven other contestants except Su Yang in one breath, "Though you did not win first place, in my eyes, you have already shown the crowd your exceptional talent as beast tamers and your superior combat discipline—you are all proud sons of the Southwest!"

Several of the top-eight contestants, hearing Qin Qin Pengcheng call out their names, looked deeply moved.

Qin Qin Pengcheng was an idol to many beast tamers of the Southwest!

"Life is long; a momentary victory does not mean eternal victory. I hope that after defeat, you will not be discouraged, but carefully reflect on your gains and losses, strive to grow stronger, and aim to become even better!"

Qin Qin Pengcheng turned his gaze toward Su Yang and said, "Now, let us applaud for this year's greatest prodigy beast tamer of the Southwest—Su Yang. He deserves this title!"

The high-ranking military command behind Qin Qin Pengcheng also stood and clapped.

The Changwu people joined in, and all the spectators began to clap.

In an instant, the applause roared like thunder!
