Chapter 402

Although the probability was slim, he still had to try his luck.

After recovering their stamina, the group pressed on and arrived at the third underground floor.

A steel-forged arena, with a Copperajah guarding the great door opposite.

Bai Jing raised an eyebrow at Long Yangyun. "Brother-in-law, you can't steal this one from me this time, right?"

"Be my guest!"

There were only two Dragon-types with Steel typing — one was Alolan Steel Dragon, which he really didn't have.

The other was Dialga, which he was even less likely to have.

Speaking of which, Steel-type Dragons were indeed very powerful, able to compensate for the Dragon clan's weakness, since Steel countered Ice and Fairy.

"Go, Aegislash!"

"Sword Control Art!"

After a fierce battle, Bai Jing pushed his offensive-defensive switching to the extreme, and combined with the eerie nature of the Ghost type, he took Copperajah down with him in a mutual kill.

Yes, because the gap in strength was too great, he could only use that cheap move Destiny Bond, otherwise he really couldn't beat the opponent.

Of course, before the mutual kill, he still held out for a long time, until he had gathered enough energy to open the great door — it was truly a hair-raising ordeal.

"Good work, Aegislash!"

After recalling his spirit, Bai Jing also captured Copperajah, overjoyed.

The main reason was that the guarding spirit had no trainer commanding it; otherwise, challenging across ranks wouldn't be so easy.

"Let's go challenge Registeel."

Still a stone statue, still Unown, still that same revive-this recipe.

Registeel

Divine Rank: Steel Pillar God

Authority: Steel

A headache-inducing double defense — this was going to be a real fight!

"Go, Slaking!"

The miserable Slaking could only drag itself lazily over to face Registeel.

Lazy as it was, it had an absurdly high appearance rate today — practically a model worker. This wasn't its style at all!

No, it had to learn to protest, couldn't be exploited by that white-skinned slavedriver like this.

Just as it was about to rise up in revolt, what it saw was a girl lying on the ground lazily cheering it on.

Forget it, it couldn't lose face in front of its own girl — at least not today!

"What are you dawdling about? Attack!"

Slaking's eyes flashed sharply — and vanished in a blink!

With a clang, Registeel actually withstood Slaking's tremendous force, completely unaffected.

Slaking refused to believe it, trading speed for speed as it flickered around Registeel, fists landing on the opponent without pause.

Clang clang clang rang out unceasingly, the noise buzzing in everyone's heads.

Slaking flashed away to distance itself, its breathing noticeably heavier. In contrast, Registeel was completely unscathed, even raising its arm to fire a Flash Cannon.

Watching Slaking shrink back, at a loss, able only to dodge, Bai Jing's face was full of exasperation.

"Can't even break through its defense — how are we supposed to fight this?"

"Does anyone here have a good idea?"

The crowd exchanged glances, then huddled together to pool their thoughts.

The result of their deliberation was, "We've got no idea either!"

Bai Jing was thunderstruck. "You lot really are something else, damn it!"

"This should be the last hurdle. After all the trouble we've taken to get here, there's no way I'm giving up!"

"And then? We don't want to give up either. Got any good ideas?"

Bai Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Nope, not a single one. Am I the kind of despicable little person who'd interfere with the competition?"

The crowd was speechless — we didn't say you were interfering with the competition… wait, what are you trying to do? Dian.
