Chapter 302: One Against Three (Second update, requesting everything)

Listen, is this reasonable!

Other Demon Pets might not necessarily rank up even after fighting to the death, yet Yuangungun completed its rank-up just to take a nap for a day.

Seeing the ranked-up Yuangungun, Lin Xue was quite close to tears; Yuangungun was already so formidable before ranking up, and now that it had reached the Upper Rank, it meant that the only realm advantage her Anaconda possessed had been largely wiped out. How was she supposed to fight this?

While Yuangungun was ranking up, Lin Xue did not take the opportunity to attack it. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't, because the Exchange Tournament had explicit rules: if a Demon Pet undergoes a rank-up during a match, the other party must cease all actions until the Demon Pet completes its rank-up.

It wasn't just the Academy Exchange Tournament; if you opened the rulebooks for all competitions in the Langya Kingdom, you would find that this rule existed in every format.

Within a few breaths, the radiance slowly receded, revealing Yuangungun's increasingly massive figure.

Yuangungun still looked like a giant round ball of flesh, only its diameter had grown from nearly three meters to over three meters, and its weight had almost doubled; it looked a bit less comical and a bit more majestic.

Yuangungun glared at the Anaconda in front of it with its squinty eyes, looking 'fierce,' but no matter how hard it glared, there was almost no sign of its eyes getting any bigger.

"Anaconda, use Constrict!"

"Yuangungun, Heavy Slap!"

The two voices rang out almost simultaneously. The Anaconda was not slow, quickly rushing in front of Yuangungun, its massive snake body twisting flexibly, looking as if it were about to wrap around Yuangungun.

Yuangungun ignored the Anaconda's move. Accompanied by a sound like the air being torn, Yuangungun's right palm slapped onto the Anaconda first.

Yuangungun's strength was immense. Under the massive force, the Anaconda's snake pupils bulged out, its tongue flicked out slightly, and it let out a painful hiss. Its entire snake body was pressed tightly against the grass, leaving no gap at all.

"Anaconda, get up quickly!"

Under Lin Xue's encouragement, the Anaconda shook its head and managed to crawl up from the ground. Fortunately, it belonged to the thick-skinned type; otherwise, there would have been a real possibility of it being killed in one hit.

As soon as it crawled up, the Anaconda immediately charged at Yuangungun at high speed.

Yuangungun tried to dodge, but it was still a beat too slow and was hit head-on by the Anaconda.

Pop~

Under Lin Xue's surprised gaze, the Anaconda's head sank into Yuangungun's soft, fat belly, only to be bounced right off. Yuangungun did not retreat; instead, it thrust its belly forward with force, actually bouncing the Anaconda away.

Yuangungun's Thick Fat trait could significantly reduce melee damage, and its soft, fat body simply neutralized a large amount of impact force. Combined with its tonnage, this was the reason the Anaconda failed to knock Yuangungun over.

Yuangungun rubbed its belly with its short arms. The spot where the Anaconda had hit it was just a little painful. Thinking that it had been injured, it couldn't help but become extremely filled with anger.

Yuangungun's thought process was naturally very different from other Demon Pets.

Yuangungun's logic was as follows: being injured would make its food taste less delicious and its sleep less sound, reducing its experience of these two great hobbies.

Consequently, the Anaconda was completely doomed.

Just as the Anaconda crawled up, before it could make a move, Yuangungun strode over and grabbed its tail directly.

The Anaconda struggled instinctively, but it couldn't break free no matter what. Just as it wanted to take the opportunity to bind Yuangungun, Yuangungun's fat body began to spin rapidly like an electric motor. Under the massive force, the Anaconda's snake body was involuntarily suspended in the air, rotating along with Yuangungun's spin.

Hiss hiss~

The Anaconda's eyes were filled with panic. It was powerless to stop the process and could only let out terrified hisses.

After spinning rapidly in place for a few turns, Yuangungun's rotation speed reached its limit, and it then let go. The Anaconda flew out involuntarily. It only felt the perimeter wall expanding rapidly, and its head smashed hard against the hard Obsidian Wall.

Boom~

Under the massive force, a small pit was smashed into the Obsidian Wall, and the Anaconda's head was actually embedded in it. The Anaconda's snake body twisted violently, but it could not get its head out of the Obsidian Wall no matter what. Its struggle weakened rapidly, and it looked like it was about to pass out.

At this moment, Yuangungun grabbed the Anaconda's tail again and pulled it out. The Anaconda tilted its head, having already lost its ability to fight.

"Stop, stop!" Seeing that Yuangungun was about to continue abusing the Anaconda, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly intervened.

The Anaconda was Lin Xue's Life-Bound Demon Pet, so the nature of this was different. If Yuangungun continued to attack, the referee on the side would inevitably choose to intervene, and who knew if they would give Yuangungun a hard time in the process.

Yuangungun hurriedly stopped its movements. In terms of obeying orders, it had suffered enough to learn its lesson and did quite well.

Simply put, it was being 'cautious'!

"The Anaconda has lost its ability to fight. Given that all three of Lin Xue's Demon Pets have lost their ability to fight, I announce that Li Zhangsheng is the winner of this match! The loser shall exit, and the winner shall wait at the contestant area!"

At this time, the referee announced the match result in a timely manner.

"Well done, Yuangungun!"

Li Zhangsheng jumped down from the high platform excitedly. Yuangungun rolled over at top speed and caught him with its soft belly.

Just like a top-tier spring mattress, Li Zhangsheng's feet sank right in, then bounced back out. With a stylish flip, Li Zhangsheng landed steadily on Yuangungun's shoulder and began to celebrate.

"I lost!"

Not far away, Lin Xue, who had been easily defeated by Li Zhangsheng in a one-versus-three, would be lying if she said she wasn't sad. But looking at Li Zhangsheng celebrating with Yuangungun on the field, she really couldn't bring herself to hate him.

Lin Xue sighed slightly, lowering her head in dejection, not daring to look at her team leader and teammates.

At the edge of the Grass Field, Vice Principal Xu, who was watching the match from the side, was slightly stunned. Although he knew Li Zhangsheng was strong, he hadn't expected him to easily defeat his opponent in a nearly flawless manner.

"Well done, go rest and build up your strength in the contestant area first!"

After Li Zhangsheng came down, Vice Principal Xu affectionately put an arm around his shoulder, letting out a hearty laugh.

Vice Principal Xu's enthusiasm made Li Zhangsheng feel a bit unaccustomed to it, but he still nodded and went to the contestant area on the side.

Besides him, Zhao Shuyi and Zhang Yi were still fighting on the other two fields.

On the Rock Field, Zhao Shuyi was forcefully suppressing her opponent and was already reaching the end; he believed she would be able to secure victory soon.

On the nearby Ice Field, Zhang Yi and his opponent were locked in a stalemate, with both seemingly having a chance to win.

At this moment, Miao Yinfeng took the initiative to sit in the seat next to Li Zhangsheng and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the junior's strength to be so great. It seems I'll have to add another burden to your shoulders!"

Li Zhangsheng instinctively glanced at the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake coiled around Miao Yinfeng's neck and hurriedly said modestly, "Senior, you flatter me. How could I compare to you!"

Although he was confident he could challenge those of a higher rank, he was referring to ordinary Fourth Rankers, and it was clear that Miao Yinfeng was not among them.
