Chapter 317: Golden Dragon Bat (Second Update, requesting everything)

Thinking about having to face four powerful opponents, the newly promoted Fourth Rank student from Yecheng Academy felt a massive headache.

After defeating Huang Shihong, Senior Miao Yinfeng did not have much time to rest; there was simply no time to clean the wounds of the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake, and under the referee's instruction, he had to enter the arena again.

As soon as the match began, Senior Miao Yinfeng could only send out the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake again, while the opponent specifically dispatched a Wind Element Golden Dragon Bat.

The Golden Dragon Bat looked like a giant bat with a wingspan of three to four meters; its entire body was golden, and its shimmering appearance made it look a little less ferocious. Under its broad golden wings were golden claws, and its upper and lower jaws each had two sharp teeth that were six or seven centimeters long.

Even in pitch-black darkness, the Golden Dragon Bat could use sound waves to precisely locate the position of its prey.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Golden Dragon Bat (Mature Stage, Elite Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Species】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Golden Dragon (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Thunder

Elite Exotic Beasts can successfully become Elite rank as long as they reach adulthood.

It is a pity that this is only a Mid-grade Golden Dragon Bat; although it suppresses the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake in terms of attributes, given the huge gap in realm, quality, and species, even with the attribute advantage, it would likely be easily defeated by the opponent.

As expected, under the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake's fierce attack, the Golden Dragon Bat was left struggling, only able to barely maneuver using its speed, with almost no power to fight back.

However, the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake's speed was not slow at all; in just two or three moves, the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake successfully knocked the Golden Dragon Bat down, its massive snake body pinning the Golden Dragon Bat.

The Golden Dragon Bat's strength was not very high and it could not push the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake away at all; it was like a two or three-hundred-catty strong man pinning down a weak girl who had no power to truss a chicken.

How could the Golden Dragon Bat, unable to fly, continue to maneuver against the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake? It had simply become a living target.

The Green-Eyed Emperor Snake opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down on the neck of the Golden Dragon Bat.

The Golden Dragon Bat was the blood-bound Demon Pet of the newly promoted Fourth Rank student from Yecheng Academy; the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake—no, Senior Miao Yinfeng's intention was very simple, and that was to kill the Golden Dragon Bat.

This time, in order to become one of the Four Great Academies, Yecheng Academy could be said to have gone all-in, disregarding any losses or consequences; if they were blocked by Yuanling Academy, then the two sides could be considered to have formed a feud.

Hum~

Blood splattered, and the Golden Dragon Bat let out a sharp, miserable shriek; it struggled frantically, but could not push the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake away no matter what.

Just as the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake wanted to tear at the wound, suddenly, the Golden Dragon Bat turned into a stream of light and instantly surged into the Monster Tamer's forehead acupoint.

After successfully recalling the Golden Dragon Bat, the Fourth Rank student from Yecheng Academy clearly breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he thought about having only one Demon Pet slot left, his expression turned ugly again.

Unless his last Demon Pet was extremely powerful, there was simply no hope of a comeback.

The Principal of Yecheng Academy's chest heaved violently; with the match reaching this point, his anxiety had reached its limit.

At this moment, the Fourth Rank student from Yecheng Academy summoned his last Demon Pet, which was also his Life-Bound Demon Pet.

This time it was a Superior Quality Hard-Shelled Earth Dragon, still an Elite 9th Rank Demon Pet; its strength was slightly stronger than the Golden Dragon Bat, but compared to the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake, it still paled in comparison.

The Fourth Rank student from Yecheng Academy activated three different Secret Techniques in one breath, continuously strengthening the Hard-Shelled Earth Dragon's various capabilities.

Senior Miao Yinfeng was not idle either; he cast an Advanced Secret Technique called Strike Through the Mountain on the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake. This Secret Technique could allow the Green-Eyed Emperor Snake to ignore fifty percent of the opponent's defense and directly vibrate the opponent's flesh and internal organs; it was one of the best Secret Techniques for dealing with defensive Demon Pets.

In less than two short minutes, the Hard-Shelled Earth Dragon, which excelled at frontal combat, could no longer hold on and finally collapsed to the ground, never to climb up again.

"The winner of this Group Stage match is—Yuanling Academy, becoming the first in points for Group Four. Let us congratulate Yuanling Academy on successfully advancing to the final four!"

After confirming that the Hard-Shelled Earth Dragon could no longer fight, the head referee announced the final result of the match.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Inside the arena, the fans' enthusiastic cheers erupted; from the start of the Exchange Tournament until now, this match was the most intense one they had ever seen!

"We won!"

"The final four, we're here again!"

"I hope we go a step further than last year and reclaim the honor of Yuanling Academy!"

In the Yuanling Academy rest area, Vice Principal Xu, the Instructors, and the students began to celebrate; some students were even hugging each other in excitement, frantically celebrating this victory.

On the other side, the Principal of Yecheng Academy closed his eyes in pain; he had lost his gamble this time. If there were no surprises, starting from next year, the quality and quantity of Yecheng Academy's student intake would inevitably decline sharply, and the consequences could be imagined.

Yecheng Academy had lost its potential, and whether it could even maintain its place in the top eight of the Exchange Tournament in the future was a question; he had become a sinner of Yecheng Academy.

Most of the Instructors and students of Yecheng Academy hung their heads in dejection, but a few who could not accept the loss stared viciously at the group from Yuanling Academy, especially at Miao Yinfeng. Miao Yinfeng had defeated their only two Fourth Rank students; if it weren't for Miao Yinfeng, they would very likely have obtained the title of one of the Four Great Academies.

Well, Miao Yinfeng bore the brunt of their greatest resentment!

However, to be honest, although Li Zhangsheng performed very well in this match, the greatest contribution still belonged to Senior Miao Yinfeng.

At this time, a eunuch holding something prepared in advance came to the Yuanling Academy rest area.

"Congratulations on advancing to the final four! These are Monster Vouchers; you can use them to enter the Outer Royal Garden and select a High Quality Fairy!"

The eunuch first congratulated Vice Principal Xu, then issued the vouchers on the tray to the 12 starting students.

As for the rewards for advancing to the final four, they would be determined based on the final standing in the top four; the higher the rank, the more generous the reward.

"If there are no surprises, the Outer Royal Garden must be raising wild Spirit Beasts that the Imperial Family members look down upon; perhaps they might even put in a few wild Spirit Beasts with great potential!"

Li Zhangsheng took the Monster Voucher; he felt it was almost impossible for a top-tier quality Spirit Beast to appear in the Outer Royal Garden. After all, the Imperial Family didn't even have enough for themselves, so how could they possibly share them out.

What if the Imperial Family was very generous, or if there were some oversights? Even if the probability was very small, Li Zhangsheng would not let it go; at the very least, there should be Superior Quality Spirit Beasts!

An excellent Superior Quality Spirit Beast would cost at least a thousand Soul Crystals, and if it were a Monarch Species, it could even reach five figures.

Relying on his special ability, he could definitely pick the most excellent Spirit Beast in the Outer Royal Garden.
