Chapter 341: Nothing Is Indestructible Except Speed (Second Update, requesting everything)

Watching the situation on the field, Qin Xiaoxin was nearly in despair; no matter how the Dragon Python launched its attacks, it was like using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito—it simply could not land a hit on Aixi.

Conversely, Aixi, whose speed had reached the extreme, struck the Dragon Python time and again with effortless ease; the speed gap between the two sides was simply too vast.

In a short amount of time, the Dragon Python was already showing signs of collapse; if not for its long stamina and powerful scale defense, it likely would have been finished off by Aixi long ago.

Even so, the Dragon Python was nearly incapacitated, and its defeat was only a matter of time.

"Move Like a Rabbit! Bear's Resilience!" In this situation, regardless of whether it would be useful, Qin Xiaoxin consecutively activated two Secret Technique Imprints, bestowing them upon the Dragon Python.

Move Like a Rabbit: An Intermediate Secret Technique, similar to Mental Acceleration, both of which can increase a Demon Pet's speed.

Bear's Resilience: An Intermediate Secret Technique, which can increase the Dragon Python's ability to withstand attacks.

After bestowing the two Secret Techniques upon the Dragon Python, Qin Xiaoxin's face turned deathly pale, and she felt dizzy; this was a sign that her Mental Power had reached its limit.

In the previous battle against a third-year student from Yuanling Academy, Qin Xiaoxin had used Secret Techniques several times, and her Mental Power was already nearing its limit; now that she had forcibly bestowed them upon the Dragon Python again, she naturally would not fare well.

At a time like this, she had no choice but to do so.

However, when the speed gap reaches a certain point, even acceleration Secret Techniques are difficult to compensate for.

All martial arts under heaven are Indestructible, only speed cannot be broken; this saying is equally reflected in battles between Demon Pets.

After receiving the Secret Technique buffs, the Dragon Python's speed and defense were improved.

Yet at this very moment, a second layer of cyan Wind Cloak spontaneously condensed on Aixi's body, causing its speed to surge once more; the speed gap between the two not only failed to shrink, but instead grew even larger.

The speed increased by Secret Techniques is determined by the Demon Pet's own base speed, and after removing all speed bonuses, Aixi's base speed was at least double that of the Dragon Python.

Of course, the Dragon Python was not without its merits; its scale defense was extremely strong, it was powerful at both long and short range, and its speed was not slow—it had almost no weaknesses, but it was being tormented too miserably in terms of speed!

Under such circumstances, the Dragon Python's situation did not improve at all; instead, it became increasingly critical as time passed.

Qin Xiaoxin's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, but she had no time to wipe it away; she forced herself to calm down, trying her best to improve the Dragon Python's plight.

Under Qin Xiaoxin's command, the Dragon Python backed against the wall and coiled into a ball, yet it remained helpless against Aixi; the scars on its body only increased, and its blood flowed across the ground.

It was only because the Dragon Python had thick skin and flesh; if it were any other Demon Pet, it would likely have died from excessive blood loss long ago.

Even so, the Dragon Python had already reached its limit; due to its declining state, its performance was also affected.

"Dragon Python, rush into the pond!" At this moment, Qin Xiaoxin made a wrong command, wanting to use the small pond to restrict Aixi's speed.

"It's over!" In the Tiandu Academy rest area, the Vice Principal, who had been watching the situation the whole time, clutched his forehead in pain; he could already imagine the scene that would follow.

Qin Xiaoxin's command seemed good, but she forgot the Dragon Python's position; at this time, the Dragon Python was at the edge of the arena, while the pond was located in the center, with a distance of thirty or forty meters between them.

For the Dragon Python at this moment, such a distance was simply a chasm!

At this moment, a large amount of water sprayed from the Dragon Python's mouth, turning into a surging wave; under its precise control, the giant wave lifted its massive snake body, and it lunged toward the pond with great momentum.

It was not that Qin Xiaoxin hadn't thought about having the Dragon Python turn the arena into a marsh to restrict Aixi's speed; it was just that with the Dragon Python's strength, it simply couldn't do it in a short time.

Just as the Dragon Python was struggling to rush toward the pond, Aixi instantly appeared behind the surging waves and jumped high into the air; its mouth opened wide, and its fangs, which were like swords, flashed with intense Divine Power as it bit toward the Dragon Python's back.

"Watch out!"

Even with Qin Xiaoxin's warning, the Dragon Python was ultimately a beat too slow; by the time it discovered Aixi, it was clearly already too late.

In an instant, Aixi's fangs bit fiercely into the Dragon Python's back, and the sharp Gold Element energy surged violently, instantly piercing through the Dragon Python's body.

When Aixi landed, it tore off a large chunk of the Dragon Python's flesh and blood in the process.

Fresh blood sprayed like a fountain from the Dragon Python's wound; the Dragon Python no longer had the strength to control it, and the waves burst apart with a boom, scattering in all directions.

Boom—

The Dragon Python fell heavily to the ground; it struggled a few times, but never stood up again.

"The Dragon Python has lost the ability to fight. Given that contestant Qin Xiaoxin's three Demon Pets have all been defeated, this match is won by contestant Li Zhangsheng of Yuanling Academy! The loser leaves the stage, and the winner is requested to continue waiting in the contestant area!"

After confirming that the Dragon Python was unable to fight again, the referee decisively announced the result of the match.

Qin Xiaoxin collapsed onto the ground; her pretty face was abnormally pale, her eyes were listless, and she even shed two lines of tears.

She had lost; a dignified Fourth Rank student of Tiandu Academy had been defeated by Li Zhangsheng across ranks in front of everyone's eyes, especially in this final battle where she had almost no power to fight back—this would likely become a shadow over her for the rest of her life.

Whoosh whoosh—

At this moment, the audience's enthusiastic cheers erupted; from the start of the Exchange Tournament until now, this was the first time they had seen someone win by fighting across ranks, which was completely beyond their expectations; this match alone was worth the price of the ticket.

"You worked hard, Aixi!"

Li Zhangsheng recalled Aixi and waved his arm casually toward the surrounding stands to respond to the audience's enthusiasm, then returned to the Yuanling Academy rest area.

As for the girl Qin Xiaoxin, who was collapsed on the ground, she was naturally helped off the stage by her companions.

After this match, the morale of Yuanling Academy rose once again, while Tiandu Academy naturally showed a downward trend; however, Tiandu Academy still held a significant advantage, as they still had two Fourth Rank fourth-year students!

Unlike Qin Xiaoxin, who was a newly promoted Fourth Rank student, these two fourth-year Fourth Rank students were stronger and both possessed Leader-level Demon Pets.

However, Yuanling Academy was not bad either; Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi could still continue to fight, so it was not yet certain who would win or lose.

After the third-year matches were decided, the fourth-year team members from both sides began to take the stage.

Senior Miao Yinfeng had a serious face, showing an expression of being ready to die; like him, Senior Ding Dangmao and another fourth-year senior with an average appearance also had similar expressions.

While watching the situation on the stage, Li Zhangsheng summoned Kailan and the Flame Bird to begin treating their injuries.

His three Demon Pet slots were already fixed; Kailan had been eliminated, while Aixi and the Flame Bird could still continue to take the stage.
