Chapter 347: Explosion is Art (Second Update)

"Dragon Breath!"

Because its wings were broken, the unable-to-fly Blazing Bird could only stand on the ground; it opened its Bird Beak and spewed out a surge of scorching Dragon Breath.

Under the enhancement of the Blazing Sun Weather, the Dragon Breath was clearly a circle thicker, and its temperature had also been elevated, sweeping toward the Six-Headed Snake.

"Energy Impact!" Shen Haofei revealed a confident look, as if pointing out the landscape, directing the Six-Headed Snake to counter-blast.

Although the Six-Headed Snake primarily relied on close-quarters melee, its long-range offensive was not too bad either; after all, it had a full six heads.

With more heads, it brought no small advantage to both melee and long-range attacks.

On the ground, the Six-Headed Snake looked contemptuously at the rapidly approaching Dragon Breath; its six heads opened their mouths in unison, each head condensing energy of different attributes—black, yellow, gold, blue, azure, and cyan—which finally transformed into a six-colored beam of light, colliding with the Dragon Breath.

Boom—

The Dragon Breath and the six-colored beam of light stalemated for a moment, then the six-colored beam began to suppress the Dragon Breath, rapidly advancing toward the Blazing Bird.

"Explode!" Li Zhangsheng had no other choice but to attempt to detonate the Dragon Breath to resolve this crisis.

With a thought from the Blazing Bird, it immediately detonated the Dragon Breath!

Boom—

Accompanied by the sound of a violent explosion, unexpectedly, the six-colored beam of light fluctuated violently but did not completely collapse, then continued to advance, instantly submerging the Blazing Bird.

Dust flew, a burst of intense wind pressure began to spread toward the surroundings, and a figure was thrown out from the center of the explosion, landing heavily on the ground.

This was naturally the Blazing Bird; although the power of the Dragon Breath was very strong, under the huge gap in strength, it still presented a trend of defeat.

However, the Dragon Breath had after all offset part of the damage, and the Blazing Bird could still continue to fight, only at this moment it had clearly suffered heavy damage.

In the sky, that big fireball began to turn dim; this was a sign that the Blazing Sun Weather was about to end.

Just as the Blazing Bird was preparing to stand up, the Six-Headed Snake rushed toward the Blazing Bird at high speed; its speed was very fast, not a bit slower than the Blazing Bird in its prime, and it seemed to be even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the Six-Headed Snake appeared in front of the Blazing Bird.

A victorious smile appeared on the corner of Shen Haofei's mouth, and he shouted aggressively: "Give it the final Bite!"

The six heads of the Six-Headed Snake opened their mouths again, revealing sharp snake fangs; its strongest ability was to Bite prey, and although its bite force was far inferior to Spirit Beasts like the Emperor Crocodile, Megalodon, or Tyrannosaurus, it won by having six heads.

In the Blazing Bird's current state, once bitten by the Six-Headed Snake, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Burning Body Explosion!" Seeing that the situation was not good, a ruthless look appeared on Li Zhangsheng's face.

Before the Six-Headed Snake could bite down, the Blazing Bird operated at overload, its whole body wrapped in red-and-white flames, transforming into a huge fireball; this was the color triggered when the flame temperature reached a certain degree.

"Not good!" Shen Haofei's expression changed drastically; he had naturally seen information about Burning Body Explosion, which was a desperate skill of the Phoenix, and among all known skills, its power could definitely enter the top three ranks!

It was just that, at this time, where would there be time.

Rumble—

Before the Six-Headed Snake could bite down, the red-and-white flames erupted crazily, and at the same time, the Blazing Bird's own physical body also flickered with rich red light, bursting along with the flames and venting toward the surroundings; a rich sea of fire rose and exploded, from which came the Six-Headed Snake's shrill screams.

This was Burning Body Explosion, self-detonating one's own physical body along with the condensed flames to bring extreme damage, especially since the Blazing Sun Weather had also enhanced the power of the Burning Body Explosion.

A huge sound rang out; the power of the Blazing Bird's Burning Body Explosion was truly too powerful, the flames swept rapidly toward the surroundings, covering a ten-meter radius, looking like a huge fireball!

It lasted for about a few breaths of time, and the flames finally disappeared, but the field was still filled with a large amount of dust, making it impossible for everyone to see the scene inside with the naked eye.

In the Royal Academy area, a flash of joy crossed Dou Yuansheng's eyes, then he feigned regret and said: "I didn't expect it, for the sake of victory, Li Zhangsheng really won't stop until he reaches his goal! What a pity, such an excellent Blazing Bird is just gone like that!"

Dou Yuansheng was a Second Grade student at the Royal Academy; according to the current situation, in the next match he would likely have to face Li Zhangsheng's challenge, and to say there was no pressure would definitely be a lie; he did not want to be like Qin Xiaoxin, successfully challenged by Li Zhangsheng across ranks in full view of everyone.

As a Prince, he could not afford to lose this face!

Dou Yuanhua glanced at Dou Yuansheng sideways and said in a mocking tone: "Ninth Brother, you pay too little attention to details; didn't you notice that Li Zhangsheng didn't have any abnormalities? If there are no accidents, that Blazing Bird likely didn't die!"

"What!" Dou Yuansheng was startled in his heart; unable to care about counterattacking Dou Yuanhua, he immediately looked at Li Zhangsheng.

Upon looking, he knew that what Dou Yuanhua said was true; Li Zhangsheng's complexion was ruddy and his demeanor was calm—where was there any sign of mental shock?

Shen Haofei clenched his hands tightly, his eyes staring fixedly at the smoke-filled field, and he became increasingly uneasy in his heart.

Utilizing his externalized Mental Power, he naturally 'saw' the scene in the dust.

At this moment, a red light rushed out from the dust, then submerged into Li Zhangsheng's forehead acupoint and disappeared.

Only a few people could 'see' that it was an egg.

"Rebirth from Fire!" Vice Principal Xu's hanging heart finally let go; he was learned and knowledgeable, and his brain only turned for a moment before he figured out the reason.

Only Rebirth from Fire could fit such a scene.

The referee saw it too, and he immediately announced: "The Blazing Bird has lost its ability to fight; please, contestant Li Zhangsheng, change to your next Demon Pet!"

It was also at this time that the dust settled, revealing the scene on the field.

A large pit with a ten-meter diameter appeared on the field, deepest in the middle, reaching a depth of four or five meters, and the large pit was covered with a large number of crystalline stones; these were products calcined by the extremely high-temperature flames.

The Six-Headed Snake lay in the large pit, its body surface having a large number of burn marks, two heads completely exploded, blood dripping from the stumps, and the other four heads also had various injuries; even though the Six-Headed Snake's strength far exceeded the Blazing Bird's, bearing the Burning Body Explosion head-on was still very uncomfortable, which caused it to lose a large amount of stamina.

After performing Burning Body Explosion, the Blazing Bird needed a period of time to recover.

After recalling the Blazing Bird, Li Zhangsheng immediately summoned Aixi, not giving the Six-Headed Snake any extra time to recover.

The Six-Headed Snake looked very miserable, but if one looked closely at its wounds, one would find that its wounds were wriggling and beginning to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wouldn't take long for the Six-Headed Snake to recover from its injuries, or even regenerate its severed heads!

This was the toughness of the Nine-Headed Snake Bloodline; even if its regeneration ability was far inferior to the Nine-Headed Snake, it still possessed powerful endurance.
