Chapter 358: Top-tier Hell Three-Headed Dog (Three-in-one chapter, requesting all)

Even though the field was enveloped by the night curtain, it could not stop the obstruction of Mental Power; at the same time the Three-Tailed Snow Fox lost its combat ability, Li Changsheng "saw" the opponent's image and data.

This was a Spirit Beast possessing two canine heads; its appearance seemed distorted by space, each head grinning with a blood-filled maw full of fangs, looking quite bloodthirsty, with poisonous saliva dripping from the corners of its mouths, a Dragon Tail growing from its lower body, and the hair on its head and back consisting entirely of coiled venomous snakes, looking extremely fierce and terrifying.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Hell Two-Headed Dog (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 7th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-tier

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Hell Three-Headed Dog (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Darkness

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Light

This was Dou Yuansheng's trump card, a Hell Two-Headed Dog with Top-tier quality; in terms of realm, quality, or race, it was not the slightest bit inferior to Aixi.

For Aixi, this was absolutely a formidable enemy!

As for why Dou Miwan, this Eleventh Princess, did not have a Top-tier Demon Pet, it had to do with the degree of importance placed by the Imperial Family; Top-tier Spirit Beasts were not common goods, and even the Langya Kingdom Imperial Family did not have many, not to mention that the Imperial Family already had many offspring, so it naturally depended on the degree of importance, and furthermore, princesses of the Imperial Family generally had to marry into the nobility of other countries, so being able to be allocated a white dragon was already considered quite good.

Do you not see that Dou Yuansheng only had one Top-tier Hell Two-Headed Dog in total, and his second-best Demon Pet was a Great Earth Mammoth; in terms of quality, there was a significant gap compared to Li Changsheng, after all, Li Changsheng had a full four Top-tier Demon Pets.

Roar—

Aixi's majestic roar sounded, and an invisible Pressure began to permeate, attempting to Intimidate the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

Roar—

The Hell Two-Headed Dog did not show weakness in its momentum and likewise let out a roar; because of its two heads, the sound was like Thunder, booming in all directions, and accompanying it was an evil aura that began to permeate.

This Hell Two-Headed Dog possessed two traits; the Night Falls trait automatically activated the moment it appeared, swallowing the surrounding light, and like the Scorching Sun trait of the Scorching Bird, it could be maintained for a certain period of time, only that Night Falls could not increase the strength of the Hell Two-Headed Dog, but its effect was very powerful, equivalent to leaving the opponent in a blind state.

The second trait was called Evil Roar, and similar to the Pressure and Dragon Might traits, it could intimidate the opponent, with a certain probability of making the weak flee in panic, or reducing the opponent's abilities to a certain extent.

Under the influence of both sides' traits, fear appeared in the eyes of both Spirit Beasts, and their combat power inevitably suffered a small discount.

"Hell Two-Headed Dog, attack!" Dou Yuansheng was very clear about his advantage; he had to finish off Aixi as quickly as possible before the night curtain disappeared.

Otherwise, once the night curtain disappeared, it would be very disadvantageous for the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

Dark Blade!

The Hell Two-Headed Dog roared, and countless black light spots gathered rapidly, turning into a pitch-black light blade, quickly slashing toward Aixi.

Because the night curtain swallowed the light, Aixi's vision was greatly affected and it could only see vast darkness.

However, when the dark light blade arrived close by, Aixi immediately sensed it; it was too late to dodge, so it turned its head, and its sword-like fangs precisely clamped onto the dark light blade.

Crack!

Under Aixi's terrifying bite force, the sound of shattering glass rang out, and the dark light blade was bitten into two pieces.

After the energy structure was broken, the dark light blade, broken into two, became extremely unstable, and then it exploded, turning into a sheet of dark energy that enveloped several meters around.

Unfortunately, Aixi reacted extremely quickly; before the dark light blade exploded, it used its speed to move out of the explosion range first.

"Hell Two-Headed Dog, Damage Deepening!"

Dou Yuansheng's voice sounded again, and the Hell Two-Headed Dog suddenly widened its four eyes, and four black rays shot out simultaneously; once hit by the black rays, Aixi's fur defense would be significantly reduced.

"Aixi, dodge at two o'clock!" At this moment, Li Changsheng and Aixi's spirits connected, and his voice sounded in the depths of Aixi's heart; just because Aixi could not see did not mean Li Changsheng could not see.

Without any hesitation, even though it could not see the surrounding environment, Aixi still dodged toward the right diagonal; having already put on three layers of Wind Cloak, Aixi's speed was extremely fast, causing the four black rays to hit nothing.

"Damn it, Hell Two-Headed Dog, Sprint!" Dou Yuansheng frowned tightly; because of Li Changsheng, the Hell Two-Headed Dog's night curtain advantage was effectively weakened.

Just as Aixi was dodging, the Hell Two-Headed Dog moved its four limbs; its speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Aixi.

Boom—

In the dark environment, Aixi was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground head-on by the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

Crush!

Not giving Aixi a chance to stand up, the Hell Two-Headed Dog stepped forward again, its two canine heads opening their blood-filled maws to bite toward Aixi.

"Who's afraid of whom? We'll use Crush too!"

Although the Hell Two-Headed Dog possessed two heads, how could the bite force of a single canine head compare to the Savage Storm Tiger?

When the Hell Two-Headed Dog pounced, Aixi also opened its big mouth, its sword-like fangs looking exceptionally ferocious, and bit toward the Hell Two-Headed Dog by feeling.

The next moment, the Hell Two-Headed Dog bit Aixi, and under its frantic Bite, it successfully broke through the tiger skin's defense and tore off two pieces of flesh.

Crack!

Aixi endured the pain, and its sword-like fangs directly pierced through the back of the Hell Two-Headed Dog, even biting through a rib.

Awoo—

The Hell Two-Headed Dog let out a miserable howl; although it had two canine heads, in this contest, it was actually Aixi that took advantage.

This had to do with the characteristics of the two Spirit Beasts; Aixi was clearly biased toward physical attacks, and its special attacks could only serve as support; the Hell Two-Headed Dog could handle both near and far, and its special attacks were stronger than Aixi's, but in terms of physical attacks alone, it was inferior to Aixi.

Aixi rolled on the ground and took the opportunity to climb up; because the Hell Two-Headed Dog was in close quarters, Aixi relied on its powerful sense of smell to sense the general position of the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

Steel Claw!

Aixi raised its right claw, golden light covering the entire tiger claw, with several inches of golden light extending from the tiger claw, and swiped toward the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

Dou Yuansheng's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Not good, quickly use Dark Shield!"

Before being swiped by Aixi, the Hell Two-Headed Dog condensed dark energy, turning it into a pitch-black energy shield, wanting to resist Aixi's offensive.

Boom—crack crack—clatter—

The moment the two made contact, the dark shield trembled violently, emitting a sound of being unable to bear the weight, countless cracks appeared on the surface, the sound of shattering glass rang out, and under the Hell Two-Headed Dog's terrified gaze, the dark shield shattered with a bang, turning into countless energy fragments that flew wildly.

Aixi's momentum only decreased by three parts, and its right claw swiped fiercely onto the Hell Two-Headed Dog's body; the Hell Two-Headed Dog let out a miserable scream and was directly swiped away, with a wound deep enough to see bone appearing on its chest, and it was unknown how many ribs were broken.

The next moment, Aixi's nose twitched, and using its amazing sense of smell, it rushed toward the location of the Hell Two-Headed Dog at high speed.

Of course, this had to do with the Hell Two-Headed Dog's aura being too thick.

"Jump up, then use Darkness Ripple!" Dou Yuansheng had a bit of a headache; his Hell Two-Headed Dog did not like to bathe, yet it happened to love blood and slaughter, which caused its aura to be too heavy. It was like a lamp in the darkness; unless it kept a certain distance, it would easily be detected by Aixi.

It was just that with Aixi's speed, it was difficult for the Hell Two-Headed Dog to open up distance after being entangled.

However, Aixi, relying only on its sense of smell, ultimately brought some inconvenience to it, as its attacks were easily avoided by the opponent.

When Aixi rushed to close range, the Hell Two-Headed Dog suddenly leaped up, avoiding Aixi's charge while each of its two dog heads spat out a black ripple, sweeping toward Aixi.

Aixi was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the back by the Darkness Ripple; a sound like an object being placed into sulfuric acid rang out. The dark energy possessed strong corrosive effects, beginning to corrode Aixi's fur and flesh.

Roar—

Aixi's pained cry rang out. It endured the pain, a bloodthirsty look of wanting to devour someone appearing in its tiger eyes. It turned its body at the fastest speed, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, and rushed toward the Hell Two-Headed Dog with an even more ferocious posture.

Watching Aixi approach rapidly, the Hell Two-Headed Dog wanted to repeat the previous process.

On the high platform, Li Changsheng, who had originally wanted to stop Aixi, suddenly thought of something, and the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a smile.

As a qualified Monster Tamer, one must accurately remember some of the traits of their Demon Pet during battle, such as when Aixi's Wind Speed Characteristic would activate again.

On the field, in the process of approaching, a green light flashed on Aixi's body surface again, draping a fourth layer of Wind Cloak over it. Its speed increased sharply, directly disrupting the rhythm of the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

The Hell Two-Headed Dog could not dodge in time and was directly knocked back several steps by Aixi. It subconsciously wanted to Bite Aixi, but before it could even open its mouth, a piercing sound of breaking air rang out, and Aixi's tail accurately whipped onto its right head.

Awoo—

The Hell Two-Headed Dog let out a pained howl and was directly whipped to the ground by Aixi. On its right head, there was now a whip mark deep enough to see bone; if its skull had not been hard enough, it would likely have been whipped into two pieces by this lash.

It was also at this moment that the night curtain shrouding the entire arena finally vanished. Aixi narrowed its eyes; its vision returned to normal, though it still required some adaptation.

Taking advantage of Aixi's eyes still adapting, the Hell Two-Headed Dog hurriedly stood up and took the opportunity to open up some distance from Aixi.

"Hell Two-Headed Dog, Hell Demon Flame!"

Hell Demon Flame is a legacy skill of the Hell Two-Headed Dog, which can greatly increase explosive power. Furthermore, as long as it touches an opponent, it will be like a maggot on a tarsal bone, instantly spreading to the opponent's body, giving the opponent a powerful strike while also significantly increasing the pain the opponent suffers.

In an instant, the Hell Two-Headed Dog activated its Bloodline power, and a deep, dark Hell Demon Flame erupted, instantly wrapping around it.

Burning with Hell Demon Flame, the Hell Two-Headed Dog launched a charge toward Aixi at a speed far exceeding before.

"Gold-Breaking Jade-Shattering Gang!"

At the critical moment, Aixi condensed countless visible Gold Element energies, using a special technique to compress them and attach them to its claws and teeth. Several inches of golden light extended from its claws and teeth, appearing as if they were solid; this was a sign of extreme compression of Gold Element energy.

This was the second function of the Gold-Breaking Jade-Shattering Gang, which could greatly increase the penetrating power of the claws and teeth, especially when cutting through fur and bone, where it could achieve miraculous effects.

Boom—

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Hell Two-Headed Dog slammed into Aixi. At the moment their bodies made contact, the Hell Demon Flame attached to the Hell Two-Headed Dog spread instantly to Aixi's tiger body like a maggot on a tarsal bone, continuously corroding its fur and flesh.

Fatal Fang!

Aixi endured the pain, its four limbs gripping the ground tightly, carving out long claw marks. After stopping the momentum of the Hell Two-Headed Dog's charge, Aixi revealed teeth like swords and bit regardless of anything toward the neck of the Hell Two-Headed Dog's left head.

Crack—

Aixi easily pierced through the fur and scales on the neck, only pausing slightly when it touched the neck bone, followed by a crisp sound as it completely pierced through its neck bone.

Ow—

The Hell Two-Headed Dog's left head's eyes bulged, and it let out a weak whimper, followed by the entire head drooping down. However, its vitality was quite peculiar; even though the neck bone was broken in two, the left head could still continue to breathe.

Crushing Claw!

Aixi pulled out its fangs, stood up on its hind legs, and directly pressed down on the Hell Two-Headed Dog's body, attacking toward the Hell Two-Headed Dog's other head.

The energy attached by the Gold-Breaking Jade-Shattering Gang had not yet dissipated; with Aixi's strength, as long as it hit, it would definitely bring great damage to the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

"Fight it out, use Dragon Tail!" Dou Yuansheng clenched his fists; now, such a scene depended on which side could not hold on first.

The Hell Two-Headed Dog, regardless of anything, swung its long Dragon Tail, emitting a piercing sound of breaking air, looking as if it was about to whip onto Aixi's waist.

At the same time, Aixi's right claw struck the Hell Two-Headed Dog's face first, with the force of a hot knife through butter. The extremely compressed Gold Element energy was indestructible, easily breaking through skin and flesh, shattering bone, and finally getting stuck in its right head, which was when it stopped. A large amount of red-black blood gushed out, spilling all over the ground.

Slap—

In an instant, the Hell Two-Headed Dog's thick and long Dragon Tail continued to whip over along the previous trajectory, landing on Aixi's waist.

Under this lash, the fur, which was already fragile from the corrosion of the Hell Demon Flame, was easily broken by the Hell Two-Headed Dog's Dragon Tail, followed by a powerful shockwave surging into Aixi's body, causing it to tilt its head and spray a mouthful of blood containing visceral fragments.

Awoo—

The Hell Two-Headed Dog whimpered weakly and collapsed limply to the ground, its four limbs twitching from time to time, its two heads gasping more than breathing; if it were not treated in time, it was feared it would not last long.

Aixi's situation was not much better; there was a long wound on its waist, and one could faintly see the beating internal organs.

Besides this most serious injury, there were a large number of messy wounds, especially the fur and flesh corroded by the Hell Demon Flame, which made it feel heart-wrenchingly painful.

However, Aixi still endured the pain, stepped on the Hell Two-Headed Dog's back, and looked up to let out a tiger roar filled with majesty, as if expressing its ambition.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The entire arena was filled with the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, most of whom were shouting Li Changsheng's name.

If the previous match made Li Changsheng famous in one battle, then this one consolidated his reputation.

"The Hell Two-Headed Dog has lost its combat ability, so this match will be won by..."

Just as the referee was preparing to announce the verdict, Aixi on the field moved its ears, turned its head to look at Li Changsheng in confusion, and then tilted its head, closing its eyes and falling to the ground.

Boom—

Well, Aixi had also lost its 'combat ability'!

The referee's voice stopped abruptly, and black lines seemed to appear on his forehead. Being so close, how could he not see that Aixi was acting? It was just that acting was acting, could it not be so exaggerated!

"Both sides have lost their combat ability, please both parties leave the field!"

Dou Yuansheng, who had originally had a livid face, saw Aixi's abnormality at this time, and his expression softened significantly. He hurriedly jumped onto the field, preparing to stabilize the Hell Two-Headed Dog's injuries.

On the other side, Li Changsheng also jumped onto the field. Aixi's injuries were relatively serious, especially the injury on its waist, which had to be treated as soon as possible.

Besides this, Aixi's tiger skin was pitted and scarred by the corrosion of the Hell Demon Flame, and its physical strength was almost exhausted. With its terrible state, its combat power was worrying; even if it continued to fight, it would be of no avail.

Rather than that, it was better to quit while ahead, which could also take the opportunity to avoid some 'misunderstandings'.

Dou Yuansheng was a Prince after all, and falling out with him was not a good thing, at least not before Li Changsheng's wings were fully grown. Not to mention that if he continued to fight, the next person he would have to face was the terrifying combination of Dou Yuanhua and Lin Jieru.

Dou Yuanhua went without saying; he was the only Fifth Rank student in this Exchange Tournament, while Lin Jieru was ranked fifth on the Top 100 Ranking. Facing such a combination, even Li Changsheng in his prime would have no hope, let alone now that he had lost his teammate, Zhao Shuyi.

Dou Yuansheng took out a Jade Bottle, poured out a green Alchemical Pill, and used his Mental Power to control the pill as it rushed into the stomach of the Hell Two-Headed Dog.

In the blink of an eye, the wounds of the Hell Two-Headed Dog began to sprout granulation tissue or scab over, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Condensed Jade Pill!" Seeing the effect of this Alchemical Pill, Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred.

The Condensed Jade Pill is a sacred healing medicine exclusively controlled by the Imperial Family; it is rumored to be refined from hundreds of precious materials, with a single pill worth a thousand gold, and it is priceless even if one has the money, as its healing efficacy far exceeds the Green Jade Hemostatic Ointment of the Li Clan, and it even possesses the miraculous effect of Limb Regeneration.

"I'll accept your favor this time, take this; if you have any business in the future, you can come find me at any time!"

After the injuries of the Hell Two-Headed Dog stabilized, Dou Yuansheng retracted it, then handed the Jade Bottle to Li Zhangsheng, who was treating Aixi's injuries; he was no fool, and having been so close, he naturally sensed Li Zhangsheng's intentions through Aixi's strange behavior.

Since the other party gave him face, he also had to return the favor, right?

"Alright!" Li Zhangsheng did not refuse; as he caught the Jade Bottle, he judged by the sound that there were three more Condensed Jade Pills inside, and his face was immediately filled with smiles—this was definitely an unexpected joy.

Thinking of the special Limb Regeneration effect of the Condensed Jade Pill, Li Zhangsheng thought of Clan Elder Li Ming, who had lost his right hand.

At the same time, if any Demon Pet suffered injuries like severed limbs in the future, they could also use the Condensed Jade Pill to recover.

Li Zhangsheng put away the Condensed Jade Pill and took two bottles of Life Water from his Space Ring, one for internal use and one for external application; his movements were gentle yet fast, and he quickly finished cleaning Aixi's wounds.

After retracting Aixi, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously looked toward the third-year combat arena, only to discover that the battle there had long since ended; Luo Jing and a third-year senior had ended up in a miserable defeat, and they hadn't even managed to injure a single Demon Pet of the opponent before being crushed by Dou Yuanhua and Lin Jieru.

They were truly miserable!

Li Zhangsheng silently mourned for them, then returned to the Yuanling Academy rest area and began to watch the fourth-year battle from the perspective of a bystander.

Miao Yinfeng + Ding Dangmao VS Sun Guoqiang + Zhou Peng!

Well, this was another battle with almost no suspense.

Sun Guoqiang ranked second on the Top 100 Ranking, and Zhou Peng ranked third; if it were one-on-one, Senior Miao Yinfeng would still have a hope of victory, but now it was a doubles match, and the existence of Senior Ding Dangmao undoubtedly held Senior Miao Yinfeng back; even if they had tacit cooperation, given the gap in strength, they were destined not to be the opponents of the other two.

It did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations; the fourth-year students of Yuanling Academy suffered another defeat, and the only highlight was that they focused their fire on Zhou Peng for the entire match and managed to take him out.

They forcibly took down Zhou Peng with a goal almost identical to Li Zhangsheng's: firstly, to save some face for the Academy, and secondly, Senior Miao Yinfeng also wanted to strive for the Best Lineup.

"The winner of these Finals is—the Royal Academy! Let us congratulate them on becoming the champions of this year's Exchange Tournament!"

After the matches for all four grades concluded, the head referee announced the final results of the competition.

Clatter clatter clatter~

The cheers of the audience rose, but the sound was not very fanatical; the group from the Royal Academy also began to celebrate their consecutive championship in the Exchange Tournament, but no matter how one looked at it, their smiles were not Rich, and were more like they were just going through the motions.

There was no help for it; this was entirely within expectations.

After the Grand Finals ended, it was naturally time for the awards ceremony.

"The Academy Exchange Tournament is about to come to a close; next, please join me in welcoming the top three academies with the warmest applause!"

On the awards podium, the voice of Emperor Dou Zhangsheng rang out; it had been the Emperor who presided over the Exchange Tournament awards ceremony every year.

As soon as Dou Zhangsheng's voice fell, fanatical applause and cheers erupted within the arena.

Amidst the applause, the team leaders of the Royal Academy, Yuanling Academy, and Tiandu Academy arrived at the awards podium one after another, standing in their respective positions.

As for the fourth-place Huating Academy, sorry, there is no trophy for fourth place.

The Vice Principal of the Royal Academy stood in the middle, the circular platform under his feet being the highest; Vice Principal Xu stood on the left, the platform height being the second highest; and the Vice Principal of Tiandu Academy stood on the right, the platform height being the lowest.

Soon, Dou Zhangsheng presented three trophies of different textures to the three academy leaders, and at the same time, the flags representing the three major academies began to rise, eventually fluttering above the arena.

Hmm, still no Huating Academy in fourth place!

After presenting the group awards, it was naturally time for the individual awards.

Due to a relative passing away, I need to go over and help, so today's goal is temporarily changed to two chapters; if I can manage three, then I will do three!

(End of this chapter)
