Chapter 590: Pitiful, Weak, and Helpless (First Update, requesting everything)

In just over six minutes, the first-grade match had been decided.

Qin Danxin and Luo Xiaoman achieved victory, though the cost was not small; they only had two Demon Pet slots remaining, and neither was in their prime condition.

On the other side, Li Wanru was narrowly defeated and exited the arena, while Li Wanru's low-health opponent was also easily KO'd by Luo Xiaoman.

Li Wanru lowered her head, her face filled with frustration.

"You have already given your all. I believe that next time, you will definitely be able to defeat them. Alright, the rest is up to us!"

Li Changsheng comforted Li Wanru and took the stage with Zhao Shuyi and Xu Xiangzhi.

On the other side, Xu Wenhua met Qin Danxin and Luo Xiaoman.

"Well done. While there is still time, go and rest, and recover your Demon Pets' injuries as quickly as possible!"

Given the Second Grade's massive advantage, Qin Danxin and Luo Xiaoman had at least ten minutes of rest time, during which they could try their best to recover their Demon Pets' injuries and stamina to prepare for the next battle.

"Yes!"

Qin Danxin and Luo Xiaoman hurriedly responded and couldn't wait to return to the contestant area, working hard to recover their Demon Pets' injuries.

Both possessed high-grade Alchemical Pills, and with the Life Water donated by Li Changsheng, ten minutes was enough to bring their Demon Pets back to their prime condition.

At this moment, the Second Grade contestants began to take the stage.

The Royal Academy Second Grade contestants were composed of Dou Miwan, Zhao Wencan, and Jiang Jing. As the Eleventh Princess, Dou Niwan was the only Fourth Rank among them, while the other two were only one step away from advancing to the Fourth Rank.

In the draw to determine opponents, Li Changsheng's opponent was Dou Niwan, Zhao Shuyi faced Zhao Wencan, and Xu Xiangzhi's opponent was naturally Jiang Jing.

This could be called a situation of soldier against soldier and general against general, except that Yuanling Academy held a huge advantage.

In fact, such a draw was also favorable for the Royal Academy, because whether it was Zhao Wencan or Jiang Jing facing Li Changsheng, they would likely repeat the mistake of the freckled girl from Huating Academy.

If it were Dou Niwan, the possibility of losing without a fight was very low, and she could also consume as much of Li Changsheng's strength as possible.

Since it was a Single Double Battle Mode, the random field segment still existed.

"Fire Field!"

"Glittering Field!"

Both discarded the fields they did not want, and in the random selection of the remaining fields, it finally settled on the Water Field.

"The two sides of the match are Li Changsheng of Yuanling Academy and Dou Miwan of the Royal Academy. Each person is limited to four Demon Pet slots. The match will be conducted in Single Double Battle Mode with no time limit, until one side's Demon Pets all lose their combat ability. Please have both sides summon their two starting Demon Pets!"

After the referee announced the match rules, the match began to proceed.

The next moment, both summoned their two starting Demon Pets.

Four magnificent Blood-colored Hexagrams appeared, and in the blink of an eye, four Demon Pets of various shapes and sizes appeared on the field.

Unlike singles, in Single Double Battle Mode, both sides had ten seconds of preparation time.

This time, Li Changsheng chose two large Demon Pets; they were Adai and Datou.

Because it had absorbed the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, a seven-colored cloud supported Adai, giving it the ability to fly.

Originally, Li Changsheng wanted to have Baitian and Heiye take the stage, but in the end, he abandoned this idea due to the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote, choosing Adai and Datou instead.

Although their coordination was certainly not as good as Baitian and Heiye's, the individual strength of Adai and Datou was stronger.

On the other side, Dou Niwan chose the Azure Flying Dragon and the Plesiosaur, both of which were Superior Quality Demon Pets.

Among them, the Azure Flying Dragon possessed the Blue Dragon Bloodline and was also a Leader-level Demon Pet, while the Plesiosaur was only Elite.

Even as the Eleventh Princess of the Imperial Family, Dou Niwan's Leader-level Demon Pets were very limited.

After appearing, the effect of Datou's Cloud-Covering Dark Clouds trait took hold, and heavy rain began to fall on the field.

Cloud-Covering Dark Clouds belonged to the weather-type traits; it was guaranteed to rain upon appearing, which increased the power of Water Element skills while also significantly weakening the power of Fire Element skills.

At the same time, Datou's Turning Rivers and Seas trait was also activated. Countless whirlpools of various sizes began to appear in the Water Field, and countless waves surged crazily; Dou Niwan's Plesiosaur was clearly greatly affected.

"So big!"

Upon seeing Li Changsheng's two Demon Pets, Dou Niwan's expression became very grave, and there was even more panic deep in her eyes.

Adai was a full thirty meters tall and quite strong, especially those giant claws, which were unusually ferocious.

Datou was hidden in the water, and just the part exposed above the water surface was comparable to Adai. Compared to Datou, the ten-plus-meter-long Plesiosaur was not even in the same league.

Before the two sides had even started fighting, the Plesiosaur was already trembling; the Kun-fish aura emitted by Datou was like its natural predator.

"I announce the start of the match!"

At this moment, ten seconds had passed, and the flag held high by the referee fell with a boom; the match officially began.

"Free mode!"

Under Li Changsheng's command, Adai and Datou acted simultaneously.

Datou opened its big mouth and condensed a huge water ball, with countless blue electric sparks swirling around it, charging straight toward the Azure Flying Dragon.

This was the Kui Water Divine Thunder, a skill Datou comprehended after absorbing the Kui Water Essence.

On the other side, Adai steered the cloud and also charged toward the Azure Flying Dragon.

From beginning to end, the two Demon Pets completely ignored the weak and helpless Plesiosaur.

Even if they stood there and let the Plesiosaur attack, the opponent probably couldn't even break their defense.

Li Changsheng's tactic was very simple: ignore the existence of the Plesiosaur and focus fire on Dou Niwan's powerful Demon Pet.

This was Single Double Battle Mode; if Dou Niwan did not voluntarily give up on the Plesiosaur, as long as the Plesiosaur remained on the field, it was effectively a two-on-one.

Roar~

The Azure Flying Dragon let out a roar, opened its mouth, and spat out a breath, which collided with the Kui Water Divine Thunder in the blink of an eye.

Splash~

The huge water ball, nearly ten meters in diameter, suppressed the breath and continued to advance; no matter how much the Azure Flying Dragon increased the intensity of its breath, it could not forcibly detonate the Kui Water Divine Thunder.

The Azure Flying Dragon only had time to fold its wings to defend before it was fiercely struck by the massive Kui Water Divine Thunder. Countless blue thunderbolts flashed crazily, and an explosion occurred suddenly.

Rumble~

Accompanied by the sound of a violent explosion, countless flesh and blood flew everywhere, and even a broken azure wing flew out, flying directly out of the arena.

Splash!

The Azure Flying Dragon fell straight down from the sky, its battered dragon body slamming heavily onto the water's surface and kicking up a massive spray.

The once majestic Azure Flying Dragon looked as if it had turned into a lump of mangled flesh; its body was covered in wounds, one of its dragon wings had vanished, and a massive gash deep enough to reveal bone had appeared on its back, causing it to fall into a deep coma.

With just a single strike, the Azure Flying Dragon had entered a near-death state; if it did not receive effective aid in a short time, death would be its fate.

It was fortunate that the Azure Flying Dragon's breath had offset some of the power, and combined with its naturally strong physique and defense, it had not died on the spot.

On the other side, Adai stopped and did not kill the Azure Flying Dragon.

Although Dou Niwan posed no threat to Li Zhangsheng, she was, after all, an Imperial Family princess, and most importantly, her father was watching from the stands.

Offending the Third Prince Dou Yuanbin was fine, as Li Zhangsheng could still handle it, but offending the Emperor Dou Zhangsheng was another matter entirely; at the very least, his backer, the Academy, could not suppress that.

As the Eleventh Princess of the Imperial Family, Dou Niwan surely possessed the Imperial Family secret medicine, the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill; although the Azure Flying Dragon's injuries were severe, saving its life was not a problem at all.

At this moment, Adai looked down at the pitiful, weak, and helpless Plesiosaur, having no intention of attacking it at all.

As long as the Plesiosaur continued to stay on the field, it was actually a good thing for them.

"The Azure Flying Dragon has lost its combat ability; contestant Dou Niwan, please replace it with your next Demon Pet as soon as possible!"

At this time, the referee made the announcement.

Dou Niwan hurried to fly into the Water Field and stuffed a Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill into the Azure Flying Dragon's bloodied mouth, which finally saved its life.

However, given the Azure Flying Dragon's injuries, it would likely need to rest and recover for quite some time.

"Return!"

Unexpectedly, Dou Niwan not only recalled the Azure Flying Dragon but also recalled the Plesiosaur, which had done nothing.

In this way, it was equivalent to Dou Niwan losing two Demon Pet slots.

Firstly, the Plesiosaur had been useless, and secondly, Dou Niwan did not want to lose the Plesiosaur forever. Even the Azure Flying Dragon had been nearly killed in one hit, so it went without saying for the Elite-level Plesiosaur.

The next moment, one purple and one red hexagram appeared, and then two Demon Pets with different expressions appeared on the field.

This time, Dou Niwan summoned a Juvenile White Dragon and an Adult Komodo Behemoth; they were both Leader-level Demon Pets.

It was just that this was the Water Field, so the White Dragon could only aggrievedly carry the flightless Komodo Behemoth, and one could only imagine how uncomfortable it felt inside.

With the word "Behemoth" in its name, the weight of the Komodo Behemoth could be imagined.

Watching the Juvenile White Dragon's precarious posture, most of the audience on the scene burst into laughter.

Dou Niwan had thin skin, and her ears turned red instantly, but she still calmly commanded the White Dragon to spray Ice Dragon Breath to freeze a thick block of ice on the water's surface before setting the Komodo Behemoth down.

It was also at this moment that Datou thrashed wildly on the water's surface, kicking up a monstrous wave dozens of meters high that swept straight toward the White Dragon and the Komodo Behemoth.

The Juvenile White Dragon could not care about the Komodo Behemoth at all and hurriedly flapped its wings to fly up, flying out almost pressed against the monstrous wave, leaving only the bewildered Komodo Behemoth to be submerged by the giant wave.

Just as the White Dragon flew out, Adai rode the seven-colored clouds and pounced straight over.

Although Adai's speed and agility in the air were not as good as Flying Demon Pets of the same tier, its realm and quality were there, and combined with the effects of the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, its speed was not only not slower than the Juvenile White Dragon but actually three parts faster.

Before the White Dragon could react, Adai grabbed it, extended its huge, ferocious right claw, and subconsciously wanted to grab at the Juvenile White Dragon's chest.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verified!
