Chapter 598: The Grand Champion (First update, requesting everything)

The Volt Sprite wanted to provide support, but at this moment, how could it possibly be in time?

In the sky, the Fire Phoenix Sculpture suddenly erupted with scorching flames all over its body, wanting to force Aixi to retreat in the face of difficulty.

Unfortunately, Aixi endured the burning pain of the flames and bit down regardless, its sharp fangs beginning to pierce into the neck of the Fire Phoenix Sculpture.

While Aixi was acting, the head referee had already activated the Restriction in advance, and dozens of energy chains instantly appeared in the void.

The Fire Phoenix Sculpture was Dou Yuanhua's Life-Bound Demon Pet; once a Life-Bound Demon Pet died, Dou Yuanhua would either die or become a cripple, so the head referee naturally dared not take it lightly.

Not far away, Luo Qingning feigned composure, but if one observed carefully, one would find her complexion was several shades paler than before.

On the high platform, Emperor Dou Zhangsheng had a grave expression, his gaze flickering constantly, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"Aixi, spare the bird!"

Li Changsheng shouted loudly on purpose, so that Dou Yuanhua could hear.

Just after biting into the neck of the Fire Phoenix Sculpture, Aixi stopped and pulled its fangs back out, though it still placed its tiger claw, which was as large as a water vat, in front of the Fire Phoenix Sculpture's forehead, not feeling at ease.

Once the Fire Phoenix Sculpture made any unusual movement, its tiger claw would strike down.

The energy chains controlled by the head referee had long since stopped, and they were just inches away from Aixi.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire arena were almost fixed on the head referee, waiting for his verdict.

"The Fire Phoenix Sculpture is unable to fight again, please have student Dou Yuanhua of the Royal Academy recall it!"

Following the head referee's verdict, the whole arena was in an uproar, followed by intense cheers and boos filling the venue.

However, the cheers were still in the majority; most of the neutral audience had completely sided with Li Changsheng.

Dou Yuanhua's body swayed a few times, his complexion was very unsightly; having lost the Fire Phoenix Sculpture, his Volt Sprite would have to face the combined attack of Aixi and Kailan.

Although the individual ability of the Volt Sprite was superior to Aixi and Kailan, the gap was minimal; unless Li Changsheng made a fatal mistake, he had almost no chance of winning.

Dou Yuanhua took a deep breath, suppressed the intense resentment in his heart, and recalled the Fire Phoenix Sculpture with great unwillingness.

Unlike before, because there were no extra Demon Pet slots, Dou Yuanhua could only let the Volt Sprite fight independently, so there was no ten-second observation time for either side.

The match continued, and Aixi and Kailan began to surround it.

Li Changsheng adopted a steady and solid stance; the closer it got to a critical juncture, the more cautious he became, not daring to take it lightly in the slightest, and not giving Dou Yuanhua any chance to turn the tables.

Kailan landed on Aixi's head, focusing mainly on support and defense, with Aixi acting as the primary attacker.

They were the first two Demon Pets Li Changsheng had contracted, having accompanied Li Changsheng for over a year; the tacit understanding between them was second only to Bai Tian and Hei Ye, and far from as unfamiliar as Adai and Datou had been before.

The Volt Sprite flapped its four pairs of wings; its speed was not much slower than Aixi's, and while flying toward the other side, it began to gather a large amount of silver electric current.

Aixi chased closely after the Volt Sprite; due to the limitations of the arena, the distance between the two was rapidly closing.

Wild Thunder Descent!

When the silver electric current condensed to the extreme, the Volt Sprite suddenly stopped, and countless currents rushed into the sky, turning into a thundercloud Storm flickering with astonishing electric light.

Rumble—

In an instant, countless silver lightning bolts as thick as water buckets struck down, covering almost more than half of the arena.

With such a dense offensive, even if Aixi's speed was fast, it was difficult to avoid it completely.

While the Volt Sprite was condensing the electric light, Kailan had already made preparations in advance; countless Natural Energy gathered into a mass, forming a blurry large tree above her and Aixi.

Although this large tree was blurry and indistinct, it carried a will that suppressed everything.

This was a legacy skill derived from the Spirit King—World Tree's Guard, which could be called the strongest defense; as long as the strength was sufficient, one could even summon a projection of the World Tree.

The current Kailan was still a long way from summoning a projection of the World Tree; perhaps only the Spirit King could do that.

Pop—pop—pop—

Countless silver lightning bolts landed on the blurry energy tree, only causing ripples to appear, steady as a mountain, without the slightest sign of shattering.

With Kailan's protection, Aixi could focus wholeheartedly on rushing toward the Volt Sprite.

When the Wild Thunder Descent ended, Aixi and Kailan were unscathed.

Kailan did not continue to maintain the World Tree's Guard; this skill's defense was strong, but the consumption was also not ordinary, and it was difficult for Kailan to sustain it for long.

It was also at this moment that Aixi took the opportunity to rush in front of the Volt Sprite and swung a claw.

The Volt Sprite hurriedly manifested a Thunder Blade several zhang long to resist Aixi's tiger claw head-on.

It was just that the Volt Sprite's strength was no match for Aixi's; the difference in their physical sizes alone was not proportional.

Bang—clatter—

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Thunder Blade shattered, and the Volt Sprite, which had already been fighting in a rush, was directly swatted away by Aixi, flying back twenty or thirty meters involuntarily until it hit the energy Restriction and barely stopped.

Under this blow, the Volt Sprite vomited blood from the corner of its mouth; added to the injuries accumulated before, it was already heavily wounded.

Suddenly, Kailan condensed countless bright yellow Paralysis Powder, and with a breeze blowing, it swept toward the Volt Sprite.

The Volt Sprite had no time to catch its breath and could only force its body to evade rapidly to the right, which allowed it to avoid the range of the Paralysis Powder.

Unfortunately, this direction was a trap Kailan had specially prepared for the Volt Sprite.

Aixi shook its head, and a Giant Wind Blade spun rapidly, slashing toward the Volt Sprite.

For a moment, the Volt Sprite lost the space to dodge and could only hurriedly condense a Light Shield.

In an instant, the Giant Wind Blade and the Light Shield collided.

Aixi was more proficient in physical attacks; even with the Light Shield the Volt Sprite had condensed in a rush, the Giant Wind Blade could still only barely break through the Light Shield, and in the end, its energy was exhausted, vanishing into nothingness along with the Light Shield.

The problem was, Aixi had a helper.

Kailan condensed a Green Light Pillar, instantly engulfing the Volt Sprite.

When the Green Light Pillar disappeared, the Volt Sprite hit the Restriction heavily again, causing the Restriction to emit intense fluctuations, giving people a heart-stopping feeling.

The head referee hurriedly input a large amount of energy, striving to maintain the energy intensity of the Restriction, which then allowed the Restriction to stabilize.

The Volt Sprite fell a short distance from the sky, then flew up again, barely avoiding Aixi's collision, and took the opportunity to pull away a short distance.

At this time, the Volt Sprite was covered in wounds, but its eyes were still bright, faintly flickering with electric light.

During the process of the two chasing each other, the Volt Sprite once again gathered astonishing silver electric current.

Thunderbolt Strike!

Once Aixi drew near, the Volt Spirit finally unleashed its ultimate move, as countless silver electric currents condensed and compressed into a bright silver beam of light only as thick as a water bucket.

This was also the Volt Spirit's most powerful technique; unlike the energy-dispersed Wild Thunder Descent, this move was highly concentrated, and he was confident he could severely injure Aixi in one hit.

Unfortunately, Kailan had once again made preparations in advance.

Grafting!

Grafting also originated from the Spirit King's inheritance skills; it was an extremely rare auxiliary substitute-death skill that allowed one to use a plant to take damage in one's stead without anyone noticing.

Kailan controlled it with great effort, and finally, the bright silver beam of light vanished abruptly, ultimately colliding with a piece of wood on the ground.

Whoosh—whoosh—

Kailan gasped for air; the power of the Thunderbolt Strike was too great, and even though she had successfully executed Grafting, it still cost her a massive amount of stamina.

At the same time, Aixi appeared once again in front of the Volt Spirit.

The Volt Spirit tried to dodge in a rush, but helplessly, Aixi's body was already covered in five layers of Wind Cloak, and at full speed, she was significantly faster than the Volt Spirit.

Bang—

The Volt Spirit was sent flying by Aixi's impact again, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of silver blood.

Instant Flash!

The Volt Spirit had only flown back a few meters when Aixi used Instant Flash to appear before him once more, sending him flying again.

Like a cannonball fired from a chamber, the Volt Spirit turned into a streak of light and smashed fiercely into the ground.

Before the dust could fill the air, Kailan condensed another Green Light Pillar and, following her intuition, rushed toward the spot where the Volt Spirit had fallen.

Boom—

Accompanied by an explosion, countless clods of earth flew up, and for a moment, the scene inside could not be seen clearly.

Aixi and Kailan did not relax, remaining on guard against the Volt Spirit at all times.

However, the Volt Spirit never flew out.

When the dust settled, a large pit twenty or thirty meters deep had appeared on the ground, and the Volt Spirit lay at the very bottom of the pit, wanting to get up but unable to move at all.

Seeing this scene, Dou Yuanhua, Luo Qingning, and everyone from the Royal Academy felt cold in their hearts, and only Vice Principal Sun Min had complicated thoughts.

Sun Min did not know whether she should be glad or dejected; in short, her state of mind was very complex, as she neither wanted the Royal Academy to be defeated nor wanted to take the blame for Luo Qingning next year.

"The Volt Spirit has lost its ability to fight; the winner of this match is student Li Changsheng of Yuanling Academy. Given that the entire Royal Academy team has been defeated, this round of the Finals is won by Yuanling Academy. Let us congratulate Yuanling Academy for becoming the overall champion of this year's Academy Exchange Tournament!!"

After confirming the Volt Spirit's status, the head referee announced the final result of the match loudly.

Clatter, clatter, clatter—

At this moment, countless spectators stood up spontaneously, sincerely offering applause and cheers for Li Changsheng and Yuanling Academy.

In this round of the Finals, Li Changsheng's performance could no longer be described as stunning; as a mere Second Grade student, he had successively defeated the Royal Academy's Fourth Rank student Dou Niwan, Fifth Rank student Dou Yuansheng, and Sixth Rank student Dou Yuanhua. These three were either princes or princesses, and their strength was significantly higher than other Stronger individuals of the same rank, yet they had become just a part of Li Changsheng's many battle records, which was a first in the history of the Academy Exchange Tournament.

Most importantly, Yuanling Academy had made history, surpassing the Royal Academy for the first time—and it was the Royal Academy that Luo Qingning had called the strongest in history—to claim the title of the number one Academy.

The value of this achievement was simply top-notch!

Today's goal: three, pigs, proof!
