Chapter 654: Ancestor Thunderbird Bloodline (First update, requesting everything)

As the ten-second observation period was about to end, the Turning Rivers and Seas trait of Leviathan and Datou began to activate.

The Water Field began to turn rivers and seas, whipping up countless surging waves, while a large number of whirlpools and undercurrents emerged beneath the water.

At the same time, heavy rain poured down, increasing the power of Water Attribute skills while simultaneously weakening the power of Fire Element skills.

Immediately, Datou surfaced a giant fin seven or eight meters long and charged toward Leviathan at high speed.

Roar—!

Leviathan let out an angry roar; due to the massive disparity in size, it knew clearly that it was no match for Datou and had to avoid the keen edge of the enemy, adopting a circuitous tactic.

Datou struck empty air, but to Leviathan's surprise, Datou was extremely agile in the water; with a flick of its giant tail, it completed a turn and continued to pounce toward it.

Although Leviathan was fast and equally agile underwater, it dodged left and right, trying its best to avoid a head-on collision with Datou while waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Soon, Leviathan found itself with nowhere to hide; under Datou's conscious guidance, it had been driven into a corner of the Water Field.

Datou charged head-on once more; Leviathan had no choice but to brace itself, its body wrapped in rushing currents, which increased its impact force by a notch, and in an instant, it collided with Datou.

Boom—!

Even with the collision occurring underwater, the nearby spectators still heard a muffled thud, seeing the two behemoths crash together and separate at the slightest touch.

The moment Leviathan and Datou collided, it felt an irresistible giant force surge from in front, causing it to fly backward uncontrollably and slam hard against the sturdy wall.

Compared to the venue for the Academy Exchange Tournament, the venue for the National Tournament had clearly been reinforced and even carried defensive Restrictions.

Even so, the Restriction still fluctuated violently from Leviathan's impact, barely neutralizing the impact force attached to Leviathan's body.

From this impact, Leviathan felt a sense of dizziness in its head, and blood even flowed from the corner of its mouth; just a single strike had caused it a moderate injury.

Compared to Leviathan, Datou suffered almost no damage, and the gap between the two was clear at a glance.

Datou did not let go of the idea of beating a fish that had fallen into the water; it opened its mouth and spat out a thick Water Column, rushing head-on toward Leviathan.

Leviathan only had time to cast Water Curtain Technique before being hit by the Water Column.

Under the powerful impact force carried by the Water Column, the Water Curtain Technique twisted violently and was broken through in the blink of an eye.

The Water Column, its momentum only slightly reduced, smashed head-on into Leviathan, causing it to slam into the wall behind it once again.

Without giving Leviathan time to catch its breath, Datou charged over again; Leviathan's ferocity was ignited, and it opened its mouth to bite at Datou.

Leviathan's teeth were interlocked, looking exceptionally terrifying, giving one the feeling of a meat grinder.

Unfortunately, Datou's agility exceeded Leviathan's expectations; the moment it was about to be bitten by Leviathan, it flicked its giant tail, the underwater currents surged, and it quickly completed a turn, avoiding Leviathan's counterattack by a hair's breadth.

Just as Datou completed its turn, its giant tail flicked again; caught off guard, Leviathan was struck hard by the giant tail, slamming it against the wall once more.

Crack—! Crash—!

This time, the Restriction attached to the wall could no longer hold, and it was directly shattered; the wall behind was even collapsed in one corner by Leviathan's impact, submerging a small half of Leviathan's body.

After doing this, Datou did not continue to attack, because Leviathan had already lost its ability to fight.

"Leviathan has lost the ability to fight, please have contestant Qin Kun switch to the next Demon Pet!"

After confirming Leviathan's status, the referee immediately made the announcement.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

It was also at this moment that the spectators supporting Li Zhangsheng were greatly encouraged, letting out astonishing cheers and shouting even harder to cheer for Li Zhangsheng, their momentum completely suppressing Qin Kun's supporters.

Qin Kun withdrew Leviathan and could not help but take a deep breath; he had thought Li Zhangsheng was strong, but he had not expected him to be this strong, defeating his Leviathan in just a few moves.

Under the referee's reminder, Qin Kun began to summon his next Demon Pet.

Accompanied by the emergence of a Blood-colored Hexagram, a Thunder Bird with a wingspan of over ten meters appeared on the field.

This was a golden Thunder Bird, its feathers quite sharp, giving one a hedgehog-like feeling.

The Thunder Bird possessed balanced offense and defense, excellent speed, and stamina, leading Monster Tamers to rate it very highly.

Additionally, the Thunder Bird had the two major traits of Static Electricity and Sharp Spikes; as long as it suffered a close-range physical attack, the opponent not only risked falling into a state of Paralysis but would also suffer counter-damage.

Before the ten-second observation period passed, Li Zhangsheng successfully obtained the Thunder Bird's data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Thunder Bird (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Low-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top-Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Ancestor Thunderbird (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Thunder Attribute

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Ice

This was a top-grade Thunder Bird; although its race was inferior to Leviathan's, its strength was certainly more powerful, and the key was that water conducts electricity, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the damage to Datou.

Even if it successfully avoided the lightning, as long as the distance was not too far, it would still suffer a certain amount of damage, and if unlucky, it would also fall into a state of Paralysis.

Soon, the ten-second observation period passed.

In the sky, the Thunder Bird took the initiative; its whole body flickered with rich silver electric currents, and under its powerful control, a lightning beam as thick as a water vat rushed toward Datou underwater.

If it were just an ordinary Giant Whale Kun, it might feel stifled facing a Thunder Bird, but Datou was clearly not.

At the critical moment, Datou leaped out of the water, and in mid-air, it was enveloped in rich white light; its appearance changed astonishingly in an instant.

In a flash, the Giant Whale Kun's head turned into a bird's head, its eyes fierce and sharp, its fat fish body became much leaner, a large number of golden feathers emerged on its skin, its fins disappeared, a pair of golden wings extended from its back, and its tail grew sharp tail feathers.

This was a golden-eyed Great Peng Bird over thirty meters long, its golden wings seemingly covering the sky and sun; the Thunder Bird was simply like an adult compared to a child in front of it.

Boom—!

The lightning beam landed on the Water Field, splashing countless water sprays, and a large amount of silver electric current surged wantonly underwater.

The moment the transformation was completed, Datou flapped its wings, seemingly turning into a golden phantom, and quickly rushed toward the Thunder Bird.

As if shifting positions, Datou appeared in front of the Thunder Bird in an instant, its sharp Bird Beak, several meters long, pecking toward its eyes.

The Thunder Bird hurriedly turned its head; although it avoided the vital point of its head, its body was still pecked by the Bird Beak, livingly pecked into a bloody hole, spraying out a large amount of silver blood.

When pecking the Thunder Bird, Datou's Bird Beak also felt a bit of pain, suffering a small amount of recoil damage, while wisps of silver electric current surged from the Bird Beak toward Datou, though Datou was not affected much.

Chirp~

The Thunder Bird let out a sharp, painful cry and raised its claws to swipe at Datou's head.

A look of mockery appeared in Datou's eyes, and before being struck by the sharp claws, he completed an evasion a step ahead.

Before the Thunder Bird could react, Datou instantly appeared above the Thunder Bird, his roc claws striking down fiercely, grabbing onto the Thunder Bird's right wing and tearing out several bloody holes.

The other roc claw grabbed the Thunder Bird's body and began to pull with force, wanting to forcibly tear off the Thunder Bird's wing.

Just as Adai likes to rip out others' hearts, the Thunder Bird is very fond of tearing off the wings of Flying Demon Pets.

In the sky, a look of panic appeared in the Thunder Bird's eyes, and it struggled with all its might.

However, the two were not proportional in size, to say nothing of their strength.

For a time, the Thunder Bird could not break free at all, and instead was pecked again by Datou's Bird Beak, which once again gouged out a bloody hole deep enough to see bone.

In just a breath or two, the Thunder Bird felt a tearing, excruciating pain surge from the base of its wing; its wing was torn open by Datou, creating a huge gap, and scalding fresh blood sprayed out wildly.

Just as Datou wanted to go a step further and tear off the wing, this time the Thunder Bird did not struggle, but instead, its whole body flashed with intense electric sparks, which surged madly toward Datou.

Suffering the Thunder Bird's Electric Shock, Datou felt his body go numb and had to release his claws, flapping his wings to put some distance between himself and the Thunder Bird.

Due to the wing injury, the Thunder Bird flew crookedly, its speed and agility clearly having been greatly affected.

Furthermore, in the entanglement just now, the Thunder Bird had suffered heavy injuries, while Datou only sustained minor ones.

Taking this opportunity, Datou immediately changed his tactics, switching from melee to ranged attacks; countless pale cyan light spots gathered rapidly, turning into Wind Blades several feet long, which slashed toward the Thunder Bird from all directions.

Due to the wing injury, the Thunder Bird could only fight head-on; enduring the excruciating pain in its wing, countless electric currents turned into beams of lightning, constantly colliding with the Wind Blades.

Unfortunately, long-term defense inevitably leads to failure, not to mention that Datou's ranged offensive was already superior to the Thunder Bird's; in the blink of an eye, several Wind Blades broke through the defense, cutting wounds of varying sizes onto the Thunder Bird's body.

In the sky, Datou continued to launch his ranged offensive; countless pale cyan light spots gathered again, this time turning into a cyan beam of light as thick as a water vat, which charged straight toward the Thunder Bird.

The Thunder Bird tried its best to dodge, but unfortunately, it lacked the strength to do so; it was instantly hit by the cyan light beam and plummeted from the sky.

At this moment, the referee's voice rang out: "The Thunder Bird has lost its combat ability; contestant Qin Kun, please switch to your next Demon Pet!"

Qin Kun's complexion was very poor; after Leviathan and the Thunder Bird were defeated in succession, he only had one Demon Pet slot left, having almost lost the possibility of turning the tide.

"Win one match, just winning one match is enough!"

Qin Kun took a deep breath; he no longer hoped to defeat Li Zhangsheng and advance to the next round, but if he couldn't even win a single match, it would be too embarrassing.

The next moment, Qin Kun suppressed the worry in his heart and summoned his last Demon Pet.

Accompanied by the emergence of a brilliant Purple Hexagram, a figure even larger than Datou appeared in the sky.

Today's goal: Three, Pigs, Verified!
