Chapter 62: The Divine Pet Died! And This Is Still Within the Controllable Range!?

Almost everyone believed that Lu Zheng had already reached his limit. The nine-headed bird had already had two of its heads torn off by the Flame Demon King, and it could be said that it was visibly about to be killed.

Once his divine pet was killed, Lu Zheng, as a summoner, would certainly be even less of a match and could only die there.

People left messages online en masse, urging officials to intervene as quickly as possible to help, not allowing such a prodigy to perish on the college entrance examination battlefield.

Whose college entrance exam requires students to kill a Saint-level dungeon boss? Is this reasonable?! And facing Lin Shuhua's agitation, Xue Mingzhen instead smiled cheerfully at Lu Zheng in the footage and replied, "He isn't even panicking, so why are you panicking!?"

These words made Lin Shuhua freeze for a moment, and she subconsciously looked toward Lu Zheng in the footage, only to see him quietly watching his summoned beast fight to the death with the Flame Demon King, as if he didn't care about this matter at all—or perhaps, all of this was still within his control? Xue Mingzhen continued, "Don't forget, he still has another divine pet he hasn't released. If it truly comes to a moment of crisis, he will definitely release that divine pet. Back then he could kill a level 350 projection of the Fire God, and now it's merely a level 350 Flame Demon King—how could he not be able to kill it?"

Lin Shuhua thought about it and felt it made quite a bit of sense, but she still said worriedly, "But that second divine pet is, after all, only our speculation—none of us has ever seen it. What if he has no other trump cards left? Losing a divine pet would be no small blow to the Alliance!"

"Haha! You're so concerned that you're losing your head! Doesn't this kid care about his own divine pet more than you do? For so long after awakening, he kept the divine pet hidden, and now he voluntarily releases it on the day of the college entrance exam—could it be just to let us watch the divine pet get killed? Rest assured and wait, let's see what plan he actually has."

Xue Mingzhen waved his hand, telling Lin Shuhua to sit back down and keep watching, and at this time, the Nine-Headed Undying Bird was already down to only one head.

Under such ferocious close combat, the Flame Demon King's HP had also dropped to over six million five hundred thousand.

Jun Yin and the others had already evacuated the Demon Domain dungeon. At the first moment the Flame Demon King appeared, they were notified to evacuate immediately. Only Lu Zheng's side received no notification, because from the very beginning the officials wanted to see what Lu Zheng looked like when exerting Saint-level combat power.

Now it was already too late to have him withdraw! Outside the Demon Domain, the students who had come out gathered together, watching the battle scenes inside through the accompanying mages' equipment.

When they saw that the Nine-Headed Undying Bird had only one head left, Jun Yin couldn't help but speak up:

"Why hasn't the official side come yet? The Imperial Capital's ten Saint-level guardians—does not a single one have time? Aren't there dedicated Saint-level guardians responsible for watching over the examination grounds—are they really just going to watch a divine pet get killed? This is future demigod-level combat power, how can they just watch it die!"

Ji Zirou frowned and said, "The officials definitely have more foresight than we do. If the situation truly deteriorates to an uncontrollable point, they won't fail to intervene. The fact that they haven't intervened now means that in their view, everything is still within Lu Zheng's range of control."

"The divine pet is dead! And this is still within the controllable range!?"

Duanmu Lin looked at the completely dead Nine-Headed Undying Bird in the footage and couldn't help but let out a sharp shriek.

As an imperial youth who had received elite education from childhood, he held an incomparably firm conviction in Great Xia, but sitting by and watching a divine pet get killed—this kind of thing nearly caused his conviction to collapse.

He was unwilling to believe that the upper echelon of Great Xia would be so short-sighted!

Also letting out a sharp shriek was Lin Shuhua in the viewing hall, her voice somewhat trembling.

"If the Venerable One knew that we watched a divine pet perish in a dungeon with our own eyes, he would certainly be extremely furious!"

Watching the genuinely dead nine-headed bird in the footage, Xue Mingzhen also couldn't help but furrow his brow. He had originally thought Lu Zheng would have some kind of action next, such as summoning the second divine pet to launch a surprise attack on the Flame Demon King.

As a result, Lu Zheng just watched the nine-headed bird get torn apart bit by bit by the Flame Demon King! This shouldn't be! How could he allow his own divine pet to be killed!? Just as everyone was grieving over the fall of the divine pet, the Nine-Headed Undying Bird's passive skill 'Nirvana Rebirth' triggered. A mass of netherworld flame grew larger and larger, continuously gathering the surrounding flame energy, gradually becoming a giant fireball over thirty meters in diameter.

Suddenly, a cry rang out, and in the next moment, the Nine-Headed Undying Bird's form manifested from within it.

After rebirth, all attributes doubled, mana and various other attributes restored, and at this time, Lu Zheng's mana was also restored. Two beams of profound ice spirit light struck the Flame Demon King squarely!

Frozen, controlled.

A crack appeared in the sky, and a massive black scythe over one hundred fifty meters long formed, instantly descending as if to cleave the Flame Demon King in two with a single strike.

But at this time it was still within the Dark Prison, and the Flame Demon King broke free of the control at the critical moment. This blade landed on its shoulder, directly severing one of its arms, directly deducting two million of its HP, and the terrifying Power of Death continuously caused corrosion effects!

And in the next moment, Lu Zheng once again joined forces with the Cloud-Striding Crane to release Cloud Burst Art. With a booming explosion, it dealt another one million five hundred thousand damage, and moreover, the Flame Demon King's other arm was also blasted to pieces.

At this point the Flame Demon King's HP was already under three million. Although within the Dark Prison it could continuously regenerate HP, the corrosion of the Power of Death and the damage from the Undying Sea of Fire meant its HP could only barely maintain itself from dropping further.

The key point was that this fellow's defense had basically been completely broken through, making it very easy to deal true damage to it.

The Nine-Headed Undying Bird suddenly retracted the Undying Sea of Fire skill effect, and in the next moment, giant waves nearly a hundred meters tall suddenly surged up all around, almost instantly submerging the Flame Demon King and continuously dealing impact damage to it.

This was the large-scale skill 'Raging Sea Wild Waves' of the three-star immortal-grade spirit pet Twin-Headed Profound Ice Flood Dragon. Cast in this kind of place, its power was clearly insufficient, only dealing over a hundred thousand damage to the Flame Demon King, but that was enough.

Because this skill was never meant for outputting damage in the first place, but for changing the environment.

After Raging Sea Wild Waves was released, the next second, the four-star immortal-grade spirit pet Six-Winged Frost Centipede released the skill Freeze a Thousand Miles.

In an instant, the water surface froze, and half of the Flame Demon King's body was frozen in the water. Its upper body above the water surface was also covered with a layer of frost, once again causing a freeze effect! Freeze a Thousand Miles is a super-large-scale skill with insufficient single-target control power, so it was necessary to let the Twin-Headed Profound Ice Flood Dragon change the environment first, creating a large body of water, and then use it to directly freeze the Flame Demon King.

Large-scale skills consumed extremely large amounts of mana, and with the influence of the Undying Sea of Fire earlier, they couldn't be stacked and released like this.

But now was the final moment of conclusion. The Nine-Headed Undying Bird had no mana left, and its attack power was insufficient to kill the Flame Demon King. Moreover, after rebirth its level returned to one, so completing the final kill would be meaningless, a waste of experience points.

It would be better to let the other summoned beasts use this opportunity to raise their levels!

Next was the moment to witness a miracle.

The real damage dealer—it's your turn! (End of this chapter)
