Chapter 200 - 144: Becoming an Outstanding Beastmaster Like Advisor Chen
The awakened Snow Cloud Wolf was already very angry, and seeing the Flame Cloud Falcon charging straight at it, it was instantly furious.
As the gap between them quickly closed, it tensed its body, and at the moment when the firelight engulfed its entire field of vision, it twisted and dodged, the scorching flames brushing past its thick fur, narrowly avoiding this deadly attack.
"Awoo!"
Having dodged the attack, the Snow Cloud Wolf did not retreat but advanced, leaping forward to close the gap, raising its sharp claws high, and swinging the cold-filled Ice-Split Claws at the Flame Cloud Falcon before it!
"Chirp~"
The Flame Cloud Falcon gazed disdainfully, neither avoiding nor retreating, and swung its wings, where the Flame Stream surged, colliding head-on with the Ice-Split Claws!
Boom!
The two Pet Beasts clashed fiercely at this moment, their eyes locking onto each other, cold currents surging, and firelight blazing, creating a shocking scene that made the students outside the fence exclaim repeatedly.
"They’re fighting!"
"Go, Flame Cloud Falcon!"
"If only I could contract such a powerful Flame Cloud Falcon."
"Who is stronger, this Flame Cloud Falcon or Advisor Chen’s Flame Cloud Falcon?"
After a direct confrontation, the Snow Cloud Wolf’s body was pushed back uncontrollably, its sharp claws plowing furrows in the ground, but it quickly responded, its bristling fur flying wildly, transforming into icy spikes that shot out!
The Flame Cloud Falcon opened its mouth and unleashed a surging flame pillar, melting all the ice spikes as it flew forward, the Flame Energy Assault causing its momentum to soar, instantly closing in on the Snow Cloud Wolf.
"Awoo!"
The Snow Cloud Wolf was tense, feeling the overwhelming pressure, suddenly raising its head to roar, whipping up a fierce Cold Breath that spread rapidly in all directions.
The wind and snow followed, sweeping across most of the venue.
The Snow Cloud Wolf dived into the fierce wind and snow, its figure disappearing with it.
"Cold Breath." Liu Zhihao softly uttered the name of this skill, and then his eyes flickered as he pondered how he would direct the Snow Cloud Wolf to victory if he were its Beastmaster.
But soon, his expression changed slightly, and he shook his head.
The attribute restraint coupled with its inability to fly made it particularly difficult for the Snow Cloud Wolf to face the Flame Cloud Falcon, leaving almost no means of victory.
"Unless....."
"Unless the Snow Cloud Wolf can jump onto the Flame Cloud Falcon’s back, that’s the only way to win," he murmured softly.
"Chirp!"
The fierce wind and snow slapped against his cheeks, blowing across his entire body, obscuring his vision, but the Flame Cloud Falcon remained unfazed, its body burning with Flame Stream as it soared in mid-air, the surging flames dispelling all the surrounding wind and snow.
Despite the heavy wind and snow, it could not stop the Flame Cloud Falcon.
With sharp eyes searching all around, the Flame Cloud Falcon quickly spotted the Snow Cloud Wolf lurking within the wind and snow, biding its time, folding its wings, the Flame Stream surging, plunging down at an astonishing speed!
This time, the Snow Cloud Wolf had nowhere to hide.
Amidst the students’ exclaims, the Snow Cloud Wolf was forced to confront it, its massive size being easily knocked away by the Flame Cloud Falcon, the burning Flame Stream spreading over its entire body, and after a while, it fell heavily to the ground.
Bang!
The Snow Cloud Wolf, fallen to the ground, felt dizzy, its body engulfed in flames bringing waves of scorching pain. It wanted to get back on its feet but couldn’t manage to.
"The Flame Cloud Falcon is invincible!"
"I’ve decided, I’m going to contract a Flame Cloud Falcon and become a Beastmaster like Advisor Chen!"
"Then I’ll become a Beastmaster like Senior Brother Zhuang!"
"No worries, Senior Brother Zhuang can’t beat Advisor Chen anyway."
"They haven’t even fought, so why can’t he win?"
After the Taibai Cup ended, many Beastmasters engaged in heated discussions about who was stronger, Chen Yuan or Zhuang Jianbai. Some believed the Flame Cloud Falcon restrains the Winter Dog, giving it an advantage;
while others thought that Chen Yuan only participated in exhibition matches, whereas Zhuang Jianbai was in the official competition, which has more credibility.
But regardless, more and more young people are becoming Beastmasters, harboring dreams, attempting to be as radiant in the arena as Chen Yuan and Zhuang Jianbai.
And it all starts with contracting their first Pet Beast.
Liu Zhihao did not join in on this debate; he simply clenched his fists silently and stared intently at the fallen Snow Cloud Wolf, replaying the battle scenes in his mind, trying to find the reason for its defeat.
If...if he were the Snow Cloud Wolf’s Beastmaster, he could surely do better.
"Chirp!"
The Flame Cloud Falcon glanced at the excited children, then spread its wings and took flight, chirping loudly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Li Qian calmed the students down and said loudly, "Students, it’s now time for free activities."
"Please choose a suitable Pet Beast yourself, and if you’re interested in one, please contact the nearest staff member."
"Please note that contracting a Pet Beast is mutual; you need to choose it, and it has to choose to go with you as well."
With those words, the excited students dispersed.
As imposing and majestic as the Tier Two Snow Cloud Wolf was, it was not something they could handle right now.
Moreover...this Snow Cloud Wolf had just been given a good beating by the Flame Cloud Falcon.
Only Liu Zhihao remained at the front of the fence, his eyes fixed on the Snow Cloud Wolf, observing its form, studying its movements, constantly muttering, "If I could just capture this Snow Cloud Wolf..."
"Awoo!"
Seeing a little guy who hadn’t left, staring at it persistently instead, the Snow Cloud Wolf became irritated and let out a series of roars.
But this did not scare Liu Zhihao; his expression grew more excited: "The Snow Cloud Wolf is indeed the most dashing Pet Beast in the world."
After a long while,
"Excuse me, where’s the bathroom?" Having drunk too much water that morning, Liu Zhihao found a staff member and inquired.
"Go to the end of this corridor, then turn left."
"Thank you."
Liu Zhihao stepped into the corridor, his eyes on the ground as he muttered continuously, "How can the Snow Cloud Wolf defeat the Flame Cloud Falcon?"
