Two Beasts Battle

The tornado that rose from Bao Bao's palm instantly expanded and rolled outwards like crazy the moment it left her hand, with the air currents howling and swirling. In the blink of an eye, it had risen from the ground and condensed into a ferocious wind pillar more than ten feet high.

Behind them, Xiao Fan, Zhou He, and the other Dragon Nation players stood not far away. A gale, mixed with sharp air currents, rushed towards them, and the heavy wind pressure pressed down on everyone. They could clearly feel the powerful force of the gale tearing their skin.

Strangely, even though the tornado was incredibly powerful and everyone was within its range, it was as if they were wrapped in an invisible barrier. No one was blown away or pulled away by the raging wind, and no one was sucked into the tornado.

The only sound in the entire pool area was the howling wind. In the dead silence, Bao Bao's cold voice suddenly pierced through the wind and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Wild Roll."

As the word fell, the force of the giant tornado's high-speed rotation suddenly surged.

The cold-glowing water blades that the Fairy Fish had just shot out in mid-air were all firmly locked by the gale and pulled into the depths of the wind column by the swirling airflow. Not a single one was missed, not even the smallest droplets of water could escape.

Finally, it was torn apart by the violent airflow, turning into countless tiny water droplets that instantly dissolved within the rolling tornado, leaving not a trace.

"This... this is impossible..."

The Fairy Fish's enormous body froze on the edge of the Blue Stone. Its lifeless eyes were suddenly covered with dense, hideous red blood vessels. Its face, which was already strange and terrifying due to its failed transformation, was now even more ugly and disgusting.

She never expected that the tornado unleashed by Bao Bao would have such terrifying crushing power, easily neutralizing her water-based killing move.

Bao Bao glanced sideways at the Fairy Fish opposite him, a cold, arrogant smile curving his lips, his tone full of disdain.

"You really think you can defeat me with such meager skills? Ugly Fish, today I'll show you just how vast the difference in strength truly is between a successfully transformed Magic Beast and a useless piece of trash like you who failed at transformation."

A conquering desire, innate to high-level Magic Beast, surged in the Bao Bao's eyes.

Prior to this, Bao Bao had harbored the idea of fighting the Fairy Fish. This idea had nothing to do with grudges or hatred; it was simply etched deep in his blood.

Driven by her Magic Beast instinct to prey on the weak, she wanted to completely subdue the Fairy Fish.

After all, the Fairy Fish is the only Neutral Magic Beast Magic Beast that, like her, has cultivated to the point of human form.

Even if she fails, Bao Bao still wants to compete with him to see who is stronger.

The Monster Treaty only explicitly prohibits the indiscriminate slaughter of humans, but it has never restricted the battles and killings between Magic Beast.

She had been holding back and refusing to take action because there were still several Neutral Magic Beast in the transition zone.

If she and the Fairy Fish were to fight and both were severely injured, it would give other lurking Magic Beast beasts an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, ultimately allowing others to reap the benefits, which would be a loss for them.

But things are different now; Bao Bao has no more worries in his heart.

She has now acknowledged Xiao Fan as her master. Although her master's strength is not great, he has a contracted Pure-Blood Magic Beast Zijin.

With Zijin backing her up, even if she gets injured during her fight with the Fairy Fish, she will never be able to be ambushed.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Bao Bao dares to compete with Fairy Fish today without any scruples.

Thinking about this, Bao Bao even felt a touch of subtle emotion.

Previously, she was full of resistance to becoming a human's contracted mount, but now it seems that this kind of constraint has given her the means to fight as she pleases, so it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Hehehe--

A wicked, sinister laugh emanated from Bao Bao's throat—the classic laugh of a villain.

Bao Bao suddenly raised its arm and swung it forward, its clear shout echoing throughout the water:

"Smash her!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a giant tornado, over ten feet tall, carrying a violent and destructive gust of air, swept fiercely toward the Fairy Fish in the center of the pool.

As they passed the pool, they stirred up countless waves.

As the saying goes, "Wind Rises Water Flows together," and the tornado, carrying waves of water, is incredibly powerful.

The devastating tornado that rushed towards her made the Fairy Fish's scales tremble, and her expression instantly became extremely serious.

Previously, Fairy Fish had always assumed that the Neutral Magic Beast in the transition zone were roughly equal in strength, thus maintaining a balance between them.

But the approaching tornado filled her with an unprecedented sense of deadly crisis.

Without daring to be negligent in the slightest, the Fairy Fish suddenly raised its thick, massive tail and slammed it heavily into the large pool of water beneath it!

Boom--

With a loud bang, huge waves surged into the sky from the pool. The water splashing everywhere did not scatter and fall, but instead seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, all of it surrounding the Fairy Fish.

The rapid cooling and freezing created layers of thick, solid ice that instantly enveloped her enormous body within a perfectly round, heavy ice sphere, shielding her from the fierce winds outside.

Bao Bao gazed at the layer of shimmering white, hard ice armor that had appeared around the Fairy Fish, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I never imagined that her water-based powers had transformed into mutated ice elemental power."

Ice element is a high-level mutated form of water element. Ordinary water-type Magic Beast have a very small chance of transforming into ice form if they cultivate their original element to the Heaven Rank.

Ice is several times more powerful than ordinary water elements.

It not only fully inherits all the characteristics of water-based softening, Entangle, and ranged attacks, but also additionally develops two lethal characteristics: the hardness and weight of ice, and the sharpness and piercing edge of ice blades.

It possesses both offensive and defensive capabilities, and its deterrent power far surpasses that of ordinary water elements.

Previously, Bao Bao had always thought that after the Fairy Fish failed to transform into human form, her spirit collapsed and she no longer had the will to cultivate her original power. She spent her days alone in the depths of this pool, looking depressed and lonely.

Only after witnessing the appearance of the ice elemental shield today did she realize that she had underestimated it.

"This ugly fish has been secretly cultivating and improving all along, even mastering the rare ice element. Luckily, she came with her master this time; if she had missed today, she might never have discovered her hidden trump card."

Bao Bao silently reviewed the situation in his mind, his thoughts racing, but his face remained calm and indifferent, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

In terms of both background and methods, Bao Bao has never been an ordinary Magic Beast that can be easily manipulated.

The raging tornado continued to approach, the ice ball gleaming coldly; a direct confrontation between the two Neutral Magic Beast was imminent.

The Hei Mi Rescue Team members, along with all the survivors who had been abducted by the Fairy Fish, were now all in the heart of the battlefield.

It wasn't until they witnessed this epic battle firsthand that they truly understood the immense power gap between ordinary players and high-level Magic Beast.

That's a gap that can never be overcome by effort alone.

The Fairy Fish's endless stream of powerful skills has repeatedly overturned everyone's understanding. Whether it was the Water Prison that had previously imprisoned her, the sharp and deadly water blades, or the unyielding ice shield that stood firmly in place at this moment, each move far exceeded their preconceived notions of game skills.

Meanwhile, the terrifying tornado unleashed by Bao Bao beside them carried a devastating force, with howling winds and exploding air currents, completely shattering the horizons of these players.

If they hadn't stood on this battlefield themselves, they would never have believed that the skills in the game could be so incredibly powerful.

The thought that they had previously dared to presume to hunt high-level Magic Beast now seemed utterly ridiculous, like ants craning their necks to try and touch the Azure Heaven —insignificant and absurd.

If any of them were to be caught in this raging tornado, they would be instantly torn apart by the violent elemental forces...

Wait, a tornado?

All the players suddenly snapped back to reality, their eyes filled with extreme fear; they were still in front of the Fairy Fish.

"Run!"

With a shout, the players' limbs went weak, and they scrambled and crawled away, trying to get as far away from the center of the tornado that could devour everything, fearing they would be caught in this terrifying battle.

Fairy Fish completely ignored the fleeing human players, including Hei Mi.

In her eyes, these weak humans were insignificant and not worth her attention at all. At this moment, all her attention was fixed on the Bao Bao opposite her.

Looking at the Bao Bao's calm and confident demeanor in the distance, and feeling the terrifying power of the tornado rising higher and higher, a trace of unease and hesitation quietly welled up in the Fairy Fish's heart.

"Can my ice shield really withstand such a powerful tornado?" the Fairy Fish asked with some concern.

Only she knew in her heart that her trump card had a major weakness.

The water element in her body had recently mutated into a rare ice element. She had only been cultivating for a very short time, so her control over the ice element was extremely unfamiliar, and she was not proficient in using various ice skills.

Now, facing a high-level Magic Beast like Bao Bao, which has already achieved perfect human form and possesses formidable strength, she has no confidence whatsoever in withstanding its fierce attack.

But now, she has no way out and no other choice.

Bao Bao's guess was entirely correct.

If Magic Beast attempts to transform into human form but fails, the damage to its physical form is only the minor consequence. The truly fatal damage is the significant regression in the Magic Beast's cultivation level and the severe injury caused by the backlash from the berserk elements.

Fortunately for the Fairy Fish, the terrible elemental backlash turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The water element in her body unexpectedly mutated into the extremely rare ice element, which made up for some of the losses from the failed transformation.

However, due to the failure to transform and the regression in her cultivation level, coupled with the hidden dangers left by the elemental backlash, her current true combat strength is not even comparable to her peak state before attempting to transform and undergo the Lightning Tribulation.

The Fairy Fish was in turmoil, with various worries churning within her.

At that moment, a giant tornado sweeping across the sky, carrying with it a fierce wind and sharp energy, hurtled towards her, and an immense sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire area.

There's no turning back; we have no choice but to fight.

The Fairy Fish's gaze sharpened, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

She tensed every nerve in her body, bracing herself against the approaching tornado. She exerted all her strength to mobilize the meager ice element within her body, continuously pouring it into the icy shield in front of her, making the crystal-clear ice wall thicker and stronger.

She had only one thought in her mind: to grit her teeth and withstand this fatal blow.

"I can't lose."

The Fairy Fish gritted her teeth as she watched the tornado draw ever closer.

A deafening gale swept past, and a giant tornado swept right across the spot where the players who had joined forces for the rescue were standing.

The expected devouring and tearing did not occur. The raging Wind Blade and violent air currents seemed to have a precise target, and did not harm any of the players around them.

Witnessing this thrilling scene, the players of the Hei Mi and other United Rescue Team felt their hearts, which had been hanging in mid-air, instantly fall to the ground. Their tense bodies suddenly relaxed, and they breathed a long sigh of relief despite being drenched in cold sweat.

"Great! This tornado won't hurt us!"

A sense of relief at surviving the ordeal swept through the entire area. Everyone completely let go of their fear and unease, and even stopped their escape, unable to resist turning back to look at the center of the battlefield.

They eagerly awaited to see if this powerful tornado could break through the Fairy Fish's icy shield.

"We must win, Tornado!"

This is the unanimous expectation in the hearts of all players on the Blue Stone platform.

Although they did not know the true identity of the powerful figure who controlled the tornado, he had come with Zhou He and other players from the Dragon Nation, so they naturally assumed that he was a player from the Dragon Nation.

No, they're the players on their Blue Star Server.

As fellow players on the Blue Star Server, they naturally hoped that their "own people" could win when they were in dire straits.

Only if the opposing team wins this match will these ordinary players, captured by the Fairy Fish, have a sliver of hope to survive.

"We wonder who this powerful player from Dragon Nation is. We've never heard of someone this strong before."

Everyone thought of it at the same time.

Bao Bao perfectly transformed into human form, concealing her aura to the extreme, making it impossible for anyone to discern her true Magic Beast form.

Therefore, the players in the United Rescue Team naturally regarded this incredibly powerful individual as a top-tier human player hidden away in the Dragon Nation.

Hei Mi, the White Nation Youth, and the two leaders of Mirror City were all deeply shaken, their hearts filled with shock and apprehension.

The Dragon Nation's resources are truly terrifying; it is indeed a land of hidden talents and unfathomable depths!

Jiu Chen, who appeared out of nowhere and amazed the entire server, was already incredibly powerful. Now, another ruthless person with terrifying strength has emerged, capable of fighting against high-level Magic Beast.

No one knows how many unparalleled masters are still hidden in the low-key and reserved Dragon Nation!

Ironically, they previously thought that the Dragon Nation wanted to weaken other forces by preventing them from providing aid, thereby dominating the <Cloud Sea> game.

Looking at it now, haha.

Putting everything else aside, this powerful individual who unleashed the tornado could wipe them out single-handedly.

"It seems we need to reconsider our previous plans."

At that moment, everyone thought of the same thing.

Click--

Before everyone's eyes, Bao Bao's tornado finally collided with the ice shield enveloping Fairy Fish.

With a crisp cracking sound, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
