Northern Abyss Mystic Turtle (Please Follow!)

The Thunder Tiger Lion threw back its head and roared the moment it appeared, then glared fiercely at its opponent.

"Eeya!" (What a noisy guy!)

Color Spirit coiled her long body together, then shook her head in annoyance.

Was a battle decided by whoever had the louder voice? Strength was what truly spoke!

"A clash of dragon and tiger! Another powerful rare pet beast has appeared on the field: the Cold Jade Snake! Can it end the Thunder Tiger Lion's winning streak?" the host immediately announced in a loud voice.

"Use Polar Ice," Chen Wei ordered.

Streams of white light suddenly spread around Color Spirit. Centered on her, a vast amount of cold air rapidly diffused across the battle platform, while its ground was gradually covered in snow-white ice.

Meng Haoge said, "Thunderclap Flash—interrupt it."

He would not let his opponent establish her home-field environment so easily.

A savage glint flashed through the Thunder Tiger Lion's eyes. It stomped hard with both feet and leaped into the air, transforming into a blinding bolt of lightning as it charged viciously at the Cold Jade Snake.

"Ice Concealment."

A pale blue halo immediately lit up across Color Spirit's crystalline body. Then, her body rapidly merged with the vast ice she had created, vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Shattered ice burst up from where Color Spirit had been standing, and dust and smoke spread in every direction. Realizing its attack had missed, the Thunder Tiger Lion swept its imposing gaze over the surroundings.

"Trying to create favorable terrain and slowly wear my Thunder Tiger Lion to death?"

A confident smile appeared on Meng Haoge's face. "Thunder Spirit Transformation!"

The Thunder Tiger Lion stood in place and let out a furious roar. Dazzling currents of electricity erupted all over its body as it felt immense lightning-element power continuously surge forth from within.

"Cold Breath!"

Chen Wei would not allow his opponent to strengthen itself unchecked.

Color Spirit's body suddenly appeared. Looking at the Thunder Tiger Lion gathering power not far away, she spat out a frigid blue beam of extreme cold, swiftly freezing it into a massive tiger-lion ice sculpture before violently detonating it.

Meng Haoge clenched his fists, no hesitation in his eyes as he shouted, "Raging Thunder Roar—shatter it!"

Raging Thunder Roar was a lightning-element skill with an enormous attack radius. Especially on a battle platform, it could practically cover the entire field.

A golden figure suddenly burst from the smoke and dust—it was the Thunder Tiger Lion, its fur covered in frost and its body riddled with frostbite.

At this moment, it opened its bloody maw wide, its chest swelling high as an immense amount of lightning-element source energy gathered in its mouth. A trace of determination flashed in its eyes.

Rumble!

A massive flood of electricity erupted in an instant. While crushing the ice-element field Color Spirit had painstakingly established, it continued sweeping across the entire battle platform, triggering violent shockwaves that sent huge amounts of shattered ice and smoke billowing up.

"Thunder Tiger Lion! Thunder Tiger Lion!"

"Invincible! So domineering!"

"So strong! I told you no one could defeat it!!!"

At the same time, another wave of fervent cheers rose from the audience stands.

"No way! Could the Cold Jade Snake, which had held a slight advantage at the start, really be going down just like this?" The host spoke with a face full of disbelief.

Having just finished its attack, the Thunder Tiger Lion had its tongue hanging out as it panted heavily, its entire body trembling.

It believed that at the same level, no pet beast could continue fighting after that strike.

It would claim victory once again!

Meng Haoge stared fixedly into the smoke and dust. As long as the battle was not over, he would not lower his guard.

Yet a faint smile rested on Chen Wei's lips. Watching the slowly rising smoke, he sent a mental command.

"Finish it with consecutive Cold Breaths."

"Eeya." (Okay.)

Color Spirit promptly responded to Chen Wei from within the smoke.

Three bone-piercing beams of extreme frost shot out from the smoke in rapid succession, striking the Thunder Tiger Lion's face, which was full of unwillingness.

Accompanied by a thunderous boom.

The Thunder Tiger Lion collapsed directly to the ground in an awkward pose, its entire body still covered in snow-white frost.

Seeing this, the referee sharply blew his whistle before loudly announcing, "The winner: Chen Wei."

"Lost, huh? Looks like our training still isn't enough!"

Meng Haoge's body stiffened slightly as he murmured in disappointment, but he quickly ran toward the Thunder Tiger Lion, frozen into a block of ice.

"But what did winning or losing matter compared to the Thunder Tiger Lion's body?"

"The loser exits, the winner takes the stage! Let us welcome the new champion, Chen Wei!" the host shouted hoarsely.

"Ah... Cold Jade Snake, you're the best!" A girl in the stands shouted with all her might.

"What a blood-boiling battle! I thought the Thunder Tiger Lion had won!"

"Who didn't? But this Cold Jade Snake is seriously powerful. Why have I never seen a pet beast like this before?"

"Our Water Mountain City hasn't had a Beast Master contract a pet beast like this in years. It's normal that you haven't seen one. I nearly succeeded back then!"

"??? Nearly? Or nearly by a hundred million miles?"

"..."

"What a fine opponent! Too bad this is already your eighth battle."

Chen Wei, resting backstage, shook his head, feeling that his victory had been somewhat unfair.

Although even if the Thunder Tiger Lion had not expended any stamina and fought Color Spirit again at its peak, the outcome between them would not have changed in the slightest, Chen Wei still found it rather regrettable.

I hope the second opponent can be a little stronger! Chen Wei thought expectantly.

Chen Wei stroked Color Spirit's head and said with a smile, "I'm counting on you next!"

"Yiyi yaya!" (▽｀) (I could take ten more like that one!)

Color Spirit raised its head and straightened up, projecting its thoughts with utter confidence.

A smile immediately appeared on Chen Wei's face. "Of course, my trump card!"

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Wei stood on the battle platform, waiting for the giant screen above the arena to select the next challenger.

Next: [Challenger: No. 0131 Bai Yi]

Before long, a short, chubby youth jogged onto the battle platform.

Referee: "Battle begin."

The Star Ring on Chen Wei's hand flashed, and Color Spirit's figure swiftly appeared before him.

Meanwhile, Beast Master Bai Yi, standing some distance away, seemed to have run into some trouble and fumbled about in a flurry.

Only a few seconds later did he summon a turtle that was entirely black, its shell marked with orderly white patterns.

Chen Wei smiled helplessly at the sight and directly used Appraisal.

This was the first time he had seen a Beast Master pairing with such low compatibility.

[Pet Beast Name]: Mystic Spirit Turtle

[Pet Beast Attribute]: Water

[Species Level]: High Extraordinary

[Strength Level]: Juvenile Level 7

[Species Skills]: Water Control, Longevity, Bite, Shell Shield

[Pet Beast Potential]: Yellow Rank, Middle Grade

[Introduction]: A spirit turtle particularly adept at defense. It possesses fairly good affinity with water-source energy and can control water currents. It is said that this type of pet beast has an extremely low chance of being an ancient descendant of the King-level pet beast, the Northern Abyss Mystic Turtle.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei looked in surprise at the motionless black turtle in the distance.

"This cute little thing can actually be a descendant of a King-level pet beast?"
