laboratory.
Yu Wan delivered the upgraded Ink Poison of the Poison King Water Devil Beast. After analyzing the effects of the Ink Poison at different temperatures, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Good!
If the infection is only localized, it shouldn't have a serious impact on July. The high temperatures in July can still destroy the active ingredients in ink toxins. Of course, there's still one situation to be wary of...
That's "Ink Sea Raging Tide," a move where the Water Devil Beast creates an ink sea that devours enemies like a tsunami.
That water flow... could flood July.
In July, even if the surrounding temperature is extremely high, it won't be able to evaporate a whole pool of ink. The large amount of ink will continuously lower its body temperature, cooling it down until the toxins take effect.
However, Luo Yu had already devised a countermeasure to this move.
"Currently, the ' Knight of Poison ' is still growing by consuming the ink of the Ink Fish, which has a high Deadly Poison talent. Once the Poison Knight reaches a higher level, we'll try using the Poison King Water Devil Beast's ink poison."
Then, various other poisons can be prepared and fed to the Knight of Poison.
For example, there's the Water Devil Beast, which possesses both Ice and Poison types, and the Fire-Poison Water Devil Beast, which possesses both Fire and Poison types... The Empress's third knight is quite fortunate, having so many Monarch Species serving her. The underground ice cave is the royal training ground.
Luo Yu brought July with him... July, with her companion Ink Fish on her head, was determined to show it her heroic figure.
"You've arrived?"
In the center of the arena, the level 11 Poison King Water Devil Beast was eating the food prepared by Yu Wan, and Yu Wan communicated with it mentally for a moment.
"Are you communicating with it using Telepathy? But isn't there something wrong with your Telepathy?" Luo Yu asked.
To the mutated beast, the information transmitted by Yu Wan through Telepathy, driven by her frenzied mental power, was just like profanity.
"It's a bit of a problem with other mutated beasts," Yu Wan said. "But the Water Devil Beast has a terrible temper and is quite rude. Surprisingly, I get along well with this kind of mutated beast..."
Therefore, Yu Wan is now increasingly looking forward to her spirit-type Water Devil Beast. "Is this what it means to find a kindred spirit in a stagnant place..." Luo Yu commented.
"What are you saying!" Yu Wan said, "Hurry up, I finally managed to persuade the Water Devil Beast to spar, but I can't guarantee that it will completely obey me during the battle, nor can I guarantee that it will remain calm throughout, so it might not go very smoothly... If there are any problems, I'll just suppress it."
"Okay." Luo Yu nodded, signaling July to get ready.
Tap tap tap... July walked to Luo Yu's side, raised the Ink Fish above her head, and gestured for Luo Yu to hold it for her first.
"Hmm," Luo Yu took and held the Ink Fish. July had already walked to the opposite side of the Water Devil Beast, observing the surrounding environment... The walls all around... ice walls, the ceiling, were also ice.
The ground is just ordinary ground.
There is no water.
Its advantage lies in this!
This is a closed ice arena with no water environment. Luo Yu specifically asked Yu Wan to bring the Water Devil Beast to this area.
Only in such a place could July have a fighting chance.
If it were at sea, July would definitely be no match for them.
With their two pets in place, Yu Wan and Luo Yu retreated to the ice platform to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"Let's make a bet, who will win?" Yu Wan suddenly said.
"?" Luo Yu was taken aback and said, "Chen Bo must have been corrupted by you."
Yu Wan said, "It has nothing to do with me... It was just a verbal bet, with no stakes."
"Do you think the Water Devil Beast will win?" Luo Yu asked. Yu Wan replied, "I think that although July is powerful, Common Species are Common Species, and Monarch Species are Monarch Species. Taking care of these two Water Devil Beast these past few days, I've become increasingly aware of the power of Monarch Species."
"I feel like even without water, July would have a hard time winning... Don't be sad if July loses."
Luo Yu chuckled, "Then you've underestimated July. On lakes and seas, you can call it Common Species, and nobody will complain."
"But on land, it wouldn't be appropriate to still call it Common Species..."
"This time you'll see July at her full power after breaking through to a higher level..."
Yu Wan: "Hmm?"
Talent can, to some extent, bridge racial disparities.
The stronger the talent, the greater the bonus to the pet; of course, the more difficult it is to develop.
For example, the "Walking Volcano" talent was barely effective for July below level 10, but now, this talent is completely different from before level 10.
On the field.
July looked at the Water Devil Beast that was more than ten meters long opposite her, and her gaze became serious. It was probably not even a fraction of the size of one of the monster's tentacles. In the wild, normal creatures would have been scared and run away long ago when faced with a monster of this size, but July did not!
Because Luo Yu told it that only by possessing the strength to suppress the Water Devil Beast could it perfectly control the fishing rod after its transformation. A fishing rod, and it's reversed?
"Hiss--Roar--" The Water Devil Beast's tentacles flailed wildly, looking at July with disdain.
An intense Sovereign's Pressure erupted naturally, sweeping across July's entire body like an inky storm, but July managed to resist it by visualizing the Water Devil Beast as a fishing rod.
Boom!
Without any Command, its battle with the Water Devil Beast began, and to prevent accidental poisoning, it entered a high-temperature state at the beginning of July.
Ley Line Resonance... geothermal conversion... in an instant, heat waves surged around it, like an invisible layer of high-temperature fire armor covering its round body.
A reddish-orange shimmer flowed along the downy fibers, and the air itself was blurred by the high temperature.
Although there were no real, violent flames, the scorching heat was undeniable.
However, the only problem is that July can't maintain this state for too long. Although it has top-tier earth fire talent, which makes it extremely heat-resistant, its Common Species body clearly still has its limits.
Call!
July arrived with a slap, and a scorching heatwave exploded out. With the movement of its limbs, the high temperature and airflow intertwined to form a heatwave that crashed into the Water Devil Beast's body!
The Water Devil Beast, with its enormous size, was like a sitting duck. Yet, with just a wave of its Water Devil Beast, it created an astonishing pressure that instantly neutralized the heat wave, forming an explosive shockwave in mid-air! "Gurgle!!!"
However, the heatwave just now was merely a test by July. It was not expected that ordinary heatwaves could harm the Monarch Species. Its true trump card was still magma.
The Power of Magma... even dragons would be injured, so severely damaging the Water Devil Beast would definitely be no problem.
In July, the Water Devil Beast unleashed a ball of magma. It still wielded a single tentacle, upon which ink condensed to form a water armor, completely protecting the tentacle. It then effortlessly lashed out at the incoming ball of magma.
Boom!!
The moment they made contact, the ink evaporated and exploded, but the lava was also drawn back by the Water Devil Beast, crashing into the ice wall like a cannonball.
Unlike the previous attack on Radiant Tide Dragon, which relied on a sneak attack, in this direct confrontation, July's magma failed to hit its target effectively and was directly blocked by the dragon...
Looking at the Water Devil Beast's tentacles, which only had some minor scratches, Yu Wan said, "See..."
"It's indeed too difficult for Common Species to defeat Monarch Species; the difference in physique alone is insurmountable."
"It's not over yet..." Luo Yu said with a smile. July continued to hurl magma balls at them. Seeing this, the Water Devil Beast continued to wave its tentacles, trying to smash them back one by one, but...?
Boom!
This time, a crater ten meters in diameter appeared directly beneath the Water Devil Beast. The ground collapsed, causing it to lose its balance, and its waving tentacles failed to block the lava in time! Bang bang bang bang!
One after another, magma balls successfully struck the Water Devil Beast Water Devil Beast's body, causing it to cry out in pain as heat began to rise from its skin, burning it. This time, it truly caused enormous damage.
In ground combat, July's advantage became immediately apparent: Dig from a distance.
But that's not all!
Unlike previous Dig, the pit created in July was not only much larger in area, but it was also a fire pit with its own geothermal heat!
The incredibly high temperature gushing from the bottom of the pit caused the Water Devil Beast to roar continuously. It hurriedly stretched out its tentacles, grabbed onto the surface, and tried to climb out.
Unfortunately, the opening its tentacles touched was also scorching hot, causing its tentacles to hiss and twitch like octopus tentacles on a hot plate. It lost its grip and accidentally fell back into the fire pit.
"This..." Yu Wan stared at the ridiculously large pit, slightly taken aback, and even smelled a fragrance.
"Roar!!!"
Originally thought to be a simple sparring match against a weak opponent, the Water Devil Beast was enraged by the torment it suffered. It stopped crawling and unleashed its ultimate attack!
Ink Sea Raging Tide!
A torrent of ink flowed and surged from its body, instantly filling the crater with a sea of ink. The intense heat was cooled, and it floated out, displaying its regal majesty. The Ink Sea Raging Tide continued to surge, seemingly about to engulf the entire area. Whoosh! Waves of ink crashed towards July. July swallowed hard, but showed no fear whatsoever.
A rocky platform rapidly formed beneath her feet, lifting July into the air, almost level with Luo Yu and the others on the ice platform. Even though the arena was submerged by the sea of ink in just a moment, July remained completely unaffected...
Although some ink droplets splashed onto it, they evaporated instantly from its body due to the high temperature, causing no harm.
The ground disappeared, Water Devil Beast was located within the ink sea it had created, while July stood on the new miniature land, watching her opponent.
"Roar!!"
Seeing this, the Water Devil Beast naturally wouldn't let it go, and stretched out its tentacles to try and knock down the rock platform, but at that moment...
Several large pits appeared underground at the same time, causing the ink sea it created to flow entirely into the sewers. With a whoosh, the water quickly flowed underground, and in no time, the site returned to land.
Meanwhile, on the other side, although the rock platform was swept away and collapsed by the Water Devil Beast's tentacles, July, standing steadily on the broken rocks in mid-air, calmly and unhurriedly hurled lava from her height!
Boom!!
It condensed a large chunk of magma, which exploded in mid-air, forming a meteor shower that rained down on the Water Devil Beast.
Bang bang bang bang!!!
Another round of intense damage ensued. "Oh my god..." Watching the battle between the Water Devil Beast and July, Yu Wan fell into deep thought.
The chaotic, potholed site made her question the meaning of life.
This little penguin... how come its fighting power has increased so much again!
How on earth did it manage to withstand the Sovereign's Pressure and fight the Water Devil Beast to this extent?!
That's a huge leap!
"Roar!!!"
Having been repeatedly injured, the Water Devil Beast's pupils turned completely bloodshot, and it finally succumbed to a berserk state, devoid of any sense of self-control. In this berserk state, its control over energy seemed even stronger, causing the ink that had sunk into the sewers to flow back up...
Let's stop here.
Boom!
Yu Wan unleashed a powerful surge of psychic energy, impacting the Water Devil Beast's consciousness and causing the already severely injured Water Devil Beast to lose consciousness. "Not fighting anymore?" Yu Wan asked.
Luo Yu said, "This time, the data is sufficient."
"Let's consider July a winner. After all, when it attacked, to avoid inflicting a fatal wound on the Water Devil Beast, it only threw lava at the tentacle's body, not directly at its head." "If it had attacked the head, the Water Devil Beast might already have lost."
"You can do that?" Yu Wan.
Luo Yu laughed, "Don't rush, there are still many more sparring sessions to come. Let's stop here for now and collect all sorts of data. We'll also change the venue later, first on land, then at sea, to spar with the Water Devil Beast. It's a long-term training mission in July."
This time, the venue definitely gave July a huge advantage.
In this small space, the Water Devil Beast's "Piercing a Willow Leaf at a Hundred Paces" talent couldn't be fully utilized, since the area was small and the fighting was mostly melee.
If you go outside and fight freely, the Water Devil Beast's lava effect will be greatly reduced if it hides in the water. If it stays far away, the little penguin's lava will be unable to hit or throw at it. On the contrary, the Water Devil Beast's attacks will have a high hit rate.
"It's not appropriate to continue fighting now, mainly because the destructive power of the magma is too strong. Look at its tentacles... they're already charred black. I think we should wait until we have a way to quickly treat these kinds of injuries before letting them fight freely," Luo Yu said.
"The treatment... will be available shortly."
"How did it happen?" Yu Wan was taken aback.
Luo Yu said, "I plan to conduct the third Water Devil Beast evolution experiment later..."
"Take a batch of Ink Fish with healing abilities and combine them to evolve into a Water Devil Beast!"
Today, the Ink Fish Farm has finally gathered its first batch of over 100 Senior Level- level individuals of the same species. These are none other than the Mercy Ink Fish.
As the earliest bred Senior Level individual, it now has the largest number. Even if a batch is sent to the hospital, there are still many. If we could have a medical Water Devil Beast, then we could really fight without restraint in future battles.
At the same time, this time, Luo Yu could finally see if his more than 100 Senior Level talents could be combined into a top-tier talent.
"Oh, right." Yu Wan's eyes lit up. "When will the experiment be conducted? I want to see it."
