Chapter 2415 - 2416: The Duel
The battle field, this type of special arena used specifically for Beast Tamer battles is constructed wherever conditions allow, even the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise does not escape this fact.
Feng Yuan and his group borrowed the nearby Stray Spirit Beast Paradise’s battle field for their battle test, while the stray spirit beasts residing in the paradise formed a curious circle watching the two people on the field.
This is where the stray spirit beasts usually battle, even without a Beastmaster, they can fight here to improve their combat experience.
"Magic Mechanized Soldiers... if they really perform well, can you really keep it hidden?"
Watching the two standing against each other on the field, Dou Yanlan murmured softly, Qi Xiaoshuang was the first to act, controlling the magic mechanized soldier to charge forward, Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider rushed at an extraordinary speed towards Ah Mu.
Although Qi Xiaoshuang had the first move advantage, it was meaningless to Ah Mu, whose speed was lacking, but correspondingly, both the attacking and defense capabilities were stronger than those of ordinary spirit beasts of the same level.
A solid Vine Barrier rose, and Hunter Spider crashed into the wall of light of the Vine Barrier without bouncing back; instead, it clung to the light wall as if absorbing all the recoil force, even climbing upward along the light wall.
"The mobility is okay..."
"Ah Mu! Barrier Blast!"
Qi Chen noticed Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider trying to climb over the Vine Barrier and immediately issued a command, the originally sturdy Vine Barrier instantly glowed green, and in the next moment, the entire Vine Barrier transformed into a sea of light.
However, just before this sea of light exploded, Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider gracefully jumped back, easily dodging the initial explosion and riding the fierce wind back to Qi Xiaoshuang.
A Crystal Barrier stood before White Shadow Wolf’s barrier; Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider didn’t continue to charge at Ah Mu, or rather, White Shadow Wolf judged that despite the distance from the Vine Barrier, relying solely on its barrier skills could not resist the continuous impact of the explosion.
Barrier Blast is an indiscriminate attack, even Ah Mu and Qi Chen were within its attack range, and Qi Chen didn’t opt to have Ah Mu raise another barrier to resist.
Roaring loudly, Ah Mu slammed its palms onto the ground, causing large trees to rise from the ground emitting a green glow, even Ah Mu was bathed in the green glow.
The explosive shock collided with Ah Mu and the trees, and the flickering green light instantly healed the damage to Ah Mu and the trees, continuously taking effect.
"Withstanding attacks on the battlefield, when did Qi Chen’s combat style become so aggressive?"
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said in wonder; in his impression, Qi Chen’s combat style should be more stable. Could it be that just because the opponent is Qi Xiaoshuang, Qi Chen is being careless?
Unable to figure out, Feng Yuan didn’t think much; he could ask Qi Chen later anyway. Surely his combat style hasn’t suddenly changed?
With the healing effect, Ah Mu reached Qi Xiaoshuang before the explosion shock ended. Looking at Ah Mu pressing closer, Qi Xiaoshuang had no choice but to have Hunter Spider act.
No way, she ultimately wasn’t a Beastmaster and couldn’t yet borrow the Beast’s power to protect herself. White Shadow Wolf’s strength wasn’t particularly strong, just that Hunter Spider’s ability seemed...
Due to not letting Ah Mu continue approaching, Hunter Spider didn’t strike then retreat but instead began circling around Ah Mu in a skirmishing fight. Dou Yanlan watched the jumping Hunter Spider with contemplation.
In terms of flexibility, Hunter Spider and Cotton were comparable, but this was meaningless as Hunter Spider hadn’t shown the ability to use ultimate moves yet.
However, for spirit beasts, they rarely fought with their bodies, even combat series spirit beasts predominantly used combat ultimate moves and rarely relied on pure physical strength to confront enemies.
Compared to ultimate moves, simple physical strength was weaker, so Dou Yanlan didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan meant by magic mechanized soldiers, what they could truly achieve. Solely looking at the current situation didn’t seem particularly ideal.
Perhaps sensing that Hunter Spider could only engage in close combat, Ah Mu ignored Hunter Spider and began pressing towards Qi Xiaoshuang. Because Qi Xiaoshuang wasn’t a Beastmaster, if Ah Mu touched Qi Xiaoshuang, it meant she lost.
However, just as Ah Mu prepared to act, Hunter Spider suddenly rushed over, firing green poison needles, Dou Yanlan stood stunned, not expecting Hunter Spider to use something akin to an ultimate move.
Instantly, the poison needle flew to Ah Mu’s front; however, at this point, Ah Mu suddenly turned around, clasped its palms together, and a crystalline green barrier flashed into existence blocking the poison needle.
"At least good level power poison needle, this..."
Dou Yanlan exclaimed in surprise, she hadn’t thought that Magic Mechanized Soldiers could use spirit beast ultimate moves with such power.
The reason it was only at a good level might be entirely due to the controlling Magic Mechanized Soldier White Shadow Wolf’s strength limitations, Dou Yanlan suspected.
Qi Chen wasn’t surprised; he had always felt a sense of threat from Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider, based on its previously exhibited strength, it shouldn’t pose such a threat.
Precisely because of this, Qi Chen believed Magic Mechanized Soldiers were definitely hiding their strength; as for why Qi Xiaoshuang would do this, Qi Chen could guess. First, show weakness and then launch a surprise attack. This is a relatively common tactic.
Unfortunately, Qi Chen’s combat intuition unreasonably saw through Qi Xiaoshuang’s move. Or rather, it was precisely because of combat intuition that Qi Chen could avoid many traps.
"As expected, just this isn’t enough to beat the elder brother. But how about this move?"
With a slight smile, Qi Xiaoshuang decided to use her last move, no choice, Ah Mu was too strong. Even if White Shadow Wolf used Magic Mechanized Soldier: Hunter Spider, it wasn’t an opponent. Though, with a little more effort, victory wasn’t impossible, but Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t plan to do so.
Hunter Spider suddenly leapt away from Ah Mu, but this time it didn’t target Ah Mu; instead, it turned swiftly charging towards Qi Chen.
Seeing the Hunter Spider rushing with green light, Qi Chen quickly swung his right hand, a green long staff condensed in his hand, swiftly swinging it, and a green Gemstone Barrier rapidly expanded, blocking the flying poison needle.
The poison needle, carrying a annihilating black-grey aura, bombarded the Gemstone Barrier. If Qi Chen had used any other common barrier ultimate move, it would likely be shattered by its barrier-breaking property, leading to a defense failure.
However, Gemstone Barrier is unique; its defensive ability among barrier ultimate moves is relatively poor, but conversely, Gemstone Barrier has special characteristic protective ability.
Any characteristic of an attack does not take effect on Gemstone Barrier, and upon losing its barrier-breaking attribute, the power of the poison needle isn’t sufficient to penetrate the Gemstone Barrier, even though the Gemstone Barrier’s protective ability isn’t particularly strong.
"Using the right ultimate move at the right moment? Qi Chen’s combat intuition talent is really strong, but relying too much on this talent isn’t necessarily a good thing."
Watching Qi Chen effortlessly repel Hunter Spider, Feng Yuan said softly. He naturally guessed that Qi Chen’s reaction was likely related to combat intuition.
Though generally, combat intuition is unlikely to be wrong, ultimately, there are abilities that deceive combat intuition talent, relying too heavily on combat intuition, if encountering such opponents, instead results in disadvantage.
Of course, this was just Feng Yuan’s speculation. Perhaps Qi Chen had already prepared for defense failure?
With Hunter Spider repelled, Ah Mu also pressed closer to Qi Xiaoshuang, seeing the impending giant hand, Qi Xiaoshuang helplessly chose to admit defeat.
After all, she wasn’t yet a Beastmaster and couldn’t borrow Beast’s power, making it impossible for her to escape Ah Mu’s attack in time.
"If Gemstone Barrier was used incorrectly earlier and didn’t stop Hunter Spider’s attack, wouldn’t you have lost?"
The battle ended, Feng Yuan approached with curiosity to ask Qi Chen his question, scratching his head, Qi Chen said
"If Gemstone Barrier got penetrated, the woodland phantom I left earlier would activate and swap me with the nearby trees."
"I see."
Recalling the trees summoned by Ah Mu during the first use of Barrier, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen with surprise; he hadn’t expected that Qi Chen had already set up follow-up self-protection means at that moment.
"It seems Xiao Shuang lost to you fairly, besides woodland phantom, you probably have other self-protection means, right? Tsk tsk, didn’t expect Qi Chen to become more troublesome than before~"
With a chuckle, Feng Yuan spoke, looking at Qi Xiaoshuang. Even though she lost to Qi Chen, she appeared very happy because the effect of Magic Mechanized Soldiers exceeded her expectations. As for losing to Qi Chen? The disparity in strength was apparent; she wouldn’t harbor resentment.
