Back to the resting room.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the resting room was incredibly lively.

After all, they had just secured a victory in the semifinals and successfully advanced to the finals.

Even if they lost tomorrow, they would still be the runner-up team.

All of this made them feel dazed and unreal.

“Junior, I noticed on the field today that your Beast Taming seems to have grown more muscular than it was a while ago?” Wu Ju curiously asked Chen Xing.

“Eh, now that you mention it, I think I’ve noticed that too!” Tong Xuhua chimed in, “It really does look more imposing.”

The group gathered around, discussing animatedly.

Although they had felt Chen Xing’s Beast Taming had grown in size during the battle, they were unable to accurately judge the growth due to the open space lacking reference points.

Chen Xing smiled slightly and explained, “It has grown a bit.

Perhaps it’s because Taotie evolved, triggering its second growth period; its growth rate has indeed been quite fast recently.”

He mentioned it casually.

Tian Xuechuan sighed, “Ah, if only my Beast Taming could also have a second growth period.”

The size and strength of a Beast Taming are often directly correlated.

No one would complain about their Beast Taming being too large; even if it’s a bit bigger, they can afford to keep it.

…

The next morning, as the first light of dawn broke.

Chen Xing arrived behind the bamboo forest and summoned Taotie,

Today, its size continued to develop steadily.

[Body Length]52.3 meters

[Weight]1064 tons

Its weight officially broke through the thousand-ton mark.

It sounds exaggerated, but in fact, many military ships in the water weigh more than this number.

For a Beast Taming, this tonnage already qualifies it as a heavyweight contender.

Now Taotie, lying on the ground, was nearly seven meters tall, about the same height as the Iron Wall Rock Rhino that it faced the day before.

However, it was several times longer than the Iron Wall Rock Rhino!

The ferocious bone spurs on its body stood erect, its massive body akin to a demon mountain.

A land tank?

Then Taotie is a naval warship at sea.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time; it didn’t grow to 340 meters. Had it grown to 340 meters, the only human transportation that could compete with it would have been an aircraft carrier.

Forty-five minutes before the morning match, Chen Xing went to the next room to begin correcting Taotie’s posture.

Fifteen minutes later.

“Taotie underwent posture correction, gaining an increase in aesthetic appeal (moderately increased skill power) and an increase in vitality (greatly increased wound healing speed).”

These two buffs weren’t very impressive.

Chen Xing continued to refresh.

“Taotie underwent posture correction, gaining an improvement in pet quality of life (moderately increased speed) and an increase in aesthetic appeal (moderately increased skill power).”

Usable, but it felt like there was still room to try.

Try again?

Not that these abilities were unsuitable, but they weren’t the enhancements needed against the opponent’s Beast Taming.

There was just enough time for one last chance.

In the last minute, Chen Xing emerged from the room.

Although his teammates were curious, they did not ask Chen Xing what he had been doing.

Chen Xing looked relaxed.

Because at the last moment, the two random buffs that appeared were quite decent.

“Taotie underwent posture correction, gaining an increase in pet confidence (significantly increased strength) and pet health (significantly increased resistance to abnormal states).”

This time, the trait Chen Xing had randomly selected was the increase in pet health.

With the greatly increased resistance to abnormal states, Taotie wouldn’t have to worry about being “electrocuted” in the water.

As long as he could close the distance for close combat, Chen Xing believed in Taotie’s combat ability.

The increase in pet confidence was just the icing on the cake; Taotie, now weighing a thousand tons, did not lack strength.

Physical strength was its advantage, and after significantly increasing strength, this advantage would be further expanded, which was a good ability to have.

Especially since the Azure Dragon was not a speed-focused Beast Taming.

…

The high school division finals of the High School Cup were held as scheduled at the Peak Arena.

In stark contrast to the previous quiet and deserted matches,

The spectator stands around the field were teeming with people, with not a single seat left empty.

The Peak Arena resonated with Beast Tamings summoned by the official staff to patrol in all directions.

The heat of this match was the highest of any high school division event in recent years.

Not only because one of the teams in the match was the darkest horse of recent years.

But also because both teams had very compelling features.

A super-strong team from one of the traditional top five schools faced off against a national obscurity from a local high school.

Thanks to the early hype by official media, the heat of the match attracted the attention of audiences nationwide.

In a corner of the venue, Chen’s father and mother were seated.

Feeling the boisterous atmosphere of the scene, they couldn’t help but get nervous for their son.

Because the direction of online public opinion was mostly leaning towards the opposite side.

Some bloggers who appeared to be professionals even pulled out “data analysis.”

They believed that with Taotie’s size far exceeding its Energy Level, its physical robustness should be about the same as the Azure Dragon’s, perhaps even slightly stronger.

But with such a big difference in Energy Level, they said there was no way to win the match.

“He’s already created so many miracles on his way here; honestly, whether he wins or loses this match, I can accept it,” Principal Xue said, sitting next to Chen Guohai. He couldn’t help but sincerely exclaim as he looked at the spirited young man ascending the command platform.

Chen Lingya, who had finished her match, sat next to her mother, holding her hand.

Liu Yuzhen had gone out of her way to get a pair of glasses before the match just to watch it.

On the field.

Eight Beast Tamings were thunderously summoned!

Chen Xing’s gaze swept over the four Beast Tamings on the opposite side.

An Energy Level 66 Azure Dragon, a Level 46 Aurous Avian, a Level 45 Thunderclap Seven-Star Insect, and a Level 49 Weather Cactus Beast.

The Weather Cactus Beast was there to coordinate with the Azure Dragon.

Because its Innate Skill was called “Multiple Dark Clouds.”

It could summon multiple dark clouds overhead, and for a certain duration, the power of Thunder Element Attack Skills on the field would be enhanced.

The atmosphere in the arena was tense to the extreme.

With the referee’s shout, the competition officially began, and the entire venue erupted into excitement.

A great flood and multiple layers of dark clouds almost simultaneously descended upon the battlefield,

The Weather Cactus Beast summoned multiple layers of clouds that blocked out the sky, plunging the entire field into darkness.

The great flood, like a ferocious beast, surged forward, instantly submerging most of the field.

Opposite them, the Thunder Sound Dragon showed no weakness, starting off by releasing the Tyrannical Thunder Net.

The terrifying lightning transformed into countless arcs, spreading out in all directions like a spider’s web gone wild.

Wherever the arcs passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making “crackling” noises.

The rest of the Beast Tamers released their skills towards the opposite side as well.

For a moment, the arena was filled with the dazzling brightness of various skills.

But soon, except for Taotie and Thunder Sound Dragon, the other six beasts gradually quieted down,

because with the spread of the flood, the other six beasts were all paralyzed in place, unable to move.

This wasn’t a game; there was no notion of teammates being immune to damage.

For Thunder Sound Dragon, the multiple layers of dark clouds summoned by the Weather Cactus Beast had already created an excellent battle environment for it.

At that moment, although Taotie was paralyzed by the lightning, its speed did not decrease in the slightest.

After blessing itself with a Water Curtain Light Armor, it charged towards the Thunder Sound Dragon like a bolt of lightning.

Facing Taotie’s charge, Thunder Sound Dragon let out a long howl, and both Thunder Shield and Wild Thunder Body were activated one after the other.

Layers of silver-white lightning chains formed a shield around its body, shining brightly.

At the same time, its body was covered with a layer of golden electric net, the silver and golden lightning interweaving as if it donned an indestructible suit of armor.

Taotie collided head-on, twisting its body in the moment it passed by Thunder Sound Dragon, using the powerful momentum to swing its massive tail.

The tail was covered with a layer of black membrane.

Thunder Sound Dragon was not to be outdone, and it executed the Dragon Tail Sweep.

Although both were common skills, and their methods of attack were similar,

many believed that at the same level, Dragon Tail Sweep was more powerful than a giant tail sweep.

However, that comparison is under the same weight class, and now it was a contest between a thousand-ton Water Mansion Greedy Tyrant Crocodile and a sixty-ton Thunder Sound Dragon.

The tail of the Thunder Sound Dragon was instantly repelled, and Taotie’s tail, over a dozen meters long, continued its momentum like a hefty whip, harshly lashing the thigh of the Thunder Sound Dragon.

The leg bones of the Thunder Sound Dragon made a grinding noise under the strain.

The next second, its massive body crashed to the ground with a thunderous fall.

Seeing this scene, the entire arena was shocked, erupting into an uproar!

Song Yanming’s face changed dramatically, Why could the opponent’s beast withstand the lightning? Its movements seem to be unaffected at all!?

Normally, a target hit by lightning would have its muscles stiffen, unable to use even thirty percent of its strength.

Chen Xing crossed his arms over his chest.

When the opponent chose to go head-to-head with Taotie, the outcome was already sealed.

Having received a significant increase in strength, the thousand-ton giant crocodile made Chen Xing even think that Taotie’s use of its giant tail sweep could directly demolish a house.

A large amount of lightning on the body of Thunder Sound Dragon crawled onto Taotie like flesh-burrowing maggots, but aside from making the already black exoskeleton on Taotie’s surface even darker, it had no effect on its movement.

Watching Thunder Sound Dragon fall, Chen Xing unhesitatingly issued an order.

“Vortex of Demise.”

Taotie moved forward a step, its massive jaws opening wide as if connected to another black hole within.

It bit down on the thigh of Thunder Sound Dragon.

The next second, a vicious tear!

Blood splattered everywhere!

The Thunder Sound Dragon had lost an entire leg.

Taotie ferociously pounced, its crocodile-like claw larger than the face of the Thunder Sound Dragon as it fiercely stomped on its face.

The Thunder Sound Dragon opened its mouth wide, plasma ejection!

A pillar of plasma as thick as a bucket struck Taotie’s left claw with swift ferocity.

The powerful impact sent Taotie’s left claw flying off.

At the same time, a bucket-sized hole appeared at the bottom of its palm.

However, relative to Taotie’s body size… this hole seemed a bit small.

Having ejected the massive claw that was pressing on it, the Thunder Sound Dragon briefly gained a chance to breathe.

A roar resounded, “Thunder Sound Heavenly Waterfall!”

The sky rumbled with rampant thunder!

Countless bolts of lightning, as swift as a torrential downpour, bombarded Taotie.

The bone spikes on Taotie’s carapace shattered one by one, its scales were torn apart, revealing raw, blood-red flesh, and the intense pain made Taotie emit a wildly furious roar.

Just as the Thunder Sound Dragon was about to struggle to its feet from the ground, missing one leg, it had barely managed to stand up with great difficulty.

A wildly savage tail met its face, striking it straight in the neck.

Bang!!!

The Thunder Sound Dragon fell heavily to the ground once again.

Its eyes rolled back, showing the whites.

Taotie, having endured the Thunder Sound Heavenly Waterfall, bit into its tail, but because its mouth was too big, it ended up enclosing the entire lower half of the Thunder Sound Dragon’s body.

“Death Roll!”

Chen Xing’s voice came through.

Compared to the Vortex of Demise, the visual impact of the Death Roll was stronger and… it hurt more.

The next second.

In front of a hundred thousand spectators in the Peak Arena.

The lower half of the Thunder Sound Dragon’s body was brutally torn apart, completely detached from its upper half!

The gushing blood splashing out and the piercing screams from the audience merged into one, driving the heat of the competition to its climax!

Even with the Thunder Sound Dragon’s tenacious vitality, having lost half its body, it could only lie in the floodwater, waiting for its life force to rapidly drain away.

Across the way, on the command platform, Song Yanming could no longer maintain his previous composure.

Veins on his forehead and neck bulged as he couldn’t imagine at which point a mistake had been made?

His Beast Taming Level was higher than his opponent’s.

Wild Thunder Body could enhance his beast’s physical attributes and wound healing speed in all aspects.

Additionally, Thunder paralysis could affect the opponent’s beast, impairing its state and preventing it from exerting its full strength.

The Thunder Shield could provide defense, and even offer reflective damage.

With all these advantages stacked together, how could the situation have suddenly slipped out of control?

Meanwhile, up on the command platform of Azure Dragon Eight High, Chen Xing felt that this Thunder Sound Dragon posed a threat to Taotie that seemed… not even as much as the Sculpted Feather Blade Mantis?

At least the Sculpted Feather Blade Mantis was slippery and evasive, ducking and dodging with attacks that posed a certain threat.

The moment this Thunder Sound Dragon faced Taotie head-on, the match was over.
