The whistle blew.

"Flame Charge!"

"Volt Tackle!"

Yabao, who had been gathering power, suddenly burst into flames. The fire from his wings surged, engulfing his entire body as his limbs exploded with force, transforming him into a brilliant streak of fire rushing forward.

At the same time, electric arcs danced wildly across the Electric Slash Beast’s body. In an instant, its form was covered in golden lightning, like a streak of thunder racing across the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the center of the field, dozens of meters ahead.

Fire and lightning were about to collide. The audience instinctively held their breath.

No matter the level of the competition, the clash of raw power always excited the most primal emotions.

However, the expected violent impact never happened. Just before the two forces met head-on, the streak of lightning suddenly changed trajectory, dodging the incoming flames.

Meanwhile, the fire disappeared, only to reappear high in the air, ten meters above the battlefield.

The flames around Yabao had already dissipated. He hovered midair, tilting his head upward. A massive crimson energy ball, pulsing with terrifying power, shot further into the sky.

On the ground, the Electric Slash Beast also came to a stop, yellow lightning still crackling around its body.

"Electric Slash!"

It let out a loud cry, and a bolt of lightning shot skyward.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

For a moment, the audience fell silent. Then, the stadium erupted in noise.

"Holy crap, did they plan this in advance? They both started with feints?"

"Distraction tactics? I don't get it. Why not just use the big moves directly?"

"Isn't it obvious? They both wanted to unleash their strongest attacks but were afraid of getting interrupted, so they used smaller moves first to divert attention before going all in."

"Qiao Sang and Wu Chongyu have some serious synergy going on."

"Not bad! Wu Chongyu actually managed to keep up with Qiao Sang’s strategy."

"But what are these ultimate moves they’re preparing... wait, what the?!"

The speaker’s eyes nearly popped out at the scene on the field.

The sky darkened briefly before an enormous bolt of lightning, five times thicker than normal, came crashing down like a lightning pillar. Its sheer force sent visible tremors through the air.

But the lightning didn’t strike the opponent, it struck the Electric Slash Beast itself!

"Electric Slash!"

The beast let out a cry as the sharp horn atop its head crackled with golden electricity.

The massive lightning bolt was instantly absorbed into its horn!

Violent golden arcs surged across its body, its fur billowed wildly, and its eyes turned a blazing gold. Its aura intensified exponentially.

Then, an unexpected shift occurred in the air.

A rain of fire descended from the sky!

Countless flaming orbs fell, engulfing the battlefield in a sea of red.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Firebombs exploded as they hit the ground, shattering the battlefield. Scorching waves of heat filled the air.

At a glance, there was nowhere left to land.

And yet, in the midst of this hellish landscape, the Electric Slash Beast darted through like a flash of lightning, moving at an incredible speed.

But the density of the fire rain was overwhelming. Despite its rapid movement, the beast’s large frame made dodging impossible.

Fireballs kept striking its body. White smoke rose from its fur as it sizzled on impact.

"Electric Slash!"

Gritting its teeth against the pain, the beast let out a roar. Its aura surged again as it accelerated further, breaking through the fiery downpour. Amidst the burning battlefield, it surged forward, trailing arcs of electricity, charging straight toward Yabao in an upward diagonal sprint.

Brilliant move!

It had summoned lightning upon itself at the start of the battle, utilizing the Lightning Rod and Motor Drive abilities to boost its special attack and speed. Now, it was so fast that even teleportation might not be able to dodge it… Qiao Sang was genuinely impressed.

She had initially planned to dominate the battlefield with an overwhelming assault, preventing a prolonged battle that would drain stamina and energy. But she hadn't expected Wu Chongyu to be thinking the exact same thing.

The deeper into the competition they got, the tougher the opponents became…

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Yabao vanished from his spot, teleporting to a new position.

Electric arcs flashed as red and yellow streaks clashed in the air, engaged in a frenzied chase.

Again and again, the Electric Slash Beast was struck by fire, leaving it covered in burns. However, the flames never spread beyond their initial impact, dissipating into controlled explosions before vanishing.

"The electricity is conducting through the flames." Liu Yao analyzed from the contestants' area.

"When the temperature reaches a certain threshold, the energy causes explosive shockwaves. The Electric Slash Beast is getting hurt, but at the same time, it’s using the shockwaves to disperse the flames before they can ignite fully."

"Lightning Rod increases its special attack, making its electric energy overflow and crackle continuously across its body." Sun Boyi muttered.

"But the electric-flame explosions are still damaging it. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before it loses."

"And how did he know Qiao Sang would start with Meteor Rain?"

"He didn’t." Liu Yao replied.

"Calling down lightning on itself was a safe move. Yabao can teleport, making it hard to land a normal attack. Even if the beast managed to hit it once, that wouldn’t be enough to take it down. But with increased speed and special attack, the Electric Slash Beast now has a real chance of winning."

"As for Meteor Rain, he prepared for it just in case, but even he probably didn’t expect Qiao Sang to open with it immediately."

Sure enough, Wu Chongyu was staring at the battlefield in shock, internally screaming: What the hell?!

This was Meteor Rain at ultimate level?! Watching it on TV was nothing compared to experiencing it firsthand!

Good thing I boosted my stats at the start! Otherwise, I might have been wiped out within a minute. How would I even face his school after that?

Even with Motor Drive increasing its speed, the Electric Slash Beast should have caught Yabao by now. But the Meteor Rain's damage was slowing it down just enough to prevent a direct hit.

This couldn’t continue. If he let the Blazing Star Canine keep dodging, his beast’s injuries would only worsen.

He had to launch a full-scale assault now.

Even if he lost, he had to go down with a fight.

Wu Chongyu steadied himself and shouted:

"Thunderbolt!"

"Electric!"

Despite the pain, the Electric Slash Beast roared, golden lightning crackling wildly across its body.

As the last flames exploded against its skin, a massive bolt of lightning surged forward, streaking toward Yabao like a golden serpent.

In the sea of red flames, a single flash of yellow lightning stood out: Sharp, blinding, and unstoppable.
