"Yap!"

Yabao showed an excited expression as he faced the overwhelming lightning attack.

He let out a loud cry, and in the next second, flames surged, his wildly flowing fur seemingly turning into a raging inferno.

Then, he charged head-on toward the incoming lightning strike.

With an Ultimate-Level Flame Charge, Yabao's speed was just as fast as lightning, appearing as a dazzling streak of fire weaving left and right through the chaotic bolts.

If this attack landed, combined with Meteor Rain, Electric Slash Beast would likely be knocked out on the spot...

Wu Chongyu's mind raced.

Quick reflexes and speed meant taking the initiative in every move.

Even against wide-range attacks, as long as one could react fast enough, all enemy moves would feel like slow motion, making them much easier to counter.

This speed advantage had always ensured his Electric Slash Beast dominated in past battles.

But now, Meteor Rain had already slowed Electric Slash Beast down. Worse, his opponent could teleport due to its Psychic-type abilities.

This meant that even in terms of speed, Electric Slash Beast had lost its edge.

If this dragged on, Electric Slash Beast wouldn't be able to hold out under the continuous meteor rain. Once its ability effects wore off, its attack power would also drop.

Rather than dodging, it was better to face it head-on!

If they could at least land a hit, then he’d be the first contestant in the tournament to actually damage Blazing Star Canine!

Wu Chongyu had this thought, but the battle between high-level battle beasts happened in a split second, too fast for him to give a command.

Before he could shout, Yabao had already weaved through Thunderbolt and appeared right in front of Electric Slash Beast.

Even though Wu Chongyu hadn’t spoken, at that moment, it was as if Electric Slash Beast could read his thoughts.

"Electric!"

Just as Yabao closed in, Electric Slash Beast didn't dodge. Instead, it suddenly burst into a brilliant electric glow.

A massive surge of electric energy and shockwaves exploded outward from its body, forming an enormous yellow half-sphere of destruction.

Within its radius, everything seemed doomed to be obliterated.

Thunderstorm Explosion, a high-level Electric-type move that releases devastating energy around the user. There was no way for Yabao to avoid it now.

Instinctively, Qiao Sang wanted to order Yabao to teleport to safety.

But she could sense Yabao’s battle excitement, he wanted to face this head-on.

She hesitated for 0.1 seconds but that was enough for Yabao to be caught in the range of the Thunderstorm Explosion.

At this point, dodging was no longer an option.

Qiao Sang thought fast, then shouted:

"Version 2.0!"

However---

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Meteor Rain was still raining down. As it collided with the yellow half-sphere, massive explosions erupted.

Thick white smoke filled the air, and the deafening explosions completely drowned out Qiao Sang’s voice.

Did Yabao get the message?

---

At the heart of the explosion, when Yabao’s Flame Charge struck Electric Slash Beast, an immense electrical surge erupted from it’s body.

The clash of fire and lightning triggered a massive detonation, sending both of them flying.

Both battle beasts endured the first wave of the explosion.

But Electric Slash Beast had already suffered from Meteor Rain earlier. This time, after the impact, the electric arcs around its body flickered weakly.

The flames continued to fall, causing repeated fire bursts across the battlefield.

Soon, Electric Slash Beast swayed unsteadily then collapsed.

Yet, the Thunderstorm Explosion it had triggered did not stop.

Once unleashed, this kind of ability didn’t need constant energy control, it would keep going for a set duration.

"Yap!"

Yabao, caught in the center of the raging storm, was being battered from all sides.

He gritted his teeth and held firm.

At that moment, he heard Qiao Sang’s command.

Version 2.0?

In an instant, Yabao understood what she meant.

"Yap!"

Yabao endured the pain, gathered his energy, and opened his mouth.

The next second, flames erupted from his maw.

When fire met the chaotic lightning energy...

BOOM!

A colossal explosion detonated.

Yabao bared his fangs, his eyes glowing blue.

The fire surrounded Yabao, spiraling around him, expanding in size and intensity.

Despite the constant detonations, Yabao’s relentless fire and powerful psychic energy forced an opening, a safe zone within the storm.

If any professional beast trainers had witnessed this scene, they’d have shouted "What the hell?!" in shock.

Everyone knew that Electric-type energy was violently unstable.

Combining Electric and Fire-type energy always resulted in massive explosions.

Yet, right in front of them...

A battle beast was using flames and psychic power to block it off?!

Fire naturally amplifies explosions.

Once the temperature hit a certain point, lightning should have scattered the flames.

But here, the fire just kept coming, refusing to be extinguished.

Only the outermost layer of fire showed any signs of dispersing and even that was just due to the shockwaves and smoke from repeated explosions.

How much energy did it take to sustain this?!

---

The ground trembled, cracked, and shattered.

Blazing Star Canine and Electric Slash Beast were completely obscured in the explosion’s core.

The audience swallowed hard, their hearts pounding.

By the later stages of the national championship, high-level battle beast duels were common.

But even among elite matches, this was different.

This battle wasn’t about tactics, it was pure destructive force.

In this year’s entire national championship, no other battle had been this brutal.

The sheer ferocity of Blazing Star Canine and Electric Slash Beast had left everyone stunned.

The same thought ran through the audience's minds:

Wu Chongyu is insane! Did he just go for mutual destruction with Qiao Sang?!

The explosions were so intense that no battle beast could have survived unscathed.

Not even Blazing Star Canine, as terrifying as it was, could possibly still be standing…

After all, its true strength lay in offense, not defense.

Nearly everyone thought the same thing.

Wu Chongyu, on the other hand, was already celebrating.

He knew Qiao Sang had underestimated him.

Now look!

Qiao Sang hadn’t even given a command and it had cost her the match.

He was about to become the first contestant to defeat Qiao Sang’s Blazing Star Canine.

His Electric Slash Beast’s sacrifice had not been in vain.

Wu Chongyu straightened his back, bracing for thunderous applause.

In the audience, his classmates in white uniforms waved a massive banner:

"Wu Chongyu, Charge Forward! Victory in Every Match!"

All they had to do was wait for the smoke to clear and for the referee to announce the draw.

Then...

The explosions subsided, and the smoke dispersed.

Wu Chongyu froze.

His classmates stopped cheering.

Silently, they lowered the banner.

On the battlefield-

The Blazing Star Canine stood proudly, head slightly raised, injured but unyielding.

And beside it...

Electric Slash Beast lay unconscious on the ground.
