Seeing Little Stone with its head down and looking unhappy, Liu Guanfeng patted its head and said, "Little Stone, you performed very well today. When we get back, I will reward you with a big bunch of bananas." Liu Guanfeng was not worried that it wouldn't understand what he was saying.
Because XP had already told him that magical beasts could understand human speech by the third tier, but they could only communicate mentally with their masters at the Sixth Tier. It wasn't until they reached the Ninth Tier that they could actually speak.
As soon as Little Stone heard about the bananas, it jumped up joyfully three times before continuing its wooden performance.
"Bao Rui, it's your Fire's turn in this match," Liu Guanfeng instructed Bao Rui.
"Got it, Third Brother. Leave it to me," Bao Rui replied as he crouched down and gently stroked his companion, as if giving it some last-minute advice. When Bao Rui stood up, his Fourth Rank Fire Wolf—Fire—immediately grew from the size of a Pekingese to about the size of the wild boar across from them. Then it dashed to the center of the Arena.
Fire looked at the wild boar, and its gray fur instantly turned bright red.
The wild boar charged at Fire, but Fire dodged to the side to avoid the attack. As the wild boar passed by Fire, Fire revealed its sharp front claws and struck down on the wild boar's back, leaping onto its back.
With another claw grabbing onto the wild boar's back, the wild boar yelped in pain. The area where Fire had grabbed it instantly turned to stone. Then, with a twist of its body, the wild boar shook off Fire, who lost its grip and was thrown away.
As soon as Fire landed, it dashed back towards the wild boar. Since the wild boar had already suffered from Fire's attacks before, it was now completely petrified and moved extremely slowly. However, Fire's attacks were ineffective. After several attempts, Fire achieved nothing and even drew blood on its claws. Watching this made Bao Rui's heart ache. Yet he had no better solution.
"Bao Rui, Fire's attacks are failing and it's also sustained minor injuries. This won't work," Liu Guanfeng said as he looked at Bao Rui.
"Third Brother, I know that too, but the wild boar is already petrified and there's nothing we can do. Fire's only magical attack is the Fireball Spell, and even if it hits the opponent, it won't have much effect," Bao Rui replied.
"Bao Rui, while a single Fireball Spell may not be effective, don't forget that having Stone roast something is still very hot," Liu Guanfeng said with a smile to Bao Rui. Without needing to say more, he knew that anyone seeing his current smile wouldn't find it amusing; it certainly looked cunning.
Bao Rui slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "You're right! How did I not think of that? You're amazing, Third Brother."
After saying this, he began issuing new attack orders to Fire. Once Bao Rui finished giving orders, Fire jumped back to create distance from the wild boar. It opened its mouth and unleashed a fireball the size of a head. Seeing Fire spit out a fireball made Ma Sanbao across from them show a contemptuous smile on his face.
Liu Guanfeng thought to himself, "You still have the mood to laugh; I'll make you cry soon."
The first fireball hit the wild boar in the face, but the wild boar showed no reaction. Then came the second, third, fourth, and fifth... In the blink of an eye, Fire had unleashed more than ten fireballs in succession, yet Fire did not stop.
It wasn't until Fire had spat out over fifty fireballs that the wild boar finally couldn't hold on any longer, letting out a series of howls. The petrification state on its body also disappeared. The wild boar jumped around, likely feeling the heat intensely. Seizing the opportunity, Fire launched another fireball directly at the wild boar.
The wild boar was burned enough that it dashed off the Arena. The smell of roasting filled the air. Cheers and applause erupted from the audience below.
Liu Guanfeng glanced at Fire in the Arena and realized that Fire had expended too much energy in this battle and could not fight in the next round. He then said to Bao Rui, "Fire has used too much energy; let’s call Fire back."
Bao Rui nodded and called Fire back.
In the fourth match, Liu Guanfeng sent out Copper Bull along with his Fourth-Stage Beast, Fire Rhinoceros—Bun Bun. When Bun Bun reached the center of the Arena, Liu Guanfeng was taken aback. Coincidentally, the opponent's fourth mount was also a Fourth Rank Fire Rhinoceros. The two rhinos facing each other were like a collision of meteors.
The two rhinos clashed for a while without either gaining an advantage. Then they began exchanging fireballs, launching over thirty fireballs in succession, astonishing the audience below. The two rhinos fought for over twenty minutes without a clear winner. In the end, Ren Teacher, who was judging, had no choice but to declare this rhino duel a draw.
After declaring the fourth match a draw, Ma Sanbao stepped forward and looked at Liu Guanfeng. "Your subordinate's mounts have all been sent out; now only you two useless ones are left. Do you still want to fight me? You might as well admit defeat now. That second-tier little dog behind you is your mount, right? Do you still want to embarrass yourself?"
Liu Guanfeng looked at Ma Sanbao and replied, "Ma Sanbao, victory or defeat isn't determined by words. You can talk all day and night, but it won't silence me. Enough with the nonsense; just show your trump card already. I really don’t know who the real waste is."
"Since you don't want to admit defeat, I'll make you cry. Release your little dog as a snack for my Leopard."
With that, a flash of golden light appeared in the center of the Arena, revealing a Leopard. The Leopard was a Fifth-Stage Beast known for its speed; its claws and teeth were its primary means of attack.
When Ma Sanbao's Leopard appeared in the Arena, even Ren Teacher was taken aback. That was a Fifth-Stage Beast capable of growing up to Seventh Tier. This meant that Ma Sanbao could continue cultivating as an Advanced Knight without needing to change mounts.
The appearance of the Leopard also represented status. Among children, not everyone could afford a Fifth Tier magical beast; even if one could afford it, success in forming a contract was not guaranteed because high-level magical beasts had their own dignity.
At this moment, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience. "Wow, it's a Fifth-Stage Beast, so impressive. No wonder Ma Sanbao is so arrogant; he really has the skills."
"That Leopard is so beautiful. How great would it be if I could have one?"
...
Liu Guanfeng looked down at his companion, xp. "xp, can you handle that leopard?"
"Master, that little leopard is only Fifth Tier. I am now a Sixth-Grade Beast, and after months of training by your side, I can already feel that my promotion is not far off. Dealing with this little guy shouldn't be a problem," xp said while tilting its head.
"Don't underestimate it, xp. You heard him; he wants to use you to feed that leopard."
"Heh, does he think his little spotted leopard can eat me? It better watch out for its big teeth," xp replied disdainfully.
"Alright, xp, this match is up to you. Remember to seriously injure his Leopard but don't kill it. A Fifth-Stage Beast's mount isn't easy to come by."
"Heh, I knew you had a good heart, Master. Don't worry; I'll leave it breathing." With that, xp swaggered out. Looking at the Leopard across from him, xp slowly grew until it was about the same size as the Leopard before stopping.
Ma Sanbao shouted at his Leopard, "Baby, eat that broken dog!"
Hearing Ma Sanbao's words, Liu Guanfeng suddenly recalled a line from Stephen Chow in "A Chinese Odyssey," and then he said to xp, "Let it eat."
At this moment, Ma Sanbao's Leopard began to circle around xp excitedly. Meanwhile, xp stood still as if in meditation. The Leopard jumped several times and suddenly lunged at xp, raising its paw directly toward xp's head. xp jumped back just in time to dodge the Leopard's strike.
Then the Leopard twisted its body and swung its tail toward xp. At that moment, xp remained motionless. Just as the Leopard's tail was about to hit xp, a wall appeared beside xp; this was also the most basic magic of Earth Department beasts: Earth Wall Technique.
In just a short while, the Leopard clawed and bit while swinging its tail in a desperate attack around xp. Meanwhile, xp only used one spell: Earth Wall Technique.
Leopard had been surrounded for a long time, yet there was no progress in the attack. In contrast, xp seemed unfazed, standing there watching Leopard.
Ma Sanbao was also puzzled; a second-tier Earth Dog had erected a wall of earth, and yet a Fifth Tier Leopard couldn't break through it.
Everyone in the audience was on edge, including Bao Rui and his companions, who were unaware of xp's true strength. The crowd was silent, and Liu Guanfeng, glancing at the relaxed xp on stage, said, "Alright, xp, stop playing around and finish the battle quickly."
After he spoke, Bao Rui and the others turned to look at Liu Guanfeng. He smiled slightly and said, "What are you looking at me for? Look at Arena."
At that moment, xp made his move. He first used a Small Earthquake Technique on Leopard, causing its body to sway as it lost its balance. Then xp opened his mouth and shot out a fireball that struck Leopard's left front paw, causing it to yelp in pain and nearly lose its footing.
xp charged forward and headbutted Leopard. In a panic, Leopard retaliated with its own head. At that moment, both Mount heads were adorned with golden hues. This was the skill Metalization of the Golden Beast, akin to petrification.
The collision forced the three-legged Leopard to stumble back several steps. xp steadied himself and unleashed another attack; this time, instead of a fireball, he spewed forth a jet of water that knocked Leopard down. Just as Leopard attempted to rise again, xp charged right in front of it and delivered another fireball at close range.
The heat caused Leopard to howl in distress. Then xp mimicked the action of little Stone attacking Moose, raising his right front paw which instantly turned to stone. From a distance, it looked like xp was wielding a brick aimed straight at Leopard's head. Although Leopard activated Metalization at a critical moment, it was still dazed by xp's powerful strike. By now, Leopard had been pushed to the edge of the Arena.
Without giving his opponent a chance to react, xp unleashed another water jet that sent Leopard tumbling off the edge of the Arena.
There was a loud thud as Leopard crashed heavily onto the ground. It lost consciousness immediately without even registering what had happened. Despite xp's attacks not being numerous, aside from the initial Small Earthquake Technique and fireballs aimed at Leopard's lower limbs, all subsequent attacks had targeted its head. If there were such terms now, Liu Guanfeng would likely conclude that this Leopard had suffered a concussion.
Only then did Ma Sanbao react with an exclamation of "Oh my!" as he rushed offstage. His subordinates scrambled to carry Leopard to the Mount medical room. It wasn't until after Leopard was taken away that the audience finally reacted, erupting into thunderous applause and cheers for xp.
