"Blazing Divine Lion has triggered Blaze! It's back on its feet!" On the commentary platform, Tian Yiwan spoke excitedly.
"This match looks like a victory for Qiao Sang." Tang Xueran smiled.
As she spoke, the mechanical pet referee reappeared on the field. This time, however, it appeared beside the Phantasm Hate Fox. After observing for a few seconds, the mechanical referee waved a green flag toward Yabao and Qiao Sang’s position.
A giant virtual screen materialized out of thin air. Beneath Chen Tianqin’s name, the photo of the Phantasm Hate Fox turned from color to black and white.
Let us congratulate Qiao Sang for winning the first round! Tian Yiwan announced the result.
The audience erupted into waves of chatter and discussion: "LMAO, Chen Tianqin planned to trade his Phantasm Hate Fox for Qiao Sang’s Blazing Divine Lion, but he didn't expect the opponent to have the Blaze trait. He basically gave away a round for free."
"Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't say that. Chen Tianqin clearly isn't losing out. Blazing Divine Lion's Blaze is active, which means it can't hold out much longer. Don't forget, Chen Tianqin still has two King-level pets in peak condition."
"Can this match be considered a battle of traits?"
"Definitely. Though, I only learned about the Mutual Destruction trait by watching this."
"I wonder how long Blazing Divine Lion's Blaze can last..."
"If I were Qiao Sang, I’d definitely recall Blazing Divine Lion to the Beast Codex to let it recover properly."
"Once Blaze wears off, the pet falls into a state of extreme exhaustion. It’s basically impossible to trigger it twice. How much time is even left in a match? Recovery in the Beast Codex is slow. Instead of recovering just a tiny bit of health, it's better to fight hard while Blaze is active. It might even severely injure Chen Tianqin’s King-level pet before it disappears."

Meanwhile, in the official livestream room, the bullet chat was filling the screen: [Mutual Destruction is a broken trait. It actually triggered Blaze in a King-level pet from a whole level lower.]
[What's scarier is that if the lion didn't have Blaze, it would have lost. A General-level taking down a King-level? I wouldn't have dared to dream it.]
[Chen Tianqin's training at the National Bureau is showing. His strategy has improved so much, trading his weakest pet for the opponent's ace.]
[He hid it deep. We never saw him use such a powerful trait in previous matches.]
[The fox was his fourth contracted pet. He rarely summoned it for matches before. It's likely a trait awakened after evolution, otherwise, the media would have reported on it.]
[Qiao Sang made a mistake! She should have sent out Ice Emperor Ram first! If Lubao were out, one use of Healing Light would have restored her to peak condition.]
[Please, it's the Mutual Destruction trait. The lion stood up because it triggered a trait of its own. If it were a skill, the pet wouldn't be able to cast it unless the fox still had the energy to facilitate it. Ice Emperor Ram's Healing Light is a skill, so it definitely wouldn't work. It would have gone down just like the fox.]
[Don't you dare question Ice Emperor Ram! Does your pet know Healing Light? Do you know anyone whose pet knows it? If you don't know the power of Healing Light, don't act like a know-it-all.]
[The power doesn't matter, the point is it couldn't be cast.]
[You've never seen an Ice Emperor Ram fight a pet with Mutual Destruction, so how would you know?]

On the field.
It actually triggered Blaze... Chen Tianqin’s face darkened.
Ever since he realized Qiao Sang was being scouted for the National Imperial Beast Battle Team, he had specifically researched her previous matches. He naturally knew the Blazing Divine Lion had the Blaze trait.
However, unless the trait reached S-rank, it was essentially impossible to trigger it 100% of the time. When the fox took a direct hit from the lion, it was knocked out instantly; the lion, affected by Mutual Destruction, should have been the same.
I didn't expect it to trigger Blaze while in a fainting state... Chen Tianqin looked at the ferocious, flaming pet in the distance and took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Looking on the bright side, at least Blaze was triggered. The trait doesn't last long. Even if the lion stayed in for the second round, it wouldn't matter much. Chen Tianqin gazed at the young girl in the distance. They say luck is a part of strength, Qiao Sang’s luck was indeed quite good.
"Yap yap..."
The temperature of the flames on Yabao’s body was so high that it seemed to warp the surrounding air. Qiao Sang checked Yabao's condition but made no move.
Rather than recalling him, which would end Blaze and only recover a fraction of his health, it was better to let him vent his extreme anger while Blaze was active. His combat power right now was definitely stronger than it would be after a short rest in the Codex.
"Qiao Sang has not recalled Blazing Divine Lion!" Tian Yiwan noted.
"It seems she intends to let it proceed with the second match."
Tang Xueran added, "I wonder how long Blaze can be maintained."
As they spoke, the 10 light shadow appeared on the field. The mechanical voice followed: 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1.
Chen Tianqin formed a hand seal. A massive crimson star array lit up. Soon, a two-meter-tall, bipedal humanoid pet appeared. Its body transitioned from red to cyan, and its arms held silver-white blades.
Sairunba, a Psychic-type King-level pet. The blades on its arms are condensed by its will. Once combat begins, the blades can transform into greatswords according to its mind. It is one of the few Psychic-type pets that enjoys close combat... Qiao Sang recalled the data.
At the moment Sairunba appeared, Yabao turned into a streak of brilliant fire and charged in a straight line. Sairunba reacted quickly, vanishing and reappearing in the sky a hundred meters away.
However, the second it appeared in the air, Yabao appeared behind it. He opened his mouth, and fierce flames instantly condensed into a giant head of a Blazing Divine Lion, which mirrored his movements and bit down.
Chen Tianqin had seen Yabao's habit of using Fire Fang from behind several times in Qiao Sang's match recordings. Without hesitation, he commanded: "Rear Cut."
Sairunba spun its body, and the blade on its arm expanded several times in size, slashing fiercely toward the descending flaming head. The head formed of flames was split in two and dissipated.
"Sai-run."
Sairunba maintained its downward slashing posture and looked forward. There, Yabao was biting the blade with teeth wreathed in fire. Yabao glanced at Sairunba, and with a crack, the silver-white blade shattered.
Sairunba's expression remained unchanged as it teleported away. When it reappeared, its arm glowed with white light. The attached blade quickly re-condensed, perfectly intact.
There's no need to clash head-on with the lion. If I just stall until Blaze wears off, it will lose naturally... Chen Tianqin analyzed instinctively.
In a flash, countless Blazing Divine Lions appeared on the field! In the high sky, mid-air, and on the ground, they were in every corner of the arena. Chen Tianqin’s pupils shrank.
Holy... The crowd in the stands was equally shocked. Clone wasn't an especially rare skill, but seeing so many majestic lions appear at once provided a massive visual impact.
Yabao's Blaze won't last much longer. We have to end this fast... Qiao Sang commanded:
"Press."
All the lions lunged toward Sairunba simultaneously.
"Sai-run."
Sairunba flicked its wrists, its blades growing larger as it swung them continuously. Blade light danced. Any lion that approached was swept away by the blades, turning into illusions instantly.
I remember Qiao Sang had a match where she used Clone to distract the opponent and then used Meteor Rain. Is she using that tactic again... Chen Tianqin scanned the field rapidly, trying to find the real body. If the lion uses that tactic, Sairunba’s defensive barrier should be able to block it. Once that move passes, Blaze should be gone...
During his search, he saw one lion looking up at the sky. The sunlight suddenly became more piercing.
Sunny Day. She's using Sunny Day to boost Fire-type power before releasing Meteor Rain... With his rich experience, Chen Tianqin immediately realized the plan. An Ultimate level Meteor Rain boosted by Sunny Day and Blaze might be too much for the barrier... No, I can't let the lion release it...
Chen Tianqin made a decision: "Long. Attack the real body."
The swinging blades in Sairunba’s hands glowed white and suddenly extended to about twenty meters. The long blades flickered in a blur. All the surrounding lions vanished in an instant. Only about a dozen remained on the field.
An invisible force radiated from Sairunba, filling the arena. When the force passed a certain point, Sairunba looked up.
"Sai-run."
Found you.
Sairunba’s gaze landed on Yabao, who was raising his head. Sairunba opened its mouth, a silver-white light glowing deep in its throat, and fired a beam toward Yabao. The silver light was like a light cannon firing diagonally upward, carving through the air. Any duplicate lions in its path were annihilated.
Simultaneously, a brilliant golden flame surged over Yabao. His wings snapped open. The golden fire completely replaced the red of Blaze. Yabao flapped his wings powerfully and turned into a streak of golden light, soaring higher into the sky.
The silver beam was terrifyingly fast, reaching a hundred meters in a second. However, Yabao's golden form was even faster. The silver light pursued him but remained a step behind.
This isn't Meteor Rain... Chen Tianqin saw the golden light in the sky and realized something. His face paled as he shouted: "Stop it!"
Sairunba teleported and appeared above the golden light. It swung both arms downward. Two twenty-meter silver blades appeared, crossing into an X as they slashed down toward Yabao.
"Flash!" Qiao Sang commanded.
Almost at the same moment she spoke, the golden light in the high sky vanished, teleporting from beneath the crossed blades to above them!
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out. The silver beam collided with the crossed blades, sending a violent shockwave screaming in all directions.
At the same time, the golden light slammed into Sairunba with brutal force!
"SAI-RUN!"
Sairunba let out a scream. The golden light didn't stop there. It charged toward the highest point. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to reach the same height as the sun.
As the crowd looked up, the sight was blindingly bright, more like the midday sun than the afternoon light. Most people didn't understand the skill, but they could tell it was incredibly powerful. Some knowledgeable spectators widened their eyes and held their breath, waiting for the coming moment.
Damn it! It really is Radiant Impact! Chen Tianqin swore internally and shouted: "Shift!"
Sairunba was being held fast, it couldn't teleport away. The blinding sun fell vertically from the sky with terrifying speed. Intense pain and the sensation of weightlessness spread through Sairunba’s entire body.
BOOM!
With an earth-shaking roar, the sun crashed into the ground. A staggering, horrifying force surged through the arena, and the ground was pulverized. With the sun at the center, the arena collapsed inward. The crater was so large it looked as though a giant abyss had been hollowed out of the center of the field.
Total silence.
From the stands, everyone could clearly see a figure standing proudly in the crater, radiating an innate aura of dominance. Beside it, Sairunba lay with its eyes closed and limbs splayed, completely unconscious.
Chen Tianqin’s face was deathly pale.
After two seconds of silence, Tian Yiwan spoke with deep emotion: "Blazing Divine Lion has unleashed Radiant Impact! It successfully hit Sairunba!"
As he finished, the crowd finally reacted. People talked loudly, their faces flushed with excitement, immersed in the beauty of the violent combat.
"Radiant Impact? What skill is that? That was so cool!"
"You don't know? It's a Fire-type Super-tier skill! Extremely powerful!"
"Holy crap, the lion knows a Super-tier skill too?!"
"I could tell it was Super-tier even without knowing the name!"
"Amazing, Qiao Sang’s pets are truly incredible..."
"Is Sairunba unable to get up?"
Amidst the discussion, the mechanical referee appeared beside Sairunba. After observing for two seconds, it waved the green flag toward Yabao and Qiao Sang.
The virtual screen appeared. The photo of Sairunba beneath Chen Tianqin’s name turned black and white.
"Yap yap..."
Yabao’s expression relaxed, and his body swayed. Just as he was about to collapse, Qiao Sang waved her hand and recalled him into the Beast Codex.
