“Extreme Ice Beam.”
Wen Xiayun's gaze remained dull, and without even arguing with the leading instructor, he directly commanded his pet to attack.
As his voice fell, the winding Xuanbing Serpent probed its head from behind Wen Xiayun, opened its dragon mouth, and a thick beam of light, radiating cold air, spewed out, scattering towards the group of students.
At this point, the leading instructor, instead of panicking, calmed down, his expression becoming serene as he leisurely loosened his sleeves.
“Wen Xiayun, your Wen family is truly audacious. Since that's the case, I don't need to worry anymore. I'll just kill you right here.”
As he spoke, a wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking the ice beam. The terrifying ice beam even distorted the surrounding light, slowing it down, but it couldn't break through the earthen wall at all, and even the temperature was blocked.
“Earth Spirit, Earth Vein Amplification, Earth Vein Surge, Earth Prison.”
The leading instructor spoke calmly, and as he did, the ground began to shake violently. Six identical, barely humanoid pets stood up from the earth.
These were his Earth Spirits. A quasi-King-level pet master could contract six pets, and he had chosen Earth Spirits for all of them. This extreme contracting method was actually a mainstream approach in the world of pet masters. Some pet masters with insufficient talent, or whose talent only worked on one type of pet, would choose this method, focusing on cultivating one type of pet to the extreme, hoping to surpass those geniuses.
As the leading instructor's voice fell, all six of his Earth Spirits began to act methodically, like machines.
The five Earth Spirits with lower aptitude all glowed with an earthy yellow light. This was Earth Vein Amplification, a ground-type amplification skill that simultaneously increased their attack and defense by one level each.
Then, a connection lit up between the five Earth Spirits and the remaining one, the only one with golden aptitude. The amplification light from the five Earth Spirits surged into the golden-aptitude Earth Spirit.
Earth Vein Surge could transfer one's own attribute changes to their own kind, which was also an exclusive skill of Earth Spirit pets.
In an instant, the golden-aptitude Earth Spirit's aura expanded to the limit, its attack and defense both increasing by five levels, and its attributes increasing by times.
Its palm, larger than a normal person's chest, pressed against the ground, and two Earth Prisons rose from the ground, dividing the battlefield.
The outer layer of the Earth Prison enveloped everyone, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from spreading and harming the surrounding people, as this was, after all, a city area.
The second Earth Prison, however, trapped it and Wen Xiayun together. At this moment, Wen Xiayun had to face a same-level quasi-King whose attributes had been amplified to the extreme.
“Go, kill it.”
The leading instructor's expression didn't change at all, as if he were casually saying what to eat tonight.
The Earth Spirit took heavy steps towards the Xuanbing Serpent, which, after equipping itself with a layer of ice armor to strengthen its own defense, also met it head-on. Neither side dodged, and they just clashed head-on.
Because both sides were slow-moving pets, they couldn't dodge even if they wanted to. The Xuanbing Serpent's speed stat was only 30 points, and the Earth Spirit was a bit stronger, but only slightly, and couldn't dodge at all.
【Earth Spirit】
【Attribute: Ground】
【HP Stat: 100】
【Attack Stat: 120】
【Defense Stat: 130】
【Special Attack Stat: 55】
【Special Defense Stat: 65】
【Speed Stat: 45】
【Total Stats: 515】
But in terms of attributes, the Earth Spirit could be said to be at a considerable disadvantage, because the Earth Spirit's strength lay in attack and defense, while its special defense was quite weak. However, it was facing the Xuanbing Serpent, which was known for its high dual resistances and high special attack. If it didn't make any preparations, it definitely wouldn't be a match for the Xuanbing Serpent, because even the Earth Spirit's powerful attack would have a hard time breaking through the Xuanbing Serpent's defense.
But the one standing here now wasn't an ordinary Earth Spirit, but an Earth Spirit whose attack had been strengthened by five levels.
So now the situation had become a passionate mutual kill, and whoever struck first would win.
Inside the inner Earth Prison, another wall of earth was released, narrowly blocking the Extreme Ice Beam spewed out by the Xuanbing Serpent. The Earth Spirit strode to the Xuanbing Serpent's side, reached out and grabbed the Xuanbing Serpent's neck, and slammed it to the ground, making a dull sound.
It's stable!
Seeing this scene, the leading instructor had already issued a death notice to the Xuanbing Serpent in his heart. After all, no matter what, it was impossible for it to survive from the Earth Spirit's hands in a close-quarters situation.
Sure enough, this slam caused the Xuanbing Serpent to make a dull sound on the ground, and everyone outside was shaken, while the Xuanbing Serpent inside was even more dizzy.
The Earth Spirit, having gained the advantage, didn't stop at all, and immediately leaned forward, its huge body leaping high and smashing down on the Xuanbing Serpent.
At this moment, Wen Xiayun's dull face even became slightly ferocious. This was the pet contract giving a warning, and the Xuanbing Serpent's life was in a precarious state.
But even so, Wen Xiayun still didn't say that he would let his other pets come out to help.
Seeing this scene, the leading instructor frowned. A normal pet master would definitely not have this kind of reaction in this situation, so it was only possible that the other party's pets were not on him.
But if they weren't on him, where could they be?
The Earth Spirit outside the second layer of the Earth Prison didn't send any warnings, which meant that those pets hadn't attacked the students outside. It was probably normal to think so. It seemed that these guys didn't have the guts to really break ties with the Imperial Academy and the Empire.
But in that case, it seemed that they only had one place to go.
“You're having your pet hold me back with its life, just thinking of killing Qian Er?”
The leading instructor said with certainty.
But Wen Xiayun still had a dull expression, and there was no change on his face.
But at this time, the leading instructor was already convinced that this guy was planning to do this. Sometimes, not answering was also an answer.
“Are you so sure you can beat him?”
The leading instructor asked with a strange expression. After all, although Qian Er was a student on the surface, he was also a genuine quasi-King-level pet master, and he was a big level higher than this ground-type professor. It was just that his pet's level wasn't as high as his.
“……”
But the leading instructor still received silence. This guy Wen Xiayun was like he couldn't speak, and he didn't have any reaction.
At this time, the battle in the arena had come to an end. The Xuanbing Serpent was covered in scars, and its scales were scraped off by the Earth Spirit like scraping fish scales. At this time, it was already dying, and when the pet suffered this kind of injury, the pain would be shared with the pet master. At this time, Wen Xiayun's facial muscles were trembling slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, but he still didn't say anything.
“Alas, family, it's really scary. Give it a break, Earth Spirit.”
Seeing this scene, the leading instructor sighed, but just as the Earth Spirit was about to strike, a shocking scream came from outside.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
Hearing this voice, Wen Xiayun, even though he was enduring the pain of being scraped, his eyes, which hadn't had any fluctuations, immediately changed. He stared fiercely at the leading instructor and asked word by word.
“What did you do?!”
