CHAPTER 277: CHAPTER 262: EXCHANGE TOURNAMENT (4)

Zhou Mo’s guardian beast is an Outstanding Level Upper Grade Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Zhou Mo immediately had his guardian beast use its talent for Bloodthirst and their clan’s secret technique.

At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s aura began to soar wildly, and in the blink of an eye, its aura reached the Seventh Rank Commander Level.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, thinking that the opponent was a bit too eager by going all-out right from the start.

Zhou Mo looked at Chu Chen and said coldly, "If you have no other tricks, today I will definitely defeat you."

Chu Chen heard this and showed no change in expression. He only calmly replied, "Let’s wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo dared not be careless in the slightest. He waved his hand, and several Soul Seals all entered the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s body.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf felt the surging power within its body and couldn’t help but let out a howl, then immediately charged at Lei Yao.

Seeing this, Chu Chen didn’t dare to underestimate it. He waved his hand, and several Soul Seals entered Lei Yao’s body.

Lei Yao, seeing the charging Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf, showed no significant change in expression, only a hint of battle intent in its eyes.

The speed of the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed a ten-zhang distance and appeared in front of Lei Yao.

Seeing the wolf’s claws enlarging rapidly before him, Lei Yao directly raised his fist to meet it head-on.

Only a dull "bang" was heard, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was sent flying backward.

Seeing this, Zhou Mo was instantly shocked, wondering how terrifying the power of this Thunder Ape was before him.

Even with the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf’s trump cards fully exposed, its power was still less than the opponent’s.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo immediately changed tactics, planning to use speed to defeat the opponent.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf started running at extreme speed around Lei Yao, obviously searching for a flaw.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately instructed Lei Yao to deploy Thunder Armor.

Seeing Lei Yao covered in electricity, Zhou Mo instantly showed a look of helplessness.

If the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf chose to attack the opponent in close combat, it would inevitably be paralyzed, and with the opponent’s terrifying power, as long as the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf got hit, the match would basically be over.

Helpless, Zhou Mo could only change tactics once more and opt for ranged attacks using skills.

If against a different opponent, Zhou Mo’s tactics might have worked, but he was faced with Lei Yao, whose skills had all reached the Perfection Level.

With just one strike, the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf was sent flying.

Seeing the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf fall into a coma, Zhou Mo was filled with disbelief.

After the referee announced the result, Chu Chen headed straight back to the rest area.

Next, Zhang Yuyan was set to battle against Shen Meilin from Vermilion Bird City, whose realm was at the Third Rank Commander Level, and her guardian beast was a Hurricane Sabretooth Tiger of Perfect Level Upper Grade quality.

This was the strongest opponent Zhang Yuyan had encountered since participating in the exchange competition.

As the two ladies stepped onto the arena, they didn’t speak, just looked at each other with solemn expressions.

After the referee announced the start of the match, both ladies had their guardian beasts use their trump cards immediately.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion utilized both its talent and secret technique, the Wind Burst Battle Body.

The Hurricane Sabretooth Tiger also used its talent and secret technique.

The battle between the two attracted everyone’s attention, roughly for two reasons.

First, over ninety percent of the top hundred contestants came from the Four Great Cities and the super city Qilin City. The remaining contestants were from medium-sized cities, with only four from small cities. Apart from Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan, the other two had just been defeated in the earlier battles.

Second, this match involved two women, both of whom were S-level prodigies, and their appearances were also top-notch, making this clash between two iconically gifted girls all the more compelling.

After both women applied their Soul Seals to their guardian beasts, the battle officially began.

The lion-tiger duel didn’t involve much complexity; both beasts charged directly at each other, clawing and biting fiercely, making the spectators’ blood boil with excitement.

In the end, the Wind Burst Mad Lion won with a slight advantage.

After the match, staff provided treatment for the Wind Burst Mad Lion, even alleviating the side effects of using its trump card. However, this required extra payment, costing hundreds of thousands for each session.

But no one would hesitate to spend this money.

After watching a few matches, Chu Chen faced his second battle.

This time, his opponent was Ding Cheng from White Tiger City, whose preliminary ranking was twenty-sixth, also an S-level prodigy at the Fourth Rank Commander Level. His guardian beast was a Perfect Quality Snowfield Golden Eagle.

The two chose to engage in a single guardian beast battle.

Ding Cheng, looking at Chu Chen, said spiritedly, "Show me your full strength, let’s have a good fight!"

Chu Chen heard this and smiled, "That depends on whether you can force me to reveal all my strength."

"Haha, fair enough, then I’ll go all out." With that, the Snowfield Golden Eagle let out a loud cry, and dense ice elements rapidly gathered towards it.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but frown, as the upcoming battle might not be as easy as before.

The Snowfield Golden Eagle directly used its talent and secret technique, and its aura surged to the Eighth Rank Commander Level.

Not daring to be complacent, Chu Chen had Lei Yao use its secret technique, with its mastery over the secret technique at eighty percent, thanks to its skills at the Perfection Realm.

After using the secret technique, Lei Yao’s aura shot up to the Seventh Rank Commander Level.

Though there was a slight gap in aura, Lei Yao’s skill level was higher.

After the two beasts exchanged a few skill blows, Lei Yao directly executed the Thunder Shocking Mountain Fist at the Perfection Realm. Had it not withheld thirty percent of its energy midway, the Snowfield Golden Eagle might have been blown apart on the spot.

Ding Cheng clasped his hands to Chu Chen and said, "Thank you. I hope to have another match with you in the future."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "We will, and I look forward to seeing you stronger next time."

With Ding Cheng admitting defeat, the spectators erupted into excitement.

"Damn, I misjudged. This guy’s strength is so strong. I should have bet that he wouldn’t make it into the top twenty-five. It cost me twenty million losses."

"You’re lucky. I lost thirty million."

"You guys are something else. I lost fifty million."

"Haha, you really went all in. Aren’t you going to have to kneel on the washboard when you get home?"

"No way. You guys should know my position at home."

"Of course, your wife tells you to go west, and you wouldn’t dare to go east."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"Let’s be serious. This guy’s guardian beast has already used its secret technique, and if I’m not wrong, the talent of that beast should be something like Sturdy Body, which means his strength might not be much more than this."

"But its skill level should also be high. That last strike should have been an Excellence Level Skill, reaching at least the Minor Achievement Realm."

"So what? Do you think he can make it into the top ten?"

"No way. Never mind those five double S-level prodigies; it’s not happening. But if he makes it to the top twenty-five, I’ll place another bet later. We at least have to win our money back, or we’ll be in for a hard time."

Zhang Yuyan’s second opponent was considerably weaker than Shen Meilin. The Wind Burst Mad Lion only needed to use its secret technique to secure a victory.

After the match, the staff treated the Wind Burst Mad Lion, even eliminating any side effects from using its trump cards, although this required extra payment, costing tens of thousands each time.

But nobody would be unwilling to spend this money.

After watching a few games, Chu Chen was up for his second match.

This time, his opponent was Ding Cheng from White Tiger City, who ranked twenty-sixth in the preliminary rounds and was also an S-level prodigy at the Fourth Rank Commander Level. His guardian beast was a Perfect Quality Snowfield Golden Eagle.

The two chose a one-on-one guardian beast battle.

Looking at Chu Chen eagerly, Ding Cheng said, "Bring out all your strength, let’s have a good match till we’re satisfied."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled, "That will depend on whether you can push me to show my full strength."

"Haha, alright, I’ll go all out then," Ding Cheng said, and the Snowfield Golden Eagle let out a resonant cry, with dense ice elements rapidly converging towards it.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help frowning. It seemed that the upcoming battle wouldn’t be as easy as the last.

The Snowfield Golden Eagle immediately let loose its talent and secret techniques, with its aura surging to the Eighth Rank Commander Level.

Chu Chen didn’t dare be too complacent and had Lei Yao employ Thunder Shocking Mountain Fist.

Lei Yao’s aura shot up to the Seventh Rank Commander Level.

In terms of aura, there was a slight difference, but Lei Yao’s skill level was higher.

After the two beasts exchanged a flurry of attacks, Lei Yao directly unleashed the Thunder Shocking Mountain Fist at the Perfection Realm. If it hadn’t retracted thirty percent of its energy midway, the Snowfield Golden Eagle would have been pulverized.

When Ding Cheng admitted defeat, the crowd immediately erupted into cheers.

"Wow, I was so wrong. This kid is much stronger than I thought. I should have bet on him being in the top twenty-five. I’ve lost twenty million because of this."

"You’re lucky, I lost thirty million."

"Ouch, losing fifty million? You’re going to be in trouble when you get home."

"No way, you guys know my standing at home."

At this, they all burst into laughter.

"It can’t be true. Your wife will have you going west, and you wouldn’t dare to go east."
