140: The King of Force is coming

The plot, as Li Wen had expected, unfolded as the powerful Earth Armor Earth Dragon fully utilized its attribute advantage and successfully defeated its opponent.

However, one aspect greatly surprised Li Wen.

Despite the Earth Armor Earth Dragon having an absolute attribute advantage, the opponent's attack power managed to ignore this gap, causing a certain degree of damage to the Earth Armor Earth Dragon.

Nevertheless, the cost of doing so was substantial—due to forcing an attack through attribute suppression, its Energy Value consumption rate was extremely fast, leading to severe lack of stamina.

In contrast, the Earth Armor Earth Dragon gradually stabilized the situation relying on its excellent recovery ability.

After an intense battle, under the Earth Armor Earth Dragon's multi-layered tight defense, it finally managed to defeat its opponent at the cost of losing half of its Energy Value.

It must be said that the performance of the fellow on stage was actually quite commendable.

What a pity, for Li Wen, this level was far from enough. If one were to be so arrogant with just this much ability, it would be too foolish.

Just then, a new challenger stepped onto the stage.

The appearance of this challenger immediately made Li Wen realize the other methods hidden behind him.

After all, anyone who dared to directly challenge many strong individuals on stage would certainly not have a main pet primarily focused on defense.

Especially in this place teeming with geniuses, trying to defeat twenty-five opponents one by one purely through attrition tactics was almost like a pipe dream, with a success rate close to zero.

Thorny Blade Dragon

attribute: Wood/Dragon

Species: Elite High-tier

growth level: Proficient Primary

Energy Value: 1000

trait: Thorny Dragon Scales: The Thorny Blade Dragon can manipulate wood elements and Dragon power to form Thorny Dragon Scales that cover its entire body. These Dragon Scales are not only incredibly tough but also covered in sharp thorns, allowing it to counter-attack enemies while defending. In battle, it can flexibly use its Thorny Dragon Scales to both protect itself and attack enemies.

Skill ①: Leaf Blade

...Skill ②: Leaf Slash

...Skill ③: Wood Dragon Barrier: The Thorny Blade Dragon can quickly summon a Dragon-shaped barrier made of wood elements, forming a solid defensive shield. The Wood Dragon Barrier can not only withstand enemy attacks but also provide cover for teammates at critical moments, ensuring victory in battle.

Skill ④: Blade Wind Assault: The Thorny Blade Dragon can swing its sharp Dragon claws, unleashing an assault attack with a blade wind. The blade wind is fast and powerful, capable of instantly tearing through enemy defenses and causing heavy damage.

Skill ⑤: Thorny Entanglement: The Thorny Blade Dragon can release a large amount of thorns, tightly entangling enemies. The thorns not only restrict enemy movement but can also cause continuous damage to enemies through the Growth of wood elements.

Skill ⑥: Sky-Scattering Petals: At critical moments, the Thorny Blade Dragon can merge wood elements with itself, launching thorny petals that spread across the sky. After hitting a target, it increases its own attack power, and hitting itself can trigger [Thorny Dragon Scales], immunizing damage while also triggering a counter-thorn effect.

Just by glancing at this pet beast from afar, one could clearly feel its powerful aggressiveness.

Compared to the previous one, the aura it exuded was even sharper and fiercer, as if it could pounce on an enemy at any moment to deliver a fatal blow.

However, upon closer inspection, it would be found that despite its strong aggressiveness, there were still subtle details revealing a slight defensive bias.

Presumably, the key factor for the Beast Tamer choosing such a pet beast should be its appreciation for the extremely high defense that the Dragon Faction can provide.

Utilizing this excellent defensive ability, an indestructible “receiving team” can be built, making it difficult for opponents to break through the defense line when attacking.

Just then, with the appearance of this pet beast, the entire scene instantly changed.

The previously somewhat relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense, and people unconsciously realized that this battle had entered team battle mode.

Before this, almost all other participants had, without exception, chosen one-on-one duels.

The main reason for this was perhaps the extremely tight schedule before the College Entrance Examination, which forced most people to concentrate their efforts on training only one pet beast, thus leading to their lack of experience and strategy for team battles.

Now, having arrived at the university campus, the situation was completely different.

Here, team battles had already become the mainstream form of combat.

However, the players on stage had obviously not fully adapted to this new combat mode.

Facing the opponent's Sky-Scattering Petals Skill, they were not only unable to effectively organize a counter-attack.

Instead, they were severely suppressed by the opponent's infinitely stacking attack power and the high-defense Dragon Faction pet beast, falling into an extremely passive situation, allowing the opponent to torment them relentlessly.

A mere half an hour passed in a flash.

At this point, more than twenty people from the Archaeology Department and Machinery Department combined had already been defeated in this fierce competition.

And now, only the relatively smaller Breeding Department, Medical Department, and Secret Realm Department remained to appear.

It was clearly unrealistic to have the Medical Department and Secret Realm Department participate in the battle.

After all, these two departments themselves had a limited number of students, and the possibility of

monster

-level individuals with extraordinary strength appearing among them was even more remote.

Just then, a shocking statement was heard.

“If, after another ten minutes, no one dares to challenge, then this mission can be considered as the Combat Department having successfully met its target.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen, who had been silent, suddenly understood—it was their turn to act.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and, with a hint of inquiry, softly asked Li Wen beside him.

“How about I go up first to scout the way and test the waters for you?”

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, Li Wen shook his head without hesitation, then gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.

“Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken! Leave this small scene to me!”

With that, Li Wen stretched his muscles and walked towards the arena... Lu Chen: ??? Are you human?

Since the scene had already become an exclusive stage for experts to showcase their prowess, the Combat Department teachers, seeing this, made a decisive move and simply removed all the arenas originally used for student sparring.

As a result, the subsequent battles could directly unfold within this vast combat area.

At this moment, Li Wen, slowly walking towards the center of the arena, was still indecisively considering which pet beast to send out for a one-versus-two battle.

And just as he was about to make his entrance, seeing him about to go on stage, the thoughtful teacher had already silently activated the protective shield device around the combat area.

With a slight energy fluctuation, a transparent protective barrier quietly rose, like a giant bowl inverted over the arena, tightly enveloping the entire combat zone.
