35: Chapter 35 Bronze-level Attack Power

Soon, ten minutes quickly passed.

Both sides stepped onto the arena once again. This time, over five hundred people had gathered around the stage; almost all the senior students at the base had rushed over upon hearing the news, wanting to witness the grand spectacle of this "monstrous freshman challenging an established squad" with their own eyes.

Both sides took their positions on the arena.

This time, the six individuals spread out, surrounding Qin Ce in the center.

The newcomers below the stage began to chatter excitedly upon seeing this.

"Is Qin Ce crazy? One against six?"

"No matter how strong his Pet Beast is, it's impossible for him to win!"

"The Thunder Squad's coordination is very seamless; they even took third place in the squad competition last year."

"Now this is going to be a good show..."

Wei Ming took a deep breath: "Both sides, summon your Pet Beasts!"

Light flashed!

On Qin Ce's side, the Qingluan stood proudly, looking extraordinary and majestic. The aura of wind radiated without concealment, faintly carrying a sense of nobility and heavy pressure.

On the Thunder Squad's side, six Pet Beasts of various forms but with fierce auras appeared simultaneously:

A Shadow Bat with a wingspan of over two meters, entirely dark gray and silent.

A Golden-beaked Flying Eagle with dark gold feathers, a hook-like beak, and sharp eyes.

A Violent Ape over three meters tall, with knotted muscles, thumping its chest.

A Moonstar Fox, pure white with a crescent moon mark on its forehead and clever eyes.

A Gale Leopard with a lithe body, fur shimmering with a cyan halo, let out a low growl.

A Thornflower rooted into the arena floor, its vines dancing like snakes.

Six beasts emerged together, their ferocity imposing! Especially the aura emitted by their seamless coordination, which actually seemed to slightly suppress the Qingluan!

Everyone below the stage couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Qin Ce.

This lineup would likely give even some veteran Bronze Rank Beast Tamers a headache.

"The match begins!" Teacher Wei's arm swung down abruptly!

The battle reached a fever pitch from the very first second!

The six members of the Thunder Squad had clearly planned this out, moving simultaneously the moment the battle began!

"Shadow Bat! Ultrasonic Stun!"

At the very back of the team, a tall, thin boy shouted. In front of him, a black, bat-like Pet Beast with a wingspan of nearly a meter and glowing red eyes suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a silent but violently disturbing ripple that shot straight toward the Qingluan in mid-air!

This was a sonic-type attack, aimed at immediately controlling the most threatening aerial unit.

Almost simultaneously, another team member's Golden-beaked Flying Eagle flapped its wings and turned into a golden arrow, shooting straight at the Qingluan from the side. Its sharp beak glinted with a metallic cold light, its speed astonishing!

"Gale Leopard! Wind Blade Blockade!"

"Thornflower! Vine Whip Entanglement!"

On the flank, a leopard with cyan patterns spat out several ordinary Wind Blades. They weren't meant to kill, but to block the space where the Qingluan might dodge. On the ground, a strange, thorny vine plant (Thornflower) lashed out two thick vines like venomous snakes toward the spot where the Qingluan might land, attempting to restrict its movement.

From the front, the Violent Ape roared and charged, its massive fists carrying a vicious wind as it lunged toward the Qingluan in the center of the arena!

The last team member's Moonstar Fox quietly retreated, the crescent moon mark on its brow glowing faintly, clearly preparing some kind of mental-type skill.

Six people and six beasts, with clear roles and seamless coordination—long-range suppression, melee assault, control and interference, mental charging... it was like a simplified Hunting Formation! This was no spur-of-the-moment decision, but a combat instinct formed through years of synergy by this elite senior squad! Even facing a single person, they maintained a cautious attitude as if dealing with a powerful magical beast.

"It's over!"

"That's too ruthless!"

"This freshman was too overconfident!"

Many people below the stage already foresaw the outcome of the Qingluan's defeat and severe injury.

However, at the very moment all the attacks were about to hit, the "stunned" Qingluan's eyes suddenly cleared, even flashing with a hint of mockery.

Immediately after, the Qingluan moved!

Not to dodge, but to... vanish!

No, it didn't vanish; its speed had simply reached the extreme!

Under the enhancement of the "Breath Condensation" talent, the Qingluan's control over the wind element had reached a microscopic level. Combined with the speed of "Wing Flash," its explosive displacement over short distances was blindingly fast!

The Qingluan's speed completely exceeded the visual tracking ability of most people below the stage! They only saw a flash of cyan light, leaving only a faint afterimage in its original place!

Boom—!!

All the attacks—the ultrasound, the eagle's pounce, the Wind Blades, the fists, the vines—all missed, slamming heavily into the spot where the Qingluan had originally been, erupting in a deafening roar and a chaotic storm of energy!

Meanwhile, the Qingluan's true body had already appeared like a ghost above the Shadow Bat, which had just finished releasing its ultrasound and was about to take flight to dodge!

Cyan light condensed upon its sharp claws!

"Bang!"

A claw struck down fiercely!

The Shadow Bat didn't even have time to scream before it was smashed onto the hard floor of the arena like a tattered bag. Its carapace shattered, and it instantly fell unconscious, losing its combat capability!

The first Pet Beast of the six-person squad was out!

In the next moment, it appeared in mid-air above the arena, wings spread wide. Countless highly condensed Wind Blades with edges shimmering like cyan jade poured down like a torrential storm, covering more than half the arena!

This was no longer the single Wind Blade used to toy with Wu Zhou, but an area-of-effect strike!

The members of the Thunder Squad turned pale with horror and hurriedly commanded their Pet Beasts to defend or dodge.

The Violent Ape roared, crossing its arms to protect its head; the Gale Leopard leaped nimbly; the Golden-beaked Flying Eagle ascended rapidly; the Thornflower retracted its vines; the Moonstar Fox hid behind the Violent Ape; and Wu Zhou's Flame Wolf spat fireballs in an attempt to intercept the Wind Blades.

However, the Qingluan's Wind Blades, enhanced by the "Breath Condensation" talent and Bronze Rank energy, were far more powerful than black iron rank skills!

Boom boom boom—!!

The Wind Blades hit the ground, blasting open shallow pits and sending stone fragments flying! The impact made the arena hum and vibrate!

Although the Gale Leopard was agile, the area was too broad; it was still grazed by several Wind Blades, its flesh torn and blood dripping!

The Violent Ape relied on its thick hide to endure, but it was also blasted backward repeatedly, with bloody gashes appearing on its arms!

The Golden-beaked Flying Eagle narrowly avoided most of them, yet a Wind Blade still sliced off a few of its feathers!

Several of the Thornflower's vines were severed!

After just the first round of area-of-effect strikes, every member of the Thunder Squad was injured, and their formation was in total disarray!

The audience below was silent! Everyone was stunned by this violent attack and the Qingluan's ghostly speed! How was this a battle? This was clearly a crushing defeat! A slaughter!

"This... is this really Black Iron High-grade... This is clearly attack power that only the Bronze Rank can possess!" someone murmured with a dry voice.

"Too monstrous! The power of these Wind Blades has definitely reached mid-grade bronze!"

"What breed is his Pet Beast exactly?!"

The faces of the six people turned completely pale, and their hearts were filled with overwhelming shock.

They finally understood why Wu Zhou had lost so miserably.

This was not Black Iron High-grade at all!

This attack power is definitely Bronze Rank!
