167: Chapter 167 The Swordsman of Drifting Leaves Invites a Challenge

The Divine General performed a front kick and pulled out the three-pronged halberd.

The follow-up attack that the Bishui Jiao had imagined did not come; instead, it saw the Divine General pull back and leap back to the shore.

Whoosh!

Golden energy flared up, and the Divine General's tall, towering figure dissipated, revealing Yue Yun with a fluffy orange ball on top of his head.

He glanced at Xu Qingfang beside him, the corners of his mouth curling into a joyful arc, and raised his right hand, forming a fist.

Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun bumped fists.

"This coordination is perfect!"

Mo Yu emerged from his hiding spot, grinning.

The Thunderwing Griffin's Spear of the Thunder God is a lock-on skill; it's fast and deals high damage, perfectly compensating for the Divine General's ability to keep enemies in place.

This combination had been mentioned before, but today was the first time it was actually used, and the results were unexpectedly good.

The Bishui Jiao recovered from the pain, saw the three grinning young Beast Tamers on the shore, then looked at its own scarred, slender body, and felt a sense of bitterness in its heart.

"If I had known you were this strong, I wouldn't have been so stubborn!"

The Bishui Jiao complained inwardly while diving into the lake to recover, its Aura once again disappearing without a trace.

With the enhancement of the water domain, the Bishui Jiao's recovery ability was greatly increased. Although its injuries were not light, they were still within a controllable range.

It occupied this lake as its territory, and nearby Pet Beasts would not easily approach due to its deterrence, which was perfect for Xu Qingfang and the other two to rest and recover their spent energy.

The Safety Officer was amazed in the distance.

He couldn't fully understand Xu Qingfang and Yue Yun's thoughts, but he had to admit that they were both rare Genius Beast Tamers.

Whether it was Xu Qingfang, who had gained the recognition of the Thunderwing Griffin, or Yue Yun, who was unique in the Beast-Taming School, their futures were limitless.

Perhaps their unrestrained imagination, as well as their ability to put ideas into action and bear the consequences, was a unique talent that their peers could hardly reach.

The Safety Officer was lost in thought.

He suddenly noticed movement not far away; a team even stronger than the Three Heavenly Kings was approaching rapidly.

Before Xu Qingfang and the other two could finish resting, Wen Guyu from Qinghu First Middle School appeared in view with Shen Dao and Long Han, rushing towards this location.

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

Wen Guyu took the initiative to greet the Three Heavenly Kings.

Before the Three Heavenly Kings could respond, Wen Guyu noticed the residual battle traces on the lake and let out a wail like a defeated dog.

Seeing this, Shen Dao and Long Han also lowered their heads and sighed.

Xu Qingfang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

It wasn't hard to guess that Wen Guyu and the other two were looking for powerful Pet Beasts to showcase their strength by challenging them.

The strength of the Bishui Jiao went without saying.

Xu Qingfang's team had already defeated the Bishui Jiao, and it wouldn't accept another challenge in a short time. Even if they forced a battle, the score wouldn't be high due to its low state.

Instead of sighing here, it would be better to cherish the time and go find the next powerful Pet Beast to challenge.

Wen Guyu looked at Xu Qingfang: "We have already found seven powerful Pet Beasts, but they have all been challenged!"

Although they couldn't see the Pet Beast in the lake.

But being able to be challenged by Xu Qingfang's team meant that this Pet Beast's strength was definitely not weak; it was a standout among three-star Pet Beasts.

Challenging this powerful Pet Beast could add a lot of points to Xu Qingfang's team, and since Wen Guyu and the other two hadn't successfully challenged any Pet Beast yet, how could they not be envious?

After understanding the situation, the Three Heavenly Kings were speechless.

Mo Yu clicked his tongue: "You guys are too miserable!"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Wen Guyu curled her lips, feeling extremely helpless.

Shen Dao and Long Han were also dumbfounded; they had wandered around looking for powerful Pet Beasts, only to find ones that had already been challenged, as if the world was playing a joke on them.

Seeing this, Xu Qingfang and the other two had no choice but to comfort them.

Swish!

A bright green figure flashed in front of Yue Yun.

The newcomer looked like a bamboo spirit, with jade-like bamboo segments cleverly pieced together, its structure light and tough.

The bamboo leaves acting as fingers were slender and sharp, gripping a bamboo branch with a few leaves hanging from it, as if it were truly holding a sword.

Yue Yun recognized this Pet Beast; it was exactly the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman contracted by Shen Dao, whom they had fought during the Campus Championship.

"What's the matter?"

Yue Yun asked in a gentle tone.

The Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman flipped the bamboo branch sword in its hand, bowed slightly to salute Yue Yun, and its thin figure radiated burning Battle Intent.

Shen Dao's expression turned slightly serious as he spoke earnestly: "Qingye lost to you at the Campus Championship, but it believes that the outcome was not decided between you and it, but rather it lost to that golden thunderstorm. Qingye has been training hard during this time, hoping that one day it could fight you again to determine the outcome as a Martial Artist."

The Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman nodded slightly, its little black bean-like eyes wide open, with endless Battle Intent bursting forth from them.

It gripped the bamboo branch sword tightly and began to gesture, its expression urgent as if it were saying something, leaving everyone stunned.

Shen Dao translated dutifully from the side: "Qingye says you are a strong opponent and hopes to fight you again to determine the unfinished outcome! Please!"

Shen Dao and the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman bowed to Yue Yun.

Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu were dumbfounded, while Wen Guyu and Long Han wanted to speak but stopped, eventually turning their heads in unison to look at Yue Yun.

Yue Yun had just fought the Bishui Jiao; although he wasn't injured, he wasn't in his best state either, so it would be reasonable for him to refuse.

This matter was the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman's obsession. Although Yue Yun was also a Martial Artist, he had no reason to have to agree.

No one interjected; instead, they left the decision to Yue Yun. Just like how the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman bypassed everyone else to make the request only to Yue Yun, this was a matter between Martial Artists.

"Alright!"

Yue Yun did not refuse the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman's challenge.

The Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman valued Yue Yun's kung fu, and Yue Yun also happened to want to test what he had learned to see if it met his expectations.

Shen Dao breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Yue Yun gratefully.

The others also looked over curiously.

The Safety Officers of both teams also stopped chatting and stood in the distance, looking over here, equally curious.

Yue Yun's strength was obvious to all, and a fair fight with the Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman certainly made people curious about who was stronger.

Yue Yun placed Miao Sang into Mo Yu's arms, picked up his machete, walked to the center of the clearing, stretched his muscles, and assumed a stance.

"Please!"

Yue Yun's Aura changed as he assumed his stance; the gentleness vanished into thin air, transforming into a domineering force surging from his waist and abdomen, with rigid, fierce power flowing along the blade.

The Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman held its sword and bowed.

The next second, the bamboo branch sword flashed before his eyes.

Clang!

The blade of the bamboo branch sword was emerald green and slender; when it slashed down, it erupted with unimaginable power, like a giant axe falling.

It was a strike with the force of splitting Mount Hua, powerful and heavy.

Yue Yun's machete flickered slightly; amidst the rigidity, a soft force emerged, like gentle water waves catching the pressure of the bamboo branch sword and dissolving it, gently deflecting it to the side.

The Floating Leaf Bamboo Swordsman shook its blade slightly, and the bamboo branch sword, like a duck shaking off water, broke free from Yue Yun's clever force and attacked again.

Ping! Pang!

For a moment, blades clashed, and the two fought inseparably.
