63: Chapter 63 Mud Man's Driving Test Part Two: A Failed Attempt!
“Cinder Flame!”
Long Han took action at this moment.
The lush green canopy of the Spirit Crown Tree swayed as its leaves turned fiery red, erupting into a blazing fire and transforming into a tall Ember Crown Fire Tree.
The dark brown bark also turned a deep, dark red, emitting a fiery hot halo that caused the temperature on the battle stage to rise sharply.
Red arms emerged from the Elemental Spirit's ribs, and it clenched its fingers to grab the surging fire elements, condensing two Flame Pythons to strangle the Ice Crystal Sparrow.
“Screech—!”
The Ice Crystal Sparrow released a Frost Shield to protect itself, skillfully dodging amidst the wind blades and Flame Pythons.
The Elemental Spirit was still in its juvenile stage, but it had already mastered the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, making the Ice Crystal Sparrow's ice element ineffective.
All it could do was try to stall for time as much as possible.
The Heart-Confusing Fox was in an even worse state.
Rock Spikes appeared continuously like thick weeds, leaving it with no place to land and forcing it to flee incessantly until it was nearly exhausted.
Yue Yun noticed the change in the Spirit Crown Tree.
The aggressiveness of the Spirit Crown Tree increased significantly after transforming into the Ember Crown Fire Tree. Its burning branches shook, whipping out fiery streaks of flame that lashed down towards Yue Yun's head.
Yue Yun abandoned the Thousand Poison Centipede to dodge slightly.
The streaks of flame struck the ground, leaving blackened whip marks, showing that the Ember Crown Fire Tree's attack power was quite impressive.
Immediately after, several more solid streaks of flame attacked.
Swish, swish, swish!
The streaks of flame whipped through the air, making sharp sounds.
Like a burning octopus waving its tentacles, they lashed out at Yue Yun from all directions, refusing to stop until they hit their target.
Yue Yun, however, didn't seem to take the Ember Crown Fire Tree seriously.
His figure shifted and dodged amidst the constantly falling streaks of flame, moving as easily and comfortably as if he were dancing, without feeling the slightest threat.
The smile on the corner of Yue Yun's mouth looked quite mocking.
“This bastard!”
Long Han clenched his fists, squeezing his contract power to activate the A-rank Beast Taming Talent, Sacred Flame Empowerment. Radiant sparks appeared around him and crossed the battle stage to infuse into the Ember Crown Fire Tree.
Whoosh—!
The Ember Crown Fire Tree burned even more intensely. The crimson flames took on golden-red light and shadows, and the constantly exploding sparks were like burning stars, emitting a somewhat holy aura.
The golden-red flames rolled like ocean waves, condensing into a golden-red fireball in the center of the Ember Canopy. The terrifying temperature caused distorted heatwaves to rise from the battle stage.
Yue Yun also felt a strong sense of trepidation.
This fireball was like a sun; the energy contained within was self-evident, and if successfully released, it would undoubtedly sweep through the entire battle stage.
What if it exploded before being released?
Yue Yun immediately put on a calm expression.
Everyone saw him stand firm, raising his right hand with confidence, and shouting loudly: “Execute Divine Punishment!”
Everyone instantly became tense.
They stared at Yue Yun without blinking.
For a Beast Tamer with such a unique system, did he have any other way to break the situation at this critical moment besides transforming into a Terracotta Warrior?
Long Han was breaking out in a cold sweat, as if facing a formidable enemy.
“How can this be... Could he have other powers?”
He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
Everyone, including him, held their breath as a few short yet long seconds slipped away right before their eyes.
What also slipped away was a wrist-thick Lightning Pillar!
Azure lightning streaked across the sky and crashed into the golden-red sun. The Lightning Pillar instantly exploded, releasing energy like a fuse detonating an extremely compressed small sun.
“Not good, run!”
Long Han's expression changed drastically as he shouted out.
The terrifying fireball exploded instantly, and the extremely compressed energy was released without control, causing the temperature on the stage to skyrocket.
The firelight illuminated the entire Beast Taming Field!
The powerful shockwave knocked the Heart-Confusing Fox off the battle stage, the Thousand Poison Centipede was also blown away by the heatwave, and even Yue Yun's figure was swallowed by the flames.
Even the Elemental Spirit's form shook incessantly.
When the flames dissipated, the originally vibrant Spirit Crown Tree looked like burnt deadwood, its trunk crackling.
Long Han and Ouyang Chao hurriedly recalled their Pet Beasts.
Wen Guyu's delicate face was covered in black lines, and the corner of her eye twitched uncontrollably: “My god, this guy is a pure Demon Seed!”
If released by the Ember Crown Fire Tree, it could at least be controlled.
But being detonated by the Thunderwing Griffin, it truly didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Fortunately, the Elemental Spirit had a high resistance to fire. It gathered its form again and controlled the remaining massive amount of fire elements, combining them with the wind element to unleash a Flame Tornado no weaker than a thunderstorm.
The Ice Crystal Sparrow had just stabilized itself from the small sun's explosion.
When it saw the Flame Tornado flying towards it, it instantly cried out in distress and flew off the battle stage, forfeiting its qualification.
Setting aside the matter of winning or losing.
If hit by this move of an opposing attribute, the Ice Crystal Sparrow would need a very long time to recover its condition.
The Elemental Spirit immediately gave up the chase.
It controlled the Flame Tornado to change direction and charge towards Yue Yun's original position like an unstoppable chariot.
Yue Yun's figure had already disappeared in the firelight.
In his original position, a Divine General nearly four meters tall stood tall, looking exactly like a Terracotta Warrior, filled with majesty and a sense of oppression.
Facing the menacing Flame Tornado, the Divine General simply charged up for a horizontal sweep, forcefully dispersing it with a Divine Dragon Tail Swipe.
Wen Guyu's expression became even more solemn.
Facing a Divine General with a health bar over fifteen meters long, even the Elemental Spirit would find it hard to decide the outcome in a short time.
However, Yue Yun's contract power wouldn't last much longer either.
“Fly up!”
Under her control, the Elemental Spirit was lifted into the air by invisible winds, increasing the distance to face the Divine General from afar.
Jiang Hanqiu's eyes lit up in the audience stands.
He nodded in approval: “That's it! Although Yue Yun becomes much stronger after turning into a Terracotta Warrior, he also becomes much more cumbersome. As long as you fly into the sky, you don't have to fear him!”
Not just him, almost everyone felt they had found the way to deal with the Divine General and couldn't help but feel smug.
However, Yue Yun's performance was once again unexpected!
The Divine General carried the three-pronged halberd and sprinted with power. A surging divine light appeared at the edge of the three-pronged halberd, carrying terrifying power.
Aiming, jumping, and swinging the blade—the actions were done in one smooth motion.
The Divine General leaped twenty meters high, and after surpassing the Elemental Spirit, it slashed down at its head as the explosive Divine Might was now slashed out boldly.
The Elemental Spirit was caught off guard.
The majestic three-pronged halberd split its body, and the terrifying energy tore apart the harmony of the elements within it, causing it to dissipate into elements and lose Wen Guyu's exquisite form.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened.
They never expected that this seemingly cumbersome Terracotta Warrior could jump twenty meters high and hit the Elemental Spirit in the air.
This was completely inconsistent with the bulky appearance of a Terracotta Warrior!
Jiang Hanqiu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
He admitted that this thing was very hard to deal with.
Wen Guyu's expression also became extremely unsightly.
The Elemental Spirit's body had dissipated quite thoroughly, and it took some time to reform, only manifesting Wen Guyu's exquisite silhouette after a while.
Whoosh!
The Divine General leaped into the air once more and slashed it apart.
