In the hall of the Beast Fighting Arena, there were several layers of people inside and outside.
On the stage, Su Ming and Chang Xiaotian stood on both sides.
"Did anyone place a bet? Even though none of you think highly of the new students, I think his luck is worth a packet of spicy strips."
"Tsk, look at you. I bet ten bags that Chang Xiaotian will definitely win!"
"I bet on Chang Xiaotian too. Didn't you see his results at the end of last semester? He's not for show."
"If I were a new student, I would cry to death if I lost a Wild beast with the True Phoenix bloodline."
"I would feel like dropping out immediately!"
"He's still too young and impulsive! He shouldn't have agreed."
Amidst the chatter, the arena countdown began.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the arena battle begins!"
Chang Xiaotian did not act like a senior at all and took the lead to release the Withered Tree Branch.
Just now, Su Ming had already learned about the other party from the character information and the Wild Beast Index.
Withered Tree Branch. Attribute: Wood. Brutal Skill: Piercing.
Moreover, it could also pierce quickly and with great strength. It looked like countless spikes were stabbing towards the Giant Chicken. If one was not careful, there would definitely be a string of bloody holes.
Su Ming did not counterattack immediately. Instead, he instructed the Giant Chicken to dodge.
When he had roughly figured out the barbaric technique of the Withered Tree Branch, he ordered the Giant Chicken to release its Soaring Whirlwind and Tornado skills.
Previously, the Giant Chicken had already broken the Withered Tree Branch once, so it did not take it seriously at all. With a flap of its wings, it broke the Withered Tree Branch that looked like a row of spikes.
It was that simple.
"Behind! Chicken Peck!"
Su Ming commanded.
The Giant Chicken reacted quickly. It flapped its wings and turned its head, just in time to peck the Withered Tree Branch that was attacking from behind.
But it still pierced through a few feathers.
The students below the stage watched attentively and commented.
"This freshman's reaction speed is really good!"
"Indeed, very few people can dodge this backstab of a Withered Tree Branch."
"The key is that his coordination with the Giant Chicken is also excellent. The timing is a little off. There will be a few more holes on this chicken's back."
"Don't praise me too soon. This is just the beginning!"
The Giant Chicken pecked hard. The Withered Tree Branch broke again with a crack.
But in the next moment, Su Ming shouted from the side, "To the left, Direct Fire Spray!"
The Giant Chicken opened its mouth and shot a tongue of fire.
The Withered Tree Branch caught fire and was quickly burned in half.
However, it darted out from another direction and pierced quickly and fiercely, attacking the Giant Chicken in no time.
Su Ming understood now.
He had just looked at Chang Xiaotian's character information and saw 'Healing (C)' in the Talent column.
So that was the effect.
The Withered Tree Branch seemed to have an infinite life force. No matter how the Giant Chicken broke it, burned it, or pecked it, it could recover quickly with the enhancement of Chang Xiaotian's Grade C healing talent. It also appeared from another direction unexpectedly and stabbed its spikes at the enemy.
"Haha, it's over. The new student is dumbfounded."
"Chang Xiaotian's Withered Tree Rejuvenation has defeated countless opponents, right?"
"Hehe, thank you for your reminder. I'm one of the opponents who was defeated."
"Come, come, let's bet again. How many minutes can a freshman last?"
"Wow, not bad! You've used your talent! I bet ten minutes that the new students aren't that bad!"
As he spoke, the situation on the stage changed again.
Chang Xiaotian's healing talent was very outstanding, Su Ming's Giant Chicken was unable to completely kill the dead tree branch. It was even almost pierced by the Withered Tree Branch several times.
Still, the tables had turned.
Su Ming first looked at the attack skill of the Withered Tree Branch, then saw Chang Xiaotian's Grade C healing talent.
It looked as if it was really strong.
But talent? He had it too!
Su Ming smiled at Chang Xiaotian. "Senior, is that all?"
Chang Xiaotian was commanding the Withered Tree Branch to surround the Giant Chicken when he heard Su Ming's question.
"What?"
Su Ming waved his hand and said, "Is this all you've got, Senior? Then it's my turn now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and cast a talent enhancement on the Giant Chicken. "Reproduction! Soaring Whirlwind!"
The strength of the Giant Chicken's wings changed from one to two, then to four, then to eight, continuously overlapping.
The sound of cracking continued. Chang Xiaotian's healing technique kept healing the Withered Tree Branch, but Su Ming's reproduction technique kept adding chips to the Giant Chicken.
At this moment, one side was constantly healing, while the other was constantly destroying.
Destruction was easy, but healing was difficult.
Not long after, Chang Xiaotian's forehead was covered in sweat. He was clearly exhausted.
During this period, Su Ming kept changing the Giant Chicken's attack skills. He flapped his wings and used Soaring Whirlwind, Chicken Peck, Tornado, but he didn't use Flame Spray.
He waited.
It was not until the heat of the Giant Chicken's body increased rapidly that Su Ming gave the order. "Reproduction, spray!"
The Giant Chicken opened its mouth and spat out a tongue of fire. It instantly turned into countless flames that poured down on the Withered Tree Branch like a rain of fire.
It took a moment for the flames to die.
Chang Xiaotian's face was covered in sweat, and his expression was extremely ugly.
At this moment, the Withered Tree Branch had turned into charcoal. No matter how his treatment was activated, the dead tree branch did not react at all.
The countdown for winning and losing sounded. Within the stipulated seconds, the Withered Tree Branch did not regain its fighting posture.
The arena judgment system announced the results of the battle:
"Winner, Su Ming, Giant Bird."
For a moment, no one in the audience could react.
It took a few seconds for someone to come back to their senses.
"It's really the effect of Omnidirectional Flame Destruction."
"When I replayed the video, it didn't seem so shocking. But now, it feels so f*cking awesome!"
"There's indeed a difference between the video and the live effects, but the important thing is that this freshman didn't use it skillfully last time. It was probably just a lucky guess. This time, he's much more experienced."
"I see."
Everyone looked at the two people on the stage. Under Chang Xiaotian's treatment, the Withered Tree Branch finally slowly returned to normal.
However, at the thought that it was going to belong to Su Ming, Chang Xiaotian was about to cry.
However, he could not deny it. He could only endure the pain and hand the Withered Tree Branch to Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at the withered branch and shook his head. "This thing is too trashy. I don't want it."
Everyone below the stage: "…"
This kid was too much! He had defeated him and still called him trash.
The Withered Tree Branch was probably going to become autistic when he got back.
Chang Xiaotian was angry, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He didn't want it? That was great!
Unexpectedly, Su Ming said, "I want Senior's Hundred-Year Withered Pillar."
Chang Xiaotian was stunned. How did this kid know he had a Hundred-Year Withered Pillar?
But the loser had to pay the price.
After comparing the Hundred-Year Withered Pillar with the Withered Tree Branch, Chang Xiaotian reluctantly handed over the Hundred-Year Withered Pillar.
Su Ming happily accepted the spoils of war and patted the Giant Chicken's head. "Look, look, this is good stuff!"
This thing could be used as a nest for flying-type Wild beasts like the Giant Chicken. It was effective in restoring their stamina.
What a bargain!
