Electric Hedgehog Form

"Give me a minute."

It was rare for She Pili to be energetic. He operated his phone and sent a folder to Chen Mo.

"Alright, this is the information on the top eight contestants that I mobilized my connections to find for you. Work hard!"

Chen Mo opened the folder and found that it contained the details of the other seven contestants and spirit beasts in the top eight.

Chen Mo was touched by this.

Senior Brother She really treated him as a junior brother.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"There's no need to thank me. Don't feel pressured. Just treat it as accumulating actual combat experience."

With that, She Pili patted Chen Mo's shoulder, stretched and left unsteadily.

—-|—-

The next day, after Chen Mo bought a set of xiaolongbao and sweet soy milk, he ate and headed to the gymnasium.

As soon as he arrived at the competition venue, he realized that there seemed to be a lot of audiences today!

There were also many familiar faces. Most of them were his high school classmates.

What he did not know was that because of his outstanding performance in the previous rounds, he had now become one of the seeded contestants. In addition, his spirit beast was doubted as an Awakening level spirit beast, so it naturally became the center of attention for the media.

Soon, after drawing lots, Chen Mo saw the information of the opponents in the top eight.

[Beast Tamer: Shen Jun]

[Spirit Beast: Flame Monkey]

[Spiritual Beast Growth Level: Transcendence Level 2]

[Competition Venue: Venue 1]

[Competition Time: 10:00]

"As expected, the further you go, the stronger your opponent becomes. Fortunately, you didn't get to be one of the three seeded contestants. Xiao Jiu, are you confident?"

"Chirp!" (No problem!)

"If I remember correctly, the Flame Monkey is the evolved form of the Little Fire Monkey. Did he let the spirit beast evolve so early?"

Sitting on the chair, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu looked at the contestant information that Senior Brother She had sent him.

Evolution was a process for a spirit beast to reach a more perfect form. It needed to be catalyzed through special items or learn special moves. After evolution, the spirit beast's life form and potential would undergo a qualitative change.

Ordinary spirit beasts had the chance to evolve at the Transcendence level, but most Beast Tamers would wait until the spiritual power in the spirit beast core was close to its limit before preparing to evolve.

This was because the more perfect the evolution process, the higher the potential of the spirit beast and the further it could go in the future.

Very few Beast Tamers were willing to overdraft the potential of a spirit beast in exchange for combat strength, unless they treated it as a temporary spirit beast.

For a Fire Monkey to evolve so early, its potential would definitely be affected.

"The Beast Tamer talent is Fierce Flame. It's a strengthening talent that can increase fire-element skills…"

"I've mastered Sparks, Flame Fist, Fierce Flame Fist…"

"His combat style is very radical. He likes to fight close to his opponents and has a certain foundation in combat…"

The information given by Senior Brother She was quite detailed. Chen Mo silently praised him in his heart.

Before going on stage, Xiao Jiu ate dozens of honey milk candies in a row as usual to maximize its condition.

This scene was seen by a female reporter who had been paying attention to Chen Mo. The female reporter took out her camera and took a photo of this scene.

It was not that he suspected that the Blazing Flame Fox was taking drugs.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the spirit beasts of both sides would be inspected by the spiritual-type spirit beast called "Spiritual Eye". Once it was discovered that they had taken drugs, the contestants would be banned from the competition for at least five years.

Moreover, who would take drugs so openly?!

"Looking at the packaging, it seems to be… honey milk candy? Perhaps there's a story behind it…"

The female reporter said thoughtfully.

Both sides went on stage. After a "friendly" exchange, the competition officially began!

Since Xiao Jiu's specialty was defense, Chen Mo stopped pretending.

After the competition began, Xiao Jiu stood rooted to the ground. Then, it looked at the Flame Monkey opposite it with an extremely arrogant gaze.

Its intention was obvious—come over here!

In any case, the Flame Monkey's main attack method was physical attacks. Sooner or later, it would have to fight the Blazing Flame Fox head-on.

It might as well stay where it was and conserve some energy.

As expected, the Flame Monkey ran quickly and approached the Blazing Flame Fox in the blink of an eye.

'"Fierce Flame Fist!"

Shen Jun shouted.

Fierce Flame Fist, an intermediate-level move!

After knowing that the Blazing Flame Fox's defense was outstanding, the Flame Monkey used its strongest move.

Swoosh!

A flame suddenly ignited on the Flame Monkey's fist and the flame expanded into a raging fire in an instant.

What surprised everyone was that the Blazing Flame Fox did not dodge when it saw the incoming Fierce Flame Fist. Purple electric arcs flickered around its claws and crackled. It seemed to be ready to counterattack?

"You still want to rely on your defense to injure me? Then you've miscalculated."

Seeing that the Blazing Flame Fox had no intention of dodging, Shen Jun thought to himself.

The moment the Flame Monkey swung its fist, the flames on its fist suddenly became exuberant like a burning sun, emitting a shocking temperature.

"Do you really think I can't break your defense? Flame Monkey, break!"

Shen Jun smiled. His Beast Taming Talent was Fierce Flame, which could increase the power of the spirit beast's fire-element skills!

He had not used it in the previous matches for this moment!

Can you withstand this punch?

Xiao Jiu panicked a little when it saw the Flame Monkey's attack become fierce all of a sudden. However, Chen Mo's voice quickly came from the bottom of its heart.

"Use Thorny Thunder Sting, then use Swift Thunder Claw immediately."

The familiar voice calmed Xiao Jiu down.

Fist winds blew. Just as the Flame Fist was about to hit the Blazing Flame Fox, dark purple light spikes that were completely condensed from lightning suddenly grew out of the Blazing Flame Fox's body.

Because it was an incomplete version, the lightning spikes on the Blazing Flame Fox were not as dense as the Thunder-Scaled Turtle.

However, in the face of the current situation, it was enough!

This move was specially used to counter close combat attacks. Its effect was similar to anti-armor.

The Flame Monkey's pupils dilated when it saw this scene and it subconsciously retracted its strength.

Wouldn't it die from the pain of that punch?!

However, its punches were too fierce and decisive previously. It was too late to stop now!

Boom!

Lightning and flame mixed!

A loud bang erupted in the center of the arena. After the collision, the Blazing Flame Monkey's face was ferocious and its face twitched.

It hurts! It hurts too much!

At the same time, the Blazing Flame Fox's Swift Thunder Claw also hit the Blazing Flame Monkey. Under the double lightning strike, the Blazing Flame Monkey was sent flying, leaving a long black mark on the ground.

The Flame Monkey's entire body was charred black and it would twitch from time to time.

Simply put, he was electrocuted.

The Blazing Flame Fox did not feel good either. Although its defense had reached an astonishing level with the enhancement of many attributes, the Flame Monkey's punch also had effects on it. Its fur that was hit by the Fierce Flame Fist was charred.

Looking at the fox that looked like an electric hedgehog, Shen Jun could not help but fall into deep thought.

How could there be such a strange Beast Tamer and spirit beast!

"Thunder Ball!"

"I admit defeat!"

The Blazing Flame Monkey had basically lost the ability to continue fighting. Seeing that the Blazing Flame Fox was about to attack again, Shen Jun hurriedly admitted defeat.

After the battle ended, the two shimmering dandelions went on stage and used the Light Healing Technique to heal the injuries of the two spirit beasts.

A few minutes later, the Blazing Flame Fox's charred fur was restored to its original state.

This made Xiao Jiu, who thought that it had been disfigured, heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, its fur was fine.
