Chapter 145 - Still a Child

Chapter 145 Still a Child

At the moment, the protective energy screen around the stage had been activated.

The transparent protective energy screen was rising but it didn’t obstruct the audiences’ view at all. The screen surrounded the stage, leaving only the top open. In this way, the energy from the battle would only leak from the top, exerting no influence on the audience.

On the stage, Fei Yanbo observed the Inferno Dragon that Su Ping had summoned. The Inferno Dragon was full of power and grandeur. Even so, Fei Yanbo felt relieved. Inside, he was sneering. How could an Inferno Dragon that had just reached adulthood compete against his Purple Shadow Fox?

This was a suicidal mission for the Inferno Dragon! That being said, Fei Yanbo didn’t let his guard down. After all, the Inferno Dragon was being mastered by Su Ping, who was probably a titled pet warrior. The huge augmentation skills Su Ping could use on his pets would most likely be the decisive factor!

“Augmentation!” Fei Yanbo raised his hand. He moved his fingers as if playing the piano in the air. Many patterns formed by astral powers automatically flew to the Purple Shadow Fox standing behind him, producing some ripples when the astral powers landed on the Purple Shadow Fox. Each pattern formed by astral powers fell on the Purple Shadow Fox, increasing its momentum.

Apart from the four most basic augmentation skills of strength, blast power, perfection, and firmness, there were other special skills such as resistance augmentation and blood-thirst augmentation.

The blood-thirst augmentation was one of an advanced level, particularly effective when the opponent was a dragon. This augmentation skill could enrage a pet so that it could ignore the overwhelming aura of a dragon.

This augmentation skill was a must-have for advanced battle pet warriors!

Without this skill, when the enemy had a dragon, its presence alone would intimidate the pet whose strength would be greatly weakened. All the chances to win would fade away.

Su Ping stood there and did nothing while Fei Yanbo used many augmentation skills on his

pet.

Augmentation?

No way.

First of all, he had barely reached the fourth rank in his augmentation skills. After all, it hadn’t been long since he started learning augmentation skills. At the fourth rank, their effect would be of minimal influence on the Inferno Dragon.

Second of all, Su Ping had never been fond of the idea of spoiling his pets. He had been doing this at the cultivation sites.

Pets had to rely on themselves if they didn’t wish to lose.

Su Ping would only use augmentation skills if the pets met with overwhelming enemies and could win with the help of augmentations. Other than that, generally speaking, Su Ping would make his pets rely on their own abilities, which would enable a faster growth.

The Inferno Dragon could sense that its opponent was gaining momentum. A glow of excitement and desire to fight was flickering in its eyes!

Roar!

The Inferno Dragon bellowed. The red flames around its body were burning with increasing intensity, emitting an unrestrained bloody and murderous aura.

The Inferno Dragon had been born to be a more ferocious kind among all dragons, which was indicated in its name. The Inferno Dragon was like a violent dragon that came out from hell and its fierce spirit alone was enough to threaten other beasts!

Due to Su Ping’s training, this Inferno Dragon was more bloodthirsty and vicious than others of its kind. This Inferno Dragon smelled strongly of blood.

Fei Yanbo had finished bestowing augmentation skills on the Purple Shadow Fox. He was surprised to see Su Ping remain unmoving. The Inferno Dragon’s roar stunned him. Somehow, he began to tremble with fear.

This dragon was too intimidating!

That being said, no matter how frightening it might appear to be, the Inferno Dragon was still at the seventh rank. This thought soon calmed Fei Yanbo down.

He pulled a long face and sneered at Su Ping. “I can give you one more minute for you to add augmentation skills on your pet. Otherwise, your seventh-rank dragon won’t be a worthwhile contender for my Purple Shadow Fox!”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

Fei Yanbo must have misunderstood something.

Who said that the Inferno Dragon was at the seventh rank?

When did the Inferno Dragon reach adulthood?

It was just larger than the average Inferno Dragons. Currently, his Inferno Dragon was at the upper position of the sixth rank, a child.

He would have to train it for several more days before it could reach adulthood!

Su Ping never bothered to explain and clear those misunderstandings. He gave an order to the Inferno Dragon at once. Kill!

Since the battle was on, he wouldn’t waste time saying some stupid words such as “Get ready. I am going to start.”

If it weren’t for the rule that he had to wait for the “commencement of the battle,” he would have ordered the Inferno Dragon to attack the moment it came out from the pet space. Battle was a fight for your life. Who would wait for both sides to get ready?

Roar!

The Inferno Dragon bellowed as it received Su Ping’s command. The Inferno Dragon could no longer hold back its killing intent. Roaring flames burst out from its red dragon skills. The huge dragon that was burning up charged toward the Purple Shadow Fox!

Fei Yanbo was a bit angry since Su Ping had its pet attack without using any augmentation skills. This was a direct taunt at him!

While angry, he was a bit relieved. Since Su Ping didn’t intervene, the Inferno Dragon was practically fighting both him and the Purple Shadow Fox!

The Purple Shadow Fox alone could have defeated the Inferno Dragon without his help!

“So ignorant!” Fei Yanbo laughed grimly. He passed along his anger to the Purple Shadow Fox and told it to attack without showing any mercy!

Roar!

The Purple Shadow Fox sensed its master’s fury and was stimulated by the blood-thirst augmentation. The Purple Shadow Fox’s purplish eyes turned red, brimming with fury. After a roar, the Purple Shadow Fox dashed toward the Inferno Dragon.

The Purple Shadow Fox was quite fast!

It was a pet of the thunder family. The Purple Shadow Fox was large but also swift. In a mere instant, it had turned into a flash of purple that emerged in front of the Inferno Dragon. Although the Purple Shadow Fox didn’t move first, it was the first to reach its opponent! Thunder Slash! The first skill the Purple Shadow Fox utilized was an advanced pet skill of the thunder family.

All the audience was familiar with the Thunder Slash. They had seen that Lightning Rat using it many times. But this was the first time that they had seen it performed by an advanced pet and everyone was astonished. This Thunder Slash was splendid!

As opposed to the one cast by the Lightning Rat which was short and small, the Purple Shadow Fox had produced a long Thunder Slash with each tail. There were seven Thunder Slashes in total! They looked like seven sharp swords made of thunder and lightning; they swayed flexibly as the Purple Shadow Fox moved. All of a sudden, the Purple Shadow Fox charged at the Inferno Dragon and the Thunder Slashes aimed at its neck, arm, and wings!

It was a demonstration of magnificence and strong power! On the other side, the Inferno Dragon reacted quickly as well. The moment the Purple Shadow Fox moved closer, a flash of violence crossed the Inferno Dragon’s eyes. Flames rose and the Inferno Dragon let out a roar that was enough to wake the dead!

Dragon’s Roar!

The most common deterrence skill known by dragons!

But this Dragon’s Roar… was more than a deterrence skill. It contained some traits of a sonic attack!

The horrifying roar inflicted tangible harm. The Purple Shadow Fox had no time to finish its move. All of its fur was blown back and its facial skin was pulled back so violently that its teeth were showing as if the Purple Shadow Fox were standing in the middle of a hurricane.

Thunder Flame!

A bolt of lightning with hellish fire was falling onto the Purple Shadow Fox’s head!

Apart from some special dragons, most of them could master and manipulate many elements. That was what made dragons formidable.

d

The Purple Shadow Fox was scared. It sensed fatal danger coming from that bolt of burning lightning. The Purple Shadow Fox could feel the power of lightning and thunder and yet there was something more than that.

Whoosh!

The Purple Shadow Fox stepped back quickly and dodged the bolt of lightning. Bang!! The entire stage shook as the bolt of lightning hit the ground. A huge pit with a diameter of seven to eight meters appeared. The inside of the pit was scorched black and the temperature was incredibly high. Fei Yanbo was taken aback. He didn’t expect that this Inferno Dragon could unleash such terrifying powers. This Thunder Flame skill seemed to be one with a combination of two different elements.

There was no time for Fei Yanbo to think. He told the Purple Shadow Fox to strike again.

Thunder Shadow Illusion!

Two Purple Shadow Foxes appeared on the ground!

This was another advanced pet skill. The two huge Purple Shadow Foxes standing there were very eye-catching. They swayed their purple tails which were horrifying, like many purple vipers.

Whoosh!

The two Purple Shadow Foxes charged away. They stomped on the ground. Even though the seats had shock absorption functions, the audiences still felt the shock.

This fight was intense!

On the stage, the two Purple Shadow Foxes charged at the Inferno Dragon from two sides and the Thunder Slash reappeared. At the same time, both Purple Shadow Foxes used a thunder armor to protect their claws and teeth in case they were burnt by the Inferno Dragon’s flames.

Unlike the average flames, those hellish flames were powerful and difficult to put out.

While the Purple Shadow Foxes were taking action, the Inferno Dragon’s flames were spread out, making a sea of fire. The moment the flames came in contact with the two Purple Shadow Foxes, the Inferno Dragon seemed to have identified the real Purple Shadow Fox. The Inferno Dragon dashed out and smashed into the Purple Shadow Fox.

Dragon Impact! A common close combat skill among dragons. It was both common and practical. This skill was quite powerful and could knock over a mountain.

The Purple Shadow Fox was a bit frightened. It couldn’t figure out how that Inferno Dragon had located its real self. That being said, since the Inferno Dragon chose to bash against it, the Purple Shadow Fox was not to be outdone. The Purple Shadow Fox was entangled with lightning bolts and the Thunder Slashes came into being on its tails. At the same time, the Purple Shadow Fox opened its mouth and masses of lightning bolts converged in its mouth.

Whoosh!

This Lightning Cannon was launched.

But the Inferno Dragon didn’t run away. It was still running toward the Purple Shadow Fox regardless of the strike.

Bang!

The Lightning Cannon struck the Inferno Dragon and it bumped into the Purple Shadow Fox.
