Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1169 - 1170: Crushing Defeat

At this moment, the teachers and the scions of the families present also deduced this situation. Naturally, they had measures to cope with it, but the male student did not have a second Beast Tamer yet, thus this weakness could not be remedied in a short time. Not to mention him, even Feng Yuan could not possibly make up for such a glaring deficiency.

"Tch! You’re just lucky."

The male student also realized this issue. However, he did not have any good solutions. If it were those ordinary commoners, it would be fine, but the person in front of him obviously possessed no small measure of combat talent. To claim victory would probably be very difficult, but... to admit defeat voluntarily, that was not their style, let alone giving up hope for a turnaround.

The metallic roars echoed in the competition field, and Feng Yuan sighed after looking at the rampaging metal storm, saying

"Is it really that hard to admit defeat?"

"Unless facing an insurmountable adversary, as long as there’s hope, they cannot give in. This is their will."

Zhong Liuyan, who had approached Feng Yuan unnoticed, said. Regarding the opponent’s tactic, she too didn’t know how to evaluate it. The metal-based Destruction Storm·Gold was a very special ultimate move. No matter what came before, once this move was used, one would definitely lose the ability to fight. Immunity-type or indomitable, even invincible powers, could not exempt one from this effect. Consequently, the power of this ultimate move was terrifyingly formidable.

"How can they use this move in a competition!"

A teacher slammed the table and shouted angrily. This kind of desperate ultimate move was not meant for such a trivial competition. Aside from regional major competitions, even official Beast Tamer contests rarely allowed the use of such moves. However, this guidance match was just an event, without stringent rules.

Thus, the opponent used this move. The most troublesome aspect of Destruction Storm was its power, which exponentially increased based on the energy expended – a high-penetration ultimate move that most barriers or even spatial Barriers could not resist or negate from the power of the Destruction Storm.

This was also why its use was prohibited in most competitions, as its penetrative power could even break through the safety protective measures of the competition venues, and in severe cases, could pose life-threatening danger.

"What a mess..."

Feng Yuan shook his head and sighed helplessly. As for whether this Destruction Storm posed a fatal threat to Qi Chen? If it truly did, he would have already had Agunas intervene to save him.

The Wolf Tooth necklace slowly released a faint glow, space twisted around Qi Chen, and compared with Ah Mu, Qi Chen had an even harder time finding footing in the space ravaged by sharp metal fragments. Neither Ah Mu’s Barrier nor protective measures could safeguard Qi Chen, who stood atop its tree canopy. The penetrative force of the ultimate move rendered all of Ah Mu’s protective techniques ineffective.

However, even if this ultimate move was rule-breaking in its power, the active metal energy that had been suppressed to half by the Seistal Stele had already greatly diminished its power. The so-called power amplification was nothing more than the active energy making up for the lacking portion of power.

After a while, the howling metal debris storm swiftly dissipated, the Iron Dwarf’s Fire Gun fell to the ground, and the Iron Dwarf collapsed on the ground like a robot without any energy. The male student was covered in wounds, traces left by the Destruction Storm.

This ultimate move did not discriminate between friend or foe. If he did not have a way to protect himself inside the Destruction Storm, it wouldn’t be surprising to be directly taken out by this move, even as it was an ultimate move used by his own Beast Tamer.

"Still... lost..."

Seeing that Ah Mu remained standing in the field, although covered in wounds, with the leaves of its canopy scattered by the Destruction Storm, the male student revealed a bitter smile and collapsed on the field. Before the pre-arranged medical personnel could approach, a verdant light fell from the sky, landing on him.

On the presiding platform, a middle-aged woman nodded at her own Beast Tamer after looking on. The healing light was at her instruction. There was no other way; relying on the medical personnel alone might not heal the wounds on his body quickly enough. Nevertheless, even so, he still had to go back and rest for a while and change his clothes.

Seeing this, Liu Yan slightly furrowed her brows and remembered something, quickly leaving. She initially thought this guidance match was just an exchange between Beastmasters, but never expected that there would be attacks aimed at the Beastmasters themselves. However, she couldn’t say anything about it.

There has never been a rule stating that official Beast Tamer competitions do not allow attacks on the Beastmasters, it’s just that most people abide by that unwritten rule, not willing to target their opponents. However, the scions of these great families are somewhat different. In their training and teachings, attacks on the Beastmasters are part of their regimen.

Because once their strength is sufficient, they will venture into the wilderness for exploration, collecting Spiritual Medicine and Materials for themselves and their families. This is both a repayment and a trade; the family provided them with the resources they needed to grow when they were weak, and when they became powerful, they would, in turn, nourish their own family. Thus, they never mind directly attacking Beastmasters whenever they deem it necessary.

However, if rules forbid it, they will adhere to them strictly, because they are among those who establish the rules. They are nobility, and following the rules is an instinct engraved in their bloodline.

They are beings of contradictions, where order and chaos coexist so vividly within them.

"It’s really... hard to say what I should say."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan returned to the preparation area and, seeing that Qi Chen had not a single scratch on him, how could he not know what had happened? The Wolf Tooth necklace was not only effective against time-related attacks, but before taking fatal damage, the White Wolf Deity’s tooth could immediately erect a Divine Beast Level barrier to protect them.

That was also why he had not been worried before. If Ah Mu was in danger, Qi Chen could still retrieve it into the Spirit Beast Space. And as for himself? With the protection of the Wolf Tooth necklace, those ultimate moves could not breach the White Wolf Deity’s protection.

Of course, Feng Yuan wasn’t so certain about anything beyond Legendary Level, but where would a Good Level Iron Dwarf get the power for an ultimate move of such a high caliber? It was impossible, no matter how much they sacrificed.

"Ah Chen, are you okay?"

As Qi Chen returned to the preparation area, Dou Yanlan rushed over to carefully examine him, only breathing a sigh of relief when she found that he was completely uninjured. She was well aware of the terror of the Destruction Storm, and had it not been for noticing Feng Yuan standing next to her, watching, she might have dashed over herself.

"I’m fine, it protected me from the Destruction Storm’s attack."

Looking at the Wolf Tooth necklace on his chest, Qi Chen said awkwardly. Facing the Destruction Storm, he had indeed felt like he was facing death itself, but thankfully, the necklace swiftly shielded him. Otherwise, he wasn’t sure if he would have survived that storm.

The Rain of Life fell gently, and Ah Mu’s wounds quickly healed, but even so, Ah Mu still looked a bit tired. After all, bearing the brunt of the Iron Dwarf’s Destruction Storm was still a huge strain on it.

"I didn’t expect Ah Mu still had so much to improve upon. Really, the teachers at the academy are different. Yanlan, be... careful, and don’t get hurt."

Qi Chen’s words halted for a moment, then uttered awkwardly. With a light laugh, Dou Yanlan said,

"I won’t let them do that, and just being cautious, they might not fight with all they have."

If it hadn’t been for the pressure from the start, perhaps that boy wouldn’t have ordered the Iron Dwarf to use that move; after all, such ultimate moves are harmful and dangerous for the Iron Dwarf and the boy himself.

" It’s you who should be careful, don’t mess up."

Qi Chen looked speechlessly at Feng Yuan, who was preparing nearby. Xiao Ji tilted its head, looking somewhat puzzled at Qi Chen, not quite understanding the situation. Feng Yuan gave a slight smile and said,

"Don’t worry, if they really want to fight to the death, they’d need the strength to do it first~"

Sighing, Qi Chen did not plan to argue with Feng Yuan about this issue, what he said was, in a sense, also true; he felt that if it were Feng Yuan facing the Destruction Storm, it would likely disappear in an instant.

"Is bullying the weak interesting to you?"

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan as Agunas flicked his tail; really, even the scions of those families were no match for him, and it would be true even if he only used Xiao Ji’s power. That rich combat experience is not something everyone can match; even with equal strength, his combat experience and insight would easily break through those life-risking ultimate moves.
