Chapter 76: Pick Was Up
“I want to challenge your Thunder Arcane Realm.” After the battle just now, many people in the queue consciously dispersed. Fang Yuan, who was carrying the golden Pick, came directly to the front of the queue.
“Oh, you want to challenge me with a defeated opponent that you just picked up?” Although the uncle felt that the young man in front of him had some strength, as the person who had guarded this arcane realm for ten years, he did not think that Fang Yuan was the chosen one.
Other than the students of the Iron Castle Military Academy, there were also those who were determined to apply for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
“I was introduced by Dongli Kelle, the director of the admissions office of the Iron Castle Military Academy,” Fang Yuan said.
“There are 100 people who claim to be recommended by the teacher every day,” the uncle said with a mocking tone. “How do I believe you?”
Fang Yuan suddenly felt that the uncle in front of him was actually not annoying. He was just pretending to be disgusting to others. His real purpose was to select the real strong ones.
He placed the golden pick mouse on the table. The uncle was confused by his actions.
“Let’s do it again. I want to use this pick mouse to fight with your lightning bird,” Fang Yuan said confidently.
“What!” The cup in the uncle’s hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. “Even if you’re joking, there must be a limit.”
“I’m not joking.” Fang Yuan’s serious expression and the confidence in his eyes made the uncle suddenly laugh.
The uncle summoned the thunder sparrow and said, “Just now before Du Du could attack, it was already hiding behind its master. A weak pet is not worth nurturing, don’t you know that?”
Golden pick mouse saw the thunder sparrow staring at it as if it was looking at food. It wanted to hide again behind Fang Yuan, but it was pressed at the front by Fang Yuan.
“I’ll call you Pick from now on. You’ve been strengthened, so you can defeat it.” Although Fang Yuan was saying the comforting words, Pick saw that Fang Yuan’s expression was filled with malevolence.
That feeling was even more terrifying than seeing the thunder sparrow.
Seeing Pick still hesitating, Fang Yuan whispered into its ear, “I have a steel gryphon in my hand. It loves to eat mouse. You’d better win the compet.i.tion, or you’ll become its food tomorrow.”
Pick’s eyes were full of tears. It thought it had met a kind master, but it turned out to be even worse than the previous master.
Fang Yuan gently stroked its head and said, “Believe me, you can win. You are now a hundred times stronger than before!”
Pick wiped its tears. When Fang Yuan hugged it just now, it indeed felt the increase in strength.
“Are you done negotiating with the little guy? Can we start the compet.i.tion now?” The uncle had unknowingly walked to the front of the bar counter.
“Come on!” Fang Yuan said, “Let’s fight!”
The uncle pressed a b.u.t.ton, and all the tables in the center of the huge hall descended. Then, a compet.i.tion stage raised up.
Pick and Lightning Sparrow appeared on both sides of the stage.
The enthusiastic audience appeared again. He began to introduce pa.s.sionately, “The lightning pick mouse has once again issued a challenge to the thunder sparrow. This time, it stands openly on the stage. If it hides behind its master again, it will be directly judged as a loser.”
Just as the stage appeared, Fang Yuan also received the detailed information of the lightning sparrow.
[ Scientific name: Lightning Sparrow. ]
[ Bloodline: Yi Xi. ]
[ Rarity: Gold-high-grade. ]
[ Attributes: Bird, lightning, divine beast descendant (fake) ]
[ Positioning: Attack/defense. ]
[ Skills: 1. Lightning turbulence, 2. Sprint, 3. Elementary Lightning repelling. ]
The more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. This bird did not look extraordinary, but it was actually a descendant of a divine beast. Fortunately, it was only of a gold-high-grade. Its basic lightning strike seemed to be the nemesis of thunder-type pet beasts. I felt like I had placed a dangerous bet, Fang Yuan thought to himself.
The sparrow saw the mouse in front of it and could not help but drool.
Pick was shivering.
“Don’t be afraid, Pick! Use the burrow skill!” Just as the swallow turned into lightning and was ready to sprint, Fang Yuan instructed Pick to use the burrow skill to dodge the swallow’s attack.
Then, he appeared behind the swallow and used his nose to gather lightning to attack the swallow.
“He hit it!” The enthusiastic audience explained, “But the Lightning Sparrow itself has the elementary lightning repelling ability, which means that the lightning sparrow has a certain probability of not being damaged by lightning-type skills! This attack clearly missed. Not only did it not cause any damage, it actually angered the opponent. The Lightning Sparrow launched an even more violent attack. But, Pick once again hid underground…”
Fang Yuan looked at the scene in front of him.
He suddenly thought of a solution.
“Pick, do you trust me?” He communicated with Pick through his consciousness.
Pick shook his head desperately, but he saw Fang Yuan draw Xiao Jin’s appearance in his consciousness, which was even more terrifying than the lightning sparrow.
Although his eyes were full of tears, he kept nodding.
“Just do as I say. You can do it.”
After setting everything up, Fang Yuan placed his hands in front of his chest and watched the battle in front of him with confidence.
Ever since the uncle was a.s.signed here, there had been people challenging him every day, but he had not lost for a long time.
“Young man, my Du Du is the descendant of a divine beast. If your mouse provokes it again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect it. Why don’t you surrender?” The uncle said. This was the truth, and the lightning sparrow on the field became more and more irritable, it even seemed to ignore the danger of the audience.
Fang Yuan said coldly, “As long as Pick doesn’t lose, you don’t have to protect it, do you?”
Hearing this, the audience became emotional, and many girls even began to cheer for Pick.
Pick was constantly fighting with the lightning sparrow on the field. The lightning sparrow was getting more and more hot-tempered, and its speed was also getting faster and faster. When Pick wasn’t paying attention, it took Pick in its mouth.
“The winner has been decided.” The uncle revealed a bitter smile. “I thought this young man could play with me for a while, but it turns out it’s just…”
Before he could finish, Pick, which was in the lightning sparrow’s mouth, was acc.u.mulating all the electricity in his body and shooting it into the sparrow’s body!
“If the external attacks are ineffective, is the body completely insulated?” Fang Yuan asked the uncle.
Just as the yellow lightning and blue lightning crossed each other, the thunder sparrow landed on the stage.
Pick lay on the ground, while the thunder sparrow raised its head and let out a long cry, as if announcing its victory.
However, in the next second, the thunder sparrow fell to the ground. Pick mouse, on the other hand, staggered to its feet.
“Oh my G.o.d! Go, go, go!” The enthusiastic audience’s commentary disappeared for a while, but at the end of the game, it sounded again, “The pick mouse was defeated by the lightning sparrow in terms of both attributes and race. Under such circ.u.mstances, he actually completed the counter-attack! This young man is really incredible!”
“Good job, Pick!” Fang Yuan gave a thumbs-up to the fat rat on the stage.
Pick also stood up, gave Fang Yuan a “yeah” sign.
But at this moment, the lightning sparrow also stood up. Its whole body was covered in black shadows, and it stared at Pick with murderous intent.
