Chapter 135: Super Defense
All eyes were on Dominic’s Raging Flame Bull.
However, Mike’s body began to change.
Not only did it became extremely sticky, it had also become very soft.
Its pink skin spread out like a tablecloth, and it looked as if it was going to wrap his opponent up!
Its strange ability left everyone dumbstruck.
Meanwhile, the Raging Flame Bull gradually slowed down. Even Dominic’s orders were unable to accelerate it any further.
By the time Mike devoured half of the Raging Flame Bull’s body, its charge had already stopped, and its hind legs were visibly trembling…
Although the rules had forbade partic.i.p.ants from killing each other, it had mentioned nothing about killing their opponent’s Battle Beasts.
“Continue eating, Mike!” Lawrence’s command made Mike devour even faster.
Around a minute later, the Raging Flame Bull’s body was completely wrapped up by the tablecloth-like substance!
Following that, Mike then returned into its pink pig form.
The referee was stunned for a few seconds. However, upon regaining his senses, he then announced, “The winner of the first match is… Lawrence from the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy!”
“Wow…”
“Its Battle Beast’s ability is really unique…”
“There’s more than meets the eye to this fatty…”
“As expected of one of the three great academies. We shouldn’t have underestimated them…”
The audience was in an uproar, and they unable to calm down for a long time.
Dominic knelt on the platform, his face full of disbelief.
He simply could not accept what had happened.
His Raging Flame Bull was a Stage 2, Level 1 purple quality beast.
It was extremely valuable!
Moreover, he had no confidence that he would hatch such an excellent Battle Beast again!
His future was already destroyed!
In a fit of rage, he rushed towards Lawrence with the intention of beating him to death!
“Hart! Restrain this disappointment to our academy!” The instructor in the preparation area shouted. However, it was not because he wanted to protect Lawrence, rather, it was to prevent the Military Academy from being disqualified.
In a flash, Hart appeared before his teammate.
“Dominic, head back down. The instructor is already angry…” The person said coldly.
“Get lost! I must regain my Battle Beast!” Dominic had already lost his mind. He raised his fist and attempted to punch his teammate.
Bang!
However, it was not his opponent who was sent flying.
Dominic, who was kicked off the fighting ring, did not care about his bleeding face. Instead, he constantly hit the ground and yelled sorrowfully.
A few instructors quickly came forward and dragged him away. They were worried that the academy’s reputation would plunge because of Dominic’s actions.
“Inform the academy… That Dominic has been expulsed, and relegate him to be a border guard…” Bronte hated sore losers.
Since Hart was already on the stage, he did not bother heading back down.
Noticing that Lawrence was about to leave, he shouted, “Don’t go! Let’s continue!”
However, Lawrence had a silly smile on his face. He scratched his head and said, “I’m sorry! My Battle Beast isn’t feeling well. It needs to rest for now. Please hold on…”
With that, Lawrence led Mike down the stage…
“Senior Lawrence! You’re amazing!” Rosetti rubbed the pink pig’s snout and praised it as well. “You too…”
Although she was happy, she also felt slightly guilty.
After all, she should not have judged a book by its cover.
Mike seemed to have an upset stomach. Before long, it was already lying on the ground in pain.
Lawrence anxiously exclaimed, “Quick! Rosetti, help me check Mike’s condition!”
She summoned her Life Spirit again and inspected the pink pig.
However, she soon frowned and said, “Senior Lawrence, Mike ate too much and he’s suffering from indigestion. He needs to rest well. Could it be due to the bull that he ate?”
“That’s right, the bull is in its stomach now…” Lawrence explained, “Actually, Mike can digest Battle Beasts or Daemons that are lower level than it very quickly. However, if their level is higher than Mike’s, it will take a long time to digest. It seems that the bull is higher level than Mike, after all”. Oh no! What should I do now?”
While the two of them were panicking at what to do, Locke walked up and said, “Your Battle Beast is very interesting, but it doesn’t look too good right now…”
The referee on the stage announced, “Federal Academy, please send out your partic.i.p.ant!”
Rosetti was a support who had zero combat capabilities. As such, it was Locke’s turn to take the stage.
With the support of his Gale Wings, Locke had reached the stage in a single leap.
Hart turned around to look at his captain, as if he was waiting for instructions.
“It’s okay, you play with him first. I’ll come up later…”
Once Bronte had finished speaking, Hart immediately summoned his Battle Beast.
It looked very unique. It was a gorilla that had grenades strapped to its body and it wore a beret on its head.
“Locke, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to face my captain in combat!”
Hart did not waste any more time and immediately commanded his Battle Beast to attack!
The grenades that this gorilla threw were very accurate. They nearly hit Locke every time.
The audience who supported the Military Academy began to cheer again.
“Locke! Do you think that I can’t hurt you?”
After acc.u.mulating some mana, Hart unleashed ten grenades around Locke.
“Fire G.o.d’s Armor!” Locke immediately summoned his Infinite Fire Element.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
Once the smoke dispersed, Locke was unharmed.
In the eyes of the audience, Locke was only wearing ordinary clothes!
To them, Locke had no protection at all.
However, there were still experts on scene.
Secretary Peter was one of said experts.
He inspected Locke’s body carefully and noticed that there was a faint layer of fire enveloping his body.
“Interesting…” He stood up and walked to the edge of the spectator stand. “Hobrick, I’m going to take a good look at the genius you mentioned…”
The audience was filled with questions.
“What kind of joke is this? There’s not a single injury on his body?”
“Are all of the students from the Federal Academy weirdos?”
“Who knows? But I still think Hart will win…”
“Of course! This kid has always been known for his ruthless attacks…”
Hart’s mind was replaying the previous attack. He could not figure out how Locke had come out unscathed from his attack.
Since he did not see Locke’s actions, he could only continue to probe him.
Hart issued his ape a telepathic order, and soon after, the ape began to hurl its grenades at a greater speed!
After experiencing the defensive capabilities of the Fire G.o.d’s Armor, Locke did not bother to dodge, and instead, he yawned at the gorilla’s barrage.
