Just as Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu were preparing to release the Divine Fire Dojo, the two closest competitors from Qieying Country had already completed their rendezvous.
"Li Zhengxian, should we go look for other teammates first, or just find a place to hunker down?"
One of them, a rough-looking uncle with a scruffy beard and a beefy face, asked.
"No hurry. I saw Chen Mo from Dongxia not far from here before, and there were no other Dongxia competitors nearby. Let’s go eliminate him first."
Beside the uncle, a young man named Li Zhengxian spoke calmly.
Before the competition, he had done thorough research on competitors from other countries and knew that Chen Mo’s Spiritual Beast was just a Low-level Dominator Six-tailed Spirit Fox.
Absolutely an easy target.
Let’s eliminate him first!
After all, eliminating a competitor meant one step closer to entering the finals!
The uncle cracked a smile.
What he enjoyed most was a dominating fight; both of them together had 2 Mid-stage Dominator and 1 Low-level Dominator Fire Element Spirit Beast.
How could a Low-level Dominator Six-tailed Spirit Fox compete against them?
So, they rushed eagerly towards Chen Mo’s direction.
However, when they were still over 200 meters away from Xiao Jiu, they felt an extremely terrifying surge of Flame Energy!
This searing heat was even more intense than the Nanming Lihuo released by Yan Xi!
"What’s going on!? This aura, it seems like an Overlord Ninth Rank or even stronger presence."
The uncle frowned, his eyes showing gravity.
"It’s probably just a bluff. Don’t worry. Before the competition started, I had the Flame Emperor Sparrow scout the environment around our nation. That direction only had Chen Mo alone."
Li Zhengxian stated with conviction.
"Maybe it’s just that kid Chen Mo making a fuss on purpose. He wants to create the illusion that an Overlord Ninth Rank Spiritual Beast is lurking around, so other competitors wouldn’t dare to approach, allowing him to skulk till the end! This must also be why he chose to go solo."
Li Zhengxian mulled it over as he articulated his thoughts, believing himself to be a genius for coming up with such a reasonable explanation so swiftly.
Your ideas are indeed good, but unfortunately, you’ve run into me. I’ve already observed that in that direction, there’s only you!
Didn’t expect that, did you, Chen Mo?
"That... kind of makes sense."
The Spirit Master uncle was quickly persuaded, but still felt something was off, although he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
They continued to advance towards Chen Mo.
Soon, they spotted Chen Mo and the Six-tailed Spirit Fox.
At that moment, the Six-tailed Spirit Fox was hovering in the air, its six fiery tails wildly waving, its body completely enveloped in a blood-red flame resembling the sunset.
Although they didn’t know what this flame was, just watching from a distance, they could feel the extreme destructive power and ruinous nature within!
The dreadful Flame Energy that they had felt earlier was emanating from Xiao Jiu!
"Li Zhengxian, maybe we should just forget it? I think the priority should be to find our other teammates."
Seeing the imposing aura emitted by Xiao Jiu, the bearded uncle hesitated.
This presence didn’t seem pretentious at all!
"What’s there to be afraid of!? Watch me!"
Seeing this scene, Li Zhengxian’s belief in his hypothesis only solidified.
A Third Rank Dominator Spiritual Beast emitting such a terrifying aura!?
It must be a type of bluffing technique!
"Flame Emperor Sparrow, use Fire Feather Storm!"
Li Zhengxian commanded his Spiritual Beast to attack.
His own Red Flame Sparrow, with a wingspan exceeding two meters, flapped its wings, preparing to unleash the advanced move Fire Feather Storm.
However, before the Flame Emperor Sparrow could make a move, the Six-tailed Spirit Fox had already fused the five types of Mythical Fire.
What followed was— the release of the Fire God Dojo!
Centered on Xiao Jiu, a blood-red, powerful flame spread outward at a staggering speed, spanning across the sky and the earth, nearly covering half of the Flame Demon Nest range!
This dojo, created by the fusion of the five types of Mythical Fire, was temporarily named by Chen Mo, the Fire God Dojo.
And within the dojo, the mythic-level flames, which held the properties of all five types of Mythical Fire, possessed incomparable destructive power to both spirit and body!
The Qieying Country duo’s Spiritual Beasts met their demise "peacefully."
In less than a second, their Spiritual Beasts turned to ash by the terrifyingly intense, blood-red flames, forcibly ejected from the prime world.
Then their wristbands beeped, showing the red "Eliminated" characters.
Of course, Chen Mo had noticed the Qieying Country duo long ago but didn’t care.
Just two small fries anyway, instantly taken out as soon as the dojo was open!
Of course, the Fire God Dojo didn’t just eliminate the Qieying duo; its range extended a thousand kilometers around Xiao Jiu!
Although not as vast as the Fire Phoenix Yanxi Nanming Lihuo Dojo, capable of covering the entire Flame Demon Nest, it was still an impressively large area!
Not far away, several competitors from Star Flag Country and a few others were battling for one of the Fire Phoenix clones.
The clone was a Sixth Rank Dominator, and the competitors present all had the power to defeat it.
However, while fighting the clone, they also had to guard against other competitors looking for an opportunity to sneak attack or backstab, so no one dared to have their Spiritual Beasts reveal their full strength.
The scene was stuck in a deadlock for the moment.
