“Of course, Lolo is very well-behaved!” Oswald Maud said with a smile.
David Jones was delighted upon hearing this, he licked his lips, his heart a bit excited, every time he saw a cat, he couldn’t help but want to caress it.
He stroked the Thunder Lion’s smooth and flamboyant mane, feeling the faint electric current through his fingertips, and nodded satisfactorily.
“Pet Name”: Thunder Lion
“Pet Age”: Three months
“Pet Type”: Electric
“Species Level”: Superior
“Grade”: Fresh Level IX
“Species Skill”: Thunder Roar, Thunderclap Palm, Thunderflash Shock, Thunderstrike Intimidation, Spirit Transformation
“Pet Potential”: Purple A tier
Just looking at its magnificent appearance and body shape, it was hard for anyone to believe that this little guy was only three months old. Just what did it eat to grow so big?
At that moment, the announcer on the Duel Platform had already started explaining the rules of the arena challenge.
Although David Jones listened for a long time, he felt that most of it was irrelevant nonsense.
At the start of the competition, a participant who had pressed the challenge button would be randomly selected by the big screen on the participant seating area as the host.
Each time the host defeated a challenger, they would receive a reward, and if they could defeat ten challengers in a row, they would receive a special prize from the Trainer Guild.
Of course, if the host was defeated by a participant, the winner would automatically become the host and continue to accept challenges from other trainers.
David Jones thought that the most brutal part of this competition was that after each victory, the host only had a short ten-minute rest period, yet they had to face other trainers who were in perfect condition.
Soon, after introducing the rules, the excited announcer exclaimed, “I declare that the Apprentice Host Challenge begins now!”
David Jones pressed the button next to his seat as soon as the announcer finished speaking, but unfortunately, he was still a little slow.
At that moment, the big screen on stage clearly displayed:
Host: Contestant No. 0236, Oswald Maud”
“Challenger: Contestant No. 0031, Cedric Joel”
David Jones immediately looked at the handsome, cultured young man beside him.
“Well, I’ll go up and make a fool of myself first!” Oswald Maud’s face showed a faint smile full of confidence.
“Looking forward to your performance!” David Jones raised his eyebrows and said softly.
He was very curious about how many trainers this trainer, who possessed a Purple Superior Thunder Lion, would be able to defeat.
“Now, please welcome the first match’s host and challenger to the stage!” The host’s hearty and enthusiastic voice rang through the arena through the speakers, and the audience seats erupted with excited cheers.
On the Duel Platform, the Thunder Lion was panting heavily at the moment, clearly consuming too much energy from the long battle. The physical strength It regained through short rest and potion treatment was also running low.
But, under its owner’s command, it had already defeated six opponents in a row, and it didn’t want to fall just like that.
There was no other reason; the Thunder Lion just wanted to achieve a ten-win streak!
On the other side of the field, a Mighty Golden Bear, under the command of Trainer Victor Knight, tightened its muscles and emitted a faint golden glow.
“Pet Name”: Mighty Golden Bear
“Pet Type”: Metal
“Species Level”: Superior
“Strength Level”: Fresh Level VIII
“Species Skill”: Rage, Metallic Armor, Metallic Impact, Sharp Claw
“Pet Potential”: Green A tier
Although the Thunder Lion on the field appeared frail and full of flaws, ready to fall with one hit, it wouldn’t act recklessly under the Trainer’s command.
After all, it was the most cautious bear among the Mighty Golden Bears.
Oswald Maud’s face remained confident as he quietly ordered.
“Finish it with Thunderflash Shock.”
The Thunder Lion’s eyes narrowed, its hind legs pushing off forcefully, and its majestic body suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, violently crashing into the Mighty Golden Bear.
Victor Knight’s eyes flashed with surprise, not expecting the opposing Trainer to engage in a head-on clash; after all, his Pet loved fighting force against force.
“Show it your power, Metallic Impact.”
Seeing the Thunder Lion charging at high-speed, the Mighty Golden Bear’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain. It let out an angry roar, its body emitting a metallic luster, then quickly ran towards the blinding yellow current.
The distance between them rapidly decreased, and just as a fierce collision was about to occur, the corner of Oswald Maud’s mouth suddenly curled slightly upwards.
Oswald Maud abruptly conveyed via thought, “Dodge, then counter with
Thunderclap Palm.”
Hearing this, the Thunder Lion swiftly adjusted its direction with a powerful kick from its legs, dodging the Mighty Golden Bear’s attack and instantly delivering a fierce electric shock to its head.
“Sizzle.”
The Mighty Golden Bear was knocked to the ground, letting out a pained roar.
Protected by metal armor, such damage wasn’t enough to stop it.
Especially for this metallic bear, it was merely a slight irritation.
Seeing this, Victor Knight’s face suddenly stiffened. Angrily, he commanded
“Sharp Claw.”
The fallen Mighty Golden Bear’s pupils contracted sharply, seemingly sensing something. It touched its head with its massive paw, somewhat in disbelief.
Gone! A huge chunk of my handsome fur is gone!
Feeling the smooth touch near its head, the Mighty Golden Bear’s anger surged.
“I’ll kill this shameless lion!”
The furious Mighty Golden Bear ignored Victor Knight’s command and entered a Rage state instead, determined to rip apart the dexterous and detestable Thunder Lion.
Watching the Mighty Golden Bear lose its reason, Oswald Maud’s eyes lit up.
A berserk Mighty Golden Bear was at its most dangerous, but also at its most vulnerable to defeat.
Oswald Maud proceeded to command the Thunder Lion to pull and wear down the Mighty Golden Bear with its superior speed on the Duel Platform.
After grinding the Mighty Golden Bear for a full eight to nine minutes, its energy was finally depleted, collapsing in exhaustion.
Referee: “Winner: Oswald Maud.”
“Thunder Lion! Forever invincible!”
Ten victories in a row, ten victories!”
There was another round of enthusiastic cheers from the stands.
The host cried out with a hoarse voice, “A thrilling battle! It’s hard to believe how strong he is. Oswald Maud has won seven matches in a row! Who can stop his winning streak?”
One person’s joy does not mean happiness for all. At this point, David Jones forcefully slapped the button on his seat.
Seven matches had passed, and not once had his number been drawn for a match. What were the odds!
“Is this button broken?” David Jones couldn’t help but wonder, otherwise, his turn should have come by now.
Ten minutes of rest time passed, and the huge screen on the stage lit up again:
[Champion: Contestant 0236 Oswald Maud]
[Challenger: Contestant 0235 David Jones]
Oh wow, it’s finally my turn. Excited and full of confidence, David Jones stepped onto the Duel Platform.
Remembering the timer, the referee said, “One minute to prepare!”
“Begin the battle!”
Both David Jones and Oswald Maud summoned their Pets at the same time..
