168: The consultant's conjecture

Consultant already had a hypothesis before.

In this world, relatively powerful magical beasts all have elemental attributes.

Although his Soul Magical Beast, Slime, is so weak that it lacks attributes, it can gain the attributes of other magical beasts after devouring their crystal cores!

In other words, regardless of which magical beast it fights, as long as Slime can find the appropriate attribute, it will have the advantage!

The Rock-type Lycanroc dodged the Muddy Water, which means his weakness is water!

Thinking of this, Consultant immediately spoke: "Duen Dwen, Vortex Current!"

This is the strongest Water-type move Slime currently has mastered!

"Gulu!"

Upon receiving the command, Slime immediately spat out a bubble, and his body swelled up!

Previously, when Consultant had Slime use this move to help Silver Fire Dragon extinguish a fire, he had deliberately controlled his power.

But in this Beast Taming duel, Consultant did not intend to show mercy, and even secretly channeled some Beast Taming Power to assist Slime!

Slime's body grew larger and larger, and the entire battle room was quickly filled with moisture!

The Host spoke with a grin: "Oh? It seems Consultant's Slime is charging up a big move, but will Mu Xuan give him that chance?!"

"I bet Mu Xuan can definitely interrupt it!"

"Stop kidding, Consultant's Slime is already prepared. Are you really going to just rip that Slime apart?"

"I have a feeling Mu Xuan's first defeat is coming!"

"How is that possible? Even if a Slime manages to use it, so what? Could it—holy crap!"

The audience's discussion came to an abrupt halt!

Slime's charging speed far exceeded everyone's imagination!

Just as Mu Xuan saw Slime preparing to launch an attack, he had already issued a command to Lycanroc.

But at this moment, the difference in the bond between Master and magical beast was revealed!

Although Mu Xuan's command was fast, Lycanroc's reaction was a beat slow!

If he were facing someone else, perhaps he could have successfully had Lycanroc stop the opponent's attack.

Unfortunately, he was facing Consultant!

Consultant, whose bond with Slime had reached its peak!

In just a few seconds, Slime had completely finished charging this move!

"Gulu..."

Slime made a bubbling sound from his mouth, and the next moment, a large amount of water vapor began to diffuse!

A dark cloud instantly gathered above the entire battle arena!

This dark cloud looked like a spiral, and with a crack of thunder, a water column poured straight down!

Like a water cannon, it fiercely rushed toward Lycanroc!

Before Lycanroc could even touch Slime, he was engulfed by this current!

The powerful impact instantly shattered his defense; he let out a miserable howl, his body tossing and struggling amidst the waves!

Consultant had not expected this move to be so powerful and hurriedly used his Beast Taming Power to secretly restrain Slime!

But even so, that Lycanroc still sustained very serious injuries and was clearly unable to continue fighting!

Seeing this scene, the entire venue fell silent for over ten seconds!

Before it began, who would have thought that a Slime could actually use such a powerful Water-type magic!

Leaving a Lycanroc instantly critically injured and near death!

But what they didn't know was that Consultant had deliberately held back; otherwise, this move would have been enough to kill that Lycanroc!

"Lycanroc... has lost the ability to battle!"

The Host at the side of the arena only just reacted, and he shouted loudly, "First round, Consultant wins!"

His tone was filled with disbelief and excitement!

And this ignited the emotions of the long-silent audience!

"Mu Xuan actually lost? How is that possible?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, he only lost the first round; Mu Xuan has more than one magical beast!"

"But such a situation in the first round hasn't been seen for a long time!"

"I feel like this Beast Tamer with the Slime has some real skills. Who on earth is he?!"

"I don't know, never heard of this person. Could he be from another city?"

"What city would have a Beast Tamer who specializes in raising Slimes? How come I've never heard of it!"

Those people's focus was all on Consultant's Slime.

But among them, two people, besides being shocked, felt a surge of ecstasy in their hearts!

They were the Beast Tamers whose battle room had just been forcibly taken over by Mu Xuan!

"Consultant, right? I'll remember you. That was so satisfying!"

"Please allow me to call you Brother Wen. Keep it up, you can definitely win this duel!"

These two people's voices weren't very loud at first, but as they kept shouting, many audience members turned to support Consultant, continuously cheering for him!

But Consultant remained unmoved, focusing solely on using his Beast Taming Power to check Slime's condition.

Opposite him, Mu Xuan was full of anger!

He had never suffered such a big loss before; just in the first round, his Lycanroc had lost his ability to battle!

"Damn it!"

He cursed under his breath, his face gloomy as he personally went onto the field and carried Lycanroc to the side.

"I'll leave it to you next, Crustle!"

As soon as his voice fell, the strange-looking magical beast behind him leaped and landed heavily into the battle arena!

This magical beast was clearly even more ferocious than the previous Lycanroc!

His round body was completely like a giant rock ball, and his arms and legs on both sides were filled with knotted stone muscles.

If Lycanroc was a ferocious beast, then this Crustle was like a muscular hunk!

"It's been a long time since we've seen Mu Xuan's Crustle appear!"

"This is the magical beast that has defeated countless people since Mu Xuan became a Beast Tamer!"

"How much longer can Consultant's luck keep him going?!"

The Host recovered and began to consciously stir up the emotions of all the audience members again.

For a moment, those supporting Mu Xuan and those supporting Consultant erupted into a clamor because of this sentence!

"I think this Consultant is done for; I have never seen Mu Xuan's Crustle lose!"

"That's because you haven't seen enough. I saw Mu Xuan get beaten until he couldn't find north ten years ago!"

"That was ten years ago. In recent years, Mu Xuan hasn't lost a single match, and he will definitely win today too!"

"Bullshit! As far as I'm concerned, today is when Mu Xuan loses. Consultant, kill him for me!"

"I'll kill you first. If you've got guts, come fight me next door?!"

"Fight, then! You think I'm afraid of you?!"

Due to Consultant's outstanding performance just now, led by those two Beast Tamers from earlier, more and more people started supporting him.

But no one wanted to miss the upcoming duel, so no matter how intensely the two sides argued, no one chose to leave.

Even... after hearing the news that Mu Xuan had lost the first round, more people came here specifically to watch this battle!

Consultant saw this scene, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the Host.

Although this grandson spouted mostly nonsense while commentating, he was quite skilled at stirring up the crowd!

Consultant cursed inwardly and turned his head to look back at the competition arena.
