27: Chapter 27 I'm sorry, little bear.

The fury in the Mad Bear's eyes was replaced by confusion.

Its Fury skill was interrupted, and the berserk light on its body gradually faded, but no one cared about that.

Qin Xiyue and the three from Yunhe First Middle School were dumbfounded.

They had imagined many scenarios, but they never expected a human to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a Pet Beast—especially one known for its strength like the Mad Bear—and even knock it back half a step.

Qin Xiyue's mouth hung open in shock, wide enough to fit a goose egg.

The distraction of Lin Tianjun and Qu Qing also caused the Desert Magic Scorpion and the Rift Sky Eagle to lose control, falling into a brief state of daze.

"Thunder Light Claw!"

Xu Qingfang seized the opportunity and struck out boldly.

The Thunderwing Griffin let out a loud eagle cry as azure thunder light gathered on its sharp front claws, swinging them toward the Rift Sky Eagle.

The Rift Sky Eagle instinctively raised its wings to protect its body, but its blade-like feathers shattered inch by inch under the fierce attack, and leaping arcs of lightning struck its body relentlessly like maggots on a bone.

After the successful strike, the Thunderwing Griffin ascended to pull away.

The Desert Magic Scorpion's giant pincers dug into the ground, and it raised its tail like a turret to aim at the Thunderwing Griffin from a distance, generating a murky yellow-green venom at the tip of its stinger before firing it like a cannonball.

Thunder light flared on the Thunderwing Griffin's wings as it condensed thick lightning to blast toward the Desert Magic Scorpion, illuminating the entire Competition Arena.

The pillar of lightning pierced through the venom cannonball, its fierce power evaporating it instantly.

Arcs of lightning bounced toward the Desert Magic Scorpion, bypassing its hard shell like small snakes and piercing into its body like tiny needles.

The Desert Magic Scorpion writhed wildly from the electric shock.

Only then did Qin Xiyue and the others snap back to their senses.

Lin Tianjun resumed command: "Desert Magic Scorpion, Ambush!"

The ground beneath the Desert Magic Scorpion gradually turned to sand. It shattered the lightning arcs wrapped around it and struggled to burrow into the sandy ground to lie in Ambush, its condition beginning to slowly recover.

The Rift Sky Eagle also began its counterattack against the Thunderwing Griffin.

The Thunderwing Griffin nimbly dodged its pounce and, under Xu Qingfang's control, leisurely circled the field, keeping both of the opponent's beasts occupied.

The Molten Mountain Dragon also showed signs of waking up.

The Heart-Confusing Fox continued to release skills to control the Molten Mountain Dragon, keeping it trapped in a dream world, while the Ice Crystal Sparrow continuously breathed out frost to create an iceberg to seal it inside.

Qin Xiyue twitched her lips: "That's just too much!"

Jiang Ming looked at Yue Yun on the stage, his expression gradually becoming solemn as a wild bestial nature welled up in the Mad Bear's eyes once more.

"Awoo—!"

The Mad Bear roared and lunged at Yue Yun, its dark metallic claws glinting with a cold light, as if ready to tear everything apart.

Yue Yun's footwork became illusory.

He suddenly retreated to dodge the Mad Bear's swipe. The Mad Bear shifted its stance and pressed forward, swinging its arm outward in an attempt to crush Yue Yun, but he dodged it perfectly with a diagonal step back.

The Mad Bear's center was wide open, and Yue Yun lunged forward.

"Hmph, foolish!"

Jiang Ming smiled grimly, and at that moment, the Mad Bear extended its left arm, its claws like blades stabbing toward the incoming Yue Yun.

This strike would surely pierce through Yue Yun!

Yue Yun's footwork changed again as he sidestepped, brushing past the Mad Bear's paw, and then delivered a step-in elbow strike like a battering ram.

He used the highly lethal Heart-Piercing Elbow, his elbow acting like a blade in a fierce offensive that shattered the Mad Bear's fragile nose.

Crack!

The sound of a bone fracture filled with endless pain rang out, but the Mad Bear did not lose its fighting capacity; instead, its eyes were filled with infinite rage.

It had activated its Berserk Battle Talent.

Forgetting all pain, there was only the fight to the death!

Its thick arms suddenly clapped together, compressing the air on both sides into a burst of wind pressure. Yue Yun felt his eardrums bulge, as if his hearing were being oppressed by an invisible, massive force.

He retreated quickly but without panic.

Terrifying power erupted from the Mad Bear's thick feet as its massive frame lunged forward, pinning Yue Yun firmly to the ground with a "Hungry Tiger Pounce" and roaring right in his face with its bloody maw.

Xu Qingfang hurriedly controlled the Thunderwing Griffin to go and support him.

Even pinned to the ground, Yue Yun did not panic. He narrowed his eyes as if calculating something, showing no fear of the Mad Bear.

"Mad Bear, tear him apart!"

A Beast Tamer naturally cares deeply for their contracted Pet Beasts.

Seeing the Mad Bear's nose bridge broken by Yue Yun, Jiang Ming's heart was also full of anger, and he naturally wouldn't let him off now.

The Mad Bear roared and easily lifted Yue Yun, throwing him high into the air, while a heavy and dangerous glow flickered on its paws.

Below the stage, the Earth Spirit Cat broke free from Su Lixia's embrace.

Its lithe body stood proudly in the breeze as a heavy, earthy yellow light representing the earth swirled around it, activating a skill.

Rock Spike!

The ground instantly buckled upward, and sharp, well-defined Rock Spikes thrust outward. One Rock Spike, sharp at the tip and long at the base, shot into the air.

Yue Yun reached out and grabbed the Rock Spear, using its momentum to flip downward and stab fiercely at the berserk Mad Bear.

"Mad Bear, Block!"

A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Ming's voice.

The Mad Bear raised its arms, crossing them in front of its forehead, its entire Aura becoming a unified whole, as indestructible as a fortress.

Bang!

The two collided, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, the Mad Bear was seen still holding its blocking stance. The Rock Spear in Yue Yun's hand was firmly parried, and then it shattered under the pressure, turning into stones that slipped from his hand.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his rationality returning slightly.

Xu Qingfang couldn't help but feel a bit of regret: "What a pity!"

Miao Sang had consumed too little Low Grade Rock Potion, so the strength of the Rock Spike skill was far inferior to that of the Lingshan Elephant Guard, making it impossible to fully bring out Yue Yun's true strength.

The Mad Bear roared at Yue Yun again.

"Sorry, Little Bear, it pains me too!"

Yue Yun stepped in to crowd the Mad Bear's space, and his long leg whipped forward like a lash, creating a sharp, piercing boom as it cut through the air.

Little Bear, danger!

With a loud thud, the Mad Bear was struck in the groin by the massive force. Its huge body instantly lost control, and its rage-filled eyes turned white as it nearly went into shock on the spot.

Yue Yun followed up his attack, clenching his iron-hard fist and swinging it like a meteor streaking across the sky, hitting the Mad Bear right in the face.

Foul-smelling saliva and warm beast blood splattered.

The Mad Bear's massive body swayed from the blow.

"Oh no!"

Jiang Ming's eyes widened as he tried to control the Mad Bear to resist.

However, Yue Yun gave him no chance. Recalling the heart-pounding sensation from last night, he continuously punched the Mad Bear.

Thud, thud, thud—!

Yue Yun's punches grew faster and faster, the crackling booms filling everyone's ears. Every person present was shocked by Yue Yun's fierce, beast-like fighting style.

Thud!

With the final punch thrown, the Mad Bear fell backward onto the ground.

Yue Yun maintained his punching stance. The crimson beast blood dripping from his knuckles stung everyone's eyes. As he slowly withdrew his fist, he looked majestic and domineering, like a Vicious Beast in human skin.

Yue Yun looked back at Xu Qingfang and the other two.

He raised his hand to tap his forehead and then flicked it outward, winking at Xu Qingfang as he said with a proud smile, "Done!"

Smiles broke out on the faces of Xu Qingfang and the others.

Jiang Ming also recovered from his immense shock.

He recalled the heavily injured Mad Bear, looking at Yue Yun, whose fierce Aura was even greater than the Mad Bear's, with feelings too complex to describe.

The Mad Bear's injuries were trivial given today's medical standards; it would recover after treatment and some rest.

Compared to that, he was more worried about something else.

The entire Competition Arena was structured like a large circle, with the high platform in the center being where the Pet Beasts fought. The Beast Tamers stood below the stage, and an Energy Shield covered the entire Competition Arena.

In other words, Yue Yun could reach them.

Jiang Ming's expression changed abruptly. He turned to look at the Yunhe First Middle School Beast Taming Director outside the Competition Arena, crying out for help with a miserable face.

"I don't want to fight him in an Octagon Cage!"
