50: Chapter 50: Losing to such a monster is truly not unjust.
Yue Yun stomped on the ground to gain leverage, leaping high into the air. Using the momentum, he swooped down like a goshawk, charging toward Lin Xuejian's Azure Moon Wolf.
Swish!
The Morphing Python's massive tail swept through the air. The terrifying force tore through the atmosphere, striking Yue Yun and sending him flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The illusory health bar trembled violently and plummeted.
Lying on the ground, Yue Yun felt his whole body trembling. He was in such excruciating pain, as if he were being torn apart, that he couldn't muster any strength.
A shadow that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared.
The Morphing Python's massive tail hung in the air, descending with infinite power, almost as if it would grind Yue Yun into meat paste.
Gritting his teeth, Yue Yun rolled and jumped away.
Bang!
The Morphing Python's massive tail slammed down behind him. The terrifying wind pressure felt like knives scraping against Yue Yun's back, making him wince in pain.
Before he could even steady himself, the Morphing Python's massive tail lashed out again, sweeping across the battle arena like a roller.
With no way to dodge, Yue Yun was struck and sent flying again, smashing into the energy barrier at the edge of the battle arena and sliding down like mud.
Yue Yun's HP had already dropped to one-third.
Rumble!
The Thunderwing Griffin's entire body erupted with lightning. Bolts of thunder gathered on its wings, forming blades of lightning that seemed to cut through the sky, launching continuous attacks at the Morphing Python along its flight path.
The lightning blades landed on the Morphing Python's body, and the thunder exploded violently.
The Morphing Python was left mangled by the thunder, with charred, hideous wounds, and it couldn't help but let out a painful hiss.
However, it had no intention of letting Yue Yun go.
The Morphing Python twisted its massive body to force back the Thunderwing Griffin, focusing its attention on Yue Yun, attempting to attack again.
The Thunderwing Griffin pounced at the Morphing Python once more.
The Ice Crystal Sparrow also kept generating ice layers in an attempt to restrain the Morphing Python, but the Morphing Python seemed fixated on Yue Yun, completely ignoring the attacks.
"Damn it, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Xue Qin clenched her fists, staring intently at the Morphing Python.
The Heart-Confusing Fox's cunning eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity. It stared unblinkingly at the Morphing Python, and a shattered halo of light appeared.
Skill, Mental Shock!
The invisible Mental Shock traversed the battle arena, accurately hitting the unsuspecting Morphing Python.
The Morphing Python's consciousness was forcibly invaded. The invisible Mental Energy shook its foundation; its mind went blank as if struck by a heavy blow, and even its movements became sluggish.
The Thunderwing Griffin's attack fell like a falling meteor.
Its sharp talons flared with ferocious lightning. Arcs of thunder rampaged, leaving azure trails in the air as it struck fiercely at the Morphing Python's massive head.
The smooth and sturdy scales were shredded, and the nimble arcs of thunder drilled into the Morphing Python's massive head, finding every opening.
Rumble!
The arcs of thunder bloomed and exploded in an attack.
The Morphing Python suffered heavy damage. With a hideous, bloody crater on its head, it let out a shrill hiss and fell limply downward.
A look of panic flashed across Xiao Yingyue's face.
The Thunderwing Griffin spread its wings again, crackling with lightning, as if carrying two thunder blades, and charged at the Morphing Python once more.
Whoosh!
A black shadow soared into the air.
The Thunderwing Griffin collided squarely with that black shadow. The terrifying thunder exploded violently, and the azure lightning illuminated the entire arena.
Lin Xuejian's Azure Moon Wolf was scorched black by the electricity.
Lin Hanchuan's Azure Moon Wolf and Shen Xing's Brave Fighter also slowly stood up, gradually recovering their combat strength.
Even the Morphing Python woke up from the shock of the Mental Shock, shaking its dizzy head and crawling up again.
The situation between the two sides returned to a delicate balance.
"Shrink!"
Xiao Yingyue realized her tactics were flawed.
Growing larger could indeed effectively restrain the opponent's aerial units, dividing the battlefield at the cost of losing agility, but it was not as satisfactory when facing a team of equally powerful Beast Tamers.
Shrinking down to the size of a needle might have had miraculous effects.
However, the Morphing Python did not follow the order!
Instead, the Morphing Python's massive body suddenly began to twist. It shook its huge head as if out of control, ignoring the bloody, mangled wound on its head to Charge into the ground.
"What is going on?"
Everyone witnessed this scene in surprise.
The Morphing Python's reckless Charge affected the Brave Fighter and the two Azure Moon Wolves. Shen Xing and the other two looked at Xiao Yingyue in surprise.
Xiao Yingyue's face turned slightly pale.
She blurted out, "Yue Yun!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
They quickly searched for that iconic health bar.
The illusory health bar was hanging right over the Morphing Python's head!
The Morphing Python was slamming against the ground in pain, not stopping even though its head was covered in blood, and its mouth was gushing blood like a floodgate opening.
"He is inside the Morphing Python's mouth!"
Everyone discovered the reason for the Morphing Python's loss of control.
The four of them, including Xiao Yingyue, looked at each other.
"We forfeit!"
Possessing a unique health bar and inhuman, terrifying strength and speed—it is no shame to lose to such a humanoid monster.
The Beast Taming Field instantly erupted with thunderous cheers.
The name of Jianghai Second Middle School resounded throughout the entire arena.
"Let us congratulate Jianghai Second Middle School on taking their first victory!"
The host roared excitedly.
The big screen repeatedly replayed the footage of the Morphing Python being knocked down by the Thunderwing Griffin. It showed Yue Yun seizing the opportunity to retrieve his spear and, without any hesitation, diving into the Morphing Python's mouth.
Amidst thunderous applause, the Morphing Python collapsed to the ground.
It pried open its blood-stained jaws, revealing the cold iron spear stuck in its mouth like a fishbone. The culprit, Yue Yun, was hooked onto the cold iron spear like a monkey, continuously striking the inner wall of the Morphing Python's mouth.
"We won?"
Yue Yun looked at everyone in surprise.
He pulled out the cold iron spear and leaped out of the Morphing Python's mouth, politely apologizing to the Morphing Python: "Sorry, Brother Snake!"
The Morphing Python cast a resentful glance at him before shrinking and leaving.
He turned and walked toward Xu Qingfang and the other two.
Xu Qingfang excitedly patted Yue Yun on the shoulder: "Old Yue, you're amazing! How did you think of crawling into the Morphing Python's mouth?"
Xue Qin and Su Lixia also offered endless praise.
"That, of course, was thanks to my brilliant mind!"
Yue Yun teased himself, drawing laughter from everyone.
Countless gazes were focused on them. Surrounded by applause and cheers, the four of them calmly exited the stage.
Xiao Yingyue and the others were waiting in the waiting area.
"Congratulations!"
Their faces bore the discouragement typical of young people, but there was no resentment or dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they showed smiles of those who accepted the outcome of a bet, and their eyes still shone with indomitable ambition.
The four of them naturally responded to them kindly.
"Martial Combat Style is truly amazing!"
Shen Xing shook hands with Yue Yun, a smile curling on his lips: "I never thought that humans could possess such powerful strength, strong enough to defeat the Brave Fighter, which is known for its combat prowess."
Lin Hanchuan also nodded repeatedly.
Shen Xing looked at the cold iron spear with great interest and added: "Yue Yun, can I see your weapon?"
"Of course."
Yue Yun did not refuse. He straightened his arm, holding the cold iron spear horizontally in front of Shen Xing, and warned: "Careful, it's a bit heavy!"
Shen Xing didn't take it to heart.
He took the cold iron spear from Yue Yun's hand. His expression turned to one of terror as he was dragged down by the weight of the cold iron spear. Fortunately, Yue Yun quickly took back the cold iron spear and steadied him.
"Is it really that heavy?"
Lin Hanchuan looked at Shen Xing curiously.
Shen Xing nodded uncontrollably. Lin Hanchuan immediately became interested, and the two of them struggled to take the cold iron spear from Yue Yun together.
"It's this heavy?"
They let their arms droop, struggling to hold the spear, and exclaimed.
A Beast Tamer's physique is much stronger than an ordinary person's; their strength is greater than that of some adults, yet they couldn't even lift Yue Yun's weapon.
It is truly no shame to lose to such a monster!
