BXBX NOVEL Chapter 438 - 432: Collapse with One Strike
Now, there’s only one chance to counterattack.
If this crucial strike fails to land and cannot render the Azure Kingfisher unable to resist, the Unmoving Ape, who is not good at aerial combat, will face certain defeat.
“It’s time to end this!”
Karen Simpson’s heart tightened as she noticed a hint of impatience in Bella Wanton’s eyes.
“Meteor Blade!”
As Karen Simpson’s command fell, the turquoise flames entwined around the Azure Kingfisher’s wings suddenly surged in power.
A terrifying high temperature capable of burning everything swept through the entire arena, even causing many of the onlooking students to feel parched and thirsty.
“Now’s the time!”
Seizing the opportunity, Claud Brenda decisively commanded the Unmoving Ape to launch its final strike.
“Unmoving, Ikki Tousen, Causal Flame Wheel!”
The course of this battle followed the plan he had constructed in his mind.
First, by using Unmoving to make the Red Ape bear all the damage from the Fire-based skills, and then using the Causal Flame Wheel to release the accumulated damage in an instant with several times, or even dozens of times the power.
This terrifying blow capable of instantly reversing the situation is precisely the reason Claud Brenda ranks 25th on the Myrtle List.
At his command, the Unmoving Ape clenched its fists, and with a golden light circulating, its muscles visibly swelled, igniting the already incredibly hot environment of the Battle Ground.
Upon the appearance of this horrifying and vast aura, Karen Simpson subconsciously widened her eyes.
“Blockit!”
The Azure Kingfisher let out a sharp cry, and the Meteor Blade it had been brewing burst out from its wings, causing ripples in the void even as the terrifying flame-blades capable of melting gold and rocks merely swept past it in the air.
“Face it!” Claud Brenda’s eyes flashed fiercely, without any hesitation.
Under the empowerment of the Causal Flame Wheel, all the previous damage had turned into strength for the Unmoving Ape, and its speed soared once more.
In the next moment, a fist carrying horrifying golden flames and a sense of mortal danger suddenly appeared before the Azure Kingfisher’s astonished gaze.
“Rumbling!!!” A deafening and hair-raising explosion rang through the sky.
Like a cannon plowing through the earth, the sturdy and thick surface of the Battle Platform cracked and collapsed, and shattered stones and dirt flew in every direction, even causing the erected guard to wobble unsteadily.
“Who won?”
Witnessing this sudden and shocking reversal, the audience was filled with strong curiosity.
If Claud Brenda, ranked 25th in the Myrtle List, could defeat Karen Simpson, ranked 18th in the Phoenix List, wouldn’t that prove that Rosewood College’s Trainer Battle rankings are more valuable than those of Phoenix College!
“Unfortunately, he’s one move short,” David Jones suddenly said.
Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Purple Haze Club members.
It seemed like Claud Brenda had lost in the end!
Soon, as the dust gradually dissipated, the Unmoving Ape, exhausted and unconscious, lay on the ground of the Battle Ground, along with the panting and trembling Azure Kingfisher.
“I was so close to winning!”
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Claud Brenda’s face.
He then quickly went over to the Unmoving Ape and summoned a Plant-based pet, the Flower Bud Lotus Cat, with yellowish fur, a lotus leaf on its head, and various plants growing on its tail, to perform preliminary treatment.
“I’m sorry, President. I have failed!”
Looking at David Jones stepping onto the platform, Claud Brenda’s tone was a bit bitter.
His first battle for the club president ended in failure, leaving the impression of a loser. It was a devastating blow for him.
“You did well to reach this level!” David Jones patted him on the shoulder.
The strength gap between the Unmoving Ape and Azure Kingfisher was nearly 4,000 Arcane Grades. The fact that the battle had reached this stage was proof of Claud Brenda’s abilities.
If Karen Simpson hadn’t reacted in time during the crucial moment, activating her Innate Talent to turn the tables, the outcome of that battle could have gone either way.
“Do you need to rest for a while or change your pet?”
David Jones pointed at the panting Azure Kingfisher.
“One minute is enough.”
After that, Karen Simpson fed the Azure Kingfisher a life-giving elixir.
Then she looked at David Jones, who was standing in place, and asked puzzled, “Where’s your pet?”
David glanced at Rainbow on his wrist, seeing her uninterested, so he raised his arm.
“To deal with the Azure Kingfisher, I don’t need to summon a pet. One hand is enough.”
Upon hearing this, the audience buzzed with astonishment.
There were many geniuses in the world, but this was the first time they had ever seen such an arrogant Trainer like David Jones.
Karen Simpson’s face turned cold, her Arcane Force surged, and her pink pupils subtly changed as beautiful flames slowly emerged.
“Absurd! Even Missy might not be able to defeat Azure Kingfisher with just one hand.” Karen Simpson felt underestimated and decided to give it her all.
“Talent [First Light Flame]: Allows the Trainer to share Arcane Force with their pet, allowing First Light Flame to bloom and amplify the pet’s power several times in a short period, a strengthening-type talent that is extremely rare.” However, David Jones, who had already used his Illusion-Piercing Eye to see through Karen Simpson’s talent, remained calm.
Seeing David’s unchanging expression, a flash of anger crossed Karen’s eyes, and she decided to prove her strength through action.
“Meteor Chaotic Wings!”
As a loud cry rang out, the Azure Kingfisher appeared in front of David in a flash, and a dazzling green flame accurately shot towards his arm.
Immediately after, to everyone’s disbelief, an unthinkable scene ensued.
David Jones seemed to dodge the Azure Kingfisher’s attack casually and raised his clenched fist, a pale golden flame bursting with great power before slamming into the Azure Kingfisher’s body.
“Fire Fist!”
With an explosion of brilliant light, the terrifying power instantly shattered the Azure Kingfisher’s surface defense, even creating a fierce shock wave like a firestorm on the Duel Platform.
Upon seeing this, Rainbow’s eyes flickered with a faint glow, and an invisible Confusion guard instantly annihilated the raging shock wave.
“How is that possible?!”
Seeing the Azure Kingfisher being defenseless against the club president’s hand, Claud Brenda’s heart was pounding furiously.
The audience: “???”
Some of the Five Greats exchange students who wanted to see David Jones’ true strength couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
“What happened to the Flood Dragon? As a trainer’s college, how did Rosewood College admit a Body Cultivator with superb Cultivation, and even made him the top of the Myrtle List? This is completely different from the information we have!”
“That’s fine, there’s just enough time to make it to the Beast Refining Tower’s opening.” David Jones glanced at his phone, disregarding Karen Simpson’s ugly expression, and stepped down from the platform.
Despite the destructive power of his Fire Fist, David Jones had controlled his strength very delicately; the Azure Kingfisher was only severely injured at most.
