Chapter 458 - 452: Secret Technique of the Yu Family
“Is it over?”
The trainers in the stands stare dumbfounded at the battle platform.
If they hadn’t known the power of the fighters beforehand, this earth-shaking battle would have made them think of King Level Experts.
“Cough, cough!”
Amid the swirling smoke, a few mild coughs emerged from the desolate, lava- scarred battleground that had been leveled.
At this time, Mason Rodney’s sleeve was speckled with large patches of frost. His strong right hand tightly gripped the unconscious Frost Wolf. There was a faint heat emanating from the Landlock Armor on his right hand.
“Is everything okay?”
Looking at the still-shaken Jackson Grant and Eugene Carnegie, as well as the ruined ground beneath him, Mason Rodney wore a look of alarm.
You see, every battle platform in the Battle Square was carefully crafted by Senior Blacksmiths. Even the protective shields that automatically rise on both sides of the platform could withstand a full-powered attack from Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beasts.
Doing the math, the cost of a single battle platform would run into tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Star coins. However, they were all punctured through by a single student battle.
“Thank God for the deep pockets of Rosewood College, else they would be bankrupt after several such battles!” Mason Rodney cast a significant glance at David Jones in the distance.
Being an Associate Professor of the Battle Department, he was contemplating imposing restrictions on David Jones from entering the Battle Square.
After all, no matter how wealthy Rosewood College is, they couldn’t afford to waste resources like this. With David Jones’s current strength, training in the Battle Square was no longer appropriate for him. It would be best for him to go to the King-level Battle Gym where the teachers frequently provide battle guidance.
The winner: David Jones!” Mason Rodney announced solemnly.
He had no choice, as Jackson Grant was completely out of Arcane Force. If not for the timely administration of the elixir, he would have already fainted. Hearing this, David Jones turned his gaze to the last challenger of this contest Eugene Carnegie.
Eugene Carnegie stiffened slightly.
If he surrendered now, he would surely be ridiculed as a coward by his past opponents, tarnishing the reputation of his club.
No matter what, retreat was not allowed in this battle.
“Shall we change the venue? All the defensive measures here have been destroyed.” David Jones proposed, looking down at the ground that was still steaming.
If it were not for the fact that the school would bear the costs of repairing the damaged battle platform and he doesn’t need to worry about compensation, he might have already smacked the Gluttonous Beast on the head.
“Roar!”
The Gluttonous Beast cast a sidelong glance at David Jones and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Its internal Mechinery Dragon Core could connect to the Flowery Kingdom network, and naturally, it could understand that the Gate of Hell it had released had destroyed wealth of immense value in an instant.
“Let’s have the battle here and avoid ruining other platforms! My Landlock Armor can completely isolate the skill’s aftermath.” Mason Rodney quickly interrupted.
Although the budget for maintaining the battle platforms was allocated by the finance department of Rosewood College, and he did not need to pay out of his pocket, it would still be hard to explain if two platforms ended up damaged, and filing an application report would be quite bothersome.
“Buzz!”
Very soon, under the activation of the Landlock Armor, a formidable sheet of golden light replaced the collapsed defensive barrier of the battle platform, enclosing David Jones and Eugene Carnegie.
“I have a secret technique for a single attack. If your pet can withstand it, I admit defeat,” Eugene Carnegie stated decisively.
He had no choice, he definitely couldn’t win in a fight. He could only try his best with what he was good at, and maybe there was still a chance for victory.
“Secret technique?”
On hearing this familiar yet strange term, David Jones couldn’t help but be interested.
Besides the pets prepared by their ancestors in advance, throughout the extensive history of the Pet Training Families, the secret techniques passed down were combined with the species skill of the pets. This led to an endless stream of new techniques which were also the main support that gave them a significant advantage over the ordinary Trainers.
“Please.” David Jones gestured with his hand.
Without any hesitation, Eugene Carnegie instantaneously summoned his most trusted companion.
Within the bright red light, a Beast, a leopard that was at least seven meters tall with ice crystal petals resting on its head and back, suddenly appeared.
It had exceptionally sturdy limbs, and the upper half of its body was covered with a cluster of pure white plants, resembling an armor piled by ice crystals. Meanwhile, the skin on its lower body looked as rigid as steel, revealing a metallic sheen.
What caught the most attention was the peculiar tail behind the leopard, which resembled a blossoming carnivorous plant, giving off a feeling of bone-chilling coldness and an incessant gale.
“Pet Name: Snow Leopard”
“Pet Type: Ice, Wind”
“Species Level: King”
“Grade: High-Class V”
Species Skill: Dancing Snowflakes, Frosty Demeanor, Windy Snow Paws, Wind Overturning Snow, Stroming Snow Against the Wind”
Profile: As the king of the leopards born in the snow, wherever the Snow Leopard appears, a glacial storm will descend, thus it has been also named by the people as Icestorm King.”
David Jones’s eyes slightly moved, “It seems the secret technique of Pet Beast does not fall within the range observed by Illusion-Piercing Eye!”
“Wind Overturning Snow!”
Following Eugene Carnegie’s command, a glacial storm burst out instantly, turning the fragile ground into a flawlessly white icy land in a blink of an eye. “Storming Snow Against the Wind!”
Interwoven blue and white lights appeared from the Snow Leopard’s tail. Endless ice and wind blades erupted from the hurricane formed by its body. Gluttonous Beast instinctively blocked in front of David Jones.
“Crack crack crack!” The chaotic ice and wind blades shattered into pieces the moment they touched the Gluttonous Beast’s dragon scales.
“What’s the difference between this and the combined skill?”
David Jones widened his eyes, trying to analyze this secret technique that combines with Rainbow’s attribute through his Illusion-Piercing Eye.
Simultaneously, Eugene Carnegie stirred up the Arcane Force within his body, forming several mysterious hand signs. One by one, the dazzling runes slowly emerged at the tail of the Snow Leopard.
Later, a faint glow quietly extended from the tail of the Snow Leopard, linking with the hand signs made by Eugene Carnegie.
The next second, the glow became stronger, and the Arcane Force of heaven and earth erupted. Soon enough, it formed into an incomprehensible old Rune Circle which slowly began to rotate,
Seemingly wore out his energy, Eugene Carnegie pointed towards Gluttonous Beast with some effort.
“Secret Technique* Frost Burial!”
The Snow Leopard swung its tail. Suddenly, a pair of radiant icy wings expanded at an absolutely visible speed from its back. Then, the icy wings shattered, and a horrifying azure laser beam shot out from the shattered ice crystals, directly targeting Gluttonous Beast.
“I see, so it’s not about amplifying the Pet Beast with Arcane Force, but learning from the way the Ultra-capable releases skills to manipulate the Arcane Force inside the body, to create a skill Rune that fits with the Pet Beast’s attributes, thereby multiplying the power of the Pet Beast’s skills, even making it tenfold, achieving the effect of 1+1 > 2 or even >10.” David Jones narrowed his eyes.
Because the characteristics of the Rune Circle are too obvious, even if he learns such a secret technique that cooperates with the Pet Beast, he would not be able to use it openly, unless he could get the Carnegie family’s agreement.
“Such a pity!” David Jones softly sighed, giving up the idea of learning secretly. If the inheritance of such a core secret technique from the family is found to be taught outside, it would lead to an irreconcilable situation.
Instead of risking learning secrets from a household, he would prefer to fuse secret techniques from different families through more battles, and in the end create a cooperative secret technique exclusive to his own pet.
