After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

103  Chapter 94 Winning_2

As the Magma Armor congealed into shape, the Devil Commander Dog opened its massive jaws and released a beam of orange-red wildfire toward Taotie like an unleashed torrent.

The intense heat scorched the ground to a black crisp, and the violent heatwave, spanning over thirty meters, enveloped Taotie within.

However, as the flames engulfed it, a faint blue light shimmered on Taotie's body, barely noticeable under the thick fiery light.

Seeing the Skill hit its mark, Tian Xuechuan felt a surge of joy within.

The battle was over.

"Junior Brother, you are still too naive," he thought to himself.

Tian Xuechuan had analyzed Taotie's skills seriously: one passive, one melee Innate Skill, a Great Vortex, Water Devouring, and a Giant Flood.

The skill set was decent, but there was a problem: it lacked long-range abilities and protective skills. Water Devouring could recover injuries, but the healing effect of the Water Devouring Skill was progressive and required time.

But he wouldn't continue to give Chen Xing any time to prepare.

"Charge! 7, 9!" instructed Tian Xuechuan.

The Devil Commander Dog ran furiously, still sheathed in Magma Armor, which not only served as defense but also added extra damage in close combat.

The watching second-year students saw the sudden change in the battle and buzzed with discussion.

"Is it over just like that?" someone muttered in disbelief.

"Tian Xuechuan is too cunning, resorting to a surprise attack right from the start," another student said in dissatisfaction.

"The junior is still too green. This lesson might be a bit cruel for him," another sighed, a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.

After all, Tian Xuechuan was one of their own second-year students, and it would reflect poorly on them if he lost.

However, amidst the murmurs, Chen Xing's clear voice resonated: "4."

Tian Xuechuan's mind raced—four? Which skill could that be?

He looked at Chen Xing, whose expression was calm, showing no signs of defeat or dejection.

A shadow flickered in Tian Xuechuan's heart—still so confident?

The most likely scenario now was that Chen Xing had commanded Taotie to use the Giant Flood skill.

Although Taotie was injured, if it could create a terrain advantage with the Giant Flood, leveraging the Salty Bay Crocodile's water element traits to buy time and use Water Devouring to gradually recover, it wasn't impossible to turn the tide of battle.

Chen Xing's skill set was indeed frustrating to deal with, Tian Xuechuan had to admit. When facing a slippery Salty Bay Crocodile that could heal itself unless one could deliver a fatal blow, or use another Beast Taming creature that moved swiftly in water, there weren't many options for other water-weak creatures.

Therefore, he wouldn't give Chen Xing the chance to buy time.

Thirty meters was a short distance for the Devil Commander Dog, and in less than two seconds, it had already charged right up to Taotie, at full sprint.

So fast, that even the Great Fire Blaster the Devil Commander Dog had released was only just fading away.

But greeting it was not a crocodile scorched and wounded, but an eleven-meter Salty Bay Crocodile, fully armed and waiting, its body covered with a thin layer of transparent water shadow.

On its body was a screen-like layer of water, thin but clearly present.

Tian Xuechuan was startled by the sight.

His face suddenly turned ashen!

No good!

The opponent had blocked the Great Fire Blaster with a skill that had never been revealed before. Was it already at Energy Level thirty?

Then, what skill would it release next?

A sense of ominous premonition emerged from the depths of his heart.

At that moment, it was impossible to stop. A car traveling at high speed would still skid for tens of meters on inertia alone.

Moreover, the Devil Commander Dog had already reached its enemy, crashing headfirst into Taotie's gaping maw. Seeing the offering, Taotie did not hesitate and clamped its jaws around the dog, swallowing half of its body.

Sizzling sounds filled the air—

The Magma Armor covering the Devil Commander Dog's body burned Taotie terribly, as though it had swallowed a scalding hot meatball.

But this didn't make it release its bite, on the contrary, it seemed to have triggered its ferocity, clamping its jaws tighter.

However, the very next second, Taotie stomped heavily with its two left feet on the ground, the sand was shaken up, and its hefty body spun in place with an agility that defied common sense.

Tian Xuechuan's face changed dramatically, it was indeed the Death Roll!

Although Taotie was spinning slowly, the air around its mouth distorted, a layer of invisible force twisted and spun along with its mouth to both sides.

Just a single spin, and the spine of the Devil Commander Dog snapped with a cracking sound.

"The battle is over!"

The referee quickly stopped the match.

If it had spun a couple more times, this Devil Commander Dog would have become a ghostly Ao and a ghostly Dog.

"Alright, Taotie, let go." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chen Xing's voice came through.

Only then did Taotie spit out the scalding Devil Commander Dog.

Afterwards, it crawled into a nearby puddle and gulped down a big mouthful of water.

A blue light flashed on its body, and the injuries in its mouth slowly healed.

"Senior, you can actually perform a Death Roll on land too," Chen Xing said in a leisurely voice.

This was also one of the outcomes from the training with the mini-game "Death Egg for Life," although the power of the Death Roll on land wasn't as great as in the water, part of the skill's power came from the twisting force of the skill effect.

The audience from the second year section stirred with noise, many couldn't believe that Tian Xuechuan, nearly invincible among the second years, had been defeated like this, doesn't that mean that there was not a single person in the entire second year who could match him?

"How is that possible?" someone couldn't help but mutter, as if unable to accept the reality.

"Chen Xing actually won against Tian Xuechuan? It's unbelievable!" another student's eyes bulged in sheer disbelief.

"It's not like he hasn't won before, the Devil Commander Dog from Yanchuan Middle School was eliminated before."

"That's different, that was a group battle, and there were analyses online saying it was a fluke."

"Now it's not a fluke."

"The junior is too strong! His Taotie is simply invincible! I bet he will be able to rule the entire school in less than half a year," shouted someone else, excitedly.

"If the champion of the senior year's monthly exam gets overturned too, then that'll be quite a show to watch."

Tian Xuechuan was silent for a moment before he walked up to Chen Xing and extended his hand, "Junior Chen, you won. Your Taotie is very strong, I am utterly convinced by my defeat."

Chen Xing shook Tian Xuechuan's hand with a brilliant smile, "You flatter me, senior. It was just a stroke of luck that I won this round. Your Devil Commander Dog is also strong, if I hadn't prepared in advance, I would likely have been defeated by now."

Tian Xuechuan laughed at himself, he had trained for an extra year and was so easily surpassed.

Although he had anticipated this day would come, he didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

"Has your Beast Taming broken through the thirty Energy Level?" Tian Xuechuan asked, thinking of the skill he had just seen.

"Just happened to awaken a new Innate Skill."

"That must be the Water Element skill 'Water Curtain Light Armor', right?" Tian Xuechuan shook his head, thinking to himself, this sneaky guy, awakening a skill and then secretly giving himself a huge advantage, now he had really lost face.

Tian Xuechuan complained, "No way, you have to treat me to dinner tonight!"

"Sure," Chen Xing agreed readily.

"By the way, senior, may I ask you something in private?" Chen Xing said in a low voice.

"Ask away."

"What's the reward for coming first in the monthly exam?"

Tian Xuechuan, feeling offended even in his heart, fell into silence.
