Chapter 542: Chapter 274: Tiger and Dragon!_1

At this point, both Zhang Kai and Jianmu had let loose their ultimate attacks.

In this exhibition match, if Jianmu can use his attack to obliterate Zhang Kai’s Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede…

Zhang Kai, having collapsed due to energy depletion from the Blade Mother Cockroach, would be deemed the loser due to the death of his Guardian Beast.

Alternatively, if Zhang Kai’s Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede could manage to kill Jianmu by releasing its cloud of poison, Zhang Kai would be declared the victor upon the death of his Beast Master adversary.

It could be said that the outcome of the first exhibition match hinged purely on this impact.

Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, and Yan Wood all clenched their fists in unison due to the intense tension.

In their view, a Peak Gold-Ranked Guardian Beast, amplified by mystic marks and spewing out all its venom, was something no Beast Master could possibly withstand.

It should be known that battles in the ranking divisions did not allow the use of spiritual instruments like the age divisions. Not only were Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, and Yan Wood apprehensive, many in the audience were also feeling the heat for Fang Mu.

“I was wondering why Zhang Kai would seem to recklessly send his giant centipede into the shower, turns out, it was to take down Jianmu directly!”

“I’ve seen that centipede of Zhang Kai’s in previous battles, when it was at high-level gold rank, it had used the same trick to poison a peak gold rank Guardian Beast. Considering Jianmu’s vulnerable flesh and blood, he’s probably dissolved into pus within the poisonous fog.”

“Does that mean Zhang Kai has won?”

The majority of the audience thought this was the case, but experienced Beast Observers and the Creator’s assistants, as well as the actual Creators themselves knew otherwise.

The moment Zhang Kai decided to eliminate Jianmu using its exclusive Blood Poison Eruption feature, was the moment he was set up for defeat.

This was because the Aurous Lotus that Jianmu had summoned had its strongest ability rooted in absorbing toxins.

Upon seeing Fang Qin’s clenched fists, Mo Shang handed him the popcorn he bought before coming to watch the exhibition match.

The Battle Network, in order to generate revenue, had incorporated a Food System more than a decade ago. There were many Beast Masters who would satisfy their midnight cravings in the Battle Network. Overindulgence in real life could harm their physical health and affect their figures.

However, logging into the Battle Network to satisfy these cravings did not bring about physical issues, allowing them to indulge happily!

“The Lotus that Little Wood has summoned is probably evolved from the Ling Poison Dark Lotus, becoming the Ling Poison King Lotus, it seems to have reached the Legendary Quality as early as its Silver Stage.”

“The greatest attribute of the Ling Poison King Lotus is its absorption of toxins. Now, we’ll have to see if the two attacks fired by Little Wood from the Lotus can break the Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede’s defense!

“If the Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede’s defense is broken and the toxins are introduced into its body through the rain, Little Wood will win this…”

Mo Shang’s words were cutoff, before he could finish speaking, the two dark-purple lotus cores had struck the Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede.

The two seeds struck like flying knives, directly and easily piercing through the insect armour of the Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede.

Mo Shang was stunned, completely taken by surprise. He clearly didn’t anticipate that Fang Mu would be able to deal such damage with the Ling Poison King Lotus at its Silver Peak stage.

With the two Lotus cores hitting with such formidable force, they should have passed cleanly through the giant centipede body, exiting from its abdomen.

However, as the basic entity of these two lotus cores were formed from concentrated toxins…

The moment the cores made contact with the flesh, they exploded within.

The Saber-Toothed Giant Centipede, amplified by [Mystic Mark: Blood Fury], had been blown to smithereens.

The audience sitting in the tournament grounds watched in shock.

Without even time to be astounded by the strength of the huge Lotus under Jianmu’s feet…

The thick poisonous fog started thinning, revealing Jianmu’s figure gradually becoming clearer within.

Jianmu was not melting, as per people’s expectations.

Jianmu was still standing upright on the central of the Lotus leaf, staring calmly in the direction of Zhang Kai.

As if he wasn’t the person engulfed by the poisonous fog earlier.

The calm and composed Fang Mu was in stark contrast to the disheveled Zhang Kai.

With victory and defeat settled, the figures of both Fang Mu and Zhang Kai simultaneously vanished from the Silver Battle Hall arena.

Even after ten seconds, when there were clearly no contestants left in the arena, the applauding thundered on, lingering heavily in the air.

The cheers were clearly for the composed young man who had just performed.

After the applause ended, the grandstand broke out in vigorous discussions.

“I believe I’ve witnessed a miracle! A one-point Star Creator actually defeated a Biprong Star Tamer, who had two peak gold rank Guardian Beasts!”

“Jianmu is awesome! I actually thought Jianmu would lose when I saw the swarm of hundreds of insects. But now, I believe Jianmu has a good chance of winning the next exhibition match!”

“Hehe, I also hold a favourable view of Jianmu, but by convention, the opponent Jianmu encounters in the second exhibition match would definitely be stronger than the first one – either possessing three peak gold rank Guardian Beasts or a platinum rank Guardian Beast. Even an Immortal wouldn’t be able to win when faced with a two-ranking disparity!”

All the discussions in the spectator stands revolved around Jianmu. As the loser, Zhang Kai was only mentioned in passing during discussions about Jianmu.

The recently concluded duel was so intense, that the spectators only remembered to tuck into the popcorn, cured beef, and fish that they had bought prior to entry.

Not a single person left the venue, all eagerly awaiting the second match that would commence in ten minutes.

Fang Mu returned to the Battle Network’s waiting area, looking down at his own hands.
