"That beast is using its martial skill! I thought only Crane College's beast tamers could help their beasts cultivate and master the martial skill!"
"Apparently, becoming proficient in the beast martial skills could be challenging for the beasts. Only the experienced treasure beasts could accomplish that."
"This specific treasure beast seems exquisite!"
There were a lot of wild uproars after the crowd caught the Purple-winged Beast's performance of its martial skill. Surprised, the spectators voiced out their opinions with each other.
However, something more remarkable happened afterward. Just as the Purple-winged Beast's stellar execution caught everyone's attention, an enormous shadow suddenly came to light just above Ethan's two treasure beasts.
Everyone present turned to look at it in unison and found a glowing orb inside a treasure beast's mouth while it hovered in mid-air. It was the Sun-swallowing Beast.
In the next minute, the Sun-swallowing Beast unleashed its martial skill—the Sun-devouring Skill. The gleaming light ball shot out of its mouth, targeting the two treasure beasts on the ground. The Purple-winged Beast that was fighting them earlier was nowhere in sight. The two treasure beasts could only stare in horror at the approaching light ball.
Boom!
Before they could react, the light ball darted straight at the two treasure beasts without warning, engulfing them altogether. The impact generated powerful shock waves as they dispersed in all directions.
Even Ethan felt some alarm as he scrambled backward to safety.
Like the situation after a guided missile was launched from the surface, everything within a hundred meters around the explosion spot got scorched to the ground, and billowing smoke arose. Everybody could feel the strike's intensity.
Both of Ethan's treasure beasts sustained severe injuries. Sprawled on the ground like total wrecks, they had lost their strengths to fight back.
"What on earth? What kind of treasure beast is this?"
"What happened just now was awful. Was that also a beast martial skill? But that could very much be of the same standard as a martial skill unleashed by a Sage Level warrior."
"Such treasure beast is out of this world!"
The spectators following the battle stared with mouths agape, and disbelief crossed their faces. A moment ago, they had just seen what the Purple-winged Beast could bring about, and now they witnessed the catastrophic blow inflicted by the Sun-
play of power impressed them.
"Damn it!" Ethan cursed under his breath. He didn't expect Zachary to be this persuasive. After discharging the third earth pillar, he had already arrived at his limit. He could no longer create the fourth one. Despite that, he didn't think that Zachary could take his third impending attack.
Just as the third earth pillar hurled toward Zachary, Zachary let his hands go from the earlier two earth pillars. Three identical copies of himself popped up in a split second and took the blow coming from the three earth pillars. As for himself, he strolled through the pillars leisurely and inched closer to Ethan.
"How is this possible?" Seeing that Zachary had broken his strike with his avatars, Ethan was shocked to the core. Close-quarter combat was his vulnerability. As he watched Zachary approaching him fast, he activated the movement skill, trying to distance himself from him.
However, when he stepped back, he discovered that the distance between him and Zachary had shortened. The strange phenomena bewildered him as he stared blankly at Zachary. The movement skill he performed was the Brilliant Lightness Pace, which was famous on the Supernal Continent. Only a few movement skills within their continent could be on an equal level with it. However, Zachary moved even faster than him.
The truth was that, he didn't know that the Shadow Pace that Zachary displayed was an exceptional movement skill in the Supernal Continent. Ethan found that he couldn't get rid of Zachary, even though the Brilliant Lightness Pace was superb. On top of that, Zachary's strength was outside the realm of his imagination.
