Chapter 329 - 329 At A Disadvantage
The other instructors beside him nodded. They had all heard about the power of such Flame Owls. Still, no one expected Shen Fei’s Flame Owl to become so terrifying in such a short time.
‘It seems like we’ve all underestimated him.’
‘Regardless, he still can’t be compared to Zhang Yang!’
The instructors all had their own opinions.
Back on the stage, the Flame Owl beside Shen Fei was looking down on the crowd with the attitude of a king.
As for Zhang Yang, his face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the area that had been engulfed in flames.
“I’ve already tried my best in using water-attribute techniques that were bolstered with true essence, but it’s still hard to block that Flame Owl,” Zhang Yang said in a low voice. “It seems that not only must I win, I also need to end this battle quickly.”
“Zhang Yang, are you still not convinced?” At this moment, Shen Fei stepped forward. His eyes were narrowed as he regarded Zhang Yang with a domineering look.
This made many people frown. Although the Flame Owl was indeed powerful, it was just a bird. It was simply arrogant for Shen Fei to look down on Zhang Yang like that.
“Hmph, Shen Fei, your spirit beast is merely a bird and nothing more, yet you dare to let it be so rampant?” Zhang Yang sneered and said, “Are you still not aware of who your opponent is? You are facing me, the noble Zhang Yang, who dominated the County of the Southern Sun!”
“…So what you’re saying is that you won’t admit defeat?” Shen Fei said slowly and derisively.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang raised his head and laughed. “Haha, admit defeat? You’re barely even qualified to fight me, let alone defeat me! Storm Whale, use Devouring Ultimacy and devour this Flame Owl!”
As if it could feel its master’s anger, the tyrannical Storm Whale clicked incessantly. The bone spikes on its back jutted out like sharp swords. Then, it opened its bloody mouth and a shocking suction force gathered there. Ripples began to appear in the sky.
The Storm Whale took in the rest of the unextinguished fire in the area and poured them into its mouth, then into its stomach.
Someone laughed. “This is the Storm Whale’s unique technique. It can absorb the fire-element essence in the area to strengthen itself. It can be considered a trump card. Once it goes berserk, even Overlord-rank beastmasters would have to retreat.”
“The Storm Whale’s attack power is really strong. That Flame Owl is done for!”
“That’s right, this Flame Owl is too arrogant. It actually forced Zhang Yang to use his trump card. It’s simply courting death!”
For a moment, the students shook their heads and sighed.
“Flame Owl, your fire isn’t strong enough. Let’s see if you can resist my spirit beast’s devouring power!” Zhang Yang’s mouth curved into a menacing smile.
At this moment, the Flame Owl screeched and flapped its wings, turning into a rainbow of fire as it shot forward. It dove at the Storm Whale like a falling meteor, intent on destroying everything.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang sneered. In his opinion, this was just an ant trying to stop a chariot. “Hehe, foolish—”
However, before he could finish his sentence, the Flame Owl had already struck the Storm Whale.
Boom!
Immediately, the Storm Whale’s body trembled and was sent flying thousands of meters away.
“What…” Zhang Yang’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the deafening sound. He had believed that the Flame Owl would not be able to hurt the Storm Whale.
But in actuality, the Flame Owl was like a blade that cut through the Storm Whale’s body, causing huge cracks to appear on its hard scales.
“How can this be?!” Zhang Yang widened his eyes.
The Storm Whale was his mortal weapon, and he trusted it completely. But it had been injured.
Suddenly, he thought, ‘Could it be that its bloodline power has weakened? If that’s the case, the power of its fire-attribute sacred art will be greatly reduced.’
At this moment, the Storm Whale blinked its red, bleary eyes. It roared and charged at the Flame Owl. This time, its bloody fangs were ready to tear the Flame Owl apart. The Flame Owl flapped its wings and dodged to the side.
After the Flame Owl had dodged the attack, Zhang Yang quickly controlled the Storm Whale to attack again.
With a deep roar, the Storm Whale jumped up and moved to strike again. It opened its mouth wide and emitted a monstrous suction force to devour the Flame Owl. The air also began to distort as bursts of fire were eaten up by the shark-like teeth.
The Flame Owl’s face was solemn. Its sharp talons tore through the air and slashed at the Storm Whale.
“An eye for an eye?” Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Everyone was surprised that the Flame Owl used a martial skill to attack. However, this attack was still in vain.
Zhang Yang laughed out loud. “Hahaha, my Storm Whale is not something your Flame Owl can defeat.” This time, his Storm Whale had the advantage.
Bang!
The Flame Owl was sent flying and blood sprayed out. However, the Flame Owl was completely unafraid and continued to charge forward. Its target was Zhang Yang.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang’s eyes were filled with killing intent. “You’re looking for death! Suppress!”
At once, a blue light condensed on his fingertip and turned into an ice spear, which he threw at the Flame Owl.
Whoosh!
The ice spear whistled through the air. The Flame Owl dodged and avoided the attack. However, just as it was about to escape, Zhang Yang lifted his right foot. A blue light bloomed from his right leg, forming a long, crystal-clear blue whip that he cracked at the Flame Owl.
The blue whip was like a rope, binding the Flame Owl’s wings and claws, making it unable to break free.
“Seal!” At the same time, Zhang Yang’s voice echoed out.
Under his control, the ice-blue whip flickered slightly, and a majestic cold air was released. The cold air poured down the whip and wrapped around the Flame Owl, causing the flames on its body to dissipate and freeze its blood.
“This is the Zhang family’s forbidden ice technique!”
“Zhang Yang has actually mastered such a secret skill!”
When they saw the ice-blue whip that was binding the Flame Owl, the hearts of the student cultivators stilled.
In their eyes, once the forbidden ice technique was used, no matter how strong the Flame Owl was, its death was guaranteed.
As expected, after the forbidden ice technique exploded, the stage was sealed in ice.
The flames within the Flame Owl’s body dissipated, and its huge body gradually stiffened.
