BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128
Chapter 128: Next Up, the Leaf-eared Cat Can Only Fight a Drawn-out Battle
After opening the dome of the Starlux Gym’s evaluation section, the temperature in the evaluation section continued to rise as the morning sun shone down.
In the spectator stands at the side of the battlefield, the spectators responsible for witnessing this ability assessment were also discussing fervently.
“Have you all noticed? Miss Annie has clearly also noticed that the Metal-Eyed Eagle’s metal-type skill, which emitted a golden glow, was actually the metal feathers on its wings that were shot out.”
“I also think that Miss Annie has noticed this. She must have speculated that the Metal-feathered Eagle can only launch a limited number of metal feathers that’s why she chose to let the Leaf-eared Cat use the vines to swing its body to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle and constantly use the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to harass and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle.”
“The actual situation is probably that. Otherwise, when facing the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ from the Leaf Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle could have shot out its metal feathers to split the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ like before, instead of changing its flying direction to dodge the attacks like it’s doing now.”
“Furthermore, although the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that the Leaf-eared Cat used was always that close to striking the Metal-feathered Eagle, it had indeed interfered and suppressed the Metal-feathered Eagle’s flying speed.”
“That’s right! Look! The Leaf-eared Cat that’s using the vines to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body is less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle!”
“The Leaf-eared Cat has launched its attack! At such a close distance, can the Metal-feathered Eagle still avoid it like before?”
“…”
As the last cry rang out, the eyes of the audience in the spectator stand were all focused on the attacking Leaf-eared Cat.
A green glow that represented plant-type spiritual energy appeared on the ears of the Leaf-eared Cat.
The next moment, its two ears twitched slightly, and two Green Leaf Flying Daggers flew out from its ears.
Their target was the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was less than five meters away from the Leaf-eared Cat.
Furthermore, after throwing out the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Leaf-eared Cat also lashed out its two vines at the Metal-feathered Eagle.
“Miss Annie’s judgment right now is completely correct! She’s asking the Leaf-eared Cat to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot its metal feathers to slice the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’.”
“Yes, that’s right. Based on the previous situation, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s metal-type skill that fires its metal feathers is actually very threatening to the plant-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat.”
“However, now that they are so close to each other, if the Metal-feathered Eagle closes its wings and shoot out its metal feathers to slice the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ or attack the Leaf-eared Cat, the moment it closes its wings, the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat lashed out will tie it up!”
“When the time comes, the Leaf-eared Cat will be able to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle down from the sky. As long as it can move the battle from the air to the forest, the winner of this battle will be Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat.”
“…”
Among everyone present, other than Giles, who was the Metal-feathered Eagle’s Beast Tamer, only one person noticed the change in the Metal-feathered Eagle.
It was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who was the umpire.
Looks like Giles got the Metal-feathered Eagle to deal with the Leaf-eared Cat for so long just to wait for this opportunity!
Seeing the Leaf-eared Cat launch a fierce attack after closing the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle, Hash lamented inwardly.
Besides, from the beginning of the battle until now, the Metal-feathered Eagle has consumed much less stamina and spiritual energy than the Leaf-eared Cat.
If the battle continues as-is, the lower-rank Metal-feathered Eagle might win in the end.
After realising that the Metal-feathered Eagle had activated its metal-type innate skill, ‘Metalize’, Hash, who was standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, had been paying attention to the changes in the Metal-feathered Eagle’s four eagle claws.
At that moment, facing the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ and the ‘Vine Whip’ flying towards it, the Metal-feathered Eagle used its four eagle claws, which had long been enhanced by the metal-type innate skill ‘Metalize’.
Under the surprised gazes of the spectators, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s claws steadily caught the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Then, with a gentle clench, it shattered the Green Leaf Flying Daggers into plant-type spiritual energy which dissipated.
The claws of the Metal-feathered Eagle also cut through the two vines thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat. As the Metal-feathered Eagle used its claws that were infused with metal-type spiritual energy to deliver a horizontal slash. The two vines that were completely made of plant-type spiritual energy were sliced into several pieces.
“Oh my God! What’s going on? Isn’t the Metal-feathered Eagle’s combat effectiveness rank three ranks lower than the Leaf-eared Cat? Why can it use its claws to catch the Green Leaf Flying Dagger that the Leaf-eared Cat threw towards it?”
“Furthermore, after the Metal-feathered Eagle caught the Green Leaf Flying Dagger, its body did not sway at all. This means that the impact of the Green Leaf Flying Dagger flying towards it has no effect on it!”
“Did you all see that? The Metal-feathered Eagle actually used its eagle claw to shatter the Leaf-eared Cat’s Green Leaf Flying Daggers! I can’t believe my eyes! This should be the reason why the Green Leaf Flying Daggers “coincidentally” happened to dissipate into spiritual energy, right?”
“Hey! Guys! We should all calm down now! Everyone, look at the four eagle claws of the Metal-feathered Eagle. I can clearly sense a metal-type spiritual energy from its eagle claws.”
“…”
Under the reminder of a spectator, the shocked and chaotic audience finally noticed the change in the Metal-feathered Eagle.
“Hmm? Why are the four eagle claws of the Metal-feathered Eagle so much brighter than before the battle began?”
“I noticed that too, but I thought it was because of the sunlight.”
“But now, it seems that the increase in the brightness of its eagle claws has little to do with the sunlight.”
“The Metal-feathered Eagle must have activated a metal-type skill to strengthen its four eagle claws.”
“Is it a metal-type skill that attaches metal-type spiritual energy to the body part and completely envelops it to increase its attack power and defense?”
“Since the Metal-feathered Eagle is a metal-attribute spirit beast, this metal-attribute skill should be the more common innate skill ‘Metalize’ among metal-attribute spirit beasts.”
“Yeah, I think so too. It’s a metal-type innate skill that can increase its hardness, ‘Metalize’. Also, it happens to be able to suppress the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ and ‘Vine Whip’, which are plant-type skills.”
“The Metal-feathered Eagle’s current long-range attack method is a metal-type skill that can shoot out metal feathers. In close combat, it also has a metal-type innate skill, ‘Metalize’. In that case, as a plat-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat can only think of ways to fight a drawn-out battle.”
“A drawn-out battle? Buddy, are you kidding? I don’t think Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle will let this opportunity slip by!”
“That’s right. After the vines thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat were cut off by the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat, which is in the air, doesn’t have wings and can’t fly.”
“…”
