Then, Zheng Dong also emerged from the ground, utilizing the Quasi-Divine grade Samsara Karmic Fire.
The Abyss Serpent was entangled by the Mud Monster, finding it extremely annoying when countless Samsara Karmic Fires swept towards it like a ferocious tidal wave.
The Abyss Serpent's eyes immediately showed fear, and it quickly used its ultimate skills Eternal Freeze, Flood the Sky, and Abyss Guardian for defense and resistance.
Unfortunately, Samsara Karmic Fire was no ordinary flame.
Eternal Freeze could not freeze it!
Moreover, the torrential waves formed by the ultimate skill Flood the Sky did not extinguish the Samsara Karmic Fire; instead, it acted as fuel, causing the Samsara Karmic Fire to burn even more intensely.
As a result, the Abyss Serpent suffered heavy injuries.
Its undead head was the most severely burned, causing it to fall into a daze.
Instantly, cheers erupted from the surroundings.
Many students watching the match felt their long-suppressed frustration and gloom being released.
Shen Xue, enduring her pain, also shouted encouragement to Zheng Dong.
"Zheng Dong, beat him up for me!"
Li Yang Chuanqi also smiled, relieved.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong hadn't faltered.
...
On the battlefield, Zheng Dong's attacks came wave after wave, giving the Abyss Serpent no chance to breathe.
Little Zi, who had burrowed underground, had already condensed 365 clones.
According to Zheng Dong's plan, Little Zi and its clones were supposed to condense insidious bombs underground for the final blow to the Abyss Serpent.
However, Little Zi and its clones suddenly emerged from the ground.
Then, they teleported into the air, used Magnification and Mount Tai Crushes, and smashed down fiercely on the Abyss Serpent.
The Abyss Serpent, which was dealing with Zheng Dong, was somewhat stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Before it could react, it was hit and became dizzy.
Little Zi then triumphantly squeaked at Zheng Dong.
It actually had no malicious intent.
It just wanted to let Zheng Dong know that its combat strength was also not bad.
Because Zheng Dong had awakened Youyou, he often used Youyou's possession for combat, which made Little Zi feel that its position as the first pet might be in jeopardy.
Zheng Dong was unaware of Little Zi's thoughts.
He frowned, feeling a slight pain. Little Zi used to be very obedient; why was it suddenly misbehaving?
At this moment, Dao Yuan Chong also began to counterattack.
He used his beast-taming talent, Corrosive Contract, to strengthen the Abyss Serpent, causing every attack from the Abyss Serpent to possess strong corrosive power.
Furthermore, the Abyss Serpent used the high-level skill Split.
Split allowed the Abyss Serpent's eight heads to temporarily separate, transforming into eight General-level snake-like pet beasts.
This way, the Abyss Serpent's other heads were no longer affected by the Undead Sovereign.
However, there was a drawback: each independent split body had less attack power than before.
Under normal circumstances, the Abyss Serpent would not use this skill unless absolutely necessary, and this skill was more often used for survival and escape.
The Abyss Serpent used this skill precisely to break free from the suppression of the Undead Sovereign.
After splitting, the undead head, which was previously heavily injured and unconscious, remained so. The remaining seven split bodies attacked Zheng Dong, Little Zi, and its clones respectively.
Little Zi, being ganged up on by the wind, earth, and poison split bodies of the Abyss Serpent, could only repeatedly use spatial teleportation to dodge, but its clones were destroyed one by one.
Soon, Little Zi was forced to burrow underground.
After all, it was still a Commander-level beast. Facing three General-level split bodies alone, it could only flee for its life.
Fortunately, after it burrowed underground, only the earth-attribute split body of the Abyss Serpent pursued it.
This made Little Zi excited.
"Come on, bug, the future King of Treasure Hunting is not afraid of you."
Little Zi dodged while condensing clones, looking for an opportunity to deal with this earth-attribute split body of the Abyss Serpent.
Meanwhile, Zheng Dong, possessed by Youyou, was also attacked by the remaining four split bodies of the Abyss Serpent.
However, Zheng Dong was not flustered at all; instead, he felt it was a good opportunity.
Under Youyou's possession, he could not only use his own imprinted skills but also Youyou's skills.
Thus, he used the high-level skill Magnification, along with Youyou's Dark Greatsword and Night Armor.
The enlarged Zheng Dong transformed into a giant, condensing a massive Dark Greatsword in his hand and wearing Night Armor, swinging his sword towards the four split bodies of the Abyss Serpent.
The split bodies of the Abyss Serpent also unleashed their ultimate skills Eternal Freeze, Thunderstorm, Flood the Sky, and Absolute Darkness to attack Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong was not afraid of Absolute Darkness; he possessed Super Sensory Perception and could still sense the situation of the four split bodies of the Abyss Serpent.
As for Eternal Freeze and Flood the Sky, he could deal with them using Samsara Karmic Fire.
However, Thunderstorm could only be endured by the Night Armor.
Therefore, Zheng Dong, enveloped in Samsara Karmic Fire, endured the bombardment of lightning, continuously swinging his sword amidst the flood and freeze.
With a *swish*, blood spurted out. The lightning-attribute split body of the Abyss Serpent was the first to have its head severed.
However, Zheng Dong's Night Armor was also shattered by the lightning strikes.
Zheng Dong paid it no mind and continued to swing his sword, slashing at the remaining split bodies of the Abyss Serpent.
Another massive snake head flew off, and the dark-attribute split body of the Abyss Serpent also fell.
"Bastard, stop it..."
Seeing this, Watanabe Chuanqi, from the VIP stand, could no longer sit still and was about to rush forward to intervene, but he was stopped by Li Yang Chuanqi.
Li Yang Chuanqi also intended to teach the Snow Island country a lesson, otherwise, they would continue to engage in such over-level contracts in the future.
Moreover, he also believed that Zheng Dong would not act recklessly. As long as the Abyss Serpent was not completely killed, the severed heads would grow back.
However, this would likely keep this Abyss Serpent at the General level for a long time.
Having had two heads severed in succession, the Abyss Serpent became fearful.
Its other two split bodies hurriedly fled and gathered with the wind and poison attribute split bodies that were previously pursuing Little Zi.
Dao Yuan Chong also anxiously urged the Abyss Serpent not to use the Split skill.
Because the contract was primarily with the Abyss Serpent, Dao Yuan Chong could not command it.
The wind-attribute split body of the Abyss Serpent, instead, blamed Dao Yuan Chong for all the failures and, turning back, spat its forked tongue fiercely at Dao Yuan Chong.
Seeing Zheng Dong approaching again.
The Abyss Serpent hastily stopped using the Split skill. Its four split bodies merged with the unconscious undead split body on the ground, becoming an Abyss Serpent with five heads.
As for the earth-attribute split body that had gone to chase Little Zi, it was still entangled with Little Zi and its clones and had not returned.
Therefore, facing the charging Zheng Dong, Dao Yuan Chong and the Abyss Serpent prepared to fight desperately.
Under the Abyss Serpent's command, Dao Yuan Chong sat on the Abyss Serpent's ice-attribute head and desperately used his beast-taming talent, Corrosive Contract.
Instantly, Dao Yuan Chong's black hair turned like withered grass, and his entire body gradually aged, with wrinkles appearing.
As the strange corrosive power continuously surged from his body into the Abyss Serpent, the Abyss Serpent subsequently emitted an even more powerful aura.
This aura was completely comparable to that of a Monarch-level pet beast.
Moreover, it was incredibly potent, comparable to the terrifying aura emitted by two or three Monarch-level pet beasts.
Seeing this, Zheng Dong stopped.
He could tell that Dao Yuan Chong and the Abyss Serpent were like a match burning down to its end; although it burned more intensely, it wouldn't last long.
He decided to change his attack method and returned to his normal size.
The next second, the Abyss Serpent unleashed its most ferocious attack.
Every strike carried a strange corrosive power, and being hit would undoubtedly result in severe injuries.
Facing the Abyss Serpent's attack.
Zheng Dong was not flustered.
He used Earth Vein Leap to evade a strike and then used Eternal Night Illusion to counterattack.
This attack was not only aimed at the Abyss Serpent but also at Dao Yuan Chong.
Dao Yuan Chong's mental power had not reached intermediate level, and he could not resist Eternal Night Illusion.
As Dao Yuan Chong was about to fall into an endless illusion, the Abyss Serpent used Mental Share.
Mental Share was a high-level psychic skill that allowed Dao Yuan Chong and the Abyss Serpent to jointly resist the attack of Eternal Night Illusion.
However, this also weakened the Abyss Serpent's own ability to resist Eternal Night Illusion.
But the Abyss Serpent had no choice but to do so, because if Dao Yuan Chong fell into Eternal Night Illusion, he would be unable to use his beast-taming talent, Corrosive Contract, to strengthen it.
This also gave Zheng Dong another opportunity.
He then used the skills Undead Sovereign and Phantom.
Undead Sovereign could suppress the Abyss Serpent, comprehensively reducing its defense, attack, and other attribute powers.
Although its undead-attribute head was unconscious, it did not affect the effect of Undead Sovereign.
The Phantom skill created illusions, like an endless undead army, charging towards the Abyss Serpent.
Because the Abyss Serpent was suppressed by Undead Sovereign and affected by Eternal Night Illusion, even though it knew these were illusions, they still felt very real, and it instinctively reacted to counterattack.
Subsequently, Zheng Dong used Youyou's high-level skill Mimicry and Camouflage, disguised himself as an illusion, and continuously launched surprise attacks on the Abyss Serpent.
This made it difficult for both the Abyss Serpent and Dao Yuan Chong to discern who was an illusion and who was Zheng Dong, forcing them to attack in frustration.
Unfortunately, almost all attacks missed, failing to harm Zheng Dong.
Instantly, Watanabe Chuanqi couldn't help but curse:
"This genius from your Yanhuang is truly despicable, using such disgusting tactics."
This time, Li Yang Chuanqi didn't indulge him and retorted.
"Hahaha, to deal with a despicable opponent, one naturally needs to use some special methods. However, your genius is truly formidable, unable to even distinguish illusions. How dare you call yourself a genius."
Watanabe Chuanqi was instantly enraged and widened his eyes.
Unfortunately, he dared not make a move. Facing Li Yang Chuanqi, he had no hope of victory.
Li Yang Chuanqi was not afraid of him at all; rather, he hoped Watanabe Chuanqi would make a move, giving him the opportunity to teach Watanabe Chuanqi a lesson.
Thus, the two stood glaring at each other, red-faced and neck-and-neck, neither making the first move.
Professor Xue Yin and Professor Huang Cheng also had no intention of breaking up the fight. After all, fighting within Yanhuang was not a disadvantage.
As for the team leaders from other countries, they watched with amusement.
On the battlefield, the battle continued.
The Abyss Serpent, worthy of being a descendant of a Hegemon, persisted for a long time even under these circumstances.
When it was sufficiently depleted, Zheng Dong also planned to end the battle decisively.
Moreover, Little Zi had also finished its task. Under Zheng Dong's command, Little Zi and its clones emerged from the ground and used the combo skill Ultimate Shadow Chain to suppress the Abyss Serpent.
The depleted Abyss Serpent could not break free from the Shadow Chain.
Zheng Dong then used Spatial Teleportation and appeared high in the sky.
He also wanted to experience the feeling of falling from the sky.
However, to avoid injuring himself.
He also used Night Armor to protect his entire body.
Then, he used the Magnification skill to enlarge himself.
Under Youyou's possession, he became even larger than the Earth Titan, like a humanoid monster floating in the air.
Next, Zheng Dong used Mount Tai Crushes to descend.
The attack power of Mount Tai Crushes depended on one's own weight and height.
Of course, if he wasn't afraid of his body being unable to withstand the recoil, Zheng Dong would have intended to fall from an even greater height.
If he were to learn more gravity-related skills in the future and form ultimate combo skills, the power would be even greater.
With a rumbling sound, the humanoid monster Zheng Dong crashed onto the Abyss Serpent. The earth shook violently, then continuously collapsed, forming a large pit.
The Abyss Serpent was smashed into the pit, sinking deep into the ground, and fell unconscious.
Everyone watched with wide eyes.
"Damn, is this something a human would do?"
Watanabe Chuanqi also hurriedly stood up from the VIP stand, looking around for Dao Yuan Chong.
If Dao Yuan Chong were to be hit, he would likely be killed.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong had instructed Little Zi in advance to use spatial teleportation to control Dao Yuan Chong separately.
Dao Yuan Chong was seen lying on the ground, dumbfounded, bound by Little Zi's Shadow Chain, staring blankly at the Abyss Serpent in the pit, speechless for a long time. He was probably terrified.
Zheng Dong patted his backside and got off the Abyss Serpent.
Due to excessive consumption, he also returned to normal. Youyou also detached from possession, transformed into its Taji form, and sat on his shoulder.
Seeing this, Little Zi, after shrinking, also pounced forward, jumped onto Zheng Dong, and squeaked.
Seeing Little Zi's attempt to claim credit, Zheng Dong couldn't help but stroke Little Zi's soft fur and praised it.
Youyou also actively started chatting with Little Zi.
"Big Sis, you are the King of Treasure Hunting, and from now on, I will be the King of Protection."
"King of Protection? What's that?"
"It means to always protect Master from harm!"
...
Afterward, the referee also announced Zheng Dong's victory.
Dao Yuan Chong's challenge thus concluded.
There were still five more people.
This meant that Zheng Dong might have to fight five more matches.
Of course, if Pang Jian and others performed well, he might not need to participate.
Just as Zheng Dong was preparing to step down, Ai Fan from Star Leaf Country stood up.
"I want to challenge you, is that okay? Those few guys should not be my opponents!"
Ai Fan said, pointing at Pang Jian and the others.
Zheng Dong was stunned.
What was going on?
Were foreigners all this arrogant?
Rudolf Chuanqi, the team leader of Star Leaf Country, also spoke up to explain:
"I think we can appropriately change the rules. Challenging one by one wastes too much time. Moreover, we have all witnessed the performance of the few Yanhuang students just now. Whoever feels their strength is suitable to challenge whom, should directly challenge them."
Professor Li Yang frowned.
Another one who wanted to change the challenge rules.
Relatively speaking, he still preferred to follow the rules.
However, the team leaders from several other countries also thought the same, forcing him to make a change.
He looked at Professor Xue Yin and Professor Huang Cheng. Seeing that they had no objections.
He then said:
"Alright, challengers will have the freedom to choose their opponents!"
With this, the remaining few also selected their opponents. Among them, two challenged Shen Xue, one challenged Shen Bing, and one challenged Wang Hao.
Of course, after winning, they could continue to challenge.
If they lost, they would have no chance.
Only Pang Jian was left at ease, with no one challenging him.
This made Pang Jian somewhat depressed.
"Is my strength really that bad?"
As for Zheng Dong, he curiously sized up Ai Fan.
His performance just now wasn't bad, was it?
Did this guy dare to challenge him, was he even stronger than Dao Yuan Chong?
