"A-Yue, there seems to be a battle over there, and it hasn't even started yet."

Outside battlefield number 11, two young girls were walking along a path beside the arena.

Through the grid fence, they were suddenly drawn in by the summoning of pets inside.

They subconsciously looked over, just in time to see the Ice Armor Beast and Iron-eating Beast that had just appeared.

"That person... is Chen Kai?"

The girl, referred to as A-Yue by her companion, immediately expressed surprise upon seeing the boy in the school uniform and his pet.

"You know him? Oh... someone does seem to be wearing your school uniform."

"Yes, that person is my classmate, and he's very strong..."

"Who's stronger, you or him?"

"I can't compare, there aren't many in the whole grade stronger than him..." Zhuang Yue immediately said, "His Ice Armor Beast has already reached level six, and it's very skilled with its racial skills, Ice Cleaving Claw and Ice Armor."

"Oh, I see, a scholar, huh? Do you know his opponent? His pet is an Iron-eating Beast, just like yours."

"I don't recognize him, but based on my experience raising Iron-eating Beasts, that Iron-eating Beast's growth level shouldn't be level six yet... I guess he's going to lose."

"Unless it's mastered Hardening at the proficient level, it will be difficult to break through Ice Armor, and Iron-eating Beasts are typically lazy... at this growth level, the Hardening skill is probably still at the entry level."

Zhuang Yue sighed with feeling, realizing how painful it was to train an Iron-eating Beast after having contracted with one.

If she could choose again, she would never pick the Iron-eating Beast just because it was cute; this type of pet is just too lazy!!!

Chen Kai himself had the same judgment as these two passersby.

Generally, Iron-eating Beasts at this growth level rarely develop Hardening to the proficient level; at least none of his classmates had.

And even if it did reach the proficient level, it might not be able to stand up against the Ice Armor Beast, after all, both of his Ice Armor Beast's racial skills were also trained to the proficient level!

Although adult Iron-eating Beasts have better overall stats than adult Ice Armor Beasts, that's after adulthood; this Iron-eating Beast is clearly still a cub!

"Ice Armor Beast, Ice Cleaving Claw!"

Beast Tamers and their contracted pets can communicate telepathically, similar to telepathy; as soon as the battle began, Chen Kai commanded the Ice Armor Beast to attack.

Whoosh!!!

The Ice Armor Beast suddenly burst forward, its icy blue body darting towards Eleven, and at the same time, its claws were covered in frost, and the ground it stepped on was frozen with a layer of white frost.

Soon, it jumped up, waving its sharp ice claws in the air, slashing towards the Iron-eating Beast with a powerful aura.

"Good burst, well-trained, no wonder he's a student from a key school."

Referee Bai Shi noticed the Ice Armor Beast's remarkable strength.

"Harden."

On the other side, Shi Yu gave the command.

Although the Expert-level Hardening was certainly not weak, it was still the first battle, and there was no combat experience at all. For Shi Yu and Eleven, it would be false to say that they were confident of victory.

Could the hardened body defend against the opponent's attack?

Could the hardened attack break through the opponent's Ice Armor?

Shi Yu and Eleven were still unsure of these things, and this practical battle was precisely for testing their strength.

It had to be said that drop training was a good training method.

Apart from the final impact, the falling process was also a tempering of Eleven's mind.

After all, knowing that it would soon suffer a strong impact, it still had the courage to jump down, and successfully use its abilities in the air; it was difficult not to develop a firm will.

Therefore, facing the Ice Armor Beast's claw, Eleven had surprisingly good mental qualities, remaining calm in the face of impending doom, and activated Hardening quickly and stably!

Expert-level Hardening had a very fast release speed, almost in the blink of an eye, as a metallic luster filled its entire body!

The black fur areas had a metallic, dark, and deep texture, while the white fur areas hardened like shimmering silver; Eleven roared and immediately completed its full-body armor!

Clang!!!

The next second, the Ice Armor Beast's Ice Cleaving Claw made contact with the fully hardened Eleven.

In a split second, the ice crystals on the Ice Armor Beast's tearing claws immediately shattered as if encountering something hard.

At the same time, a piercing pain was transmitted from the claws to the Ice Armor Beast's brain.

"Counterattack."

Almost in the blink of an eye, Little Eleven looked at its opponent.

After sensing the power of its opponent's attack, it was only confused.

Because the power of this attack... seemed less than the intensity of its training.

Under Shi Yu's command, Eleven's eyes flashed, the confusion disappeared, and after a "Woof," it directly maintained its full-body hardening state, waved its arm, and slammed out with a full palm!

This change in a second completely caught Chen Kai and the Ice Armor Beast off guard, and their expressions changed.

Ice Armor!

Chen Kai communicated mentally, his expression flustered.

"Hiss——" The Ice Armor Beast lived up to expectations and successfully used Ice Armor; the ice-blue scales on its body became more crystalline, and cold air spewed out.

In addition to the scales being harder, the surging energy could also freeze any opponent that touched it; this was the effect of Ice Armor.

However.

As Eleven's bear paw hit the Ice Armor Beast, with a "Crack," this Ice Armor was like paper, the outermost layer collapsing quickly like the frost emanating from the previous Ice Cleaving Claw, and then, the frost that froze onto the Iron-eating Beast also shattered crazily under the huge impact.

Bang!

Under the tremendous force, almost in the blink of an eye, the Ice Armor Beast was directly knocked away by Eleven, flying backwards several meters, and then rolling several meters on the ground before everything stopped.

After a round of confrontation between the two sides, everyone in the arena suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kai's heart stopped, and his vision went black.

As the Beast Tamer of the Ice Armor Beast, he could sense that the Ice Armor Beast had been knocked unconscious with a single blow!

This, this is Unscientific Beast Taming!

His perfectly trained Ice Armor Beast had lost like this???

How was this possible!!!

At this time, Shi Yu's heart also stopped.

Because the practical performance of Expert-level Hardening seemed a bit too strong; he should have known to just perform normally, and not use dinner to motivate Eleven.

Was this the end...? This didn't match his requirement for an evenly matched battle; it seemed that if he wanted to further verify his strength... he would have to find a stronger opponent.

"I-Is it over?"

The confused Referee Bai Shi rubbed his eyes hard, and then opened his mouth wide.

What just happened...?

That was...?

"Expert-level Hardening?" Bai Shi and Zhuang Yue, the Iron-eating Beast Beast Tamer outside the isolation net, both opened their mouths in shock.

They were dumbfounded, never expecting that an Iron-eating Beast with a growth level of only five and not very old would develop the Hardening ability to this extent.

"Your scholar classmate lost..."

"Sorry, I mistook him for someone else; he's not my classmate," Zhuang Yue said after a moment of silence.

An Iron-eating Beast at level five who had mastered Expert-level Hardening was outrageous.

This talent was too strong... Also, could that Beast Tamer be a hidden, high-level Beast Tamer retraining a new pet?

Otherwise, he was a rich second generation or a Beast second generation, with top-notch nutrients and special training methods.

Looking at Chen Kai's expression, one could tell how exaggerated Shi Yu and Eleven's performance was. Zhuang Yue could only hope that her scholar classmate, who was extremely popular at school, could withstand this pressure.

At this moment, Chen Kai felt like vomiting blood, not understanding why he had to come to this place to find an opponent.

This Iron-eating Beast... this Beast Tamer, compared to the opponents he had encountered before, was completely unreasonable.

Losing was losing, but the key was that it didn't serve any training purpose and he was instantly killed... Damn, how was this Iron-eating Beast trained?

The most outrageous thing was that when Chen Kai looked at the Iron-eating Beast, Eleven actually smiled unconsciously, stabbing Chen Kai in the heart again. He regretted it; as expected, school was still suitable for him; what kind of monsters were in society? He began to doubt his life.

Eleven: (o^~^o) Hehe.

At this moment, Shi Yu, Chen Kai, and the surrounding people had different emotions, but the happiest was Eleven itself.

Because dinner was saved! Saving dinner was a great victory! This was even happier than winning the battle.
