Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

Chapter 61: Divine Maneuvers, Astonishing the Entire Audience!

"Though the battle appears one-sided, it's still ongoing."

"What's Xiao Xingyu's plan against Lin Tianci's relentless assault..."

"Wait! Is that..."

The host's excitement was palpable, his voice rising in pitch.

"We nearly forgot, the Hell Nether Wolf possesses a dark attribute!"

Seizing the moment while the Sandsnake Python unleashed its attack, the Hell Nether Wolf transformed into a shadow, blending into the ground and sliding stealthily. In an instant, the shadow maneuvered behind the Sandsnake Python.

The shadow emerged, and claws slashed through the air!

The Hell Nether Wolf leaped from the ground, a massive black claw mark appearing mid-air.

"Silence Claw, the Hell Nether Wolf has executed Silence Claw!"

Silence Claw, known for its silencing effect, is a dark attribute skill. While it lacks power, it incapacitates the enemy for three seconds, preventing any skill use.

Lin Tianci's expression shifted, hastily commanding, "Counterattack!"

But the Sandsnake Python, marked by Silence Claw, was in a three-second silence, unable to retaliate.

In a flash, the Hell Nether Wolf struck again with Silence Claw, hitting the Sandsnake Python's head squarely. The python emitted a pained screech, a claw mark marring its face, leaving it in disarray.

This marked the beginning of Xiao Xingyu's performance. With a surge of spiritual energy, he directed the Hell Nether Wolf to unleash a series of Silence Claws.

"1, 2, 3..."

"18!"

"Dear audience, the Hell Nether Wolf just executed an 18-hit combo with Silence Claw!"

Each strike was timed to the three-second limit, meaning the Sandsnake Python remained mute on the stage for a total of 54 seconds! Those seconds were agonizing for the python, forced to endure attacks without retaliation.

Boom~

An explosion rocked the stage, dust swirling as strong winds kicked up.

The host shouted with enthusiasm, "The final Silence Claw dealt a critical hit!"

Up in the stands, Empress Shangguan Lan's lazy gaze shifted back to Xiao Xingyu. The tide of battle was turning, drawing cheers from the audience.

Sweating profusely, Lin Tianci shouted, "Retreat!"

Commanding one's beast to retreat on stage was humiliating, yet Lin Tianci had no choice but to order the Sandsnake Python to retreat, creating distance to evade the Silence Claw.

Silence Claw was a close-range attack; distance was key to avoiding it.

Following orders, the Sandsnake Python slithered reluctantly to the edge of the platform.

Xiao Xingyu tilted his head, smiling, "Is that all your beast can do?"

A blatant provocation!

Lin Tianci seethed with rage, clenching his teeth.

"Xiao Xingyu, I'll show you what true attribute suppression looks like!"

Wary of the Silence Claw, Lin Tianci resolved to end the battle with his trump card.

"Quicksand Burial!"

Shouting loudly, Lin Tianci channeled his spiritual energy.

The Sandsnake Python screeched, spewing endless yellow sand. In an instant, the stadium was engulfed in a sandstorm.

The host's voice was muffled as he spat out sand.

In the prep area, Chen Qinian's expression grew solemn.

"Quicksand Burial is the Sandsnake Python's strongest skill."

Murong Xinxin analyzed calmly, "The stage has become a quicksand whirlpool. The Hell Nether Wolf can't approach the Sandsnake Python, rendering Silence Claw useless."

Murong Yangshuo murmured, "Xiao Xingyu, are you truly going to lose?"

Now, the vast stage resembled a desert whirlpool, its center pulling everything in.

The Hell Nether Wolf's limbs were submerged in quicksand. The rapid flow dragged its body toward the vortex center.

Howling in frustration, the Hell Nether Wolf tumbled into the quicksand.

Before the audience's eyes, it sank, only its head visible.

The host, breathing heavily, looked grim.

"It seems this battle is nearing its end."

"Silence Claw was impressive but fleeting."

"In the face of absolute attribute suppression, all a beastmaster's maneuvers are futile."

"If Xiao Xingyu can't find a way to break through, Lin Tianci will claim victory."

As the Hell Nether Wolf's head disappeared beneath the quicksand, the scales tipped in Lin Tianci's favor.

Lin Tianci looked down at Xiao Xingyu with disdain.

"Xiao, you've lost."

The outcome seemed certain; the referee prepared to signal the match's end.

Yet Xiao Xingyu showed no panic, his Demon Eye active, analyzing the Sandsnake Python's data.

"Mature Form (Stage 1), Epic Bloodline..."

"Apart from attribute suppression, the Sandsnake Python has no other advantage over my Black Wind."

"Solving the attribute suppression issue would mean an easy comeback."

Xiao Xingyu's calmness in battle was unnerving. He gazed skyward, a plan forming.

"Black Wind, Hell Howl!"

At his command, a pillar of black flames erupted from the quicksand whirlpool's center.

The fire pillar grew, stretching skyward like the Monkey King's staff!

The audience gasped, unable to comprehend Xiao Xingyu's actions.

The host was equally puzzled.

"Dear viewers, I'm sure you're as confused as I am by Xiao Xingyu's maneuver."

"Having the Hell Nether Wolf unleash Hell Howl skyward seems pointless!"

In the prep area, Murong Yangshuo smirked and shook his head.

"Ha, I thought he had a trump card, but he's out of tricks."

Chen Qinian's eyes lit up. "No, you're underestimating him. He's attempting an unprecedented combat strategy!"

As flames soared, clouds gathered overhead.

"Is it getting dark?"

"No, those are storm clouds."

"It's overcast..."

"I don't recall any rain in the forecast."

The air grew damp. Swallows flew low, and clouds churned.

Rumbling~

Lightning flashed within the clouds, thunder rolling like war drums.

Murong Xinxin's eyes widened in surprise, her analytical nature turning talkative.

"Shooting hellfire skyward causes air to expand, creating upward currents in the atmosphere."

"As the hot air cools in the clouds, it forms droplets, leading to localized rain."

"Water, the bane of sand."

Drip~ Drip~ Drip~

Raindrops began to fall, sparse at first, then rapidly intensifying into a downpour.

On stage, the Sandsnake Python grew lethargic. Sand attribute beasts are weakest against water. Under the rain's assault, it became exhausted, its gaze dimming.

In the center of the stage, the quicksand whirlpool dissolved into mud.

The Hell Nether Wolf rose from the mire, its flames burning brighter.

The host was moved, his voice cracking from shouting.

"Xiao Xingyu has broken through!"

"He employed physics to create rainfall, countering attribute suppression!"

"Under the rain's assault, the Sandsnake Python is weakened."

"The thunder heralds Xiao Xingyu's counterattack!"

Raindrops fell on the spectators, their skin prickling with goosebumps.

Xiao Xingyu's divine maneuver elevated the battle's spectacle to new heights!
