Chapter 637: Chapter 631: The Demon of the Racetrack
Bryant Dragonjoy watched as a young man with a gentle demeanor slowly walked onto the Battle Platform, a circle of sweat faintly visible on his forehead.
Especially when his gaze met David Jones’, he couldn’t help but swallow nervously, losing his initial calm.
Great reputations foreshadow formidable opponents, and he was well aware of how terrifying the opponent he was about to face!
“No matter what, I at least have to hold on for a few moves and gather some data!”
Bryant Dragonjoy looked at the Cold Iron Dragon in front of him, blocking the wind and rain, as his eyes gradually steadied.
He and his partners had struggled hard for so many years, not to surrender in front of a national audience!
At the referee’s signal, David Jones’ Star Ring twinkled with golden light, and a fierce-eyed, colorful Giant Dragon appeared in an instant.
“It’s not the Frost Wyvern, but a Star Moon Dragon of the same class as the Cold Iron Dragon!” Bryant’s eyes lit up, as a glimmer of hope suddenly surged in his heart.
What if he couldn’t overcome David Jones? If he could exhaust a significant amount of the Star Moon Dragon’s strength in battle, enabling the captain to defeat David Jones with ease, then even if they lost the match, it would be almost as good as winning.
After all, their opponent was a King!
“Charge, Cold Iron Collapse!”
The Cold Iron Dragon’s hind limbs kicked up dust, its body emitting a deep blue frost that covered its Dragon Scales.
The entire dragon turned into a sprinting aurora, stirring up a surging chill along the way, freezing the ground beneath into its home turf.
Seeing this, the commentator Jay exclaimed in surprise, “Facing a massive disadvantage, Bryant has chosen to launch a frontal assault!”
Some bullet comments: “??? Both their Pets are Class V lower-level, how is there a massive disadvantage?”
“Don’t ask how the disadvantage comes about, it’s all about the Trainer disparity.”
The live audience was also stunned, watching the Cold Iron Dragon sweep through the ice and snow, never expecting it to be so bold.
The Cold Iron Dragon’s primary role was frontline control; rather than taking the offensive, a full defense would have drained more of the opponent’s Arcane Force.
David Jones smiled, not activating King’s Dance of Dragons, but choosing to let Loona fight independently.
The next second, right when the Cold Iron Dragon was about to collide with Loona, the Star Moon Dragon subtly shifted its body, narrowly avoiding the Cold Iron Collapse without even glancing at the frost explosion behind it, even taking advantage of the opponent’s skill casting gap to deliver a blow of Starlight Floating.
Bang bang bang!
Endless, cherry blossom-like starlight blades fell upon the Cold Iron Dragon, causing it to express pain.
“Useless!” Bryant laughed confidently.
The Cold Iron Dragon’s scales had outstanding Defense; the opponent’s area skill, though seemingly ornate and powerful, could never breach its defenses, at most causing some pain to his Pet.
“Frost Iron Dragon Claw!”
Enduring the pain, the Cold Iron Dragon raised its sharp dragon claws and viciously struck at Loona.
But for the Star Moon Dragon, the opponent’s movements were too slow. It easily dodged the storm-like claw strikes and even had the strength to cast soft starlight to Strengthen the physical toughness of its opponent.
“Starlight Infusion (Reverse)!”
The Cold Iron Dragon’s eyes widened instantly, not worrying whether the opponent made a mistake, it only knew that it was becoming stronger under the shower of starlight!
Seeing this, Bryant glanced at David Jones in bewilderment, unable to comprehend how a King Trainer could make such a serious error!
The distinguished guests in the VIP seats were also dumbfounded by this indescribable, breathtaking maneuver.
Commentator Jay shouted, “My God, what kind of command is this? The Star Moon Dragon has targeted the wrong skill!”
[To disdain the opponent for not being strong enough and to buff them proactively, what an audacious competitor!]
[You sure know how to put it, but have you considered that it might just be a simple skill misfire!]
[Outrageous, this can’t be whitewashed; even if I went up there, I wouldn’t let my Pet make such a skill mistake.]
[May I ask your level?]
[Apprentice Trainer…]
While the internet was abuzz with discussions, and Bryant Dragonjoy was feeling disdainful, the outcome was determined in an instant.
“Roar!”
The Cold Iron Dragon suddenly let out a ghastly scream that made the nearby spectators shudder, then they noticed the once mighty dragon was now collapsed on the ground, with its hind limbs twitching occasionally.
“Won, won?”
Jay looked at the battle that had quickly decided the outcome and felt somewhat incredulous.
The live streaming platform was also filled with question marks at that moment, clearly, many viewers couldn’t understand how the Cold Iron Dragon had lost!
Bryant Dragonjoy stood there in a daze, suddenly remembering the soft starlight that had passed by earlier, and a self-mocking smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
He had realized it!
But Bryant Dragonjoy couldn’t understand why David Jones would play so dirty when he was already stronger than him.
Bryant Dragonjoy stared blankly at David Jones, his impression of an unparalleled genius associated with David instantly shattered, he even felt a bit like vomiting.
Is this what a person should do?
He could have fought head-on with his strength and won, yet he choose to use tricks and attain victory in the easiest way, Bryant couldn’t comprehend it!
Not until the referee urged him did Bryant come to his senses and used his Star Ring to recall the Cold Iron Dragon that the Medical Practitioner had just preliminarily healed.
Commentator Jay looked thoughtfully at the special guest commentator opposite him, hesitated for a moment, then voiced his own confusion, which was also shared by the online viewers.
“What effect did that Strengthen of the opponent’s Starlight Infusion actually have?”
Yes, everyone, including the commentators, had no doubt that David Jones would win.
The question was, before the result appeared, no one thought David would win in this manner.
“Uh, as everyone knows, it’s almost impossible to avoid enhancement skills, and the effect of this Starlight Infusion is to destroy the defense while strengthening the opponent’s physical strength, and also to increase the sensation of pain, tormenting the opponent…”
“Ah?” The audience, suddenly enlightened, stared with a strange gaze at the diminutive Giant Dragon.
Looking at Bryant Dragonjoy’s desolate figure, David Jones had mixed feelings as he turned his gaze to Loona.
“Meh?” (What’s wrong?)
“Nothing, I just want to know how many times you Strengthened it?”
“Meh, meh.” (Not much, just fourfold.)
Loona grinned, looking like a devilishly charming Demon Dragon.
David Jones was slightly taken aback, finally understanding why the defense-renowned Cold Iron Dragon had been defeated so swiftly.
“Next, please welcome the next contestant from Dragonsoar Academy!” the referee announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, David Jones glanced towards the Dragonsoar Academy’s preparation area; the players he glanced over subconsciously looked away, all but Stan Dragonjoy, whose eyes remained self-assured.
…
As another contestant’s Pet fell in front of him, David Jones’ expression remained calm.
Only Loona’s face was excited, completely unaware that in the eyes of many Trainers, it had become the most terrifying demon of this tournament.
Inside the rest area, the players from the team that had previously resigned looked towards their team captain with a mix of relief and fear.
“You don’t question my decision now, do you?” Raphael Joe chuckled.
The team hastily said, “Captains’ wisdom!”
Referee: “Congratulations to David Jones for achieving a remarkable one-versus-six victory with the Star Moon Dragon. Please welcome the next player to enter the platform.”
Seeing this, some viewers gaped.
“So the message on the internet wasn’t a rumor—David Jones really does have the idea of taking on seven opponents alone, not treating his rivals like humans!”
