Chapter 345: Began the Battle
Even Village Chief Eddie and the others who were standing beside Lugh had strange expressions on their faces.
Lugh’s Big Mouth was completely different from what they thought of as a Wyvern.
The source beast on the stage was not a weak Scavenger Fly, but a powerful source beast of the dragon race — a Wyvern.
Due to the environment they were in, the educational knowledge they received was relatively narrow.
They naturally did not know about the rare and powerful source beast, the Wyvern. Even Lugh only knew what this source beast was through the system.
However, as Lugh knew about Big Mouth’s race, there was one other person who knew about it.
That person was Beck.
The moment Big Mouth appeared, Beck’s pupils dilated. His face revealed an incredulous expression as he opened his mouth and whispered, “It’s… It’s actually a Gold Mid-grade high-grade flying dragon!”
He was puzzled that a small Iron Cloud Village actually had a dragon race source beast with unlimited potential. Even the members of the Beast God Sect in the main city would not be able to possess such a rare beast.
Beck could not hide the hint of greed in his eyes.
If it was not for Beck’s specialized plant-type source beast, and if it was not for the Guardian’s emphasis on the selection of talents, he could not guarantee that he would not have any bad thoughts.
After being surprised by this, Beck nodded and fell into deep thought.
Beck didn’t know why Lugh had such a powerful source beast. If he hadn’t heard from the village chief that Lugh was indeed an ordinary person, Beck would have thought that he was an illegitimate son of a noble.
However, Lugh didn’t care what Beck thought. His eyes were only on the owner of the Magic Flower Saber Mantis, Oliver.
The purpose of this battle was to take revenge.
Facing Oliver’s ridicule and the audience’s puzzled sighs, his eyes remained calm. He silently looked at Oliver, who was acting like a monkey.
“Hmph, Magic Flower Saber Mantis, take care of it!” Looking at Lugh’s indifferent expression, Oliver could not help but feel a trace of anger.
He coldly ordered his source beast.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis leaped forward and quickly approached Big Mouth.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s double scythes that were connected to its arms were like two sharp swords, slashing at the big mouth.
If it was hit by the Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s sharp double scythes, it would definitely be cut into pieces.
Oliver looked at Lugh with a cold smile, as if the next second, he would be able to see Lugh’s painful expression because of the source beast’s death.
With the help of a large amount of resources and the Oliver family’s secret arts, the quality of Oliver’s Magic Flower Saber Mantis was about to be upgraded.
Now, it could cut through rocks with a casual slash. Its combat strength could be said to be very tyrannical.
‘Ridiculous. It’s just a weak Scavenger Fly. What qualifications do you have to fight with me?’ Oliver thought.
‘Did he abandon his advantage of roaming and choose to kill in a straight line?’
Seeing how his opponent underestimated him, the corner of Lugh’s mouth curled up slightly.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis was famous for its mobility and single-point killing ability. In the open grassland of the colosseum, it didn’t choose to wander around while waiting for an opportunity. Instead, it chose to charge in a straight line like a boor.
It was obvious that Oliver had made a huge mistake, but there was still a huge difference between source beasts. It was not something that could be easily made up with level.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis was very fast, but its long-distance straight charge gave the Wyvern enough time to react.
“Big Mouth, use the Plague Breath! Then lean to the left and use the Azure Dragon Tear.” Lugh directly sent an order to Big Mouth through telekinesis.
Big Mouth did not hesitate at all. It quickly released the Plague Breath on those that were worn out. A gray-white mist enveloped the Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s body, making it feel weak all over.
The sudden weakness made the Magic Flower Saber Mantis pause, revealing a big flaw.
After releasing the Plague Breath, Big Mouth’s body emitted a shocking source energy.
It formed a red stream of light and charged towards the left side.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis’ reaction was not slow.
It quickly extended the sickle blade in its left arm and slashed towards Big Mouth. However, because the distance was very close and the enemy was charging towards the left side, the Magic Flower Saber Mantis was unable to gather its energy and slashed out with the most powerful cross slash.
Was the dragon race’s move that easy to block?
It was just an ordinary single-edged slash with its full strength.
The result was certain. Big Mouth’s skill, Azure Dragon Tear, condensed a stream of light within its body.
It greatly enhanced its attack power and defense.
Furthermore, it was supported by a high-speed charge.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s sharp and powerful strike could only cause the red stream of light around its body to dim slightly.
The collision didn’t last long. Cracks appeared on the Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s white scythe blade. Then, with a clang, the scythe blade on the Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s left arm was shattered.
“First, he weakened his opponent. Then, he used the mantis-type source beast’s scythe blade to attack from the outside to the inside. He intentionally shifted the fly dragon to the side of his blade to launch a fierce attack. What an amazing judgment.”
Beck’s eyes immediately lit up. He couldn’t help but praise Lugh’s calmness and excellent judgment.
Although Lugh didn’t open his mouth to command, Beck quickly determined that the Wyvern’s improvisation was definitely man-made.
That was because the juvenile Wyvern definitely wouldn’t be able to make such a judgment.
At this moment, Beck saw in Lugh a talent that surpassed most young Beast Masters.
That exchange just now was enough to show Lugh’s understanding of both enemy and enemy source beasts.
Only he had a very good understanding of the Magic Flower Saber Mantis’s body structure, habits, and attack methods.
That was why Lugh could give such an order to target the other party.
As a Platinum-tier Beast Master, Beck could naturally do this, but Lugh was just below the ranks of Beast Masters.
Beck knew that if they were at the same age and realm, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do this.
Seeing how calm he was after gaining the upper hand in the battle, a different thought arose in Beck’s mind.
In the first round of the battle between the source beasts on the stage, the Magic Flower Saber Mantis had a broken scythe.
The arm that had the scythe removed kept leaking out green blood.
Its combat strength had been greatly reduced.
Immediately, the entire audience was in an uproar, and all of them revealed an incredulous expression.
“F*ck, is the Scavenger Fly so fierce?” an audience member cried out involuntarily.
“Wu, I’ve already said that Lugh’s knowledge and strength are worthy of this championship status.”
“How is this possible?” Oliver’s eyes widened as he watched the scene that had just happened. He felt an illusion that was not real.
“You still dare to be distracted. If you were in the wild, you would have been killed by the enemy long ago.”
Lugh said indifferently, “What a waste.”
“What did you say?”
Lugh’s cold mocking voice entered Oliver’s ears and only then did he regain his senses.
Instantly, he was so angry that his face turned ashen. The veins on his clenched fists bulged.
A poor and lowly person that he had always looked down on actually gave him such humiliation.
“Stop, Oliver. You’ve already lost,” Oliver’s father, Berkeley, used source energy to amplify his voice as he spoke to his son.
Berkeley’s intentions were good, but these words were unexpectedly harsh to Oliver’s ears.
He thought to himself, ‘Could it be that even Father felt that he was inferior to the other party?’
Immediately, blood rushed to his head, and he raised his head to look at Lugh with a malevolent expression and roared, “You trash, what are you stepping on my head for? It’s just a small victory! What’s there to be proud of?”
Initially, he was still worried that Berkeley’s words would shake Oliver, causing him to cower in fear.
After that, he made himself lose the opportunity to take revenge. However, after seeing Berkeley’s words and the backlash, Lugh was relieved.
“Hehe.” In order to completely infuriate Oliver, Lugh intentionally let out a mocking sneer.
“Magic Flower Saber Mantis, show me that disgusting face of his!” Oliver was completely enraged.
He immediately gave the order to attack, and the battle continued.
The Magic Flower Saber Mantis loyally carried out its master’s order. It raised another sickle and flew towards Lugh.
Oliver’s clear-cut attack on a Beast Master had broken the rules of a duel to the second rank.
It was no different from stepping on the face of Baker, who was the witness.
Beck looked at Oliver with a cold gaze. Berkeley, who was standing at the side, saw his son ignore him and act recklessly, and his face immediately turned pale.
“Good timing.” Lugh was delighted. He had angered the other party to continue the duel so that he could kill the other party’s source beast and cripple his Beast Master’s cultivation.
Now that the other party dared to ignore the rules and attack him, Lugh didn’t need to be polite. He could just return blood to blood.
“Kill it,” Lugh said without a change in expression as he watched the Magic Flower Saber Mantis rapidly approaching him.
“Roar!” Big Mouth saw the Magic Flower Saber Mantis actually attack its master.
