"Huh? The one taken away was the Eye of Medusa, are you sure it's not a mistake?"

"No mistake, it's precisely the Eye of Medusa's gifted one who was carried away."

"How is that possible!"

"I know how Mei Yingjie lost."

A spectator holding a high-definition camera said.

"Look, Mei Yingjie's eyes suddenly ignited, those flames were fierce and fast, burning right to the protective threshold of the Deathless White Light."

The spectator slowed the video down to analyze it for others.

"I know what kind of fire this is, it's Li Cunxu's Burning Lotus Blood Fire from his Blood Lotus Eye, written right on his publicly available profile card."

Mei Yingjie's quick defeat made all the contestants vigilant.

Though it was just an exchange match and victory wasn't particularly important, losing so quickly was indeed embarrassing.

In the next round, Li Cunxu faced an armor specially against the Burning Lotus Blood Fire.

An airtight fireproof armor.

Li Pingxue said, "Cunxu brother, I'm family, so go easy on me."

Li Cunxu surprisingly asked, "You're a woman?"

Upon hearing this, Li Pingxue's face turned dark, but the helmet covered her expression, which Li Cunxu couldn't see.

Li Pingxue, hands on her hips, said, "Of course, the sister is a woman, unless she's a man?"

"Then why wear men's armor?"

Li Cunxu couldn't help but ask as he looked at the flat chest armor.

"None of your business."

"Little brother, not cute at all."

The referee said, "Please summon your respective pet beasts."

Li Cunxu, as usual, summoned the Dark Crow.

Li Pingxue summoned the Earth Armor Elephant.

A large elephant with earth-colored skin and armor covering vital parts and its back.

"Dry and Cracked Land."

Though the Earth Armor Elephant looked large and seemingly cumbersome, it was actually quite fast and set up the battlefield within two seconds.

The land quickly lost moisture, and the ground appeared cracked.

Seeing the battlefield set up, Li Pingxue sighed in relief; setting up the terrain first with equal strength holds an advantage.

In fact, Li Pingxue didn't need to worry about Li Cunxu competing for the terrain, as the Dark Crow hadn't learned any terrain skills.

Li Cunxu planned for the Dark Crow to learn 'Cursed Land' as a terrain skill, yet cursed-type pet beasts were too few, and the skill seeds dropped too rarely, so he hadn't collected any.

Li Cunxu said, "Dark Crow, shoot it."

Li Pingxue said, "Earth Armor Elephant, throw stone."

The Dark Crow's feathers shot over, while the Earth Armor Elephant remained motionless, with disdain in its eyes.

As a defensive pet beast, its defense prowess was its pride, and indeed so.

The feathers brushed against the Earth Armor Elephant like a massage.

The Earth Armor Elephant's long nose curled to the ground, scooping a clump of soil, which, under its earth-type Spiritual Energy infusion, hardened into an unbreakable stone.

Its trunk lifted the stone high and tossed it with frightening momentum toward the Dark Crow, barely missing it.

The difference between the Earth Armor Elephant and Dark Crow was too vast.

Earth Armor Elephant was Silver eight, whereas Dark Crow was only Silver two.

Li Cunxu said, "Dark Crow, fly high, use the advantage of flying pet beasts to fly higher, kite it."

Li Pingxue chuckled, "Cunxu brother, flying pet beasts have a significant advantage in battles, but don't forget, beasts flying in the sky can't protect the Beast Master on the ground."

Li Pingxue pointed a large hand forward, "Earth Armor Elephant, smash him."

The Earth Armor Elephant's full-strength stone throw flew in; Li Cunxu calmly smiled, stretched out a hand, and opened his palm slightly.

A water bubble appeared, blocking the incoming stone.

Li Pingxue exclaimed, "This is unreasonable, how did my Earth Armor Elephant's full-strength strike get blocked by a small water bubble."

Li Cunxu said, "As a family member, you don't even understand my water bubble's power, it seems your understanding of me is quite limited. I suggest watching my recent island survival series to understand why the water bubble could block it."

Li Pingxue wasn't swayed by Li Cunxu's words and had the Earth Armor Elephant toss several more stones, all blocked by the water bubble, finally giving up.

Li Pingxue focused on the Dark Crow shooting feather arrows from the sky.

The Earth Armor Elephant tossed numerous hard stones; due to sufficient height, the Dark Crow had room to dodge, avoiding all of them.

Li Pingxue suddenly said, "It's time to end this."

"Earth Armor Elephant, gravity manipulation."

The Earth Armor Elephant stomped heavily on the ground, a gravitational force rose from the field, pulling the Dark Crow downwards.

Gravity manipulation is a skill that greatly restrains flying pet beasts.

Teachers in the audience seats exclaimed in amazement.

Because the gravity manipulation skill is extremely difficult to set up, it takes at least five minutes without interruption, otherwise, it must start over and consumes a large amount of the pet beast's earth Spiritual Energy.

Li Cunxu was surprised; he hadn't noticed the Earth Armor Elephant setting up gravity manipulation, as its actions were too discreet, thinking Li Pingxue genuinely aimed to use stones to bring down the Dark Crow.

What could he say, only that the performance of one person and one elephant was brilliant.

The Dark Crow descended to just three meters.

Li Pingxue said, "Stone frenzy."

Stones on the ground started to roll, spinning faster until they flew up, forming a stone storm.

Li Cunxu erected a water bubble shield, blocking all incoming stones.

The Dark Crow, like a butterfly with clipped wings, dodged shakily.

Li Cunxu said, "So your hard stone throws were laying the groundwork for this move!"

Li Pingxue said, "Sorry, Cunxu brother, but I'll take this round."

Li Cunxu smiled, "The first to fall might not be the Dark Crow!"

Li Pingxue said, "My Earth Armor Elephant hasn't even been hurt, how could it fall."

With that, with a bang, the Earth Armor Elephant fell, raising a cloud of dust, and the stones lost their base, all dropping.

Li Pingxue looked stunned, how did her Earth Armor Elephant fall?

Li Cunxu smiled, reminding her, "My Dark Crow is a cursed-type pet beast, it might not break your Earth Armor Elephant's defense, but it can curse it."

Apart from feather shots and curse feathers, the Dark Crow used two curses and one skill on the Earth Armor Elephant.

The curses were: Stamina Amplification Curse, Spiritual Energy Amplification Curse.

Stamina Amplification Curse: stamina consumption doubles.

Spiritual Energy Amplification Curse: Spiritual Energy consumption doubles.

Skill - Unaware of the Curse.

[Unaware of the Curse]: Cursed type, Gold skill; makes an enemy unaware of their curse for a period.

Two curses with one skill combined caused the Earth Armor Elephant to lose double the stamina and Spiritual Energy unknowingly.

Until its Spiritual Energy was completely depleted and fell, the Earth Armor Elephant realized it was cursed.

Without Unaware of the Curse, the Earth Armor Elephant, realizing it was cursed with doubled stamina and Spiritual Energy consumption, wouldn't have used the gravity manipulation skill that consumes enormous Spiritual Energy.

Under the Spiritual Energy Amplification Curse, using one gravity manipulation cost the equivalent of using it twice.

Without Unaware of the Curse, it would have precisely calculated its use of Spiritual Energy and stamina, making it much harder for the Dark Crow to win.
