...

With his contract partner standing in front of him, Liu Buhui instantly felt confident, looking at Lin Guang with a cold voice: "Don't blame me, kid... you messed with someone you shouldn't have."

The River-devouring Toad evolved from the Big-mouthed Toad, and the Muddy Water Elf even had Blue Initial Potential.

Although the status of the Muddy Water Elf was a bit off, it was ultimately a Blue Elite Level Spirit Beast, placing him among the wealthier in the common populace, and probably had a high affinity with Water Spirit Beasts.

According to Wu Zhiwen, Liu Buhui's talent was the Blue-level [Tide of Water], whose effect on Water Attribute Spirit Beasts ebbed and flowed with time like a tide, a talent that required adept handling of battle tempo.

If trained properly, the opponent was likely to secure a spot on their school's eighth-grade team next year.

Adjusting his glasses, Lin Guang smiled faintly: "What, can't wait to start? I have no objection, but who's the referee?"

Huai Shouren tilted his head toward the middle-aged man overseeing the Gale Eagle.

That middle-aged man showed a somewhat helpless expression; Lin Guang could even see the despondency of overtime from his eyes, but he still stepped forward.

The two of them and the referee slowly moved to an open space on the side—here, there was no Golden Birch Tree, just a roughly hundred-meter square irregular wasteland—and then they looked at each other across twenty meters.

"So then..."

"Three, two, one."

"Start!"

As soon as the battle began, Vishdair stepped forward with his right foot, rushing toward Liu Buhui.

During the charge, golden particles in Vishdair's right hand formed a rough hand cannon, the muzzle quickly gathering crimson flames.

Meanwhile, the River-devouring Toad's powerful legs suddenly exerted force, shaking the ground, its body darting like lightning toward Lin Guang.

Both of them had their eyes sparkling with the light of their respective talents, issuing commands simultaneously.

"Water Gun!"

"Shoot."

The River-devouring Toad in mid-air suddenly spewed a powerful stream of water, while Vishdair's previously pointed cannon muzzle at the River-devouring Toad suddenly turned direction, pulling the trigger.

In the next moment, a water and a fire attack were launched simultaneously!

However.

They did not collide with each other nor hit their intended targets... instead, directly aiming at the Spirit Masters!

Their choices were surprisingly consistent.

——A true unrestricted battle should directly attack the Spirit Master!

These two attacks arrived almost simultaneously in front of Lin Guang and Liu Buhui; the Water Gun was deflected by the crystalline barrier in front of Lin Guang, while the Muddy Water Elf by Liu Buhui's side reacted quickly as well, transforming into a water wall that blocked the explosion of the Explosive Shot.

The Muddy Water Elf emitted a slightly murky sound: "Woo——"

With such a large difference in levels, and the mutually countering attributes, Ah Shui actually got injured?

Though it was just a minor skin-deep injury, the power had already exceeded Liu Buhui's understanding.

Liu Buhui did not understand what had happened, initially showing a change of color, then feeling the effect of his talent beginning to rise, he sneered: "Indeed, everything is within my expectations."

Having watched footage of the exchange match online, he pondered over what Lin Guang intended to do—even without knowing Vishdair had already advanced a tier—a direct attack on the Spirit Master was Lin Guang's only way to win under a two-tier disadvantage.

This also meant Lin Guang's side was completely exposed!

"Cyan Toad, hold her down! Don't let her punch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Buhui stepped forward, the Muddy Water Elf closely following him, both closing in on Lin Guang.

Yes, Liu Buhui's strategy was simple.

He wanted the Muddy Water Elf to directly attack Lin Guang.

He also moved forward, not to attack Lin Guang, but to ensure the Muddy Water Elf could protect him and prevent Vishdair's hand cannon attack.

As for the River-devouring Toad, it only needed to engage in combat with Vishdair.

In his mind, this was an infallible combat technique!

"Solitude——"

With Liu Buhui's command, the originally grounded River-devouring Toad suddenly let out a croak, leaping three to four meters, about to collide with Vishdair.

The next moment, before the collision, it suddenly opened its mouth, its sword-like tongue brimming with glow and afterimages wrapping around Vishdair's wrist.

Vishdair seemed momentarily caught off guard, ensnared, suddenly stiffened, the hand cannon dropped, dissipating into golden particles. His entire body was yanked off balance, falling towards the mouth that was rapidly gathering Water Attribute Ether.

This was a classic combo for frog-type Spirit Beasts against small-sized enemies.

The control ability of [Tongue Lick] held the enemy, followed by a close-range spray attack skill.

Had he already won?

Seeing this, Liu Buhui, who was closing in on Lin Guang with the Muddy Water Elf, revealed a satisfied smile.

Perhaps there wasn't a need to be on such high alert.

He turned away, no longer looking towards Vishdair's side, focusing solely on the five meters remaining to Lin Guang.

He had promised... that he would break Lin Guang's limbs!

"Water Blade!"

Liu Buhui directly commanded, and the Muddy Water Elf surrounding him launched an attack, several crescent-shaped water wave blades cut towards Lin Guang with momentum unmatched, under the satisfied gaze of Huai Shouren.

Even with the add-on of "Running Shoes", at this distance, Lin Guang truly couldn't evade the skill, forced to open the barrier again to defend.

"How many more can you defend?"

Liu Buhui stopped his steps, smiling sinisterly.

To be honest, the Muddy Water Elf itself wasn't specialized in offense; its current attack couldn't compare to the skills of the Molten Dragon Lizard with the addition of volcanic terrain, breaking through was naturally difficult.

But Lin Guang was purely in a defensive stance, not counterattacking; how long could he last?

However, precisely because he focused all his energy on Lin Guang, he failed to notice...

"BOOM!"

With a somewhat delighted voice from Vishdair, a violent explosion suddenly sounded behind him, accompanied by a lot of black smoke.

Rumble!!!
