The King of Beast Trainers

134  Chapter 95 Unable to Penetrate Enemy Armor..._2

"Roar!!!"

At his summons, a majestic lion standing one and a half meters tall and nearly four meters long appeared, its mouth spouting strands of fire, stunning those present. With a single roar, it intimidated most of the fourth-generation Beast Trainers there. It was indeed a top-tier ferocious beast, worthy of the title "King of Beasts," shared with the tiger. Its terrifying physique and astonishing strength were unmatched by any other creature.

"Roar!" This male lion seemed to be of the African variety, but due to its awakening in the Fire Attribute, its fur had hints of red highlights. Upon its arrival, it locked its gaze on the King of Sudden Death, hot breath flowing from its mouth.

"Begin!" Zhao Chen said.

The next instant.

"Fire Spray!" Not knowing the full extent of the King of Sudden Death's strength, and also to show off his skills, Lu Teng smartly refrained from having the Flame Lion attack up close. Instead, he had it use Emission Attribute skills!

Whoosh!

At his command, the Flame Lion's fur bristled, it opened its massive maw, and a flame began to coalesce within, followed by an explosive wave of heat. A massive fireball with a strong impact force smashed towards the King of Sudden Death!!

The firelight illuminated the surroundings.

"Cool! So this is a 'skill'!" Many of the fourth-generation Beast Trainers envied Lu Teng as they watched him deftly utilize Emission Attribute skills, looking much more impressive than using claws or teeth in battle.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

Fire engulfed its target, and spectators expected the upright lizard to strike back or dodge, but instead, it stood in place as if petrified, without moving an inch.

Purgatory directly consumed the King of Sudden Death, leaving many onlookers dumbfounded.

However, the next moment, Lu Teng and the others' expressions changed, for after the fire flared up, the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard remained unharmed and stood unmoved, its expression unchanged, completely nonchalant.

It failed... to break its defense?

"Damn it, just as I thought!" Yang Xishuai exclaimed in shock from the crowd. He knew all too well, having battled the lizard himself and also failing to breach its defense. What kind of bizarre defense was this, and how was it cultivated!

His cricket couldn't make a dent, and now the Flame Lion's Fire Spray didn't work either?!

At this moment, although it would be presumptuous to claim the King of Sudden Death's defensive power was impenetrable, in addition to its innate defensive talent, it had followed Mr. Husky since awakening and had been fortified with "Heart of the Insect" to enhance its scales and teeth. It had then been further transformed by the rare "Dragon Blood Crystal," reaching a level of cultivation unfathomable to the newcomers from Green Sea City.

"Continue!" Lu Teng refused to believe it, and the next moment, the Flame Lion spewed another blaze of fire onto the King of Sudden Death... After the flames dissipated, the King of Sudden Death still stood there with the same calm demeanor, without even a scorch mark on its body.

Lu Teng, Flame Lion: ???

"What a terrifying attack..." Especially at that moment, a sarcastic remark seemed to come from out of nowhere, causing veins to pop on Lu Teng's forehead. But upon closer inspection, his face darkened instantly—it was that crow.

"I'm just the translator, don't look at me..." the Dark Crow said.

"Roar!!!" The King of Sudden Death indeed felt that way, but its response sounded more like a taunt, wondering why it had been chosen as an opponent when it could have faced the Ice Bird or the Fire Snake.

To discourage these newcomers, it hadn't even activated its Thunder Spike Armor. With its abundant combat experience, judging from the temperature and shape of the flames just now, it recognized that this fire was less potent than the Fire Snake General's. It knew it wouldn't be harmed, so it simply relied on its scales to resist the attack.

However, to demonstrate its power and to make clear that it was best not to pick it as an opponent, the King of Sudden Death decided to show off its defensive power and then initiate what would truly bring despair to the challengers.

As it said that, its body crackled with thunder and lightning, and blue-white currents began to flow across its black scale armor. In an instant, it was encased in a thick layer of armor bristling with raised thunder spikes, covering its entire body!

This wasn't merely Energy Coverage; it was Energy Shaping!

"Are you kidding me! Thunder Attribute?" At this point, Lu Teng panicked, utterly baffled by the sight before him.

"It's actually Thunder Attribute!" Earlier, when others saw the King of Sudden Death's immense defensive power, they assumed it was of the Rock Attribute or some other Attribute known for strong defense. But now, witnessing the King of Sudden Death adorned in Thunder Armor, they realized its Attribute... was actually the famously destructive Thunder Attribute!

"This is bad, Lu Teng's Flame Lion can't even penetrate the opponent's flesh, and now it's clad in Thunder Armor. How are we supposed to fight this? Especially... since the Thunder Attribute is known for its attack strength, and that lizard hasn't even begun to exert force yet!" At this moment, people started to believe in the strength of Lu Ran, as mentioned by Zhao Chen.

"Yilang, what do you think?" Asked a female university student among the fourth generation Beast Trainers, turning to Lu Yilang, who wore glasses beside her. Compared to Lu Teng, he was much more low-profile, with his Contract Card containing a Spirit Attribute border collie.

"I don't have any particular opinion, but my border collie in the Contract Card seems to say it doesn't want to fight this guy..." Lu Yilang pushed up his glasses.

"It's smarter than me; I trust it. When the time comes, I'll switch opponents."

At this moment, Lu Teng found himself in a dilemma, but what tormented him even more was that just when he thought the lizard opposite him was about to go berserk and attack, it... again stopped moving!

What does that mean...

Did they want them to take the initiative to attack???

Even though the Red-eyed Eagle Lizard wasn't aggressive, this was way too tame!

However, he didn't understand the King of Sudden Death's combat philosophy... Initiating an attack would only reveal weaknesses. Throwing oneself entirely into defending against the enemy's attacks was the way to remain invincible!

"Roar!!"

The King of Sudden Death still maintained a defensive stance.

"Roar!!!"

The Flame Lion closed the distance in an instant, tearing a swipe at the King of Sudden Death... or more precisely, at the Thunder Spike Armor. The interplay of electricity and fire caused a huge explosion. The Flame Lion felt a severe pain in its paw, and then terrifying currents of electricity conducted onto its body, beginning to circulate.

Thunder crackled.

The next moment, flashes of electricity sparkled on the Flame Lion's body, followed by it spewing black smoke, its fur exploding outwards and its expression bewildered as it convulsed and collapsed...

And the King of Sudden Death... was still calmly standing there, not moving an inch, not attacking even once!

"What a pity, just a bit more..." The Dark Crow cackled.

"Alright, next one. It's your turn, Lu Teng, right? Next time when facing a Thunder Attribute opponent, don't rashly get so aggressive and close for an attack," Zhao Chen said.

Indeed, though Lu Teng also had not bad talent, in front of a monster like Lu Ran, he still seemed slightly lacking.

The cultivation level of their Pet Beasts wasn't in the same class at all.

"I..." Lu Teng had unspeakable grievances. If the enemy wasn't moving, what could he do! The physical strength of the Flame Lion wasn't enough to sustain multiple releases of flame.

"Its defensive power is truly strong," commented Zhao Chen, also looking at the King of Sudden Death with surprise.

Then, to save time, he said, "Alright, next one, Lu Yilang, your opponent will still be Lu Ran's Pet Beast, and you guys can freely attack it." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Everyone was shocked: !!!

Damn, how could they fight this? It's like facing a boss with built-in invincibility, their gaze on the King of Sudden Death was blank.

"The chairman is wise!" Meanwhile, the Dark Crow, upon hearing their other six divisions would now be able to slack, cheerfully explained to One Ear and the King of Sudden Death about what Zhao Chen had just said.

On hearing this, the King of Sudden Death, which thought it could leave, had a big question mark over its head... Why, why was it still picked! Unbeknownst to it, Lu Ran had Zhao Chen specifically "look after" it.

Collisions between energies, due to different energy characteristics, lead to different reactions, like the explosion between flame and thunder and lightning. These explosions could destabilize the shaping of the Thunder Armor.

Facing dozens of different Attribute attacks daily, over the course of more than a month, the King of Sudden Death had adjusted its Thunder Spike Armor to be more stable, more solid, gaining experience in defending against various Attributes. To train his Pet Beasts, Lu Ran had indeed put in a great deal of effort...
