Chapter 59: The Power of Shadow
The world of beast control is much larger than the real world, so the transportation is also very developed. Taking the shared mechanical beast "Little Electromagnetic Donkey" that can recognize its own way, Russell arrived at the Bloodstone Martial Arts Hall not long after.
"Brother Luo, why are you free to pick up Da Dao Mantis today?"
Seeing the big client Russell appear in the martial arts hall, Xiang Heng hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
During this period of time, Russell was so busy that no one was around. Lu Yinning from his store was responsible for picking up and dropping off. Russell suddenly came to the door today. Xiang Heng couldn't help but have a little expectation and a little worry in his heart.
It's the feeling of wanting to make money but not wanting to go to work. Workers all know it...
"After all the work is done, you still have to take care of your pet."
After exchanging a few words with Xiang Heng, Russell turned his eyes to the side. The big sword mantis.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Let me show you your training results."
Sa——!
Upon hearing the beast master's request, Daodao Mantis, who felt that his combat power had increased rapidly recently, closed his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a standard ready posture.
Then, it used the sandbag in front of it as an imaginary enemy, darted left and right, combined the virtual and the real, and struck continuously with its blade and arm, performing a set of smooth close combat skills.
While admiring the showy skills of the Great Sword Mantis, Russell also briefly checked its information.
Since he started training in physical arts, he has eaten a lot of training meals every day to promote blood flow and strengthen physical fitness. The most basic and core insect attribute of Daodao Mantis has grown rapidly, but the steel attribute has been somewhat stagnant.
However, Russell himself did not intend to over-strengthen Dao Mantis's steel ability.
The fighting style of pet beasts with pure steel attributes is usually strong and heavy, with wide open and wide movements, which is somewhat contradictory to Daodao Mantis's self-made Mantis Fist, which specializes in roaming fighting.
It should be the most reasonable ratio to metalize the blade arm, which is the main weapon, and slightly harden the other parts of the body to increase defense somewhat without hardening the joints and slowing down the speed.
After more than half a month of hard training, Dadao Mantis's basic physical skills proficiency has reached a very high level, and there are several low-level skills that can be understood in the ability development column.
Unfortunately, they are all basic skills such as insect swatting and insect bites, and the effect is not as good as the alloy claws that have been mastered.
Ayou mastered two rare skills one after another, which made Russell's standard for skill selection a lot higher. Naturally, he didn't want Daodao Mantis to learn a lot of low-level skills that were useless.
If you want to learn, learn something powerful!
For example, the Mantis Boxing that combines attack and defense!
As long as it can train the self-created progress of Mantis Boxing to one percent, the next ninety-nine percent can be handed over to Russell.
Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but take a look at the "Source of Evolution" accumulation whose value was still zero.
The difficulty of obtaining this resource seemed to be much higher than he imagined.
It can only be obtained when the clan members transform, which places high demands on the quantity and quality of the clan.
But it makes sense when you think about it. If you can just raise a few of the same race and get the source of evolution, in a few days, all the insect-type beasts raised by Russell will be invincible.
Anyway, now is the time for Daodao Mantis to improve his basic skills, so he is not in a hurry to create his own skills.
"Let's first find a way to advance Ayou's lord status to the second stage and see if there will be any changes..."
With some curiosity and expectation, Russell decided to arrange matters to help Ayou increase the number of the tribe. Got to the front.
call--!
The promised fight is here!
Probably because Russell had been grinding for a long time after arriving at the Bloodstone Martial Arts Hall, Ayou, who was in the beast control space, became anxious.
"Uh... By the way, I want to find a sparring partner at the martial arts gym today to practice my skills."
Hearing Ayou's urging, Russell then remembered the "business" that he had come to the Bloodstone Martial Arts Gym for.
The price of actual sparring is much more expensive than pure training, because the challenger is generally weaker than the martial artist. The martial artist must not only give the opponent enough fighting experience, but also be careful not to injure the client, and the battle must be continued after the battle is over. Some of the guidance does require some real ability to do it.
Of course, if the martial artist sent out was defeated by the opponent in just a few hits, the martial arts school would be embarrassed to accept the money.
"Shall we let the Dao Dao Mantis have a real battle with my Blood-fang Greedy Wolf? The battle field in the backyard happens to be free..."
Xiang Heng smiled brightly when he heard that Russell wanted to buy a real sparring match.
An actual battle can usually be over in ten minutes, and the money earned is more than a whole day of training. It can be called the favorite service of martial artists.
"No, my UFO Hawkmoth advanced to the third level not long ago and has not been used in actual combat. I want to test its strength."
Hearing this, Russell shook his head and then summoned Ayou.
First evolving for the second time, and then absorbing the power of shadow, Ayou, this rather beautiful big moth, immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people as soon as it appeared.
"This seems to be the UFO Hawk Moth that I fought with Senior Brother Xiang before. Are the two of them going to compete again..." "It's
interesting. Move to the side. I want to see it too!"
Enjoying it ! With the attention of the surrounding eyes, Ayou even deliberately shook her wings, creating a few spreading gray and black ripples, adding special effects to her mysterious and cool look. This conspicuous bag...
Seeing Ayou flying around and showing off in the martial arts hall, Russell could only hold his forehead.
"UFO Hawk Moth... Okay! This actual sparring session is free no matter whether you win or lose. Let's fight again!"
Xiang Heng was a little excited when he heard that Russell wanted to use UFO Hawk Moth to fight him again.
He has always felt that the main reason why the Blood-fang Greedy Wolf lost to the UFO Hawkmoth was because he underestimated the enemy. In addition, Russell dared to make unexpected orders and ordered the pet beast to sell flaws to lure the enemy deeper. The Blood-fang Greedy Wolf was caught off guard and took a bite. The Nether Explosion resulted in a one-for-one victory.
Although Xiang Heng was not a very small-minded person, he suffered a huge defeat in the first competitive match of the rookie group. Such a blow really made him brood for a long time.
Don’t worry about the sparring fees! What Xiang Heng wants to do most now is to attack with all his strength and prove that his blood-toothed greedy wolf will not lose to a UFO Hawk Moth!
"Anything is fine."
Seeing Xiang Heng's eagerness to regain his place, Russell replied calmly.
When he was still at the second level, Ayou could rely on his flying advantage, coupled with Xiang Heng's slight underestimation of the enemy, and fought back and forth with the Blood-fang Greedy Wolf. Now, although Xiang Heng has completely put away his contempt, his eyes are like a torch and he is ready with all his strength. , but Ayou’s strength has also made great progress.
In his opinion, the Blood-toothed Greedy Wolf, whose strength growth rate was several blocks ahead of Ayou's, now has at most a 10% chance of winning.
.........
Amidst the commotion of everyone in the martial arts hall, the two quickly stood still on the battlefield. Because it was an actual sparring session, a protective force field was immediately opened around the venue.
"Russell, the home court gives way to the visitors, you attack first."
When the battle started, Xiang Heng showed a very polite attitude.
"Okay."
Seeing his opponent's humility, Russell didn't waste any time and immediately gave an order to Ayou.
After all, a real beast-control battle is not a turn-based game. Whoever comes first can fight first. When both parties are familiar with each other, the one who strikes first may not get much benefit. Doing so does not count as taking advantage of others. Xiang Heng's advantage.
"Ayou, activate the shadow form, use the Seam Shadow Arrow to control the Bloody Greedy Wolf and immediately use Nether Explosion."
In order to deeply experience the feeling of a surge in strength, Russell chose to let Ayou use full firepower.
call--!
good! Blow up the big dog!
This style of play was completely in line with Ayou's long-repressed desire to fight. It mobilized all the ghost energy in its body without saying a word.
In the shadow form, Ayou's wings became like two small black holes that could swallow light. If he hadn't known Russell's information in advance, Xiang Heng, who was standing opposite, would have found it hard to believe that this was a UFO moth.
I saw Ayou's wings moving slightly, and a swift shadow arrow shot towards the Bloody Greedy Wolf.
However, the Bloodfang Greedy Wolf's reaction speed was also quite good when it was fully focused. It immediately jumped sideways and dodged the incoming shadow arrows.
"Prepare to counterattack...what's going on?"
Xiang Heng originally thought that his opponent's skill shot missed, and planned to take this opportunity to close the distance and launch an attack. However, the next second, he received feedback that the Blood-fang Greedy Wolf could not move.
Woo...
Following the wail of Xueya Greedy Wolf, Xiang Heng turned to look.
It turned out that the shadow arrow that was a feint was firmly nailed on the shadow of the Blood-fang Greedy Wolf. The strange shadow power was activated, and the body of the Blood-fang Greed Wolf was also frozen in place.
"Break free with all your strength! Hurry!"
Having experienced Ayou's exaggerated attack power, Xiang Heng knew that he would be in danger of defeat if he stayed in place for more than three or four seconds. However, the Blood Fang Greedy Wolf did not learn purification skills. Now, He can only rely on brute force to resist the effect of the Shadow Sewing Arrow.
It's a pity that the Shadow Sewing Arrow, which has good control ability, is superimposed with the increase of the shadow form. How can it be broken away in a few or two times?
Moreover, as Ayou's mental power increased, the charging time of Nether Explosion was shortened a bit.
Three seconds of control and three seconds of charging time are just enough to perform a combo.
Buzz -
Under Xiang Heng's eager and helpless gaze, the violent ghost-type energy group came with a bang, and the Blood-fang Greedy Wolf was directly blown away.
Because he had received all the damage from this Netherworld Explosion, it turned into white light and flowed back to Xiang Heng's body before it even hit the ground.
At the same time, Xiang Heng also felt his vision go dark and almost fell to the ground.
