Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 225 We are the champions!!!
On the field,

As the shockwave dissipated and the dust settled, a lithe figure unexpectedly entered everyone's field of vision.

Its speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, and the low growl that rolled out between roars became the clarion call for the final charge.

Lu Hao gripped the armrest of his seat tightly, Zhuang Jianbai stared wide-eyed, Nie Li leaned forward, and all the audience members were shocked by what they were seeing.

Even after breaking through to the third tier, why is the Ink Tree Spirit still so vulnerable in front of the Wind-Gathering Hound?
Aren't we all Tier 3 pets?

Why is your combat power so much higher?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cola rushed to the fallen Ink Tree Spirit.

The latter was not killed instantly and struggled to get up. Its green leaves swayed and two branches, like hands, supported it on the ground.

Thanks to the Twin Flower Concubine's reminder, Cola knew that he had to defeat this kind of pet beast with healing abilities quickly and not give it any chance to catch its breath.

Its gaze sharpened, and with a light leap, it landed directly on the trunk of the Ink Tree Spirit. It lowered its head slightly and growled softly, "Awooo!"

The moment the low growl sounded, dozens of materialized wind blades swirled around Cola, like gleaming blades, locking onto the Ink Tree Spirit.

Xia Heng's urgent call echoed in the mind of the Ink Tree Spirit, but lying on the ground, it was powerless to react further. It could only bury its roots in the ground, trying to use its vigorous vitality to block this fatal blow.

Of the several skills Cola has mastered, Wind Blade is not only the first skill he mastered, but also the one he is most proficient in, and the damage it can cause is quite considerable.

Bang bang bang!
One after another, wind blades roared out, bombarding the Ink Tree Spirit continuously.

At the same time, Cola stretched out its claws and pressed down hard on the swaying trunk of the Ink Tree Spirit, rendering it unable to move. It could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded, feeling its condition rapidly deteriorating.

That's what you did to me before!
boom!
After a barrage of attacks, the Ink Tree Spirit's body was covered in horrifying wounds, its aura rapidly weakened, and even its gaping maw closed tightly.

Cola, with an imposing aura, released its claws and strode around the Ink Tree Spirit with unstoppable strides. Then, it raised its head and roared at the audience in all directions before looking at Xia Heng, who was standing there dumbfounded: "Awooo!"

Next!
I want to beat ten Cokes!
Cola's roar snapped the stunned audience out of their daze, and thunderous applause erupted.

Lu Hao excitedly stood up, slammed his fist on the computer desk, and exclaimed excitedly, "This is General Dog!"

"This is the number one Wind-Gathering Hunting Dog of the Eastern Empire!"

The live stream was incredibly popular.

"I thought this would be a close match, but it turned out like this?"

"Can any experts explain why the Ink Tree Spirit was so easily defeated?"

"Easily defeated? At least the Ink Tree Spirit managed to injure the Wind-Gathering Hound, something no other contestant has achieved."

"It feels like Consultant Chen is a bulldozer, rampaging and crushing everything in his path."

In the front row of the audience, Xia Heng's relatives and friends groaned in despair. His third uncle put down his crossed legs and looked at him with a meaningful gaze: "I wonder if we can buy this Gale Hunting Hound?"

He inquired about Chen Yuan's identity through various channels yesterday and learned that the latter was just a child from the mountains.

If you're willing to sell this Galehunter, I'll pay any price.

In any case, no matter how much money he has, it's just a string of cold, hard numbers to him.

But this absurd idea was fleeting. Uncle Three shook his head and smiled helplessly: "What are you thinking? With his current achievements, it might not be long before you can't even reach his level."

In contrast to the wailing and lamenting of his family and friends, Zhang Hao waved his cheering stick and shouted, "Go, Consultant Chen!"

Xuanhe Village
"Ouch!"

Before Duck and Bear Cub could react to Cola's victory, the entire Paw Patrol team became excited.

Some barked to express their excitement, others ran around the square, darting back and forth, and still others tangled their tails together, with several Paw Patrol members spinning in circles.

For these Paw Patrol members, Cola is not only their leader, but also their king and their most devout faith.

The villagers applauded enthusiastically, and Uncle Zhao even stood up, tilted his head back, and said in a loud voice: "I gave Xiao Chen this Ningfeng hunting dog. I felt from the beginning that it had extraordinary talent and would definitely achieve great things in the future."

"it is as expected!"

Cheers erupted, but Song Guohao's attention was elsewhere. He secretly glanced at another area and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The group of wild pets that were there earlier were gathered here, quietly eating the food on the ground, led by the Flame-tailed Fox and the Ice-freezing Fox.

In fact, some bad-tempered wild pets have tried to snatch food from the hands of weaker pets, and the two sides have clashed, almost causing a riot.

Duck was about to come over to mediate when it saw Papa Bear and his cub swagger over. With a glare, the hot-tempered beast obediently retreated, and the fight vanished without a trace, resulting in the harmonious scene we see now.

Eat slowly, eat more.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Taozi brought several village children with them. They brought snacks they had hidden at home and shared them all.

Little Zhao stroked the Ice Dew Rat as it devoured its food, and said softly, "No need to rush, no one's going to take it from you."

Adults watched the game attentively, while children fed the animals, creating a harmonious scene both inside and outside the square.

But the atmosphere above the Fengcheng Arena, thousands of miles away, was still heavy and oppressive.

Looking at the unconscious Ink Tree Spirit lying on the ground, Xia Heng couldn't help but recall the scene of the Ink Tree Spirit trapping him and forcibly using that spiritual plant.

They had given their all, even leaping from the second to the third tier, but they still couldn't stop this Wind-Gathering Hound.

Zhuang Jianbai is right; defeating Consultant Chen is indeed an extremely difficult task.

Xia Heng sighed inwardly, but a smile appeared on his face: "You've worked hard, get some rest."

"We will not stop here."

After retrieving the Ink Tree Spirit from his pet space, Xia Heng looked ahead, his gaze sweeping over the Wind-Gathering Hound that was running wildly around the arena and interacting with the audience, before landing on Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's expression remained calm as always, as if the battle just now was insignificant to him.

Xia Heng remained silent, his gaze suddenly hardening as a mysterious and intricate white summoning array appeared before him.

He hasn't lost yet.

He cannot admit defeat.

"Come forth, raging crocodile."

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, the raging crocodile swung its long tail in response to Xia Heng, its dark eyes staring straight ahead, the black spikes on its back protruding towards the sky, and its light blue body containing terrifying explosive power.

"Contestant Xia Heng has recalled the unconscious Ink Tree Spirit and instead sent out the Raging Tide Crocodile." The commentator's voice rang out at the right time, still full of passion, "According to the information, the Raging Tide Crocodile is Xia Heng's initial pet, which has accompanied him through hundreds of battles, large and small, and has a very deep understanding of water-type skills."

"But Chen Yuan's Wind Hound is still in good form. Raging Crocodile must defeat Wind Hound first and then face Flame Cloud Falcon before it can have any hope of winning."

"Wait, is Chen Yuan not going to send out the Wind-Gathering Hounds again?"

"Huh?" Cola turned her head in confusion.

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "You should come back first. It's time for Sparks to take the stage in the second round."

"Ow?"

Upon hearing this, Cola's eyes widened, her face full of confusion.

I defeated the Ink Tree Spirit, shouldn't I be allowed to continue fighting the Raging Tide Crocodile?
Cola, I'm going to take on two opponents in one go!

Chen Yuan instantly understood what Cola had misunderstood. He smiled slightly and said gently, "I understand your desire to continue fighting, but..."

He changed the subject and continued, "You are all my pet beasts, so you should all have a chance to participate."

After a pause, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly: "And think about it, if Spark fails, it will be your turn to turn the tide."

"Ow!"

Upon hearing this, Cola's eyes widened immediately.

Turn the tide!

If the boss can't beat you, but you win, wouldn't that mean you're better than the boss?
Then everyone will think that they are the master's number one pet!

Thinking of this, Cola couldn't wait to let out a loud "Awooo!"

Master, please take me back!
I will turn the tide!

Seeing the reaction from the cola, Chen Yuan smiled.

His idea was actually very simple: it was the finals, so both kids should play, and he couldn't show favoritism.

Even if Spark goes first and easily defeats his opponent, he will still choose to send Cola out.

In addition, Spark had almost never encountered a water-type pet that countered it before, so this was a good opportunity to train its ability to fight against type disadvantages.

Anyway, Cola is in excellent condition, so even if Sparks is defeated, it can still help Chen Yuan achieve the final victory.

Afterwards, Cola returned to Chen Yuan's side and quietly watched the battle. With a thought, a green summoning array appeared on the ground in front of him, and sparks wrapped in white light spread their wings and soared into the air!
"Chirp!"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the venue. Spark spread its orange-yellow wings and soared in the air around the field. Its long, fiery red tail trailed behind it in a dazzling red arc. Its body shook off bursts of sparks, exuding an intense sense of oppression without restraint.

Upon its appearance, Spark was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, while the raging crocodile on the field looked wary and nervously flicked its long tail.

Zhuang Jianbai was puzzled: "Why did Consultant Chen send Yan Yunjun?"

Jiang Yuntao rested his chin on his hand and pondered: "Perhaps we want to train Yan Yun Falcon's ability to fight against opponents with opposing attributes?"

Zhuang Jianbai was even more puzzled: "Teacher, this is the finals!"

Jiang Yuntao shrugged: "This shows that Consultant Chen has full confidence in his abilities."

"This unconditional trust in pets is precisely where Consultant Chen's charm lies."

Xia Heng was equally puzzled, but he knew that Chen Yuan's first decision had a profound meaning, so he dared not be careless: "Raging Crocodile Waves, Water Pressure Cannon!"

"Roar!"

The raging crocodile roared, its dark eyes locking onto the sparks dancing in the air. Suddenly, it opened its massive jaws and spewed out a powerful jet of water that shot through the air!

As Xia Heng's initial pet, this Raging Tide Crocodile was clearly stronger than the Ink Tree Spirit, and its water pressure cannon was incredibly swift.

Seeing this, the guide spoke at lightning speed: "The Raging Crocodile is using Water Pressure Cannon, a high-power water-type skill. Flame Cloud Falcon will probably choose to dodge it."

But the next second, the guide frowned: "Wait, Yan Yun Falcon doesn't seem to be planning to dodge!"

"It chose to confront them head-on!"

Spark vibrates its wings and puffs out its cheeks, choosing to meet the oncoming water pressure cannon head-on. It then gathers a thick pillar of fire and bursts forward with a wave of heat!

Rumble!
In an instant, the water column and the fire column collided violently in mid-air, and the deafening explosion continued to bombard the eardrums. The audience in the front row couldn't help but cover their ears, but they stared wide-eyed ahead.

At the point where the skills collided, plumes of steam rose and vanished into thin air in an instant.

Suddenly,
The pillar of fire gradually gained the upper hand in the collision and continued its charge forward, unleashing a sudden surge of heat. "Roar!"

The raging crocodile was forced to stop its attack and quickly turned to dodge to the side, its massive body moving nimbly across the ground.

boom!
The pillar of fire struck the spot where the raging crocodile had just been, causing the ground to sink, turn black, and spew up gravel, before the heatwave vanished.

"This is unreasonable! Both are third-tier pet beasts, so how can Flame Surge defeat Water Pressure Cannon! Doesn't attribute advantage apply to Consultant Chen?"

Seeing this, Liu Xin was filled with disbelief and suddenly stood up and shouted.

Yuan Xiong pressed him back into his seat, his tone indifferent: "This is Consultant Chen's Yan Yun Falcon."

Liu Xin sat back in his seat: "Oh, that makes sense."

In the first round of head-on confrontation, Yan Yunjun gained the upper hand with his unreasonable fire-type moves, which made countless viewers feel incredulous.

But the facts are clear: even with its attribute advantage, the Raging Crocodile can hardly gain the upper hand.

After the Ink Tree Spirit was easily defeated by the Wind Hound, Xia Heng's mental fortitude was beyond imagination. He had long been prepared to go through a tough battle, so his gaze was calm and the thought came to mind: "Vortex Strangulation".

The Flame Cloud Falcon has air superiority; we must find a way to bring it down!

The next moment, the raging crocodile raised its head and roared, and a constantly rotating vortex of water quickly appeared in mid-air, trapping Spark within it.

The vortex rotates at high speed, constantly impacting the spark's body, and a tremendous force pulls its body downwards!
Looking at this scene, Lü Hao stroked his chin, his face showing no worry: "Why does this scene look so familiar?"

"It seems that the Wind-Gathering Hound was also trapped by the Corrupted Roots before, and everyone knows what happened next."

He stared intently at the camera, holding up two fingers: "I'll give you a number, at most two minutes for Consultant Chen to lift the championship trophy."

Upon seeing the comments questioning him, Lü Hao slapped his thigh and instinctively said, "If it exceeds two minutes, I'll..."

His eyes darted around, his voice abruptly stopped, and then he chuckled, "I'll just say Xia Heng is awesome."

On the field,
"Flame Energy Assault." Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he instantly issued the order.

"Chirp!"

Despite the persistent pain caused by the vortex, Spark unfurled its wings, unleashing streams of flame that surged forth, its momentum soaring, leaving a trail of bright flames behind it.

Flames roared, the extremely high temperature evaporating the swirling vortex, sparks struggling within, a deep blue eye fixed on the raging crocodile, folded its wings, and swooped down at top speed!

Xia Heng had long known that the vortex strangulation wouldn't trap Yan Yunjun for long, but he was still shocked when he saw Yan Yunjun break free easily.

Fortunately, Xia Heng had already issued the order: "Once again, water pressure cannon."

"Roar!"

A powerful jet of water erupted and shot straight toward the sparks!

Spark's eyes were arrogant, and her body, which was surging with flames, dodged and easily avoided the incoming water columns.

But the raging crocodile did not give up. It quickly adjusted the direction of the water pressure cannon and continued to bombard the charging sparks!
Water jets roared, sparks flew, and a thrilling chase unfolded in the sky.

But the spark was too fast. Even though the raging crocodile kept adjusting its direction and shifting its body, it could not hit it. It could only watch helplessly as the orange-yellow figure got closer and closer until the surging flames engulfed its vision.

"The tail of the wave!" Xia Heng's eyes flashed, and the idea arose.

If there's no way to avoid it, then let's face it head-on!
"Roar!"

The raging crocodile roared, its fighting spirit roused by the beast tamer's voice. It lashed out with its powerful tail at the incoming sparks, causing water to splash everywhere.

boom!
The two collided: one side was a raging inferno carrying sparks and flames, while the other side was a raging crocodile standing on the ground, advancing instead of retreating, and launching a counterattack with a roar.

Their eyes met, and they were locked in a brief silence.

Can.
"Roar!"

With a roar of unwillingness, the raging crocodile could clearly feel an unreasonable force crushing it, and the scorching heat continuously baking its entire body. Its pupils shrank, and the next moment it was blasted away.

Boom!
The raging crocodile crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"The tail of the waves was ultimately no match for the sudden attack of the flame energy!"

"Yan Yunjun has the advantage in this round of confrontation!"

Yan Yunjun's unparalleled performance and the narrator's passionate voice stirred the audience's emotions, earning them enthusiastic applause.

"Ow"

Hearing the enthusiastic applause, Cola stared blankly at the big sister's back, then looked at her owner beside her with a pitiful expression.

Master, didn't you say that Big Sister was no match for Raging Crocodile?

Can I still turn the tide?

Before Chen Yuan could respond, a light blue figure suddenly rushed into view, leaping several meters high and opening its menacing maw to bite at the spark in mid-air!

A raging crocodile suddenly attacks!

A single Flame Energy Shot was not enough to defeat the Water-type Raging Crocodile, which, despite being injured, still had the strength to fight.

The wild boar shook its head and said regretfully, "What a pity, it didn't kill him in one hit."

Bai Jue glanced sideways: "The one opposite is at least a third-tier water-type pet."

The wild boar suddenly awoke with a start.

Unbeknownst to him, he had made a one-hit kill a basic requirement for Consultant Chen.

At the same moment,

The raging crocodile that attacked suddenly was almost within reach of Spark, but the latter reacted quickly, violently flapping its wings and unleashing a burst of flames from its mouth.

Flames surged, the temperature was scorching, and the raging crocodile roared unwillingly, but had no choice but to fall to the ground.

Xia Heng frowned.

How exactly did Consultant Chen cultivate this Flaming Cloud Falcon?
He believed he had poured a lot of effort into the Raging Wave Crocodile and had no shortage of various spiritual plant resources, so why couldn't he compare to the Flame Cloud Falcon, whose attributes were even countered?
A flurry of thoughts flashed through Xia Heng's mind as he exhaled softly and focused his attention back on the field.

Although the Raging Crocodile has an attribute advantage, the Flaming Cloud Falcon can fly.

We can't let it keep flying!
Seeing Xia Heng deep in thought, Jiang Yuntao sighed, "He's in trouble."

Zhuang Jianbai nodded in agreement: "Yes, the decline is already evident."

Zhuang Jianbai suddenly thought of his past self; once he showed that expression on the field, it meant that defeat was not far away.

Xia Heng can only defeat Consultant Chen if a miracle happens.

Baokun City,
A group of passersby were looking up at the large screen in front of the Beastmaster Association building.

"Consultant Chen is awesome!"

"We're just one step away from the championship!"

"Get ready to set off firecrackers!"

In a shadowy corner unseen by anyone, a large, jet-black cat stood silently, gazing at the large screen from afar, its eyes gleaming: "Meow~"

Beside it, a leopard cat was playing and frolicking with several kittens.

The enthusiastic cheers were like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, but Chen Yuan and Xia Heng, who were in the middle of the tide, remained increasingly calm.

The charm of pet battles lies in the fact that until the very last moment, no one knows whether a miracle will happen.

Chen Yuan cannot relax before the battle ends, and Xia Heng cannot give up.

Xia Heng suddenly broke into a bright smile and looked directly at Chen Yuan: "Advisor Chen, come on."

"The final showdown."

The moment the words left his mouth, the raging crocodile raised its head and roared, opening its jaws as if responding to the beast tamer, and the water pressure cannon was rapidly prepared.

Chen Yuan's lips curled slightly, and his calm voice carried through the microphone throughout the venue: "Come on."

"Chirp!"

Spark's eyes were arrogant as it violently flapped its orange-yellow wings, unleashing a raging inferno!

In that instant, the originally dark blue eyes flashed with bright flames, and the raging flames seemed to be summoned, surging in from all directions and instantly converging into two fiery storms!
The flame storms raged from the left and right, violently distorting the air. The fire waves piled up like a tsunami, almost sweeping across most of the area, and charged towards the raging crocodile.

Many viewers swallowed hard, bewildered by the shocking scene before them.

Compared to the previous matches, this one was significantly more intense.

boom!
The surging water jets struck the raging firestorm as if they were hitting a toy water gun into a raging wildfire, without causing the slightest ripple.

"Roar"

Watching the ever-advancing flame storm and feeling the increasingly scorching heat, the raging crocodile felt an uncontrollable surge of fear and silently took a step back.

But behind it was Xia Heng.

So the raging crocodile stopped, its unwilling gaze fixed ahead, and opened its mouth again, spewing out a jet of water!
In an instant, the water column evaporated, and water vapor swirled in the air.

A heat wave roared in, and a raging storm of flames relentlessly squeezed the raging crocodile. The unbearable flames scorched its entire body, turning its light blue form charred black.

The raging crocodile strained to open its eyes wide, its gaze leaping past the surging flames and burning storm, landing on the Flame Cloud Falcon in mid-air.

Those originally deep blue eyes were tinged with a golden light, like the morning sun falling on a calm and deep sea, where the surface shimmered and the waves surged beneath.

The next moment, the raging crocodile turned its head and glanced at Xia Heng, their eyes met, and then it collapsed.

"The raging crocodile has lost its ability to fight!"

In the electrifying arena, the head referee took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Therefore, the winner of this match is Chen Yuan's opponent!"

Bang bang bang!
At that moment, dazzling fireworks burst in the night sky. Chen Yuan patted the sullen Coke and smiled slightly: "Let's go, it's time to welcome our championship moment!"

"Ow!"

Upon hearing this, Cola immediately became excited.

champion!

we are the champion!
We're champions again!

　The good news is that the competition was finally finished quickly, which is a relief. The bad news is that I caught a cold due to the recent temperature change, which may affect updates in the next few days.
