Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 405 The Dawn and Dusk Flower Fairy Makes Her Debut! One-Hit Kill!

February 14th, afternoon.

Beijing Sports Center, Venue A.

The enormous circular arena was packed to capacity, filled with the deafening roar of the crowd, resembling a volcano about to erupt.

Colorful flags fluttered in the stands, while a huge holographic projection screen displayed athlete information and highlights.

As the previous match ended, dazzling fireworks burst forth under the arena's dome, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

The stirring music echoed in every corner, and the air was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Just then, the commentator's booming voice blared throughout the venue through the loudspeakers:
"Alright! Thank you for the exciting match in the last game. The next match is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated battles of the day!"

"First up is Jiang Chen from the Qiongzhou Beast Tamer Academy. He performed steadily and tactically, making his way through the rounds and successfully advancing to the knockout stage!"

"And his opponent—" the commentator deliberately dragged out the words, whetting the audience's appetite, before shouting in an even more passionate voice,

"This is Chen Yuan, affectionately known as Consultant Chen by netizens. Consultant Chen swept all opponents in the points competition with a mysterious and powerful second-tier dragon pet, advancing with a perfect record! He is recognized as one of the top favorites to win this tournament!"

“Wow——!!!”

Before the commentator had even finished speaking, a thunderous roar of applause and cheers erupted instantly.

Countless glow sticks and support signs were waved wildly in the stands, especially the sign that read "Advisor Chen," which was particularly eye-catching. The frenzied atmosphere almost lifted the dome.

Amidst the deafening roar, Chen Yuan and Jiang Chen slowly walked out from the contestant passages on either side and stepped onto the battlefield.

The two gazed at each other across the wide open space, their eyes meeting in the air.

Jiang Chen still had his familiar cold demeanor, dressed in all black, and his handsome and aloof appearance still drew cheers from a group of female viewers.

He slightly raised his eyes, gazing at Consultant Chen across from him, without speaking or showing any expression.

Chen Yuan's gaze, however, was calm as still water, deep and unfathomable.

Their eyes met at that moment, and they nodded simultaneously, as if to greet each other, everything understood without words.

The challenge I received a month ago has finally come to fruition.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in Qiongzhou Binhai City.

"Uncle Tian, ​​come quick, Consultant Chen is here!"

Inside the battle club,

Zhang Bai, Xiao Nan, and Li Zhen sat in the room, opposite a projection screen that was broadcasting the Donghuang Conference live. The table was covered with coconut juice and various seafood snacks.

"Here we go~"

Uncle Tian strode over carrying a steaming plate, and the large pile of colorful, fragrant, and delicious barbecued food immediately caught everyone's eye.

Zhang Bai snatched a skewer first, chewing it greedily while mumbling indistinctly:

"Uncle Tian, ​​your barbecue skills are getting better and better. Why don't we stop running the boat and start a barbecue restaurant together? Maybe it will be more profitable than running the boat."

He paused for a moment, then added with a smile, "By the way, when you put up an ad, just say it's barbecue that Consultant Chen personally praised."

Li Zhen gulped down a large mouthful of ice-cold beer, a smile spreading across his face: "I'll put up a million first."

Zhang Bai immediately gave a thumbs up: "Brother Li is generous, you should earn this money."

"Alright, the competition is about to start." Xiao Nan's spicy snack voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the two's discussion.

The once noisy club fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the familiar figure on the screen.

One of the club's staff members couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang, who do you think will win this match between Consultant Chen and Jiang Chen from Qiongzhou?"

Zhang Bai laughed heartily, patted his chest vigorously, and exclaimed confidently:

"Is that even a question? Of course it's Consultant Chen!"

The staff member frowned: "But Jiang Chen is the number one in the Beast Taming Academy, and his performance in the points competition was also very good. He has a better chance of winning."

"Most importantly, he is already the only son of his kind from Qiongzhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bai's eyes deepened, as if he were lost in some kind of memory.

After a moment, Zhang Bai shook his head, his tone full of emotion: "You weren't there at the time, so you don't know what happened."

"I remember our consultant Yao challenged consultant Chen, and the result was that the raging turtle was instantly killed by the wind-riding hound."

Upon hearing this, the staff member swallowed hard, but Zhang Bai's voice continued to ring in their ears: "After the battle, Chen Yuan looked at Jiang Chen, who had issued several challenges."

"But this time, Jiang Chen chickened out and refused Consultant Chen's challenge."

The staff fell into a deep silence.

"So, Jiang Chen has absolutely no hope of winning?"

Li Zhen swallowed a large shrimp and interjected, "It's not necessarily true. Pet battles are always full of unknowns. After all, Jiang Chen's Steel-Spine Poison Scorpion has already advanced to the Morning Star level, so it might be able to put up a fight."

Xiao Nan suddenly said, "Advisor Chen has three morning stars and one bright moon."

Li Zhen was taken aback: "Oh, never mind."

At the same time, in a cozy room.

Lan Yingdan was sitting in front of her computer, with the live broadcast of the match also playing on the screen.

A small, pink snake was wrapped affectionately around her arm, flicking its tongue. When the pink-tailed snake saw the familiar figure on the screen, it was immediately stunned.

It seemed to remember something and gently touched Chen Yuan on the screen with its tail.

Lan Yingdan smiled and said, "This is the first boy who isn't affected by your beauty."

"Hi~"

The pink-tailed velvet snake immediately cast a resentful look at Blue Tassel's arm with its tail.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop talking now. Let's focus on the game and see if this stinky ice block can snatch a small victory from Consultant Chen."

Meanwhile, at venue A.

The referee held his flag high, his sharp eyes sweeping over the players at both ends of the field.

Chen Yuan and Jiang Chen held their breath and focused, their auras shifting instantly.

"Game start!"

The moment the whistle blew, a soft yet dazzling golden light shone from Chen Yuan's shirt pocket.

The exquisitely beautiful figure of the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy gracefully flew out, her thin, gauze-like wings fluttering elegantly, scattering golden dust like stars.

Illuminated by the arena lights, she resembled a flower fairy descended to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.

Its appearance immediately drew cheers from the audience.

"Morning and Evening Fairy? Advisor Chen has changed the starting lineup for this match!" The commentator spoke up at the right time. "Advisor Chen did not send out Cangming Spirit Master, who performed brilliantly in the points stage, but instead sent out Morning and Evening Fairy. He has obviously changed his tactical arrangements."

The moment the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy appeared, a figure also appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

A flash of light appeared, and a huge pet beast suddenly materialized.

This pet resembles a fierce tiger, with its entire body covered in purplish-black fur and muscles exuding explosive power.

It has a pair of wings made of violent blue lightning energy growing from its shoulder blades, with electric snakes crackling and popping.

Its head is ferocious, with long, pale white fangs protruding from its lips, and its tail ends in a metal club covered with spikes.

As his limbs touched the ground, fine lightning crackled and spread across the earth, emanating a chilling and menacing aura.

Upon seeing the appearance of this pet beast, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Thunder Flying Tiger."

Thunder Flying Tiger, a thunder-attribute pet, is naturally born with the quality of a leader and is known for its swiftness. "Morning and Evening Flower Fairy."

Watching the Morning and Evening Flower Fairies fluttering gracefully across the field, drawing cheers from the crowd, Jiang Chen's cold expression instantly crumbled, replaced by deep solemnity.

Unlike other beast tamers, Jiang Chen had personally witnessed the entire process of the Twin Flower Concubines advancing to the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, and was also deeply shocked by the great battle between the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy and the Abyss Howling Viper.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying this Morning and Evening Flower Fairy was.

To be more precise, he knew better than any other contestant about Consultant Chen's strength.

To defeat the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy before him, he would have to go all out and perform beyond his usual level.

At this moment, the pets of both players made their appearance, and under the spotlight, the air in Hall A seemed to freeze.

The silence before the storm was abruptly broken by the deep roar of Lei Gang Fei Hu.

"Roar--!"

The Thunder Tiger roared to the sky, its wings, composed entirely of violent lightning energy, flapping wildly at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye.

The crackling, blinding electric snakes instantly coiled around its entire body, transforming its massive form into a blue-white lightning bolt that tore through the air, hurtling towards the Dawn and Dusk Flower Fairy at an almost teleportation-like terrifying speed.

Wherever the Thunder Tiger passed, it left only a faint smell of burning and arcs of electricity in the air. Its explosive speed caused a collective gasp to rise from the stands.

The figure of Lei Gang Fei Hu was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye; ordinary people could only see a blurry blue-white lightning bolt.

The next moment, Lei Gang Fei Hu's figure had already approached Chen Mu Hua Xian. His huge body was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression, and the violent lightning wrapped around his body made the little guys in the farm scream repeatedly.

"quack!"

Runrun Duck glanced at the majestic and powerful Thunder Tiger on the screen for a while, then looked at Dian Dian Flying Cat sprawled on the sofa with snacks in its paws, and suddenly shook its head.

Both being lightning-type pets, how come...
Hey.

On the field,

Facing the thunderous attack from the Flying Tiger, Chen Yuan remained calm, his command simple and clear: "Flourish."

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy gently fluttered its thin wings, a hint of curiosity appearing on its delicate face. It first gave the ferocious-looking Thunder Tiger a sweet smile, and then waved its slender arms.

In an instant, emerald green light surged out from its body, and the ground seemed to be infused with a powerful life force, with countless thick and tough vines and branches covered with fresh tender leaves breaking through the soil.

These vines, like living green pythons, rapidly intertwined and coiled, forming an incredibly thick and massive vine barrier in front of the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy in the blink of an eye.

The walls are covered with lush green leaves, exuding a rich, fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

As the most basic skill of Wood-type pets, Lush has an unimaginable number of uses, making it worthwhile for every Wood-type pet to explore in depth.

As for the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy, she has a strong spirit of inquiry. Every night she would hold a phone bigger than herself and keep looking at it, and then she would keep trying and practicing in the training ground.

Boom!

In the next instant, the Thunder Tiger's claws, imbued with the force of a thousand thunderbolts, slammed fiercely into the vine barrier.

A blinding flash of lightning exploded, accompanied by a deafening roar. Powerful electric current surged wildly across the surface of the vines, emitting a sizzling, burning sound.

However, the thick, massive green barrier only swayed slightly. The areas hit were charred black, but the overall structure remained as solid as a rock, completely unmoved.

The raging lightning power was completely absorbed and neutralized by this vibrant barrier.

The commentator's excited shouts rang out just in time: "Morning and Evening Fairy easily blocked Thunder Tiger's swift attack with her Lushness skill!"

"Offense and defense have switched, it's time for Dawn and Dusk Fairy to attack!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind: "Not good, retreat quickly!"

But his warning came too late.

The massive vine barrier seemed to be instantly imbued with life; the previously still branches, like a group of awakened snakes, suddenly shot out at a speed even faster than the retreating Thunder Tiger.

They deftly bypassed the lightning claws that tried to block them, and precisely and swiftly wrapped around the Thunder Tiger's limbs, waist, and abdomen, as well as its pair of energy-transformed lightning wings.

"Roar!!!"

The Thunder Flying Tiger roared in alarm and anger, its thunderous wings flapping wildly as it tried to break free. However, the vines were extremely tough and contained a peculiar soft strength, which made them tighten their grip the more it struggled.

A powerful electric current burst forth from its body, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; most of it was channeled into the earth by the vines, leaving only a few scorch marks on its surface, and it was impossible to break free of the restraints.

In the blink of an eye, it was bound into a giant green "zongzi" (rice dumpling), unable to move, and could only futilely let out a muffled roar.

When this scene unfolded before their eyes, the entire audience erupted in uproar, and people far away in Binhai City cheered.

"The Morning and Evening Fairy is going to win!"

"Sure enough, the cuter you are, the faster you win."

Amid the cheers, a staff member timidly spoke up: "But Jiang Chen is from Qiongzhou. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for him to cheer for Consultant Chen like this?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

Zhang Bai swallowed a piece of barbecue, squinted his eyes, savored the moment, and slowly said, "That makes sense, but Consultant Chen is our friend, so it's not wrong to cheer him on."

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded. Suddenly, he tilted his head back slightly, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Images of the past flashed through his mind as he said, "After all, we've been through so much together."

On the field,
Looking at the trapped Thunder Tiger, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and a thought came to mind: "Poisonous Bomb".

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy floated in mid-air, her hands clasped together in front of her chest. Deep purple-black energy rapidly gathered, forming a constantly rotating, eerie purple-black ball of light.

It gently pushed forward, and the purplish-black light ball drew an eerie arc, swiftly shooting towards the tightly bound Thunder Tiger.

Under Lei Gangfeihu's desperate gaze, the purplish-black light ball struck him precisely, followed by a loud explosion.

Rumble!
Accompanied by an ear-piercing explosion, the purplish-black light instantly engulfed the Thunder Tiger.

At this moment, the electric arcs flashing around Lei Gang Fei Hu completely extinguished, his massive body twitched violently, and then the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

The entwined vines quietly loosened, and Lei Gang Fei Hu, like a puppet with its strings cut, fell heavily onto the cold ground, kicking up a little dust, and had already lost all consciousness.

The whole place was dead silent!

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds.

The referee shouted, "Lei Gang Fei Hu is incapacitated!"

Immediately, like a volcanic eruption, deafening cheers, applause, and screams swept through the entire A venue.

Everyone was stunned by the battle that ended in the blink of an eye, and by the effortless and absolute control displayed by the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy.

The commentator shouted excitedly, his voice echoing for a long time: "Unbelievable, incredible! With just one move, Chenmu Huaxian knocked Lei Gang Feihu to the ground!"

"This is the most thrilling match so far in the knockout stage!"

"There are no fancy tactics, no physical confrontations, only an overwhelming and absolute crushing!"

The commentator's voice still echoed in the stadium, mixed with the cheers and screams of the audience, but Chenmu Huaxian ignored it and flew gently to the unconscious Lei Gang Feihu like a little fairy.

It gently waved its palms, and a burst of emerald light slowly bathed the Thunder Tiger's massive body: "Chirp~"

Little Tiger, it won't hurt anymore soon!
In no time, Lei Gang Fei Hu's injuries recovered rapidly. Its wounds healed, and it regained its strength. It slowly opened its eyes and saw Chen Mu Hua Xian, who looked like an angel.

"roar~"

Lei Gangfeihu grinned, revealing a simple, grateful smile, which contrasted sharply with his ferocious face.

When this scene appeared on the big screen, the audience buzzed with discussion:

"Beautiful, cute, and kind-hearted—where can you find such a perfect pet?"

"It's so lucky to be rivals with such a pet, and I can even get free treatment."

"I've heard that the Morning and Evening Flower Fairy has two forms. If this form is already so kind, the other one must be even more endearing, right?"
