Chapter 261: Tournament (Part 3)
After Zhang Yuyan returned to the resting area, everyone naturally offered their congratulations.
However, Zhang Yuyan was extremely calm, as defeating such an opponent was nothing worth celebrating.
After a bit of idle chatter, the staff called out number one again.
Chu Chen was rather helpless about this; this time his opponent was number 596.
It's estimated that like Wang Lu, he was quite lucky and faced a lower-ranked opponent in the first round.
Before Chu Chen even stepped onto the arena, the opponent chose to forfeit directly.
The disparity in strength was too great, making it unnecessary to continue the match.
Soon, the third round of the match arrived.
This time, Chu Chen's opponent was number 53, named Shi Yan from Black Tortoise City.
This time the opponent had no intention of conceding, so Chu Chen had to obediently step onto the arena.
Shi Yan was a tall, burly young man; if not for the lingering youthfulness on his face, his physique was no different from those of muscular men.
Looking at Chu Chen, Shi Yan said in a deep voice, "You're Chu Chen, right? Do you dare to battle with two Guardian Beasts?"
Chu Chen touched his nose and replied, "Are you afraid of losing to me with just one Guardian Beast?"
Having his thoughts revealed, Shi Yan wasn't embarrassed and admitted frankly, "With one Guardian Beast, I'm indeed not your opponent, but with two, that's not necessarily the case. Enough with the talk; if you don't dare, let's flip a coin."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen laughed and said, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in your Guardian Beasts. I'm interested to see them."
Shi Yan, hearing this, immediately revealed a simple smile and confirmed once more, "You said it, no backing out."
Chu Chen didn't say much further upon hearing these words but raised his hand to summon Lei Yao and Nirvana.
Seeing this, Shi Yan was not stingy either and summoned his own Guardian Beasts.
His Guardian Beast was an Upper Grade Excellence Level Martial Rock Turtle, whose Realm had already reached Second Rank Commander Level.
The Martial Rock Turtle was large, about two meters in height and four meters long. Its shell was earth yellow, half a meter thick, with many complex runes on it. Its limbs were extremely sturdy, and its head was topped with a thick layer of keratin, indicative of its impressive Defense.
Shi Yan's second Guardian Beast was a Silver-Horned Rhinoceros of Superior Quality, also at Second Rank Commander Level.
Its shoulder height reached one zhang, its body length up to two zhang, clad in brown armor, its limbs like four pillars, most notably its silver curved horn about one meter long, which from afar looked like a curved blade flashing with cold glints, appearing exceptionally destructive.
Seeing this, Chu Chen directed the two beasts' battle tactics.
"Lei Yao, you will deal with that Silver-Horned Rhinoceros, its charging ability is very strong, don't clash head-on, use your agility advantage to prioritize attacking its legs. Nirvana, you take on the Martial Rock Turtle, remember to keep away from its head and attack its limbs."
The two beasts nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the referee directly announced the start of the match.
The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros let out a low roar, its four hooves moved with a thundering sound, even causing the ground to tremble as if experiencing a Level 3 or 4 earthquake.
Seeing this, Lei Yao also charged up, but it remembered Chu Chen's words well and didn't engage the opponent head-on.
When the two beasts were still two zhang apart, Lei Yao leaped directly over the head of the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros.
Due to its massive weight, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros stopped only after charging ten zhang away.
Lei Yao did not pursue but stood on the spot, watching the opponent with interest.
The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros seemed enraged by Lei Yao's gaze, letting out a roar and charging again.
At this moment, Lei Yao seemed to transform into a Bullfighter, twisting its body to dodge the opponent's charge.
After several rounds, the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros was panting heavily, engulfed by flames of anger, its eyes red, ready to charge again.
Seeing this, Shi Yan immediately adjusted the attack strategy.
The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros let out a roar, thick Gold Element gathered towards its silver horn, and then a silver blade about one zhang in length slashed towards Lei Yao.
Seeing this, Lei Yao didn't dare to be careless, quickly unleashing the Thunder Blade to engage.
The two attacks collided in mid-air with a muffled sound, and the Frenzied Gold and Thunder Elements swept across the arena.
Unlike in Lei Yao's fierce battle, the combat between Nirvana and the Martial Rock Turtle was much calmer.
The Martial Rock Turtle was even slower than Nirvana, so Nirvana used its speed advantage to circle the Martial Rock Turtle, occasionally biting its legs.
The Martial Rock Turtle's Defense Power was incredibly terrifying; such attacks were nothing to it. It simply retracted its limbs into its shell, letting Nirvana attack at will.
Seeing this, Chu Chen could only shake his head helplessly. Fortunately, this was the last match of the day, so he let the two beasts play freely without rushing them.
Seeing this, Shi Yan's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the panting Silver-Horned Rhinoceros and sighed helplessly, realizing the strength difference was too vast. Relying on the Silver-Horned Rhinoceros to win was unrealistic, so his hopes now lay with the Martial Rock Turtle.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate any longer and directly issued an attack order to the Martial Rock Turtle.
The Martial Rock Turtle suddenly let out a low roar as a peculiar energy emanated from its body.
Nirvana felt as though its mind was enveloped in chaos, its body seemed out of control, attacking the Martial Rock Turtle.
At this point, the Martial Rock Turtle suddenly extended its limbs out of its shell, moving quickly to turn and bite at Nirvana.
