The black flame chains didn’t disappear quickly like typical ultimate moves; instead, the continuously emerging black flame chains were compressing the activity space.
The Flame Chasing Furry Dog let out a howl and charged toward Zhou Weijun. The opponent’s beast blocked the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, but because of this action, they had to stop their attempt to destroy the black flame chains.
"It’s very strange, this ultimate move seems more like an area suppression. Even without contact, you can sense the power characteristic embedded in the chains synergistically nullifying and suppressing energy operation."
Veronia spoke with some doubt, feeling that Xiao Ji’s ultimate move was quite peculiar, even though it might not be able to fully discern what tactics the other party was playing. The larger the scope of such restrictive ultimate moves, the greater the consumption becomes. Even though Xiao Ji’s current power is close to the Legendary Level and relies on the unique abilities of Divine Beasts, it’s likely to occupy most of the usable energy.
After all, Divine Beasts can quickly recover their energy bar, but they don’t have an infinite energy bar length. Energy-consuming ultimate moves directly occupy the amount of energy Divine Beasts can use, leading to the fact that even if the energy recovery speed is maxed out, it’s useless.
In essence, there is no upper limit to usable energy, and no matter how fast the recovery speed is, it’s pointless.
"Area suppression? What exactly is Xiao Ji doing?"
Feng Yuan was stunned; he didn’t quite understand what Xiao Ji intended to do. Given Xiao Ji’s personality, shouldn’t it be deploying an offensive ultimate move to set the field?
The black flame chains have a concrete presence, thereby limiting the maneuvering space of Zhou Weijun’s beast within the covered area. Strangely, however, the black flame chains don’t affect the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, or rather, to the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, those chains seem illusionary and wouldn’t collide.
"Suppress the enemy and create opportunities for teammates to approach? Xiao Ji actually knows how to coordinate?"
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan muttered a sentence. At this moment, Zhou Weijun had no choice but to command his beast to retreat; otherwise, they would be too passive within the chain area. Eyeing the approaching Flame Chasing Furry Dog, Zhou Weijun decided to resolve that first.
Just as the Flame Chasing Furry Dog dashed out of the chain blockade for an instant, Zhou Weijun’s beast released the already prepared Shield Break ultimate move, shattering the blood-red barrier attached to the Flame Chasing Furry Dog by Xiao Ji instantaneously.
The next second, the long-charged offensive ultimate move struck the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, instantly triggering its enhancement effect. The Flame Chasing Furry Dog originally imposed a substantial damage reduction and rapid recovery methods on itself, combined with high health under the Qi Realm Stance Defense; it managed to eat those ultimate moves without losing combat capabilities.
With the characteristic defense of the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s Qi Realm Stance, the opponent couldn’t achieve a one-hit kill, and next, it’s its turn to shine.
The glow of enhancement effects continuously wrapped around the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, and both could sense the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s momentum significantly surge.
"Waiting right here..."
Zhou Weijun felt an unease without needing to ask; he could guess what happened. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. The Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s miraculous counterattack post-damage absorption is surely impenetrable by his beast.
However, Zhou Weijun wasn’t flustered; he immediately issued an order for his beast to attack again. Regardless of the opponent’s situation, needing to suffer several charged powerful ultimate moves without any effect is impossible.
As long as the opponent can be resolved before launching an attack, it’s not a significant issue.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Weijun commanded his beast. But at this moment, the blood-red barrier enveloped the Flame Chasing Furry Dog once again. Feng Yuan saw this and said in surprise:
"It’s indeed teamwork, but...what can they do after this feint? Counterattack?"
Due to the abrupt reappearance of the blood-red barrier, Zhou Weijun’s beast couldn’t stop in time, thus all their attacks landed on the blood-red barrier. Using the transmitted attack, the Black Sun initiated a counterattack again.
This time, it wasn’t about the bloodline; instead, the blood-red fire crows cawing rushed toward Zhou Weijun’s beast. At the same moment, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog began to charge, flames condensing in its mouth.
"Attempting to dodge the attack is quite a failed command."
Veronia noticed the abnormal movement of the chains and spoke out. Zhou Weijun dared not directly confront Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s counterattack, considering Feng Yuan’s two beasts were absurdly powerful; their defensive capabilities aside, their attacking prowess wasn’t lacking either. Without dodging the charged ultimate moves, his beast might not withstand it.
Unfortunately, he didn’t notice the abnormal changes in the black flame chains. The originally fixed chains were slowly shifting, and in the next second, these chains suddenly dove into the void and disappeared.
However, this wasn’t Xiao Ji releasing the ultimate move; instead, around Zhou Weijun’s beast, a multitude of chains emerged from the void, instantly sealing their area. These chains didn’t maintain a solid state but slowly faded as they interwove and vanished into the virtual.
Yet, this didn’t mean they could move; quite the contrary. Zhou Weijun’s beast felt the surrounding space seemingly turn into a dense solid, freezing them in place, unable to move.
Without waiting for Zhou Weijun to figure out a solution, Xiao Ji’s and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s counterattacks arrived, burying his beasts in the ultimate move, leaving Zhou Weijun sighing inwardly.
"We won, although the Telekinetic Brown Bear and Water Control Spirit Turtle haven’t been taken down, it’s impossible to turn the tables."
Looking at the three beasts that were downed, Veronia spoke, and Zhou Weijun made the same judgment himself. After all, it was just a spar, no need to take it too seriously.
As Zhou Weijun conceded defeat, the battle concluded. Everyone watched in amazement as the previously fallen beasts quickly regained vitality; not only that, even their injuries seemed nonexistent.
"Ha, didn’t expect your beast’s power to be so exaggerated. If not for something missing, I’d really think you are an old-school Legendary Beast Master."
Zhou Weijun saw his beasts unharmed and calmly walked to Feng Yuan, saying with a relaxed expression. Glancing at the other party, Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly and said:
"It should be due to the Qi Realm Stance; its amplification is stronger than expected."
Feng Yuan truly didn’t anticipate the Qi Realm Stance Defense enabling Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog to easily defeat opponents in a two versus five scenario.
"Rather than being strong, it’s more about never encountering this joint tactic before, thus failing to craft an effective response."
Veronia glanced at Xiao Ji and said. In its view, the Qi Realm Stance Defense’s enhancement to Xiao Ji’s power was limited. The reason for the easy victory this time was entirely due to Zhou Weijun being unaware of Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog’s ultimate move combination.
Otherwise, having a precaution, countering Xiao Ji wouldn’t be particularly challenging. Shield Break might be unusable, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other strategies to employ.
"Haha, you’re also right. If I knew it would use blockade control, I’d definitely resolve it first. As for the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, as long as it’s not collectively targeted, it shouldn’t erupt easily, right?"
"Mm, that’s correct, but the Qi Realm Stance Defense is a full set of ultimate move combination, simply piercing the shield isn’t necessarily effective."
Nodding, Feng Yuan reminded, the reason the Qi Realm Stance Defense achieved such results was not only because of the unexpectedness but also due to the closely interlinked and devoid of excess ultimate moves.
Normally, it’s challenging for Spirit Beasts’ ultimate moves to reach such a level, which is a unique feature of the Qi Realm Stance, however...
"This can be guessed. After all, I’ve read the materials testing the Qi Realm Stance, and although the consolidation effect is good, I wouldn’t dare say my mental state meets the criteria."
Smiling wryly, Zhou Weijun obviously wasn’t tempted by the idea of Qi Realm Stance Defense. That entity, he genuinely didn’t want to touch.
"Hehe, that’s good. I really feared you’d think about going back to implement a Qi Realm Stance. Attacks might be barely manageable, likely becoming a bit impulsive. Defensive stances are a no-go unless you specialize in Cultivating the Mind; otherwise, it’d probably drive one insane."
Sighing, Feng Yuan explained that the Qi Realm Stance Defense demands high mental state requirements, yet few Beastmasters engage in cultivating the mind, not only due to its complexity but also because it doesn’t enhance combat power.
In their youth, they strive to develop their beasts because that period marks the fastest growth phase for beasts. As they gradually slow down, age catches up.
At this stage, many are occupied with trivial matters. Unless there’s a specific necessity, it’s genuinely uncertain whether they can allocate time for Mental State cultivation.
"Just as I guessed, the price is colossal, and the exchanges only yield a non-decisive power. Perhaps those practicing factions would readily embrace this new thing."
"Sadly, I’m not up for it."
Laughing self-deprecatingly, Zhou Weijun had no desire to explore Qi Realm Stance Defense, finding it unpalatable.
