In the middle of the platform opposite Wang Tao, a small monkey half the size of a human with red fur and a small flame on the tip of its tail glared at the Blackgold Python Tiger. Just left of it, a deer with deep blue fur and green antlers faced its foe
To the left of the Rain Deer, a butterfly with pointy edged wings that are half purple and half yellow as well as a black body and red eyes fluttered in the air as sparks of lightning leaked from its antennae. On the opposite end of the butterfly, a white and green hawk with sharp jade like green talons that are over 30 centimeters in length sharpened its talons against each other as sharp noises entered the ears of the crowd
Next to the hawk and the deer, a bear slightly taller but skinnier than the Flame Monkey wearing a mask made entirely of leaves whilst holding onto a spear made up of leaves pointed its spear at the Blackgold Python Tiger
"Interesting, five different elements at once with three on land and two in the air. It's a good combination, now let's see how well they can work together." Wang Tao smiled mischievously causing the fat on his cheeks to form dimples that further provoked his opponents
"Well I don't want others to say that I a Gold Star am bullying some Silver Stars, I'll let you guys have the first move." Wang Tao said
Crck* Crck*
"You!"
On the foreheads of three of the opponents, visible bulging red veins appeared showing their anger at Wang Tao's provocation. "Wow does it need to be so exaggerated? They even have veins popping out of their foreheads is this some cheap manhua? No wait it's a novel." Wang Tao thought
The owner of the Flame Monkey made the first move as it grabbed its left wrist which a ball of fire started to form. When it reached the ideal size, the flame monkey let go of its wrist and swung its entire body back as if it were pitching a baseball as the ball of fire unleashed from its hand
Whoosh*
The small ball of fire became larger and split into five fireballs of the same size that headed straight for the Blackgold Python Tiger, the Rain Deer fired two thin but powerful streams of water that is strong enough to easily cut through diamonds from its antlers. The streams of water shot through the gaps of the five fireballs as both attacks headed for the Blackgold Python Tiger
Roar*
The Blackgold Python Tiger waited for the attacks to reach it, when it came close to making impact with it, the owner of the Flame Monkey said "Haha, so arrogant and now you can't even move in the face of two attacks!"
Suddenly, the Blackgold Python Tiger waved its tail as the snake head fired two streaks of black liquid at the streams of water that continued firing endlessly whilst also whacking away the fireballs like they were nothing
Whoosh* Whoosh*
The five fireballs turned into air as the Blackgold Python Tiger's tail whacked them whilst the poisoned seeped into the streams of water and headed for the Rain Deer as the streams of water became solid and black and the same rate
Pow*
The poisoned entered the antlers of the Rain Deer coloring it pitch black rendering it enable to battle with its antlers any longer. Wang Tao shouted internally "Homerun!"
"What! He stopped my attack like it was nothing!" the Flame Monkey's owner shouted. "Well it seems like he isn't all talk, now it's my turn!"
The Talon of Wind flew high into the air as it spun after reaching a certain height. It's talons that were already large glew green whilst becoming larger and sharper at the same time. When the talons stopped growing, it flew at over 100 kilometers per hour at the Blackgold Python Tiger and swiped both its talons in unison
Whish*
Seeing that its attack missed on the first shot, the hawk attacked again. Only this time its attack was dodged again without it being able to know how that was possible. "What! My Talon of Wind can attack at speeds that surpass 200 kilometers per hour!! How can such a big cat dodge its attacks so easily!" one of the students shouted internally
The Blackgold Python Tiger continued dodging its attacks without much effort as the Flame Monkey threw more fireballs which were whacked into air whilst the tiger was dodging at the same time
"Impossible! He's actually fighting two monsters simultaneous attacks without breaking a sweat! One of the previously dissatisfied students shouted
"Is it even possible? Is he cheating? No that's even more impossible I can't believe I just spouted such b*llshit!" another student replied before slapping himself
The Rain Deer was knocked out and returned to the monster sea when the Blackgold Python Tiger attacked it previously. The trainer could only sigh and shake his head as he felt the overwhelming difference in power between his team and Wang Tao
The Shockapillar flapped its wings wildly as a visible layer of yellow pollen like particles were spread throughout the field from its wings. Supposedly this attack is used to try and slow down the Blackgold Python Tiger which had dealt with the Rain Deer with just one attack
The Flame Monkey jumped into the air and pounced onto the Leaf Bear's shoulder, the bear held onto the monkey and stretched its arms back as far as it could before throwing the Flame Monkey like a slingshot
Whoosh*
The Flame Monkey created claws of flames on both its hands as it pointed one forward and had the other one was placed at its waist as it flew forward like a certain hero of a story in the past. The Leaf Bear then jumped into the air and bounced off a wall made of leaves and flew behind the Flame Monkey with its twin spears ready to attack
The Blackgold Python Tiger dodged the Talon of Wind's attacks before slapping it into the platform wall before turning around and wait for the two monsters to near it. Once they were near, the Blackgold Python Tiger appeared as though it were frozen in place before suddenly jump slightly into the air and did a full 360 spin in the air and dodged both attacks at once
It then grabbed the Leaf Bear with its tail by coiling around its body then slammed it into the Flame Monkey as they both came crashing down creating a spider web like crack on the platform
Roar*
It's attack didn't end there, the Blackgold Python Tiger leaped through the thin layer of pollen like it had no effect on it. Using the brute force of its powerful body, the Blackgold Python Tiger turned into a flash of golden light that blended in with the attack of the Shockapillar making it unable to determine its location
"It disappeared!" one student said
"No you idiot monsters don't just disappear how the hell did you enroll in here?" another student said with disdain
The Shockapillar felt the presence of the Blackgold Python Tiger as it was just a meter away from it. However even though it knew its foe were there, the Shockapillar couldn't react in time as the Blackgold Python Tiger slapped it
Pow*
The Shockapillar flew into the arena walls as if it were swatted like a fly. Sensing that its opponents weren't down yet, the Blackgold Python Tiger glared at the Flame Monkey that struggled to stand up on its two feet
The crowd became silent as they were rendered speechless by the Blackgold Python Tiger's overwhelming might displayed just before them. So this is a Gold Star they thought
The Flame Monkey used all of its energy to stand up and stake all of its power into a single desperate attack. By holding onto its right arm with the other, it created a fireball just as it did when the battle had first began
Whoosh*
This time, the fireball was much much larger in size and darker in color as if it had plucked a star from the very skies above and grabbed it in its palm. The floor around its feet cracked even more as pebbles and other rubble started floating in the air
The pebbles that floated started moving in a pattern as they rotated around the Flame Monkey as if the pebbles created a barrier to protect itself. The fireball only grew larger and denser as the Flame Monkey continued struggling
After waiting for over a minute, the Blackgold Python Tiger yawned as it became bored. Finally the Flame Monkey had gathered all of its energy into a single palm. The Leaf Bear that was thought to have been knocked out suddenly woke up as light returned to its pupils. Feeling the heat around it, the Leaf Bear let go of its twin spears that changed forms and started floating to the large fireball and rotated around it like the ring around Saturn
It then passed out as the Flame Monkey threw the large fireball that was over 10 meters in diameter at the Blackgold Python Tiger. The large fireball created a path of destruction as the ground beneath it was burnt into nothing. The Blackgold Python Tiger waited for the fireball to make contact with it
"What the, he's just gonna take that huge fireball?" a student asked. "That can't be, he must be waiting for the last second to do something again just like before!" another student replied. The fireball reached the Blackgold Python Tiger within 10 seconds
Boom!*
The body of the Blackgold Python Tiger became consumed within the flames. Only the sound of burning could be heard within the patch of flames in front of the Flame Monkey. The Flame Monkey puffed as it could only keep one eye open before dropping to the floor
"It's over." the owner of the Flame Monkey said. "Indeed it is." Wang Tao replied
"He just lost, why does he look so confident? Unless? No that's impossible." the Flame Monkey's trainer thought as he looked at the flames that continued burning
After a minute or so, the flames continued burning. One of the students said "Vice Peak Master it's over why haven't you announced the winner?". The Vice Peak Master looked at the flames before replying "Alright since you have said so, the winner of this match is Wang Tao!"
"What!? Can't you see that he's lost!" one of the five students shouted
"Oh really? Why not take another look?" the Vice peak master replied
All eyes were pointed at the flames that had began to die down. Suddenly, within the flames, a four legged figure with wings could be seen moving
Roar*
The Blackgold Python Tiger jumped out of the flames as it roared which dispersed the flames completely whilst revealing its unharmed body before the crowd
"What?!"
"That's.. Impossible!"
Roar*
The Flame Monkey along with the other monsters returned to the Monster Sea after exhausting all their strength. Wang Tao turned around and left the platform, heading towards the seats as the Blackgold Python Tiger returned to the Monster Sea
