"Whoo~~~"
As the poison flowed, an ethereal voice emitted while a faint glow radiated from Milotic's body. The poison approaching it was immediately expelled and purified, as if its vicinity had become an impenetrable forbidden zone.
But at this moment, Sting Jellyfish had already unleashed its next move under Li Shu's command!
All 80 of its tentacles flung about, rapidly inserting into its own body. In an instant, Sting Jellyfish's figure looked as if it had countless veins bulging...
"Inherited Acupoint Technique, self-acupuncture through 80 tentacles to stimulate the body's potential..."
Witnessing Sting Jellyfish's transformation, the professional examiners took note, commending that on this one technique alone, the Sting Jellyfish had secured a place in the professional field.
"That Milotic is in danger..."
From the exchange of Water Gun and Surf, everyone could see that Milotic's combat ability seemed weaker than Sting Jellyfish's.
Now that Sting Jellyfish had enhanced itself through a special acupoint technique, the pressure on Milotic was likely to increase...
Xu Jing and Jiang Ran were silent.
If it were they who had to battle this Sting Jellyfish, it wouldn't have been too troublesome, but Fang Yuan's situation didn't look too good...
"What do you plan to do now...?"
...
"Looks like it's going to be another drawn-out fight," Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Although Milotic very much disliked such a mode of combat, facing a stronger opponent, they had no other option but to engage in a war of attrition if they wanted to win.
By utilizing its Super Healing Physique, they could wage a prolonged battle. After all, Milotic was meant to play a supportive role.
A combative healer was not to be underestimated for strength lies beyond what meets the eye.
Fang Yuan didn't believe the opponent could maintain the state induced by the acupoint technique for long, having just stimulated its body's potential to gain formidable combat power.
"Whirlpool!"
Hum!!
Milotic gyrated, executing Dragon Dance.
Because of Dragon Dance, the surrounding airflow coalesced quicker, and Milotic whipped up a more intense Twister, shaking the pool.
Twister boosted Whirlpool, reinforcing it again, and three consecutive moves were skillfully synchronized. In an instant, Milotic created a massive whirlpool.
"This..." Seeing the pool shallowing under this move, Li Shu's expression changed.
In a hundred days' time, the only attack technique Milotic had practiced was Water Tornado.
This move was both offensive and defensive, especially in terms of defensive power, it had reached the point where it could ignore Monferno's Rage and withstand Thunder Punch. Of course, that was only for a single hit—if faced with Monferno's barrage, Water Tornado was still not perfect.
Even so, it was quite an adept combination move.
With this move, Milotic should be able to inflict damage on Sting Jellyfish.
Now, what Milotic was doing was transforming its defensive power into offensive force.
Boom!
The Water Tornado surged upward, the rising water flow gradually gathering into a huge water dragon, whose teeth under high-speed rotation vibrated like high-pressure water jets...
Water Tornado, Water Dragon Bite Burst!
Whoosh!
Sting Jellyfish launched Quick Freeze Beam, but just as it began freezing a part of the dragon's head, the frost was shattered by the water flow.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Sting Jellyfish waved its tentacles in defense.
Regrettably, the water dragon tornado's overwhelming downward surge was too powerful; the tentacles were instantly bent, and the waves smashed Sting Jellyfish to the bottom of the pool, splashing large waves.
"Incredible..." Milotic's move earned praise from many.
However, being of the Water Series as well, Sting Jellyfish was clearly not so easy to deal with.
Once more, it briskly moved its tentacles for acupoint hits, relaxing its tendons and numbing its pain. Sting Jellyfish regained composure quicker than Milotic, which was still in a cooldown state after producing the water tornado.
Zip!
Several tentacles extended, carrying a chilling purple glow. Venom Strike was deployed!
The Water Tornado move was indeed powerful, yet limited by Milotic's strength, it wasn't perfect. Its side effects were nearly as severe as Destruction Dead Light; after execution, Milotic needed a moment to recover, which provided Sting Jellyfish an opportunity to exploit.
Bang!
The moment its toxin-filled tentacle touched Milotic, Sting Jellyfish's expression changed in shock.
80% of the poison was cleansed by Mysterious Guard, leaving 20% that managed to invade Milotic's body through a wound, but Milotic easily replaced the poisoned cells via Self-Regeneration.
Milotic blew out a chill breath, fully recovering.
Subsequently, wrapped in Water Ring automatically, even the wounds pierced by Venom Strike disappeared.
Whilst not quite skilled, merely a beginner in this discipline, Milotic had already adopted a battle style that allowed for continuous rapid Self-Regeneration of injuries the moment it was harmed, without hindering its attack rhythm.
"Do it again," Fang Yuan said.
The instant Sting Jellyfish's tentacles retracted, Milotic's blow of Icy Wind had frostbitten the opponent's tentacles, and Fang Yuan issued an instruction to press the attack.
"So that's how it is."
It was then that the examiners realized that this Milotic was raised primarily focusing on Healing type moves.
This piece of information... was not good news for Sting Jellyfish and Li Shu.
Li Shu's expression turned grave in response, but as per Fang Yuan's directions, Milotic's assault became increasingly rapid.
Four minutes later, Sting Jellyfish's advantage turned into a disadvantage; due to excessive acupoint hits, its condition deteriorated, leading to its gradual wear down by Milotic.
"That'll do..." In the spectator stands, Hao Feng watched Fang Yuan's battle and clapped, appreciating it. No wonder Fang Yuan knew those two girls; his strength was not to be taken lightly either.
