As the rain washed over the battlefield, the scene instantly beca clear.
A trendous force erupted from the ground.
Lubao, who had just finished casting Rain Prayer, had no ti to react before being blasted away by the force.
The rolling Touyan Ke seed to be waiting for this mont, it suddenly accelerated, leaping into the air and charging upward toward Lubao from below.
Just as it was about to collide with Lubao, barely a centiter away, a flash of fire streaked through the air, Lubao disappeared.
"Tou Tou."
Touyan Ke landed on the ground, lifted its head, and saw Yabao, who had grabbed Lubao and was swiftly moving away.
Lubao endured the pain and took the opportunity to cast Healing Light.
A blue glow radiated from the gem on her forehead.
"Knock it down." Qiu Zhuo ordered, gazing at Ice Xilu, who was casting Healing Light in mid-air.
"Sandstorm!"
The Sandstorm Armor Beast lifted its left foreleg high and suddenly stomped down.
The ground cracked, and countless rocks, seemingly defying gravity, levitated into the air before shooting toward Lubao’s location.
Lubao opened her eyes, the blue glow dissipating, and jumped downward without hesitation, vanishing into the rain.
Almost simultaneously, Yabao teleported away.
The rocks missed their target. Having lost their aim, they soon fell to the ground.
Hiding in the rain using its lting Water trait, huh… Qiu Zhuo silently nodded in approval.
Not bad, full marks for evasion.

anwhile, on Blue Star.
At Central Hollow University, three examiners watched the virtual screen and nodded in agreent.
"Blazing Star Canine and Ice 4 are coordinating well. Normally, Blazing Star Canine fights aggressively, but this ti, it split its focus to protect Ice Xilu and reacted in ti. It shows a strong sense of teamwork."
"And their synergy is impressive. That evasive maneuver just now was executed perfectly, almost as if they had planned it in advance."
"Well… I think it was just Blazing Star Canine's quick reflexes. If it hadn’t teleported in ti, it would have taken the hit instead."
"It’s about their coordination. If Blazing Star Canine didn’t know Ice Xilu would use lting Water to evade, its usual combat style would have been to attack for protection instead."
"Good point…"
---
On Chaosu Star.
Open-air training ground.
A chance… Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.
Now that Lubao was hidden, the opponent would have to allocate so attention to her, and Yabao wouldn’t need to split his focus anymore.
"Take down the weak one first!" Qiao Sang called out.
Hearing the command, Qiu Zhuo imdiately responded,
"Tou Tou! Move!"
…Wait, does it not have a na? Why call it the 'weak one'…?
Touyan Ke grumbled but started rolling again.
Yabao teleported to the ground and forcefully stomped.
The ground cracked apart, and flas erupted.
At the sa ti, the Sandstorm Armor Beast charged forward through the drizzle.
Blazing Star Canine's Hellfire wasn’t fully mastered, it would damage Touyan Ke but not Sandstorm Armor Beast. With its Sandstorm trait, Sandstorm Armor Beast could run through fire unscathed. More importantly, the rain weakened Blazing Star Canine's attack power… Qiu Zhuo glanced at the cloudy sky.
Most Beast Tars in double battles send out complentary pets.
Yet, Qiao Sang had deliberately chosen two pets that countered each other in attributes.
If it were another examinee, he’d understand, Special Exam candidates typically had only three contracted pets, with the third one being newly acquired before the exam, making it the weakest. They had no choice but to use the first two.
But Qiao Sang had three high-level pets besides the newly contracted Steel Falcon. Any pairing seed more logical than Blazing Star Canine and Ice Xilu.
Just as Qiu Zhuo had this thought, the ground beneath Sandstorm Armor Beast suddenly froze over with a thin layer of ice.
"Sandstorm!"
The charging Sandstorm Armor Beast slipped, its montum breaking, its steps faltering as it skidded from side to side.
Qiu Zhuo snapped back to focus. He glanced at Ice Xilu, which had reappeared from the rain, and quickly commanded,
"Stomp harder!"
"Sandstorm!"
The Sandstorm Armor Beast obeyed, forcefully stomping with its left foreleg. The ice shattered, and its foot sunk into the ground, stabilizing its stance.
anwhile, while Sandstorm Armor Beast struggled to regain balance, Yabao successfully unleashed Hellfire.
Flas erupted from the ground, pursuing the rapidly rolling Touyan Ke.
The explosion of Hellfire spread much faster than Touyan Ke’s rolling speed.
Flas engulfed Touyan Ke from below, the blast sending it flying into the air.
At its highest point, Yabao suddenly appeared beside it.
A fire-forged Blazing Star Canine head bit down rcilessly.
"Tou Tou!"
Touyan Ke let out a miserable cry and crashed to the ground.
Flas erupted beneath it once more.
Touyan Ke was sent flying again before rolling a few ters and losing consciousness.
Tang Yi, watching from the sidelines, was filled with excitent.
He hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to take the upper hand in the doubles test by eliminating one of the examiner’s pets first!
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure waved his arms excitedly, cheering.
If anyone could understand, they’d know he was shouting, Big bro Yabao! Third sis Lubao!
I didn’t expect Blazing Star Canine and Ice Xilu to sync so well…
Qiu Zhuo took a deep breath and recalled the unconscious Touyan Ke into his Beast Codex.
He gazed at the battlefield, his pupils constricting in shock.
Above the field, one half rained, the other was clear.
On the ground, one half was frozen, the other burned with flas.
Ice Xilu had reduced the rain’s range, keeping it away from Blazing Star Canine's position while it cast Hellfire!
Brilliant… Qiu Zhuo silently admired.
He had never expected such a scenario.
He originally thought Ice Xilu was a healer, mainly providing support while Blazing Star Canine fought and protected it.
But now, it was clear that neither could do without the other. They functioned as a true team.
Just based on that performance, Qiao Sang deserved a perfect score for this doubles test.
But…
Qiu Zhuo’s eyes flickered.
He wanted to see just how far Qiao Sang’s limits could go!
"Little Sand!" Qiu Zhuo shouted.
"Sandstorm!"
Sandstorm Armor Beast roared, its imnse aura surging outward.
Sand and gravel whirled into the air.
It lifted its free foot and stomped down hard.
The ice-covered battlefield cracked apart like a spiderweb, shattered.
