The Demonic Wolf dodged the swipes and retreated to a distance. It then charged forward toward the Demonic Gorilla and when it was close enough, it feinted to the left, then leaped high, raking its claws across the gorilla's chest, leaving deep gashes.
The gorilla roared in pain and fury. The gorilla received a new instruction from its tar and quickly grabbed a nearby tree and swung it like a club.
Noticing an opening due to the wide swing, the wolf managed to get behind the gorilla and sunk its fangs into its shoulder. The Demonic Gorilla, as if expecting this situation, imdiately let go of the tree, reached its back, and grabbed the wolf, slamming it into the ground with trendous force. The gorilla's beast tar cheered loudly implying that his tactic worked.
After getting slamd to the ground multiple tis, the wolf finally managed to struggle away from the gorilla's grip and escaped to a safe distance again.
"Wolfy, use that move!" The wolf's beast tar didn't communicate ntally anymore, he ordered loudly.
The wolf started sprinting at a high speed around the gorilla, leaving behind multiple afterimages. The gorilla tried to keep up with the wolf's movents but after a few seconds, it felt dizzy due to the loss of blood from its wound.
"Now!" The wolf's tar shouted.
The Demonic Wolf shot toward the dizzy gorilla, this ti, sinking its fangs into the gorilla's neck.
"I surrender!" The gorilla's beast tar knew if the fight continued, his spirit beast would die, so he admitted defeat.
The first match ended with the Demonic Wolf's win. The demonic beasts' injuries were imdiately treated by their tars.
After the battle ended, a small part of the huge arena was torn asunder by the two demonic beasts clash. Trees are uprooted, rocks are shattered, and the ground is churned into a muddy battlefield.
Leyvi really impressed by the fight between the two demonic beasts. Once again, he felt like he had underestimated other cultivators' dedication and the effort they put into their passion. Looking back, most of the ti, his spirit beasts were just enjoying life and he had never trained with them to fight as a team.
Sure, Scarlet and Mr. Bison might be getting stronger and could fight on their own, but if he were to call himself a beast tar, he had to learn to fight together with them or he would be looking down on other beast tars too much. It would be disrespectful to the advantage he had over them.
While Leyvi was lost in thought, the ssy arena quickly reverted back to its original state. Everything was exactly the sa as when the fight hadn't started yet. The rocks, the pebbles, the trees, the ground, the grass, everything was reverted. Even the blood and damage done to the arena was gone.
"Huh?" Leyvi confused.
Was it an illusion? Was the arena under so sort of illusion formation? No no...If it was an illusion, that would beat the point of having this tournant in the first place since every match can be faked like that. If everything was real....then....the only possible explanation for that.....Was that ti reversal? Holy! Who made this formation? Wasn't that too heaven-defying? Can it revive the dead too?
Two matches later, Leyvi got his answer. A spirit beast died in the battle and it was brought away by its tar sorrowfully. Due to his stubbornness, he refused to admit defeat quickly, which cost his spirit beast's life. The formation couldn't revive the dead. From Leyvi's observation, they waited until the arena was empty before they reverted it back to its original state. In addition, Leyvi also noticed that the trees and grasses in the arena were all fake.
Leyvi concluded that ti reversal was only limited to the pre-determined inanimate objects in the arena because the blood, furs, broken fangs, or nails, all the inanimate things not originally from the arena disappeared after the reset. Although it was not as heaven-defying as he initially thought, it was still very mind-blowing to Leyvi. Leyvi wondered if whoever invented this formation had an insight into the Dao of ti or found a ti-related treasure.
Each match didn't take very long, the longest match so far took 11 minutes max. It was now the 24th match of the first round.
"The arena is ready, it's ti for our next match. Beast Tar Leyvi Leyan, Beast Tar The Last Hairbender, please enter the arena!" The announcer called for the next participants.
Leyvi chuckled when he heard the nickna thinking his opponent might be a funny person. Leyvi realized in the second match that he didn't need to use his real na when he registered. If he knew earlier he would use a nickna too. For example, his nickna would be Panda Lover, Gardener's Husband, or The Fountain Receiver.
He quickly leaped onto the stage and saw his opponent on the other side. Leyvi was imdiately speechless when he saw her. She lived up to her na as The Last Hairbender. A short woman wearing a cute-looking mask was using her Qi to control her hair making it float and wiggle continuously on above her head.
Is this her strategy to distract him? Unfortunately for her, he still hasn't practiced any team battle coordination or tactics with his spirit beasts, so all the fighting depended on their personal experiences.
"Go, Scarlet!" Leyvi threw his spirit beast bag on the ground and Scarlet erged from it.
"..........."
"..........."
Leyvi awkwardly walked toward his spirit beast bag, picked it up, and returned to the beast tar spot.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The audience laughed at the cody they just witnessed. On one side they had a weird hair girl, while on the other side, they had a goofy guy participating. Lilian, Layla, Hana, and Sayu had red faces feeling secondhand embarrassnt. Although they were familiar with Leyvi's goofiness, they didn't expect him to act goofy right now.
Why did I throw my spirit beast bag? Weird. Leyvi was embarrassed by his unprecedented action. He put up a poker face and seed unfazed by the laugh around the coliseum.
"Pfttttt....Hahahahahaha! Dammit...I'm not supposed to laugh at this! Hahaha!" The Last Hairbender was on her knees, laughing hard. Her hair wiggles matched the rhythm of her laugh. She was supposed to be the one distracting her opponent's focus not the other way around.
A while later, she stopped laughing and stood again dusting off the dirt on her knees. She carefully observed her opponent's face who was unfazed by the laughter directed at him. She used her ntal connection and summoned her spirit beast to the arena.
"Hmm? A Demonic Stag Beetle. Interesting." Leyvi talked to himself.
"Since both spirit beasts are in the arena, let the 24th match begin!" The announcer declared.
The Demonic Stag Beetle with its iridescent carapace shimring in hues of erald and sapphire, imdiately climbed atop a moss-covered rock. Its formidable mandibles clicked together, creating tal-clashing sounds as it waited for Scarlet to make the first move.
Scarlet, however, didn't make the first move. She just bounded leisurely, circling the stag beetle on the rock for multiple laps, clearly taunting it.
The taunt was successful. The annoyed stag beetle launched its attack first, as it forgot the instruction from its tar. With a fast movent, it charged toward the Demonic Red Fox, as its mandibles aid for the body, snapping like thunder. But Scarlet was agile and cunning. With a fluid movent, she dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the piercing grasp of the beetle's formidable jaws.
Undeterred, the stag beetle pivoted, its armored exoskeleton reflecting the rays of sunlight. It lunged again, this ti attempting to clamp down on Scarlet's hind leg. Unfortunately, she was quicker, as she leaped into the air, shrunk instantly, and landed on the stag beetle flat upper head. Scarlet's action thoroughly enraged the Demonic Stag Beetle.
It started flinging its head around aggressively trying to shake her off its head but Scarlet impressively maintained her balance on its head.
"Staggy! Calm down! Listen to !" The Last Hairbender frantically tried to reestablish the ntal connection with her spirit beast but it was too absorbed in its anger at the mont to listen.
The stag beetle ramd its head onto multiple rocks, destroying them, in an attempt to get Scarlet off its head but each ti, Scarlet gracefully hopped and landed on its head again once the rock crumbled.
Due to this, it hurt itself in its confusion.
In the end, the stag beetle in a state of confusion, moved aimlessly toward a pond where it fell into it. Scarlet quickly jumped off the stag beetle and landed near the pond, watching the stag beetle slowly drown.
"Leyvi Leyan wins!" The announcer declared the winner.
The Last Hairbender quickly flew to the pond and rescued her drowning spirit beast. Unlike the other bloody matches, this battle ended quite interestingly.
From the beginning to the end, Leyvi didn't do anything. He was like a spectator instead of a beast tar.
"Hahaha! Scarlet, I didn't expect you to fight so elegantly. Smart and beautiful!" Leyvi praised.
Scarlet returned to Leyvi looking proud.
"Of course Boss, I'm not just a damsel in distress you know. The situation when you found
was just.... a series of unfortunate events and circumstances. Yup!" Scarlet said.
