Chapter 11

: First Battle After Evolution, 5th Seat of the Thunder Academy

Currently, both Yuki-onna and Katsura-no-Tsurugi are pets that need to be leveled up.

The 1v1 battle mode is clearly no longer suitable.

Xue Youyou decisively clicked on the matchmaking for a 2v2 ranked match.

[You are being matched with players of similar skill level]

[Team Verified ID: Leimingyuan Fifth Seat]

[Mature Stage Species Thunderhornosaurus]

[Mature Stage · Mechanical Type · Thunder Chariot]

Ah-gu, it turns out to be the team's verified ID.

Based on the memories of the previous incarnation, this seems to mean that the other party is an official member of the academy team.

I ran into a pro player in my very first game, that's for sure.

In Yuelan Prefecture, the Yuelan Pet Alliance holds a prefecture-wide academy league every year.

This is a pet competition that symbolizes the highest level of competition in Lanzhou, and it is known as the strongest, most youthful, and most popular.

No young beast tamer doesn't yearn to step onto this highly anticipated stage and win the crown.

However, the number of spots is limited, and each academy can only send a maximum of two teams, with a total of ten students, making the competition extremely fierce.

Furthermore, in the predecessor's memory, Lanzhi Academy made a fortune.

Every year, they get swept away in the preliminary rounds. The best result since the school was founded was only the top 16 last year, and they were eliminated in the first round as soon as they entered the main competition.

However, the team I was matched with this time, Leiming Academy, is a true powerhouse school, consistently ranking in the top eight of the league.

"Perfect, let's use her to test the knife," Xue Youyou muttered to herself with great interest.

"Boom—!"

Thunder Canyon was shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning flashing across its surface.

Two illusory figures slowly took shape.

Standing opposite Xue Youyou was a girl with short purple hair.

She was the opponent Xue Youyou was matched with, the fifth seat of Leiming Academy.

Upon seeing that the map was Thunder Canyon, the short-haired girl muttered habitually, "Another ineffective training session."

"World's First Snowflake, hehe, still a newbie noob ID."

Those who like to claim titles like "the world's number one" or "the strongest" are usually first-year students.

Thinking of this, the short purple-haired girl couldn't help but feel even more contemptuous.

In fact, as a starting member of the Thunder Academy team, she didn't take any of her opponents seriously, except for those who were matched with other members of teams from the top eight schools.

In her view, they were all colored pencils, with no difference between them.

"Her face is quite pretty, I wonder if she'll cry out in pain if I pinch it hard..." the short purple-haired girl thought somewhat frivolously.

Xue Youyou's appearance inexplicably aroused a desire in her to conquer.

"I wonder if she's interested in a stomach punch with me. I'll add her as a friend after the fight and ask her."

[Battle Begins]

"roar--!"

A short-haired purple-haired girl, the fifth seat of the Thunder Academy, with two enormous beast shadows appearing behind her.

The monitor lizard has a robust appearance, measuring six meters in length and one and a half meters in shoulder height. Its entire body is covered with thick bone armor of alternating bronze and dark gray colors. Each plate of the armor has lightning-shaped cracks, as if it were forged after being struck by lightning. It has two wings on its back.

A giant spiral horn stands atop its forehead, its tip constantly emitting blue-white electric light, while the surrounding air buzzes with static electricity.

Mature Species Thunderhorn Dragon, evolved from the rare juvenile pet "Zhenzhenbao", possesses an astonishing presence.

Several reins were tied to it, pulling a behemoth-like armored vehicle. Its four wheels crackled with electricity, and six pulse cannons were inserted diagonally on both sides. A rotating spherical lightning turret stood on the roof. It was the mature-stage mechanical-type Thunder Chariot.

Dragon-drawn chariot.

That thunderous roar just now was actually the Thunder Horned Dragon's skill - Soul-Suppressing Thunder Sound.

In 2v2 battles, it and the Thunder Chariot are definitely a powerful combination.

Most of their opponents are intimidated the moment they see them.

If you add another shout at this point, there's a good chance you can scare the opponent into surrendering.

Probably...maybe...uh...

What the hell is this thing?

The short-haired purple-haired girl, Linen, was stunned.

A gigantic girl, nine meters tall, appeared behind Xue Youyou.

She was dressed in a long robe resembling a funeral garment, and had long, snow-white hair that almost reached her ankles.

The girl's body was extremely white, with long, white hair, white eyebrows, and white eyelashes... whiter than snowflakes.

This breathtaking whiteness has no eeriness whatsoever; instead, it reveals an exquisite beauty.

The snow woman remained expressionless, leaning on her sword.

Just standing still was enough to make the Thunder Horned Dragon break out in a cold sweat.

Compared to the Snow Woman, it and the Thunder Chariot looked like a husky and a toy car driven by a little baby.

Clearly, the Soul-Suppressing Thunder Sound from before had been automatically ignored by the other party, who treated it like a dog barking.

"This is a mature-stage pet?!"

The short purple-haired girl suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Are the Yuki-onna race really that big?

Its body was even larger than that of her Thunder Horned Dragon, which possessed dragon blood.

Judging by appearance, this mature Yuki-onna is almost the same size as a fully-formed pet beast.

The size difference between the two sides made her feel a little intimidated, to be honest.

Fortunately, as the fifth seat of the Thunder Academy, he was a veteran of countless battles.

They won't lose their composure like ordinary beast tamers.

The short purple-haired girl quickly calmed down.

"If the other side were truly capable, they wouldn't lack even the academy's team certification; they're probably all bark and no bite."

"Heh, how embarrassing, I was almost scared by her."

"Besides, this is Thunder Canyon, which is my home turf!"

After a moment of rational analysis, the short-haired purple girl immediately hid inside the Thunder Chariot.

He then ordered the Thunder Horned Dragon to fly into the air and create distance between itself and the Snow Woman.

The Snow Woman remained motionless, simply watching as the Thunder Horned Dragon pulled the chariot further and further away.

Only when the two sides had created a safe distance did the short-haired purple-haired girl stop the Thunder Horned Dragon.

She was confident that the snow woman couldn't hit them from this distance, while they possessed extremely long-range precision strike capabilities.

They are now in an invincible position!

"Thunder Chariot, Waveguide Positioning! Shared Vision!"

"Thunder Horned Dragon, Summon Thunder!"

"Thunder Chariot, Thunder Ray!"

Upon receiving its master's command, the spherical lightning turret on the roof of the Thunder Chariot emitted pale blue ripples and quickly and accurately located the Snow Maiden's position.

The energy of the six pulse cannons on both sides of the vehicle body converges, ready to be unleashed.

Meanwhile, through the shared vision of the Thunder Chariot, the Thunder Horned Dragon also obtained the location of the Snow Woman.

The giant horn on its forehead shone brightly, and the blue-white electric light attached to it gradually intensified.

The Snow Woman sensed something and looked up.

Above her head, large dark clouds gathered, with lightning flashing intermittently, as if brewing some ultimate move.

The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive, as if a storm was brewing.

"Well……"

Sensing what was about to happen, the Snow Woman quickly grabbed Snow Fairy and put her directly into her mouth.

next second.

"boom--!"

The Thunder Horned Dragon's lightning summoning spell and the Thunder Chariot's lightning rays erupted simultaneously, crossing each other.

The terrifying lightning directly engulfed the snow woman.
