"Lightning attribute! This is a lightning-attribute Sword Guard!"
"How is that possible! The compatibility difference between Sword Guards and the lightning attribute is so huge, how could there be a lightning-attribute Sword Guard!"
"They must have used some special item!"
As Lu Fei's opponent in this battle, the examiner Man Shan was also somewhat shocked. Lei Mang was his idol, and as a junior, he had also cultivated a group of agile contract beasts that didn't match his physique, especially lightning-attribute contract beasts, which were his favorite.
However, even though he was very familiar with lightning-attribute contract beasts, this was the first time he had encountered a lightning-attribute Sword Guard!
Man Shan silently calculated in his mind.
"Even if it's lightning attribute, it's just barely touching it, it definitely won't have much power!"
"Senior Man Shan! Be careful!"
A loud shout was heard.
Whoosh!
A dull roar of thunder suddenly sounded.
The temperature of the surrounding air began to rise sharply!
The spectators near the arena couldn't help but retreat. Then, they were suddenly astonished to find that the beast-taming arena was already filled with golden arcs of lightning!
Threads of lightning intertwined on the beast-tamer's arena.
In the blink of an eye.
It had already densely covered the entire beast-taming arena!
"Wh-what's going on?"
"Is this a skill of that contract beast?"
"No way, can a contract beast at level forty-something unleash a skill of such a wide range?"
Looking into the arena.
The entire beast-taming arena was almost submerged by lightning!
Everyone had to widen their eyes to barely make out the situation within.
Suddenly, Man Shan burst into laughter.
"Heh heh, you actually delusionally want to defeat a lightning-attribute contract beast with lightning-attribute attacks? Didn't your homeroom teacher tell you that lightning-attribute skills are only absorbed by lightning-attribute contract beasts, increasing the power of their skills!"
"Besides, even if your Sword Guard has the lightning attribute, so what? Do you think the purity of lightning in a half-baked contract beast can surpass that of an innate lightning-attribute contract beast?"
"Hahaha! Truly overestimating yourself!"
Facing Man Shan's mockery, Lu Fei remained unfazed.
He naturally knew this principle. After nearly a year of training by the drunkard, Lu Fei had learned more in beast taming combat and theory than any academy could teach.
Lightning-attribute contract beasts could indeed nullify some lightning-attribute attacks, but it wasn't absolute!
Man Shan roared:
"【Thundercloud Leopard】! Ignore these bluffing things! Charge through the lightning!"
"Roar!"
The 【Thundercloud Leopard】 roared to the sky and charged fiercely towards Iron Head!
However, as soon as it entered the lightning network, the 【Thundercloud Leopard】 suddenly stopped, not daring to advance a step further!
Because the lightning contained not just lightning! But also swords!!!
Countless lightning bolts had transformed into countless swords! Swords made of lightning!
As the terrifying lightning descended, even the charging steps of the naturally lightning-attribute contract beast, the 【Thundercloud Leopard】, had to halt.
It showed a primal fear towards the swords transformed from lightning power before its eyes!
Suddenly, a figure flashed past it!
"How is this possible!?"
Man Shan's eyes widened immediately.
His face was filled with disbelief.
This 【Thundercloud Leopard】 had already reached level 65! Even if it was nurtured by the academy, its speed, with the lightning enhancement, shouldn't be this much slower than the opponent!
In just a moment!
The 【Thundercloud Leopard】 was already surrounded by swords conjured from lightning!
Man Shan roared again, "【Thundercloud Leopard】! These swords are all lightning elemental attacks! Don't be afraid!"
The 【Thundercloud Leopard】 received the command from its temporary beast tamer and was about to act when it heard a lazy voice.
"Student Man Shan, if this leopard moves again, its body will be turned into pieces of minced meat."
Man Shan's expression turned serious, "Are you trying to bluff me?"
Lu Fei smiled, "Senior Man Shan, Sword Guards wield their swords first, then play with lightning, so do you think its sword techniques would be fake?"
"I've simply combined lightning with sword techniques. This is not a pure elemental attack, but an attack that combines elements with physics!"
Lu Fei wasn't bluffing Man Shan. This was the latest original skill comprehended by Iron Head. After reaching level 40, its unstable evolution talent awakened again, bestowing Iron Head with two heaven-defying skills, one of which was the 【Lightning Sword Heaven Net】 that it was currently using!
This was a unique-level skill that perfectly combined physical attacks with elemental attacks, perfectly blending Iron Head's attribute damage!
Man Shan did not impulsively attack as he verbally suggested. He wasn't worried that the 【Thundercloud Leopard】 would be chopped into minced meat as the opponent claimed, but rather he was concerned about how embarrassing it would be if he lost!
For a moment.
Man Shan felt a dreamlike absurdity.
This was too unbelievable!
At this moment, the surrounding spectators gradually began to react.
"This Sword Guard has completely suppressed the level 65 【Thundercloud Leopard】! And that's Senior Man Shan controlling it!"
"Did this Lu Fei hide his strength??"
"No way?"
"Is there any other explanation?"
"But he didn't tame this Sword Guard last year! I heard he has a good relationship with the dean, did the dean give him this Sword Guard?"
"Why even ask, it must be!"
A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd.
Everyone stared at Lu Fei with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
It was already quite astonishing for a second-year freshman to possess a lightning-attribute Sword Guard.
Lu Fei himself was already a rising star being discussed throughout the academy.
Even many people outside the academy had heard of his deeds.
After this battle today, people would likely no longer discuss his reputation as a commoner fighter, but marvel at his monstrous strength!
This was no less than a bombshell, instantly stunning them, leaving them unable to recover for a long time.
For a moment.
The watching crowd was plunged into profound shock, sitting in their seats with dazed expressions, speechless for a long time.
Only the crackling sound of thunder remained in the vast beast-taming arena.
"I don't believe it!"
Suddenly, Man Shan roared, "【Thundercloud Leopard】! Kill your way out!"
Man Shan's pupils lit up, and the 【Thundercloud Leopard】 also seemed to receive a signal, its body shining with golden light!
"Man Shan, don't be rash!" Lei Mang had just spoken.
Crack!
The 【Thundercloud Leopard】, which had just rushed out of the lightning net, suddenly stopped and remained motionless!
Not long after, the 【Thundercloud Leopard】's body began to crack like a shattered vase, its once-intact body splitting into pieces!
Ultimately, it turned into countless small pieces of flesh that fell to the ground, dead beyond salvation!
The air suddenly fell silent!
A deathly silence!
