This water was not simply water in the real world, but something that transcended the usual laws of reality.
Just like the water coating the pincers of the [Ice Beast], if a piece of paper were dipped into it, the paper would become wet as if it had truly been pulled from water.
All effects that water could, or could not, cause in reality would be manifested.
However, to materialize water required the consumption of a great deal of power, or an increase in the level of water control.
Some researchers believed this was a power of the mind, a mental force that influenced this world, making the world perceive that there should be water here, or fire there, and thus it was materialized.
But this theory had not been accepted because abilities were incredibly varied, not limited to controlling supernatural elements, but encompassing many more strange powers. A simple psychological suggestion was too narrow a view.
Although Tie Tou Wa had not reached the level of awakened power, its diligence was its greatest talent. With astonishing willpower, it achieved breakthrough progress between its physical and elemental attacks.
"Whoosh!" The wind was torn apart as Tie Tou Wa sprinted forward madly.
It stomped its thigh and leaped into the sky.
The broken sword was raised high, like a god unleashing lightning!
*Swish!* The thick, massive tail of the [Ice Beast] lashed out like a whip from behind.
It whistled violently through the air, and Tie Tou Wa was struck by this tail whip.
The ribs on its chest caved inward, emitting a pained groan of being unable to bear the load, but it ultimately stabilized itself.
Tie Tou Wa opened its massive mouth and bit down fiercely.
Juice splashed!
Then, it grabbed the tail tightly with both hands and landed with the momentum. Because this leap had used its full strength, Tie Tou Wa landed directly behind the [Ice Beast] upon impact.
With its arms clamped tightly around the [Ice Beast]'s tail, it spun 180 degrees, its entire skeleton crackling.
The [Tie Tou Wa] was forcibly dragged and flung into the air.
It was thrown down with all twelve claws facing the sky.
Tie Tou Wa charged forward and began to strike the [Ice Beast]'s flank madly.
Accompanied by dull thudding sounds.
The weaker shell on the [Ice Beast]'s flank caved inward, shattering, revealing the tender white muscle beneath.
Azure blue blood splattered outwards from the pierced wounds!
The cries of agony grew weaker, and the force of its struggles continuously diminished.
Finally, the Ice Beast lay on the ground, on the verge of death.
In a flash, the battle was over! It didn't even give Lei Mang any opportunity to adjust his tactics!
Everyone present was stunned. As the undisputed strongest team in the Cang Town Beast Taming Academy, Bai Qianqian possessed her own pride and arrogance. But at this moment, her astonishment was immeasurable, to the point where she couldn't utter a single word.
In their previous battles, whether it was herself, Zhou Tao, or Li Mo, all of them had lost. But Lu Fei before them?
She vaguely recalled the day this young man was beaten to a pulp by Zhou Tao's sister. Back then, he didn't even have a decent contracted beast, and even when beaten to the brink of death, he didn't resist much.
Yet today, this same young man had defeated Lei Mang and Man Shan, whom they themselves couldn't defeat?
If defeating Man Shan was a stroke of luck or a surprise attack, then this battle with Lei Mang, they had watched clearly. That Sword Guard could charge into the ice-covered areas without fear of death!
What kind of Beast Tamer could nurture their contracted beast to such an extent!
On the beast taming field, Lei Mang gritted his teeth. At this moment, he also hadn't fully processed it.
Since graduating from the Beast Taming Academy, he had embarked on his graduation travels. Over the years, he had encountered many kinds of opponents, but no opponent had been as troublesome as the young man before him. To be precise, this young man played completely outside the rulebook.
During battles, he always used tactics that harmed both sides, often launching relentless attacks without giving himself any chance to counter. Such an opponent was truly terrifying.
"Senior, I won," Lu Fei said with a grin.
Lei Mang stared at Lu Fei, hesitating for a long time before silently nodding.
"You won."
"But please tell me honestly, does your Sword Guard have hidden strength?"
This was Lei Mang's last resort. If he heard a 'yes' from the other party, perhaps his heart would feel a little better.
Lu Fei replied truthfully.
"No, Tie Tou Wa is level 43 now, there's no deception."
Lei Mang took a deep breath.
"I understand."
Suddenly, a rough voice rang out.
"Wait! Your beast taming methods violate national standard beast taming combat. I challenge you to a national standard match!"
The speaker was naturally Man Shan.
Lu Fei glanced at him, finding it somewhat amusing, "Senior, how does my playstyle violate national standards?"
Man Shan snorted coldly, "Your beast taming methods were clearly aimed at killing the contracted beasts. Such cruel tactics, how can they be done by a student!"
Lu Fei was slightly taken aback, then he chuckled. He hadn't expected this seemingly crude brute to have such a delicate heart.
"Firstly, there's no rule stating this combat must be restricted in its methods. Secondly, beast taming combat is inherently a brutal life-or-death struggle." Lu Fei leaned in and retorted, "Senior, you haven't even killed a contracted beast, have you?"
"You!"
Man Shan trembled with anger, "Contracted beasts and humans coexist, of course, they cannot be killed!"
Lu Fei smiled, "That's right, contracted beasts indeed cannot be killed. But to tell you the truth, during this period, I have killed quite a few berserk contracted beasts on Forget Worry Grassland."
"Compared to you, Senior, who nurtures contracted beasts in a hothouse, I believe contracted beasts truly forged and trained in the crucible of battle are much more powerful, wouldn't you agree?"
"Boasting!"
Man Shan scoffed dismissively.
Lu Fei shrugged, too lazy to argue with him.
"Alright, stop arguing," Lei Mang interjected, exhaling deeply and smiling with resignation, "Since Junior Lu Fei has defeated both of us, according to our agreement, he naturally earns a spot to participate in the academy competition. I will inform the dean of this matter shortly."
Lu Fei nodded contentedly, his good impression of Lei Mang increasing. At least the man was willing to admit defeat.
