How much do you want to wager?
Shen Wushuang raised an eyebrow and said indifferently.
Fang Si smiled and replied, "Not much, how about a million?"
"Fine, a million it is!"
While a million was not a large sum for the two of them, it was by no means insignificant.
Not everyone had Chen Shu's monstrous system, which allowed him to earn money through alchemy.
As the two engaged in their grand wager, the battle below in the arena had already begun.
*Goo-goo! Goo-goo!*
The Slime's massive body swayed, its eyes filled with eagerness.
It had become addicted to the feeling of crushing other creatures under its posterior, finding it hard to break free.
"Roar!"
The Lightning Ray Beast let out a roar, and a fist-sized thunderball shot from its mouth.
The thunderball was incredibly fast, like a streak of light.
The Slime's body was slow and naturally unable to dodge.
*Bang!*
The thunderball seemed to meld into the Slime's body and dissipated.
"Hmm? Paralysis effect?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Due to the lightning, the Slime was immobilized.
However, its speed was already slow, so the paralysis effect was minimal.
"I didn't want to move anyway, and now I have even less reason to."
"Roar!"
The Lightning Ray Beast stomped its thick limbs and charged forward instantly, its speed also incredibly fast.
Chen Shu was fully focused, not a hint of distraction.
In a flash, his eyes sharpened, commanding the Slime to use its Bodyguard skill.
The Slime turned a golden hue, and the paralysis effect vanished instantly.
It shook its posterior, its expression akin to constipation, and directly used its Charge skill.
*Boom boom boom!*
Its massive body charged forward, like a speeding tank, exuding an unparalleled sense of pressure.
"As expected, it has a Bodyguard-type skill!"
Wang Zi Shan's expression turned grave. He had watched yesterday's battle, where the Slime had completely ignored the Flame Roaring Tiger's control skills.
Xia Yan would likely never understand, but the experienced Wang Zi Shan immediately grasped the key.
The charging Lightning Ray Beast instantly halted its advance, staring intently at the approaching large yellow sphere.
Chen Shu grinned, "Die, little thing! Go to hell!"
However, Wang Zi Shan's expression remained unchanged.
As the two sides closed to within ten meters, the Lightning Ray Beast moved.
Its body was instantly covered by a circle of lightning, and its speed increased significantly.
With a stomp of its limbs, it moved like a streak of light, nimbly dodging the Slime's charge.
"So fast?"
Chen Shu frowned. Lightning-element contract spirits were truly troublesome.
Even with his superior prediction, he couldn't hit the Lightning Ray Beast.
It was a crushing defeat in terms of speed!
The only option now was to wait!
Wait for the Lightning Ray Beast's skill effect to end, but by then, the Slime's charge would also stop.
As expected, Wang Zi Shan did not rush either.
In a high-level duel, victory could be decided in an instant.
Wang Zi Shan spoke, "It seems you have weaknesses too."
The Slime's speed was not fast, and its attack methods were singular, relying only on Charge and its powerful sitting kill.
Once these two skills were gone, it would become a stationary target.
"You have more weaknesses."
Chen Shu did not panic and immediately commanded the Slime to use its Sleep Kill, preparing to stall for the Charge cooldown.
*Hoo hoo!*
The Slime fell into a deep sleep, and its innate talent activated, greatly boosting its defense.
The lightning circle around the Lightning Ray Beast dissipated, and its movement speed dropped significantly.
Its eyes were ferocious, and its claws glowed with a blue light, revealing another combat skill.
Wang Zi Shan was already thirty years old. Although his contract spirit had a high grade,
his beast-taming talent was too poor, causing him to be stuck at the Black Iron level beastmaster for a long time.
The requirements for a beastmaster were extremely harsh; both beast-taming talent and contract spirit grade were indispensable!
Unless you had a system, these two factors would not be important.
If a contract spirit was powerful but the beast-taming talent was lacking, it would lead to a prolonged inability to break through.
Even if Wang Zi Shan reached the Black Iron level, he would likely be forever stuck at Black Iron three stars, unable to become a Silver level beastmaster!
If the beast-taming talent was strong but the contract spirit was weak, they would become a target to be beaten.
The resources Wang Zi Shan had accumulated over the years were all used to purchase materials for the Lightning Lord, which was why he had two additional combat skills.
"Roar!"
The Lightning Ray Beast roared and charged forward again.
*Bang bang bang!*
Its claws were sharp, but they couldn't penetrate the Slime's defense, only leaving shallow wounds.
The skill, Lightning Claw, did not have a armor-piercing effect but rather a paralysis effect.
However, the Slime was already asleep, so the paralysis effect was useless against it.
"It seems your claws aren't sharp enough."
Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no armor penetration, the Slime could hold on until the Charge skill's cooldown was finished.
At the same time, the Counter Force skill took effect.
The Lightning Ray Beast, as the attacker, was the first to spit blood.
Wang Zi Shan remained silent, continuing to have the Lightning Ray Beast attack relentlessly.
"Fang Si, you're going to lose."
Shen Wushuang spoke, his gaze sharp, spotting the crucial detail.
He noticed that each time the Lightning Ray Beast attacked, it left a faint lightning mark.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Lightning Ray Beast had a finishing move that could detonate these marks, inflicting massive damage.
Skills of this nature dealt immense damage; his Ice Phoenix also had a similar skill that could detonate ice arrows embedded in an enemy.
Fang Si's expression was calm as he said, "Just watch!"
Chen Shu's expression also stiffened as he saw the faint marks, instinctively feeling something was amiss.
"Waiting for a skill?"
Chen Shu's eyes narrowed, staring intently at the arena below.
As expected, the skill effect on the Lightning Ray Beast's claws ended. It suddenly leaped back, creating distance.
"It's over!"
Wang Zi Shan's lips curled into a cold smile, "It seems you cannot break history!"
In an instant, the Lightning Ray Beast let out a low growl, and the twin horns on its head radiated a brilliant lightning glow.
The Slime's body was covered with dozens of lightning imprints, all emitting a blue glow.
Each lightning mark was like a bomb; once detonated, it would inflict heavy damage on the Slime.
Chen Shu's expression was calm, still waiting for something.
Just then, the Charge skill's cooldown was completed!
The Slime's body bounced suddenly, unleashing Charge followed by its powerful sitting kill!
But the Lightning Ray Beast's skill was also unleashed, and the lightning marks on the Slime's body seemed to be triggered.
*Boom boom boom!*
Terrifying explosions echoed within the arena!
The Slime's body was engulfed in lightning. The detonation of each lightning mark tore at its skin, spraying copious amounts of colorless blood.
However, the Slime did not stop. Instead, it used the combination of the two skills to quickly close the distance.
"It can still move?"
Wang Zi Shan was a bit bewildered. Based on his past experience, enemies struck by the lightning marks would be rendered powerless by the intense pain.
*Hoo hoo hoo~~*
The Slime endured the explosions, still emitting snoring sounds without any sign of weakness.
It was like carrying a cleaver while chopping wires, sparks flying all the way!
