Just as Li Zeyu was about to disengage from combat with his Mutated Blue Feather Eagle.

Guoguo, who was relatively more impatient, cried out, jumping up and down, unable to wait any longer. She wanted to hit that annoying big bird with a powerful Bomb Fruit.

If he could dodge Lin Chuan’s slingshot Poison Powder and pebbles, could he also dodge a Bomb Fruit?

Even if it wasn't a direct hit, the aftermath of the explosion alone would be enough to knock over that annoying big bird, causing the person riding it, who dared to shoot his master with a crossbow, to fall from the Eagle on the spot.

Through the bond, Lin Chuan felt Guoguo’s impatience.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Chuan sent a thought to Guoguo: "Relax, don't be impulsive, don't act recklessly."

Taking advantage of the moment when Li Zeyu was disengaging and couldn't pay attention here, he raised his hand and ruffled Guoguo’s small head.

The transmission of emotion and the comforting act of patting her head.

Only then did Lin Chuan manage to calm Guoguo down again, suppressing Guoguo’s urge to use a Bomb Fruit to deliver an artistic strike to Li Zeyu.

Compared to Guoguo’s impatience, while Sakura also had a certain degree of emotional fluctuation from impatience, she appeared much calmer overall, without obvious outward signs.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Chuan gazed at the mid-air about 200 meters away.

At this moment, Li Zeyu was fully utilizing his Beast Master talent—"Acceleration."

Wisps of faint, elegantly colored cyan light, like flowing water, continuously streamed from his palm and rapidly merged into the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle’s body.

The cyan light, like a soft veil, gradually covered the entire body of the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle, emanating a mysterious aura.

The Mutated Blue Feather Eagle circled in the air.

With each circle, its speed visibly increased.

Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

Li Zeyu has a Beast Master talent, doesn't he?

Reincarnation goes without saying; it's a cheat, and it can't be used in combat.

What he was referring to here was the second-tier Spiritual Wood Heart.

Although the greatest utility of the Spiritual Wood Heart was in daily cultivation, it could also exert a slight effect in combat, strengthening Wood Attribute and Illusion Attribute skills.

At this moment, Lin Chuan spared no stamina, simultaneously empowering Guoguo and Sakura with the second-tier Spiritual Wood Heart.

Under the empowerment of the Spiritual Wood Heart, Guoguo and Sakura jointly activated their shields.

Sakura’s Expert Grade Vine Armor Shield.

Rows of umbrella-shaped Vine Armor Shield walls rose from the ground, interweaving and connecting to form a net-like Vine Armor Shield covering a ten-meter radius with Lin Chuan at its center.

Guoguo’s Proficient Grade Vine Armor Shield stacked behind the shield walls, filling in the gaps.

In a short while.

Centered on Lin Chuan, a huge Vine Armor Shield formation, densely packed yet with an inexplicable regularity amidst the chaos, was formed.

The Vine Armor Shield formation was not airtight; it left enough gaps for Lin Chuan to move, dodge, and use his slingshot to attack.

But for a creature of the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle’s size, it absolutely could not enter.

By the time Lin Chuan completed the construction of the shield formation, Li Zeyu had already used Acceleration to raise the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle’s speed to the limit of its physical body at that moment.

Lin Chuan could no longer track its movements with his naked eye.

He would just fix his gaze on it here, and in the blink of an eye, it would appear on the other side.

Even Li Zeyu, who was riding on its back, was not at ease at this time.

Not to mention shooting a few crossbow bolts at Lin Chuan like before, at this moment, he couldn't even sit upright; he had to press himself tightly against the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle’s back, gripping the ropes of the riding gear on the Blue Feather Eagle’s back tightly to avoid being flung off by its current blazing speed.

Diving, skimming low.

Water Wing!

The Mutated Blue Feather Eagle’s wings were covered by a layer of crystal-clear, shimmering, water-like blades.

The water blades seemed to possess life, constantly flowing and flickering, emitting a chilling gleam that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, those wings, carrying unparalleled speed and power, cut across the dense bamboo forest like a blue streak of light.

In an instant, only the sound of "cracking" was heard incessantly, as swathes of bamboo fell one after another, like harvested wheat.

They were either snapped in half or directly uprooted, raising a cloud of dust and bamboo leaves.

Even more astonishingly, when the water blades sliced across the ground, they actually carved out a deep, bottomless gash!

This gash was like a wound on the earth, shocking to behold.

Soil and gravel splashed out along the edge of the gash, forming a small storm of earth and rock.

Lin Chuan calmed his mind and maximized the effect of the Spiritual Wood Heart.

Using Spiritual Wood Heart required stamina consumption.

At this moment, Lin Chuan’s stamina poured out like a flood.

Just a few seconds of consumption felt like running 3000 meters, and a sense of fatigue and weakness washed over him.

Of course, for Lin Chuan, this was a minor matter.

The exhaustion he experienced from daily intense fitness training during this period was much greater than now; with just one deep breath, Lin Chuan endured.

Guoguo and Sakura worked together, concentrating their minds, and began to mobilize the Wood Attribute energy within their bodies, fully cooperating with Lin Chuan’s Spiritual Wood Heart effect.

As they meticulously and skillfully controlled it, the hazy green light of the Spiritual Wood Heart, combined with the Wood Attribute energy, was gradually transformed into a purer, more life-filled, higher-energy Wood Attribute energy, almost infinitely approaching Tier 2.

This energy, like a green torrent, surged powerfully towards the Vine Armor Shield formation.

In an instant, the entire space was enveloped by a layer of hazy green light.

The green light, like a soft veil or ethereal mist, slowly rose, making one feel as if they were in a green world full of vitality and hope.

The hidden cameras around displayed close-ups of everything here on the huge electronic screen.

On the screen, beneath the hazy green light, countless tiny, dark vine filaments on the shield formation continuously grew and intertwined, making the entire shield formation even tighter and thicker.

Spear and shield.

Ultimate offense, ultimate defense.

Colliding at this moment!

The audience held their breath.

Even the three commentators on the commentary desk instinctively fell silent at this moment, no longer commentating, but watching this collision with exceptionally serious expressions.

The blue light water blade struck the green light shield wall.

The shield wall shattered immediately.

However, before it could completely shatter, another shield wall rose up behind it.

It blocked it, but not completely.

There was still residual water blade energy that fell on Sakura and Guoguo.

The immense impact and cutting effect caused visible injuries to the two small ones.

However, under the combination of Rooting and Photosynthesis for self-healing, and Healing Aroma for mutual healing, a multi-layered healing combination, these injuries lasted for less than a breath before fully recovering.

The audience burst into cheers and applause.

At the same time, there were also some sounds of regret and pity, all from Li Zeyu’s fans, because the situation just now clearly showed that Lin Chuan’s shield formation had won.

If this situation continued, and Li Zeyu had no more tricks up his sleeve, he would likely be worn down and defeated by Lin Chuan.

However, just as some people began to suspect that Li Zeyu was about to lose.

The situation on the field suddenly changed!

Li Zeyu suddenly threw a smoke bomb into Lin Chuan’s shield formation. In an instant, thick smoke billowed, making it impossible for Lin Chuan to see his surroundings clearly for a moment.

At the same time, a black-gold stream of light flew out from Li Zeyu’s side, rushing into the thick smoke and into the shield formation at an extremely fast speed. The audience held their breath.

And among the three teachers on the commentary desk, Teacher Lu Qingquan, seeing the situation clearly, excitedly shouted:

"It’s the Nether Lightning Bat!! Li Zeyu’s Nether Lightning Bat!"

"It used the smoke to infiltrate Lin Chuan’s shield formation!"

The gaps in the shield formation would not allow a huge body like the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle to enter.

If the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle wanted to attack, it could only do so from the front, by breaking through layers of shields.

However, Li Zeyu’s Nether Lightning Bat was only the size of a palm!

For the Nether Lightning Bat, the gaps in the shield wall were too large; it easily passed through and charged straight at Lin Chuan.

"Dangerous! Player Lin Chuan is in danger!!"

"His vision was already obscured by the smoke, and now he’s being rushed by the Nether Lightning Bat!"

"Even if it hasn't reached Tier 1, the Nether Lightning Bat is still a Shuai Grade bloodline spirit beast and can definitely cause effective damage to a Beast Master!"

Teacher Lu Qingquan continued to shout.

Next was Qian Baoyue, who seemed to be stimulated by this fierce battle, her voice trembling with excitement.

"It hit, it hit! The Nether Lightning Bat’s electric shock attack successfully hit Player Lin Chuan, causing effective damage to Player Lin Chuan!!"

"It’s dangerous! Player Lin Chuan’s two Flower Leaf Leaves are currently facing continuous attacks from Player Li Zeyu’s Mutated Blue Feather Eagle and cannot attend to Player Lin Chuan’s situation. If even one were to come to assist, it wouldn't be able to continuously reinforce the shield wall, and the shield wall would be breached by the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle."

"Is the match about to end? Is Player Li Zeyu going to win!!"

"He won, he’s definitely won, how could he lose this!"

Qian Baoyue excitedly and ecstatically pounded the table. Seeing Lin Chuan hit twice more by the Nether Lightning Bat’s electric shock and bitten once, with obvious cracks appearing on his automatic shield, she stood up in excitement, tilting her jade neck back and shouting:

"Let us congratulate—!"

It was at this very moment, the instant Qian Baoyue had just shouted the word "congratulate."

As if seeing something horrifying, Qian Baoyue suddenly lost her voice, covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Teacher Fang Yuan took over, shouting excitedly:

"What’s happening!? The Nether Lightning Bat actually!?"

"Why is it flying erratically!"

"Did it drink fake alcohol!!"

Within the shield formation, under the cover of the smoke bomb, the Nether Lightning Bat initially succeeded in rushing Lin Chuan, catching him off guard.

During the interval when the two small ones were entangled by the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle, it did indeed use electric shock and biting skills to cause effective damage to Lin Chuan, activating Lin Chuan’s automatic competition shield. With the cracks on the automatic shield, about two more hits, and it would be shattered, meaning Lin Chuan should have lost.

However, at this moment, the situation reversed!

The smoke gradually cleared.

At the same time, the Nether Lightning Bat’s attacks continuously missed, easily dodged by Lin Chuan. Even when Lin Chuan stood still, the Nether Lightning Bat’s electric shock would go awry, and eventually, even its flight became shaky, just as Teacher Fang Yuan said, as if it had drunk fake alcohol.

The reason for this situation was naturally the hallucinogenic effect of Sakura’s Healing Aroma, which permeated the shield formation!

Currently, Sakura could control and freely adjust the hallucinogenic effect within her Healing Aroma.

For allies, it was pure healing, but for enemies, she could intensify the hallucinogenic effect.

This hallucinogenic effect was not strong.

At least for spirit beasts like the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle, it was almost ineffective.

However, for the Nether Lightning Bat, which had not yet reached Tier 1 and was completely unprepared, the effect was still noticeable.

Seeing the Nether Lightning Bat wobbling and falling into a hallucination.

Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his palms and forehead were covered in cold sweat; he had been truly nervous just now.

Indeed, among three people, there must be a teacher for me!

His wild combat experience was still shallow; he hadn't anticipated smoke bombs beforehand.

This is a good lesson, I’ve learned it!

Next time he’s in a wild combat or secret realm trial, he’ll bring smoke bombs too!

But, putting that aside for now, he had to deal with this bat spirit beast first.

If he didn't incapacitate it now, the next time it cooperated with a smoke bomb to rush him, he would undoubtedly lose.

Lin Chuan picked up a brick-shaped hard stone from the ground nearby and patted Poison Powder onto the hard stone, making it stick.

Then, with this poisoned hard stone brick, he violently smashed the Nether Lightning Bat’s head, which was still in a hallucination, wobbling as if it had drunk dozens of tons of fake alcohol, unable to fly steadily.

The Nether Lightning Bat fell to the ground, but Lin Chuan didn't let up. He ran over, stepped on its wing with one foot, and continued to violently smash its head with the Poison Powder brick.

Li Zeyu’s eyes were bloodshot with rage; he wanted to rescue the Nether Lightning Bat and shouted with a Rejuvenation Roar, trying to make the Nether Lightning Bat retreat quickly.

However, the Mutated Blue Feather Eagle was entangled by Guoguo and Sakura, and the Nether Lightning Bat had also inhaled a sufficient amount of hallucinogenic dust. Although it was woken up by Li Zeyu’s Rejuvenation Roar, under Lin Chuan’s continuous violent smashing and the penetration of the Poison Powder, it was once again physically hallucinated.

Just like that, Lin Chuan forcefully smashed the Nether Lightning Bat until it whimpered and fainted.

"What!! What!!!"

Qian Baoyue seemed to recover; she swiftly changed her stance, pounding the table forcefully, screaming and shouting with excited fervor:

"What’s the situation, what’s going on!? What happened!!"

"Player Lin Chuan actually solo-killed the Nether Lightning Bat without relying on his two Flower Leaf Leaves!!!"

"It’s simply incredible, to solo-kill a Shuai Grade bloodline spirit beast with a human body!"

"I knew it, I knew it! Player Lin Chuan is definitely going to win!!"
