Dome

Woosh* Woosh*

The golden koi disappeared for a second as if it could teleport whilst headbutting the demon tens of times without it ever realizing until it was too late. Ye Qin continued doing this endlessly without consuming any stamina though it could only be used consecutively, though even then it's pretty much invincibility!

The Golden Koi only appears every time its ability ran out and had to reuse it.

Eventually, Ye Qin's relentless attacks caused major damage to his opponent's monster. For this reason alone, the former stopped using his Time Element ability as the golden koi floated in the air with grace.

During this, a person from the War God Academy was on a video call with another person and displayed Ye Qin's match. "This kid, could that be the legendary Space Element?" he asked. The person on the other side of the call paused briefly as he watched before replying "No, it's different, it may seem that way but that's definitely not space."

"But if it's not the space element then what could it be?" the recruiter wondered.

…

Chen Jingyi's demon stopped smiling as it faced its greatest foe yet, in fact, it wasn't even using its true power yet which is the main reason why it had stopped smiling like always. As it struggled to stand straight on its own two feet, it continued moving its aching body until it finally managed to stand up.

Suddenly, its eyes glew dark pink as strange runes started appearing all over its body until it reached each and every nook. The runes too glew dark pink before its entire body was consumed by blinding pink lights that caused everyone to look away.

"Ah! It's so god damn bright!"

"Arg! My eyes! Where are my shades!"

Ye Qin too covered his eyes until the blinding lights dispersed which allowed him to uncover himself as he looked straight towards a transformed demon. Yes, Chen Jingyi too had the ability to transform her demon which brought it much greater power. It's previously long dark hair became as white as a crane, the two small horns on its head grew larger until it spiraled like a snails shell whilst its armor became thinner than before like a microkini showing off its voluptuous curves that became eye candy for the crowd.

"What! Chen Jingyi's monster can transform too!!!"

"Damn so she was holding back even against someone like Sun Zan?!"

"Ah!"

"What?"

"Someone got a nose bleed!"

"What the f*ck! That's so exaggerated!"

"Quickly someone bring him to the infirmary!"

Ye Qin didn't know where to look at this sexy female demon so he moved his eyes away whilst his golden koi too transformed as it acknowledged its opponent.

[Monster: Demon Marshal (Female)]

[Grade: Rare]

[Level: 20]

[Type: Demon]

[Element: Demon and Space]

"Oh? It gained the space element when it transformed? Some of its wounds recovered too. This might be a bit rough for the fatty" Ye Qin thought.

Roar* Roar*

The golden koi's body transformed with golden light that once again blinded the crowd as the earth-shaking roar resounded in the ears of the crowd. As it's head transformed first, the head danced in the air as the rest of its body continued transforming as it followed the direction of the head.

Roar*

Once it completely transformed, it once again roared to show off its overwhelming might. Chen Jingyi's demon made the first move by disappearing suddenly but unlike before from using just its speed, it relied on its space element ability to travel.

It then appeared under the golden dragon and punched it upward before teleporting above it and smashing it back down with two arms.

Bang* Bang*

Before the dragon hit the ground, it froze time and moved in the frozen time and slapped the demon from the back with its tail into the place it had originally wanted to smash the dragon into before unfreezing.

Bang*

The female demon flew down into the ground creating a large crater as it tries to stand up again. Ye Qin stopped time again as a breath of gold element struck the female demon in the frozen time then unfroze it once again causing more damage to the demon unknowingly.

"Damn! How is Chen Jingyi taking damage? Ye Qin's dragon teleported somehow and hit the demon twice without anyone seeing it!". The female demon that was struck once again spat out a mouthful of blood as wounds appeared all over its curvy body that caused pain in the hearts of many male students. Suddenly, its entire body started glowing dark pink as if it were a bomb.

"Ah, looks like it wants to explode all the energy contained inside its body at once." Ye Qin thought.

But before this could happen, the Golden dragon changed into its chibi form and coiled itself around the entire body of the female demon and choked it as it struggled to break free and keep its attack going on at the same time.

Roar*

Shee* Shee*

Ye Qin's dragon continued its hold until eventually, the female demon ran out of stamina and fainted due to exhaustion before letting go as both monsters returned to the Monster Sea.

"..."

"..."

"Whoa!!! Ye Qin won!"

"Not only that, even when Chen Jingyi's demon transformed, he still easily crushed her the same way as before!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Wang Tao laughed loudly in his seat.

The Referee who still had his mouth wide open suddenly came to a realization as he broke free from his thoughts and announced through his mic "Champion of the Group Battles, Ye Qin, and his friends!!!"

"Ye Qin! Ye Qin! Ye Qin!" the crowd chanted.

He then stayed on the field as every student gathered around him for a member of the Ministry of Education to read out his speech.

"Good work everyone! Each fight was splendid, congratulations to those who won and those who lost, don't threat, you will still have another chance to redeem yourself in the next few days!"

The speech continued for a good 20 or so minutes until it eventually ended whilst Ye Qin and his group became surrounded by both students and recruiters. As for Chen Jingyi, though she had lost without any chance of fighting back, the top academies still invited her nevertheless due to her still-powerful monster.

For the next few days, all students were to rest and have free time until the single battles began the following week. The top 10 trainers of the group battles were able to sit out on the battles since it would be unfair for the others who participated.

Ye Qin's trio which included Sun Zan naturally sat out to watch the battles from afar. Many of those who had been crushed by them fought hard against their peers to fight for recommendations into decent academies though those battles paled in comparison to the previous battles by far.

Since Chen Jingyi's monster recovered during the few days, Wang Tao got up from his seat and walked over to her. "May we have a battle later? I want to see how I fair against you." he asked her.

Chen Jingyi didn't reply but nodded her head after pausing for a few seconds. After gaining her approval, Wang Tao went to speak to a government official of the Ministry and asked for permission to duel against Chen Jingyi later on.

After gaining their approval, Wang Tao went to sit down as the matches continued. The matches seemed to last forever as Wang Tao yawned throughout the entire day. Each and every match throughout the day took over twenty minutes due to how small the difference in strength is between the monsters and only those with the Uncommon grade finished faster than the ones with Commons. Though the battles between Uncommon grades took even longer than the Common grade battles.

Once it was finally his turn to battle, the government official whispered into the ears of the referee before saying into the mic.

"That's the end of the first day of singles matches, however, do not leave yet. Another match will be held in just a few minutes." he said.

"What? Another match?" someone said as he yawned slowly.

"Arg we can't go yet?"

Seeing their reactions, the referee said "Now, now, this last match will be an exciting one between Wang Tao and Chen Jingyi!"

"What? Weren't the top 10 supposed to be sitting out?" that same student who shouted every time during the battles the week before said.

"You idiot! They are allowed to battle each other, just not participate when the rest of us are."

"Oh…"

"Were you born with a low IQ or something? You make comments on everything!"

Some students who had already got up from their seats instantly sat back down onto their seats as if they were glued to it. Wang Tao and Chen Jingyi then walked down to the field and stood on opposite sides as they faced each other.

"Battle of the top 10 between Wang Tao and Chen Jingyi begin!" the referee said into his mic.

Woosh* Woosh*

Instantly, with a flash of gold and blue light, Wang Tao's Blackgold Python Tiger was summoned out in full fighting force. On the other side, a dark pink and slightly silver light flashed at the same time with Chen Jingyi's demon in its transformed state.

Woosh*

Wang Tao made the first move as his Blackgold Python Tiger lifted up its front right paw and slammed it down into the ground as a thin layer of golden ice slowly thickened as it enveloped the entire stadium causing even those in the crowd spectating to feel the chill.

Since he had no real way of dealing with her space element, Wang Tao could only do his best to give himself a better chance against her extremely rare element. Chen Jingyi's Demon Marshal moved into the void as if the ice didn't affect it as it disappeared from the stage.

When it appeared again behind the Blackgold Python Tiger, Wang Tao anticipated this as large spears of ice pierced into the sky behind it. The Demon Marshal dodged by entering the void once again then appeared behind it once again.

This time, Wang Tao surrounded himself with ice from all directions creating a dome of golden ice that protected him from all attacks. Within his ice dome, Wang Tao's Blackgold Python Tiger could see everything that happened outside the dome whilst no one else could peer inside.

The demon smashed its claws against the dome which cracked with each hit but at the same time, the ice dome regenerated just as fast as the attacks.
