Chapter 135: An Unexpected Strategy

As the horn of battle sounded, the anticipated frenzied combat was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a palpable tension hung in the air. Every combatant was in a state of alertness, eyes darting around, wary of being the first to make a move for fear of becoming an instant target for a collective attack.

After what felt like an eternity, the unpredictable Benedict made the first move. His Petrified Mammoth, turning into a comet of rock and fury, aimed straight for Kitty's Crimson Sky Bear. But the fiery bear was not to be underestimated. With swift agility, it raised its powerful arms, creating a wall of flames that stopped the charging mammoth dead in its tracks. The stadium was filled with gasps, and every spectator was at the edge of their seat.

Seizing this momentary distraction, Maximus commanded his Dark Spirit Bat to unleash a powerful ultrasonic wave aimed at Qing Lian's Seven-Colored Peacock. However, even before the attack could land, Liu Wei's Ziyun Winged Tiger leapt into action, releasing a resounding tiger roar that disrupted the ultrasonic waves. Turning to Maximus with fire in his eyes, Liu Wei declared, "You shall not harm the one I admire!"

At this juncture, Cheng Liang, a figure of calm demeanor amidst the chaos, stepped forward and addressed Li Yang, "Would you be willing to engage in combat with me?" Without hesitation, Li Yang responded affirmatively, his eyes reflecting a mixture of respect and determination.

This wasn't just a test of strength and skill but also of wit and strategy. As the combatants calculated their next moves, alliances were formed and broken in the blink of an eye, strategies were redesigned, and the very essence of battle was redefined. The stakes were high, and the outcomes were uncertain.

The stadium roared with excitement, anticipating the next clash. Each move was being watched, each strategy scrutinized. In this game of champions, where every second counted, one thing was certain: the true mettle of a warrior wasn't just in their strength, but in their ability to think, adapt, and overcome.
