Interesting! Interesting! Interesting!!
Blaze Chicken's Trainer, Zhou Jiakai, watched as Blaze Chicken was blasted away with lightning-fast techniques, and after his initial shock, he revealed a fighting spirit.
No one had foreseen that after Fang Yuan had continuously won with dirty tricks and then unleashed his rage as a trump card, he still had one huge card left unrevealed!!
To place all these on a Fierce Fire Monkey was undoubtedly miraculous!
Blaze Chicken stood back up, injured, but not fatally so.
In a professional-level match, the outcome isn't decided so easily.
"Use Bounce!" Zhou Jiakai commanded quickly.
"Cha!!" Blaze Chicken crowed loudly, its wounds and pain constantly reminding it that its opponent was tough to deal with, a freak with both speed and strength.
From the round of 32 to the round of 16, Fierce Fire Monkey revealed its last trump card, and Blaze Chicken paid a heavy price for it.
Thump!!
At Zhou Jiakai's command, Blaze Chicken leaped high into the air, easily reaching the height of a dozen stories!
Watching that dot in the sky, the audience held their breath.
Next, Blaze Chicken pulled in its arms, aiming a solitary foot at the Fierce Fire Monkey below, as its body was enveloped in a light blue Energy Fluctuation, turning it into a blue meteor that violently struck down at the Fierce Fire Monkey!
Fierce Fire Monkey tried to dodge, but in the blink of an eye, the Bounce-powered flying kick from Blaze Chicken multiplied into over a dozen afterimages, blocking Fierce Fire Monkey's path and making it impossible to distinguish which was the real one.
Over a dozen blue meteors presented a visually stunning effect.
The strength of a dozen-story drop, all concentrated in one blow—that move was powerful. Fang Yuan showed a smile; the Professional Trainer indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.
Even though he could have dodged using Lightning Armor, Fang Yuan didn't want the Fierce Fire Monkey to evade because it would only make the opponent's momentum and aura grow stronger, until its speed and strength surpassed the Fierce Fire Monkey's.
Moreover, Fang Yuan wanted the Fierce Fire Monkey to take the hits head-on—no, to engage in intense combat!
The main goal of participating in the Fighting Tournament was not the prizes, but rather using the pressure of competition to elevate Fierce Fire Monkey's mentality and let it evolve in battle!!
Since it was already on par with its opponent in terms of strength and speed, why not have a head-on confrontation between tough guys in this match?
Fierce Fire Monkey might not necessarily lose!
Fang Yuan also felt the surging spirit within Fierce Fire Monkey, so the moment his opponent leaped into the sky, he issued another command.
Qi Fist!!
On the ground, Fierce Fire Monkey performed the Qi Gathering Technique, its gaze holding a wild beast-like fierceness as it faced the dozen blue meteors falling from the sky. In the instant of their arrival, its arm muscles swelled, stirring the air and launching a fist towards the heavens, reversing and summoning a terrifying Energy Hurricane, its might immense!!
This Wind Fist Genuine Transmission embodiment of Qi Fist, carrying the essence of "Wind," seemed to merge with it, the unleashed hurricane scattering the countless afterimages.
At the same time.
There was no doubt that Fierce Fire Monkey and the original Blaze Chicken clashed, the two moves collided, unleashing a tremendous shockwave.
Boom!!
The arena seemed to explode.
The audience was thrilled.
Blaze Chicken's foot and Fierce Fire Monkey's fist confronted each other mid-air.
Crack!
Below Fierce Fire Monkey, the ground was riddled with cracks of various sizes.
"Cha!!" On the other side, the partially paralyzed leg of Blaze Chicken made its bearer leap back to one end of the arena with a troubled expression.
This exchange ended with no victor.
"Sonic Fist!!" Fang Yuan wasted no time and continued to issue commands. The Fierce Fire Monkey turned into a golden blur, moving at extreme speed. Calling it a Sonic Fist didn't quite do it justice—it was more like a Sonic Fist of Thunder and Lightning.
The combination of Awakened Power: Electricity and Sonic Fist propelled the Fierce Fire Monkey's speed to its peak.
Boom!!
A leg shadow swept across—
Zhou Jiakai and the Blaze Chicken chose to counter with a flying knee kick. Between the two Pokemon, energies interwove, shockwaves rippled, and currents surged wildly, creating a combat scene that was no less intense than the previous two fierce battles.
Three rounds of intense fighting inflicted significant injuries on both the Fierce Fire Monkey and the Blaze Chicken.
However, as the Blaze Chicken's injuries worsened, its speed actually increased!!
The Accelerate trait had somehow overcome the paralysis.
"The Fierce Fire Monkey probably won't last much longer," the master from the Qin Yuan Dojo mused, surprised by the Fierce Fire Monkey's display of strength. Yet, he could see that its condition was continuously sliding downward with each clash.
Both Rage and Lightning Armor were techniques that severely impacted the Fierce Fire Monkey's condition and couldn't be sustained for long.
But the Blaze Chicken's Accelerate trait and its robust physical conditioning meant it grew stronger as the battle went on...
What follows... Could the Fierce Fire Monkey still dominate the Blaze Chicken?
Compared to the "moment of brilliance" sought by Fang Yuan and Fierce Fire Monkey, their opponents clearly favored a steady and strengthening approach.
The collision of two such extreme styles weighed heavily on Fang Yuan, but he wouldn't give up because the Fierce Fire Monkey hadn't given up. With Superpower Activation, Fang Yuan could sense the Fierce Fire Monkey's fighting spirit. It didn't want to stop here, not just in the top 32.
"Fierce Fire Monkey, Thunder Punch!!!" Fang Yuan yelled loudly.
Evolve!!
Only by withstanding the pressure to evolve could it hope to defeat its opponent.
Boom!!
The Blaze Chicken was enveloped in intense flames as it charged, while the Fierce Fire Monkey met the attack head-on with Thunder Punches in its fists.
The paralysis caused by the lightning was bound to affect the Blaze Chicken's speed to some extent.
The two Pokemon, upgrading their combat capabilities as the fight progressed, moved rapidly across the field, deploying highly destructive moves at breakneck speeds.
At this point... The audience had forgotten their initial conclusions.
In fact, the Fierce Fire Monkey's condition had already deteriorated to a dire state, and it would soon struggle to maintain its Lightning Armor.
However, the anger it felt dulled its perception of pain. As long as it didn't lose consciousness, the Fierce Fire Monkey didn't care about the negative impact of the pain because it was used to it.
In a short time, the battlefield turned red from the flames caused by their intense battle.
Boom!!
Rage erupted once more.
With a punch, the Fierce Fire Monkey sent the Blaze Chicken flying back. It didn't take long for the Blaze Chicken to forcefully overcome the paralysis throughout its body and stand up with difficulty.
By now, the Fierce Fire Monkey's speed was no longer a match for the Blaze Chicken's, but the Blaze Chicken was also severely injured from the recent clash. The paralysis effect from hitting the Lightning Armor and being struck by lightning increasingly affected the Blaze Chicken's ability to perform with its proud speed.
Regardless, Fang Yuan's objective had been achieved—the Blaze Chicken's key to victory, its Accelerate trait, had been completely restrained by the Fierce Fire Monkey.
"Still not down?" Zhou Jiakai felt a heavy pressure. This Fierce Fire Monkey was too resilient; its injuries were no less severe than those of the Blaze Chicken!!
The next second, the Fierce Fire Monkey continued its assault. Its body could no longer endure the electric shock, and as the Lightning Armor dissipated, the Blaze Chicken seized the advantage and kicked the Fierce Fire Monkey into the air.
But the kick was quite weak; even the Blaze Chicken had reached its limit, gasping for breath heavily.
Seconds later, the bruised and battered Fierce Fire Monkey stood up again and swung its fists at the Blaze Chicken.
The two Pokemon, both pushed to their limits, reverted to the most basic hand-to-hand combat.
