Clusters of flames emerged from the barren, cracked ground.

The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch dodged Spark’s assault with [Flaming Flash Assault], and when it turned to face the latter, the Flame Heavy Sword swung continuously, slashing out X shapes in the air, sending waves of fire shooting out continuously.

"Chirp!"

Although the attack was ineffective, Spark was already on alert, suddenly flapping its wings, stirring up a fierce wind while flying upwards to evade the fire waves.

Following that, Spark spewed flames from its mouth, counterattacking using [Flame Surge].

Boom!

The deafening sound of explosions echoed in midair as the two attacks clashed intensely again, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Xia Heng silently clenched his fists: "Indeed, the Flame Cloud Falcon has grown stronger again."

Even though he never gave up training after being defeated, the Furious Wave Crocodile made significant progress during this period, but the opponent’s progress was equally astounding.

If their rate of progress is the same, then the Furious Wave Crocodile will never catch up to the Flame Cloud Falcon regardless.

Mulate, standing nearby, felt his emotions stir, only now comprehending why Xia Heng had such a strong obsession within him.

Becoming rivals with such a Beastmaster was truly despairing.

Thinking this, Mulate couldn’t help but feel a bit fortunate: "Luckily, lucky, he’s not from the Fire State."

Simultaneously, exclamations kept ringing out.

"What an intense Flame Cloud Falcon, Commander Quality can actually rival Morning Star Quality!"

"Indeed, quality isn’t the only factor determining victory in a battle. Don’t stop me, I want to challenge it later too."

"Neck and neck, both sides are Fire-type Pet Beasts; at this rate, it’s almost impossible to determine a winner unless..."

"Unless more powerful moves are used!"

Gazing at the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered.

This was the toughest and most formidable opponent Spark has faced in battles so far, bar none.

With Morning Star Quality, Tier Three strength, and proficiency in two skills clearly not low.

Their duel has lasted several rounds, yet neither has shown any advantage or disadvantage.

Thinking back to the Da Feng Cup finals, the pressure Xia Heng brought was less than half compared to the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.

And speaking of this guy’s specific combat power, not mentioning for now, primarily it’s mastering the frustrating skill that can dodge skills — Flaming Flash Assault.

If left unchecked, Spark’s skills cannot hit accurately.

"The urgent priority is to target Flaming Flash Assault so Spark can successfully hit the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch."

While Spark and the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch were intensely engaged, Chen Yuan brainstormed, trying to find a counter-method suitable for the current situation.

Among the skills Spark currently possesses, Flame Surge, Flame Energy Assault, and Flame Storm are pure offensive skills, easily blocked and evaded by the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.

Thus, Spark has one remaining skill — Flame Prison.

As Spark’s only control skill, Flame Prison should play a role right now.

Chen Yuan gazed at the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch fiercely clashing with Spark, a thought suddenly emerging from his heart: "Perhaps, it can be done this way."

In the next moment,

Under the watchful eyes of all, Spark suddenly vibrated its wings, the air currents it stirred dragging it swiftly to high altitude, temporarily exiting the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s attack range.

The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch lifted its gaze, stared at Spark, flames flowing on its fiery body, the Flame Heavy Sword embedded in the ground glowing with fire.

Countless Wandering Fire Ash Spirits floated all around, witnessing the king’s duel.

Suddenly,

Spark violently flapped its wings, its beak exploding with a forceful fire column again, breaking through the air.

It’s still Spark’s proudest, most proficient skill — Flame Surge.

Jiang Hu couldn’t help but ask again: "Is Flame Surge really useful? The previous tactics all failed."

Past duels had already proven one thing, relying solely on Flame Surge cannot inflict substantial harm on the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch; Flame Surge combined with Flame Energy Assault also did not succeed.

Does Advisor Chen still have tactics?

Liu Jinglan wiped sweat from her forehead, decisively spoke: "Trust Advisor Chen."

At this point, apart from trusting, there is no alternative.

If Advisor Chen is defeated, none of the Beastmasters present are a match for the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.

There’s surely no chance of hoping for Xia Heng, Advisor Chen’s defeated opponent, right?

"I think we need to consider another thing." Chang Yuhuan spoke maturely, pulling everyone back from their drifting thoughts, "If Advisor Chen wins, defeating this Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, will the other Wandering Fire Ash Spirits attack in unison?"

Once these words came out, everyone instantly gazed at the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits surrounding them from all sides, their expressions turning solemn.

Defeating their king in front of the Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, one could imagine the reaction of these Wandering Fire Ash Spirits.

It can be anticipated that a large-scale chaotic battle will certainly occur here.

All Beastmasters present cannot avoid it.

"This is indeed a big problem." Jiang Hu scratched his rough big face, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes, then looked at Liu Jinglan, "Only you can handle it."

"Me?" Liu Jinglan was surprised.

Jiang Hu extended his large hand to pat Liu Jinglan’s shoulder, grinning: "Your relations are the best, you know most of the Beastmasters here, of course it’s up to you to negotiate with them, to discuss how to jointly face the potential upcoming situation."

Although this battle was far from over, several people who were confident in Advisor Chen had already begun discussing the aftermath.

At the same time,

Flame Surge came rushing, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch using [Flaming Flash Assault] again, attempting to instantaneously move several meters.

However, the flame path generated during the teleport exposed its position, Spark directly made a prediction, a second before Blazing Soul Flame Monarch appeared, executing the well-planned [Flame Prison] towards the air.
