　"Captain! I'll do it! I'll take out that weakling!"

　"Captain, you stay back, this one is mine!"

　The remaining two main players of the Beast Holy Sanctuary immediately volunteered, but Wiggins merely waved his hand.

　Stay back... Mangalam had thought the same before, and then their captain was pinned down on the bench, not even getting a chance to step onto the stage, and received the most humiliating gift—three to zero!

　Wiggins did not want to be tricked like Mangalam again in the Beast Holy Sanctuary.

To be honest, with Quio and Ape both out, Wiggins knew that the Beast Holy Sanctuary’s chances of winning were already slim. The remaining two main players were not particularly outstanding, just average, while Rose’s strength was genuinely formidable. This group was truly unique; if he couldn’t see that by now and still harbored any侥幸 thoughts, he would be an utter fool.

　Since it was already difficult to win, at least he, as the captain, could not repeat Mangalam's mistake. Besides, responding to Wang Feng's provocation was only natural for the captain of the Beast Holy Sanctuary. Moreover, if he could personally flatten that annoying, showboating face and personally punish the guy who made the Holy Sanctuary and most people in the Alliance uncomfortable, it would certainly boost his personal reputation.

　There was no reason to let this opportunity go to the two fringe players, nor any reason to dodge it.

　Wiggins cast a cold glance at the smug Wang Feng and slowly stepped onto the stage: "As you wish!"

　Captain against captain!

　In any Holy Sanctuary challenge, this would undoubtedly be the highlight, but here, it seemed somewhat odd.

　People might not know much about Kela Wu Di or Fantasi, but they absolutely could not be unfamiliar with Wang Feng.

　He rose to fame through fusion runes, drew attention to the Holy Sanctuary and the entire Alliance with the orc scandal, and although he stayed until the last level in the Dragon City battle, his record was zero kills. It was said that he was protected throughout and never even lifted a finger. His only achievement was being a gunner during the famous battle between Rose and Judgment, which was later revealed.

　A gunner… a gunner who had only won against minor opponents, with soul power that had just broken through to the Tiger level, not even reaching the average threshold for an excellent Holy Sanctuary disciple, let alone elite status. In everyone's eyes, this guy was clearly not a fighter!

At this moment, however, they were facing the Beast Tamer Captain ranked forty-third in Dragon City—Vigins the Magic Clam. Was there any comparison to be made?

After a brief silence, the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary in the stands could no longer contain their boiling emotions. The feeling of being defeated two to zero was truly frustrating. They no longer wanted to think too much; all they desired was a swift and satisfying victory to trample and crush those annoying Rose people, venting their pent-up anger! And stepping on their captain would undoubtedly be the most exhilarating.

"Ten seconds, I bet ten seconds! That Rose scum captain will be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy within ten seconds, just like he always does!"

"Captain Vigins, be careful! Don't give that guy a chance to surrender. At least cripple him, make sure he can't use three of his legs, to avenge Quiao and Deputy Captain Ape!"

"Without skills, yet daring to act so arrogantly, now you've kicked a rock, let's see how your runes can save you!"

"The Rose has only one Winnie Lee, plus a lucky beastman who awakened, the rest are all trash! Victory to the Beast Holy Sanctuary!"

The arena echoed with shouts, the frustration from the previous two matches finally finding an outlet. The disciples in the stands looked triumphant and fierce, as if they wanted to expend all their energy in these few minutes.

Winning was a must, and it had to be a glorious win. Wang Feng, now at the center of the entire league's attention, was a fine stepping stone for reputation. This grand gift, Vigins was determined to accept!

Vigins slowly entered the arena, his soul power already surging the moment he stepped onto the field.

A faint blue soul power enveloped Vigins' body, and with each step forward, the hard oakstone tiles beneath his feet began to tremble and crack!

It wasn't because of the immense force of his steps; the cracks and shattering started from within. Thick, vine-like tendrils, resembling living creatures, grew from under the ground where he stepped, breaking through the earth and the hard tiles!

Old Wang squinted his eyes; that was... Titan Vines!

Not all Soul Beast Tamers carried Soul Beasts, nor did all Soul Beasts have to be in the form of 'beasts.' Whether controlling undead, puppets, or plants, they could all be called Soul Beast Tamers. Those who controlled these 'special Soul Beasts' were often exceptionally powerful, like the Spirit Summoner Fu Yu of the Nine Divine Empire...

When Vigins stopped about ten meters away from Wang Feng, the ground behind him in the arena was already in ruins. The size of the Titan Vines was simply exaggerated; apart from the roots still growing underground, the vines that emerged from the ground numbered around fifty to sixty, each over ten meters long and one to two meters in diameter.

Dozens of vines writhed and waved upon emerging, dominating half of the arena like a web of heaven and earth. Although their movements seemed slow and clumsy, the terrifying volume, if fully extended, would likely cover the entire arena! Plant-type Soul Beasts were known for their resilience and power. As the saying goes, brute force can overcome skill. Even the Golden Behemoth, which had previously swept through the Dragon Apes, would not fare well against such a formidable opponent.

The stands went wild. Deploying such an overwhelming force against Wang Feng, who looked so frail and thin, was like using a cannon to swat a fly or a sledgehammer to crack a nut; there was no way he could win!

Cheers thundered around the arena, but Wiggins pressed his hands down slightly to calm the crowd.

"Rumor has it you're a firearms expert?" Wiggins looked at Wang Feng with a faint expression. Ever since he entered the Beast Holy Sanctuary, Wang Feng had been mocked and outwitted in every verbal exchange. But now, it was finally his turn to prove himself through sheer strength. If he could set aside his worries about the outcome of the match, this moment felt quite satisfying: "Unfortunately for you, firearms are completely useless against me."

This wasn't just boasting. The Titan Giant Vine, a plant-type Spirit Beast, was massive and most resistant to soul power bullets. Even if you stood there and shot at it, a firearms expert of the same level would likely tire out before managing to take down even two of its vines.

"That's all a misunderstanding..." Old Wang smiled and waved his hand. "In fact, I am a Spirit Beast Master."

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

A series of wing flaps echoed as clusters of white shadows flew out from Wang Feng's body, instantly lining up in front of him.

Birds? Hawks? No... they were white bees, as large as eagles, radiating intense cold. This guy... is really a Spirit Beast Master?

First came a wave of surprise from the stands, followed by bursts of laughter.

Spirit Beast Masters who controlled insect-type creatures were actually very powerful, and no one dared to underestimate them. The Ice Spirit Queen, who once controlled a true swarm of ice bees, was nearly invincible in her time.

But the issue here was that such control usually required thousands or even tens of thousands of insects to be effective, relying on the power of numbers. You only have eighteen... what can eighteen do? Although these ice bees were much larger than ordinary bees and had reached the Tiger Peak level, complete with what looked like neat armor, no matter how big or well-equipped they were, they were still just ice bees!

To put it bluntly, their potential was too low.

Without an absolute numerical advantage, this type of Spirit Beast is nothing but trash!

"As a beginner Spirit Beast Master, you need to understand one thing..." Wiggins couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Wang Feng's ice bees: "Attack and defense are the most basic elements. Your creatures offer no defense whatsoever!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble...

The ground suddenly churned, the tiles shattering and crumbling as if the earth itself was the foundation. Behind him, all the vines that had been moving sluggishly moments ago now darted forward swiftly. In an instant, dozens of massive vines formed a circle around Wang Feng, rising high and aiming at his position, striking down indiscriminately!

The speed of these strikes was incredibly fast, and the force was brutally overwhelming. Just by looking at the size difference between the giant vines and Wang Feng, it seemed like a giant reaching out with five fingers to crush an ant!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying impact made the entire arena tremble slightly. The indiscriminate attack covered half the field, leaving no room for the opponent to dodge!

In the center of the countless vine attacks, the ground was in ruins. The hard oak stone tiles were smashed into powder, revealing the bare earth beneath, pockmarked with deep indentations. As for the boastful Wang Feng and his eighteen ridiculous ice bees, there was not even a trace of their remains left; they must have been crushed into dust along with the tiles!

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Wiggins' mouth. Those small Spirit Beasts might be agile or employ some sneaky tactics, but he wasn't foolish enough to play games with Wang Feng. In the face of absolute power, so-called skills and agility were utterly insignificant.

Brute force overcomes ten techniques, and they couldn't withstand a single blow!

He could have held back, but Wang Feng was truly detestable! Besides, the demands from the classmates in the stands were so urgent... Wang Feng did have some backing in the Holy Sanctuary, but a fight is a fight. Even if someone questioned it afterward, he would only say that he never expected the captain of the prestigious Rose to be so weak.

Wiggins stood calmly, neither boasting nor acting arrogantly. He knew there were some reporters from the Holy Sanctuary's Light present, and these reporters would capture his current composed and steady demeanor, showcasing it to the entire league...

The stands erupted into cheers after a moment of silence: "Captain is the captain, no need for ten seconds, one second was enough!"

"Die for your arrogance, no body left behind!"

"Rose's, your captain is dead! Hurry up and get ready for the next match!"

The scene was in a frenzy, with Axi Ba's mouth agape. Kela and Wu Di's heads heated up, almost rushing onto the field, but were each held back by Winnie and Mapeier.

"What's the rush?" Winnie said to Kela and Wu Di with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Look up!"

Startled, the two quickly looked up with Fantasi, only to see above the arena, dozens of meters high, an ice bee holding Old Wang, along with the remaining seventeen, all unharmed and leisurely watching Wiggins below.

"Hey!" Old Wang shouted from the sky.

Hearing this voice, the faint smile on Wiggins' face froze slightly. Not only did he freeze, but all the Holy Sanctuary disciples in the arena stands were also stunned.

At that moment, everyone looked up at the sky and saw, saw... damn!

Not only had he escaped death, but do you know what that guy was doing? He was leisurely cracking sunflower seeds under the protection of an Ice Bee, as if he were a lord!

Everyone was dumbfounded; this, this was just too damn arrogant!

Wiggins' confident, faint smile had now turned pale. He raised his hand to command the vines to continue attacking, but then he suddenly realized a rather awkward fact.

The other party was floating at least thirty to forty meters high, while his Titan Vines, even the longest ones, were only fifteen meters long, not even half the distance! Now that the guy was flying in the sky, what could he use to attack?

To be honest, it was impossible for anyone below the Ghost level to learn how to fly. Even among Spirit Beast Masters, flying Spirit Beasts were quite rare, and those capable of carrying people were even rarer... So he had never considered such an awkward situation. In battles between Holy Sanctuary disciples, no matter how slippery they were, they would eventually land. But now, with someone directly flying up, what could he do?

The Holy Sanctuary disciples in the stands were suddenly at a loss. The Titan Vines were Captain Wiggins' main offensive weapon and the reason he ranked forty-third among the many strong elites in Dragon City. But now, his greatest reliance had been completely nullified?

"You can't touch me, right?" Old Wang happily threw down a handful of sunflower seed shells and clapped his hands: "As the saying goes, when the spring breeze blows and the war drums sound, who fears my machine gun squad..."

As Old Wang spoke, he suddenly pinched his thumb and index finger together, put them to his mouth, and blew a whistle: *Shh*!

Amidst the shrill whistle, apart from the Ice Bee holding Old Wang, the other seventeen Ice Bees instantly gathered.

"Machine gun squad, listen up!" At that moment, Old Wang, like a general holding a command flag, waved his hand downward with satisfaction, his mouth forming an 'O': "Rat-tat-tat-tat!"

To be honest, the eyes of these Spirit Beast Masters were quite discerning. If it were just Tiger Peak Ice Bees, their destructive power wouldn't be much to speak of. But these were enhanced War Demon Armors... The primary function of these armors wasn't to enhance the Ice Bees' destructive power, but to use the 'lever principle' of soul power to save soul power for them, providing these Ice Bees with unimaginable soul power endurance!

In an instant, soul power surged in the air. The green glow on the surface of the War Demon Armors of the seventeen Ice Bees suddenly turned into a blinding white, and then a cold aura instantly enveloped the area. All the Ice Bees' tails began to tremble simultaneously.

Whoosh...

It was a white ice spike, no thicker than a finger, but its tip was as sharp as an armor-piercing bullet, brimming with terrifying cold energy.

Compared to the massive Titan Vines below, such an ice spike would seem insignificant in terms of damage. But what if there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand?

A sudden mist filled the air! It was the cold energy stirred up by seventeen Ice Bees firing their ice spikes, and at the same time, their seventeen abdomens aimed downward, firing like machine guns at the menacing Titan Vines below!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

The entire audience was stunned. They saw those dozen or so plump Ice Bees unleash a dense, countless barrage of ice spikes in an instant!

At the same time, Wiggins' arms swung wildly, his soul power causing the surrounding Titan Vines to creak and intertwine, forming a defensive structure in layers, resembling a coconut shell in just a moment!

Titan Vines — Tree World Defense!

Above, the terrifying attack from the Ice Bees rained down like a continuous storm of ice spikes; below, the layered vine defense formed a protective barrier like a tree vine shield.

As the two forces clashed, the coconut-shell-like defense endured unimaginable dense attacks, with countless pieces of bark exploding and flying off the surface, and within moments, seven or eight vines had been severed by the intense bombardment!

But this defense had several layers, and whenever a vine broke on the surface, new ones immediately wrapped around to fill the gaps. The Titan Vines seemed to have endless vitality, attacking densely from above and defending flawlessly from below!

Even the strongest endurance has its limits. After about three minutes of concentrated fire, the Ice Bees in the air seemed to be tiring, their firepower no longer as fierce as before.

The spectators around the arena couldn't help but want to cheer, and Wiggins, at the center of the Tree World Defense, could sense the situation outside through his connection with his Spirit Beast.

A slight smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

Yes, the enemy was flying in the air, out of reach of the Titan Vines, but these Ice Bees, clad in heavy armor and with bulky bodies, were clearly mutated. Their thin, gossamer wings could not sustain flight for long, let alone carry a person while flying!

In the current situation, the opponent cannot break through the defense of the Titan Vine, but the Ice Bees have their limits, and the stronger their attacks, the faster they will exhaust themselves! And when the Ice Bees are exhausted and forced to land, that will be Wang Feng's end!

This battle, I am certain to win... huh?

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

The annoying sound of flapping wings suddenly reached Wiggins' ears, making him pause.

Through seven or eight layers of vine defense, how could the sound of the Ice Bees in the air possibly penetrate? Could it be...

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

Before Wiggins could figure it out, his pupils suddenly constricted as he saw a series of ice spikes shoot directly at him from the gaps in the vines!

"Spirit Shield!"

Being both a wizard and a Spirit Beast Master, a simple Spirit Shield was enough to save the day, especially since Wiggins, nicknamed the Magic Clam, excelled in defensive techniques like a clamshell Spirit Shield!

A dozen ice spikes were immediately blocked by the instantly formed Spirit Shield, but after all, it was just a Spirit Shield, lacking the terrifying defensive power of the Titan Vine. Just those dozen ice spikes made the Spirit Shield hum and wobble, nearly collapsing.

Fortunately, this is my home turf, and the small gap was quickly covered by the Titan Vine, sealing off the innermost space completely!

Phew, phew... Wiggins patted his chest, almost letting his guard down. Although these Ice Bees look large, the gaps in the Titan Vine are even larger; I almost fell into a trap...

Rumble, rumble...

Before Wiggins could steady himself, he heard something rolling over from the recently closed gap.

He had a bad feeling and quickly focused his gaze. It was better not to look, for when he did, he nearly jumped out of his skin in terror.

There, rolling in from the darkness, was a Thunderclap Bomb!

The central defensive space had already been constricted by the Titan Vine, and to prevent the Ice Bees from slipping through, it had been made even smaller! And now, in this tiny space, someone had thrown in a Thunderclap Bomb...

Oh, for crying out loud!

Wiggins immediately felt as if he had been kicked in the gut. The flying Spirit Beast clad in full combat magic armor actually needed to be equipped with a Thunderclap Bomb worth over 200,000, and it was thrown into such a small space. Was this something a human would do?!

Two hastily extended vines managed to shield only Wiggins' upper body just as the Thunderclap Bomb trembled and then exploded.

Boom...

On the stands, the disciples of the Beast Holy Sanctuary were still cheering, excited, and urging on their side. As Spirit Beast Masters, they shared almost the same judgment as Wiggins.

The Ice Bees would eventually run out of strength, and after mutating, their overly thin wings could not sustain prolonged flight while carrying a person. They wouldn't be able to break through the Tree Realm's defenses and would eventually fall, sealing Wang Feng's fate!

"Captain Wiggins will surely win!"

"An ant is an ant! Using a lowly insect like a Spirit Beast, how can it compare to Captain Wiggins' Titan Vine!"

"Think flying means you're safe? You cheap trickster, wait for your death!"

Everyone cheered and cursed, but suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed. A burst of flames shot out from within the coconut-like Titan Vine, and the massive blast wave caused the 'vine coconut' to expand outward.

Then came a strong smell of burning, and the entire vine coconut stiffened before going limp...

What was once the vibrant Titan Vine suddenly wilted, its thick vines drooping like noodles, quickly fading and vanishing into the air.

What... What just happened? What was that explosion inside the defense? And what about the disappearing giant vine?

Everyone was stunned. Without the appearance of a summoning array, the giant vine, as a Spirit Beast, suddenly vanished. This could only happen in two scenarios: either the Spirit Beast was severely injured and unable to continue fighting, in which case it would be automatically recalled by the soul contract; or the other...

The Titan Vine, which had previously filled the arena, quickly disappeared without a trace. The arena was now shrouded in smoke and dust, and at the center of this chaos, a figure, blackened as if just dug out from a coal mine, lay limp on the ground, breathing only out but not in.

Captain... Captain Wiggins?

The once roaring arena fell silent in an instant.

Has he lost consciousness? How did he lose? What exactly happened with that explosion?

"Look! A Sky-Shattering Thunder!"

There were always those with keen eyes, who suddenly noticed that one of the Ice Bees' legs was dragging a pitch-black, glaringly obvious Sky-Shattering Thunder!
