Chapter 200: Phantom Steps
Gao Xingchen stayed up all night, looking through all the records about spiritual medicines in his mind, and finally determined that a spiritual medicine called "Nine Turns Soul-Returning Grass" might be able to cure Xiao Hei's hidden injury. This spiritual medicine grows in extremely dangerous places and is rarely seen in a hundred years, but for Xiao Hei, Gao Xingchen decided to find it no matter what.
On the day of the competition, Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei stepped onto the competition stage with the belief that they would win. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience. Everyone wanted to know how Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei would deal with the powerful combination of Wang Lie and Xiao Jin.
Wang Lie was surprised to see Xiao Hei standing on the stage in high spirits. "Isn't your pet seriously injured? How..." he asked in disbelief.
Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, without explaining too much, and simply said: "Xiao Hei has almost recovered, thank you for your concern, Master Wang."
Although Wang Lie was puzzled, he did not investigate further. In his opinion, even if Xiao Hei recovered, he would never be his opponent. He smiled contemptuously and said, "In that case, let's start. I want to see how you can last ten rounds under my hands!"
Gao Xingchen ignored Wang Lie's provocation. He gently stroked Xiao Hei's fur and whispered, "Xiao Hei, it's up to us from now on."
Xiao Hei roared in a low voice, with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes. He had fought side by side with Gao Xingchen for a long time, and they had long been in tune with each other. He knew that this game was of great significance to Gao Xingchen, and he would definitely try his best to win for Gao Xingchen!
The referee announced the start of the match, and Wang Lie took the lead in attacking. He formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and Xiao Jin turned into a golden lightning and pounced towards Xiao Hei.
Gao Xingchen's eyes were sharp, and he had already anticipated Wang Lie's attack method. He and Xiao Hei had practiced the response strategy countless times during training. At this moment, facing Xiao Jin's attack, he was not panicked at all, and calmly directed Xiao Hei to dodge and counterattack.
"Xiao Hei, use 'Phantom Steps'!" Gao Xingchen shouted in a deep voice.
Xiao Hei's figure instantly became blurred, leaving several afterimages behind, making it difficult to determine its true location. Xiao Jin's attack missed, and he crashed into the air.
"What?!" Wang Lie was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that Xiao Hei's speed was so fast that even Xiao Jin couldn't catch its trace. Wang Lie frowned. Xiao Jin was a spirit beast that he had carefully cultivated. Speed had always been its strong point. How could Xiao Hei dodge his attack? He snorted coldly and controlled Xiao Jin to attack again. This time, Xiao Jin's speed was faster and the attack was more fierce. It turned into a golden whirlwind and enveloped Xiao Hei.
Gao Xingchen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly directed Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, use 'Shadow Change'!"
Xiao Hei's figure kept flashing in the golden whirlwind, and every time he appeared, he changed his position, making Xiao Jin's attacks miss again and again. Wang Lie became more and more frightened. He could see that Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei cooperated well, both offensively and defensively, and Xiao Hei's speed and reaction ability had improved significantly compared to before, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Could it be the effect of the 'Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Grass'?" Wang Lie guessed secretly in his heart. He had heard of this magical elixir that could not only heal the hidden injuries of spiritual beasts, but also enhance the potential of spiritual beasts. Could it be that Gao Xingchen really found this legendary elixir?
Just when Wang Lie was distracted, Xiao Hei seized the opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and avoided Xiao Jin's attack. At the same time, a faint green light suddenly emanated from its body. The green light quickly spread, dyeing the surrounding space with a faint green color.
"What is this?!" Wang Lie was shocked. He felt that there was a strong vitality contained in the green light, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The next moment, something even more shocking happened.
The green light on Xiao Hei's body suddenly became extremely dazzling, forming a green light column that rushed straight into the sky. In this light column, Xiao Hei's figure began to slowly grow larger. Xiao Hei, who was originally only half a person's height, turned into a huge beast in just a few breaths, emitting powerful pressure all over his body. Even Xiao Jin, who was sitting under Wang Lie's seat, trembled under this pressure.
"How, how is this possible?!" Wang Lie widened his eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief. He had never seen such a strange scene, nor had he ever heard that a spirit beast could suddenly transform in battle!
Gao Xingchen looked at Xiao Hei, whose body had grown rapidly in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was another effect of the "Nine-Turn Soul-Restoring Grass" - to stimulate the potential of spirit beasts. However, he did not expect that this effect would be so powerful!
He took a deep breath, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Now, it's time to fight back!
In the dazzling green light, Xiao Hei howled to the sky. His mountain-like body brought a strong sense of oppression, which made Wang Lie and his Xiao Jin feel suffocated. Seeing this, Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed, and he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Hei, now is the time, Xingyue!"
Xiao Hei received the order and moved his huge body. He rushed towards Wang Lie desperately, and his speed was as fast as a black lightning streaking through the sky. Wang Lie was horrified, and he wanted to control Xiao Jin to dodge, but he found that Xiao Jin had been completely suppressed by Xiao Hei's momentum and could not move at all.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, Xiao Hei's huge body hit Wang Lie fiercely like a falling meteorite. Wang Lie had no time to react and was blown away by this overwhelming force, blood spurting out of his mouth and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
"boom!"
Wang Lie fell heavily to the edge of the competition stage. He struggled to stand up, but found that he had lost the ability to fight. His eyes were full of disbelief and unwillingness. He couldn't accept that he would lose to an unknown kid.
"Wang Lie, you lost." Gao Xingchen stood beside Xiao Hei, looked at the embarrassed Wang Lie, and said calmly.
The audience was silent for a moment, and then broke into deafening cheers.
"Win! Gao Xingchen wins!"
"It's incredible, he actually defeated Wang Lie!"
"Gao Xingchen, the hero of the star field!"
The audience was extremely excited, as they witnessed the birth of a miracle. At this moment, the names of Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei spread throughout the entire arena and the entire star field.
Gao Xingchen ignored the cheers around him. He walked calmly to Wang Lie and looked down at him without any pity or sympathy in his eyes.
"Wang Lie, you should be thankful that this is a competition venue and I will not kill you." Gao Xingchen said coldly, "But you must remember that Nan Li and I are not someone you can bully at will. Today's shame will be returned a hundredfold tomorrow!"
After that, Gao Xingchen ignored Wang Lie and walked off the stage. Nan Li had already come forward, with a look of joy and excitement on her face that was difficult to conceal.
"You did it, Gao Xingchen." Nan Li looked at Gao Xingchen, eyes full of tenderness.
Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, gently held Nan Li's hand, and said: "All this is the result of our joint efforts."
They walked out of the stadium side by side, with deafening cheers and countless admiring gazes behind them. However, Gao Xingchen knew very well that this victory was just the beginning of their journey, and their future path was still long and full of unknown challenges.
