A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

"boom----!!!!!!!"

The two energies of the ground and the water collided in the most violent way!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!"

The moment the scorching sand and stones came into contact with the icy water, a violent reaction occurred!

The sky was filled with billowing, scorching white steam, as if countless smoke bombs had been detonated!

The sand tides are continuously cooled and broken down by the water flow, while the whirlpools are consumed and evaporated by the sand and gravel!

The two energies annihilated each other frantically, producing a piercing sound like thousands of red-hot iron blocks being plunged into ice water!

Finally, in a violent energy explosion, the sand tide and the whirlpool perished together, turning into a thick cloud of smoke and dust that filled the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.

However, in that instant before the smoke and dust had even cleared—

"call out!"

A tiny, silvery-gray starlight suddenly shone brightly from the depths of the smoke and dust!

Immediately afterwards, a familiar, silver-gray beam of light, imbued with terrifying penetrating power, like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time, tore through the smoke and dust and shot towards the spot where the Combo Style Martial Arts Master Xiong had just stood!

Cannon beam! Heatran's sneak attack!

"Turn around and attack!" Zhang Heng's command sounded like a prophetic revelation.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Martial Arts Master Xiong's feet seemed to have wheels installed, his movements as light and agile as a swallow. With a single elegant sidestep, he effortlessly dodged the not-instantaneous beam of light attack by the slightest margin.

"Boom!" The cannon shot missed its target, leaving a bottomless hole in the distant rock face.

Although the sneak attack failed, this strike allowed Martial Arts Bear Master to clearly pinpoint Heatran's location in the smoke and dust.

Ranged attacks were not his forte, so Zhang Heng needed to find another opportunity for a close-quarters assault. After a series of fierce battles, both sides were nearly exhausted; the next strike could very well determine the final outcome of this battle of divine beasts!

"Martial Arts Bear Master," Zhang Heng's voice was deep and powerful, "Water Jet!"

At this moment, Martial Arts Bear Master had just landed from the gliding posture of the Turning Attack and moved upon receiving the order! Flying-type energy enveloped his entire body to reduce weight, while his feet were covered with surging water!

When it landed, its toes barely touched the ground, and its entire crystallized body seemed weightless, like a rocket accelerating twice.

Transforming into a shooting star shimmering with blue-white crystalline light, it charged resolutely toward its target locked in the smoke and dust at a speed surpassing any previous one!

But at this very moment, another unexpected event occurs!

In the sky, the fire-elemental energy beneath the phantom of the bright, clear sky was once again stirred and began to spin rapidly!

A more concentrated and violent fire tornado than before—a lava storm—suddenly took shape!

However, its target was not the charging martial arts bear master, but rather it was attacking Sidran himself!

"Roar!" Shidoran let out a low roar, deliberately hiding and protecting his massive body within the towering lava storm!

It will use this eternal cage of flames to block any possible close-range advances by the Combo-Style Martial Arts Bear Master!

Extremely high combat intelligence! It understood all too well the opponent's fists that ignored defense and the relentless onslaught of its current ultimate fighting attributes.

Once it gets close again, it will lose its ability to fight! This is its last line of defense!

"boom!"

The martial arts bear master's whip-like leg, covered in water, slammed into the side of the lava storm, attempting to force its way through.

But the water was instantly evaporated, which instead triggered an even more violent counterattack from the storm. The violent energy vortex expanded suddenly, forcefully blasting the Martial Arts Bear Master away!

The moment the Martial Arts Bear Master landed, another small lava storm rose beneath its feet, and scorching flames mercilessly licked its crystallized body!

"Ugh..." Martial Arts Master Xiong let out a painful groan, his body swayed, and he almost knelt on one knee.

Now that it has lost its water attribute due to titanium crystallization, its resistance to fire-type moves has returned to normal. The continuous burning damage from Lava Storm has become very real, constantly consuming its already limited stamina.

Heatran's intention was clear—to slowly whittle down the combo-based Martial Arts Bear Master, who couldn't get close, by using the continuous damage from Lava Storm!

However, looking at the Hidden Manne, which was faintly visible in the storm, Zhang Heng's eyes did not show despair, but instead flashed a sharp light that seemed to see through everything!

"You've spun your own cocoon... You've chosen the stage for your own defeat!" Zhang Heng whispered, then, with all his remaining strength, issued the final command that would decide the outcome:

"Martial Arts Bear Master! True Qi Fist!"

“Ouch——!!!”

The fist-shaped titanium crystal crown on the head of the Martial Arts Bear Master seemed to respond to its master's call and the surging fighting spirit within it, bursting out with a dazzling light like the core of the sun!

Fighting-type energy poured and compressed into its fists at an unprecedented scale and speed!

It stomped its feet hard, cracking the earth, and amidst flying debris, its figure soared into the sky, flying directly above the massive lava storm!

Its gaze pierced through the raging flames and locked onto Shidoran, who was hiding in the relatively calm eye of the storm!

True Qi Fist – the ultimate expression of physical fighting moves, a powerful ultimate move with a power of 150 points! Aside from its exclusive skills, it is the most powerful fighting move!

The cost is a huge opening and a long charging time; if you can't strike first, this move is meaningless.

At this moment, the self-righteous Sidora, who trapped himself in the storm, has created the perfect, undisturbed opportunity for the Martial Arts Bear Master to unleash this ultimate move!

Martial Arts Master Xiong adjusted his posture in mid-air, bringing his right fist to his waist, and all the crystallized light and fighting energy in his body converged madly towards that one point!

It seemed to transform into a martial arts god statue suspended in the sky, brewing a world-shaking strike!

The next second, it moved!

It wasn't just a simple straight punch; it was a strike that incorporated the entire body's will, strength, and belief into the air!

It unleashed a devastating punch from mid-air towards the roaring firestorm below and the terrified opponent at the center of the storm!

“Buzz——!!!”

There was no sound, yet it seemed to resonate through the soul! A transparent fist aura, condensed to its extreme and immensely powerful, crashed against the lava storm like a meteor falling to earth or a martial arts master striking through a mountain!

That raging tornado of fire, powerful enough to melt gold and corrode iron, was pierced through with a single punch like fragile paper before this pure and ultimate power and "qi"!

Wherever the fist's energy passed, the flames were extinguished and the energy dissipated!

"Boom——!!!"

The lava storm was blasted open by this unparalleled punch, creating a huge gap. The raging vortex was forcibly shaken and calmed by an even more powerful force!

As the storm subsided, the Fire Steel Divine Beast that had just thought itself safe was revealed—Shiddlelane!

It tilted its head back, its molten gold pupils reflecting the figure in the air that looked like a god descending to earth, as well as the terrifying fist energy that tore through its last barrier.

The martial arts bear master, whose body shimmered with crystalline light, began to descend rapidly, rushing towards the direction of Sidora.

In those pupils, all the anger, rage, calmness, and calculation from before...

All of them vanished at that moment, replaced by a martial arts bear master whose body kept growing larger.

And that kind of fear that I've never felt before, that comes from the very instinct of life... a sense of helplessness!
