Although the arm strength of the demons was superior to that of humans, it was still a piece of cake compared to pet beasts.

Ah Li only left an afterimage on the spot. The long spear pierced through the shadow and stabbed straight into a stone behind Ah Li. The stone exploded with a bang and the broken stone smashed into Fang Yuan, causing an intense pain.

“Is this the virtual arena?” Fang Yuan asked.

“That's right.” The demon race trainer said with a tone of admiration, “You guessed it right. This is our ability to pull our opponents into the virtual arena world. But here, the pain is fully 100%. In other words, if you die here, you will die in the real world as well.”

“What an abnormal ability.” Fang Yuan thought to himself. No wonder Huang Ying wanted him to familiarize himself with the fighting style of the ‘demon race'. It was because most of the time, the ‘human race' would pay attention to fair battles. Only the ‘demon race' would do everything they could for victory. They even went to the extent of pulling others into the compet.i.tion s.p.a.ce.

“Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's continue fighting.” The demon race trainer commanded the Thunderbird, “Use the Lightning Turbulence!”

The Thunderbird in the air turned into a lightning ball and kept shooting lightning bolts in all directions. One thick lightning bolt after another hit Ah Li's side, but Ah Li managed to dodge them all.

In this lightning environment, the attack ability of the lightning-type pet beast had been strengthened to the greatest extent, so…

Fang Yuan could do it, too.

“Super Thunder Pick!”

Pick, who had upgraded to diamond intermediate, was covered with lightning, which had turned from blue to purple

The moment it saw the Thunderbird, it subconsciously hid on Ah Li's body.

“Hahaha, Pick, you're still so timid.” Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan could not help but think of the first time he met Pick in Iron Castle Military Academy. Pick was fighting with Thunder Sparrow, which was a gold high-grade pet, and it was only after it lost that it was mercilessly abandoned by its master.

Time pa.s.sed. When it reached the diamond-rank, its opponent had also changed from gold to diamond.

Hearing Fang Yuan's voice, Pick grabbed the fur on the back of Ah Li's neck. This made Ah Li very uncomfortable, and it shook Pick to the ground like a flea.

A bolt of lightning struck Pick's side, making it tremble in fear instantly.

“Don't be afraid, Pick. You're already a powerful pet beast now,” Fang Yuan encouraged it. “Do you still remember the first time you fought with the rattlesnake?”

Ah Li and Pick looked at each other.

“It's much weaker than the rattlesnake, and you're much stronger than you were back then,” Fang Yuan said. “Let's try again the tactic that wasn't realized back then.”

The density of the lightning became higher and higher. Under the lightning environment, its lightning energy seemed to be endless.

Ah Li picked up Pick and threw it onto its back. Pick understood and held onto its body tightly.

Ah Li was no longer using the Wind Chasing Skill but the Gale Skill. As it ran, Ah Li's figure suddenly disappeared, which shocked the demon trainers and the Thunderbird greatly.

“Where did it go?”

However, soon, they didn't need to worry about it anymore. Pick had already started to cast the Lightning Array.

Pick and Ah Li then appeared out of the invisible state. Ah Li bit Pick and threw it towards the Thunderbird. Pick's eyes were full of confidence instead of fear.

“Ji ji ji!”

The lightning bolt of the Thunderbird was golden in color. After being possessed by Pick, the purple lightning bolt also landed on its body.

For a moment, the light around its body kept changing. No one could tell whether it was attacking Pick or it was being attacked by Pick.

Ah Li also hid far away to avoid being hit by the lightning turbulence.

This was the battle between a divine beast and an elf.

“Hu.”

After five minutes of fighting, the Thunderbird fell to the ground from the sky. At the same time, the illusion of lightning disappeared, and Fang Yuan returned to the forest.

The Thunderbird lay on the ground and did not move. Not long after, its body was pushed by a force. A sphere gradually moved out from under its body, and then Pick came out from inside.

It happily jumped over to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan was ready to welcome it.

But…

In the next second, Fang Yuan was paralyzed by the lightning.

Pick was in a state of extreme excitement just now, so its lightning was not completely recalled.

The Thunderbird turned into a ray of light and was summoned back to the pet s.p.a.ce by the demon trainer.

She walked to Fang Yuan's side and said with a smile, “You're really strong.”

“Thank you.”

Fang Yuan had heard this sentence countless times. However, as his goal was to become the strongest, he would not be happy because of this.

“But your combat skills still need to be improved. In the end, you completely relied on your pet to fight with your opponent to win.” She pointed out the shortcomings in Fang Yuan's battle plan.

Indeed, when there were no tactics available to restrain the opponent, Fang Yuan would usually go to the extreme, such as tripping, charging into the opponent's mouth to attack, using the opponent's stray bullets to hit himself, and all sorts of methods.

Every time Fang Yuan fought, he was licking the blood on the tip of his blade. If not for the system, his pet would have been crushed by the opponent's attributes many times over.

“I am also helpless.” Fang Yuan thought in his heart. If he had a pet that could completely counter the Thunderbird, such as the Mountain Giant that he had seen in the Earth Arcane Realm, then he could completely ignore the Thunderbird's attacks.

“Don't expect to completely restrain your opponent. It's impossible,” she said. “My name is Leila, I'm a trainer of the Hermit Tribe. Next, I'll teach you some of our demon race's combat methods.”

“Can you teach me how to use s.p.a.ce?” Fang Yuan was a little curious. If he could always pull his opponent into a favorable battle situation, especially in the Wind and Gra.s.s Arcane Realm, his chances of winning would definitely be greatly increased.

However, Leila very soon poured cold water on him. “Impossible. Even if you are a demon, you can not use this power. This is a special ability that only the elders of the demon race would have. They have to be absolutely loyal to the King.”

Saying this, she bit her lip.

“What exactly is the King that you are talking about?” Fang Yuan asked curiously.

“Come with me. I will tell you about the demon race.” Leila hooked her finger and gestured for Fang Yuan to follow her.

They came to a cave. The cave looked ordinary, but the walls were covered with all kinds of strange murals.

Needless to say, Fang Yuan knew that this was the history of the demon race.

“Fang Yuan, remember everything that I am going to tell you. Otherwise, you will definitely lose when you meet the demon race in the future.”

“Besides, I will teach you how to control the demonization of pets…”
