However, the most shocked were Long Yunxiao and Su Lingyan.

They lost the match before even seeing the full strength of either side, indicating a considerable gap in their powers.

At this moment, the referee asked, "Do you both choose to battle with a single Guardian Beast, or with two?"

Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Single."

The referee nodded upon hearing this and announced the start of the match.

Without any more words, both of them summoned their respective Guardian Beasts.

Leng Ningshuang immediately commanded the Earth Rock Holy Steed to charge at Lei Yao.

Seeing this, Lei Yao let out a low growl and charged at the opponent as well.

When the two beasts were within a distance of two yards of each other, they simultaneously launched their attacks.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed lifted its front hooves and aimed them at Lei Yao's head.

Lei Yao raised its fist to meet the attack.

With a resounding "boom," hooves and fist collided, the powerful force causing both beasts to stagger backward.

Lei Yao only had to retreat a yard to dissipate the force, while the Earth Rock Holy Steed retreated a full two yards before stopping.

In terms of sheer power, Lei Yao had the upper hand.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed seemed dissatisfied with this result, letting out an angry scream as it prepared to charge at Lei Yao again.

However, it was stopped by Leng Ningshuang; Lei Yao's displayed power was significantly greater, and further charging would yield no benefit.

Leng Ningshuang promptly changed her strategy, using the Earth Rock Holy Steed's speed advantage to launch an attack.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed was incredibly fast, sprinting around Lei Yao.

Lei Yao stood in place, continuously turning in circles, soon becoming dizzy and shaky.

However, it displayed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of its mouth.

At this point, the Earth Rock Holy Steed found an opening, quickly circling to Lei Yao's rear and lifting its leg to kick at Lei Yao's head.

If the kick landed, even with Lei Yao's physical resilience, it would likely be knocked unconscious on the spot.

Just as the hoof was about to hit Lei Yao, it slightly tilted its head to dodge the attack, directly grabbing the hoof with its right hand and, with a forceful swing, slammed the Earth Rock Holy Steed towards the ground.

With a thunderous "boom," even the stage shook violently.

Leng Ningshuang then realized that it was a trap; the opponent had obviously shown a deliberate flaw.

As Lei Yao prepared to swing the Earth Rock Holy Steed again, a hoof suddenly kicked its wrist.

The intense pain caused Lei Yao to instinctively release its grip.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed immediately got up and retreated, but it kept its left front leg raised in the air, not daring to put it down. It limped as it walked, with blood flowing from its mouth and nose, obviously having sustained serious injuries.

Once the Earth Rock Holy Steed had put some distance between itself and Lei Yao, it finally stopped.

It turned its head to look at Lei Yao, a fiery rage in its eyes; if not for its strong defense, that fall could have cost it its fighting power.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed didn't dare be careless, emitting a scream while dense Earth Element swiftly gathered around it.

The Earth Element seemed to be drawn towards it, covering its body surface. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of Rock Armor enveloped its frame.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh, it seemed the opponent was scared of being thrown.

Zhang Yuyan watched Chu Chen's demeanor, her face turning ugly. She bit her lip, contemplating how to teach the other side a lesson.

Chu Chen's Guardian Beast had incredible close combat strength, and after several probes, the Earth Rock Holy Steed was at a disadvantage. The only plan now was to attempt breaking the stalemate with long-range attacks.

With this thought, Leng Ningshuang immediately ordered the Earth Rock Holy Steed to attack.

The Earth Rock Holy Steed let out an angry scream, lifting its front hooves as dense Earth Element swiftly gathered towards them.

A bright earthy yellow glow emanated from its front hooves, and then they slammed down heavily.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen's expression turned solemn. The earthy yellow glow on the hooves quickly sank into the stage and began spreading from the point of impact.

In the blink of an eye, the spread reached Lei Yao's feet, and an astonishing sight unfolded as numerous yard-long earth spikes erupted from the ground.

Seeing this, Lei Yao was astonished, its legs powering into a swift dodge. However, the earth spikes seemed to have a mind of their own, chasing Lei Yao relentlessly.

This made Lei Yao extremely angry, letting out a roar as dense Thunder Element rapidly gathered into its right fist, its right arm instantly bulging with strength.

Lei Yao raised its right fist, striking the ground fiercely. With a "boom," the solid stage was left with a large crater, and the hidden Earth Element within the stage was dispersed by the punch.

Leng Ningshuang's face turned even darker; from the situation, the opponent's displayed strength was even greater than that of the Earth Rock Holy Steed. To win, she'd have to reveal all her trump cards.

With this in mind, she didn't hesitate any longer, but kindly offered a warning before the reveal: "I'm going to use my full strength; be careful."

Chu Chen nodded in acknowledgment, "Thank you, then I will use my full strength as well."

As their words fell, the two beasts let out simultaneous roars, with dense Earth and Thunder Elements rapidly converging onto the stage, and the aura of both beasts began to surge wildly.
