Chapter 653: 647: Red Lotus Phoenix
Their next match happened to be against Phoenix Colledge, and naturally, he wouldn’t choose to let Rainbow participate since he could win in the most stable way possible.
With an actual combat test, Jackson Grant had no objections.
So, they practiced together several times and played a few training matches in the afternoon.
After witnessing the formidable power of the Destiny Dragondoll, Jackson Grant couldn’t help but give David Jones a thumbs-up.
“It’s still you, captain!”
The next day, the national Beastmaster Cooperation semifinals officially began.
Backstage in the resting room.
David Jones’s gaze slowly swept over his teammates who had been winning continuously alongside him.
“All you need to do is give me your Arcane Force, there’s no need to fear its depletion, as the battle could potentially end in an instant!”
“Understood!” his teammates responded in unison.
David Jones nodded slightly, walked down the player’s corridor illuminated by the increasingly bright lights, then, accompanied by his teammates and introduced by the host, stepped onto the platform to the hysterical cheers and support of the audience below!
“Rosewood College will win!”
“God David is invincible!”
Looking at the excited faces in the crowd, David Jones smiled confidently. He did not suppress the excitement boiling in his blood and slowly crossed his arms, enjoying the surging atmosphere that intensified the surrounding cheers even more.
“There’s a murderous intent, it seems that God David is getting serious!” an audience member, who claimed to be a ten-year fan of David Jones, said.
“Yes, I recognize that smile, it appeared during the Myrtle List battle…”
Just at that moment, the ambiance on the stage suddenly changed.
David Jones turned his head to the right to see Bella Wanton, wearing the Phoenix Colledge uniform, leading the way at the forefront, with six silent teammates behind her who looked very serious.
On the dry and hot desert plain, David Jones and Bella Wanton looked at each other.
“This time it’s actually a scorching desert arena, which is downright nasty for an Ice type like the Frost Wyvern. I wonder if God David will choose to change his Pet?”
“Tsk, a Class VI Frost Wyvern can completely alter the terrain environment, a mere desert is nothing!”
“Indeed, in the face of absolute strength, sheer luck hardly plays a role.”
As the judge’s voice rang out, the guard of the desert Battle Platform slowly rose, isolating all the noisy discussions from the spectator stands.
“Ten seconds to summon pets, please prepare in advance,” the judge said.
As the judge’s words fell, fourteen different splendid lights shone brightly, among which the two bright and majestic golden lights were the most eye-catching.
Seeing this, the onsite commentator’s eyes widened, “Inconceivable, player Bella Wanton has actually broken through to Class VI, Rosewood College’s team is in danger!”
…
“A Class VI Red Lotus Phoenix!!!”
The moment Bella Wanton’s Pet appeared, Fred Hoyle’s gaze slightly hardened, then revealed an expression of someone enjoying the impending drama.
The Red Lotus Phoenix, being an extremely rare Overlord type Beast, was known as the strongest among the Fire Overlord Beasts, simply because it possessed the Red Lotus Fire that could incinerate opponents completely, famously known as the never-extinguishing red lotus fire.
Even though his Pet, the Greenwood Dragon, had Fire, Wood, and Dragon types and was quite resistant to Fire type skills, it was still utterly dominated by the Red Lotus Phoenix.

“If you lose this match, I’d love to see how you’re going to explain it to the school’s senior management,” Fred Hoyle said with a touch of schadenfreude.
At this moment, Fred Hoyle was the student from Rosewood College who least wanted to see Rosewood College win the championship. In fact, he was quite eager to witness Rosewood’s crushing defeat, all because he was not part of the competing team.
“Fried Noodles Without MSG: Holy shit, this is the first time in my life I’m seeing a Class VI Phoenix!”
“Sandwich Milk Candy: The Red Lotus Phoenix is not a Phoenix, it just looks similar to one, and it has the chance to evolve into a Phoenix!”
“Two and a Half Year Trainer: The person above is right, an Emperor species like the Undying Phoenix can possess ‘eternal life’ and ‘rebirth from death’ as its Species Skills. It is a beast on par with Phoenixes!”
The might of the Phoenix made many spectators feel that the situation for the Rosewood College team was very dire and not looking good!
…
On the Battle Platform, the Red Lotus Phoenix let out a piercing cry, and without even exuding its Domination aura, the fire-type Pets below all bowed their heads in submission, radiating a bold sense of unrivaled dominance.
Seeing this, Daphne flew up to the same height as the Red Lotus Phoenix, her eyes calm and as radiant as the sun.
Besides David Jones and her teammates, she always disliked looking up at her opponents from below.
Even if the opponent was some poor excuse for a Phoenix!
Perceiving the aura of fire emanating from Daphne, the Phoenix, thinking of itself as the ruler of fire, fanned its brilliant wings, unleashing a breathtaking display of Phoenix power, trying to suppress the unbowed figure before it.
The scorching red lotus fire also erupted at this moment, carrying an imperiousness to turn any non-conformers to ashes.
However, the next second, to the Phoenix’s surprise, the other side not only did not feel discomfort or intimidation but even showed a hint of pleasure on their face.
What’s going on?
The entirely red Phoenix, with its multicolored tail feathers, looked shocked.
On the other side, David Jones gazed at the perfectly poised firebird in the sky with a trace of amazement in his eyes.
They said that Phoenixes, crowned with feathers and cloaked in colorful plumage, were the kings of all birds, but the Red Lotus Phoenix before him, with feathers like dazzling gems and a body exuding golden flames, was barely any less magnificent.
“Pet Name”: Red Lotus Phoenix
“Pet Type”: Fire, Wind
“Species Level”: Epic Overlord
“Grade”: Class VI lower-level
“Species Skill”: red lotus fire, Undying Body, Undying Nirvana, Red Lotus Demon Burning Circle, Evil Slaying Wind, Burning Flame Feather Song, Overlord Domination
“Pet Profile”: The Red Lotus Phoenix feeds on the milk of the universe and will gather a large amount of legendary mesona into its nest every five hundred years to burn itself in Nirvana. After successfully undergoing Nirvana three times, it can transform into an Eternal Phoenix. Consuming it grants Beastmasters a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
David Jones’ pupils suddenly constricted.
What caught his attention was not the Phoenix’s Class VI lower-level Cultivation but the terrifying fact that consuming it after its advanced state could grant a lifespan of tens of thousands of years!
David Jones didn’t know if there were any legendary beings within the Flowery Kingdom capable of seeing detailed information about the Phoenix through the Spirit Eye as he could. If possible, the Harrisons and the Wantons of Flame City would indeed be a terrifyingly huge force.
Seeing the surprise on David Jones’ face, Bella Wanton’s fighting spirit surged as she declared, “I have to admit, when it comes to Talent, you are far ahead of me, but today I will completely defeat you on this platform!”
The precious four years for a Talent are completely different from those wasted by an ordinary Trainer.
David Jones had managed to bridge a four-year gap to stand on the same stage with her, and even Bella Wanton, confident in her exceptional Talent, couldn’t help but marvel at his prodigious Talent.
If she had not had the full support of her family, she might have had to surrender with regret like Jane Pauline, trying her best to improve her school’s ranking in subsequent competitions.
