The power displayed by the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling had completely conquered the tourists below the stage.
A High Extraordinary Level Pet Beast defeating a High Commander Level opponent while at full health—what kind of absurd monster was this?!
Even if this was just an exhibition match, and Jiang Xing had deliberately arranged for it to fight a dual fire-earth Pet Beast that countered it fourfold, it was still outrageous—
If you didn't believe it, then go ahead and send another High Extraordinary Level Pet Beast to fight a High Commander Level Pet Beast with a fourfold elemental advantage and see what happens.
It would beat the shit out of your Pet Beast.
And honestly, even if the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling had lost, it still wouldn't have affected its status in the hearts of the tourists.
This was a domain-type Pet Beast—a true team core!
Just this Talent alone guaranteed that it would never become unpopular. It would absolutely become a priority choice for countless water-element Beast Tamers.
Not to mention that this thing could stack with weather effects, creating double teamwide buffs!
Ink Realm + rain together instantly turned it into the strictest father of the fire element.
At that moment, no one knew how many fire-element Beast Tamers in the audience were feeling despair.
If they ever ran into this thing in an official match...
Dad!
Well, that was exactly what the opposing Professional Beast Tamer, Sun Huo, was currently thinking—
Big brother, please stop publishing papers. If this thing spreads, fire-element teams are never going to survive again.
Jiang Xing couldn't hear other people's inner thoughts, but he could roughly guess what everyone was thinking.
From his perspective, though, the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling was still alright—not nearly as outrageous as the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling.
After all, while the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling was powerful, it mainly targeted fire-element opponents. In lower-level competitions, it didn't possess truly overwhelming dominance.
Even in high-level tournaments, it would never become unbeatable.
Because whether it was Ink Realm or rainy weather, both affected allies and enemies alike.
If the opponent also used a water-element team, not only would they avoid being weakened, they could even freeload off the buffs.
And because the effects were indiscriminate, they would also weaken non-water and non-phoenix Pet Beasts on Jiang Xing's own side, practically locking it into water-phoenix compositions.
Once someone built a pure water team, naturally they would also become vulnerable to Beast Tamers specializing in other elements.
It could only be said that there were pros and cons. It was impossible for it to truly dominate the competitive scene.
On top of that, Ugly Waterfowl themselves were already extremely rare. And evolving into an Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling required exceptionally harsh conditions...
It wasn't enough to shake the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling's position.
Right now, Rainbow Dragon Hatchlings were already starting to outnumber dogs. In the future, it wouldn't even be impossible for them to become China's "national household Pet Beast."
If anything wanted to rival them, not only did it need to be strong—it also needed to breed well.
Of course, that being said—
With the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling's Talent and growth potential, becoming the ace Pet Beast of a water-element Champion Beast Tamer would definitely not be a problem.
And no matter what, the title of "Fire Element's Dad" was absolutely unavoidable.
"Let us once again give our sincere thanks to Mr. Sun Huo for bringing us such an exciting exhibition match!!"
As Jiang Xing spoke, enthusiastic applause erupted below the stage.
The tourists looked at Sun Huo, their faces filled with sympathy.
Getting countered that badly really did deserve some applause of consolation.
Sun Huo also used medicine to heal the Lava Giant Lizard, recalled it into his contract space, then gave the audience a slight bow before leaping down from the stage.
Jiang Xing continued speaking.
"Next, let us invite our second Professional Beast Tamer onto the stage to bring us another equally exciting exhibition match!"
There was another exhibition match?
Amid the audience's surprised gazes, another Beast Tamer jumped onto the stage.
He raised his hand. A flash of white light appeared, releasing a cyan-blue colt with wings, which let out a long neigh.
The Wind-Riding Horse—a wind-element Pet Beast.
Since it wasn't fire-element, it wouldn't be affected by the rainy weather, nor would it suffer elemental suppression from water-element attacks.
However, the moment it landed on the stage, it was immediately stained by the ink-colored environment. Its condition visibly declined, and its aura weakened considerably.
Seeing this scene, the tourists all widened their eyes, their heartbeats quickening.
Could it be...?
Sure enough, Jiang Xing began explaining.
"The Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling's Talent transforms the surrounding area into a special environment known as the Ink Realm."
"Within this environment, it's not just fire-element power—aside from time, space, and dragon-element abilities, all other powers are greatly weakened!"
"Meanwhile, water-element and phoenix-element powers receive massive enhancement!"
"This is its Ultimate Color!"
"!?!?"
Time and space attributes were extremely rare, usually appearing only among species at the Overlord Tier or above.
Under normal circumstances, they were excluded from discussions entirely.
In other words...
In front of the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling, every other attribute was automatically inferior by one level.
Only dragon-element Pet Beasts were qualified to stand on equal footing with it!
So this was the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling's Ultimate Color?!
Wasn't this way too domineering?!
At that moment, the tourists were left with only a single thought.
I need to build a water-phoenix team immediately!
"Of course, as environmental effects, both Ink Realm and rainy weather can also affect its teammates."
"So let the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling rest for a bit first."
"Let its companions have their chance to shine as well."
As Jiang Xing spoke, Inky flapped its wings and landed beside him.
The Mysticfeather Peacock then stepped into the arena and spread its wings.
Its Shining Entrance Talent activated. Even beneath the Ink Realm, its feathers still radiated strange and dazzling colors, completely engraving themselves into the tourists' memories.
...
The second Pet Beast to take the stage, the Wind-Riding Horse, was far weaker than the Lava Giant Lizard, possessing only a Low Commander Level Power Level.
However, without elemental suppression, it displayed far greater pressure than the Lava Giant Lizard. Combined with its flying ability, it caused considerable trouble for the Mysticfeather Peacock.
In the end, relying on the environmental effects and the weakening provided by its Talent, the Mysticfeather Peacock barely secured victory.
After its battle ended, the Clouddown Bird also entered the stage and contributed a match of its own.
Once the three exhibition matches were over, the showcase segment was basically finished.
After all, whether it was the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling, the Mysticfeather Peacock, or the Clouddown Bird, none of them were particularly skilled at combat.
And Jiang Xing himself did not have much energy to devote to combat training for them.
So his goal had simply been to display their Talents.
And after three exhibition matches, that goal had clearly been perfectly achieved. The tourists now fully understood the Talents of all three Pet Beasts.
Especially the Abyssal Water Phoenix Fledgling's Talent—it could practically be called the greatest gain they had obtained from attending this conference!
Afterward, Jiang Xing arranged for Inky and the others to perform a charm showcase and dance routine.
Well, compared to fighting, Inky and the others preferred showing themselves off and freely releasing their charm.
If you asked why, it was because after getting addicted to seducing wild Pet Beasts before, they now loved the feeling of being intensely watched by huge crowds.
Even the Clouddown Birds had already overcome the effects of their Ugliness Talent and were no longer so timid and withdrawn. Following behind Inky and the Mysticfeather Peacock, they twisted and swayed along as they danced enthusiastically.
They danced with incredible excitement. Listening to the cheers and applause from below the stage, they became happier and happier the more they danced. They even flew down from the stage to interact closely with the tourists...
Then, once this batch of tourists left, a new batch came up.
And the same process repeated again.
Exhibition matches. Dance performances.
This time, without any assistants helping, Jiang Xing had no way to slack off and had to remain on stage explaining everything the entire time.
Nobody knew how much time had passed before the first half of the event finally came to an end.
