Legendary Beastmaster Zhang Deshuai

Chapter 17: Advance to the quarterfinals

Soon the next day came, and Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian came to the stadium together in high spirits.

The atmosphere on the field was heated and tense. They stood in the crowd, feeling both excited and a little nervous.

Following the host's announcement, the draw for the 32-to-16 match officially began. Zhang Deshuai took a deep breath and stepped forward to draw his own number. Lin Youqian also drew his number shortly afterwards.

The two looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

"No matter who we draw, we must go all out!" Zhang Deshuai said in a low voice.

"Yes, we can do it!" Lin Youqian nodded vigorously.

They brought their respective beasts to prepare for the upcoming competition. The Qilin held its head high and chest out, as if it couldn't wait to show its strength; the Ice Spider lay quietly on the side, ready to attack at any time; the Rock Snake swam on the ground, exuding a powerful aura; and the Lucky Cat also looked particularly energetic.

Soon the game started, Zhang Deshuai looked at his opponent, a delicate little girl, and couldn't help but underestimate her. But when he saw the opponent summoned a turtle and a flame wolf, he immediately put away his contempt.

As soon as the battle started, the Earth Turtle quickly retracted into its shell, forming a solid line of defense, while the Fire Wolf spewed flames from its mouth and attacked Zhang Deshuai.

Zhang Deshuai commanded the Kirin to spit out flames, which collided with the flames of the Flame Wolf, and flames spread everywhere. The Ice Demon Spider also quickly spit out spider silk, trying to trap the Earth Turtle and the Flame Wolf.

The little girl was not to be outdone. She controlled the Earth Turtle and the Fire Wolf to constantly change tactics, and fought back and forth with Zhang Deshuai.

On the field, the two sides fought back and forth, the battle was extremely fierce. The Qilin's flames became more fierce, and the Ice Demon Spider's silk became more tricky.

On the court, Zhang Deshuai's eyes were fixed on the little girl on the opposite side and her turtle and flame wolf.

The flame wolf spewed out blazing flames from its mouth, and it rushed towards Zhang Deshuai's Qilin like a fire dragon. The Qilin roared to the sky, and blazing flames also spewed out of its mouth, colliding violently with the flames of the flame wolf in the air, bursting out dazzling light and blazing air waves.

The earth turtle took slow but firm steps, with a yellowish-earth light shining on its body. Solid earth walls rose from the ground, trying to block Zhang Deshuai's attack.

The Ice Demon Spider was not afraid of these things. It jumped flexibly and spit out cold spider silk. The spider silk shot towards the earth wall like ice arrows. The moment it came into contact with the earth wall, it froze the earth wall and left cracks.

Seeing this, the Flame Wolf flashed and rushed towards the Ice Demon Spider like lightning. The Ice Demon Spider dodged swiftly and wove a huge ice net around it. The Flame Wolf accidentally broke into the ice net and was immediately frozen and slowed down.

At this moment, Qilin seized the opportunity and flew towards the earth turtle. The flames on its body burned more fiercely. The earth turtle hurriedly shrank into its shell, but Qilin continued to burn the shell with flames.

The little girl looked solemn, and she was fully commanding the Earth Turtle and the Flame Wolf. The Earth Turtle suddenly released a powerful earth energy from its shell, which pushed the Kirin back a few steps. The Flame Wolf also broke free from the ice net and attacked again.

The Ice Demon Spider took the opportunity to spit out a huge cloud of ice mist, which enveloped the Flame Wolf, and the Flame Wolf's movements were restricted again. The Qilin roared, and the flames on his body were like a volcano...

On the battlefield, the battle between Zhang Deshuai and the little girl became increasingly fierce.

The Flame Wolf was like a burning whirlwind, constantly pouncing on Zhang Deshuai and his beasts, while the Earth Turtle was like a steady mountain, holding the line of defense.

The Qilin roared towards the sky, and the flames on its body rolled like raging waves. It rushed towards the Flame Wolf, and the two collided violently in the air. The flames intertwined to form a gorgeous sea of ​​fire.

The Ice Demon Spider was not to be outdone. It flexibly shuttled through the battlefield, and spider silk continuously shot out like silver threads, sometimes wrapping around the limbs of the Flame Wolf, and sometimes weaving a complex ice web around the Earth Turtle.

Zhang Deshuai was concentrating on commanding the Qilin and the Ice Demon Spider, and every instruction was just right.

In the long battle, Qilin and Ice Demon Spider gradually gained the upper hand. Qilin's flames became more and more fierce, suppressing the Flame Wolf and forcing it to retreat step by step. The Ice Demon Spider seized the opportunity and hit the Earth Turtle with a strand of extremely cold spider silk, which instantly slowed down the movement of the Earth Turtle.

There was a flash of determination in Zhang Deshuai's eyes, and he shouted: "Now!" Qilin and Ice Demon Spider burst out with their strongest power like soldiers who had received orders.

The Qilin opened its mouth and a ball of extremely hot flames gushed out, directly hitting the Flame Wolf, who screamed and fell to the ground. The Ice Demon Spider took the opportunity to use spider silk to tightly bind the Earth Turtle, making it unable to move.

Finally, with Zhang Deshuai's unremitting efforts, he successfully defeated the little girl's Earth Turtle and Flame Wolf.

The audience burst into warm cheers, Zhang Deshuai, Qilin and Ice Demon Spider stood proudly on the field, and they successfully advanced to the top 16.

Zhang Deshuai slowly left the court, his face showing the joy of victory and a hint of fatigue. When he saw Lin Youqian who was also very excited not far away, his heart was filled with joy.

Lin Youqian ran towards Zhang Deshuai with a smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Haha, Zhang Deshuai, we all advanced!"

Zhang Deshuai smiled and nodded, and reached out his hand to high-five Lin Youqian to celebrate. The laughter of the two echoed in the air. At this moment, they were sincerely happy for each other's success.

Afterwards, they returned to their residence side by side. Along the way, the two excitedly discussed every detail of today's game and looked forward to tomorrow's quarterfinals.

"Zhang Deshuai, you can't let your guard down tomorrow. Our opponent will definitely be stronger." Lin Youqian said seriously.

"Don't worry, we will do our best." Zhang Deshuai responded firmly.

After returning to their residence, Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian did not slack off at all and immediately plunged into intensive preparations. They carefully analyzed the possible opponents they might encounter and formulated various response strategies.

The Qilin and the Ice Demon Spider were also quietly recovering their strength on the side. They seemed to have sensed the upcoming challenge.

Zhang Deshuai looked at Lin Youqian who was preparing seriously, and a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart. He secretly vowed to perform at his best in tomorrow's game and move towards higher goals together with Lin Youqian.

Time quickly came to this crucial day, and Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian arrived at the court early.

They stood in the middle of the arena, looking around, feeling the tense and warm atmosphere. Zhang Deshuai took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination and expectation.

"Lin Youqian, we have to show all our strength today." Zhang Deshuai said.

"Of course, we will definitely advance successfully!" Lin Youqian clenched his fists tightly.

At this time, Qilin and Ice Demon Spider were eager to try, and they also felt their master's inner desire and determination.

Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian began their final warm-up and preparation. They kept adjusting their condition and going over various tactics in their minds over and over again.

The number of spectators around gradually increased, and everyone was looking forward to this exciting quarter-final qualifying match.

"Today will definitely be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers." Zhang Deshuai said to himself.

As the game time approached, Zhang Deshuai and Lin Youqian's heartbeats gradually quickened, and they were ready to meet this challenge.

Zhang Deshuai looked at the girl and her two pets opposite him, feeling a little solemn. The wind-type Swift Dog was extremely fast and agile, while the light-type healing pet Spirit Deer could provide treatment and assistance to the Swift Dog at any time. This was undoubtedly a very tricky combination.

At the beginning of the game, the Swift Dog rushed towards the Kirin and the Ice Demon Spider like a whirlwind, so fast that it was almost invisible. Zhang Deshuai quickly ordered the Kirin to spit out flames to try to block the Swift Dog's attack, but the Swift Dog evaded flexibly.

The Spirit Deer continuously released healing light from behind, allowing the Wind Dog to always maintain a good condition.

Zhang Deshuai frowned and thought about his countermeasures. He decided to let the Ice Demon Spider use spider silk to set traps to restrict the movement of the Swift Dog.

The Ice Demon Spider moved quickly, weaving its silk threads across the field. The Swift Dog accidentally stepped into a trap, and its movements suddenly became slow.

Zhang Deshuai seized the opportunity and commanded Qilin to launch a fierce attack. However, Lingguanglu treated the Swift Dog in time, allowing it to quickly recover its vitality.

The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides going all out.

Under the exquisite control of the Ice Demon Spider, Qilin finally seized the opportunity and defeated the opponent's two pets in one fell swoop.

The audience burst into warm cheers, and Zhang Deshuai and his teammates hugged each other excitedly. They successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, one step closer to the goal of winning the championship.

Zhang Deshuai looked at the Ice Demon Spider and Qilin with gratitude, his heart filled with pride. He knew that this victory was the result of their joint efforts.

In the next game, Zhang Deshuai will face stronger opponents, but he is full of confidence. He believes that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

Lin Youqian's Rock Snake and Lucky Cat showed unparalleled strength in the arena and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The rock snake's hard body is like an unshakable fortress, and every attack is powerful, making it difficult for the opponent's pet to resist. The lucky cat, with its flexibility and wit, can always give the opponent an unexpected blow at the critical moment.

After the game, Lin Youqian excitedly stroked the rock snake and the lucky cat, his eyes full of pride and joy.

"You guys are awesome, we did it!" Lin Youqian said excitedly.

Zhang Deshuai also walked over with a smile and congratulated Lin Youqian.

"Next, we will face stronger opponents together. Keep going!" Zhang Deshuai encouraged.

However, advancing to the quarterfinals is just a new beginning, and the challenges ahead will be even more daunting.
