The lightning ball was only a hair away from hitting Fusioned Alan.

  But at this moment, something totally unexpected suddenly happened in the battle arena.

  The moment that the lightning ball was about to hit Fusioned Alan, Fusioned Alan immediately turned into two entities a man and a boar.

  The timing of the separation was very good. Because of this separation, Alan successfully avoided the disaster and was still able to continue to battle.

  " That's close!" Alan sighed a relief.

  He had just about to be hospitalized once again, so when he could escape that attack, he felt a big burden had been lifted.

  Alan and the Emperor Fire boar's eyes met again, returning to the fusion state.

  Forced separation and fusion might take a small amount of energy, but it was a lot better than being hospitalized.

  " I can't be playing around anymore."

  An extremely hot golden flame burst out of Alan's body with a snap, instantly wrapping Alan.

  The floor in the battle arena began to melt under this hot temperature, and even Rin's Qilin was not in a better condition.

  "This is?" Rin's complexion changed, and before she could think of any countermeasure for this hot temperature, the other party had already made a corresponding counterattack.

  *BOOM*

  Fusioned Alan rushed in the direction of the Qilin. He raised his feet high into the sky and was ready to kick the Qilin.

  " Qilin, Lightning step!"

  Unfortunately for Alan, Rin wouldn't let him do what he wanted that easily.

  With the Lightning step, Qilin's speed rose to a whole new tier, and he successfully avoided Alan's kick.

  Nonetheless, it was only the start of the battle.

  The red and Blue light kept flashing in the battle arena as Alan and the Qilin were on a chasing battle.

  The Qilin, who knew he would be disadvantaged in close combat, kept trying to maintain their distance and attacked from afar, while Alan tried his best to get close to the Qilin.

  Alan's body had some scorched mark from the thunder attack, but his attack was relentless.

  " Blazing fist!"

  " Lightning strike!"

  Fire and lightning clashed once again in the battle arena.

  Until now, the power of the two attacks was almost equal, and no side could take advantage.

  The Qilins' breath started to get rough.

  On the other side, while his breath was also started to get rough, Alan's state was a lot better than the Qilin.

  Fusion-Armed gave a very big bonus on durability and energy, and this had been played to the max by Alan.

  Soon, the Qilin started to slow down, and Alan knew it was his time.

  He used the flame on his feet to boos his speed and immediately soar to the top of the Qilin.

  " Sorry, but I'm winning this one. Big Fire Ball attack!"

  Alan gathered a huge fireball in his hand and threw it in the direction of Rin's Qilin.

  The fireball was so big that the aftereffect had covered the whole battle arena.

  Everyone could see a big explosion happening above the battle arena, and the sky was now covered with red.

  Among the students, Rin now had her eyes moistened a bit.

  Her pride started to get shaken.

  Even after Ray's buff and her own strength, did they really have no hope against that fusioned state?

  Rin wanted to reject this fact, but the truth was right in front of her eyes.

  She felt her knees weaken, and she was about to fall, but then, she felt a big hand was holding her.

  " Don't give up. We haven't known the result yet."

  Ray caught Rin in his embrace and comforted her.

  And somehow, Ray's words made Rin feel that there is hope.

  The explosion that enveloped the whole battle arena eventually disappeared, and it revealed a figure was lying motionless in the bottom of the arena.

  But to everyone's shock, the figure was not Rin's Qilin like what they had expected before.

  Instead, it was the fusioned Alan.

  Fusioned Alan now had burnt all over her body, and from the looks, it seemed he would need to be hospitalized once again.

  Rin looked at Ray, full of disbelief.

  She knew the capability of her Qilin, and there's no way the Qilin could turn the tide of battle on his own.

  Therefore, the only explanation was that Ray had done something in the battle.

  Seeing Rin look at him like this, Ray only replied with a smile.

  Sometimes being mysterious is also good, and Ray wanted to maintain that mysterious vibes he had on him.

  He didn't answer Rin's curiosity and only congratulated her, making her a bit dissatisfied.

  Still, when she heard the others congratulating her, she knew that Ray did this so as not to take the credit from her, which somehow made her heart warm.

  The first battle of the semifinal had ended, and even though Alan was badly injured, it didn't harm his life that much.

  Alan was brought to the hospital, while the semifinals continued.

  Mia-sensei wanted to go and take care of Alan. But she knew she had the responsibility of hosting the exam, and she couldn't run away from it.

  " Second battle, Haruka Vs. Aiden."

  With a professional on her face, Mia-sensei proceeded to the second battle where Haruka would be battling Aiden.

  The battle between Aiden and Haruka was also good, but compared to the previous battle of Rin and Alan, this battle was very lackluster.

  Aiden was not Rin, and his spirit beast was not heavily countered by Haruka's spirit beast ability.

  The gap between the king and general levels was pretty obvious, and after ten minutes of battle, Aiden was able to come on top.

  If it was before, Aiden would definitely want to be the licking-dong and let Haruka win. But after meeting that woman, Aiden knew that being a licking dog too much would only be counterproductive.

  He must show his manly side, and he would show it by winning the battle against Haruka.
