Jiao Yuanju was unfazed by the crowd's jeers. After all, he'd been the butt of jokes since childhood more times than he could count.

The green snake on his arm affectionately nuzzled against him. It seemed unremarkable, yet he was aware of its evolution.

Phantom Snake. Jiao Yuanju might not have been familiar with the term, but its rarity and value were proof enough of its superiority over other pets.

Jing Mowen sneered, "If you insist on making things hard for yourself, don't blame me for not holding back!"

As he spoke, the Mighty Bear sprawled on the ground, its bulky and plump frame imposing.

"This is the perfect opportunity to test Eoldrai's abilities against this dim-witted bear," Jiao Yuanju mused.

With a gesture, Eoldrai intuitively leaped into the arena. Standing up, its half-meter length looked bizarre next to the black bear. Its purple eyes fixed on the bear with a cold gaze, hissing menacingly.

The audience was already murmuring in astonishment before the battle commenced.

"Doesn't this green snake look somewhat different than usual?"

"Indeed, check out its scales and the patterns on its head. Could it be a variant of the green snake?"

Jing Mowen was indifferent. To him, Jiao Yuanju was simply courting trouble. The role of Class 7's monitor was his and his alone!

His inherent sense of superiority made Jing Mowen dismissive of Eoldrai. He was convinced the Mighty Bear could squash Eoldrai with a mere swipe.

"I'll let you make the first move. I wouldn't want you to say you couldn't handle a loss!"

Jiao Yuanju replied with a smile, "No problem."

Unlike the arrogant and foolish Jing Mowen, Jiao Yuanju was determined to leverage his own strength to vie for the position of class monitor, and he was ready to give it his all.

He silently commanded Eoldrai, "First skill, Fog of Darkness!"

This was its sole dark attribute skill. Jiao Yuanju had never encountered a dark attribute pet before, but he understood that the Fog of Darkness was an ideal skill for obscuring vision.

As expected, Eoldrai's belly swelled and it unleashed a massive cloud of black mist into the arena. Within seconds, the mist enshrouded the Mighty Bear.

Pei Chang was taken aback, "What kind of skill is that?"

Concerned for the students' safety, he swiftly activated the mini energy shield at the edge of the arena, a standard feature in every Combat Pet Academy. As the pale blue shield enveloped the space, it silenced all noise, leaving only the Battle Arena visible to onlookers.

"What's happening?"

Jing Mowen shouted in alarm. His sight was completely obscured by the dark mist expelled by Eoldrai, leaving the Combat Pet Master disoriented.

Jing Mowen rued his decision to let Jiao Yuanju strike first. Despite his impaired vision, he was aware of the arena's confines and certain that Jiao Yuanju had nowhere to hide.

"Mighty Bear, Explosive Attack!"

With no other option, Jing Mowen commanded the Mighty Bear to pound the ground with raw power, causing it to charge blindly through the fog.

Jiao Yuanju couldn't help but feel elated. He recognized Jing Mowen's overconfidence. The phantom snake was too elusive, and the Mighty Bear was effectively blind in the fog. Only he and Eoldrai remained unaffected, making the Mighty Bear an easy mark!
