Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 271

The auxiliaries worked quickly to remove the Big Stone Lurker defeated by Jin's team.

In the stands, even more students from all years, now free from their own trials, discussed the strategy employed with growing enthusiasm. Many scribbled notes in their journals, sketching movement patterns or writing down tactical observations.

Liu had departed before Team Four of Group A entered combat. It wasn't disinterest that motivated him, but quite the opposite: an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.

"Where are you going?" Min had asked upon seeing him rise from his seat.

"To the north stadium," Liu responded. "It's gonna be Zhou Liwei's turn soon."

The name sparked a flash of recognition in Ren's gaze.

"The one with the Silver Steator Vulture," he commented, his mushrooms pulsing with that particular rhythm that appeared when he discussed beast synergy. "Good idea. His approach to combat must be similar to what I suggested for you."

Liu nodded, grateful for his friend's understanding.

"I'll be back for your combat," he promised before hurrying toward the exit.

"Team Four of Group A, prepare to enter," announced the auxiliary, his voice cutting through the excited discussions.

Three students advanced toward the arena, their expressions mixing determination and nervousness like almost all who had come before them. They possessed earth and water beasts, a combination that had already demonstrated certain effectiveness against the monster.

Especially the digging beast, whose claws could potentially penetrate the Stone Lurker's less resistant underbelly.

"They don't have the plant element to exploit the advantage," observed Taro as the students took positions.

"But the combination of their beasts could be sufficient if executed correctly," Ren responded.

When the combat began, the team implemented a strategy similar to what they had seen work: the earth beast began digging tunnels beneath the Big Stone Lurker, while the aquatic creatures saturated the ground with moisture to soften it and then began to restrain the enormous beast.

During the first ten minutes, the strategy seemed promising. The constant skirmishes of the digger and the water erosion began weakening the Stone Lurker's base, creating cracks in its belly.

"They seem close," Taro murmured, leaning forward with interest. "They just need a little more time."

But time proved to be precisely what they lacked. At the twelve-minute mark, the water beasts began showing obvious signs of exhaustion.

"They're losing momentum," Min observed.

"They should have concentrated on a single point or used all their abilities," Ren commented. "They're dispersing their efforts too much and don't seem to know their beasts that well."

As if the Stone Lurker sensed its opponents' weakness, it executed a devastating attack at exactly the right moment.

"Watch out for its crushing move!" Ren shouted from the stands, recognizing the monster's stance shift.

But the warning came too late. As the mole emerged to conduct another skirmish, the Big Stone Lurker struck the ground with brutal force. The impact was a direct hit that eliminated the digger underground.

The two remaining tamers tried to regroup, directing their creatures in one last coordinated effort.

But the Stone Lurker could no longer receive sufficient damage.

Without the ability to continue weakening the structure from below, the water beasts couldn't maintain their offensive. After three more attempts that only slightly widened existing cracks, Yang finally raised his hand.

"Enough," he declared. "The trial concludes."

"Victory for the Big Stone Lurker," Lin announced. "Team Four of Group A, although you didn't defeat the target, you managed to cause significant damage. You will be evaluated accordingly."

The students left the arena with expressions of disappointment but also determination. They had been close, and everyone knew it.
