The fifth team of group A entered the arena with evident confidence.
The three students, with two wood beasts and one water beast, took advantage of the elemental advantage similar to the third team. Although they only had Iron-level creatures, the combination proved devastating for the Big Stone Lurker.
The wood element systematically absorbed the vitality of the rocky monster while the water beast enhanced the plants' power.
The battle, relatively easy and straightforward, lacked the surprise factor or strategy that previous combats had shown.
"Victory for Team Five of Group A," announced Yang when the beast finally died. "Time: five minutes, thirty-two seconds."
"They almost matched Jin's time," Min commented.
"Almost," Taro emphasized. "Jin keeps the record by twenty seconds."
Ren observed with an unsatisfied expression. "The elemental advantage was significant. They could have easily surpassed Jin, but their execution was mediocre."
