“Really giving up?”
Upon hearing Ran Xu and Qiao Li concede their loss, Zhou Yan instinctively twisted her neck, suddenly looking at Bai Qi, she said, “How about it, Bai Qi, want to have another round?”
“I refuse!”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the suggestion. A Four Stage against a Three Stage, who had to fight six enemies on his own, was like slicing through melons and chopping up vegetables. Had she the nerve to challenge him at the Second Stage?
Moreover, once defeated, he would have ended up like Bai Qiucha, who was pursued and beaten every day.
He preferred not to make these kinds of arrangements.
“Bai Qi, Zhou Yan VS Ran Xu, Qiao Li, Bai Qi, Zhou Yan win.”
Zhang Shan’s cold voice sounded from above the arena, and the defeated Ran Xu and Qiao Li were teleported out directly.
“This wouldn’t be another advancement rule, would it?”
Seeing the two of them left behind, Bai Qi had some speculation in his heart. Zhou Yan, too, was silently waiting for the appearance of the next batch of enemies without releasing her attached state.
Bang!
Finally, the ground of the arena shook, and their enemies for the next round finally appeared.
However, it was not other students they had anticipated, but a towering minotaur standing three times their height.
[Name]: Earthshaking Bull Demon
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Lord
Roar!
As soon as the Earthshaking Bull Demon appeared, it spotted Bai Qi and Zhou Yan across from it. Madness flashed in its bloodshot eyes, and its muscular arm slammed heavily into the ground, unleashing an invisible ripple that spread toward the two.
“Dodge it!”
Seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately leapt into the air to avoid the shock wave, while Bai Qi, with Alpha’s help, evaded the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s attack.
Launching an unprovoked attack on humans upon sight, it was clear this Earthshaking Bull Demon was a ferocious beast, not a tamed pet beast!
Watching the two evade its attack, the Earthshaking Bull Demon plunged its hands deep into the ground, pulling out a pillar of rock and charging at them once again.
In response, Zhou Yan had no more time for light-hearted chatter with Bai Qi. She brandished her spear and faced the Earthshaking Bull Demon head-on, only to be flung away by it.
This Earthshaking Bull Demon was at least at the Four Stage!
Watching Zhou Yan being sent flying so easily, Bai Qi quickly estimated the level of the Earthshaking Bull Demon. Having Alpha place himself in a safe location, he commanded Alpha to join the battle.
In facing an actual combat situation, Zhang Shan played his game of words quite well.
Inside the assembly hall.
A large screen suddenly appeared in the otherwise empty hall, showing footage of the first-round winners battling various fierce beasts.
“You had me catch so many ferocious beasts for this?”
Luo Xiang placed his right hand on Zhang Shan’s shoulder, watching young Beast Masters on the screen fighting each beast with a cornered look, he joked, “Aren’t you afraid of exhausting them? Your teacher won’t let you off just because you’re a member of the Schizonepeta Tower-”
Zhang Shan gave Luo Xiang a cold glance and slapped his arm away from his shoulder. “I reported the actual combat training plan to the president long ago. If there are any problems, they would be your responsibility as the beast catcher.”
Luo Xiang was momentarily stunned before he cursed, “Damn you, Zhang Shan, you set me up!”
Zhang Shan gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and ignored Luo Xiang, who likewise got serious and began to observe the battles closely.
“Do you think these youngsters can defeat their opponents?”
Zhang Shan shook his head, saying, “Probably not. The ferocious beasts I arranged for them, whether in growth level or bloodline level, are higher than theirs. Moreover, the combat power of ferocious beasts is higher than that of pet beasts. Unless they have received similar training before, there is no chance forthem towin.”
Luo Xiang nodded upon hearing this and then his eyes fell on the screen where Bai Qi was. His mouth curled into a smirk as he said, “I think perhaps someone can win.”
Zhang Shan furrowed his brow and asked, “You mean that Bai Qi? The Earthshaking Bull Demon is one of the strongest among these beasts. I don’t think they stand a chance.”
His first impression of Bai Qi was average. Although his nurturing of his pet beast was indeed good, those who could only win by trickery would not fare well in a battle against ferocious beasts.
Watching Zhang Shan’s expression, Luo Xiang revealed a mischievous grin. “How about we place another bet?”
“Sure.”
“A month’s worth of meals.”
“Two months.”
“Deal!”
In the arena.
Zhou Yan pushed aside the rubble on her body, looked at the raging Earthshaking Bull Demon in front of her, and couldn’t help but curse, “They even use ferocious beasts to fight. The headquarters sure knows how to play.”
No matter the cursing, the excitement on Zhou Yan’s face grew.
“But now, I don’t have to worry about getting punished for brawling, right!”
Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, Bai Qi was momentarily speechless.
Did that mean she had been restraining herself in daily life? Was she about to unleash her full potential?
Zhou Yan walked to the center of the arena, where the blue array appeared again, and a Pegasus cloaked in blue flames materialized.
[Name]: Ghost Flame Pegasus
[Nature]: Fire attribute, Flying System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
Zhou Yan mounted the horse, and the ghostly flames on the Ghost Flame Pegasus spread across Zhou Yan’s body, turning the fire on Zhou Yan into blue. “Big dumb bull, let’s have another round!”
Zhou Yan roared at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, drawing its attention, and then led the Ghost Flame Pegasus to charge over.
Roar!
Upon seeing Zhou Yan daring to approach, the Earthshaking Bull Demon once again ignored Alpha, the weaker one, and swung the rock column towards the ground.
Cracks…
A trench suddenly appeared on the ground, and quickly spread towards Zhou Yan.
[Skill Name]: Crevasse
[Skill Level]: Mid-Level
[Skill Description]: Rips the surface, forms a huge crevasse, and causes dizziness to nearby enemies.
The crevasse moved quickly, but Zhou Yan was evidently prepared. The wings of the Pegasus flapped, and it flew up immediately, charging straight towards the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon saw this and immediately tried to lift the rock column to counterattack, but the Pegasus was too fast. Before it could lift the rock column, Zhou Yan’s spear was already aiming for its eyes.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon’sbody was protected by rock armor, its only weakness was the eyes. With Zhou Yan’s battle experience, he naturally knew what to do.
Seeing this, the Earthshaking Bull Demon immediately gave up on the rock column. It stomped hard with its right foot, and rock spikes extended from the ground, stabbing straight towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan saw this and didn’t dodge, but instead thrust his spear forcefully. A stream of blue fire spurted from the tip of the spear, quickly charging at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
Once burned by this ghost flame, even if the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s double level was higher than Zhou Yan’s, it could not easily dissolve it.
Roar!
At that moment, the Earthshaking Bull Demon let out a sudden roar. The deafening wave of sound was transmitted directly into Zhou Yan’s ears. Even though Zhou Yan was infused with Soul of the General, he felt dizzy.
Then, a strong gravitational force came from the ground, forcibly pulling him towards the ground’s rock spikes.
Soundwave Control Skill and Gravitational Control!
This time, it’s over!
Zhou Yan immediately realized that he had been trapped by the Earthshaking Bull Demon, quickly dissipated the Ghost Flame Pegasus, and concentrated all his Spirit Power onto the Soul of the General to block this attack.
“Alpha, Shadow Lotus Skill!”
At that moment, Bai Qi’s voice suddenly came from behind him. Zhou Yan then saw countless crystal bone spurs wrapped with Shadow Department Power drilling out from the ground, directly shattering the ground’s rock spikes and shooting towards the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
The Earthshaking Bull Demon’s attention was all on Zhou Yan, and it didn’t notice the appearance of these bone spurs. It was unexpectedly covered by the Shadow Lotus Skill, and Zhou Yan also immediately broke free of the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s soundwave control, quickly distancing himself.
“Thankyou, I almost fell into this bull’s trap.”
Zhou Yan cautiously looked at the Earthshaking Bull Demon, who was like a bud wrapped in crystal flowers, and was increasingly convinced that it was a pure beast without any trace of human captivity.
Wherever place it lived, if it was more comfortable, the Earthshaking Bull Demon’s fighting method would not be so skilled.
“You rest and recover first, I’ll stall it for a while.”
Bai Qi handed a bottle of God’s Water to Zhou Yan, and then commanded Alpha to initiate another attack.
Although it was blocked by the Shadow Department Power, Bai Qi was sure that it couldn’t hurt the Earthshaking Bull Demon at all, at most it could trap it for a while.
But, that was enough.
“Alpha, try that move.”
Clinks and clanks?
(Are you sure, master?)
“I’m sure!”
Alpha nodded, its whole skeletal structure twisted quickly, initiating its most significant change ever since Bai Qi contracted it.
The leg bones wrapped around each other quickly, gradually forming a large base. The upper body constantly sprouted arms, gathering like a disc behind Alpha.
However, the front ends of these arms were not hands, but dragon heads.
Bang!
At the same time that Alpha transformed, the Earthshaking Bull Demon also broke free from the Shadow Lotus Skill’s control. Its red eyes quickly locked onto Alpha, the horn on its head shining with a light-yellow glow, it charged straight at Alpha.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately wanted to stop his recovery and block it, but was stopped by Bai Qi.
“Do you know how the Cavalry Era was ended?”
Zhou Yan was puzzled by the sudden question. He had no idea why Bai Qi would bring up such a topic at a time like this. Meanwhile, Alpha had already initiated its attack.
Da! Da! Da!
At the moment the Earthshaking Bull Demon charged, nearly a thousand dragon heads on Alpha’s back began spewing blue flames. Within these flames, numerous crystal bullets shot directly at the Earthshaking Bull Demon.
“What the, what…”
Watching the Earthshaking Bull Demon stopped by the crystal bullets and witnessing the wounds corrode one by one, Zhou Yan was stunned. Meanwhile, Bai Qi looked quite satisfied.
May the Gatling Bodhisattva, The Dying Bullet of Six Pure Roots, fire thirty-six hundred times in a breath, with great mercy and compassion, deliver the Bull Demon!
