Bai Qi looked at the Ghost Dragon, which was broken down by Alpha’s sword, smacking his lips in slight disappointment.
I thought the Martial Soul of Beast Soul Warriors was somewhat special. Turns out it’s no different from the Soul Race, and it could be attacked by the Withering Power.
“Withering Power? That was my carelessness.”
The young man frowned at this and was about to counterattack with the Ghost Dragon, only to find several petite Mechanical Spiders suddenly appearing at his feet.
Woof, woof!
(Art is explosion!)
With Beta’s howl, Mechanical Spiders exploded suddenly, engulfing the boy in smoke.
Seeing Beta’s successful ambush, Bai Qi was not pleased. He balled up his fists to slug Beta, saying, “Foolish dog, who taught you to brag about sneak attacks! You shout after the explosion, not before!”
Uh-huh?
(Who would I announce to if it blew me up too?)
“Record it, and watch it yourself.”
Woof!
(So, that’s also an option!)
Beta’s face was filled with surprise as another door of knowledge had been opened to him, though his attention was quickly caught by a movement obscured by the smoke.
As a gale blew through, the thick smoke dissipated, revealing the figure of the boy encompassed by the Ghost Dragon, apparently suffering no harm.
This situation really seemed to apply the classic law: smoke without harm.
This doesn’t count, right?
Martial Soul True Body?
A loophole?
Hiding oneself within the Martial Soul Body should be deemed cheating!
From inside the Ghost Dragon, the boy looked at Bai Qi, who was wearing a jealous expression, and said, “And here I thought all the Beast Masters of the Federation were just the formulaic nerd types. This is quite interesting…”
“However, if it’s just this, it won’t do much…”
“Ghost Dragon, Curse!”
Roar!
Three black breaths appeared around Alpha, Husky, and Bai Qi as the Ghost Dragon’s eyes flickered black. Without waiting for any reaction, they fell upon them.
In an instant, Bai Qi felt dizzy, his body involuntarily softened, and he almost collapsed on the ground. Meanwhile, the previously spirited Beta seemed to wilt.
“It’s pretty uncomfortable, isn’t it? If it weren’t for the order from above not to harm you, your curse wouldn’t be so light.”
Seeing their condition, the young man nodded with satisfaction. He started to walk towards Bai Qi with the intention of tying him up when all of a sudden a Crystal Longsword whizzed past his scalp. It was Alpha’s Withering Great Sword.
“Impossible! Why is he unaffected?!”
Seeing Alpha completely untouched, the young man was obviously surprised. But after noticing Alpha’s Crystal Bones, he quickly connected the dots.
“Crystal Dragon Bone, that explains it.”
The Crystal Dragon, one of the mightiest dragon kinds, known for its immunity to most negative statuses. Even after death, when it became an undead creature, it maintained its immunity effect, making it normal for it to resist the curse.
Just as the young man was relieved that Alpha was immune to the curse, he started to question everything.
Husky, who was supposed to lose his combat power, was acting as if nothing happened. His body was electrified with thunder and he was surrounded by a number of artillery turrets aimed at the young man.
Schuck, being a member of the Mechanical Engineering Department, was also unresponsive to the curse, additionally, he used Thunder Power to drive out the curse infecting Beta.
But that wasn’t the end of it. After a brief spell of weakness, Bai Qi slowly stood up again.
“How is it possible?!”
Looking at the shocked youngster, Bai Qi grinned and patted the pitch-black Gamma in his arms, feeling more and more justified about his decision to abandon his Flying Pet Beast and contract with Gamma.
As long as it’s in energy form, it can all be absorbed. This is how ridiculously powerful the perfect Energy Absorption is!
“Huh… No wonder he asked me to deal with you; you’re no ordinary Third Stage Beast Master.”
The young man let out a heavy sigh, forcing himself to keep calm, and floated upward inside the Ghost Dragon until he reached its head.
“Now, feel the power of the Dragon Race!”
With a roaring shout from the young boy, the Ghost Dragon also made a move. A cobalt flame spurted from its mouth. It was the dragon’s indispensable skill— Dragon Breath.
“Alpha, Withering Breath, block him!”
Seeing this, Bai Qi didn’t underestimate the situation and immediately had Alpha respond with full force.
Click, click.
(Leave it to me.)
Alpha stuck his sword beside him and opened his mouth, spouting a deep blue breath, as majestic as the Ghost Dragon’s Dragon Breath, making it an evenly matched battle.
This time, the young man was no longer surprised. A complex Rune Mark appeared on his forehead, causing the Ghost Dragon’s body to drastically expand, and the range of its Dragon Breath to widen, covering Alpha directly.
“It’s a shame for a skeleton that can spit out dragon breath.”
The young man looked regretfully at Alpha, who had completely disappeared in the dragon’s breath. He then turned to Bai Qi and said, “You have good potential. Are you sure you don’t want to consider joining our tribe?”
“As long as you agree, I can recommend you to join under Lord Dragon God, and you will be able to have a martial soul as powerful as mine!”
“In fact, I can even protect your pet beasts and let them become members of the tribe.”
“What do you think? Want to consider it?”
The young man’s words were quite tempting, but Bai Qi rejected him without hesitation.
“Sorry, I’m afraid people will misunderstand that I’m weak!”
Bai Qi glanced at the young man’s frail-looking body and said, “And don’t you know, you’re standing on the wrong side?”
The left side always loses since ancient times. You’re still too young, my boy.
The young man was stunned upon hearing those words and immediately realized something. He saw the Ghost Dragon’s breath gradually freezing up like a liquid, and the frost quickly spread towards the Ghost Dragon along the breath.
Upon seeing this, the young man immediately stopped the Ghost Dragon’s attack and was about to retreat, but a Crystal Longsword came whistling over, piercing through the body of the Ghost Dragon and heading towards the young man’s head.
“Damn it, this kid is brutal!”
The young man immediately dropped his posture to avoid it, but the Crystal Great Sword seemed unwilling to let him go and chased him relentlessly.
“Dematerialize!”
Upon seeing this, the young man roared in anger. His entire body instantly became transparent like a ghost, letting the Withering Great Sword pass through his chest but not causing any harm.
“Bastard, you forced me into this.”
Thinking of the intense pain that would follow dematerialization, the young man did not hide his anger. He immediately left the body of the Ghost Dragon, who then flapped its wings and a stream of ghosts came out one after another, flying towards Bai Qi and others.
[Skill Name]: Ghost Attack
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Can summon a large number of ghosts to charge, causing the attacked to become depressed, and severe cases can even damage the spirit. “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?”
Seeing the Ghost Dragon use this skill, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and immediately hid behind Husky.
“Beta, I leave them to you.”
Woof woof!
(No problem, watch me!)
Beta confidently raised his head and, after a melodious howl, a strange chanting sound penetrated into the minds of all the ghosts and the young man.
Seeing the ghosts that actually got stuck after hearing the sound, the young man felt like he was about to explode. Just as he was about to let the Ghost Dragon drum the ghosts, Schuck seized the opportunity and directly spit out a force of Thunderbolt, sweeping in a circle and eliminating all the ghosts around him.
“What exactly is going on with this guy’s pets?!”
The young man forcefully grabbed his own hair to wake himself up. Before he could give new orders, Alpha had already broken out of the ice. Bone spikes flew out directly from his body, launching an all-around attack on the Ghost Dragon.
Seeing this, the young man was about to go up and command, but found that a piece of green jelly fell from the sky and landed on the ground, passing through his body. At the same time, a green light spread out from the jelly, covering an area of ten meters around him.
“I suggest you better not get distracted, otherwise I won’t be responsible if you get poisoned to death.”
Bai Qi leaned on Husky and pointed at the Deadly Poison Aura around the young man, saying, “I haven’t used it on humans yet, so I don’t know what effect it will have. So for safety’s sake, you better not dematerialize.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s words, the young man unconsciously clenched his fists. Seeing the Ghost Dragon tightly entwined by Alpha and the Deadly Poison Aura that had always followed him, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted at the sky of the secret room.
“I give up, I quit!”
As soon as his words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the secret room. Then a burly figure emerged, it was Bai Tongchen, the tower master of the Tower of Competition, whom he had met in the morning.
“Eve told you before not to underestimate your opponents, and now you see, you lost.”
Bai Tongchen landed a heavy punch on the young man. The young man couldn’t help but cry out in pain, his dematerialized state was forcibly lifted, and his originally skinny body gradually plumped up, turning into normal human appearance.
He looked just like a little boy and had some resemblance to Bai Qiucha.
Bai Tongchen rubbed the disgruntled young man’s head, then turned to Bai Qi who seemed unaffected and said, “Tell me, when did you realize this kid was pretending?”
Bai Qi pointed at the back of the young man’s hand that was deliberately covered with gloves and said, “Although I’ve never used it, I’ve seen the logo of Yan Huang, the most popular brand in the Federation, and it’s a limited edition. I don’t think a Beast Soul Warrior of a tribe would have time to follow the trend.”
“Also, his acting skills were too poor!”
Bai Tongchen looked at the young man’s palm and saw the unique logo of the Divine Dragon on the gloves. He landed another punch on the boy.
“Bai Yuxiao! Didn’t I tell you to throw these away?!”
Bai Yuxiao smiled awkwardly and said, “This is a limited edition, I was afraid it would be stolen…”
A vein throbbed on Bai Tongchen’s forehead, he unconsciously clenched his fist, while Bai Yuxiao retreated like a frightened rabbit, constantly begging for mercy.
“Dad, don’t hit my face, okay?”
“What do you think?”
“I’m your own child! Aren’t you afraid that there will be no one to see you off when you are old?”
“It’s because you’re my own child that I can beat you! Boy, don’t run away!”
