“Swish!”

Another ray of Evil Light Wave appeared.

Xiaozi was like a delicate zither player, her fingers moving nimbly.

Now she could use Evil Light Wave with ease.

The white light pierced through Ji Long’s thigh, and he fell backward from the force.

Looking at the twisted and shriveled injury on his thigh, he bit the tip of his tongue.

“This is my last attack. I’ll admit defeat if you can take it!”

Then a strange fluctuation reverberated around the heavy firearm.

The gun barrel seemed to have a mind of its own as it began to shake violently.

If someone could see the interior, they would see countless metal parts moving wildly and assembling automatically.

That was the intelligent brain’s control. It was assembling a special bullet.

“Intermediate skill, Sky Eagle Execution Blade Bullet!”

He pointed the gun at Xiaozi, who was close to him, and revealed a smile.

A sci-fi-looking silver bullet shot out like a falcon with a pair of wings on both sides.

The powerful recoil immediately pushed Ji Long back.

Lin Yu’s expression became slightly more serious.

After Ye Tian, he saw another one with intermediate skills.

True to form, Ji Long was the first fifth-stage opponent that they had met other than themselves.

Xiaozi suddenly made a sharp turn, and the bullet flew past her face.

The next moment, as if it had a mind of its own, it turned a corner and continued to run toward Xiaozi.

It was as if the surrounding space had been locked down, and the bullet had a terrifying aura that seemed to want to cut and shatter everything in the world.

“As I expected, Corrosive Magic Grape,” Lin Yu said with confidence.

The other party would be too weak if it could be dodged so easily.

Under Lin Yu’s instructions, Xiaozi, who had been prepared for this, had ripples behind her.

The black meteors-like magic grapes were thrown at the Sky Eagle Bullet.

In front of them, a wonderful show like the collision of stars was staged.

The dual blades of the bullet were extremely sharp, and the magic grapes were cut open in an instant.

But Xiaozi’s mouth revealed a smile.

Circles of black ripples rippled in every corner of the bullet, which swayed unsteadily like a plane that was about to crash.

And cracking sounds were heard as if the parts were about to fall apart at any moment.

Lin Yu showed a look as if the overall situation had been decided. Finally, he softly shouted, “Netherworld Destruction Palm.”

Cold black air circulated around Xiaozi’s hand, and the Bone-penetrating Black Chill turned into a sky-turning palm print and struck out.

The bullet instantly disintegrated, turning into parts that flew all over the sky.

Ji Long’s eyes almost popped out when he saw this.

Then, he raised his hand as if he was already desperate.

Everyone was silent.

“I won. What an interesting duel!” Lin Yu slowly came over and coughed.

On the other hand, Ji Long looked like he was about to cry but had no tears. It was obvious that the shattering of the strongest bullet had dealt him a heavy blow.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have gotten involved in this mess.

Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang also ran over behind Lin Yu.

“Sharpshooter Ji Long! Lin Yu, you defeated Ji Long!” Zhang Yuze began to flatter Lin Yu in a sensible manner.

“He’s one of the top five experts in our school,” he explained as if he was afraid that Lin Yu didn’t understand what this meant.

“This means that you’re already one of the top five experts in the school,” Gao Yang interjected.

“Oh.” Lin Yu looked very calm.

The other party was just a high school student, so what if he won?

And the ranking… It was child’s play.

Lin Yu said inwardly, “Be more mature!”

“Well…” Zhang Yuze hesitated for a moment as if he had something to say.

“Is there a problem?”

“That last move of yours, I remember that it was called the ‘Yellow Spring Fortune Palm’, right? Why is it called the ‘Netherworld Destruction Palm’ this time?” He looked eager to learn.

Lin Yu was speechless.

He said in his mind, “You even remember this.

“But I can’t just say that I made it up.”

“Ahem, this is Xiaozi’s new skill. It’s an improved version of the previous one,” Lin Yu coughed and explained.

“I see. I’ll remember that.” Zhang Yuze had a look of sudden realization.

Lin Yu’s mouth twitched when he saw Zhang Yuze’s serious face as if he was memorizing the book. Zhang Yuze seemed to be very interested in memorizing all kinds of pet beast knowledge.

“By the way…” Lin Yu turned to look at Ji Long, who was still lying on the ground. “Why aren’t you getting up?”

Ji Long was speechless. “Leave me alone!”

He was still immersed in the sadness of not being able to retrieve the Sky Eagle Execution Blade Bullet after the fight.

“Lin Yu… It seemed that his leg was broken by Xiaozi just now,” Gao Yang quietly said.

Ji Long’s face paled, and he almost fainted. He had been so immersed in his sorrow that he had forgotten about the injury on his leg.

Lin Yu laughed in embarrassment and quickly called Xiaozi to give him a burst of Hell Spirit Rain.

They were schoolmates, after all. He had no choice but to attack the Beastmaster just now.

Ji Long limped away.

“By the way, isn’t he tired of carrying such a huge gun?”

Lin Yu muttered as he watched Ji Long’s back view gradually disappear into the distance.

In the next moment, he saw Ji Long’s figure stagger and almost fall again before he put the sniper rifle back into the pet beast space.

“I feel like you’ve crushed his self-confidence.” Gao Yang laughed out loud.

“He must be feeling heartache for that bullet,” Zhang Yuze said teasingly.

“No wonder he looked so absent-minded after losing…” Lin Yu thought and nodded.

This might be the special feature of the tool-type mechanical pet beast.

Even Ye Tian couldn’t launch such a powerful move without much preparation.

However, the disadvantage was also obvious. Resources such as mechanical parts were not renewable like the energy of other pet beasts.

Once they were consumed, they would need to be collected again.

“But this battle is even more dangerous than the previous ones… This sniper is like an assassin.”

Lin Yu wanted to curse.

The pace of this battle was truly too fast, and the atmosphere was especially tense.

Ji Long’s attack power had obviously exceeded an ordinary fifth-stage Beastmaster’s.

However, he was only suitable for a one-hit kill.

Once his attack was neutralized by the enemy, he would almost lose.

“My evaluation is that his explosive power is very strong, but it doesn’t have any endurance.”

“Indeed, Brother Yu. That guy’s sneak attack just now was very dangerous. You are so awesome using Shadowtouch to block bullets.” Zhang Yuze was so impressed that he even called Lin Yu brother.

Lin Yu touched his nose.

If it were another one, he would not have been able to easily imitate that move, even if he had the wise.

Only Xiaozi had that kind of awesome control.

Of course, it was also thanks to him that Xiaozi was so outstanding.

“Lin Yu, what’s with this dark night?” Gao Yang raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

“That’s Xiaozi’s new skill.” Lin Yu grinned.

He snapped his fingers, and Xiaozi reached out her hand and made a pulling action.

The pitch-black night sky trembled in an instant, and then, like a dark canvas, it gradually shrank to a size of tens of square meters and floated above everyone.

The sky regained its clarity.

Zhang Yuze and Gao Yang were dumbfounded by the scene.

They thought, “So it wasn’t dark just now but a canvas covering the sky?”

This was too unbelievable.

“This skill is called Dark Curtain. As you can see, it’s a domain-type skill,” Lin Yu explained.

“Its size can be freely adjusted. At its maximum, it can cover a small part of the sky and even give people the illusion that it’s already night in that area.”
