Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Arena No. 714.

The audience’s clamor could already be heard from outside the arena, not to mention that they were inside it.

The competition was at its climax, and the audience’s deafening noises also swayed Chen An’s mood.

In the arena, the outcome of the match was already known. The victor and his beast were enjoying the cheers from the audience. On the other hand, the defeated party was carrying his beast, covered in injuries, in his arms. Some people were helping them down the arena.

The next match was Lin Yingxue’s turn.

Someone said behind Chen An, “Do you guys know that the lady joining the next match had defeated Wang Wang before?”

“She fought with Wang Wang before? What a poor thing. Who doesn’t know that Wang Wang is an old rascal who likes to take advantage of girls?”

“No, no. That girl is quite formidable. She hadn’t been taken advantage of. She taught Wang Wang’s Evil Grimsteel Dog a hard lesson, and the dog was almost thrown out of the arena.”

The group broke into scornful laughter, and Chen An could barely hide his smile.

A golden-red figure leaped into the arena. The bright demeanor captured the attention of the audience.

Qian Zhan was Lin Yingxue’s opponent. His beast was called Purple Lightning Sable.

[The Taming System has been launched.]

Chen An used the system to read through Purple Lightning Sable’s information, and he silently heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned backward on the chair, looking relaxed as he watched Lin Yingxue’s movements in the arena.

As soon as the competition started, Lin Yingxue launched a vigorous attack on her opponent.

It seemed that she had realized the importance of making the first attack during the match with Wang Wang. She no longer waited for the other party to strike and then find the chance to retaliate later.

Evidently, the other party did not expect the harmless-looking girl’s attack to be that aggressive.

Qian Zhan was caught off guard right from the start. Wu Wu kicked him in the chin, and he grimaced in pain, backing off continuously.

The audience was roused.

“Qian Zhan is also a four-star Beast Tamer. He is at a disadvantage that soon?”

“That girl has already accumulated enough points to be a four-star Beast Tamer. It’s hard to tell who will win this match.”

“What do you mean? I think that girl will win for sure.”

Lin Yingxue had gained the upper hand, but she did not cease her moves. She immediately changed the direction of the attack and closed in on Qian Zhan.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten off the arena, Qian Zhan hurriedly summoned his Purple Lightning Sable to counterattack Lin Yingxue. “You’re a lady. Why are you that aggressive in your moves? Don’t blame me for making you suffer then.”

The Purple Lightning Sable was a medium-grade beast and quite petite. It had fully unleashed the merit of a small-sized beast. It was extremely agile, and its combat speed was much faster than Wu Wu’s.

It also had the talent skill, Purple Lightning, which could be released within a short distance. Once it hit the other party, strong electric currents would land the other party in extreme pain. Those whose defending skills were poor might feel numb and become immobilized.

Lin Yingxue continued to attack vigorously.

She was closing in on Qian Zhan, so this was the best time for the Purple Lightning Sable to attack.

The Purple Lightning Sable followed Qian Zhan’s order and pounced on Lin Yingxue. Its body was shrouded with dense purple lights.

Faraway, the audience could also hear the buzzing sound of electric currents.

Lin Yingxue could no longer retract her move, so the audience held their breaths.

“It’s a goner. She’s going to be burnt by electricity now. Believe it or not? The Purple Lightning Sable’s electric current is not something to be trifled with.”

“She was too anxious and did not have a back-up plan. She deserves it.”

Lin Yingxue was about to reach the Purple Lightning Sable. She was only an inch from it.

Suddenly, Wu Wu jumped out, landed between Lin Yingxue and the Purple Lightning Sable, and used a golden, thin thread to form a fine mesh. Lin Yingxue grabbed the mesh and turned around with might. Then, she leaped across the Purple Lightning Sable and landed on the ground steadily.

On her side, the golden pattern on her arms swirled as she flung the mesh toward Qian Zhan.

Qian Zhan was already forced to the edge of the arena and had no room to retreat further. He had no choice but to allow himself to be wrapped tightly by that piece of mesh.

Qian Zhan tried hard to free himself. He was leaning his body forward, trying his best to stop himself from falling off the arena, while summoning his Purple Lightning Sable.

Chen An cupped his head. He knew that the battle was about to end.

According to the system, the Purple Lightning Sable only had one skill chamber. The only skills book assembled in it could momentarily increase its power by three seconds. Although the duration was very short, the increase in power was substantial. It was no wonder that Qian Zhan would choose this book.

However, this kind of skill had a fatal shortcoming. If the aim was off and could not hit the opponent, it would be a wasted blow.

It was a critical juncture for Qian Zhan now as he was about to be defeated. Undoubtedly, he would instruct his Purple Lightning Sable to use this skill. Then, it would depend on whether Lin Yingxue could dodge the attack.

As expected, in the arena, the Purple Lightning Sable rolled itself into a ball and charged toward Lin Yingxue at lighting speed.

Wu Wu leaped to Lin Yingxue’s side, and the golden patterns on its forehead appeared again.

Bang—

There was a low and deafening sound. Lin Yingxue and Wu Wu turned around simultaneously. She was still holding the golden mesh in her hands. It was uncertain if this was done on purpose, but the Purple Lightning Sable’s strike, which carried all its strength, had coincidentally hit the mesh.

This surge of power circulated in Lin Yingxue’s hands, and she recycled it for her own use. She utilized the power and threw out the mesh in her hands.

Qian Zhan had not freed himself in time.

Under the entire audience’s gaze, he was flung high into the air, from one end to the opposite end of the arena. He slumped against the edge of the arena, struggled, and wriggled twice like a worm. At last, he fell off the arena.

The battle ended, and Lin Yingxue claimed victory—an almost instantaneous one.

The audience clamored.

“Oh no. Is Qian Zhan that down on his luck?”

“The Purple Lightning Sable is such a flop. It ended up making its master lose with that skill which increased power.”

“Is there such a thing? My horizons have been widened. Qian Zhan is going to be a laughing stock henceforth!”

Chen An finally figured out their conversation. These people believed that Lin Yingxue could win the match because of a hiccup in the Purple Lightning Sable and Qian Zhan’s collaboration, and this resulted in Qian Zhan’s defeat.

The chemistry between the beast and the Beast Tamer was the most important necessary foundation. It would be a joke if they could commit such mistakes.

However, Chen An disagreed with them. Qian Zhan was a four-star Beast Tamer, and he was quite powerful. He suffered a miserable defeat because Lin Yingxue’s competency was a notch above his.

Wu Wu had been given a new spirit core and had shown an obvious improvement in its combat power. The golden mesh had also been used to deal with Wang Wang before. At that time, Wang Wang had freed himself from it easily.

But a while ago, the mesh had managed to totally trap Qian Zhan. Obviously, this was a marked improvement.

In addition, Lin Yingxue had excellent combat tactics. Using the Purple Lightning Sable’s power to throw Qian Zhan out of the arena was all part of her combat strategy.

True enough, joining more combats and accumulating experience was an ideal way to develop a Beast Tamer.

“Why are you staring into space? Let’s leave quickly. Or do you want to watch the next match?” In the blink of an eye, Lin Yingxue, who was in the arena moments ago, was already standing in front of him.

Everyone else cast sideways glances at them, and they could not stop staring at Lin Yingxue’s face.

They were seated far away and could only catch a clear glimpse of Lin Yingxue’s moves during the combat earlier. They were surprised that, at close-up, she was, in fact, a great beauty with a pretty face.

“She’s the girl who competed in the match just now. Do they know each other?”
