CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 82: SCHEMING STONE MAN (PART 2)

The reason for agreeing to Zhang Shi was not just for money, but also to let Xiaobai have some practice.

Xiaobai nodded, then walked onto the stage.

The students began to discuss Xiaobai.

"I’ve heard it defeated Ye Yun and his crew, is it really that strong?"

"I’ve looked into it too, it’s indeed powerful. Its second skill is Soul-Calming Hoof, and it can perform combined skills. I heard the most terrifying thing is its Skill 1 seems to have reached the Divine Enlightenment Realm."

"That’s way too monstrous."

The crowd buzzed with discussions, and some people began to regret.

However, soon these people rekindled hope.

Because...

"The Profound Gang Beast has broken through!"

Someone shouted, and immediately others looked over, really seeing the Profound Gang Beast advancing from Level 12 to Level 13.

Zhang Shi was full of smiles, laughing heartily, and said:

"Lin Chen, didn’t expect it, huh? I know the power of your Plowhorn Beast, but my brain is better than yours..."

"My Spirit Beast could have broken through a week ago, but I had it hold back until now."

"All for this fight!"

Everyone was in an uproar, including Zhang Shi’s teammates who were stunned.

Zhang Shi has a nickname "Stone Man" in the Inner Courtyard, meaning he’s not bright.

Who would have thought he’d be so "conniving."

Then he continued with a smile: "The arena challenge has been signed, you have no way to regret it now."

"I admit I’m a bit despicable this time, but it’s also out of respect for you."

"You can also choose to concede..."

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen said: "Why so many lines, let’s start already."

"..."

...

Zhang Shi was furious, and others also felt Lin Chen was arrogant.

The Profound Gang Beast is already versatile, now it’s a level higher than the Plowhorn Beast, with a high chance of winning.

"Profound Gang Beast, pummel it." Zhang Shi directly commanded.

This time he used this scheme not only to calculate against Lin Chen but also intended to clean up his nickname of "Stone Man." Right when he was happily showing off, he was interrupted from casting his spell, naturally burning with anger.

As soon as he gave the order, the Profound Gang Beast immediately unleashed an Energy Blast at Xiaobai.

The Energy Blast was somewhat golden in color and extremely fast.

Xiaobai hurriedly dodged, activating Iron Horn Impact, seizing this opportunity to charge directly.

Soul-Calming Hoof!

Combined Skill triggered!

Seeing this scene, the students below were in an uproar, as combined skills are something many Spirit Beasts practice, but few manage to perfect.

The Profound Gang Beast had no chance of dodging the Soul-Calming Hoof, Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji were overjoyed, but Zhang Shi displayed a sinister smile and shouted again:

"Profound Gang Beast, activate Aura Shield."

In an instant, a golden shield resembling a bell firmly protected the Profound Gang Beast within.

Clang!

The Soul-Calming Hoof struck it, producing a loud noise.

Xiaobai’s Iron Horn Impact was just about to collide, when Lin Chen’s voice timely came:

"Dodge!"

Xiaobai didn’t understand but still jumped immediately, canceling Iron Horn Impact. It was only then it saw the Soul-Calming Hoof was rebounded.

The Spirit Transformation level of Spirit Beasts naturally has their skill strength elevated to a higher stage.

"Hehe..." Zhang Shi grinned.

The Profound Gang Beast’s second skill is a bit of a cheat, appearing as a defensive skill but actually capable of reflecting skills.

Lin Chen naturally didn’t know what its second skill was, he only reacted after seeing.

...

The Profound Gang Beast saw Xiaobai in the air, losing its agility, and with keen battle awareness, it launched another Energy Blast.

This time Xiaobai had no way to dodge, being hit directly, and was knocked a meter away, slamming heavily to the ground.

However, due to the very limited time, the Energy Blast the Profound Gang Beast unleashed this time was not the strongest, so the damage wasn’t significant.

Many students below were delighted, having bet correctly this time and also restoring face for the Inner Courtyard.

Xiaobai stood up and shook its body.

"Trust your judgment." Lin Chen knew what it intended to do.

The next second, Xiaobai started to run.

Everyone’s pupils brightened, someone shouted: "It’s going to use One Qi Transforming into Three Oxen."

Sure enough, under everyone’s gaze, the residual shadows around Xiaobai continued to increase.

One.

Two.

...

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shi was still calm and unhurried, clapping his hands, the Profound Gang Beast immediately roared in anger, and then an even bigger golden bell enveloped the Profound Gang Beast.

"Perfection Level Aura Shield?!"

"Worthy of the third place on the Hundred Stars Chart."

Someone exclaimed.

It was very noticeable, the golden bell was larger and thicker.

This is also the advantage of a High-Level Beastmaster, they gain experience when nurturing their first Spirit Beast, so the speed naturally quickens with the second.

It’s like playing a game, where veteran players start fresh with a new character, utilizing their knowledge.

Xiaobai also saw this huge golden bell, initially planning to use One Qi Transforming into Three Oxen, but now felt uncertain.

It grit its teeth...

Another roar!

Speed increased again!

Everyone knew that if Xiaobai couldn’t break through the Aura Shield with One Qi Transforming into Three Oxen, then Xiaobai was bound to lose.

Amidst the excitement, someone noticed Xiaobai’s change..

"What’s it doing?"

"It seems to be increasing its speed further."

An exclamation instantly drew numerous attentions.

In a flash, the fourth residual shadow appeared!

"O...One Qi Transforming into Four Oxen?" Someone swallowed, unable to accept the fact.

Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji were also dumbfounded.

In just this short time, Xiaobai had evolved again?

One Qi Transforming into Three Oxen was originally a Divine Enlightenment effect, the latter stage’s boost should be increasingly difficult, how come it’s as simple as drinking water for Xiaobai?

In utter astonishment, Xiaobai had already reached the golden bell, ramming its horns fiercely against it.
