Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 120 The Feeling of Winning Without Effort

"Real-world combat isn't just about running and eating anymore?"

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, the beast tamers who had been preparing for today's mission for a long time looked at each other, feeling like they had become clowns.

This has been completely manipulated.

"Quiet!"

Looking at the group of beast tamers in front of him who were discussing amongst themselves, Zhang Shan's expression turned cold, and everyone immediately felt a chill down their spines and fell silent involuntarily.

Zhang Shan took out an opaque box and said, "Now, everyone come here to get your number."

The crowd looked at each other, but still obediently stepped forward to draw their numbers.

Although Leng Feifei looks intimidating, at least she wears her heart on her sleeve. Zhang Shan, on the other hand, is only a newly promoted member of the Rising Sun Clan, but his icy demeanor puts even more pressure on them than Leng Feifei.

"Bai Qi, what's your number?"

Gu Shan glanced at his number plate, then unusually took the initiative to run to Bai Qi's side to ask, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Bai Qi glanced at his number and said, "I'm number 13."

"Is that so..."

Gu Shan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. He was number 38, and so far behind Bai Qi, that he probably wouldn't have a chance to fight together.

I thought I could finally get my revenge...

"Hey, Bai Qi, you're number thirteen too?"

Zhou Yan overheard their conversation, took his own number plate, and walked over. It also had the number thirteen written on it.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Bai Qi nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Could this be a battle between people with the same number? Zhou Yan is a fourth-tier beast tamer, and clearly a beast tamer who uses possession techniques. In addition, with Zhou Yan's abnormal physical attributes, if they really fought, I would just be a sitting duck.

Soon, the others also noticed the unusual license plate and started discussing it again.

"Holy crap, I'm paired with Bai Qiucha? Am I doomed?"

"Haha, I'm paired with goddess Lu Qing, I'll accept defeat even if I lose!"

"Tch, look at you, so pathetic. Let me do this kind of thing."

"..."

Rumble!

Seeing the assembly hall bustling with activity again, Zhang Shan summoned his Thunder Beast and roared at the crowd.

"Next time you like to talk nonsense, go report to the Tower of Thorns yourself."

Everyone shut their mouths after being swept by Zhang Shan's icy gaze.

"All those who received the same number will be grouped together. Adjacent groups will engage in a two-player battle. Now, everyone, enter the secret realm."

Zhang Shan pushed open the wooden door in the assembly hall, but what appeared before everyone was no longer the deep passage, but an ancient arena.

It seems this wooden door is also a magic door, allowing you to go wherever you want.

Compared to that, his secret realm ring looks rather low-end.

I just don't know where I can buy one of these Anywhere Doors?

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, the trainees were immediately in an uproar, their mood instantly shifting, though they dared not show it any longer.

"Brother Bai Qi, come on, your big sister will protect you!"

Just as Bai Qi was studying the wooden door, Zhou Yan grabbed him and led the way into the secret realm.

After passing through the wooden door, Bai Qi and Zhou Yan appeared directly in the center of the arena, but they did not see any other students.

This secret realm should be a trial-type secret realm, like the Tower of Lamentation. Different people should be in parallel spaces, and they will not meet except for opponents in a team or battle.

Sure enough, not long after the two took their positions, their opponents appeared in the arena.

Bai Qi also remembered these two people. One was named Ran Xu and the other was named Qiao Li. They were both third-tier beast tamers. Yesterday, during the running mission, the two were among the top in the second group.

But most importantly, these two people are from the same place.

"Running into acquaintances even in random team-ups, this luck... is truly amazing!"

They are now competing in two-on-two battles, and teaming up with someone you know definitely gives you an advantage.

"Don't panic, they're just two third-tier beast tamers. Watch how I... this young lady deals with them."

Zhou Yan patted Bai Qi on the shoulder to reassure him, and then summoned his pet beast.

A female warrior whose entire body is covered in armor.

[Name]: Soul General

[Attribute]: Undead

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: After the death of ancient beast tamers, their souls remain condensed and become heroic spirits that can possess the beast tamer's body to form various weapons.

"The soul possesses the body!"

Zhou Yan shouted, and the female warrior immediately transformed into a stream of light and merged into Zhou Yan's body. A magnificent suit of armor appeared on Zhou Yan's body, and a bright silver spear appeared in his hand. From a distance, it looked as if the warrior had truly been reborn.

"You two, hurry up and summon your pets, I'm in a rush."

Zhou Yan was clearly very confident in himself and showed no intention of summoning any other pets. The two people opposite him, seeing Zhou Yan's appearance, immediately turned their tension into smiles.

Despite being a fourth-tier beast tamer, he gave up his advantage in the number of his pets and even seemed to be abandoning his companions to fight them one-on-one.

How could such a foolish act have caught Leng Feifei's eye and made her her apprentice?

Ran Xu and Qiao Li exchanged a glance, and a rune array appeared, instantly bringing six pet beasts to their feet.

"Snorlax, Master Monkey, Exploding Weasel, Poison Moth, Echo Moth, and Misty Butterfly are all pretty good in both ranged and melee combat."

Looking at the six pet beasts summoned by the two, Zhou Yan nodded, but there was no worry in his eyes.

"Is this lady planning to take on six opponents single-handedly?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Bai Qi roughly guessed what Zhou Yan was thinking and still summoned Alpha.

As for the husky, he left it in the secret realm.

Firstly, he needs the husky to help keep an eye on the slime monster, so that he doesn't go back and find his house gone.

Secondly, it seems we don't need it anymore.

After all four summoned their pets, Zhang Shan's voice rang out in the sky above the arena.

"The rules of the competition are as follows: if both players on one side are rendered incapable of fighting, the match ends in a loss; otherwise, it is up to the player."

"The match begins!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Ran Xu and Qiao Li activated their talents simultaneously.

Ran Xu's strength enhancement is best suited for the fighting style, while Qiao Li's is perception sharing, which connects the perceptions of the six pets and the two beast tamers almost instantly at the start of the battle.

From this moment forward, they will share each other's vision and even their five senses, including hearing.

Then, the three-headed fighting pet led the charge, while the three-headed insect-type creatures circled around, slowly changing the surrounding environment.

"This talent is a bit like mosquito coil eyes."

Seeing the six beasts poised to attack them, Bai Qi was about to have Alpha use a group attack when Zhou Yan moved even faster, swinging his spear and charging out.

"Come on, come on, it's been a long time since I've fought, so don't look too weak."

Zhou Yan's face was full of desire for battle. The spear, which was taller than her, was wielded with great force in her hands as she directly confronted Ran Xu's three-headed fighting-type pet.

Zhou Yan, alone with his spear, easily countered the fighting skills of the three-headed beast without being at a disadvantage, and even occasionally forced the three beasts to defend.

Awooo!

The spear struck the Snorlax squarely, and the Snorlax, known for its thick skin and tough flesh, let out a scream. The intense pain spread throughout all the pets along with its senses.

In an instant, the six pet beasts, which had been working together, were all affected and stopped what they were doing. Zhou Yan took the opportunity to fire a shot at the poisonous moth that was spraying poison.

"Sensory sharing also has its downsides."

Zhou Yan plucked the Poisonous Eye Moth with a single spear thrust, then twirled his spear and simultaneously attacked the remaining Mist Butterfly and Echo Mosquito.

Both of these pets are ranged attackers, and the Mist Butterfly can even alter the surrounding environment. Once it unleashes its mist and combines it with perception sharing, their battle won't be so easy.

Just as Zhou Yan was about to attack the two insect-type creatures, Qiao Li and Ran Xu reacted. The self-destructing weasel grabbed Zhou Yan and launched its self-destruct attack without hesitation. Zhou Yan had no choice but to dodge.

boom!

After an explosion, the self-destructing weasel blasted a deep crater in the ground, kicking up clouds of dust, while the mist butterflies took the opportunity to release mist, which quickly covered most of the arena.

Although they lost two damage dealers, Poison Eye Moth and Self-Destruct Weasel, the advantage now lies with the Mist Butterfly.

Ran Xu and Qiao Li exchanged a glance and slowly advanced their battle lines, showing no intention of being reckless.

"Seriously, I hate this kind of tactical maneuvering the most."

Zhou Yan looked at the increasingly dense fog in front of him, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He swung his spear heavily, and flames instantly formed in the air, flying into the fog.

Apart from the series of explosions caused by the falling flames, Zhou Yan did not hear any sound of the pet being injured.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately wanted to send Alpha to help, but Zhou Yan stopped him.

"I told you, leave these guys to me."

Zhou Yan spoke slowly and deliberately. Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't refuse Zhou Yan's request and told Alpha to stop. However, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction where Ran Xu and Qiao Li had originally been standing.

It seems Zhang Shan didn't say we can't attack beast tamers?

Pah, pah, how could he have such a thought? He's almost gotten used to Alpha ambushing him.

If we want peace, we must defeat the other side with our hard power.

Just then, Bai Qi suddenly felt a burst of high temperature erupt in the arena. Zhou Yan, who had been so dashing, was engulfed in flames, and cracks resembling lava appeared on his once elegant silver spear.

"You guys are much stronger than I thought, so I've decided to fight you seriously!"

Like a god of fire descending to earth, Zhou Yan pointed his spear into the distance, and before Ran Xu and the other could react, he slammed the spear into the ground.

In an instant, pillars of fire shot into the sky, the intense heat scorching the mist into nothingness, and the other four pet beasts were completely exposed to Zhou Yan.

They were only a few meters away from Zhou Yan, but thanks to the interference of the echo mosquitoes, Zhou Yan did not notice them at all.

If Zhou Yan hadn't reacted so suddenly, their sneak attack might have succeeded.

However, all of this was already pointless. Not only were the four pet beasts surrounded, but even Ran Xu and Qiao Li were surrounded by pillars of fire, trembling with fear, afraid that they might be accidentally roasted by Zhou Yan.

"You are already surrounded. Do you still intend to put up a stubborn resistance?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Ran Xu and the other man, and the two immediately shook their heads vigorously, admitting defeat without hesitation.

It's only one level below, why is it so insane!

Bai Qi felt the same way; he only summoned Alpha throughout the entire battle and won the match without doing anything else.

While it's definitely awesome to have a pro carry you, why do I always feel like I'm just an accessory hanging on their lap...?
