High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

"What?"

In front of the cabin.

While circulating her cultivation technique to restore her source energy, Qin Shiyao asked in her heart.

to be frank.

She was a little curious.

This was the first time in a year that she had heard her teacher speak in such a slightly joking tone.

all the time.

The teacher spoke with the majesty of an empress, inspiring awe and respect.

And this time...

The teacher seems to be joking around, which is unusual for him?

Thinking of this, Qin Shiyao smiled slightly.

She naturally liked the approachable Empress teacher even more.

just.

The smile had only just begun to appear, and the corners of Qin Shiyao's mouth had barely begun to curve.

After hearing the next sentence.

Her smile froze!

For some reason, her seemingly aloof face suddenly turned somewhat...dark?

Because what the Empress's teacher said was—

"I saw your cousin Lu Yu."

"He helped that school beauty girl surnamed Jiang deal with an entire wave of beasts."

"Tsk tsk, what a heroic rescue scene, how impressive."

Qin Shiyao: "..."

This moment.

She looked down at her blood-stained clothes.

He also felt that the source energy in his body was almost completely depleted.

His body was covered in numerous lacerations, from which blood was gushing out.

I don't know why.

She suddenly felt...uncomfortable?

Yes.

Qin Shiyao couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but she felt strange, even... a little sour.

"Shiyao."

"You're not wondering why your cousin Lu Yu is helping her but not you, are you?"

The Empress's mocking voice rang out again.

Qin Shiyao subconsciously retorted:

"How is that possible!"

"What business is it of mine who he helps?"

"Besides, I don't even acknowledge him as my cousin. We just lived under the same roof for a few years at most!"

This moment.

Qin Shiyao herself didn't realize it.

When she said this, her tone was as anxious as a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

And in the space of consciousness.

The illusory figure of the empress in her purple-gold robe wore a faint smile.

"Oh?"

"real?"

Qin Shiyao nodded repeatedly and hummed:

"Of course it's true."

"Although……"

"Lu Yu's performance in the provincial exam's secret realm was indeed excellent, but so what?"

"In the past few years, I've barely spoken a few words to him; we've had virtually no interaction whatsoever!"

Done.

Qin Shiyao seemed to think something was missing, and added:

"Who Lu Yu helps is his business, what does it have to do with me?"

just.

That last sentence still carried a hint of bitterness.

"Yes, that's true."

"but--"

The Empress paused, her tone suddenly becoming serious, before continuing:

"You are only at the early stage of the fifth rank. You can handle these hundred peak fourth-rank beasts today, but..."

"Tomorrow might be the peak fifth-tier beast tide."

"At that time, with your current strength, you will be far from able to handle it!"

This statement came out.

Qin Shiyao's pretty face stiffened.

This moment.

For some inexplicable reason, the scene of Lu Yu's punch, which felt like it weighed a million pounds, suddenly flashed into her mind.

But then...

Qin Shiyao shook her head, dismissing the sudden thought, and said decisively:

Anyway—

Even if I'm eliminated tomorrow, I would never ask Lu Yu for help!

Upon hearing this, the Empress chuckled softly, "Really?"

Qin Shiyao nodded vigorously: "Indeed!"

The Empress said nothing more.

only……

Her gaze once again turned to the deepest part of the secret realm.

Days passed.

Her senses became increasingly clear.

In the deepest part...

That colossal beast of Saintly Glory level seems to be slowly reviving.

"The Crimson Flame Sect sets up a series of tests..."

"Perhaps the ultimate goal is still that strangely aura-filled behemoth?"

The Empress's eyes flickered as she secretly considered various possibilities.

But these words.

She still didn't say much to Qin Shiyao.

……

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Daylight passed.

Sunset West Mountain.

The beast tide that had been entrenched in the safe house area receded on time.

A series of unpredictable tremors echoed across the endless wilderness, warning all the prodigies hunting beasts there to return to their safe houses as soon as possible.

This moment.

Even Lu Yu didn't overestimate himself; before the sun completely set, he traveled back to his little wooden house.

Today is the day.

Lu Yu was incredibly diligent!

He created black holes by hand, one after another, which enveloped the wilderness.

then……

Like a wholesale operation, it devoured and strangled hordes of strange beasts on a large scale.

A whole day has passed.

Even Lu Yu himself didn't know how many alien beasts he had killed or how many points he had obtained.

The only thing he knew was...

The peak fourth-tier beast cores almost completely filled his small wooden bed!

This scene.

It also caught the attention of many powerful figures outside the secret realm.

only.

There was no more surprise or shock.

After watching Lu Yu spend the whole day manually creating black holes to kill monsters, they were completely numb!

Lu Yu, that guy is a complete freak!

The same dark element black hole skill...

When Lu Yu unleashed it, its effects and power far surpassed those of his black cat beast!

This moment.

Not to mention the numerous king-level powerhouses.

Even the martial arts masters of the four major martial arts academies were rendered helpless by Lu Yu's various skills and methods!

Beastmaster...

Logically, shouldn't the creature itself have no combat power and rely solely on its pet beasts to fight?

How come when it comes to Lu Yu, the combat power of the Beast Tamer is even more exaggerated than that of the Pet Beast?

Take black hole vortexes as an example.

The black hole created by the black cat yesterday had a maximum diameter of no more than 100 meters.

And Lu Yu?

Today, he actually managed to create a huge black hole with a diameter of nearly 300 meters by hand!

Can't figure it out!

They couldn't understand Lu Yu's situation at all!

Amidst the various thoughts of people both inside and outside the secret realm.

The sun completely dipped below the horizon.

hum-

above the sky.

A light screen appeared.

The rankings for the second day are officially released!

Swah——

One by one, names and points appeared.

Same as yesterday.

It still appears from the very end.

Soon.

It's at the top of the leaderboard.

A familiar name has appeared again!

Even though everyone had prepared themselves mentally, they were still shocked by the terrifying points!

[First Place: Lu Yu!]

Points: 8848 (4424*2)!

This result breaks the historical record for the second day of the assessment!

[Special Rewards Triggered: 10 Premium Source Crystals; 1 Key!]

And almost at the very moment these few lines of text appeared.

Inside safe house number 007.

On Lu Yu's body.

An old-fashioned key suddenly began to emit a scorching red light!
