Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s not easy to raise spirit beasts, so don’t just come up here to die.” Shen Fei regretfully shook his head. The contempt in his eyes was obvious.

“The one who sent the spirit beasts to their deaths is not them, but you! Using a Marquis-rank Flame Owl to bully a group of Baron-rank spirit beasts, tsk, tsk... Only you are capable of such a cruel act.”

Li Yuan had an evil smile on his face. He could not wait to see how everyone would look when they found out the truth.

“What?”

The many Beastmasters present immediately burst into an uproar!

“His Flame Owl isn’t a Page-rank beast?”

“F*ck, I was tricked! I thought he was a Page-rank, so I dared to attack him. This is a huge loss!

“A Baron-rank against a Marquis-rank, that’s certain death! Who was the one who led the charge just now?”

They glared at Shen Fei with hatred, wishing that they could tear him into pieces with their gazes.

Shen Fei glanced at them, annoyed. ‘You’re the ones who didn’t use your brains, and now you’re blaming me for your losses? No wonder they’re all so weak.’

“I was wondering why he was so arrogant just now...” Anna touched her chin thoughtfully.

These spirit beasts that came up after Zhang Youcheng’s were all Barons, one rank lower than a Marquis! Against Shen Fei’s spirit beast, there was really no way they would come out unscathed. This was how cruel the level gap between spirit beasts was.

“Quiet, quiet, everyone, give me a few seconds.” Looking at the noisy audience in front of him, Li Yuan calmly waved his hand. “Listen up! Even though you can’t fight him, I can!”

The scene immediately quieted down.

“Is what you said just now true?”

“Of course, just wait and see my performance!”

Li Yuan confidently turned toward the stage and swaggered up to Shen Fei. Everyone watched him with a hint of anticipation.

“Shen Fei is in danger now.” Anna sat on the side, unable to hide the glee on her face.

“Oh”-Aloy quickly glanced at Li Yuan-“What do you mean by that?” His fate had not changed at all. It would still end with his family’s decline.

She had long heard of Li Yuan’s talent. The C-class talent, Weather Control, could let the user change the weather within a 50-meter radius for a short period of time.

This talent was of little value, and it was usually not versatile enough to actually be useful. At most, it could only be considered a support talent in a team.

Even when they crossed paths, Aloy did not even care to look at him.

“Aloy, you still don’t know, right? The Li family’s patriarch paid a huge sum of money to find him a spirit beast that’s complements his innate talent. Moreover, it’s a Count-rank spirit beast! Dealing with a Marquis-rank spirit beast like the Flame Owl is a piece of cake!”

Hearing this, Aloy’s expression changed. Even Count-rank spirit beasts were ridiculously strong. This time, Shen Fei might really be in trouble.

...

Back on the arena stage, Shen Fei watched Li Yuan with interest. The Flame Owl had also opened its eyes.

“Since you want your spirit beast to die so badly, then come-”

“Wait!” Suddenly, Li Yuan extended his hand and interrupted Shen Fei. “I did not say it was today.”

Shen Fei’s face was filled with doubt. “Why not today? Don’t tell me you have something you need to do?”

“It’s not about me.” After saying that, Li Yuan pointed at the burnt area around him and chuckled. “If I’m not mistaken, your spirit beast’s strength should be almost depleted!”

Shen Fei glanced at the Flame Owl that was still snoozing on his shoulder. Indeed, that attack just now had caused the little fellow to use up a lot of strength.

“I don’t want to take advantage of you while you’re down. You should go back and have a good rest, then come back and fight me.”

Shen Fei had expected Li Yuan to give some kind of reason, but he had not expected it to be this.

“There’s no need to be so concerned, we can fight now!”

To deal with Li Yuan, the Flame Owl’s current physical strength was more than enough!

“How arrogant.” Li Yuan’s smug smile could not be hidden. “Since you’re so determined to die, I’ll grant your wish!”

He raised his right arm high. A dazzling bolt of lightning, accompanied by countless flashing electric arcs, struck the stage. A two-meter tall Silver Lightning Tiger walked out from behind Li Yuan, electricity still sparking around it.

The audience burst out in exclamations.

“It’s a Count-rank Silver Lightning Tiger!”

“It’s so strong! Just his aura alone is enough to make one tremble.”

“As expected of the Li family, to be able to get such a powerful spirit beast!”

Shen Fei’s eyes lit up. ‘Finally, a real opponent!’

Even Aloy, who was in the stands, sat up straight.

The moment she saw the life path of the Silver Lightning Tiger... “Ah!” Aloy cried.

This Silver Lightning Tiger would actually become an Emperor-rank spirit beast in the future!

Aloy rubbed her eyes in disbelief. ‘What’s going on?’

She furrowed her brows, the confusion in her heart almost overflowing. ‘After this, Li Yuan’s life... It would go into a downward spiral. Why would his spirit beast get stronger?’

...

Li Yuan was basking in everyone’s praise, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up. He looked at Shen Fei provokingly.

“Now, do you realize the difference between us? If you go back on your word. It’s not too late to head back and rest first.”

“No need.” Shen Fei firmly shook his head. “Let’s not waste time, hurry up and start.”

“Now this is more like it!”

“Silver Lightning Tiger, go!”

With a snap of Li Yuan’s fingers, the Silver Lightning Tiger beside him shot out like an arrow from a bow and charged toward Shen Fei. Its speed was surprisingly fast, leaving several afterimages on the stage.

Li Yuan looked at Shen Fei conceitedly.

The Silver Lightning Tiger was the second fastest among all the Count-rank spirit beasts! Even if Shen Fei’s Flame Owl reached Marquis rank, what could it do? It would still be defeated by his Silver Lightning Tiger!

“How fast!” The crowd on the stage exclaimed.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Shen Fei. They did not know how he would respond.

Instead, everyone was surprised.

Facing the Silver Lightning Tiger that was moving freely on the stage, Shen Fei calmly stroked his Flame Owl with a leisurely look on his face.

The audience was confused.

“The battle has already started, why hasn’t he unleashed his Flame Owl? He’s suicidal.”

“Oh no, did he get scared silly, right?”

“Hurry up and let the Flame Owl fight! If this goes on, it’ll be fatal!”

“Young Master Li, you can do it! Teach him a good lesson!” Anna seemed particularly excited.

Looking at everything in the ring, Aloy was extremely anxious.

The Silver Lightning Tiger’s attack power was nothing to be underestimated. A light tap could break an adult’s ribs! If Shen Fei continues like this, he would die!

Or was there a deeper meaning behind his actions?

Aloy tried to look at Shen Fei. At that moment, a life path that was completely different from before appeared in front of her.

The scene changed to the arena in front of them.

Li Yuan, who had been so proud just a moment ago, was now filled with fear.

He widened his eyes and took two steps back in panic.

Aloy followed his gaze and looked towards Shen Fei.

“That’s-!”

A Three-clawed Golden Dragon, bathed in golden light, obediently surrounded Shen Fei.

Aloy covered her mouth in shock and only spoke after a long time.

“His second spirit beast is actually a dragon!”
