Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 284: Ranking Competition

On one of the outermost pillars of the Yun Family, a slim figure with a high ponytail sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, indifferent to everything around her.

After landing on the pillar with wings formed from elemental energy, she had maintained this state, even meditating at the scene of the martial arts competition, completely ignoring everyone else.

The other members of the Yun Family, wisely, did not challenge her.

It wasn’t until people on the pillars started discussing Lin Su’s situation that Yun Zhenzhen finally opened her eyes and glanced in the direction of the Lin Family.

Then, she closed her eyes again.

Both the first round of seizing the pillar and the second round of ranking did not concern her much; she was only interested in the benefits she could glean after entering the Yin-Yang Body Refining Pool.

Lin Su was completely unaware of the quiet discussions among the Yun Family members; he was standing on the pillar, chatting casually with other Lin family disciples, waiting for the first round to end.

Having secured one of the five pillars by challenging a person already, if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to smoothly advance to the second round…

Well, something unexpected happened.

Without giving Lin Su much rest, Lin Hong slowly stood up beneath the pillar.

In front of everyone’s eyes, he quickly walked up to the pillar where Lin Su was and spoke solemnly, “Lin Su, I challenge you!”

Lin Su’s expression became slightly odd.

Strictly speaking, the strength Lin Hong had shown was not much stronger than Lin Yue’s.

How did he think to challenge him?

“Fine,” Lin Su calmly said, then leaped down from the pillar.

Almost simultaneously, a white shadow from Lin Su’s embrace swiftly charged at Lin Hong.

Lin Hong’s expression changed.

Frost Flower Dream Shadow?

He thought to himself, alert.

The opponent has Spirit Skills, remember not to make eye contact!

The opponent can unleash an ice storm, it’s best to get close quickly!

The opponent can fly, do not let them use altitude to wear me down!

After going over the characteristics of Frost Flower Dream Shadow once more in his mind, Lin Hong had his strategy ready. He quickly raised his spear, the elemental energy stirring flames as he thrust violently at the white shadow; his spear technique was exceedingly fast, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of thrusts had been made.

The spear shadows were like curtains, the fierce flames like walls, completely enveloping the tiny figure of Qiuqiu.

Bold creature, to dare approach me who wields a spear.

If you had only wielded that storm from afar, I might have had to be wary.

However, like this, you probably can’t protect Lin Su.

Sneer was evident on Lin Hong’s face.

Trying to make eye contact up close?

I’m well aware of your skills; you won’t fool me.

However, in the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

He keenly felt that at a certain moment, his long spear was deflected.

Deflected?!

The next moment, a large hole suddenly appeared in the wall of fiery crimson flames, and Qiuqiu, surrounded by Ice Crystal Petals and with a vertical pupil burning with icy blue flame in her brow, breached through.

What?!

What skill is this?

A Beast Tamer’s teaching skill?

Lin Hong’s expression changed slightly.

As a martial arts powerhouse, he could not possibly be aware of all Pet Beast Skills, only familiar with the Talent Skills of Frost Flower Dream Shadow itself.

Not good!

He suddenly realized something was off, his spear sweeping up swiftly, drawing a lingering line of fire towards Qiuqiu in mid-air, while simultaneously closing his eyes to prevent any chance of making eye contact, fearing that the opponent would employ that spirit-attacking skill.

Qiuqiu’s eyes gleamed cunningly, the vertical icy blue flame in her brow rapidly dissipating as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, a storm of intertwined silver-white and icy blue descended, enveloping both Qiuqiu and Lin Hong. As the caster, Qiuqiu was barely affected by the Frost Silence Storm; any minor effects were easily resisted by the not yet completely shattered Frost Resistance, but Lin Hong, who was merely focused on closing his eyes, was not so lucky.

In an instant, a thin layer of white frost formed on his robust clothing, his spear thrusts gradually stiffening, the flames on the spear tip faltering under the extreme chill and rampaging storm.

Within the storm, Qiuqiu, moving with graceful steps, dodged the thrust of the spear, claws gathering a rapid convergence of icy blue light, and then gently pressed against Lin Hong’s chest.

By the time the storm had dispersed, Lin Hong had become a sculpture holding a spear, frozen in the act of thrusting, while Qiuqiu returned unscathed to Lin Su’s embrace.

It all happened too quickly.

So much so that by the time Lin Su had landed, Lin Hong was already gone.

Just having jumped down from the pillar and the battle was already over; this made Lin Su’s heart feel somewhat odd.

He shook his head resignedly and climbed back up the pillar.

Hopefully, no one would challenge him now, right?

Lin Yue, who had been doubting his life choices, felt a sudden sense of equilibrium at this scene.

He and Lin Hong were almost equal in strength, yet Lin Hong clearly ended up even more miserably defeated.

That settles that.

On the pillar, Lin Ye shook his head slightly.

Brother Su’s pet beast isn’t that simple; Qiuqiu possesses defensive skills and doesn’t fear short-range attacks from martial artists, unless it’s a higher-level martial artist taking action. At the same level, breaking through those twelve Ice Crystal Petals in an instant is too difficult; once held back even a moment, there’s basically no chance afterward.

Previously when facing Lin Yue, Brother Su was just defending passively, not striking proactively, and Qiuqiu hadn’t given her all; only now was it serious.

Moreover, the fire elemental power cultivated by Lin Hong and the ice power of Qiuqiu naturally countered each other.
