Chapter 582: Quasi-Divine Beast? Die!

The black gas that Evil Wind had released gradually dispersed. As a quasi-Divine Beast, Evil Wind possessed a formidable ability, which could be seen by how much it was able to corrode the Silver Desert armor.

Fortunately, Evil Wind’s attack, while powerful, did not last a long time. Xia Fei stood against the black wind, his face cold and grim.

Not only was there the corrosive poison, the expert hidden behind Evil Wind had chosen to exploit Xia Fei’s momentary haste to clear out his will from Evil Wind’s mind!

Such a powerful move!

Xia Fei’s planned offensive had utterly failed. In the first round, Nie Ying and Evil Wind got a complete victory over Xia Fei and Furball!

Even the Beast Spirit Codex lost to Nie Ying’s Law of Thundercloud Beast!

“He’s not dead!”

“Liquid war armor! Xia Fei’s wearing liquid war armor! That sort of high-level armor is extremely tough. Ordinary armor would probably be completely ruined. After all, Evil Wind’s poison is more effective against tough alloys, but liquid war armor is made from the most bizarre liquid metal, so there’s an essential difference there.”

“Xia Fei has liquid war armor, but his Shatterstar doesn’t. Is that cute Holy Beast okay?”

The spectators were all fearful. There was no way that Furball could resist this poisonous gas that could corrode metal into dust.

*Whoosh~*

A ball jumped onto Xia Fei’s shoulder, furiously growling.

It was none other than Holy Beast Shatterstar! Xia Fei’s personal exotic beast!

However, Furball appeared to be in a rather sorry state this time, his beautiful white fur was mangled, like hair that had not been washed in eight hundred years, matted and gnarled like a carpet that someone had picked out of the trash. He was far from his majestic and intimidating state.

“Haha! Holy Beast Shatterstar turned out like that? It seems like there’s no way Xia Fei can hold on. Without the Holy Beast’s help, how can Xia Fei fight against Evil Wind?”

“I think so, too. If even Holy Beast Shatterstar got off this badly, Xia Fei should be thinking about escaping by now if he knows what’s good for him.”

Mocking laughter broke out in the crowd, but a handsome young man in white and floaty robes argued, “Don’t you think that it’s odd that a quasi-Divine Beast managed to make such a mess out of a Holy Beast?”

“Eh?”

Once this was pointed out, everyone truly did find it strange. Yes, Furball was many ranks higher than Evil Wind, so it was very abnormal for it to be beaten into this state.

“I don’t know the reason, but I can guarantee you that that Holy Beast Shatterstar is positively furious! How could a Holy Beast’s dignity be profaned by others? The result? The result will be very difficult to predict!”

On the distant platform, Nie Ying wiped some sweat off. Although he had successfully banished Xia Fei’s consciousness from Evil Wind’s mind, he had no intention of relaxing. On the contrary, he even became more nervous.

As a beast tamer expert, Nie Ying could sense the shifting of Furball’s demeanor. He knew that, even if he did not want to, he would have to face the wrath of a Holy Beast!

“Raaaa!”

Yet another guttural row that was brimming with killing intent, a resolve to win, and the pride that Holy Beasts were born with.

Evil Wind backed away!

It burrowed its head into its long green fur, not daring to meet Furball’s god-killing glare!

No matter how stupid Evil Wind was, it knew that it had provoked someone it should not have. This was an indescribable fear, that deathly energy so close that no one could refuse it.

Xia Fei frowned, whispering to Furball, “Are you injured?”

Furball could understand what Xia Fei was saying and lightly shook his head, but his eyes remained fixed on Evil Wind.

The fire in his eyes grew larger and larger, his small mouth opening and closing. Furball was like an old monk muttering sutra, saying something that no one could understand.

It was just a string of random syllables, and Xia Fei naturally could not understand it, but on the other side, Evil Wind began to shiver from these words. In the distance, Beast Taming Master Nie Ying’s face turned icy-cold!

“Teacher, what happened?” Khedira noticed how grim Nie Ying had become and sternly asked.

Nie Ying did not answer, but his palm swiftly turned over, powerful energy rising from it.

“Law of Thundercloud Beast! Haste, fuse, intimidate!”

*Rumble!*

There was an explosion that felt like the air was tearing apart. The candidates hurriedly turned to look and realized that two proctors and an emaciated elder were standing together, and that elder was radiating a white light that made him seem like a god descending from the heavens!

“What’s going on here?”

“Who’s that old man?”

While the candidates were still confused about Nie Ying’s identity, the Law of Thundercloud Beast activated!

*Bang!*

The white light on Nie Ying’s body exploded, flying out like a comet toward Evil Wind!

*Rumble!*

The white comet struck Evil Wind, and at that point, the enormous figure of the quasi-Divine Beast was enveloped in light. Its body began to shrink; a few moments later, it had become a little pangolin the size of a palm!

“Senior Nie Ying, what are you doing?” Lu Qiuyan asked in a panic.

Nie Ying’s actions were so obvious that even a fool could tell that he was controlling Evil Wind. As the chief proctor, Lu Qiuyan naturally could not just sit around.

“Don’t ask. Teacher has a plan! Look! The true contest is starting!” Khedira grabbed her and sternly said.

“Harrumph!”

Furball grunted, and Evil Wind backed away three more steps.

Suddenly, Furball jumped onto the ground and began to swagger toward Evil Wind. He was like a warrior in bloodlust—a saber in his hand ready to take the head of his foe.

The green-furred pangolin was enclosed in white light. This was Nie Ying’s Law of Thundercloud Beast, which he was using to control Evil Wind and stop it from retreating as it faced Furball, but as Evil Wind advanced, its eyes were full of despair.

“Awoooo!”

At a distance of no more than two meters, Furball and Evil Wind opened their mouths and roared at each other!

Corrosive black gas gushed out of Evil Wind’s mouth as it prepared to take down Furball!

Using the same tactic twice in a row was taboo for strategists. How could Holy Beast Shatterstar fall for the same trick twice?

Like a powerful hairdryer, Furball sent back the black wind which had been blown in his direction!

The alloy floorboards cracked, and deep fissures began to appear in the ground below!

It was only the sound coming out of his mouth, but this sound was tearing apart the earth!

“So powerful! Still, since you can’t attack, what can you do?!” Nie Ying sneered.

Although Evil Wind was very afraid, Nie Ying’s powerful law was compelling it to step closer and closer to Furball, its white teeth mottled with yellow spots emitting a nauseating odor!

Furball was getting rather anxious. Xia Fei had already ordered that he was not allowed to attack Evil Wind, so he was relying on his voice and presence to suppress it. Furball normally would not have taken a mere quasi-Divine Beast seriously, but that Evil Wind had a powerful beast taming master behind it!

This simply was not a fair fight!

In normal circumstances, Evil Wind would have been dead a hundred times over, but today, the mighty Holy Beast Shatterstar could do nothing to it!

Furball’s eyes filled with blood, on the verge of tears!

Frustration!

Incredible frustration!

Xia Fei’s opponent was not a quasi-Divine Beast but rather a quasi-Divine Beast and a master beast tamer with law power!

The strengths on both sides had never been equal; besides, Xia Fei and Furball could not even hit back! They were being forced down!

Nie Ying smiled, his face smug. The rules were right there, and no matter how formidable Furball or how cunning Xia Fei, they could not attack. From the start of this battle, Nie Ying was undefeatable. This was why he had sworn to give Xia Fei a harsh lesson, for he was truly capable of such a thing.

Just when Nie Ying was delighting in humiliating Xia Fei, the situation suddenly changed!

No one was able to make out what Xia Fei did, and by the time they realized what was going on, Xia Fei had already thrust the Blood Crystal into Evil Wind’s tough shell!

A wicked smile on his lips, Xia Fei put strength into his arms and twisted!

Evil Wind let out a heart-wrenching screech!

The bloodthirsty dagger crazily sucked away Evil Wind’s essence blood, absorbing its life!

It was not just Evil Wind. Even the distant Nie Ying felt like he was being emptied out!

The strength he had poured into Evil Wind was rapidly disappearing!

Xia Fei had killed it?

Did he not know that the rules forbid attacking the exotic beasts?!

“Screw your rules!” Xia Fei viciously said.

*Whoosh~*

Xia Fei pulled out the Blood Crystal and proudly stood tall.

*Bang!*

With all its blood drained, Evil Wind was left a dried-out husk. Xia Fei stomped on it and instantly broke it into pieces!

All of his frustration was instantly swept away!

Yes, Xia Fei truly could not suppress a quasi-Divine Beast under the control of a beast taming master, but Xia Fei could kill it!

Consequences?

Rules?

If Xia Fei cared about such things, he would not be Xia Fei!

*Pah!*

Xia Fei spat at Evil Wind’s body and raised his head, callously gazing at Nie Ying and the other two, the look of betrayal in his eyes.

Everyone was stupefied. No one had imagined that the end of this absurd exam would be just as absurd. Xia Fei killed a quasi-Divine Beast in front of everyone else!

In truth, Xia Fei was not the only warrior who felt frustrated at the inability to strike back against the exotic beasts, but all of them had chosen to just bear with it, and even when they accidentally punched a beast once or twice, they would still feel regret.

However, Xia Fei had no shred of regret. He had clearly done this on purpose!

This was probably how Xia Fei differed the most from the other candidates. He faced the same unfair rules, but when the vast majority of people chose to endure them, Xia Fei decided to break the rules, heedless of the consequences!

“I’ve wronged you just now.” When Furball jumped back onto Xia Fei’s shoulder, he threw him a grade 4 Origin Crystal and even helped him comb his messy fur.

Everyone else just glared in dumbfounded amazement, not knowing how to describe Xia Fei’s conduct.

*Plush!*

Nie Ying vomited blood, his body swaying. Gritting his teeth, he sternly said, “I can’t believe it! He’s… so unreasonable!”
