Chapter 458 - 262: Little Fox’s Sixth Skill: Phoenix Karmic Fire
When the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King entered the stage, several Demon Kings on the platform exchanged glances, and the Ghost Hunting Wolf King among them unconsciously lifted its head.
Although it didn’t know what happened when the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King pursued the Unicorn to the Spirit Academy, it had been practicing diligently ever since returning.
The potential of the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King is now immense; although it hasn’t yet achieved an invincible stance, at this growth rate, it will undoubtedly surpass it in the future.
With the referee’s announcement, both parties entered the field.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts also remembered the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King; after all, it had once survived a tribulation gained from a battle with the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King.
As soon as it stepped onto the field, the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King showed a murderous intent and activated the hunting bloodline of the Ghost Hunting Wolf to initiate an attack on the Nine Tribulation Beasts.
From the start, both sides engaged in a close combat melee, trading blows back and forth.
During this period, the Nine Tribulation Beasts have grown significantly, surviving another tribulation, and is now Tier Five with a Blast Flame Body.
Yet, even after activating the Tier Five Blast Flame Body, the Ghost Hunting Wolf can still exchange attacks evenly.
"This little wolf cub’s strength has grown so much." Lin Chen was incredibly surprised.
After failing to make progress, under Fang You’s direction, the Nine Tribulation Beasts directly activated its ultimate move. But the strength growth of the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King was frighteningly impressive, as it actually took the Nine Tribulation Beasts’ ultimate move head-on.
This caused the expressions of Lin Chen and others to change dramatically.
"Oh no..."
Zhang Suqing was well aware that the Nine Tribulation Beasts had only one trump card left, which was the Super Overload.
However, once the Super Overload is activated, the Nine Tribulation Beasts would be unable to continue fighting.
Lin Chen remained silent, waiting for Fang You to make his decision.
This time, Fang You was not hesitant at all. In this battle for the Human Race, as long as he wins, aiding the Humans to eliminate a strong enemy, Fang You’s goal would be achieved.
"Super Overload!"
Fang You issued the command.
The Nine Tribulation Beasts roared, once again activating the Super Overload, with its entire aura soaring suddenly.
The pupils of the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King flashed a trace of cunning, and upon seeing this scene, Lin Chen was suddenly stunned, having a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the Ghost Hunting Wolf only dodged without attacking, having clearly heard about Fang You’s Nine Tribulation Beasts’ skill.
In the delay battle, the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King’s pupils flashed a hint of ferocity the moment the Super Overload ended, but fortunately, Fang You promptly called for surrender.
The Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King’s claws halted suddenly, for if it continued to attack, it would be violating the rules and directly losing its qualification.
After accomplishing all this, the Little Ghost Hunting Wolf King gave a mocking glance at the Nine Tribulation Beasts and Fang You, finally leaving abruptly.
Witnessing this scene, the audience was filled with rage, lamenting regretfully that the Nine Tribulation Beasts’ strength increased significantly upon entering Super Overload.
It’s unfortunate that the opponent clearly knew about Fang You’s use of this skill at the Beast Fighting Conference beforehand, hence being prepared.
Following this, Wu Chen faced his second opponent at the forty-level stage, and the Three-headed Dog continued to impress, easily defeating the opponent to become a two-time podium master.
Meanwhile, the Human Race was defeated again at the fifty-level stage, marking a three-game losing streak.
The sixty-level stage was also not spared, being reclaimed by the temporary podium master.
However, at the seventy-level stage, the Human Race began to exert itself, ending the opponent’s two-game winning streak.
Thus, the third round concluded.
...
After the match, the Great Elder was called for a meeting, and the situation in the third round was much worse than in the second round.
The current scenario is that the opponent is a two-time podium master at the ten-level stage, a three-time podium master at the twenty-level stage, and the Demon Race has occupied the podium at the thirty-level stage. Wu Chen achieved a two-time victory at the forty-level stage, while the Demon Race is a three-time podium master at the fifty-level stage, with Humans being the podium master at the seventy-level stage.
So, the situation is very unfavorable because the Human Race leaders do not want the Demon Race to secure four wins too early.
Because once they secure four wins, the fifth win becomes extremely risky.
This time, the Great Elder attended the meeting for half a day, and upon returning, informed Lin Chen that Dubhe Pavilion had already issued an order for the previously internally selected seed players to take action.
"I think Senior Brother is enough; I might not even need to step in," Lin Chen said upon hearing this.
The seed-level players stepping in should alleviate some of the current pressure.
After completing the first three rounds, the situation is uneasy, and the Human Race is facing significant pressure, requiring someone to uplift the morale.
"Where did the National Preceptor go?" After pondering for a long time, Lin Chen finally asked this question.
The Great Elder replied, "Don’t worry, whether they’ll fight is another matter, and even if they do, it will be after the conference ends."
The Great Elder sighed deeply at this point.
To him, Zhong Nan is both the National Preceptor and a former comrade in arms.
But now, each of them represents different forces and cannot get too close.
Yet, Zhong Nan’s fate has already been decided...
He won’t survive the fate of Rejuvenation Skill.
After a brief conversation, Lin Chen returned to his residence and released Xiaobai and the others. Ever since Xiaolan Fish’s level skyrocketed, it has been much less sleepy, and it usually swims around energetically.
But the three Spirit Beasts, Xiaobai among them, are engrossed in cultivation, so Xiaolan Fish dares not disturb them, and thus its eyes lit up when it saw Lin Chen and immediately clung to him.
"Alright, alright..."
Unable to withstand its enthusiasm, Lin Chen gave it a bottle of milk and then asked, "Where’s the Little Fox?"
"Gulu~~"
The Xiaolan Fish informed Lin Chen that the Little Fox is still cultivating in the Beast Taming Space.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen perceived a distinct scent.
