Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

A night passed without words, and it was already the last day of the tournament.

When Chu Chen and his companions arrived at the dueling arena, they found it was already a sea of people. Even the sky was filled with various Guardian Beasts, a spectacle that could only be described as magnificent.

There were some changes within the arena; the original hundred platforms had all been removed and replaced with five circular platforms, each fifty zhang in size.

Shortly after Chu Chen and others sat down, Zhao Qianshan arrived at the podium. He gestured for the audience to quiet down and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Next, let's invite the master of our Cyan Dragon Daoist School to encourage all our contestants."

As his voice fell, everyone stopped talking and focused their eyes on the podium.

At this moment, a robust middle-aged man walked to the center of the podium.

He was wearing a cyan robe with an incredibly imposing cyan giant dragon embroidered on his chest.

Standing at eight chi tall with a resolute face and well-defined features, just his presence alone exuded a sense of authority and dominance.

"Hello everyone, my name is Long Batian. Welcome to watch this year's Youth Daoist School Exchange Tournament,..."

The leader's speech was not short, and half an hour passed by.

At this point, Zhao Qianshan stepped forward again to the center of the podium. He raised his hand and announced loudly, "Now I declare the tournament officially begins."

As his words fell, the staff immediately sprang into action.

Very soon, the first set of numbers was drawn.

First up was Long Yunxiao, and his opponent was Wang Ming from White Tiger City.

As the two walked onto the stage, Wang Ming said helplessly, "Brother Long, please go easy on me later. My luck really is bad, isn't it?"

Long Yunxiao nodded in response, "I didn't expect to meet you either, but wouldn't it be better for you to concede?"

Wang Ming sighed, "I would like to, but the master wouldn't agree."

"Looks like you're being used as a tool."

"No choice but to, though I'd also like to see the gap between us."

Long Yunxiao said somewhat helplessly, "Well then, it's bound to be exposed sooner or later." With that, he summoned the Cyan Wood Wind Python.

Upon seeing this, Wang Ming also summoned his Guardian Beast, a perfectly bred white tiger, which had reached the Fifth Rank Commander Level.

Long Yunxiao smiled and commented, "Your Frost White Tiger is quite well nurtured; it should have awakened its bloodline power, right?"

Wang Ming replied with a smile, "I was just lucky to have recently obtained a piece of essence blood, which led to a breakthrough."

"Nice, then let's begin."

"Alright."

The Cyan Wood Wind Python rapidly twisted its body, charging toward the Frost White Tiger.

Its speed was extremely fast, and in a single breath, it crossed several dozen zhang to reach the Frost White Tiger.

The Frost White Tiger dared not confront it directly. If ensnared, it would undoubtedly lose.

It was swift and agile, continually circling the Cyan Wood Wind Python, trying to find its weaknesses.

Long Yunxiao deliberately let the Cyan Wood Wind Python expose flaws. With its tremendous regenerative abilities, unless the Frost White Tiger could be defeated instantly, it was destined to be counter-killed.

Wang Ming understood this well and dared not let the Frost White Tiger attack.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed helplessly, "Looks like I can only use my trump card."

With that, the Frost White Tiger suddenly retreated, and dense ice elements swiftly gathered around it.

Seeing this, Long Yunxiao was rather resigned. Though he didn't want to use his trump card, it seemed now unavoidable.

The Cyan Wood Wind Python let out a low hiss, using a secret technique.

Its aura surged from the Sixth Rank Commander Level directly to the Peak of Commander Level.

The Frost White Tiger used its talent and secret technique, and its aura also climbed to the Peak of Commander Level.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Now it's barely fair. Are you sure you can defeat me with just a secret technique?"

Long Yunxiao smiled back, "We'll know after we try."

Neither wasted more words, and they directed the two beasts to start fighting immediately.

Two minutes later, the Frost White Tiger's stamina was exhausted first, and Wang Ming had no choice but to concede.

At this moment, Zhao Qianshan walked over to Long Batian's side and whispered, "Master, Young Master Long's strength is truly formidable. Wang Ming's cultivation talent is Blue Rank Upper Grade, just a step away from becoming a Double S-level prodigy, yet even with full effort, he is still no match for Young Master Long."

Long Batian frowned slightly at these words, "His performance is just average. After consuming so many resources, if he couldn't even defeat Wang Ming, our Cyan Dragon Daoist School would be a laughing stock."

Zhao Qianshan hastily added, "Young Master Long is hiding his strength. Otherwise, he would have defeated Wang Ming long ago."

This time, Long Batian did not refute because Zhao Qianshan's words were true.

He nodded and said, "The one called Chu Chen you mentioned earlier, how is this lad's strength?"

Zhao Qianshan's spirit lifted upon hearing the question, and he responded with a smile, "This boy's strength is not weak. Up to now, he has only used secret techniques, but based on his performance in the Second-Level Secret Realm, he should have other methods. Unless he encounters those Double S-level prodigies early, he has a chance to make it to the top ten."

Long Batian was slightly surprised to hear Zhao Qianshan give such a high evaluation.

"It seems you have high hopes for him," Long Batian said with a smile.

Zhao Qianshan nodded and replied, "This young fellow is indeed extraordinary. Although his cultivation talent is only Yellow Rank Upper Grade, it is said he obtained some Thousand-Year Stalactite Liquid in the Second-Level Secret Realm, which raised his cultivation talent to Green Rank Lower Grade. Moreover, he comes from Celestial Star City, with a very modest family background. If he can achieve good results, wouldn't that perfectly prove your philosophy of education without discrimination?"
