Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

After the two stepped onto the arena, a middle-aged burly man emerged from the crowd, applying a little force to his right leg and directly leaping onto the arena.

The arena was two meters high, and the man could easily jump onto it with a light leap, indicating how strong he was.

Just as the crowd was speculating about the man's identity, he directly introduced himself.

"Hello, students. I'm Sun Ming, the practical combat teacher of the Elite Class. I'm heartened to see how much you love combat. I'll be the referee for this sparring session. I assume no one has any objections."

The onlookers shook their heads in response.

"Very well, let's begin. I am quite looking forward to seeing your strength," Sun Ming said excitedly.

The two wasted no more words and directly summoned their Guardian Beasts.

Qian Jiadong's Guardian Beast was a tiger-type beast, with a shoulder height of about two meters and a body length of up to four meters. Its fur was black, adorned with gray stripes, and its tiger eyes flickered with a piercing cold light. Its limbs were extremely sturdy, and its sharp claws and teeth were like weapons, exuding an aura of intimidation without being angry.

Judging by its size, it was not far from the Mature Stage, which had a lot to do with its usual diet. This was the benefit of having resources.

Chu Chen dared not be negligent and directly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information of this tiger-like Guardian Beast.

Star Beast Name: Wind Demon Tiger

Life Level: Growth Stage

Star Beast Quality: Elite Level (Upper Grade)

Star Beast Talent: Mad Demon

Star Beast Level: Ninth Rank Slave Level

Power Talent: D-level

Defense Talent: E-level

Agility Talent: D+ Level

Physical Talent: E-level

Soul Power Talent: F-level

Star Power Talent: D-level

Star Beast Attribute: Wind-Dark Dual Element

Star Beast Skills: Tearing Claw (Ordinary Level, Mastery Realm), Intimidation (Ordinary Level, Mastery Realm), Dark Wave (Elite Level, Skilled Realm), Wind Arrow (Elite Level, Skilled Realm)

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh; the Wind Demon Tiger was simply a killing machine, with all its skills primarily focused on attack.

From the growth talents, its power reached D-level, and its speed reached D+ level, meaning its speed and power were extremely formidable.

But its physical talent was only E-level, meaning it had extremely strong bursting power but wasn't good at prolonged battles.

In contrast, Lei Yao, with its beast attribute, had strengths in power, defense, and endurance. As long as the opponent was dragged into a long fight, victory was assured. However, Chu Chen didn't want to take that approach.

If he was going to teach Qian Jiadong a lesson, he aimed to defeat him in his strongest domain.

Sun Ming nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the two Guardian Beasts. At this stage, the cultivation of both Guardian Beasts was commendable.

"Alright, let the sparring begin," Sun Ming said in a deep voice.

As soon as Sun Ming's words fell, Qian Jiadong couldn't wait to command the Wind Demon Tiger to take the lead in the attack.

The Wind Demon Tiger was extremely fast, covering several zhang in a few leaps and bound to position in front of Lei Yao, raising its sharp claws directly towards Lei Yao's face.

Seeing this, Lei Yao dared not be negligent and directly raised its right fist to strike up.

"Bang"

The collision of fist and claw produced a dull sound, and the massive body of the Wind Demon Tiger was directly shaken back. In contrast, Lei Yao stood still, the superiority clear with just one strike.

Qian Jiadong's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

The Wind Demon Tiger had fought in no fewer than a hundred battles large and small, making it rare to fall short in a contest of power.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise, assuming that Chu Chen's first-place in the practical combat assessment was merely a stroke of luck.

But now, it seemed that things were far more than they had imagined.

"It seems I underestimated you. Next, I'll show you my true strength," Qian Jiadong coldly said.

Chu Chen responded calmly, "Then I'll await your performance."

"Hmph, Wind Demon Tiger, attack with full force."

Hearing this, the Wind Demon Tiger let out a roar, and an intangible pressure directly descended on Lei Yao.

Qian Jiadong immediately showed a smile of joy and hurriedly commanded the Wind Demon Tiger to charge at Lei Yao.

Lei Yao remained unmoved, still standing in place.

The massive tiger claw struck towards Lei Yao's head again; if the claw landed accurately, even with Lei Yao's defense, it would be severely injured.

Just as the claw was about to land, Lei Yao suddenly let out a yell, followed by a ferocious aura surging from its body.

The Wind Demon Tiger, intimidated by this aura, suddenly became rigid.

Without waiting for Chu Chen's command, Lei Yao raised its fist and struck the Wind Demon Tiger's face hard, breaking one of its sharp tiger teeth and sending its body flying.

The Wind Demon Tiger landed heavily on the ground, letting out a wail of pain from its mouth.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's lips curved slightly; this was the Wind Demon Tiger's skill Intimidation, which would cause an opponent to be momentarily rigid if overwhelmed by the tiger's might, allowing for a fatal blow during this gap.

However, the Wind Demon Tiger seemed unlucky as it encountered Lei Yao.

In the beast tide, Lei Yao had even killed a Shadow Wolf King, so such a level of intimidation had no effect whatsoever on it.

At this, the students watching issued a chorus of "boo" sounds; the Wind Demon Tiger looked imposing but getting embarrassed consecutively made them question its true strength.

Qian Jiadong's face turned gloomy at the sight, initially thinking that using the combination skill of Intimidation and Tearing Claw would secure an easy win, only to find the Thunder Ape was so challenging.

However, there was one point he hadn't figured out: the roar from the Thunder Ape just now caused the Wind Demon Tiger to become rigid, and its effect seemed even stronger than Intimidation.

According to what he knew, the Thunder Ape tribe didn't seem to have skills similar to Intimidation. How exactly had the opponent achieved this?

At this, Sun Ming seemed to remember something, pointing at Lei Yao, he asked Chu Chen, "Does your Thunder Ape possess Evil Qi?"

Chu Chen scratched his head and replied, "Ever since experiencing the beast tide, it seems to have gained this ability, though I'm not sure exactly what it is."

Sun Ming shook his head and said, "No, in order to form Evil Qi, it needs to kill a large number of Star Beasts, preferably those stronger than it, and also experience life-and-death crises before it's possible to form Evil Qi."

With a look of realization, Chu Chen reflected, since contracting Lei Yao, he had accumulated Slaughter Value by slaying Star Beasts at Food is Heaven and even killed many Star Beasts of higher rank.

Later in the practical assessment, he killed a large number of Gray Rock Ants.

Finally, he endured the beast tide, killing the Ant Queen and the Shadow Wolf King.

The Ant Queen's realm was at the Peak of War General Level, and the Shadow Wolf King was at the Commander Level, their realms far exceeding Lei Yao.

Lei Yao experienced life-and-death crises twice: first, being besieged by the Fire Cloud Dog, and second, the blackened Shadow Wolf King.

Perhaps it was due to a build-up of too much, leading to a qualitative change, granting Lei Yao the Evil Qi.
