Chapter 30: I Can See the Beast’s Health Bar, Breaking the Record!
The Three-eyed Ant was in a panic; it had merely passed by but found itself targeted by two genius monsters.
Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin stood still, exchanging no words.
But if their gazes were swords, they had already clashed hundreds of times.
The live stream camera focused on these two—one a talented girl from the Murong family, the other a rising dark horse, Xiao Xingyu.
The competition between them had the viewers on the edge of their seats.
Yang Xu, gripping the microphone tightly, exclaimed, “Dear viewers, even through the broadcast screen, I can feel the competitive spirit between them.”
“Who will be the first to kill the Three-eyed Ant?”
“Look! Xiao Xingyu has made the first move!”
In a flash, Xiao Xingyu struck first.
The Hellwind Wolf unleashed its skill **Hell’s Bind**, ensnaring the Three-eyed Ant with eight blazing chains.
Yang Xu shouted in excitement. “The power of Hellfire is terrifying!”
“The Three-eyed Ant is known for its thick and hard shell, with armor five times that of similar magical beasts.”
“But the Hellwind Wolf’s Hellfire can ignore armor and deal real damage directly!”
The Three-eyed Ant was bound by the hellish chains, unable to move, letting out painful screeches.
“Black Blade, finish it!” Xiao Xingyu commanded decisively.
Just as the Hellwind Wolf was about to deliver the killing blow, a sound wave struck.
The sound waves transformed into countless wind blades, forcing the Hellwind Wolf to dodge.
Yang Xu slammed the table and shouted, “Murong Xinxin is making her move!”
“The Bone Wing Bat releases sound wave blades, interrupting the Hellwind Wolf’s finishing move!”
“Without missing a beat, the Bone Wing Bat unleashes its skill **Bone Spirit Cold Fire**!”
“Murong Xinxin has successfully killed the Three-eyed Ant! This proves that women can be just as fierce as men!”
The intense and thrilling scenes, paired with Yang Xu’s passionate commentary, sent shivers down the viewers’ spines.
**At the cliff’s edge.**
The Three-eyed Ant was reduced to ashes in the green flames.
In the scorched earth, only a magical beast core remained.
Murong Xinxin bent down to pick up the core and glanced at Xiao Xingyu not far away. Although she said nothing, her gaze seemed to convey a lot.
“Murong Classmate, you seem cold and indifferent on the surface, but I didn’t expect you to hold a grudge over the trial results,” Xiao Xingyu teased with a smile.
Meanwhile, the score data was updated.
Both Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin had a kill count of 51.
Yang Xu beamed with excitement. “Things just got interesting, folks!”
“As of now, Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin are tied at first place!”
“With only one hour left in the trial, let’s see who can hold onto that top position!”
At this point in the trial, everyone’s attention was focused on Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin.
Murong Xinxin represented one of the four major Beast Master families.
Xiao Xingyu represented the commoners, lacking power, influence, or a background.
Historically, there had never been a story of a grassroots youth defeating a family genius.
Next, Murong Xinxin and Xiao Xingyu continued their rivalry.
Wherever Xiao Xingyu went, Murong Xinxin followed, eager to snatch kills.
Yin Nan Mountain was divided into areas like lakes, waterfalls, dense forests, and snowy terrains, each home to different magical beasts.
No matter which area Xiao Xingyu hunted in, Murong Xinxin was right behind him, striving for the kill.
With a swift sound, a bone spike engulfed in green flames pierced through the head of a Blood Quill Porcupine.
The porcupine’s brain matter splattered everywhere, leaving viewers in the live chat feeling uneasy.
Yang Xu chuckled wryly, “It seems that Murong Xinxin is indeed holding a grudge, targeting Xiao Xingyu and stealing yet another kill from him!”
The scoreboard updated again.
**First Place:** Murong Xinxin, 89 kills
**Second Place:** Xiao Xingyu, 81 kills
At the base of a rushing waterfall, two large rocks stood five meters apart.
Xiao Xingyu was on the left, and Murong Xinxin was on the right.
In the pool beneath the waterfall, the Hellwind Wolf was cloaked in black hellfire, exposing its sharp fangs, fur bristling with anger.
The Bone Wing Bat circled in the air, emitting a ferocious cry, displaying an arrogant demeanor.
“Murong Classmate, it’s just a trial. Is it really necessary to take it so seriously?” Xiao Xingyu remarked.
Murong Xinxin remained silent, her icy gaze fixed on Xiao Xingyu as if she were a girl with a speech disability.
In the chat area, viewers were commenting furiously.
【As the ancients said: Hitting is affection, scolding is love~】
【I don’t know why, but this pair seems like they would make a great couple!】
【Not to mention, they really do look good together!】
Xiao Xingyu’s handsome appearance and carefree nature, combined with his slightly roguish smile when he laughed, made him look like a charming playboy.
reason.
Murong Xinxin, who had been quiet and uncommunicative, remained silent, staring at Xiao Xingyu as if she were a sulking wife upset with her husband.
As the professional commentator, Yang Xu couldn’t help but ship this couple.
“I must say, despite the tense atmosphere, there’s an air of ambiguity between them.”
“This pair, who seem to be at odds, I’m all in for them!”
Under the waterfall, Xiao Xingyu revealed a playful smile. “Only half an hour remains in the trial.”
“Murong Classmate, I won’t be holding back any longer!”
Yang Xu's brow furrowed. “Viewers, does this mean Xiao Xingyu is saying he didn’t give it his all before?”
With 30 minutes left in the trial, Xiao Xingyu suppressed his playful demeanor. A flicker of red light glimmered in his eyes as he activated his **Demon God’s Eye**.
“Black Blade, go!”
Xiao Xingyu rode his Hellwind Wolf, pursuing a fleeing Frost Magic Rabbit.
Murong Xinxin commanded her Bone Wing Bat, ready to snatch another kill.
Yang Xu maintained his passionate and professional commentary. “With only 30 minutes left in the trial, everyone’s energy is nearing depletion, including Xiao Xingyu and Murong Xinxin.”
“This makes every opportunity for their beasts to unleash skills incredibly precious.”
“At this moment, Murong Xinxin is attempting to use the same trick to steal a kill!”
Under Murong Xinxin's command, the Bone Wing Bat flapped its wings, generating a powerful gust that pushed the Hellwind Wolf aside.
Boom~
The Bone Wing Bat unleashed a blast of green flames, engulfing the Frost Magic Rabbit.
This was the Bone Wing Bat’s signature skill, **Bone Spirit Cold Fire**.
In the past half hour, under Murong Xinxin’s precise command, the Bone Wing Bat had snatched five or six kills using this skill.
Yang Xu noticed a close-up of Xiao Xingyu. “Strangely, Xiao Xingyu appears to be smiling…”
“Wait! This isn’t right!”
Yang Xu jumped up excitedly, his voice trembling. “The Frost Magic Rabbit isn’t dead yet!”
“The Bone Wing Bat’s damage isn’t enough; it’s still hanging on!”
Murong Xinxin froze, not expecting to make a judgment error.
The Frost Magic Rabbit, hit by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, was severely injured but still alive.
Just as Murong Xinxin was momentarily stunned, a flash occurred.
The claw mark of the wolf struck with precision.
The Frost Magic Rabbit lost its last shred of life.
Xiao Xingyu picked up the magical beast core and smiled at Murong Xinxin. “Murong Classmate, I’m about to get serious.”
**At Qinglong Academy, Central Square.**
In the judges' area, Dean Su Ruyan was focused on the broadcast screen, observing all of Xiao Xingyu's actions.
“This kid seems to have accurately gauged that the Bone Wing Bat’s damage was just shy of a kill, allowing him to make a precise follow-up.”
“Without years of battlefield experience, it would be impossible to possess such remarkable predictive capabilities.”
“Xiao Xingyu, you truly are a monster…”
At this moment, Xiao Xingyu’s pupils glimmered with a flickering red hue.
Deep within his pupils, two black needles spun like the hour and minute hands of a clock, moving counterclockwise.
One of the abilities of the **Demon God’s Eye** was to see the exact health of both magical beasts and their summoned beasts.
From Xiao Xingyu’s perspective, a health bar displayed over the Frost Magic Rabbit.
The attack power of the Bone Wing Bat would gradually decrease as Murong Xinxin’s energy drained.
Xiao Xingyu could easily predict that after the Bone Wing Bat unleashed the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Frost Magic Rabbit would still retain a sliver of health.
With this ability, as long as Xiao Xingyu wanted to steal a kill, no one could outpace him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is starting to reverse!”
“Xiao Xingyu has snatched the kill from Murong Xinxin for the Fire Domain Wolf!”
“Unfortunately, the Bone Wing Bat’s attack was just a bit shy this time!”
“Is it luck on Murong Xinxin’s part, or is it Xiao Xingyu’s predictive abilities that are stronger?”
Time flew by.
With only 5 minutes remaining in the trial, the scoreboard updated.
**First Place:** Xiao Xingyu, 110 kills
**Second Place:** Murong Xinxin, 89 kills
The live stream erupted into chaos, with comments flooding the chat.
Yang Xu gripped the microphone tightly, shouting excitedly. “Incredible, incredible, incredible!”
“Xiao Xingyu has broken the historical record set by Ye Shuangning!”
“With only 5 minutes left in the trial, Xiao Xingyu has already set a new record with 110 kills!”
Previously, Ye Shuangning had set the record during the Yin Nan Mountain Trial by hunting 109 magical beasts.
People thought this record would stand for at least fifty years.
But just a year later, that record was shattered by Ye Shuangning’s junior, Xiao Xingyu.
If anyone was the biggest victim in this situation, it was not Ye Shuangning but Murong Xinxin.
Since half an hour earlier, Murong Xinxin’s kill count had remained fixed at 89.
From that point onward, every time she left a magical beast on the brink of death, Xiao Xingyu would swoop in to steal the kill.
The reason was clear: Murong Xinxin had at least provided twenty assists.
Xiao Xingyu picked up a magical beast core, a mischievous smile creeping onto his lips. “Murong Classmate, thank you for making this wedding dress for me.”
“I’ve broken Ye Shuangning’s record, and you played a part in it!”
Murong Xinxin shot him a resentful glare, finally speaking up. “Old Six!”
This was the first time Murong Xinxin had addressed a man other than her older brother, Murong Yangshuo.
“Thank you for the compliment, Murong Classmate!” Xiao Xingyu responded cheekily.
“…”
Murong Xinxin had never felt so speechless, the last time being an unforgettable moment not long ago.
