My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Next, the pace of the whole tournament suddenly sped up.

All of Liu Li's opponents turned out to be Low Tier Commander Level Ghost Race members, obviously arranged by the Great Elder.

But...

A mysterious member of the Ghost Race who was always shrouded in a black robe suddenly rose to prominence.

Just like Liu Li, not a single defeat!

Even when facing Peak Commander Level Ghost Race members, he won easily.

Soon, all the other contestants were eliminated.

The last two spots were Liu Li and this dark horse.

And at this moment, the two were arranged by the Great Elder to face each other.

"Finals Arena, Liu Li VS Ghost Jiu!"

After reading out the matchup, the Great Elder looked at Liu Li as if looking at a dead person.

This Ghost Jiu was exactly the piece he had secretly arranged, strength already at Monarch Tier Five.

He had long since given a death order...

Even if his real strength was exposed, he had to take down this Angel at all costs!

But what he hadn't expected at all...

A playful glint flashed in Gu Xing's eyes.

Ghost Jiu's information had long been thoroughly understood by Gu Xing.

[Ghost Jiu]

[Status: Power Suppression]

[Level: Monarch Tier Five]

[Talent: Half-Step Myth]

[Power: 140,000]

[Constitution: 130,000]

[Spirit: 60,000]

[Speed: 120,000]

[Skills: Ghost King's Body, Ghost Race Four Techniques...]

Gu Xing stared at the information on the system panel, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The Great Elder had gone to great lengths to hide this Monarch Level powerhouse, the reason was obvious...

He was going to kill Liu Li!

Except...

Even though he knew it was a trap, Gu Xing was ready to jump in.

He turned his gaze towards Tushan Yueli, who immediately gave him a friendly nod.

Now, he could already see that Tushan Yueli wanted to form an alliance with the Human Race.

And the reason she was willing to ally with humans...

A huge part of it was because of him!

And the strength he had revealed so far was only his Guardian Beast.

To prove his true value, he intended to display his own talent.

At the same time.....

He was also curious about Liu Li's current strength—just how powerful had she become?

"Contestants, please come to the stage!"

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, Ghost Jiu instantly flashed onto the stage.

The Ghost Race members in the stands immediately started chattering.

"Where did this Ghost Race guy come from? How could he take out so many Peak Commander Ghosts, and why haven't we heard anything about him before?"

"Who cares, now it's just this Ghost Jiu and that Angel left—he's our last hope! We can't just watch that Angel take first place in our tournament, right? That'd be embarrassing!"

"Exactly! It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he's one of us Ghost Race."

"But why hasn't that Angel gotten on stage yet? What's she waiting for?"

As everyone murmured, the Ghost Race Great Elder walked up to Gu Xing, confused.

"Human, why aren't you letting your Guardian Beast take the stage?"

Gu Xing met his gaze, half-smiling:

"Great Elder, Guardian Beast and Beast Master are a single unit—why separate them?"

He glanced meaningfully at the ring:

"Besides...that Ghost Race guy on stage doesn't seem simple, huh?"

Hearing Gu Xing's words, the Great Elder's heart skipped a beat.

Could this human have figured out Ghost Jiu is Monarch Level?

But soon he shook his head and ruled out that guess.

No way!

This human had just asked to enter the ring together with his Guardian Beast.

If he knew that Ghost Jiu on the stage was Monarch Level, why would he walk into certain death?

Thinking this, the Ghost Race Great Elder instantly relaxed.

But since this human wants to die...

He'll help him out!

"You make sense."

The Great Elder put on an obviously fake smile.

"Beast Masters really ought to fight alongside their Guardian Beasts. So this match, you and your Guardian Beast can both go on stage."

A glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes—but Gu Xing saw right through it all.

Gu Xing shook his head slightly, thinking how naïve the Great Elder was to believe that a mere Monarch Tier Five could take him down?

Then, he turned and nodded to Liu Li beside him.

Liu Li immediately understood.

The next moment, she brought Gu Xing straight onto the arena.

The Ghost Race watching saw Gu Xing go on stage and were stunned, but upon learning it was arranged by the Great Elder, they didn't say much.

Ghost Jiu's whole body was still hidden under his black robe, like a lifeless puppet, barely even seeming to breathe.

In the stands, Tushan Yueli, relying on her powerful Spiritual Power, immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Lilith!"

She lowered her voice, "That Ghost Race guy is at least Middle Tier Monarch. How can you let Gu Xing go on stage?"

Lilith just lazily leaned back in her chair, crimson lips curled in a mysterious smile:

"Relax!"

She knew all too well...

In this bunch of Guardian Beasts, the most outrageous one was never the beast itself...

But Gu Xing—the Beast Master!

That talent which could instantly double all Attributes, combined with that totally overpowered Domain Suppression...

Not to mention Liu Li's current power was enough to threaten even her, a Monarch Tier Five.

With Gu Xing's buff, that Angel's combat power was probably already at High Tier Monarch Level!

If that Monarch Level Ghost Race could even scratch Gu Xing, that would be a miracle.

So, Lilith wasn't worried at all—in fact, she looked playfully at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder didn't even notice Lilith's mocking gaze.

He was totally focused on the ring, eyes gleaming with unhealthy excitement.

Soon, this damned human and that Angel would both be sent to Hell!

Plus, he'd already instructed nine other Elders to get ready...

As soon as he gives the order, they'll move to take out the Blood Race at once.

By that time...

He could finally make the Divine Pattern recognize him as master!

"The finals, begin!"

With his order, the whole coliseum erupted in excitement.

Ghost Jiu's black robe began to ripple with power, and a suffocating Monarch's pressure exploded!

"Boom——!"

The wild Monarch's pressure crashed over the arena like a tsunami, shredding Ghost Jiu's robe to pieces, revealing a body covered in strange markings.

He didn't waste a word—immediately activated his strongest state:

"Ghost King's Body!"

"Star Shattering!"

He hadn't forgotten the Great Elder's order, so he went all out.

Under the boost of Ghost King's Body and Star Shattering, his Strength Attribute instantly broke past 300,000!

This was the terror of Monarch Level Ghost Race!

Even though his skill boosts weren't as good as Qing Shuang's, with 140,000 Basic Attributes, he could still reach an insanely scary height.

Seeing all this, the stands went silent—the Ghost Race members' eyes widened:

"Wh-What...that Ghost Race is Monarch Level?"

"This isn't right! For the Ghost Race Tournament, the max should be Commander Level—why is there a Monarch Level Ghost Race here?"

"That Angel...is dead!"

Other than Lilith...

No one present thought Liu Li stood a chance against Ghost Jiu, Monarch Tier Five.
