My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Although Gu Xing hardly made a move, Li Yan, as a Tier Five Beast Master, keenly sensed that the rumors were likely inaccurate.

This young man, said to have obtained an SSS rating through cheating, might be more complicated than that.

"The match begins!"

Li Yan took a deep breath, his gaze fixed resolutely on Gu Xing across from him.

He knew all too well that the odds of winning this match were slim, but as a Beast Master, he had to at least show his dignity.

"Rock Turtle, use Rock Wall!"

In front of him, a earth-toned wall instantly appeared.

"At least... I need to hold out for three minutes."

Li Yan covertly set a goal for himself in his heart.

However, the gap between ideal and reality was vividly displayed at this moment.

All of Liu Li's attributes had long surpassed beasts of the same tier.

If she unleashed her full power, not to mention Awakening Tier Five, even defensive Guardian Beasts at Tier Eight could not withstand a single encounter before her.

Gu Xing looked at Li Yan, who was ready for battle, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

At the very least, this Beast Master knew the vast disparity in strength but still managed to muster the courage to fight.

"Liu Li, just enough to make a point."

As the words fell, a white streak flashed by.

The fully defensive Rock Turtle couldn't even react before its hefty body collapsed with a thud and completely lost consciousness.

Li Yan stared blankly at his Guardian Beast, only coming back to his senses after a while.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, raising his right hand: "Referee, I concede."

"Gu Xing wins!"

With the referee's announcement, the entire venue erupted.

"What's the situation? Li Yan is a Tier Five Beast Master!"

"Too fast! I just saw a flash of white light... it's over?"

"Gu Xing's strength... doesn't seem much weaker than Chen Ziming!"

Voices of discussion arose from the spectator seats, with many starting to reassess Gu Xing's strength.

Below the stage, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ziming's mouth.

Others might not have seen what happened in that instant, but his Succubus, as a Spiritual Type Guardian Beast, had already taken in everything clearly.

"Brother Ziming," the Succubus whispered in his ear, "it's confirmed, that Angel's spiritual fluctuations are indeed Awakened Tier Six."

Upon hearing this, a light of certainty flashed in Chen Ziming's eyes.

"Round two, Chen Ziming versus Shen Ruoxue!"

The referee's voice rang out in a timely manner, drawing everyone's attention back to the arena.

Chen Ziming adjusted his collar and walked to the battlefield with composed steps.

As he passed by Gu Xing, he deliberately slowed down and cast a meaningful glance.

Seeing this glance, Gu Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

What does Chen Ziming mean?

However...

His gaze swept over the Succubus.

[Succubus]

[Talent: Epic Two Stars]

[Level: Awakening Tier Eight]

[Attributes: Dark Element, Spiritual Type]

[Power: 110]

[Constitution: 108]

[Spirit: 184]

[Speed: 120]

[Skills: Desire Absorption, Enchanting Eyes]

Awakening Tier Eight!

No wonder Chen Ziming is so confident, it turns out he cultivated the Succubus to this extent.

However...

Does Chen Ziming think an Awakened Tier Eight Succubus can beat him?

Interesting!

"Master, later I must teach that villain a lesson!"

Liu Li waved her little fist angrily, her Silver Wing rafters fluttering restlessly behind her.

Since learning about the Succubus's betrayal, she had kept a mental note of this account.

Gu Xing laughed and reached out to rub her soft silver hair:

"Alright, we'll follow your lead."

"Mmm..."

Liu Li immediately squinted her eyes like a cat being stroked, unconsciously nuzzling his palm.

But then something seemed to occur to her, and she put on a serious face:

"Master, that older sister isn't likely the Succubus's match!"

Gu Xing followed her gaze toward the ring.

Shen Ruoxue was standing there biting her lip, her black hair blowing in the wind.

The fur of the Snow Shadow Wolf in front of her stood on end, but it couldn't conceal the slight trembling of its limbs.

"At least Awakening Tier Seven..."

Shen Ruoxue's clenched fist turned white at the joints.

The two-tier level gap, coupled with the suppression of Epic Level talent, made the result of this contest almost predictable.

But when the edge of her vision caught sight of Gu Xing's gaze beneath the stage, she straightened her back.

"Snow Shadow, prepare to fight."

Even knowing she would lose, she wouldn't give up.

Especially...

"The match begins!"

As the referee's voice fell, the Succubus's figure instantly vanished.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap rang out on the stage.

Shen Ruoxue staggered back a few steps, a bright red handprint immediately appearing on her left cheek.

The audience instantly boiled over.

"What... what, the Guardian Beast actually strikes a person? Can this happen?"

"It seems the rules indeed don't prohibit Guardian Beasts from attacking Beast Masters!"

"But this seems... not really a contest anymore, this slap... it's kind of insulting!"

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ziming's mouth:

"Oh dear, sorry, slipped my hand."

He feigned innocence by spreading his hands, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.

This damn woman, previously helped Gu Xing stall for time...

That means Gu Xing and this woman have a good relationship.

Since Gu Xing can't be touched for now, let's start with his friend.

"Mei'Er, continue."

He casually ordered, but his voice carried a chilling air.

The Succubus slowly licked its fingertips with its scarlet tongue, its eyes filled with playful delight.

The next three minutes turned the stage into Shen Ruoxue's purgatory...

"Mmm..."

Shen Ruoxue curled up painfully, every attempt to concede interrupted by the Succubus's Spiritual Shock.

The Snow Shadow Wolf desperately tried to protect its master, but it was frozen on the spot by a single glance from the Succubus, only able to emit helpless whimpers.

"Ah!"

An exclamation of pain, Shen Ruoxue's right shoulder was cut open by three claw marks from the Succubus.

Blood dripped down her fair arm, blossoming into striking red plum blossoms on the stage.

The referee was about to intervene but was fixated by Chen Ziming's ominous gaze.

In the face of the Chen family's scion, he ultimately lacked the courage to interfere.

Witnessing this, Gu Xing furrowed his brow tightly.

This so-called match was nothing short of humiliation!

But what grudge is there between Chen Ziming and Shen Ruoxue?

Wait!

A suspicion suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could it be because of me?!

He looked up, locking eyes with Chen Ziming's smug face.

It's really because of him!

Shen Ruoxue suffered an undeserved disaster!

And Liu Li, seeing this, had her eyes turn red.

"Master, how can that Guardian Beast act like this!"

"During the contest, why attack the Beast Master? Isn't it supposed to be a battle between Guardian Beasts?"

"Why isn't the referee stopping it? That sister obviously already lost!"

Faced with Liu Li's questions, Gu Xing was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a brief hesitation, he gently brought Liu Li into his arms, his eyes coldly locked onto Chen Ziming on the stage.

Are you trying to provoke me?

Gu Xing smirked with a dangerous edge.

Congratulations, you've succeeded.

But...

Can you handle the consequences of this?

Chen Ziming!!
