The Beast Master of the Obsidian Stone Spirit was a long-haired man with a very gloomy expression that made people uncomfortable.
He glared viciously at Nuobai and Bai Luxin. Why was it that they could gain everyone’s adoration just based on their appearance?
Yet he, even as a third-tier late stage Beast Tamer, was still rejected.
‘I want to destroy her. Destroy that cat. Right here in front of everyone, tear her apart…’
Thinking this, the gloomy man trembled with excitement. Destroying something precious to others—it felt so good!
‘Be a little more arrogant. Don’t you dare surrender. I’m so afraid Bai Luxin will fear me and take away my outlet for venting.’
Nuobai enlarged herself and stood in front of Bai Luxin, looking displeased at her opponent. His gaze was full of malice, which made Nuobai very angry.
“If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
Intimidated by Nuobai’s murderous words, the man lowered his head, his resentment growing even stronger.
‘Go on, cry out all you want now. Later, when I pull your spine out alive, let’s see if you can still make a sound.’
Seeing Nuobai standing in front of her, Bai Luxin asked curiously.
“Nuonuo, what’s wrong?”
“Sister, you command me later.”
Nuobai pressed her forehead against Bai Luxin’s. Pale blue contract particles linked, and a blue light shone in Bai Luxin’s eyes.
Their minds connected. Bai Luxin frowned slightly. Why did this person have such strong malice toward them for no reason?
As the match was announced to begin, the gloomy man revealed a cruel, nauseating smile.
“Stone Spirit, chop her to pieces.”
【Stone Sculpting Art】 activated. The Obsidian Stone Spirit condensed a stone sword and swung it at Nuobai.
“Dodge.”
Bai Luxin issued the command, her pupils faintly glowing. A string of more covert instructions was transmitted through the contract.
At this moment, Nuobai’s size was still very small compared to the Stone Spirit, and she had no intention of changing that.
Recently, due to her high exposure, Bai Luxin’s identity had become known to everyone.
The consensus on her was unanimous: a lucky person, someone with nothing but luck.
These people, whether out of jealousy or arrogance, pointed fingers at her and freely judged her.
Although Bai Luxin didn’t care, Nuobai couldn’t pretend not to hear.
‘Sister has been working hard in silence. Now she’s no longer the Beast Tamer rookie who knew nothing. This time, I’ll show off for her—defeating a stronger opponent with skill, toying with the enemy, and clearing her name. My Beast Master, Nuobai’s master, is not just a lucky little girl, and not just anyone can become that. The spotlight is on us. Tonight, the whole arena should cheer for her!’
Nuobai dodged the stone sword and raked her claws across the Stone Spirit’s arm, leaving a long scratch.
Watching his Beast Pet being played with by Nuobai, the Stone Spirit was indeed a bit slower—its strengths lay in power and defense.
None of the wounds on its body were effective damage, but it still infuriated him.
His Beast Pet was a third-tier late stage!
“Stone Spirit, 【Gravity Pressure】!”
The Obsidian Stone Spirit roared at the sky, and a earthy-yellow illusory ring spread outward from its body.
On the Throne, Long Qianwu was chatting with Liu Wushang.
“Miss Liu, who do you think will win?”
“Nuobai.”
Seeing that her answer came without a second thought, Long Qianwu tapped the armrest.
“Jumping a whole major tier, Nuobai probably doesn’t even have a way to hurt it.”
“Miss Liu, you’re wrong about this one.”
Liu Wushang didn’t refute her. To anyone looking, Nuobai was absolutely no match for the Obsidian Stone Spirit.
But unable to hurt it?
Long Qianwu, the former Beast Master, really knew nothing about this little cat.
Months ago, when Youming sparred with her, she left a shallow mark on Youming’s claws.
This little cat wasn’t as simple as she appeared.
“Why did she rebel?”
“She was stuck as a cub and couldn’t advance. I chose a safe and stable future for her, but she refused and even thought I was insulting her.”
Long Qianwu paused, then looked at the situation on stage and had a sudden idea.
“If Miss Liu really wants to win her over, why not defeat her? Nuobai is a cat that really respects strength.”
On the stage, the illusory ring passed over Nuobai without affecting her at all.
Her many passively fused 【Extreme Journey】 skills completely immunized her against this level of control.
Seeing Nuobai unaffected, the gloomy man thought the skill had failed.
He muttered to himself that this cat was a bit strange, but its attack power was too weak—it could only scratch the Stone Spirit.
‘I can make countless mistakes, but if you let me catch you once…’
He began fantasizing about killing Nuobai in his mind.
‘Sister has pinpointed the location.’
‘Let’s begin.’
Nuobai and Bai Luxin communicated through the contract.
During this time, Nuobai appeared to be making ineffective attacks, but she was actually probing for the location of the Stone Spirit’s core.
The Stone Spirit didn’t dodge attacks on other parts of its body, but whenever Nuobai aimed for its chest, even if the attack couldn’t hurt it, it would still make a blocking motion.
“Nuonuo, finish it.”
Under the astonished gaze of the audience, Nuobai’s speed increased dramatically as she circled the Obsidian Stone Spirit in a blur.
“What’s going on?”
“Under the Obsidian Stone Spirit’s gravity suppression, the Snow Joy Cat has actually become faster!”
The announcer voiced everyone’s confusion. They had expected Nuobai to lose, but the enemy’s attack had no effect.
Under the sunlight, countless Nuobais seemed to appear on the Obsidian Stone Spirit.
Their graceful figures cut into the Stone Spirit like precise, sharp scalpels. Layers of stone powder and paper-thin stone chips flew and fell.
The Stone Spirit swung its giant sword, unable to stop Nuobai’s movements at all.
It hadn’t truly hurt the Stone Spirit yet, but the scene was incredibly humiliating.
Against Nuobai’s agile movements, the clumsy appearance of the Stone Spirit made the audience burst into laughter.
Bai Luxin watched the battlefield intently. The blue light in her pupils turned solid.
Was this “Mind Flow”?
The announcer also noticed this and shouted excitedly.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to Bai Luxin’s eyes. She has entered the state of ‘Mind Flow.'”
“Only when a Beast Tamer and their Beast Pet are highly attuned and absolutely trust each other can they enter this state.”
“This is also a state that every outstanding Beast Tamer dreams of. Bai Luxin and her Beast Pet are equally full of miracles!”
“From today onward, Dragon Sleep City will witness the birth of a new god—’Snow Lord’ Bai Luxin!”
Amid the cheers from the stands, Nuobai finished this dance and landed gracefully.
Behind her, the Obsidian Stone Spirit dissolved into countless tiny, translucent stone powders, leaving only a core trembling among the dust.
Bai Luxin emerged from the “Mind Flow” state, her excited eyes tinged with fatigue.
She had done it. From now on, she would no longer be a burden.
“Do you think this is over?”
The gloomy man gnashed his teeth, his nails digging into his palms.
“Stone Spirit, second form!”
The dust on the ground flew up, reconstructing around the core into a new Obsidian Stone Spirit.
It seemed to imitate the form of a Snow Joy Cat, also taking a cat shape, but it gave the impression of a failed imitation.
The situation turned again. The cheers abruptly stopped as everyone watched the arena with concern.
Seeing this, Bai Luxin shook her head and said softly, with gentle firmness.
“It’s already over.”
“How is that possible? Just a second-tier cat wants to defeat my third-tier late stage Stone Spirit? Dream on!”
As soon as the gloomy man finished speaking, Nuobai used 【Instant Kill Step】 to appear in front of the Obsidian Stone Spirit. A thousand attacks exploded at once.
The newly formed Stone Spirit was once again blasted into powder, and a glaring red light flashed.
“How is this possible…”
The gloomy man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, falling to his knees on the ground.
How could his Beast Pet be so fragile?
Nuobai shrank down and jumped onto Bai Luxin’s shoulder.
‘Are you kidding me? I didn’t even use any skills from start to finish. Who gave you the guts to be so cocky?’
The scene instantly erupted in applause. What a spectacular match!
Who said Snow Joy Cats had no strength?
Crushing an opponent an entire major tier above!
Just ask, who else?
With the demeanor of a king, Bai Luxin returned to the Throne. The name “Seed” was no longer in dispute.
