Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 176 Shenji Villa
No one expected that the moment Yan Xiangbei activated the advanced magic weapon, Lin Jing decisively chose to let the mecha self-destruct and no longer continue to fight with Yan Xiangbei.

On the ring, white flames filled the air, and Yan Xiangbei was covered in blood. He stood miserably on the ring, his breath weak, and his magic power gone.

To activate a top-grade magic weapon, he needed to give it his all, but who knew that after activating it, it was not used for attack, but for defense.

He looked at the huge mecha that had completely disappeared and exploded into powder, and couldn't help but smile. However, this smile was at himself. He was laughing at himself for losing to a beastmaster, and this beastmaster... had defeated him with a mechanical creation.

No...that's not right. The spatial movement of the opponent's pet is the key to defeating me!
But so what, I still lost.

"You win." Standing on the stage, Yan Xiangbei retracted the Lamp of Extinction, looked at Lin Jing who was slowly falling, and before losing consciousness, he looked at the audience seats again.

The people from the Lianxian Valley who came with him were all in disbelief and unable to accept it.

The most powerful genius of the ancient country's weapon-refining sect actually lost to a third-rate disciple whose sect was sealed!

Before this, they didn't even dare to think about it.

“Thank you.” Lin Jing looked at the other party. Before he had time to reminisce about the Mosquito Powered Mecha, Tian Huihua said, “The winner of the third group is Lin Jing!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience who had not yet reacted was in an uproar. At this moment, the loud explosion sound and the strong light reflected in their eyes were still ringing in their ears and in front of their eyes!
"Really won?"

"It's over? The third genius lost?"

“Is this considered an upset?!”

"It's terrible. Lin Jing has calculated it well. As long as Yan Xiangbei activates the high-level magic weapon, he will definitely not have the energy to use the magic weapon that restricts space spells. At this time, he only needs to abandon this mechanical creation and use it to consume Yan Xiangbei's final magic power, and victory will be assured!"

"This Lin Jing is so decisive. If it were me, I would definitely want to compete with such a powerful mechanical creation with a top-grade magic weapon, but he...just gave up as soon as he said so."

"But he won, and it was all worth it. After this match, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be ranked in the top five or even top three of the Tianjiao list!"

The monks were silent, as if they were about to see a new and powerful genius rise. The most terrifying thing was that Lin Jing on the ring had almost no injuries on his body!
Right now, many geniuses are actually very happy with this result.

The third genius who possessed a top-grade magic weapon was eliminated by Lin Jing and could not advance to the third round. In order to fight against Yan Xiangbei, Lin Jing's powerful mecha was destroyed and his combat power was greatly reduced.

Everyone felt that it was impossible for Lin Jing to have two such powerful mechanical creations.

Even if Lin Jing can be rebuilt in the future, most people believe that it is impossible to rebuild it in a short period of time. Rebuilding it will inevitably be extremely energy-consuming, and the mechanical materials will inevitably be very rare and in short supply.

So, you should be able to rest assured.

After defeating Yan Xiangbei, Lin Jing will surely become famous in the ancient country. Next, if he can defeat Lin Jing who lacks a powerful trump card, it will also be a great temptation for some geniuses.

After becoming the winner of the third arena, Lin Jing returned to his seat to recuperate. Although he did not do anything the whole time, it was the Ice Soul Gu that helped him resist the enchanting magic weapon, and it was the mecha controlled by the Pine Leaf Rat that helped him avoid the explosion, but Lin Jing still felt that he had worked hard.

"You..." Everyone in Dragon Palace looked at Lin Jing in silence.

I really want to ask, when was Dragon Palace renamed "Mechanical Dragon Palace"?

…………

Next, the competition continued. The winner of the fourth group was the fourth on the Tianjiao list, the Tianjiao of the Zhao family, a family of immortal cultivators in the ancient domain. He was a graduate of the academy, enrolled in the academy when he was a teenager, and left the academy at the age of 21 to serve as the lord of a city. The Zhao family was the largest immortal cultivator family in the ancient country besides the ancient clan. Most of the family members served as officials in the court and had a huge influence.

As a congenital source body, the fourth genius has an endless supply of mana, which recovers very quickly. This allows him to practice most of his spells to perfection, and he is very adept at it in battle without having to worry too much about mana consumption.

The fifth group, like the third group, was a surprise. Although there was a fifth genius in the group, the winner was not him, but a hidden genius invited by Tianji Tower. He was the descendant of a hidden cultivator who had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and had a congenital five-element body.

The five elements constitution is comparable to the combination of the five major attribute spiritual bodies, ranked on the divine body list, and is extremely powerful.

The sixth group was another upset, and the winner was not a prodigy who grew up in the ancient country. He was born in the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and had a congenital poisonous body. He followed his master to the Yunhai Mountains for training since he was young. He went there at the age of twelve and returned at the age of twenty-seven. After fifteen years of hard training, he became famous as soon as he returned to the country.

In the seventh group, there was no upset, and the genius ranked seventh won the victory. However, the victory was very difficult. He was the most difficult one among the seven groups. He was also an early graduate of the academy and now serves as the lord of a city.

In the eighth group, the winner was the innate celestial divine body in the Dragon Palace, Wang Xiao. After achieving perfection in foundation building, with the help of Wang Xue Zhan Hu, he became one of the only two people in the Dragon Palace who entered the third round. The audience was not surprised by his victory, after all, he was also an innate divine body. In this battle, Wang Xiao's battle was not difficult. The difficult part was his Zhan Hu, which resisted spells for him the whole time and was covered with wounds, leaving the audience silent and seeing the good of pets again.

Among the eight final winners, four had studied at Qianlong Academy, which shows the influence of Qianlong Academy.

"In the third round, we will adopt the mode of arena challenge. Tianji Tower will randomly select one person to be the champion of the arena and face the challenge of other geniuses. The loser will be eliminated and the winner will inherit the throne. When there is no one left to challenge, the champion of the arena will become the final winner of the battle of geniuses."

Tian Huihua announced that the third round of Tianjiao Battle will also be held in seven days. Compared with the previous eight-person melee, this third round will test luck and strength more.

Whoever becomes the first champion will be in big trouble as he may have to accept challenges from seven other people. In a round-robin battle, even if he is the strongest, he may not be able to stand to the end.

Fortunately, the one who will eventually receive the blessing of the Star Turtle is not the first in the Battle of Prodigies, but the first on the Prodigy List updated by Tianji Tower based on the performance of the prodigies in the Battle of Prodigies.

"Within seven days, I should be able to exchange all the spirit stones from the Shenglong Pill auction for high-grade plants. Currently, the Qingdi Changsheng Gong of the Songye Rat is at a bottleneck. If I'm lucky enough, I can perfect the Qingdi Changsheng Gong within seven days!"

"After the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art is perfected, the Songye Mouse will have the plant control ability of the Jindan-stage plant spirit. With the help of the Demon King's true body and space magic, the power it can display should surpass the Mosquito-powered mecha..."

Judging from the performance of the current Tianjiao battle, Lin Jing felt that the strongest one might still be the Xiantian Dao Body. He didn't know if he could fight against this person with just the pine leaf rat...

"Lin Jing." After the second round ended, Lin Jing was about to return to prepare for the battle when a group of people suddenly stopped him. They were the people from Shenji Villa, led by the second prodigy Mo Qianyi.

Behind Mo Qianyi was a group of Jindan and Yuanying cultivators, but Lin Jing did not sense any hostility.

"Miss Mo, is there something wrong?" He saw Mo Qianyi wearing a cloth dress and felt it was strange to call her a fairy, so he started calling her girl.

He might have guessed the other party's intention.

"Lin Shengzi, Shenji Villa wants the design drawings of the mechanical device you just showed us. Of course, Shenji Villa doesn't want your things for nothing. As long as Shenji Villa can give you something, you can ask for anything you want." Mo Qianyi said, "Shenji Villa can exchange other mechanical device designs or rare mechanical materials with you."

"Aren't you a beastmaster? Shenji Villa also has many methods of making powerful mechanical beasts... and even has methods to make mechanical beasts have spiritual intelligence and become mechanical life. I believe that although you have demonstrated Buddhism and mechanical arts, you should... still be a beastmaster, right? I wonder if you are interested in contracting a living mechanical beast. Can we talk about it?"

The mechanical monks of Shenji Villa became interested in Lin Jing's mosquito-powered mecha.

At the same time, on the branch of the sacred pine, the dragon carp suddenly sneezed.
