Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 243 Burning for the King with My Own Flame

The Blazing Soul Flame Lord fell backward, his body, composed of burning flames, seemed to have considerable weight, and a cloud of dust rose the moment he fell.

"The fact that Yan Yun Falcon could defeat this guy is a huge shock to my worldview."

"Who exactly is this beast tamer? I've never heard of such a person before."

"I feel like he could punch Murati and kick Li Tianyun."

"The points gained from defeating this guy would be off the charts, right?"

Just as everyone was discussing intensely, a furtive figure appeared beside each of the beast tamer teams.

Liu Jinglan's serious expression and waving hands were extremely convincing: "This guy is called Blazing Soul Flame Lord, and he is the king of this group of Wandering Fire Ember Spirits!"

He pointed at the chaotic Wandering Flame Spirits, his voice growing louder: "Look, the Wandering Flame Spirits' reaction is not right."

"They've watched their king fall; they'll definitely take action!"

"If they make any violent moves, we'll all be in danger!"

Liu Jinglan raised his hands high, his loud voice clearly reaching everyone's ears: "Unity, we must unite!"

"We must unite all forces that can be united and let these wandering ember spirits know that they've messed with the wrong person!"

Liu Jinglan's voice came through the recording equipment into the competition committee hall, and Chairman Maimaiti smiled and said, "It seems that there is a beast tamer here who can take on a major role."

"I remember him, his name is Liu Jinglan, right?"

President Maimaiti recalled the scenes from the Fiery Cup, and how the beast tamer named Liu Jinglan had left a deep impression on him.

Although he wasn't the strongest, he was very good at socializing. He could chat with everyone from the head referee to the cleaning lady, as if they were old friends.

Such a beast tamer can sometimes be more effective than a champion.

If he can unite the beast tamers present, he can completely resist the impending crisis of the Wandering Fire Ember Spirit.

However, Chairman Maimaiti knew that Liu Jinglan was not the key figure in resolving this incident.

He tilted his head slightly, using the unstable signal and the sometimes blurry, sometimes shaking screen to look at the young man standing at the end.

He and Yan Yun Falcon are the saviors of all beast tamers.

If he hadn't resolutely withstood the pressure from the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, and if the Flame Cloud Falcon hadn't soared high in the sky, its flames surging, ultimately defeating the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, the people present would never be as relaxed as they are now.

It can be said that Yan Yun Falcon's act of defeating Chi Hun Yan Jun provided a solid backing for Liu Jinglan's persuasion, allowing all Beast Tamers to seriously consider his advice.

They might not care about Liu Jinglan, one of the top eight contestants, but they absolutely must take Chen Yuan, who defeated the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, seriously.

Even though the transmitted images were unstable and unclear, President Maimaiti could still see the power and terror of Yan Yun Falcon from them.

Where does this beast tamer come from?
Can they recruit talent?
Just then, the main person in charge of the competition committee rushed back and shouted from a distance, "Chairman, I found it."

President Maimaiti looked expectant and quickly said, "Speak."

The person in charge paused, speaking clearly: "He is a member of the team established by Liu Jinglan, named Chen Yuan, from Qin Province."

President Maimaiti frowned slightly: "The name sounds familiar."

The person in charge, with a complicated expression, continued, "President, his identity is rather special, and I'm afraid our plans will fall through."

Chairman Maimaiti's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was calm: "Continue."

So what if someone has a special status? As long as the treatment and conditions are sufficient, he is confident that he can recruit people regardless of their status.

The person in charge said, "He is the only advisor of the Qin Province Beast Tamer Association and the champion of the Qin Province Great Wind Cup."

Upon hearing this, President Maimaiti's expression changed slightly: "..."

Something doesn't seem right.

Each consultant is directly tied to the local association, so even if they want to recruit someone, the Qin Province Association will not agree.

Not to mention, it's such an important position.

Imagine if someone tried to abduct the advisor of the Fire State Beast Tamer Association, President Maimaiti's rage could burn as high as the entire Flaming Mountain.

The person in charge continued, "By the way, President, he was the one who proactively reported the crucial information that the Flaming Mountain's fire could temper pets."

"Oh, it was him?" President Maimaiti was taken aback at first, then nodded in realization, "That makes sense then."

"Consultant Chen has helped us solve another big problem..."

If no one can defeat the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, then these Beast Tamers must retreat, and the competition will be forced to stop.

They must redeploy manpower and take countermeasures to resolve this major problem as much as possible and restore peace to the Flaming Mountains.

At that time, there will definitely be another round of ups and downs.

The person in charge glanced at President Maimaiti and whispered, "President, what are our plans..."

President Maimaiti gave a wry smile: "Since he's an advisor, what's the point of talking about recruitment?"

"Even if I were to relinquish my position as chairman, he probably wouldn't even consider it."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

He changed the subject: "How are the points for the Blazing Soul Flame Lord set up?"

The person in charge already had an idea in mind: "200 points."

"Hmm." President Maimaiti nodded slightly, then said, "Let the competition continue."

At the same moment,

Chen Yuan looked at the fallen Blazing Soul Flame Lord, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, this guy is done."

The battle against the Blazing Soul Flame Lord was by no means easy; he had to be on high alert the entire time, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

Fortunately, although the Blazing Soul Flame Lord is powerful and possesses troublesome and annoying skills, Spark's hard training day and night, as well as the various spiritual plants it has used, always come in handy at crucial moments, allowing it to compete with the Blazing Soul Flame Lord.

With Chen Yuan's insightful guidance, they gradually gained the upper hand.

"Moreover... the other beast tamers also played a role. Although they did not injure the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, they depleted its stamina to some extent, allowing Spark to deal with the situation more easily."

In conclusion, thanks to a combination of factors, Spark finally defeated the Morning Star-quality Blazing Soul Lord, albeit at a slight cost.

Chen Yuan looked up at Huohua, whose right wing was injured, and felt a little sorry for her: "Thank you for your hard work."

Having been with herself for so long, Spark has rarely experienced the pain of being hurt.

"Chirp~"

Spark shook her head, glanced back at her once beautiful and smooth feathers, now charred and messy, and first showed a hint of heartache, but it was quickly replaced by a serious look.

The reason I got hurt was because I wasn't strong enough.

If you are strong enough, the flames you spew can kill your opponent instantly without taking any damage.

You must train twice as hard when you get back!
Thinking of this, Spark glanced down at Cola, her eyes gleaming. She knew that hard work alone wasn't enough; she needed an opponent who could keep up with her progress.

Cola needs to train even harder!
"Ow!"

Noticing the unfriendly gaze from the eldest sister, Cola tucked its tail between its legs uneasily, let out two howls, and seemed quite frightened.

I have a bad feeling about this.

"After dealing with this guy, it'll be the turn of these wandering ember spirits."

In the instant that these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Yuan suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that a group of wandering fire spirits were drifting towards him, and he immediately became vigilant.

When Spark and Blazing Soul Lord were fighting, the aftershocks of the battle had a very large range, and most of the Wandering Flame Spirits drifted far away, with only a small number of fearless Wandering Flame Spirits staying nearby.

When the Blazing Soul Flame Lord fell, all the nearby Wandering Flame Spirits rushed over, and the Wandering Flame Spirits in the distance also quickly approached.

Chen Yuan couldn't immediately determine whether their target was the fallen Blazing Soul Lord or himself, but that didn't stop him from making a quick decision: "Cola, protect him!"

"Ow!"

Upon hearing its name, Cola raised its head and roared, its tail wagging high. It immediately understood that it was time for it to solve its owner's problems and, incidentally, steal the spotlight!
If I can take care of all the wandering ember spirits here, in other people's eyes I'll definitely be just as powerful as the boss!
We're all our master's pets, and I, Cola, am no less so!

The next moment, Cola's light brown fur danced without wind.

As the roar of the cola echoed all around, the strongest wind began to blow, causing the hair to flutter even more wildly.

The fierce winds and sharp blades blocked all the wandering ember spirits that tried to approach this place.

The gale shook their flames, and wind blades shattered their bodies.

The notifications from the source point kept ringing in Chen Yuan's mind.

Cola is naturally suited for large-scale battles. Its Wind Surge and Wind Blade are both wide-range skills, and the more opponents there are, the more efficient it is at defeating them.

However, when the number of opponents exceeds a certain level, even cola can hardly stop their offensive.

For example, in the current situation, as soon as one Flame Spirit falls, another Flame Spirit floats in, and so on. The Flame Spirits seem to come endlessly, and Cola is soon panting heavily.

It's not a robot dog; it can't use its skills all the time. It needs short breaks to breathe.

Meanwhile, the ember spirits used this time to close the distance.

Fortunately, when Cola made its move, Spark got a chance to catch its breath and recover. Its eyes flashed with flames, and suddenly a heat wave surged up, spewing out waves of fire that knocked down the approaching Ember Spirit.

Where flames spread, all the wandering fire spirits fell.

"Singing~"

The twin flower concubine was not idle either; it stood on Chen Yuan's shoulder, its eyes flashing with a cold light.

Although in daytime form, the gentle and kind twin concubines could not forgive any villains who tried to get close to "Mother". With a gentle wave of their hands, they released a light pink mist.

In the mist-shrouded area, the ember spirits of the wandering fire have fallen into a deep sleep one after another.

In an instant, a large number of wandering fire spirits fell.

The Wandering Flame Spirit, possessing second-tier strength, swelled and burned with flames, desperately trying to get close to the fallen Blazing Soul Lord.

The little guys' power was scattered, and they were unable to kill them in one blow, so the little guys seized the opportunity to get close to the Blazing Soul Flame Lord.

Like moths drawn to a flame, they flew one after another toward the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, their burning flames surging towards him and becoming the latter's source of power.

The flames on these wandering ember spirits quickly dimmed, subsided, and disappeared, while the originally dim flames of the Blazing Soul Flame Lord gradually intensified, expanded, and burned.

The previously weak aura quickly recovered, seemingly brewing an even more terrifying aura.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Another sacrifice?"

With my own flame, I burn for the king.

Having finally defeated the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, Chen Yuan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch it awaken again and cause trouble.

This situation must absolutely not happen.

However, the little ones were busy blocking and driving away the wandering ember spirits that were trying to get close to them and avenge their king, and had no time to pay attention to the other wandering ember spirits.

From a high altitude, one could clearly see countless ember spirits emerging from the raging wildfire, surging from all directions towards the location of Chen Yuan and the Blazing Soul Flame Lord, densely packed like a tide.

Chen Yuan could only watch helplessly as You Huo Jin Ling's condition rapidly recovered, and he couldn't help but think, "If only I could take them down with one punch."

In the midst of the crisis, a series of shouts rang in my ears.

"Roar!"

The raging crocodile, with its ferocious face and deafening roar, charged forward with its massive body. Its powerful, surging tail instantly killed a wandering ember spirit that was attempting a sacrifice.

Seeing the Flaming Spirit fly backward, the anger that had been building up in the crocodile's heart quickly dissipated, and a hint of disdain flashed in the raging crocodile's eyes.

If I can't defeat your king, can't I at least teach you a lesson?
All of you, go to hell!

Xia Heng appeared behind the Raging Crocodile. He approached Chen Yuan without speaking, only nodding to Chen Yuan before focusing on commanding the Raging Crocodile.

Murat and two teammates who were just there to make up the numbers also appeared one after another, commanding their pets to fight, which immediately relieved Chen Yuan's enormous pressure.

"Consultant Chen, we're here to help you!"

Suddenly, a series of voices rang out. Chen Yuan turned his head and saw that beast tamers he knew and did not know appeared together. They brought their respective pets, and the overwhelming aura they exuded immediately overwhelmed the densely packed Fire Spirits.

Liu Jinglan rode his Crimson Flame Bull, whose mouth surged with raging flames. With its sturdy and massive body, it charged through the group of wandering fire spirits with a fierce momentum that was astonishing.

Chang Yuhuan looked serious. She stood behind the Water Spirit Turtle, which spat out streams of water that became the nemesis of the Wandering Fire Ember Spirit, extinguishing the flames on its body.

Liu Jingyi looked excited as she fought alongside the Flaming Eagle, which soared high in the air, mimicking the firefly by spewing flames from its mouth, causing bursts of sparks to fly.

The remaining Beastmasters, along with their respective pets, joined this massive melee. The pets fought side by side, repelling the Wandering Flame Spirits with astonishing efficiency.

For a time, the scene was spectacular and impressive, but not chaotic.

Although the Beast Tamers did not have a commander, each team cooperated perfectly and worked together seamlessly. Although they had far fewer pets than the Wandering Fire Spirits, they quickly suppressed the latter and gained the upper hand in a short period of time.

Those wandering ember spirits that approached Chen Yuan and the Blazing Soul Flame Lord were driven back far away and could not get close at all.

Chen Yuan felt much less pressured and was able to catch his breath.

After commanding intense battles for a long time, and now being caught in a chaotic melee, his mental energy was rapidly depleted, and his physical strength was almost gone.

I don’t know how long it took,
The swarm of ember spirits finally became afraid. Instead of focusing their attention on the sole king, they scattered in all directions.

They were scared too.

The Flame Spirit tried to escape, while the Beastmasters roared and charged forward.

The area has finally returned to peace.

Chen Yuan let out a long breath, looked up at the sparks, and smiled, "Let's go find the Blazing Flower."
