Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 18: Battle Against Chen Ying'er! A Level 7 Magical Beast Appears Suddenly
On the second floor of the council hall, several high-ranking members of the temple stood a step behind Ren Wokuang, observing the geniuses below.

"Is that Li Hao?" Shadow Wind, the deputy temple master of the Assassin's Temple, asked in a hoarse voice.

"That's the kid who stopped the conflict between our Holy Temple and the Knights' Temple? He's so young!"

Beside him, Han Qian, the deputy temple master of the Knights Temple, glared and snorted angrily, "Old man Ying, how dare you say that!"

"Openly attempting to assassinate a member of the Alliance within the Holy City—your Assassin Temple is getting bolder and bolder!"

"If it weren't for the Alliance Leader's sake, this matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"

Han Qian now finds Li Hao more and more pleasing to the eye. Although he failed to recruit him to the Knights' Temple, he has at least done his family a great favor.

Ying Suifeng chuckled, not angry at all: "Young people, they're hot-tempered. Besides, your Yang Wenzhao isn't exactly gentle either!"

"Alright, alright, you two old folks, you start arguing the moment you meet." A gentle voice rang out, interrupting their quarrel.

The speaker was an elderly man dressed in a magnificent magic robe, with a refined and scholarly demeanor; he was Lin Chen, the deputy temple master of the Magic Temple.

He laughed and muddied the waters, saying, "Isn't everything still under control? Young people are hot-blooded, so conflicts are inevitable."

"Conflict is what drives progress!"

"I think that little guy named Li Hao is quite interesting."

The eyes of the bigwigs once again focused on Li Hao, each with their own thoughts.

Below, the lottery has begun.

"The first group of the finals... The list for the first group is as follows: Knight number one, Warrior number two..."

Soldier Number Two is Wang Yuanyuan's number.

Li Hao's heart stirred slightly. He remembered that in a vague "script", Wang Yuanyuan should have been in the same group as the original protagonist, Long Haochen, but not in the first group of the finals.

"Could it be... that my appearance caused a butterfly effect, allowing me to take Yuan Yuan's place?"

He remembered that Wang Yuanyuan was originally Warrior Number One, but because of his existence, she had become Warrior Number Two.

Since Wang Yuanyuan appeared in the first group, then is he...?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a wicked smile crept onto Li Hao's lips.

It's good that Wang Yuanyuan wasn't in the same group as Long Haochen!
Although he was looking forward to seeing Wang Yuanyuan, whom he had trained under his tutelage, crush Long Haochen, then again, how could it compare to the thrill of fighting him himself?

Before long, all the group assignments were completed.

As Li Hao had guessed, he was assigned to the same group as Long Haochen.

"Tsk tsk, interesting... Fate is truly wondrous!"

"We've already run into the chosen one of this world before the final showdown even began?"

Li Hao thought to himself, "If I were here, I could eliminate him directly... How interesting would the rest of the story be?"

The thought of that possibility filled Li Hao with a strange excitement.

The draw ceremony concluded, and the competition officially began.

Because he was in a later group, Li Hao was happy to have some free time. He found a comfortable corner in the rest area, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for his turn to play.

As time went by, one exciting match after another unfolded.

Finally, the referee's voice rang out.

"Match 16, Soul Temple, Chen Ying'er vs. Warrior Temple, Li Hao! Both players, please come to the stage immediately!"

coming!

Li Hao opened his eyes, stood up, and stretched his limbs.

Amidst a sea of ​​attention, he slowly walked onto the enormous competition stage.

His opponent also jumped and skipped onto the stage.

She was a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was petite and had long hair styled in pigtails that swayed with her movements, making her look playful and cute.

She was dressed in a pink and white magic robe and was holding a crystal staff that was taller than herself.

A pair of big, watery eyes curiously looked at Li Hao.

The two standing together created a striking "cutest height difference".

"Wow! You're so handsome, bro!" Chen Ying'er stared at Li Hao, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

This sudden compliment made many male contestants in the audience feel a pang of jealousy.

Li Hao smiled slightly, quite pleased with the girl's frankness: "Thank you for the compliment."

"However, a competition is a competition, and I won't go easy on you just because you're cute." "Will you admit defeat yourself, or will I... be ruthless and destroy your beauty?"

He emphasized the phrase "ruthlessly destroying flowers" and even made a "snap" gesture.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying'er was not afraid at all. Instead, she playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you'll be the one to admit defeat!"

"Game start!"

At the referee's signal, he immediately dodged and retreated, leaving the large area to the two players.

Unlike the others, Li Hao did not launch an attack the moment the match began.

Instead, he calmly crossed his arms and looked at Chen Ying'er opposite him with great interest.

He really wanted to witness Chen Ying'er's performance in person.

Seeing that Li Hao did not move, Chen Ying'er did not stand on ceremony. She immediately slammed the huge crystal staff in her arms onto the ground, chanting incantations in a clear and sacred voice.

"Open, Gate of Life. O Spirit of All Things, heed my call! I will use my soul as a guide to summon you to become my most loyal companion..."

As she chanted, the air in front of her began to distort violently, and an oval-shaped light gate emitting a soft white light slowly appeared.

From within the portal of light emanated an ancient, vast, and incomparably powerful aura!
"Ok?"

Li Hao's smile faded slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"Something's wrong, this aura...it's very strange!"

He muttered in his mind.

In his memory, Chen Ying'er's luck was not good this time. She summoned a lamb that had no attack power and then immediately admitted defeat.

But now, the aura emanating from that Gate of Life shows no sign of weakness whatsoever.

That oppressive aura... must be at least at the sixth rank or higher.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the Gate of Life.

That wasn't the bleating of a sheep, but a roar of a tiger filled with supreme majesty.

The roar was like thunder, transforming into visible sound waves that swept across the entire venue.

The less skilled viewers felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, a surge of blood to their head, and their faces turned deathly pale.

Even the deputy temple masters watching from the second floor showed surprise on their faces.

"What...what kind of magical beast is this?" Han Qian exclaimed.

The portal suddenly expanded, and a huge tiger claw covered in snow-white fur, with claws and teeth as sharp as knives, emerged first.

I stomped heavily on the hard competition platform!

"Crack!"

The arena, paved with special rocks, was actually punctured by this claw, leaving several fine cracks.

Immediately afterwards, a huge tiger head emerged, with two cold flames burning in its emerald green eyes, and the "king" mark on its forehead emitting a faint golden hue.

Then came its majestic body, and behind it... three pairs, a total of six enormous white wings.

When the magnificent and powerful tiger fully emerged from the portal.

A terrifying pressure belonging to a level seven magical beast instantly enveloped the entire arena like a landslide and a tsunami.

"My God! A six... a six-winged white tiger! A level seven magical beast, a six-winged white tiger with both wind and light attributes!"

From the stands, someone let out a hysterical scream, instantly igniting the entire stadium!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the majestic giant tiger on the stage, then at the petite and adorable summoner beside it, their minds completely blank.

Summoner's Sanctuary, this genius is truly defying the heavens.

Previously, everyone thought it was a coincidence that she summoned an eighth-level magical beast during the preliminary rounds.

But this time it's another seventh-tier magical beast, which is clearly real strength!
Seeing the six-winged white tiger staring at him with hostile eyes, Li Hao's face turned completely dark.

A thousand alpacas galloped through his mind.

"That's not how the script was written! What happened to the little lamb? How come it turned into a super-powerful tiger king in my case?"

"Could it be... that this girl has struck gold with me?!"
