Chapter 103 Beast Tide Warning
"Sister Qiu, don't be impulsive, let it go, let it go."

Inside the clinic, Li An pulled back the furious Li Qiuqiu.

The reason is that Li Jiuxiao went too far this time, and the spirit beast of this member of the Li family was almost paralyzed.

Even if he is cured, there will be some aftereffects. Li Qiuqiu was naturally furious because Li Jiuxiao knew the strength of this disciple.

If you want to hold back, then you absolutely can.

But what angered Li Qiuqiu the most was that Li Jiuxiao still wanted to punish him afterwards.

“I can understand the law of the jungle, but I don’t think he ever considered us family.” Li Qiuqiu’s voice was a little hoarse.

Li An, who was standing to the side, remained silent, as did the other members of the Li family.

This is an indisputable fact, and it's common knowledge within large families.

In a large family, the life of a direct descendant is not actually that valuable.

“I’ve done the research for Lin Chen. If you want to make a comeback in the popularity vote, the best way is to meet Dasa and beat him up.”

The draw for the first round of the knockout stage was a lively affair. Qin Hao, standing in the crowd, watched Lin Chen draw lots on stage and analyzed the situation.

At that moment, Lin Chen drew a lot, and Bai Jiajia exclaimed in surprise. Qin Hao said, "You really drew it?"

"No," Bai Jiajia said with surprise, "Lin Chen got a bye."

Lin Chen was indeed lucky; he received a bye in the round of 16.

In fact, there were quite a few players who missed the game due to injury before this match.

Lin Chen drew contestant number 133 this time. In the 32nd round, he fought his previous opponent to a draw, and after the doctor's advice, he had to miss the match due to injury.

Therefore, Lin Chen essentially made it into the top 8 without any effort.

The other players all sighed when they saw the draw.

In their eyes, Lin Chen, a low-level mortal beast, was a hot commodity in this round.

Surprisingly, he got a bye.

Therefore, the other players set their sights on Dasa.

Next round, it's Daza's turn. This time, luck won't work for Daza; the person drawn is a little genius bull-taming expert from Black Mountain City.

The young genius was overjoyed to hear that he had won the prize. After drawing the winning ticket, he declared that he would defend the dignity of the Bull Realm of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

As for the other people's draw, it seemed like it was predetermined.

Eight members of the Li family participated in the competition. Apart from Lin Chen and Li Jiuxiao, who were eliminated by themselves, all the others made it into the top 16.

In other words, the Li family occupied six seats, demonstrating their considerable strength.

However, they didn't have a single internal battle this round, but one of them did encounter Wan Ming.

Three days later, the knockout stage officially began, and the atmosphere at the venue was even more vibrant than before, especially the match in Dasa, which was packed to capacity.

Lin Chen didn't go to the event this time because he had a bye. He stayed at his residence with Xiao Bai and focused on his cultivation.

In Xiaobai's case, leveling up is faster after engaging in more battles.

Lin Chen watched Li Jiuxiao's moves several times and felt deeply uneasy.

Given Xiaobai's current strength, it's a bit uncertain whether he can defeat the Beast King Cub, since the opponent is three levels ahead.

The most reliable option is for a newbie to reach level 17.

Xiao Bai understood Lin Chen's thoughts and kept training hard.

However, Lin Chen also instructed that one should not cultivate for the sake of cultivation, as forcing growth is not advisable.

"If you can get promoted, then promote you; if not, then forget about it," Lin Chen advised.

It has been exactly twenty days since Xiaobai last upgraded.

"Moo~~"

Xiao Bai then calmed down and began to cultivate seriously.

That evening, Qin Hao and the others returned, looking dejected.

"What happened?" Lin Chen guessed. "Did you lose?"

"Yeah," Qin Hao said sadly, "That little genius was supposed to win easily, but both the spirit beast and the little genius got too excited and careless, and were directly killed."

"Such good luck." Lin Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "It shows that he still has the ability."

"Stop talking, those people are panicking right now." Cai Yuanji also said, "If we lose again in the quarterfinals, many people probably won't dare to watch the game anymore."

As Cai Yuanji predicted, Dasa won the match and uttered a classic quote, making it impossible for the audience to suppress their "hidden" qualities.

"What little genius? You can't do it either."

"You're just being reckless, I don't know what you're recklessly doing."

The young genius was completely exposed and hid at home, too afraid to go out.

The list of the top eight was also released at the end of the second day of the competition. Apart from Lin Chen, Dasa, and Wan Ming, all the others were members of the Li family.

Li Guan and Li Jiuxiao were naturally very happy. The Wan family's generous invitation to them had actually boosted the Li family's reputation.

Five out of the eight names on the list demonstrate the formidable strength of Yu Niu.

Amidst widespread anxiety, the draw for the quarterfinals began.

When Lin Chen arrived, the scene was packed with people, and the audience was discussing the topic, which was mostly related to Dasa.

"What if Dasa wins the championship?"

"No way, he's only level 17. If he can win the championship, I'll eat him up."

"That foreigner was a bit lucky; he managed to get in lying down both times after a near-death struggle."

"Don't worry, with Li Jiuxiao and Wan Ming backing us up, how could we possibly lose?"

"I'm afraid that if Wan Ming and Li Jiuxiao fight each other and both are seriously injured, Dasa will take advantage of the situation."

These words made everyone even more panicked.

Every now and then, the eight contestants took their places and began the draw.

"Li Jiuxiao, number 3."

"Li Qiuqiu, number 5."

"Wan Ming, number 8."

"Lin Chen, number 2."

When the audience arrived on stage, they stared intently. Someone started by shouting "Number 4," and then a deafening roar followed, with everyone chanting "Number 4."

Dasa understood perfectly well; he squinted, his expression calm.

He has already thought about it.

Having reached the quarterfinals, they've already shown off enough; there's no need for them to get beaten up.

If he really draws Li Jiuxiao, Wan Ming, and Li Qiuqiu, then he will announce it publicly:
Withdrawal due to injury!
Then, they left that very night.

He could imagine how furious these people would be at that point.

He took his hand out of the box, glanced at it briefly, and immediately his expression brightened.

Number 1!
It's the 1nd!
That is.
Dasa turned to look at Lin Chen to his side, and the fighting spirit that had been waning in his eyes resurfaced.
The little ploughshare-horned beast is such a low-level species, it has nothing to fear.

Dasa was confident that although Lin Chen's Ploughhorn Beast was something special, taking it down shouldn't be a problem.

So he raised his hand high, and the audience below saw the number at that moment, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Number 1, the opponent is Lin Chen?"

"No, how could he draw number 1?"

Many people are very upset.

Although they knew Lin Chen was extraordinary, they were convinced deep down that Lin Chen's Ploughhorn Beast would have a hard time surviving to this stage.

After all, both the quality and grade are outdated.

"Could it be that what I said about the script really came true?"

Many people began to worry and started to analyze the situation:
"Lin Chen is also an option, he has a chance too. Didn't he defeat the level 18 Shadow Tiger before?"

"That was defeated while in a savage bloodline state, but who can control this thing?"

Golden Bull Casino
As the official casino designated for this "King of Bulls" competition, it has made a fortune.

An employee rushed into the office of the boss, Tian Qi, and said, "Boss, the results of the quarterfinals draw are out. How do you plan to place the bets tomorrow?"

Tian Qi picked it up and looked at it, then said in surprise, "They actually avoided them all."

The phrase "avoid" refers to Li Jiuxiao and his group.

The employee flattered him, saying, "Boss, you're amazing! Your guesses for the top eight were almost spot on."

Tian Qi wasn't smug; instead, he carefully scanned the match list and quickly wrote down their odds. In both of the Li family's internal battles, Wan Ming was also facing a member of the Li family.

But he began to hesitate about Lin Chen and Dasa.

"What do you think?" Tian Qi asked the employee.

The employee pondered for a moment and said, "If we're talking about disadvantages, Lin Chen is the weaker one. You analyzed it before, and the reason he was able to kill the Shadow Tiger was because of the Mad Bull bloodline."

"So, a 1.7 to 2.2 ratio should be about right."

“That makes sense.” After saying that, Tian Qi wrote 1.7-2.2 directly on it.

"Okay, I'll take it out right now. There are a lot of gamblers waiting outside." The employee was about to leave when he suddenly realized something was wrong and said, "Boss, is it written backwards? Lin Chen's odds should be 2.2."

“No, Lin Chen’s odds are 1.7,” Tian Qi said with certainty.

The employee was puzzled.

"Go."

Tian Qi didn't explain, he just waved his hand.

The boss doesn't need to explain his actions to the employees, just like when he overruled everyone's objections and put Lin Chen in seventh place.

Although Dasa was initially ranked sixth, ahead of Lin Chen, Tian Qi later observed Lin Chen's matches and, with his keen eye, came to a startling conclusion:

Lin Chen is hiding!

Furthermore, Lin Chen has had an outstanding record since he became famous in Nine Star City.

These factors are enough to make Tian Qi more willing to believe that Lin Chen can win tomorrow's battle!

"I was hoping to find a bargain, but I didn't expect the boss to be so outrageous, only offering odds of 1.7."

When Qin Hao and the others heard that Lin Chen was going to fight Daza, they rushed to place bets, but they didn't expect Lin Chen's odds to be so low.

"It seems that making money from casinos is really difficult," Cai Yuanji lamented.

If it comes to facing Li Jiuxiao, Qin Hao and the other two felt that Lin Chen might not necessarily win.

But isn't it easy to control Daza?
Qin Hao really didn't understand why those people outside were panicking.

While everyone was chatting, Xu Youzhen came in hurriedly with a zither in hand and asked Lin Chen, "Would you like to listen to my music? It's free."

"."

Lin Chen was taken aback and asked him what was wrong.

许有真这才说道:“那异国人伤我爱徒,我是希望你暴揍他。”

Lin Chen then remembered that Xu Youzhen had been absent from Dasa's matches these past few days, clearly having gone to watch the games.

Remembering the help Xu Youzhen had given him, he said, "Please rest assured, senior."

"I believe in you." Xu Youzhen also knew Lin Chen's strength.

"However, just in case, it's best to listen to a song." Lin Chen changed the subject.

It's better to listen than not to listen, even if it's not very effective.

Xu Youzhen didn't refuse and immediately pulled Xiaobai over to talk to him like a brick wall.

Lin Chen and the others went outside to wait and found Li Zhen leading Huang Xiaotian out in a hurry.

"When did Captain Huang arrive?" Bai Jiajia asked in surprise.

Lin Chen also stepped forward because he saw that Li Zhen and the others looked very unwell.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Li Zhen said first, "I won't watch your match; I'm going back to the city."

"Urgent task?"

“Beast Tide Warning.” Li Zhen pointed at Huang Xiaotian and said, “Xiaotian and his team have gathered some information and predicted that there may be a beast tide in Nine Star City.”

"Then how will we get back?" Qin Hao asked fearfully.

"Don't worry, it's just a warning, it might not come true. If there really is a beast tide, the guild will send out information," Huang Xiaotian said.

After saying that, Li Zhen gave the VIP badges to Qin Hao and the others, then rode back on the Gale Beast.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the beast tides seem to be more frequent this year.

After a while, Xiaobai was fine.

This time, Xiaobai didn't feel much, but Lin Chen still thanked Xu Youzhen and said he would definitely win her over.

That night, the man and the two beasts began to discuss tactics.
"Xiao Bai, how about this, we'll go up tomorrow, not give it a chance. Its mental strength is weak, so we'll use our strongest Soul-Suppressing Hoof to suppress it and end the battle directly."

Lin Chen had also observed the fighting style of the Dasa Spirit Beast Wild Horned Bull.

Skilled in close combat, possessing immense physical strength, but weak mental fortitude.

If this kind of spirit beast encounters Xiaobai now, it will be utterly killed.

Little White nodded emphatically, indicating that it wouldn't be reckless.

Lin Chen laughed. It seems that Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji, those two loudmouths, have been criticizing that little genius all day long, and Xiao Bai has remembered it.

Lin Chen had considered this. Although it would reveal the proficiency level of Little White Soul-Suppressing Hoof, the benefits would be greater if he could quickly defeat the Wild Horned Bull and prevent the match from becoming a protracted battle.

The competition officially began four days after the first round of elimination.

Lin Chen and Dasa are number 1 and number 2, and their match is scheduled for the first game.

When Lin Chen arrived, there was a huge crowd.

"Lin Chen, remember, use the Mad Wild Bloodline right away, don't be reckless."

"You can do it, believe in yourself, Plover."

"Go for it, for justice!"

Despite their concerns, the audience continued to support Lin Chen.

The opinions on this match were evenly split, with half favoring the winner and half predicting a loss.

Dasa, on the other hand, entered the arena amidst the jeers, looking quite spirited.

The more fiercely these people cursed him, the happier he became.
He knew this was very likely his last game.

Since the next four finalists are all formidable opponents, after defeating Lin Chen and showing off one last time, he quickly left.

[The first match of the quarterfinals of the King of Bulls Tournament]

[Anand Daza vs. Lin Chen]

[Level 17 Wildhorn Bull vs. Level 16 Ploughhorn Beast]

The referee scanned both teams' spirit beasts, and seeing that they were ready, immediately shouted, "The match begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in a frenzy of shouts:

"Barbarian bloodline!"

This setup is almost like a massive sing-along at a concert.

Lin Chen reminded Xiao Bai not to be influenced and to just follow the established plan.

Xiao Bai nodded in response.
In the past, it might have been a little intimidated.

But now, under Lin Chen's tutelage, Xiao Bai has long been accustomed to this feeling.

Even.
The author is a professor at the University of California, San Francisco.

It hoped that it could bring unparalleled glory to its beast tamer!

so.
"Moo!!!"

Xiao Bai roared and stomped out with his Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

Seeing Xiaobai's posture, Dasa immediately deduced that Xiaobai was planning to use the Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

Last night, he also discussed tactics with Wild Horn Bull, which was to avoid their sharp edge.
Use the Wild Horned Bull's powerful burst speed to dodge the Soul-Suppressing Hoof's attack, and then engage in close-quarters combat.

As for mad cow blood, you should stay far away from that.
It will naturally lose.

Thinking of this, Dasa gave the order:

"Dodge, then counterattack!"

The wild horned bull immediately stood ready for battle.

Thump~~~
Instantly, the ground shook, and a visible shockwave spread outward from the bull's hoof towards the wild horned bull.

Dust billowed wherever it went. Just as Huangniujiao was about to make a move, the shockwave was already upon them in an instant.

Boom~~
The moment the deafening explosion rang out, the ground near the Wild Horned Bull began to tremble slightly and even caved in!
At this moment, the audience was still shouting wildly about the savage bloodline. The "experts" in the VIP seats all had their pupils shrink. As for Li Guan, he even stood up and looked at Xiao Bai in disbelief.

"A Divine Enlightenment-level Soul-Suppressing Hoof?!"

At this moment, four words were written on Li Guan's face:
Injustice!
