Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 36 Forced to Summon a Second Spirit Pet

Lin Manman ran over apologetically to help Hu Yuehong up; it seemed she had taken a pretty hard fall from the honey badly. Fortunately, soldiers are naturally strong and resilient.

"It hurts like hell! You bear is too fierce! Our captain couldn't even defend against one attack. You must be more than two levels above me!" Hu Yuehong wasn't one to hold a grudge. Which professional player who came to participate wasn't prepared to get beaten up?

Lin Manman blinked innocently and changed the subject, saying, "I already asked you if you wanted to admit defeat. If you had, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this, would you?"

Hu Yuehong was speechless. Of course, why had she been so impulsive? She was the only one left on the field; what was wrong with admitting defeat? She'd taken a hit for nothing and even fallen half to her death.

Under the referee's witness, the two sides shook hands to end the match. Before leaving, Hu Yuehong smiled and gave Lin Manman a thumbs up, "I have a feeling you might become the first team to advance with five consecutive wins today. Keep it up, don't let me down!"

Lin Manman paused for a moment, then smiled. "Then I'll take your good wishes!"

After this match, Lin Manman and her team have achieved a three-game winning streak. If they win two more matches in a row, they can advance directly to the next round.

I initially thought that with this match in front of me, the opponent would have to be called out by the referee. Unexpectedly, before the referee could even make a move, a team of people had already slowly walked onto the ring.

Lin Manman saw that the leading boy was carrying a warhammer almost as tall as her, and his equipment looked very fine and luxurious. Behind the boy were two elemental mages, a priest, and a... beast tamer.

Seeing the beast tamer Lin Manman gave her a bad feeling. Because apart from her, a grassroots beast tamer, most of the other participating beast tamers had powerful connections. She turned to look at Xue Songwen behind her.

Xue Songwen also frowned, "Han Yue, the Han-style Group in Shanghai."

Lin Manman raised an eyebrow. This was one of the seven teams their team had recently identified as needing to pay special attention to. Han Yue, the young master of the Shanghai-based Han Group, was a berserker, and the team's composition matched the information they had received. They just hadn't expected them to be playing now, even though they clearly didn't need to face them.

"My name is Han Yue. Your spirit pet is very interesting, and I'd like to meet it." Han Yue was more than a head taller than Lin Manman, and his buzz cut made his face look sharp and unruly.

"Come on, you're just afraid someone will steal your title as the first to advance with a five-game winning streak, aren't you?" Behind Han Yue was a cute and sweet-looking girl holding a priest's staff.

"You talk the most nonsense." Han Yue glanced at him with displeasure, but his tone wasn't very harsh. "We also have beast tamers, so let's see whose spirit pet is stronger?"

Lin Manman really wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back for the sake of her image. If she had known earlier, she would have preferred to forgo the title of being the first to advance and wait until they finished competing before going up herself.

There was no point in saying anything; she didn't want to lose and wait for the next round, so she decided to play.

Once both sides were ready, the referee blew his whistle. Han Yue, trailing a bolt of lightning, charged towards Lin Manman. At this moment, the Honey Badger had just donned his rock armor and hadn't yet used his charge skill.

Lin Manman was also surprised. She didn't expect Han Yue to have learned skills with attributes and to be so fast.

"Earth Shield." As Lin Manman gave the command, the honey badger almost instantly completed its skill. A two-meter-high earthen wall stood before them. "Brother Liu, try to get around to the back and harass the mage, and ideally, take the opportunity to kick the beastmaster out of the game. Brother Zhu, Brother Xue, same as before."

As soon as Lin Manman finished speaking, the earthen wall shattered under the bombardment of the warhammer. The honey badger met the descending warhammer with a powerful claw strike, and a deafening clang of metal clashing resounded. The immense force sent Han Yue flying backward, and the honey badger's massive body also staggered back half a step.

Seeing that even the honey badger's sharp claws hadn't left much of a mark on the warhammer, Lin Manman understood. Han Yue's team was probably equipped with a full set of level three gear. Tsk, damn rich people! Lin Manman cursed inwardly.

"Honey Badger. Lead him aside." Han Yue's attention was entirely on the honey badger; he certainly didn't have any designs on her.

The honey badger donned rock armor over Lin Manman and charged after Han Yue. Han Yue didn't retreat; the seemingly heavy warhammer in his hands was like a toy, smashing it down on the honey badger again and again. Fortunately, the honey badger's defenses were formidable, and the hammer couldn't even penetrate its armor.

Although Liu Ping successfully circled around to the enemy's rear, the opposing water elemental mage had learned a binding skill, trapping him in a water prison, where he was struggling to break free. Because Zhu Zibin was an ice elemental mage, he couldn't offer any assistance this time; he could only try his best to use skills to disrupt the opposing mage.

The beast tamer in Han Yue's team summoned a purple thunder eagle about half a meter long and a two-meter-long giant black crocodile. Lin Manman saw that one was a low-level second-grade gold-rank eagle and the other was a high-level second-grade gold-rank crocodile, and she couldn't help but curse even more.

The Black Devouring Crocodile scrambled towards Liu Ping, while the Purple Thunder Eagle charged rapidly toward Lin Manman.

Lin Manman narrowed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, thinking to herself, "I was just waiting for you to come." The Purple Thunder Eagle unleashed a bolt of purple lightning at Lin Manman, the lightning flashing and disappearing in an instant, leaving her unharmed. Just as the audience was about to wonder what was happening, a scream came from the opposing camp.

The beastmaster, shielded behind the priest, was struck unconscious by a bolt of lightning, while a white snake as thick as an arm slowly appeared beside Lin Manman. Taking advantage of the moment when the other side was stunned by this sudden turn of events, "Rainbow Jade!"

Hongyu immediately understood Lin Manman's meaning. With a flick of her tail, the opposing priest was pulled out of the arena by a blur, followed by two more blurs, and the two mages were also pulled out of the arena one after another.

When Lin Manman saw that there was another Beast Tamer on the other side, she knew that she was destined to be unable to hide her second spirit pet today, so she might as well make arrangements in advance. Therefore, when the Honey Badger released an earth shield to block Han Yue, Lin Manman had already summoned Rainbow Jade and had Rainbow Jade mimic and hide beside her.

She was waiting for the beast tamer on the other side to target her, so she could take the opportunity to counterattack and eliminate him.

Han Yue's attention was initially focused on the honey badger, and thanks to his top-tier level three equipment, he was holding his own against it. However, his attention was drawn to the honey badger after his beastmaster let out a scream. Just as he was wondering how the situation had changed so drastically in such a short time, he was struck by two of the honey badger's skills, and his top-tier level three armor was already showing signs of damage.

"What did you do?" Han Yue snapped out of his daze, dodging the honey badger's attacks while angrily questioning Lin Manman. He hadn't seen how his teammate was eliminated, and he suspected Lin Manman had used some underhanded methods!

"Tsk, want to know? Simple! Honey, give him a slow motion." Lin Manman was also very angry. If it weren't for this chuunibyou boy, she wouldn't have exposed the Rainbow Jade so early. She had always used the Rainbow Jade as a trump card for surprise attacks, hoping to make it more useful in the later qualifying matches. As a result, she was forced to use it in the elimination rounds.

Rainbow Jade flicked its tail happily, and suddenly a section of it disappeared. In front of Han Yue, a black hole-like teleportation portal appeared, from which a section of its tail arrogantly extended. Before Han Yue could even react with shock and anger, it swiftly lashed out at his chest.

Han Yue, the young master of the Han Group, with an incredulous expression, traced a perfect parabola and slammed heavily onto the arena outside the ring.
