Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 54 Semifinals!

Show mercy? Lin Manman watched as the archer opposite her fired an arrow at her the moment the referee blew the whistle. This wasn't asking her to show mercy, it was asking her to save her life!

She quickly summoned Honey Badger and Rainbow Jade. The moment Rainbow Jade appeared, it swiftly teleported the arrow that was in front of it back to the other side.

The shield warrior on the other side reacted just as quickly, raising his shield to catch it.

Judging from the opponent's swift movements, this team must have undergone a considerable period of training. When the shield warrior caught the arrow, the arrow bounced back into the archer warrior's hand.

At this moment, Wu Yunsheng had already cast energy shields on his teammates and buffed them.

The honey badger unleashed its talent, trapping as many enemies as it wanted. But the greatest advantage of an all-warrior team was on full display at this moment. All five, brimming with vitality and possessing formidable physiques, moved swiftly and didn't need to consider formation.

When Wu Yunsheng realized that the Honey Badger was about to unleash its power, he immediately ordered his teammates to scatter and retreat. Based on their analysis of previous matches, they knew the approximate size of the Honey Badger's quicksand prison, so as long as they maintained a proper distance from their teammates, they wouldn't get trapped multiple people at once.

They probably guessed that the range of the Gravity Domain, a technique the honey badger had just mastered, might not be very large. Therefore, as soon as the honey badger approached, they scattered and fled like birds chased by a cat. Even if Liu Ping went up to entangle one of them, as soon as the honey badger got close, the opponent would have to prioritize creating distance between themselves and the honey badger, even if they were to take a hit from Liu Ping.

Rainbow Jade unleashed several tail attacks from the side, but because the entire opposing team maintained an energy shield, it failed to have any real effect.

Lin Manman was exasperated watching her opponents running around in disarray. Zhu Zibin's spellcasting speed simply couldn't keep up, and he was now obediently watching the show from the sidelines with his arms crossed.

She had thought that with the honey badger's domain skill, today would be relatively easy. She never expected an all-warrior team to be so difficult.

Thinking about it, she had no choice but to summon Ah Dai back onto the field.

However, the situation did not improve as she had hoped. As soon as Ah-Dai entered the arena, he was targeted and suppressed by the archer warriors. Arrows, combined with wind-based combat skills, were rapidly shot at Ah-Dai, and even with Ah-Dai's speed, it was extremely difficult for him to dodge them.

This is troublesome! Lin Manman frowned.

Ah-Dai's speed-boosting skill, Gale, requires a windy environment to activate. However, they are currently inside the competition arena, making it impossible to create such an environment. Targeted and suppressed by the archer, Ah-Dai can only dodge awkwardly, with almost no chance to use his skill.

"Rainbow Jade, use that, I just learned it yesterday! Catch the one with the bow and arrow!" Now the archer warrior has to both aim at Ah-Dai in the air to suppress him and be on guard against the honey badger's approach. Now is the perfect opportunity to catch him.

"Hiss."

Hong Yu responded and then vanished from her spot. She reappeared near the archer, who, sensing the change beside her, leaped towards her teammate. Wu Yunsheng, who had been controlling the battlefield, quickly rushed to provide support.

Upon realizing that her target had been lost, Hongyu simply concealed herself on the spot.

"Keep your distance! Everyone on high alert!" Wu Yunsheng felt a headache coming on when he saw Hong Yu disappear. These spirit pets were either impossible to fight head-on or impossible to catch. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he would have to start by attacking the people behind him.

However, finding an opportunity to attack the opponent behind them while being attacked by these three spirit pets is not easy at all.

The two sides remained deadlocked on the field for about ten minutes, and even the viewers watching the live broadcast were getting impatient.

"Welcome to the world-famous painting 'The Bear Chasing the Butterfly'!"

"Why didn't Sister Kid bring out any new spirit pets today?"

"Stop calling her 'Little Girl Sister,' she has a new nickname: 'Living Yama'!"

"Seriously, are we going to fight a war of attrition today? Let's see who runs out of energy first!"

"Are these older students even capable of fighting? Can they win if they dodge well or what?"

Seeing that her opponents were agile and coordinated, Hongyu approached several times, about to unleash her Water Chains, but each time her attacks were blocked by opponents near the archer.

"Tsk." Lin Manman clicked her tongue in annoyance and raised her hand to summon again. Can't catch it, huh? Then add another one!

When Lin Manman finally summoned her spirit pet again, the live stream chat exploded with activity.

"Wow, Sister Kid has finally summoned a new spirit pet."

"Make way, everyone! I'm a VIP member, let me see first!"

"Hiss, a white tiger? Is that it?"

"Mythical White Tiger?????? Huh??????"

"Holy crap, why did they send me to a beginner-level professional competition? Is this supposed to be a level 2 professional competition?"

"Great! We've got 'Big Eyes' trending on Weibo tomorrow!"

"Mom! Jinling has made something of itself! Our beginner professional competition not only features domain skills, but also produced a Mythical White Tiger!!"

The Professional Alliance hasn't released many mythical-level spirit beasts, but some are particularly special: those related to traditional Chinese mythology.

As soon as Amber appeared on stage, audience members who recognized her screamed instantly. The entire audience erupted in cheers, almost everyone standing up and shouting.

When Wu Yunsheng saw Lin Manman summon her spirit pet again, he was initially pleased rather than surprised. After all, forcing Lin Manman to reveal her trump card was a testament to their strength. But who would have thought that his smile would turn to terror the next second? The legendary spirit beast, the mythical White Tiger?

He wasn't worried that the mythical white tiger would hurt him badly, but rather that if they injured the white tiger, they would be beaten badly by the entire audience.

Mythical beasts not only represent high rank, excellent aptitude, and limitless future potential, but also rarity and preciousness! Mythical beasts associated with Chinese mythology and legends are more like a form of national belief and worship, capable of driving those obsessed with ancient Chinese civilization to madness!

Having been a salted fish for many years and only recently becoming a beast tamer, Lin Manman hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Seeing everyone's enthusiastic support, she assumed it was simply because mythical-level spirit beasts had good aptitude and were very powerful.

But no matter what everyone thought, Wu Yunsheng's team hesitated for a moment because of Amber's appearance, and their actions became somewhat chaotic.

Don't miss out!

"Rainbow Jade, Ah-Dai, Amber!" Lin Manman seized the opportunity and hurriedly commanded her spirit pets.

Rainbow Jade had been lurking near the archer, and its attempts to unleash its binding skill were repeatedly evaded. This did not make Rainbow Jade lose patience; instead, it became even more cautious in its hiding place, waiting for the right moment to strike and kill!

Now! The archer's movements were momentarily slowed by the amber, and Rainbow Jade seized the opportunity to activate the Water Chains.

Rainbow Jade's figure appeared beside the archer, accompanied by several chains formed from water elements. The archer was terrified, but this time he had no time to dodge. His companions, also startled, were too slow to react and could not provide support in time.

With the archers restrained, the balance of Wu Yunsheng's team was broken.

Without the archer's suppression, Ah-Dai used his wind blades in mid-air to block all the warrior's advances as he tried to evade the honey badger's pursuit. Forced to confront the honey badger head-on, Ah-Dai was quickly blasted off the stage by the combined attack of the honey badger and Ah-Dai.

Because of Amber's arrival, Wu Yunsheng and his companions dared not confront her directly and could only dodge in a sorry state. Now, the four spirit pets were gradually forming an encirclement, and apart from the bound archer and the warrior who had been blasted off the stage, only three people remained on the stage.

Wu Yunsheng looked at Amber in front of him, Honey Badger behind him, and Ah Dai in the sky constantly shrinking their space to move around. Rainbow Jade appeared and disappeared leisurely, as if constantly challenging his nerves.

"We surrender!"

Just before the honey badger and Amber pounced, Wu Yunsheng decisively conceded defeat. He knew he couldn't win anyway, and he genuinely didn't dare to fight, so there was no need to invite trouble.
