Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 59 skills are disabled.

Finally, the two remaining warriors, seeing that their captain had been sent down, could no longer muster the will to fight to the death. They were then surrounded and sent off the arena by the spirit pet and Liu Ping.

"Hahaha, we won!!" When the referee blew the whistle, Fang Yaqi excitedly hugged Lin Manman and shook her.

"I know you're excited, but don't get too excited yet. We need to get back into shape as quickly as possible."

While releasing the honey badger to treat the medical team, Lin Manman desperately dodged Fang Yaqi. She knew Fang Yaqi was very happy and excited; after all, winning this round guaranteed second place. But they were about to have their final match against Feng Moyun, so they needed to hurry up and recover.

Seeing that the honey badger had been released, Fang Yaqi realized that she had been too happy for too long, and quickly composed herself to catch up with the medical team to recover.

While Lin Manman and her team were quickly recovering with the help of the medical team, they were unaware that the internet was already rife with arguments about them.

"Hey, what happened to that genius from the capital who was the best in the world? Our little girl has her fifth spirit pet too, what do you say?"

"How can a previously unknown little girl compare to the resources of the Feng family in the capital?"

"This young girl is quite talented, but compared to the scions who are given special attention and nurtured by prominent families, she is definitely still lacking."

"As it stands, Miss Feng already has three level-three spirit pets. Little Sister's side is indeed at a disadvantage."

"I'm telling you, there's a limit to how much you fawn over the capital's power, isn't there? A competition held on our own turf in Nanjing, where another region wins the championship—does that make you happy?"

"How did discussing the matter on its merits escalate into a regional debate? I'm truly exasperated by some of these mindless trolls."

"Am I the only one curious about the true strength of these two beast tamers?"

"I'm curious too! It seems like neither of them has been playing at full strength all this time."

"This year's competition is really magical. It feels like the top three in the Level 2 group could go to the Level 3 group and compete for rankings."

The barrage of comments, arguing endlessly about the relative strengths of Lin Manman and Feng Moyun, and even the relative strengths of their regions, gradually distorted the overall tone of the discussion.

Meanwhile, Lin Manman, recovering from her injuries, was pondering how to deal with Feng Moyun. As she thought, she couldn't help but glance at Yin Yue beside her…

The official medical team was quite capable; it took them less than ten minutes to fully recover, and they even rested for a bit afterward.

When they returned to the stage, the giant rocks on the arena had been cleaned up by the organizer's spatial mage, and the craters that had been smashed out had been repaired and smoothed out by the earth mage.

Lin Manman also keenly noticed that the referee had changed. As she glared at the referee, the referee also glanced at her. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like the referee had glared at her.

But why? Lin Manman was a little confused.

But she soon found out the reason...

Before the match resumed, the new referee read out a new set of rules.

"This competition aims to facilitate skill exchange; therefore, all skills with excessively high levels of damage are prohibited. If serious injuries or fatalities occur during the competition, the opposing team will be held accountable. Participants are advised to take note!"

After the referee finished reading the announcement, he glanced at Lin Manman, as if afraid she wouldn't know he was talking about her.

Good heavens, they're after her?! Lin Manman scratched her head. She hadn't intended to cause any casualties; she had already told Hongyu to keep an eye on her.

Fang Yaqi secretly gave her a thumbs up, "You are still the only person in the history of the league who single-handedly got the tournament organizers to change the rules of the competition."

Lin Manman: ……

Is this something to be proud of?

I couldn't help but glare at her. If meteorites falling from the sky are banned, they'll be the ones who suffer!

After both teams took their positions, Feng Moyun summoned all five of her spirit pets. In the final match, no one had anything left to hide.

Lin Manman's crew didn't reclaim their pet space, so there was no need to summon them again.

Feng Moyun and Lin Manman, representing the captains of their respective teams, shook hands before the match. This was the first time she had been so close to this young lady; she looked aloof, but her eyes were incredibly clear and pure.

"Um... could you stay a little longer after the competition?" Feng Moyun rarely spoke to strangers, and a blush crept onto her face as she spoke to Lin Manman.

Lin Manman blinked. "Sure, but could you go easy on me during the match?"

Feng Moyun was shocked that someone would openly ask their opponent to throw the game, her usually phoenix eyes turning into almond-shaped ones. She involuntarily glanced at the referee, whose face also showed a speechless expression.

She didn't know whether to answer or not, so she simply pretended not to hear and turned back to her own group.

She seems to be a very upright young lady... Lin Manman raised an eyebrow.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the honey badger and the armored dragon clashed. Both were level three spirit beasts, but the armored dragon was much smaller than the honey badger, though its defense and attack were significantly inferior.

From their very first encounter, Honey Badger and Lin Manman realized the difference in skill level; they couldn't afford to fight head-on...

"Dumb!"

Honey Badger and Ah-Dai immediately understood her meaning. The father and son activated their talents simultaneously, and a huge sandstorm appeared in the center of the arena.

Feng Moyun commanded the Thorn Vine to pull herself and her teammates out of the storm's area, while simultaneously having the Dark King Serpent and Swift Shadow Panther use stealth to circle around to Lin Manman's rear. The Ironback Scabbard, trapped in the center of the sandstorm, also unleashed its roar, attempting to break the Honey Badger's spirit first.

Amber transformed into a glass body in time to shield the honey badger from the mental attack. Amber's Divine Flame Glass Body, in another form, is not only immune to magical attacks but also to mental attacks.

After Amber blocked the attack for the honey badger, the Dark King Serpent and the Swift Shadow Leopard also took the opportunity to sneak up nearby. The Dark King Serpent tried to use its mind to control the honey badger, but Amber successfully blocked it again.

The moment the Dark King Serpent appeared, the Honey Badger immediately retreated, activating its Gravity Domain. At that moment, the Flame Hound, which was meant to counter the Honey Badger's domain attack, was trapped on the other side by the sandstorm, allowing the Honey Badger to successfully unleash its Gravity Domain.

The Dark King Serpent and the Swift Shadow Leopard were slammed heavily to the ground by the sudden increase in gravity. Taking advantage of the situation, Hong Yu sprayed a burst of water arrows at the two immobilized spirit pets, and Zhu Zibin immediately used a freezing spell in perfect unison.

Lin Manman was overjoyed to have successfully frozen the two spirit pets. Now, all she had to do was defend against the Flame Domain Hound and prevent it from melting the freeze spell.

Just as she was about to ask the honey badger to bring the two frozen spirit pets over, dozens of vines suddenly shot out from the sandstorm and pulled the two frozen spirit pets over.

Lin Manman sighed. It wasn't that easy after all.

Ah-Dai barked twice, reporting to Lin Manman that everyone trapped in the sandstorm had been rescued by the thorny vine. Lin Manman had no choice but to have Honey Badger and Ah-Dai withdraw their talents; this wave of losses was a waste, achieving no effect whatsoever.
