Starting with summoning the succubus

"..."

Upon seeing this, Qi Lin's expression immediately turned serious.

According to Song Junda's intelligence, both of these pets are first-tier creatures from another world.

Although that red-feathered giant eagle wasn't exactly a "peak first-tier" creature, it was already troublesome enough that it had wings and could fly, and it could also breathe fireballs, making it essentially a flying turret.

The large black wolf, on the other hand, was a fully-fledged Tier 1 peak creature, with its [Strength] and [Agility] both reaching Tier 1 9 stars.

So far, this Beastmaster Lilith is the strongest opponent Qi Lin has faced on the arena!

"3!"

At this moment, Chi Yinghao began to announce the countdown to the battle.

"2!"

"1!"

Battle begins!

Chapter 71 Miss Lilith, you didn't want this either...

"Wow—"

The moment the battle began, the crimson giant eagle spread its wings and took flight, grabbing Lilith's shoulders with its feet and carrying her into the sky.

Yes, it flew away.

She didn't fly out of the magic circle's boundary; she simply hovered about thirty meters above it, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king.

Once the Beastmaster himself is dealt with, the battle will be over.

The problem is, how do you deal with this beast tamer when she's flying in the sky?

Qi Lin, who has not yet mastered flight magic or activated the power of the Winged Demon, is helpless in this situation and can only deal with the immediate problem first.

"Roar!"

The black wolf with a unicorn roared and charged toward Qi Lin. The blue horn on its forehead emitted a faint blue light, making Qi Lin feel a weight on his body.

Gravity spell!

This one-horned black wolf comes from another world; gravity manipulation is an innate ability of their race.

Fortunately, this level of gravity manipulation was still within Qi Lin's acceptable range...

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Lilith in the sky formed a hand seal and shot out a beam of azure light toward the unicorn black wolf. Immediately afterward, the black wolf's blue horn burst into a bright light, flashing in Qi Lin's eyes for a moment, and at the same time, the effect of the gravity spell increased several times!

Qi Lin instantly felt as if his body was filled with lead, and his speed decreased sharply!

It's a strengthened beast seal!

Beastmasters possess the [Beastmaster Power] within them. This power allows them to cast "Beast Enhancement Seals," thereby amplifying the various abilities of their pets. It is a signature ability of beastmasters!

The Black Wolf's gravity manipulation is mediocre, and Qi Lin can even ignore it.

However, with the amplification from the enhanced beast seal, the gravity had intensified to a point where he could hardly bear it. Even when he used the Blood Shadow Technique at full power, his movement speed was still very slow.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the one-horned black wolf rushed up to Qi Lin, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down hard on him.

Affected by the gravity spell, Qi Lin had no way to avoid it normally. He could only roll and dodge, rolling on the ground and crawling under the black wolf's belly. Although he looked a bit disheveled, he narrowly escaped being bitten.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the giant wolf's black fur, flipped over and jumped onto the back of the one-horned black wolf.

"Roar!!"

The unicorn black wolf shook its head and struggled, trying to throw Qi Lin off its back.

However, Qi Lin made a hand seal with his left hand and directly cast a spell to condense a purple-pink magic rope. Like a horse lassoer, he wrapped the rope around the neck of the unicorn black wolf and then pulled hard on the end of the rope, tightening it with great force!

This "tightening" isn't done by hand alone, but by magic!

Light Rope is magic, so Qi Lin used his powerful magic at level 9 to tighten the light rope!

"Uh……"

The unicorn black wolf raised its head, feeling a deep sense of suffocation as its neck was tightly locked by the light rope.

"Hey!"

Qi Lin rode on the back of the black wolf, holding the light rope in his left hand and the magic sword in his right, pointing the tip of the sword at the black wolf's eyeball. Then he shouted to Lilith in the sky, "Miss Lilith, you don't want your pet to go blind in one eye, do you?!"

"do not want!"

Lilith's face was filled with panic, and her voice even had a hint of crying.

Then, she quickly patted the eagle talons on her shoulder, signaling the red-feathered giant eagle to take her back to the ground.

The red-feathered giant eagle immediately did as instructed.

As soon as Lilith landed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran to Black Wolf and Qi Lin, crying, "I give up! I give up! Please, please untie the ropes!"

"..."

Seeing this, many trainees in the audience were stunned.

Jiang Ruobai and the others from the Second Academy were completely dumbfounded, never expecting that the battle would end in such an absurd way.

"Second Academy Amy Lilith, defeated."

"Three academies arrive together, victory! Number of defeated: 12!"

At this moment, Chi Yinghao, who was in mid-air, slowly announced the results.

Qi Lin then released the magic rope, flipped over and jumped off the giant wolf's back, bowed his head and apologized to Lilith, who was crying with tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry, it was a bit unfair to win, but I need to conserve my magic and stamina, so please understand."

"No, no, no, you don't need to be embarrassed..."

Lilith lowered her head and replied, then raised her hand to stroke the marks on the black wolf's neck, her face full of heartache, and kept whispering words like "I'm sorry" and "I hurt you again" in its ear.

Qi Lin watched with mixed feelings.

"To her, her pets are like family, right?"

Elena's soft voice suddenly echoed in her mind, "This wolf and this eagle must be very important to her."

Qi Lin remained silent.

"I have something to say about this match."

Chi Yinghao suddenly descended from mid-air and came to the two of them. He first glanced at Qi Lin, then looked at all the students present, and said in a deep voice: "There is no such thing as an unfair victory when it comes to reasonable tactical choices. Remember, 'unfair victory' is a meaningless phrase!"

I want you to remember, to remember this well: in the life-and-death struggle, for victory, for survival, any means can be used, no matter how dirty or despicable!

In a match where the stakes are cleared, any tactic can be used as long as it's within the rules. As long as the rules allow it and you haven't cheated, there's no such thing as an 'unfair victory'! Don't limit yourself!

Is threatening a beast tamer with the safety of their pet to force them to surrender considered cheating? Of course not, there is no such competition rule in the world!

Therefore, Qi Lin won this match beautifully!

Yes, it's beautiful!

He has played 12 games so far, and only this one deserves praise.

Because he no longer uses brute force to defeat his opponents, but uses his brain.

He discovered Lilith's weak personality and her excessive pampering of her pets, so he chose to use the simplest and easiest way to deal with this opponent who was the strongest on paper so far.

Lilith didn't even use her Beast Mark Enhancement much, and her second pet didn't even manage to fire a single fireball. She hadn't even shown half of her full potential before Qi Lin forced her to surrender and admit defeat.

Judging from the outcome, this was a perfect tactic and a very clever execution.

I hope you all can learn from this.

Remember, fighting is not a gentleman's game, but a life-or-death struggle.

Forget about etiquette and manners; use every means to win! And battle is never about brute force; wisdom determines victory!!

At this point, Chi Yinghao seemed to remember something, and his expression became extremely complicated. "I have always disliked the exam-oriented education in some schools, which turns students into fools, making them like idiots when facing life-or-death crises on the battlefield, and then they die because of it... You must learn to protect yourselves."

The students in the audience had different expressions, and each of them had gained a different understanding.

They knew very well that while the retired veteran seemed to be talking about the contest, he was actually talking about much more than just the contest.

Chapter 72 Fourteen-game winning streak, the last four!

"And you too!"

At this moment, Chi Yinghao turned to look at Lilith and said in a deep voice, "Pets are not as fragile as you think. Your excessive pampering of your pets will only cause them to die when they shouldn't!"

Just now, when Qi Lin was riding on the black wolf's back, why didn't you let the red eagle spit fireballs at him? Were you afraid of accidentally hurting the black wolf? Or were you afraid that Qi Lin wouldn't be forced back by the fireballs and would hurt the black wolf instead?

That's completely wrong.

Lilith, let me tell you, on a real battlefield, the enemy will only deceive, not show mercy. After you surrender, you, your wolf, and your eagle will all die because of your foolishness!

"..."

Lilith lowered her head, her hands twisting the hem of her dress.

"Roar!"

The black wolf beside him glared angrily at Chi Yinghao and roared.

Its intelligence wasn't very high; it couldn't understand the Commonwealth language; it only knew that this human had made its master feel down, so it was angry.

"Look, this wolf is much braver than you."

Chi Yinghao's gaze softened slightly as he whispered to Lilith, "You are its master, but it can also be your teacher. Go and learn from it, learn courage and fearlessness, and it will help you go further."

"teacher!"

At this moment, Jiang Ruobai raised his hand and said, "Your teachings have always been correct, and I will not refute them. But I think that since you always teach us as soldiers, is it possible that we will never actually become soldiers in the future?"

Therefore, this knowledge doesn't seem that important to us.

It's not that important to Lilith. She filled out her career aspirations form at school, saying she wanted to go to medical school and become a veterinarian to treat injured animals. For a veterinarian who spends most of her time in offices and operating rooms, battlefield combat knowledge must be secondary, right? What do you think?
