The night was deep, and in the room of the tavern, Li Qiuqiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
The competition was split into two days, with her match against Li Jiuxiao on the first day. In the past, perhaps Li Qiuqiu wouldn’t have minded much, as Li Jiuxiao’s Spirit Beast was formidable, and losing to him was understandable.
But now, Li Qiuqiu held her breath.
This breath was one of the Direct Lineage.
Though the Li Family was the main house, its strength couldn’t have grown without the help of all its direct lineages.
She didn’t demand equal status to the main family, but... Li Qiuqiu hoped Li Jiuxiao would see her as a person.
She muddled through the night, and when she was ready to set off the next day, Li Guan arrived.
"Second Uncle." Li Qiuqiu cupped her hands.
She respected Li Guan a lot, because, unlike Li Jiuxiao, Li Guan was very kind to people.
"Xiao Qiu, let tell you sothing." Li Guan looked at Li Qiuqiu and said:
"In this match against Jiuxiao, you’re likely to lose. It might be better to concede when the ti is right to avoid revealing too many of his trump cards."
"You should also be aware of the purpose of our Li Family’s visit this ti."
After a brief silence, Li Qiuqiu said to Li Guan, "Second Uncle, I want to give it a try."
Li Guan was taken aback. After contemplating for a mont, he looked at the determined gaze of Li Qiuqiu and finally said, "Alright, do as you please."
With that, Li Guan started to walk away. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Qiu, I am also of the direct lineage. Fight with all your might; I’ll protect you."
"Thank you, Second Uncle," Li Qiuqiu said gratefully, cupping her hands.
She knew very well that if she gave her all against Li Jiuxiao, she would undoubtedly face punishnt upon returning to the Li Family.
...
When Lin Chen arrived at the venue, it was already packed with people.
Thanks to Lee Zhen’s VIP seats, Lin Chen and his group could clearly see the situation on stage.
"Not too early, not too late," Qin Hao remarked, just as Li Jiuxiao and Li Qiuqiu appeared on stage.
Li Jiuxiao remained expressionless; he had never considered Li Qiuqiu a worthy opponent.
The referee saw that both were ready and announced:
[Semi-Final First Match]
[Li Qiuqiu vs. Li Jiuxiao]
[Level 18 Purple-Eyed Bull vs. Level 19 Bone Armor Bull]
[The match begins!]
As the voice fell, both of their Spirit Beasts moved.
In truth, the quality of the Bone Armor Bull was, to so extent, inferior to the Purple-Eyed Bull, but with the addition of a Beast King lineage, it beca different.
The term Beast King represented absolute kingly bloodline and imnse ability.
Just like when Lin Chen defeated the Corpse-Eroding King, its ability to swallow clan mbers to evolve was a Power of Mutation.
Skill 1: [Skeleton Heavy Armor, covering the body surface with regenerable Bone Armor to protect itself, reducing all damage, including Spiritual Power, during which the Bone Armor Bull gains the "Bone Spike Counterattack" status, capable of shooting out 3 Bone Spikes when receiving lee attacks or after a period of ti.]
Normally, the Bone Armor Bull couldn’t resist Spiritual Power nor possess the Bone Spike Counterattack status, which was a unique ability of the Beast King Bloodline.
Skill 2: [Bone Armor Clone, using its Bone Armor to create 4 Skeleton Puppets to aid in battle, inheriting 30% maximum health and defense of the Bone Armor Bull. The puppets can self-detonate, causing explosive area damage to nearby enemies. The more health the puppet clone has, the higher the damage.]
This skill is simply a Mutated Skill, similar to Xiaobai’s awakened Soul-Calming Hoof, not belonging to a normal branch of the sa kind.
The Bone Armor Bull acted first, entering Skeleton Heavy Armor state and then firing three Bone Spikes.
The three Bone Spikes flew out, while the Purple-Eyed Bull calmly sidestepped, easily evading them. No one expected the Bone Armor Bull to understand its movents so well, making a dive to predict its position.
Li Qiuqiu saw this and quickly issued a command:
"Purple-Eyed Bull, release Soul Capturing Gaze!"
The Purple-Eyed Bull’s eyes imdiately burst with purple energy ripples, shooting straight towards the Bone Armor Bull.
Soul Capturing Gaze has two types of damage: one is the burning energy damage, and the other is the fear-inducing Spiritual Power imprint.
This is its Skill 1.
Seeing this, the Bone Armor Bull wanted to dodge, but in the Skeleton Heavy Armor state, its speed beca cumberso, making it impossible to evade.
The Bone Armor Bull imdiately entered full defense mode, taking a direct hit from the Soul Capturing Gaze.
For a mont, it showed a look of fear towards the Purple-Eyed Bull.
This brief spiritual fear filled it with imnse unease, but due to being in the Bone Spike Counterattack state, its armor shot out another three Bone Spikes.
Intending to charge forward to use Skill 2, the Purple-Eyed Bull was forced to abandon its attack.
"Like fighting a hedgehog, it’s tough," Cai Yuanji remarked.
He naturally hoped for Li Qiuqiu to win, so that Lin Chen would have a higher chance in the final match.
Lin Chen also nodded, acknowledging that the Beast King Bloodline was indeed extraordinarily powerful, with skills capable of having Mutated Effects.
As the Bone Armor Bull gradually regained its senses, the first round of clashes ended.
The Bone Armor Bull let out a cry, and then its bones extended outward, reaching the ground.
At this mont, four Skeleton Bull Puppets appeared on the ground, an effect only achievable at Perfection Level Mastery.
The four puppets ford a fan shape and began to advance towards the Purple-Eyed Bull.
The Purple-Eyed Bull took a step back, shooting out two laser beams from its eyes, its Skill 2:
[Purple Beam]
Unlike Skill 1, it’s a straight line, shooting out like a laser, without Spiritual Power, only destructive power.
Boom~~
When the laser hit a puppet, it exploded instantly.
The Purple-Eyed Bull retreated another step, preparing to dodge another wave, waiting for its skill to cool down.
The speed of the opponent’s puppets wasn’t fast, so it had plenty of ti.
However, how could Li Jiuxiao and the Bone Armor Bull be unaware? The forr issued a command, and the three puppets imdiately ford a line, advancing towards the Purple-Eyed Bull.
Boom~
Another puppet exploded.
Yet, the distance between them was now less than five ters.
"If you don’t use Skill 3, you’re going to lose," a spectator shouted.
Li Qiuqiu’s Skill 3 also hadn’t been used.
Li Jiuxiao also looked at Li Qiuqiu, knowing that as a Li Family mber, whatever skill Li Qiuqiu’s Spirit Beast awakened must be reported to the Li Family; it was the family rule.
But then Li Jiuxiao realized he couldn’t rember what Li Qiuqiu’s Spirit Beast’s Skill 3 was.
In a mont, Li Qiuqiu finally spoke up:
"Open your eyes! Purple-Eyed Bull!"
"Moo~~"
The Purple-Eyed Bull bellowed towards the sky, and at that mont, a third purple eye opened above its two eyes.
At this mont, the VIPs on the stage also showed looks of surprise, and soone even exclaid:
"The Eye of Judgnt?!"
That’s right.
That is its na.
This is a skill that could be awakened by a Saint Beast Level ox-type Spirit Beast. Although it wasn’t as famous as the Barbaric Bloodline, its effect was fearso.
As soon as that third eye opened, a beam shot from each of the three eyes, then the three beams rged into one, forming a ray of energy similar to an aurora.
Boom~~
The mont it made contact with a puppet, its heart was directly pierced through.
The Judgnt Aurora then shot straight towards the Bone Armor Bull...
At this mont, Li Jiuxiao was sowhat surprised.
Li Qiuqiu’s strength was far greater than he had imagined.
anwhile, Li Guan on the stage sighed.
Oh Li Qiuqiu, do you really want to win this fight so badly?
The Eye of Judgnt carries severe aftereffects; once used, pupil power will greatly decline in the next half year.
Li Qiuqiu watched the scene unfold before her, she did not regret it.
Even if she were expelled from the Li Family, she had to fight with all her might.
Seeing that the aurora couldn’t be dodged, the Bone Armor Bull activated its Skeleton Heavy Armor again.
"Not enough!" soone shook their head.
The Judgnt Aurora was terrifying, and the Skeleton Heavy Armor couldn’t withstand it.
Crack~~~
As expected, the Heavy Armor shattered imdiately upon impact.
But, Li Jiuxiao’s Spirit Beast Bone Armor Bull stood unhard, while the Purple-Eyed Bull was bound to the spot, bleeding profusely.
