“No!” Lin Yingxue dashed in a panic and squatted next to Wu Wu with tears streaming incessantly.
Unfortunately, the arena was never a place for tears.
“Little girl, you have lost.” Wang Wang smiled grimly, waving another iron chain.
The arena was filled with exclamations and shouts.
Everyone believed that Lin Yingxue was about to lose.
Chen An was the only person who furrowed his brows, staring at Wu Wu closely, as well as at Lin Yingxue’s heartbroken figure.
[The Attribute System has been launched and will be tested soon.]
Chen An checked Lin Yingxue’s attributes thoroughly with the system, and her portable chamber caught his attention.
The number of portable chambers was also one of Beast Tamers’ important talents. A portable chamber enabled a Beast Tamer to have a beast. If one would like to have another beast, one must replace the existing one.
In addition, there were people who were born with more than three portable chambers and were extremely adaptable. They could summon several beasts to fight together at the same time.
This would not be considered as cheating or bullying, as one’s talent itself was part of one’s ability as well.
Fortunately, such geniuses were extremely rare. Even if they had such portable chambers, they would remain vacant because of the poor adaptability of the portable chamber, as well as the fact that no suitable beast could be found.
Most people only had one portable chamber, which was enough.
This was the case for Lin Yingxue, however…
“Why did she cry and look so heartbroken? Many beasts meet with unexpected deaths in competitions. She could simply choose another beast,” the audience in the back row whispered.
“This little girl seems rich. It would not be a problem to get a better beast. Alas, indeed, the richer she is, the more stingy she is.”
“What? She must be a thin-skinned girl who bawled her guts out after losing the competition. She is after all too young, she would not do.”
There were a lot of discussions in the audience, and all of them believed the problem was that Lin Yingxue was too frail and weak.
Dou Buxiang stuck its head, looking sad.
Chen An touched Dou Buxiang’s head. He understood why Lin Yingxue was so heartbroken.
She came from an extremely powerful bloodline, and she was very talented. She was fully qualified to become a top Beast Tamer.
But the problem lay in her only portable chamber. It had very low adaptability. Even the most ordinary beasts found it difficult to adapt. It was not easy for her to find a beast with medium-grade qualifications like Wu Wu.
If she lost Wu Wu, she might never find a suitable beast.
In other words, she would no longer be qualified to be a Beast Tamer.
Wang Wang kept pressing in, eager to deal the final blow with the iron chain in his hand. “Little girl, your combat skill is good, but it’s a pity that the beast is too inferior. When this is over, come to me, and I will give you a good beast. The two of us can have a good discussion, shall we?”
He smiled wretchedly, hinting at something else.
The sharp edge at the end of the chain was about to pierce Lin Yingxue’s fair skin.
Boom—
There was a muffled sound.
The chain bounced away, and there seemed to be an extra layer of protection around Lin Yingxue.
Wu Wu, which was in her arms, radiated a faint green halo from its body. The scarlet bloodstains were all cleaned up.
“Is this healing?” Perhaps this was the effect of the skills book? Lin Yingxue widened her eyes in surprise, hoping that Wu Wu would be alright.
Wang Wang was astonished. He had been through many battles and had seen too many beasts’ skills. There were either offensive skills or defensive skills. Basically, no one used the skills book of the treatment category. This was because such skills were really useless.
“Even if it could achieve a small amount of treatment, what’s the use? Little girl, if you can’t bear to part with this rabbit, I can spare its life. As for what to do, you should understand, am I right?”
Wang Wang’s eyes swept restlessly again over Lin Yingxue.
“Hmph!” Lin Yingxue snorted coldly and pointed her fingertips on Wu Wu’s forehead. The golden pattern quickly echoed the lines on her body. “You are the one who should beg for mercy!”
“Moon, disperse!”
Chen An had witnessed the power of this move. Therefore, he was not surprised when Wang Wang was sent flying away. The posture was exactly the same as when Wang Yi was being beaten.
On the contrary, the audience shouted and stood up in shock.
“Awesome! This girl fought with an opponent one star higher than her and won the battle!”
“Don’t tell me this can do as well? Why did she wait until now to use the sure-win move?”
On the competition stage, Lin Yingxue took advantage of Wang Wang’s fall to defeat his beast, the Evil Grimsteel Dog.
The dog was already lying in the corner, its head drooping, deep in sleep. Lin Yingxue pulled the dog’s ears and threw it off the stage.
The big screen in the center of the arena had completed the calculations.
“Lin Yingxue won, points +12. Cumulative points: 402.”
Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and left the audience.
Thankfully it was a win. If it were a loss, things would not be as simple as refunding money.
As soon as it was over, Lin Yingxue carried Wu Wu in her arms and hurried to find Chen An. “Hurry up, help me to see how Wu Wu is. It scared me to death just now, I thought…”
She hesitated to speak, not knowing whether she was worried that she would no longer be a Beast Tamer, or she was worried about the safety of the beast, or both.
“But it’s so strange. Was the light on Wu Wu the effect of the skills book? The one I bought from you? It seems to have more than a healing effect. There was a moment just now when I felt that I was unprecedentedly powerful.”
Wu Wu kept kicking in Chen An’s hands, as if eager to return to Lin Yingxue’s arms.
Lin Yingxue leaned over and kept scratching its chin to make it behave.
Looking at this scene, Dou Buxiang could only jump around, feeling aggrieved and anxious.
“Please tell me what is going on?” Lin Yingxue’s eyes were fixed on Chen An. She was already standing very close to him, and her dark pupils brimmed with determination.
Chen An shrugged. “As I have said, it is definitely to your advantage to buy the skills book from me. That skill book is called “Vast Sky”. Passive skills can be triggered when one is severely injured. The healing skill is only a secondary skill. The important part is that the combat capability of beasts could be greatly improved in a short period of time and turn the tide to win at the last moment.”
This was the key to victory.
Lin Yingxue lowered her eyes and felt ashamed.
She would have definitely lost without this skills book. And the consequences… She did not dare to think about it.
“Thank you…” It was a very small sound, almost like a mosquito’s whisper.
“Huh?” Chen An really did not hear it.
“Let’s go. It’s all your fault for taking away Wu Wu’s spirit core. I tried so hard to advance to the next level. I have to prepare for the next match!” Lin Yingxue’s attitude changed drastically, and she was back to her proud self.
At the time of calculation, her accumulated points had exceeded 400 points. This meant that a three-star Beast Tamer had around 300 to 400 points. Once it was exceeded, one would be matched based on a four-star Beast Tamer.
The opponent in the next battle was of the same level as Wang Wang and might be more powerful and of a higher level.
Currently, Wu Wu used low-grade spirit core and ordinary skills books. This was simply not sufficient to fight in the battle.
“We have already agreed that you are responsible for my beast.” Lin Yingxue turned and walked forward, a rich and sweet fragrance in her hair.
