CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: 3V3, THREE CRUSH THREE

Cai Yuanji was still quite obstinate, feeling that he lost due to ignorance before, so he always wanted to redeem himself.

"Brother Lin, I’m not saying it’s you, but when I’m speaking, try not to interrupt me, it makes you seem very impolite."

"Their consciousness is about to disappear."

"I can understand that, but..."

"I never claimed to be well-mannered."

"Alright."

Cai Yuanji admitted defeat, thinking if someone can be shameless, they could indeed be invincible.

After organizing the three bags, Lin Chen labeled them with their names and stored them in the Beast Taming Space.

"Brother Lin is very meticulous." Cai Yuanji admired this time, thinking that when they go back, Lin Chen deserves the highest level of burial; heroes like him shouldn’t remain nameless.

Lin Chen looked at the bones of the spirit beasts on the ground, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Take their bones along too."

Ning Zimo and Cai Yuanji were slightly startled, as no one outside mentioned taking the spirit beasts’ bones.

But they did not object.

These spirit beasts also contributed to this city, to humanity, they shouldn’t be left with no resting peace.

This time, not only Xiaobai and Xiaohong, but the other two spirit beasts also looked at Lin Chen with gratitude.

....

This scene happened repeatedly at this ruins site.

The Inner Courtyard dispatched twenty teams this time, with a total of sixty people, and there were only 101 beastmaster bones, making them scarce commodities.

Compared to the Inner Courtyard’s strength, the strength of these young beastmasters was still lacking.

So in just a single day, this group of people had already obtained over fifty young beastmaster bones.

Subsequently, without targets, internal strife finally began.

By the end of the first day, Lin Chen and his group had already been attacked.

However, the opponents were not strong and were easily subdued by the three of them.

"A mere Inner Courtyard, easily handled." Cai Yuanji was excited.

This time, they seized two beastmaster bones from the opponents, bringing their total to seven beastmaster bones.

However, for the entire next day, they did not encounter any bones transformed from resentful spirits.

"Brother Cai, why don’t you say something again?" Lin Chen looked at Cai Yuanji’s mouth.

"You’re insulting people!" Cai Yuanji was very angry.

Ning Zimo said, "I think we should start competing for them too."

Lin Chen nodded, he had the same thought.

Finding them yourself is not as fast as snatching!

There are rules here, you can’t kill unless the other party also strikes to kill.

The three of them set their sights on another target, and on the third day, they encountered another team.

"Lin Chen?!"

In the other team, there was someone Lin Chen knew.

Guan Yang.

Previously, during the search for Divine Fox Egg, he had a run-in with him.

Lin Chen had a good impression of him, but this time they met as rivals again.

"You two know each other?" Guan Yang was not the captain; the man with long hair beside him was.

"We’ve crossed paths." Guan Yang said.

"Then you deal with him." The long-haired man fixated on Ning Zimo, saying: "I heard you’re Ning Tian’s younger brother."

"Ning Tian?" Guan Yang and his teammates all froze for a moment.

Ning Tian... the top of the previous cycle’s Hundred Stars Chart, known throughout the academy.

Ning Zimo didn’t speak, but Lin Chen noticed he was a bit irritable.

"Come, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your brother!"

The long-haired man gestured to attack, and Guan Yang also commanded the Flame Wolf to again confront Xiaobai.

....

Cattle and wolf stared at each other, both confident.

But clearly, the Flame Wolf’s fighting spirit was more intense.

Last time it lost to Xiaobai, and since then it had been training hard, remembering Guan Yang’s words:

"As long as you grow smoothly, crushing it will be effortless."

The current Flame Wolf was also Level 10, and things like Beast Spirit Pills were not lacking in the Inner Courtyard.

Also, it had awakened its second skill, reaching the Flame Wolf’s strong phase.

"This time, I must win!"

The Flame Wolf crouched, pounced forward, and suddenly punched through the air.

It wasn’t its Skill 1, Wind and Fire Fist, but its second skill:

[Fire Dragon Fist]

This move was a long-range attack and dealt considerable damage.

The Fire Dragon Fist was unleashed, a surge of scorching fire energy flew swiftly towards Xiaobai, the surrounding air twisted and deformed by the high temperature.

The Flame Wolf was eager, and so was Guan Yang.

But Xiaobai just stood there, facing this opponent it once needed a hard fight to defeat, now Xiaobai was not the same as before.

"Moo!!"

It finally took action, stepping on the ground as it charged.

Soul-Calming Hoof!

To deal with the Flame Wolf, it doesn’t even need to use a Combined Skill.

The shockwave of the Soul-Calming Hoof directly collided with the Fire Dragon Fist, producing a violent roar.

The Flame Wolf was vigilant, seeing Xiaobai attacking from the flank, the horns glowing.

The Iron Horn Impact, carrying a Residual Shadow, came!

The Flame Wolf had learned from countless past encounters to remember this move by heart,

but this time, it could not lose again. Just as it was about to exert its power, unexpectedly Guan Yang shouted:

"Watch out!"

With a swift glance, the Flame Wolf noticed that the shockwave on the ground was still continuing!

Soul-Calming Hoof...

It’s a win!

The Flame Wolf wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Bam!

Hit by the Soul-Calming Hoof, its head buzzed instantly. The next second the Flame Wolf lost its fighting power, Xiaobai’s Iron Horn Impact arrived as expected.

Crack~~

The Flame Wolf instantly felt its body out of balance, thrown ten meters away!

It tried trembling to get up, but its fighting strength was gone.

At this moment, Guan Yang and the Flame Wolf both looked up, staring at Xiaobai, who was dusting itself off...

They had tried so hard, yet still couldn’t make it, could they?

What kind of opponent is this anyway?

Could it be that they hadn’t tried hard enough?

As for Xiaobai, it was puzzled:

Why did the opponent seem weaker?

It was thinking of having a good fight, but there was no need to exert much strength.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had reminded it not to give its all, or the Flame Wolf might have been killed.

....

Lin Chen resolved the battle too swiftly; meanwhile, his teammates were still engaged.

Their captain, seeing Guan Yang lose so quickly, asked, "Guan Yang, what’s going on?"

Guan Yang felt bitter and couldn’t explain.

The captain shouted to his Beast Spirit, the Hellhound: "Be cautious of the opponent’s flanking attacks."

Ning Zimo, typically silent, seemed provoked, and for once, coldly smiled, saying, "Do you think you’re worthy?"

The captain was taken aback, then Ning Zimo signaled the Snow Lion to exert force, instantly activating the Lion’s Breath of the Perfection Realm.

Almost immediately, the Hellhound’s half body was directly frozen, and the Snow Lion won the final victory in a crushing manner.

As for Cai Yuanji, it was downright easy, as the enemy’s Spirit Beast was brutally beaten from start to finish.

Here, the three of them felt awkwardly silent.

In this 3V3, not a single victory was secured.

However, they had decent character and chose to hand over the skeletons, so Lin Chen didn’t start a personal attack.

Though Ning Zimo seemed rather eager for a personal attack.

Isn’t Ning Tian his brother?

It seemed like there was a deep-seated enmity.

Lin Chen didn’t ask further and said to them, "Thanks."

After speaking, he left with his team, leaving behind the silent trio.

After a long time, the captain said, "The Snow Lion is indeed powerful. It seems the first team will have to exert some effort to beat them."

They weren’t like Tang Xuehai, who belonged to the Inner Courtyard, naturally concerned about the strength of their peers in the Inner Courtyard, and had little information from other places.

The teammates beside nodded, while Guan Yang had different thoughts in his heart.

He didn’t know why, but he always felt...

That Lin Chen was the strongest among them.

After all, both of them seemed to be following Lin Chen’s instructions just now.

....

"...Brother Lin, what did you just pick up from the ground?"

Not long after they left, Cai Yuanji asked Lin Chen curiously.

He noticed that Lin Chen’s path was a bit strange; he insisted on walking on uneven ground instead of flat land.

"Nothing... nothing." Lin Chen felt a bit guilty, looking at the blood on his hand.

The reason he walked this route was because it was where the Hellhound had fallen, leaving bloodstains.

He had collected the Flame Wolf’s blood, but the Hellhound was a new species:

[Hellhound]

[High-level Mortal Beast]

[Dominant Bloodline: Hellhound 53.3%, Demon Beast 27.5%]

[Hidden Bloodline: 13.3%]

[Polluted Bloodline: 5.9%]

"Indeed, people in the Inner Courtyard are well-off..." Lin Chen sighed.

So far, the Spirit Beasts of the Inner Courtyard Beastmasters had excellent bloodlines.

As Lin Chen was lost in thought, suddenly, a voice sounded ghostly around, scaring the Little Fox into a shiver:

"My brother and Brother Su Yu are missing, can you help me find them?"
