CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: THUNDEROUS ASCENSION

Step!

Lin Chen instructed Xiaobai to engage in a quick battle, and Xiaobai itself was well aware that if it couldn’t quickly defeat the Thousand-Faced Spider, its teammates might first be overcome by the Thunder Pattern Beast.

The only way out was for the Three Spirit Beasts to attack the Thunder Pattern Beast together.

"Moo!"

Xiaobai bellowed, signaling Lin Chen for timely instructions.

Xiaobai wasn’t lacking confidence; it simply trusted Lin Chen’s analysis and judgment more.

Lin Chen nodded, and Xiaobai charged forward.

The Iron Horn Impact was just activated, and its speed suddenly increased.

The Thousand-Faced Spider keenly sensed Xiaobai’s attack direction and immediately climbed to a high position, spitting out spider silk.

This is its Skill 1:

[Spider Silk Net]

This spider silk is very tough; once ensnared, you’re basically rendered combat ineffective.

So, the only option was to dodge.

The Iron Horn Impact does not move in a straight line, naturally reducing speed.

Xiaobai re-accelerated, and the Thousand-Faced Spider directly launched Skill 2:

[Spider Silk Cocoon]

It spat out three infinitely long threads of spider silk straight from its mouth, directly attacking Xiaobai.

Once ensnared, it would be tightly wrapped, perhaps even forming a silk cocoon.

Xiaobai leaped high into the air, not expecting the spider silk to turn and follow it.

Xiaobai frowned; if it abandoned its attack now, it would have to wait for the cooldown of the next Iron Horn Impact.

Here, every second counts, and over there, they might not hold out.

Just as Xiaobai hesitated, Lin Chen’s voice rang out timely:

"Xiaobai, activate Soul-Calming Hoof!"

...

Not far away, there were three people quietly watching the scene.

They were the first team.

Following the guidance provided by the Inner Courtyard students, they rushed over and happened to witness this scene.

Ye Yun was delighted; this was his chance to become famous.

He could avenge the second-ranked Chen Tao and retrieve Su Yu’s remains.

It’s almost certain that whoever retrieves Su Yu’s remains will be the center of attention.

"I don’t think they can hold out much longer," said a teammate beside him.

The Thunder Pattern Beast was indeed strong, and now Ning Zimo’s spirit beasts were struggling to hold on.

Ye Yun also acknowledged this, but he wasn’t foolish. Though he liked to show off, if he could sit back and enjoy the benefits, it was a great thing.

The best scenario would be to get everything!

However, just as they finished speaking, the battlefield situation changed.

Xiaobai acted on Lin Chen’s command and activated Soul-Calming Hoof.

Yet, it wasn’t aimed at the Thousand-Faced Spider, but at the Thunder Pattern Beast.

Because the Thousand-Faced Spider was simply too far away — the distance was insufficient.

While Xiaobai was puzzled, it noticed the spider silk that had been trailing it suddenly made a sharp turn towards the Thunder Pattern Beast.

In the air, it formed a giant spider web, blocking the Soul-Calming Hoof.

This is its third skill:

[Spider Silk into a Web]

But in front of the Thousand-Faced Spider, there was already an empty void.

Although Xiaobai didn’t understand why, its combat instincts told it this was a golden opportunity.

"Now, Xiaobai!"

Lin Chen also gave the order!

It bellowed, and the Iron Horn Impact was launched!

Step step step~~~

With the increase in speed, shadows started to appear on its horns.

Xiaobai did not use One Spirit into Three Bulls but charged with Mastery-Level Iron Horn Impact.

The Thousand-Faced Spider couldn’t react in time and was pierced through the abdomen by the horns.

Immediately after, it turned into a skeleton!

....

"That was so simple?!"

From afar, Chen Tao and the others were stunned.

The entire battle took barely a minute; it was too fast.

How did they struggle so much earlier?

Chen Tao looked at Lin Chen, finding it hard to believe that was the damage from a Plowhorn Beast, but his teammate comforted him: "It’s the result of all our exertion."

Chen Tao agreed, but hearing this made him even angrier.

However, Ning Zimo and Cai Yuanji’s eyes lit up...

Niu Niu never disappoints.

If Xiaobai hadn’t come, and the Snow Lion and Shadow Tiger’s Beast Power had been exhausted, they would have lost in the end.

"Brother Lin, how did you know it would definitely shield the Thunder Pattern Beast from Soul-Calming Hoof?" Cai Yuanji was puzzled.

Not only him, but Ning Zimo and Chen Tao also didn’t understand.

Lin Chen let out a breath and said, "It’s a Resentful Spirit; even though they lack reason, some things cannot be changed even in death."

"The books said Qin Hao and Su Yu were great friends, like brothers."

"So, Qin Hao wouldn’t just stand by and see the Thunder Pattern Beast ambushed, especially since Su Yu was the Youth Corps leader."

Everyone suddenly understood, and Cai Yuanji muttered quietly:

"Not bad, Brother Lin, even calculating with the dead."

Lin Chen pretended not to hear, besides, the intense battlefield didn’t allow them to chat any longer.

The Thunder Pattern Beast activated [Thunderous Ascension], making its combat prowess terrifying.

It was surrounded by lightning, like a Thunder Emperor.

If it engaged in physical combat, you’d be shocked numb.

In terms of ranged attacks, the Thunder Pattern Beast was incredibly agile, with speed like lightning.

Its two skills are:

[Thunder Shield]

[Thunder Palm]

Simply put, one is defense, the other offense.

Xiaobai tried using Soul-Calming Hoof on it first time, but it was immediately blocked by Thunder Shield, and the Thunder Pattern Beast was ready to strike back.

Luckily, at that moment, the Shadow Tiger stepped up, blocking the attack.

It was Cai Yuanji’s command.

Now, they needed to preserve Xiaobai’s fighting capability!

The Shadow Tiger temporarily lost action capability, Cai Yuanji said, "Brother Lin, don’t hold back, an emergency call from the Jianghu!"

Lin Chen nodded, turning to Ning Zimo, "Xiaobai is heavily exhausted; it needs some time to recover, give me twenty seconds."

"Okay."

Ning Zimo immediately commanded the Snow Lion.

But Chen Tao and his team were puzzled, they already noticed that the Plowhorn Beast was somewhat different, with combat power unlike typical Plowhorn Beasts.

But with both skills used, and the Soul-Calming Hoof unable to break through Thunder Shield, what other trump card do they have?

A level 10 Spirit Beast, you can’t say it’s awakened a third skill, can you?

The Snow Lion had rich battle experience, although constantly under attack by the Thunder Pattern Beast, holding on for twenty seconds wasn’t a problem.

After twenty seconds, Xiaobai, who had been resting, finally opened its eyes and stood up.

Ning Zimo and Cai Yuanji both breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s here...

In their minds, they recalled the terror of One Spirit into Three Bulls, showing a look of anticipation.

Chen Tao and his team were observing, not understanding why the two of them were banking everything on a Plowhorn Beast.

Lin Chen issued the One Spirit into Three Bulls’ attack command!

"Moo!"

A bellow sounded, deep and solemn, showcasing the might of the Ox King and telling the Snow Lion...

Your mission is complete!

Next, it’s Niu Niu’s turn!

Step!

A stomp with the front hoof, the horns glowed, and speed increased!

Speed pulled up fast, and Residual Shadow appeared!

"Nothing’s changed," Chen Tao and his team shook their heads; they knew this level of Iron Horn Impact alone couldn’t break through the Thunder Shield.

However, Xiaobai’s speed continued to increase, and when it reached the maximum, they finally saw something different.

"Two layers of Residual Shadows?!"

At this moment, Chen Tao and his team couldn’t stay calm, showing expressions of disbelief.

Divine Enlightenment Level Mastery?

What kind of talent does it take to achieve this?

Hey buddy, does your Spirit Beast not need rest?
