Chapter 208: Chapter 182: Competition for Quotas_3

“`

Han Yu Ning hesitated for a moment, unsure about Chen Xing’s strength. Although he had passed the twelfth level, he did so with the difficulty set for 16-year-olds.

The monsters on the twelfth level would certainly differ from those for other ages.

Lin Beicang, noticing Han Yu Ning’s hesitation, immediately remarked, “Is Teacher Han scared?” “Fine.” Chen Xing agreed.

Han Yu Ning looked at Chen Xing with confusion. Chen Xing nodded, signaling no issue. Han Yu Ning, out of trust for Chen Xing, nodded as well. “Good.”

The Lin Family did not want to escalate the situation, and neither did the Han Family.

Therefore, the testing ground was set in a secret realm controlled by Jiuzhou University.

Lin Zihan looked at Chen Xing opposite him, a hint of jealousy flickering in his eyes.

After much hard work, he had only managed to train his Beast Taming to Level 99. The highest he’d reached in the school’s Inheritance Tower was the sixth level, and that too at the age of nineteen.

The difficulty of the Inheritance Tower relatively decreases over time.

The first year of challenge is the toughest, as the Beast Taming is only a year into cultivation, with limited mastery over skills and cultivated energy levels.

Back then, he couldn’t even get past the third level during his first year.

Yet, his opponent had already conquered the twelfth level.

His Beast Taming, the Skyward-Back Ape, primarily relied on melee combat, with immense physical strength, which is why his family chose the Walker Transcendence Ceremony for him.

With the summoning incantation in his heart and his call uttered, the air around him seemed to tremble,

and a twenty-meter-tall behemoth descended!

It’s muscles bulged like cords, its dark cyan fur flying wild like grass in strong winds, with a pale ring of hair encircling its neck along its back.

Its sturdy chest was covered with dense scars.

No sooner had it appeared than it emitted a strong ferocious aura.

“Come on.” Lin Zihan stared at Chen Xing, knowing from the records that Chen Xing’s Beast Taming was only about fifty-some meters long during the college cup.

Even though it was double the length of his own Beast Taming.

But that was manageable; such size differences weren’t significant for Beast Taming.

His Beast Taming’s energy level far surpassed that of his opponent’s, more than enough to easily bridge this gap in size.

Chen Xing raised his right hand.

The Skyward-Back Ape saw a massive mountainous figure suddenly descend before it!

The secret realm’s earth trembled thunderously.

Lin Zihan stared, dumbfounded, at the behemoth before him that was many times larger than his Beast Taming.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen monsters larger than the behemoth before him.

In the Exotic Region, various monsters roamed with even more exaggerated sizes.

But those with exaggerated sizes were at least of the Transcendence Realm, some even having traveled far within it.

He had never before seen a beast below Level 100 in energy level grow so large.

“This isn’t even Level 100?”

Lin Zihan wasn’t the only one with that question; Lin Beicang and Dean Lin’s minds simultaneously raised the same doubt.

Director Huang’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

It seemed he understood why Chen Xing could pass the twelfth level.

Even without knowledge of this creature’s… oh, Beast Taming’s energy level, just its sheer size was enough to infer the strength of its flesh.

No wonder they chose the Walker Transcendence Ceremony; if it were me, I’d definitely select the Walker Transcendence Ceremony too!

Han Yu Ning hadn’t seen Taotie for a long time, and upon suddenly seeing it, after a few seconds of silence, joy surged in her heart. You truly are the student I appreciated!

Han Zhaobao’s eyes lit up fiercely, gaze fixed on Taotie.

The moment this soldier witnessed Taotie, his mind was filled with various tactical and battle scene imaginations.

This physique was born for the battlefield!

If the Fleshly Transcendence Ceremony was completed, it would be akin to an ultra-large bulldozer, a war behemoth on the battlefield!

Damn it, if Jiuzhou University doesn’t want it, the military will!

“`

Lin Zihan kept muttering to himself, “Size doesn’t mean everything, size doesn’t mean everything.”

“Heaven-sent Ape, unleash the Heavenly Star Burst Dragon Fist!” Lin Zihan ordered decisively.

There was no need to test with ordinary skills, so he went straight for the strongest advanced skill the Heaven-sent Ape possessed!

Upon hearing the command, the Heaven-sent Ape instantly entered combat state, stomping its right foot fiercely on the earth, causing the ground to seemingly sink three inches under the force.

Subsequently, its fist began to gather strength, bursting with a brilliant red light as radiant as a comet at its tip.

The next second, the entire body pulled out long afterimages.

The air around it seemed to be drawn by this strength, forming air current vortices.

“Deep Sea Assault,” Chen Xing gave the command decisively.

Although the opponent was unleashing a major skill, there was no need for Taotie to just stand there and take it.

Taotie’s figure blurred, transforming into a torrential flood.

The Heaven-sent Ape’s fist passed through the water, but the force on the fist made contact with the water flow transformed by Taotie.

The momentum of the Deep Sea Assault halted abruptly, forcibly stopping.

The power of Deep Sea Assault depended on the surging force of the transformed water flow and had nothing to do with Taotie’s own strength.

But as Taotie’s size increased, the water stirred by Deep Sea Assault amounted to more than tens of thousands of tons.

Chen Xing frowned slightly; since the surge was ineffective, it was time for a direct physical confrontation.

“Taotie, Vortex of Demise.”

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xing’s eyes.

The water flow stopped, and Taotie’s form gradually condensed back to shape. The Heaven-sent Ape’s punch, with unrelenting momentum, hammered on Taotie’s face, forcing it to stagger back several steps.

But the next second, Taotie opened its gaping maw.

A powerful suction emerged from the profound orifice, and the Heaven-sent Ape, caught off guard, was sucked into its mouth.

An invisible force of imprisonment sealed the Heaven-sent Ape inside the giant maw.

At the same time, a terrifying power of annihilation and strangulation took form.

The robust body of the Heaven-sent Ape didn’t last long, its body burst in layers, flesh collapsing, and bones eerily exposed.

“Wait, I give up! I won’t fight you for it!” Lin Zihan’s heart lurched, suddenly feeling the life force of his Beast Taming growing weaker, and he hastily begged for mercy.

“Taotie,” Chen Xing’s voice came calmly.

Only then did Taotie stop the Vortex of Demise, spitting out a lump of indistinguishable flesh.

The “human-shaped” creature lying on the ground barely retained some resemblance to the Heaven-sent Ape, with completely abraded skin and muscles devoured beyond counting, leaving a body surface pocked with surviving viscera and stark white bones, looking extremely tragic.

Lin Beicang’s face changed drastically, “What a vicious attack!”

Lin Zihan stared blankly at his Beast Taming, sensing its life force flickering like a candle in the wind.

He felt that if he had spoken a little slower, his Beast Taming would have been gone.

Lin Beicang hurried to the side of the Heaven-sent Ape and, seeing it with barely a breath left, didn’t dare to delay and immediately summoned his own Beast Taming, one of which was a transcendence-level Healing Beast Taming.

As the healing skills descended upon the Heaven-sent Ape, its wounds began to slowly mend, but the speed of recovery was incredibly sluggish, as though a bone-burrowing parasitic force was thwarting the healing of its wounds.

Seeing this, Lin Beicang felt even more shocked; the destructive power had surpassed the hundred-energy-level scope, what was the background of this Taotie Beast Taming? He turned to look at Chen Xing, his face somber, and said coldly, “So young, yet so ruthless; is this how your teacher instructs you?”

Chen Xing replied regretfully, “Mr. Lin, my mentor taught me to give my all against every opponent.

But Lin classmate is too weak, I was afraid that my Beast Taming, going all out, might accidentally kill his Beast Taming.

I tried to control my Beast Taming not to strike too hard, but I didn’t expect that Lin senior’s Beast Taming would be even weaker than I thought.”

Chen Xing paused, then continued, “If there’s another chance to spar with Lin senior, I will definitely give it my all and not hold back. Mr. Lin, what do you think about that?”

Lin Zihan was numb, another time? The next time I see you, I’m running. Anyone who wants to fight this monster can go ahead.

Lin Beicang’s face turned ashen.

He wanted to speak.

Suddenly, Dean Lin interjected, “Zihan was outmatched, and Chen classmate stopped his Beast Taming the moment he conceded. Beicang, do not let it be said that you cannot accept a loss.”

Lin Beicang took a deep breath, his face returning to normal, “I understand, I was too impulsive just now.”
