Chapter 346: Chapter 342: Uninvited Guest

However, just as things were heating up, all the ice towers of the Mechanical Lord suddenly burst open. The biting cold instantly froze the magma and seemed to be spreading towards the Magma Hellhound.

Awoo Awoo!

(You want to ambush this dog? You’re not nearly good enough!)

Beta made a funny face at the Magma Hellhound, planning to taunt it some more. But the Hellhound had been provoked into rage. With an angry roar, a violent, scorching hot wind rushed towards Beta.

This king-level spirit power combined with the attribute of magma posed a great shock to both the spirit power and physical body of any being. Ordinary creatures would probably lose their fighting ability upon encountering such a hot wind.

Awoo?

(Why is this guy not coming over? How can the mines I’ve laid explode?)

Watching the hot wind whistling towards him, Beta sighed in helplessness. However, after seeing the indifferent eyes of Jerry, he reluctantly lifted his head and roared at the Hellhound.

The Demon Subduing Mantra was activated, and the Spirit Storm passed directly over the hot wind, heading straight for the Hellhound.

Sensing the danger, the Hellhound finally moved, trying to avoid the Spirit Storm. But it was a second late in noticing the triumphant expression on Beta’s face and attempting to dodge.

Grrrr!

The Spirit Bomb exploded on its other side. The violent spirit power ruthlessly attacked its soul, and the Hellhound couldn’t help but let out a mournful cry.

“Tsk tsk, his acting skills are getting better and better.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but marvel. Beta had laid the Spirit Bomb in advance yet pretended to be uninterested. Nobody amongst the five pets could probably match this guy when it came to ambushes.

However, the Magma Hellhound was, after all, a king-level creature. Beta’s Spirit Bomb had caused it substantial damage, but it only served to provoke the Hellhound’s savagery.

The Magma Hellhound’s body rapidly swelled, and the magma on its surface began to churn and splatter all around. The entire arena instantly became like the core of a volcano, with no place to stand.

Not only that but beneath the scorching magma, dark figures began to slowly rise. Their dreadful aura made even students of the Undead Department feel a bit uneasy.

“It can summon the undead too?”

Everyone was taken aback upon seeing this, and they suddenly understood the origin of the word ‘Hell’ in ‘Hellhound’.

Eventually, these shadows enveloped the entire arena, and the surrounding magma wrapped around them once more, rapidly repairing their broken bodies and revealing their true forms to everyone.

They were none other than the ferocious beasts slain by the Hellhound.

“My goodness, it even played with Old Shanben’s Flaming Billion Deaths Array. I really need to work harder.”

Seeing the black charred skeletal remains of ferocious beasts heading towards Husky, an envious look couldn’t help but flash across Bai Qi’s eyes.

If Alpha could form pacts at will, then he could also become the man behind…oops, the man backing the Undead King. There would be no need for him to envy others here.

“This is the Hellbone Field of the Magma Hellhound. If you can break it, feel free to do so. But if there is any irreversible damage, I can only say I’m sorry.”

Cao Lie looked at Bai Qi, seemingly wanting to persuade Bai Qi to surrender.

The charred skeletons summoned by the Hellbone Field were not like those previous Magma Dogs, which would become petrified once they lost their heat.

After combining magma with the inherent strength of the bones, these skeletons became even more powerful. Compared to ordinary skeletal creatures, they were significantly stronger.

“Sorry, you’re asking the wrong person. You should be asking him.”

Bai Qi pointed to Husky in the arena. Cao Lie followed his gaze and was shocked to see that Husky had somehow risen to his feet and was holding a peculiarly shaped scepter.

The original mechanical and undead skulls had all disappeared, leaving only a three-eyed skull in the middle. But the colours of the three eyes were slightly different—the left was red, the right was dark gold, and the middle was dazzling gold.

Schuck, Beta, and Jerry all originated from the same consciousness, so it was extremely easy to merge them into a Tri-Unity after activating the Heart of Death God.

“Wanderers lingering outside the land of death, it’s time for you to rest.”

As Jerry’s voice echoed in the arena, his figure disappeared, only to be revealed by the constantly shattering charred skeletons.

But the skeletons within Hellbone Field seemed inexhaustible. No matter how many fell, more would burrow out of the magma to replenish their ranks. The ever-erupting black and red magma further narrowed Jerry’s room for manoeuvre.

Finally, with the ever-thickening magma, Jerry was pushed to a dead end, left with no choice but to withstand the oncoming attack.

Groaaar!

Seeing Husky driven to a corner, the Magma Hellhound finally bared its fangs. Under its control, the widespread magma transformed into a hideous dog’s head, biting towards where Jerry was about to materialize.

Hum hum hum…

Just then, a dark gold balance scale suddenly appeared in the arena. A mysterious wave quickly covered the entire arena, and the charred skeletons, still slowly moving towards Jerry, all ceased their movements.

Not only that, but as the controller of the Hellbone Field, the Magma Hellhound felt as if a voice were questioning it. Its once mighty magma dog’s head could no longer maintain its form and directly dissipated.

“A spiritual king-level force field from the Arctic Ice Wolf? Since when did it acquire this talent?”

The judge, Wen Ruoshui, looked surprised at this and turned to Duanmeng, who seemed unfazed. “When have you ever seen an Arctic Ice Wolf with three heads?”

Wen Ruoshui: “…”

Under the questioning of the Judgment Scale, both the Magma Hellhound and the scorched bones showed various levels of disturbance.

Some seemed to find relief, with the scorched marks on their surfaces slowly vanishing, revealing faint traces of transparent spirits gradually dispersing.

However, the majority of the bones let out unbearable wails. An ominous black aura appeared and enveloped these bones, as if attempting to drag them into the endless abyss of Hell.

The curse of the Judgment Scale finally showed its worth in battle.

Roar, roar, roar!

However, the Magma Hellhound, entangled by the curse, woke from its judgment. Ignoring the ever-diminishing power of its Underworld Bone Field, it threw itself at Jerry with all its might.

Bang!

At that moment, a Dark Gold Bullet punched through the body of the Magma Hellhound. The Hellhound felt a simultaneous tremor in its physical body and spirit before it involuntarily flew backward, collapsed onto the ground, and stopped moving entirely.

On the other side, Jerry slowly lowered his sniper rifle. The Power of Soul gradually dissipated, and Husky returned to its original three-headed giant wolf form.

Mechanical sniper rifle, spirit-locking, enhanced with Soul Blessing.

This strike, combining Husky’s three skills, seemed ordinary. But once it hit, it caused dual damage to both the body and spirit.

“The winner of the match between Yanhuo Dojo and Wuhou Dojo is Wuhou Dojo!”

With a solemn expression, Wen Ruoshui turned to the equally serious Cao Bin’s trio and said, “Honorable masters, do you have any other instructors who wish to participate?”

“There’s no need. None of the Fifth Stage Beastmasters here could withstand that shot.”

Cao Bin shook his head, and turned to look at the grinning Zhuge Xu, “With talents like Bai Qi, Chairman Zhuge, your future certainly looks promising.”

“Hahaha…Bai Qi is indeed the lucky star of our Wuhou Corporation, but the shrine of Wuhou Corporation is too small, so we wouldn’t dare claim exclusive rights to a talent like Bai Qi.”

Zhuge Xu burst out laughing, “In that case, how about we chat someplace else, esteemed owners?”

“Of course, the Yanhuo Corporation and Wuhou Corporation have many projects that we can collaborate on.”

“The Bing Yu Group as well.”

“Hahaha, our Zhanlei Dojo also agrees.”

Seeing the change in attitude of the three men, Zhuge Xu’s smile deepened. He felt increasingly gratified about his past decision to firmly tie Bai Qi to the ship of Wuhou Corporation.

A timely assistance is more valuable than double after the event. Although he didn’t have the foresight of President Qin, who invested in Bai Qi before the latter had shown any potential, it was enough compared to other organizations.

“These youngsters really don’t leave any room for us old folks, do they?”

Watching the scene, Wen Ruoshui couldn’t help but chuckle. He had also tried to win over Bai Qi, but Bai Qi showed no response, so he didn’t persist. Looking back, it seemed to be quite a huge miss.

“Ahem, esteemed dojo owners, the instructor match is finished. Do you wish to continue with the student matches?”

Seeing that Zhuge Xu seemed ready to leave with the three men, Duanmeng suddenly spoke up and reminded them. The smiles on the faces of Cao Bin and the others froze instantly, and they looked at Duanmeng with some resentment.

This Duanmeng really was good at delivering the final blow.

The youngest Fifth Stage Beastmaster in the history of the Federation, who also possessed the talent of a Spirit Master that rendered him invincible among his peers once he’d leveled up. They doubted how many present instructors could be Bai Qiucha’s opponents, let alone students.

“The students must be tired after traveling so far. Let’s skip the student matches.”

Seeing the situation, Zhuge Xu immediately played good cop, and Zhuge Chen seemed ready to leave with the other students.

“I’m sorry; we arrived late. We didn’t miss anything, did we?”

At this moment, a group of Beastmasters dressed in purple walked in from outside the dojo. Looking up at the already settled arena, they laughed, “Looking at the situation, Wuhou Dojo seems to have won?”

“Unexpectedly, Chairman Sima Jing of the Zhonghu Consortium came to our Wuhou Dojo. I’m really surprised.”

Zhuge Xu’s expression darkened. “Guests who have traveled a long way are always welcome. Chairman Sima, would you like to join us for a rest?”

“No rush, I came here this time intending to learn a good lesson from Wuhou Dojo.”

Sima Jing shook his head and looking at Bai Qi on the stage, who hadn’t left yet, said, “This must be Bai Qi. He is the youngest talent in the history of the Federation, a name I’ve heard often.”

“We have so many dedicated fans of yours in the Zhonghu Consortium. I wonder if you could spare some time to give them some pointers?”
