When the Royal Griffin was clawed to death, all the noise suddenly froze.
Countless students widened their eyes, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
Xiao Chen, who owned the Royal Griffin and ranked among the top ten in the third grade, a renowned Beast Taming prodigy in the academy, was actually brutally killed by this Three-tailed Red Fox...
No one uttered another word; instead, they watched in stunned silence the Three-tailed Mo Xie that stood proudly bathed in flames.
Its flamboyant fox tails, coiling like furious dragons, flickered with Golden Flame, exuding an aura as terrifying as a Demon King’s.
Many Pet Beasts, following their Masters, hid behind them, trembling.
A long silence persisted for several breaths before erupting into a clamorous uproar, the voices rising and falling.
"This... oh my god..."
"Chu Yi was hiding his strength so well! Who said he couldn’t form a contract?"
"Did he have to be so ruthless? It was just a Beast Taming duel! With the Royal Griffin dead, aren’t Xiao Chen’s two years of hard work wasted?!"
"Quick, go find the officers, find the mentors!"
Shen Yun’s face was pale. She gradually recovered from her shock, but her expression remained one of utter disbelief.
The Red Fox Chu Yi contracted was a disguise. Its true form was a Three-tailed Red Fox, its rank at least... not inferior to the Royal Griffin!
How could such a massive change happen in just three days!
Could it be... he’s been hiding his strength all along?
No, if that were true, he wouldn’t have been replaced by her brother last month.
This means all these changes occurred within these few days!?
That’s even more impossible!
She would rather believe Chu Yi had been hiding his strength than believe his power had soared in just a few days!
"Stop!" Yuan Qiu couldn’t watch any longer.
It wasn’t unprecedented for a Pet Beast to be killed in a Beast Taming duel, but those who committed such an act were often punished by the academy.
Regardless of the extent of the conflict between Chu Yi and Xiao Chen, Yuan Qiu didn’t want to see Chu Yi continue down this wrong path.
Among the officers present from the military, there were members of the Xiao Family.
However, Chu Yi ignored the devastated Xiao Chen, exchanged a glance with the anxious Yuan Qiu, then looked at Bika, who had assumed an attack posture, and shouted, "Everyone, run! My Pet Beast has activated its Frenzy Technique! It’s gone berserk!"
It lifted its head haughtily, and three magnificent, powerful flames, like dragons breaking through the sky, swept out in all directions!
"Damn, no wonder it’s so savage! It activated a Frenzy-type skill!"
"Big brother Chu Yi is so handsome!"
"No wonder it didn’t hold back and killed the Royal Griffin outright..."
"Just look how strong it is! It’s like it traded its sanity for that power."
"Why are you all spouting so much nonsense? Don’t block the way, run!"
Faced with the sudden onslaught of flames, the crowd scattered in an uproar.
Zhang Feng stood frozen, wanting to save Xiao Chen.
But at this moment, he inexplicably felt a pervasive, stinging pain, a scorching sensation licking at his skin.
Turning his head, he saw the ferociously-faced Three-tailed Mo Xie eyeing him.
Zhang Feng’s scalp tingled, shock swirling in his eyes.
"Petrification Armor!"
The Rock Guard raised both hands, and a Technique Seal landed on Zhang Feng, cloaking him in all-encompassing Rock Armor.
Bika’s figure vanished from his sight. The next second, a violent gust of air hit him from behind, carrying a terrifying scorch.
A sharp gust of wind tore past. A pain shot through Zhang Feng’s back as a crack split open in the Rock Armor, its edges instantly covered with a layer of Ink Fire Crystal, which then ignited.
The violent explosion sent Zhang Feng stumbling. A fox tail then wrapped around his legs, dragging him across the ground.
In that fleeting moment of combat, Zhang Feng’s pupils contracted.
Fast! Too fast! This was an absolute suppression of strength. His Rock Guard was like a snail in comparison, unable to even dream of matching the opponent’s speed.
Chu Yi squinted, about to pursue Shen Yun, when a delicate, graceful figure flickered past, like the moon embraced, a faint fragrance wafting over.
"Senior, let’s retreat first. Wait for the mentors to arrive and suppress your out-of-control Pet Beast," Chen Xi said, clinging to Chu Yi’s arm, looking as pitiful as a startled fawn.
Experiencing the ’snowy overlay of the mountains’ once more, Chu Yi remained expressionless. He glanced in the direction Shen Yun had fled, a thought flashing through his mind.
A fox tail, like a rampaging dragon stirring the heavens, dragged a magnificent trail of fire as it chased after Shen Yun.
An ink-colored figure flashed with the light of a blade, cleaving through the flames and blocking the attack.
"Chu Yi, can’t you control it?" Yuan Qiu, commanding her Dark Night Mantis, shielded Shen Yun and the other students, shouting at Chu Yi.
Shen Yun, fleeing for her life, was so terrified she nearly lost her soul. That attack had been deliberately aimed at her.
Does Chu Yi want to kill her?!
Looking at the calm Chu Yi, who seemed like a Demon King, she was terrified into running even faster.
However, Bika acted with brazen abandon, and its three magnificent flames blazed up once more.
Its furious speed actually whipped up a hurricane along its path. Zhang Feng, still being dragged by a fox tail, was in a miserable state. His head repeatedly slammed against the ground, and his body snapped tree branches as he was hauled along like a dead dog, eventually fainting on the spot.
"Dark Night Mantis, use [Light of Silence]!" Yuan Qiu’s expression darkened; this meant she had to intervene personally.
The massive, ink-colored mantis’s twin blades flashed, slashing out a cross-shaped beam of black light.
An arc of light descended, and the mantis’s body suddenly froze, stiff and motionless.
A crimson fox shadow slammed into the ink-colored mantis, sending it flying. The fox shadow then streaked past Yuan Qiu, singeing a few strands of her hair, and shot directly towards the despairing Shen Yun.
In that critical moment, she only had time to raise her left arm to block. The fox shadow pierced through it, exploding into a crimson mist!
The fox shadow’s momentum didn’t decrease; it pressed lightly against Shen Yun’s flat chest, causing it to cave inwards.
Her flat chest caved in, forming a deep depression.
A tragic scream tore through the air.
Blood gushed from Shen Yun’s left arm, and she violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her entire body was sent flying as if by a heavy blow, crashing onto the lawn where Pet Beasts usually played, carving a trench over twenty meters long.
A powerful voice, like a clap of thunder, boomed out. A group of officers rushed in, utterly shocked by the scene.
A three-tailed fox, wreathed in flames, stood with an air of looking down on the world, giving the group of officers a provocative glance.
One of its tails still dragged a bruised and swollen student as a hostage.
The officers immediately summoned their Pet Beasts.
Six War General-level Pet Beasts appeared simultaneously, surrounding the Three-tailed Red Fox. They bared their teeth, trying to overwhelm it with their imposing presence.
But Bika was no longer a novice.
Back then, it had faced Ji Wu’s eight War General-level Pet Beasts without a shred of fear, let alone a mere six.
Its aura flared to its fullest. The magnificent flames reignited, sweeping out like furious dragons, carrying an overwhelmingly destructive will that completely crushed the imposing presence of the officers’ six Pet Beasts!
"This... What kind of Pet Beast is this?"
