Celestial Beast Taming

After a long moment, Du Ren thought to himself, 'I've run into a prodigy who just entered the Virtual Source Network for his first Soul of Battle duel!'

'This prodigy can suppress me so easily. As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end, he's bound to have an extraordinary future.'

'Come to think of it, it's like I took this future big shot's first time!'

Du Ren followed Zhong Yi, planning to keep an eye on his progress. He wanted to see just how far Zhong Yi would go.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yi appeared in a desert landscape.

The temperature in this desert wasn't as high as the randomly selected arena for Zhong Yi's first Soul of Battle duel.

But the howling wind whipped up grains of sand, making it difficult to keep his eyes open.

The stinging sensation of the sand hitting his skin felt a lot like being pricked by needles.

Fortunately, the wind-blown sand wasn't strong enough to cut Zhong Yi's skin.

A figure stood in the distance. This person clearly disliked the environment as well.

With a wave of his hand, something seemed to scatter around the figure.

Immediately after, the sand in the fierce wind seemed to stick together, forming a cave-like shell of sand that enveloped the figure.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"My name is Bo Xun. I really hate this place. How about we go duel on the side of that small hill?"

"It'll block the wind and sand!"

During his fight with the opponent named Du Ren, Du Ren hadn't said a word the entire time.

But this second opponent he was matched with was surprisingly talkative.

Zhong Yi didn't like the sand-filled environment either, but he had no intention of fighting this opponent on the side of the nearby hill.

They were opponents. Besides, this environment wouldn't affect Hong Ji.

And besides, Zhong Yi could tell that this opponent of his wasn't being honest.

He was verbally suggesting they fight on the other side of the hill, where they'd be sheltered from the sand.

But this guy, Bo Xun, was already using the sand shell condensed around him to quickly slide toward him.

Zhong Yi used All Things Exploration on the opponent before him, who looked no different from an ordinary person except for his blue-green skin.

[Name]: Bo Xun

[Race]: Pupil Jelly Race

[Level]: First Level

[Bloodline]: Half Body Gelation/Three-Striped Pupil

[Contract]: Available for Contract

[Contractual Relationship]: None

[Rule]: Touch Energy Burst (Fragmented)

[Fate Grid]: Blue

Abilities:

[Pupil Pattern Stasis]: Activates the Pupil Patterns and applies Pupil Power by staring at a target. Each Pupil Pattern imposes Gravity equivalent to one-fifth of the user's own strength.

[Contact Explosion]: Upon physical contact, attaches a secreted adhesive to the target. Each explosion of the adhesive triggers a secondary blast using the Energy within the target's body.

[Regenerative Adhesive]: Consumes the user's Energy via the Glue Core to create an adhesive that can reshape the body, allowing for rapid injury recovery.

A single scan told Zhong Yi that his opponent was from the Pupil Jelly Race, with the Bloodlines of Half Body Gelation and Three-Striped Pupil.

This meant his opponent this time had two Bloodline abilities.

Like Du Ren, Bo Xun could still be bound by a Soul Taming Seed Contract and had no existing Contractual Relationship.

Unlike Du Ren, Bo Xun possessed a Power of Rules called Touch Energy Burst.

Although the Blast Rule Bo Xun wielded was fragmented, a Power of Rules was still a Power of Rules, whether fragmented or not. It still touched upon the plane of Rules.

'I just wonder, between the Rule Bo Xun has mastered and the Rules mastered by those Bizarre creatures who devour Order Beasts, which is more complete?'

Du Ren, whom Zhong Yi had just fought, had a green Fate Grid, while Bo Xun's was blue.

A blue Fate Grid already signified decent luck and opportunities.

Bo Xun possessed three abilities. Pupil Pattern Stasis and Regenerative Adhesive were most likely related to his two Bloodlines.

The ability Contact Explosion, on the other hand, was related to the Rule he possessed.

Just as Zhong Yi was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a force descend upon him.

'Bo Xun must have used his Pupil Pattern Stasis ability while closing in.'

'He's activated his Pupil Patterns and applied his Pupil Power to me.'

Bo Xun's Bloodline was at the Three-Striped Pupil level, meaning he had a total of three Pupil Patterns.

The Gravity being applied to him was equivalent to three-fifths of Bo Xun's own strength.

Bo Xun's voice once again reached Zhong Yi's ears, confirming his thoughts.

"Buddy, can you feel my Bloodline Power?"

"Pretty strong, right? Hehe, do you feel like something's weighing you down right now?"

"I..."

Before Bo Xun could finish his sentence, he saw a young woman in a red dress appear in front of his opponent.

And in his opponent's arms, a white cat with four-colored pupils had also appeared.

This made Bo Xun's brow furrow sharply.

'Dammit!'

'My opponent is actually a Guardian Beast Master!'

'Once I use my Bloodline to activate my Pupil Patterns on a target, I can't switch targets for a short period.'

When fighting a Guardian Beast Master, they rely on their contracted Guardian Beasts.

'The Guardian Beast Master themself doesn't have much combat ability!'

'I should have locked my Pupil Patterns onto the Guardian Beast Master's main combat Guardian Beast. That would have been most advantageous for the battle.'

The battle had already begun, and his Bloodline Power was already active. Regret wouldn't solve anything.
