Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 312: Chapter 189: Geomagnetic Bee

A Ranking Competition!?

’My opponent is actually in the middle of his Ranking Competition!’

’I wonder which opponent I am for him.’

’Hmph, he’s looking down on me!’

Bo Xun prepared to use the Blast Rule he had mastered to detonate his remaining half-gelatinous body.

By sacrificing his Pupil Pattern to detonate his body, even in its tattered state, he could still raze everything within a two-mile radius.

If he self-destructed first, he would still be declared the loser.

But Bo Xun wanted to leave a deep impression on his opponent, not be underestimated.

Just then, Bo Xun suddenly discovered a toxin spreading through his body, continuously eroding it from within.

This toxin contained an extremely faint Power of Rules.

Although this Power of Rules was faint, it was remarkably complete—it could even erode the power of the Blast Rule he had mastered.

Before he could sacrifice his Pupil Pattern to self-destruct, Bo Xun lost consciousness completely.

Standing on the Soul Fighting Platform, Bo Xun replayed the battle in his mind.

Just like Du Ren, he had been hard-controlled on the Soul Fighting Platform for nearly three full minutes.

Bo Xun checked his opponent’s information and discovered that the person he had just fought was named Zhong Yi.

His match count and battle points were both zero.

This confirmed what he had just heard: this guy named Zhong Yi was indeed in his Ranking Competition.

Bo Xun first followed Zhong Yi, then grit his teeth and sent him a friend request.

As he sent the friend request, the peerlessly beautiful face of Hong Ji in her red dress couldn’t help but appear in his mind.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yi had exhausted his Soul Power after fighting two consecutive Soul of Battle duels.

Zhong Yi disconnected from the Virtual Source Network and opened his eyes in the real world.

Zhong Yi now had a rough understanding of the strength of the prodigies from other worlds.

Zhong Yi thought to himself, ’I don’t know if the prodigies from other factions are too weak, or if Hong Ji is just too strong.’

Under the full force of Hong Ji’s barrage, even Fantasy Tier Guardian Beasts with weaker defenses would likely be severely injured.

Through these two duels, Zhong Yi discovered his own shortcoming.

Because he could continuously form Contracts with Guardian Beasts via the Soul Taming Seed, Zhong Yi had always focused on all-around development.

Right now, his weakest point was defense!

Zhong Yi prepared to find a Defensive Guardian Beast to form a Contract with.

Zhong Yi wasn’t familiar with the Guardian Beasts and materials from outside the Guardian Beast World, but he had created many of the Guardian Beasts within the Guardian Beast World in his past life.

Zhong Yi thought of a Guardian Beast called the Geomagnetic Bee.

Ordinarily, the Geomagnetic Bee was not a Defense Type Guardian Beast, but rather a powerful offense type.

After a Geomagnetic Bee matured, it would grow a long Tail Needle.

The Tail Needle gathered Magnetic Force and could launch highly offensive Geomagnetic Missiles.

Because they possessed an offense-oriented Basic Skill like Geomagnetic Missile, many Guardian Beast Masters compatible with bee-type Guardian Beasts would choose to form a Contract with a Geomagnetic Bee.

However, some Geomagnetic Bees did not grow a Tail Needle during their development.

These types of Geomagnetic Bees were generally treated as useless and disposed of!

Besides using their Tail Needles to form Geomagnetic Missiles for attacking enemies, Geomagnetic Bees also used them to mate with each other.

Unlike other bee-type Guardian Beasts, their colonies do not have a ruling king or queen.

Every adult Geomagnetic Bee had the ability to mate and reproduce.

The tips of their tails would clash like a fencing match, making the mating process a game of strategy.

The winner could use its Tail Needle to implant Insect Eggs into the weaker Geomagnetic Bee’s body.

While incubating, the Insect Eggs would feed on the body of the host Geomagnetic Bee.

After the Insect Eggs grew into larvae and left the body, the host Geomagnetic Bee wouldn’t die, but it would struggle to ever increase its strength for the rest of its life.

This peculiar method of reproduction was not only unique among bee-type Guardian Beasts, but also rare among all Insect Guardian Beasts.

As for the Geomagnetic Bees that failed to grow a Tail Needle, they didn’t even have the ability to reproduce.

The ones that did have a Tail Needle were completely unwilling to mate with those that didn’t.

The breeding bases that raised Geomagnetic Bees disliked these needle-less ones the most.

But this was exactly the type of Geomagnetic Bee Zhong Yi was looking for!

Among these Geomagnetic Bees that failed to grow a Tail Needle, a very small portion could form a magnetic crystal on their underbelly.

Furthermore, they would grow two extra pairs of short, thick antennae on their heads.

A Geomagnetic Bee like this had the potential for an Evolution into a Defensive Guardian Beast!

What Zhong Yi needed wasn’t something to boost his other Guardian Beasts’ Defense Ability in battle.

He needed to augment his own personal defenses as easily as moving his own limbs.

In Zhong Yi’s eyes, this Geomagnetic Bee that could mutate into a Defensive Guardian Beast was the perfect fit for him.

During the breeding process, any Geomagnetic Bee found to have not grown a Tail Needle on its abdomen would be culled immediately.

No one would ever pay attention to which of the needle-less bees might form a magnetic crystal on its underbelly or grow two extra pairs of antennae on its head.

A Geomagnetic Bee like that could likely only be found at a breeding facility.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yi picked up his phone, dialed Fu Hongning, the president of the Zhenchong Commerce Association, and arranged to meet him at the association’s headquarters.

At this time, Qin Ruyue was still out hunting a Mythical Tier Bizarre and had not yet returned.

When Zhong Yi went out, his bodyguard, Sun Yushi, stayed by his side.

From the moment he was assigned to be Zhong Yi’s bodyguard, Sun Yushi had considered himself extremely lucky.
