Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 461: Chapter 306: Crushing Momentum

Ah Yu only snapped out of her daze after Han Ning called out to her.

She recalled her Fear Demon Wolf and quickly stepped down from the stone battle stage. Like a child who had done something wrong, she kept her head lowered, not daring to meet Han Ning’s eyes. Her voice was dejected.

"I’m sorry... Lord Han Ning. I couldn’t defeat my opponent."

"It’s not a big deal. It was just an ordinary match."

Han Ning patted her on the shoulder, encouragingly.

"My apologies, esteemed guest, but those are the rules here at Tingchao Pavilion. A match isn’t over until one side has completely lost the ability to fight, or the Beast Master surrenders... and your companion... never said a word. I had no choice but to let the battle continue." The fish-headed referee blinked his milky-white, dead-fish eyes and spread his hands.

"Can’t take a loss, kid? I haven’t even called you out for illegally sending another Soul Beast onto the field to stop the match, and now you have the gall to complain first?" Shui Jin raised an eyebrow as he slowly approached Lin Tianhe. He looked down on him and Han Ning, his tone dripping with arrogance.

"So, are you going to keep fighting or not? If not, then go home. Weren’t you just trying to get a discount on your meal? I can be generous and let you eat for free. But... you’ll have to admit that you lost to us."

A faint smile crossed Shui Jin’s face as he gestured behind him toward the other two figures standing silently in the shadows.

"Heh..."

Hearing Shui Jin’s provocative words, Lin Tianhe, contrary to expectations, calmed down. He took a few steps back to Han Ning’s side, waiting for his friend to take the lead.

After everything they had been through, he quickly analyzed the situation based on the man’s words.

"We..."

Just as Han Ning was about to respond, a strange Spiritual Fluctuation suddenly enveloped the three of them.

He suddenly sensed something and glanced up at a five-story building behind the battle stage. A ghostly glint flashed in his pupils. The invisible Spiritual Piercing Sword expanded, shredding the Spiritual Power that had surrounded them.

「At the same time.」

Inside a lavishly decorated room behind the battle stage.

A low, muffled grunt sounded from behind a tall window.

A flash of eerie blue Starlight, radiating an aura of death, flickered and vanished.

’Such powerful Spiritual Fluctuation...’

A few drops of light blue blood dripped onto the thick, plush carpet, spreading quickly.

"We’ll continue," Han Ning said, retracting his gaze, his tone cold.

His eyes casually swept over to the other end of the battle stage, where the other two Beast Masters were waiting. He saw them looking completely unconcerned, strange smiles playing on their lips, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of weary frustration.

’They aren’t targeting a minor Beast Master like me. They might be targeting the entire population on the Gray Demon Whale...’

’Why? Did I show too much wealth during our trade, attracting the greedy eyes of the Merfolk Sea Alliance? Or do they simply want to gauge our true strength?’

Han Ning’s thoughts raced.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were slowly reaching for his neck, trying to drag him into a bottomless Dark Pool.

’This battle is unavoidable. If we try to get out of it, our next few days in Shuiyun City will likely be very difficult.’

Han Ning sighed to himself and strode onto the stone battle stage.

Considering this was no ordinary "battle for a discount," he didn’t send Fei Lin out. Instead, he chose his most powerful Soul Beast, Yin Yi.

When you don’t know your opponent’s true strength, it’s best to go all out.

"Young Beast Master of the Alien Race, what is your name?"

Hearing the cold voice from in front of him, Han Ning looked up.

A tall female Merfolk was walking up from below the stage, regarding him with a calm gaze.

"Han Ning."

"I am Shui Yun."

"You have Witch Spirit Race blood?" Han Ning’s eyebrow rose. He couldn’t help but ask after noticing the elemental patterns bordering the azure scales on Shui Yun’s cheeks.

But the woman simply pursed her lips, her expression cold, and did not answer him.

Han Ning just smiled, unconcerned. Without waiting for the referee’s announcement, he signaled for Yin Yi to move to the center of the arena.

’Since she’s this confident, her Soul Beast must be at least at the Middle Lord Level.’

Seeing this, a strange smile suddenly broke through the cold mask on Shui Yun’s face.

The air in front of her distorted slightly, and a humanoid Soul Beast constructed purely from deep blue Water Element appeared in the plaza, bringing a great wave with it.

’So it’s a Sunflower Water Elf with B Talent. No wonder she’s so confident.’

The moment he saw the shifting, deep blue Water Element elf, Han Ning understood.

Han Ning had seen a Sunflower Water Elf once before in the Subspace storm zone. It wasn’t an ordinary Pure Elemental Soul Beast; it controlled a special Talent called Kui Water.

Water Element with the Kui Water property possessed a far stronger Purification effect than ordinary Water Element, capable of cleansing all negative influences.

This meant that Yin Yi’s Starlight radiation might not be very effective against it.

’They came prepared...’

Han Ning’s expression grew serious.

’This battle just got interesting.’

"Begin the battle!" the fish-headed referee announced without any preamble.

The words had barely left his mouth when the Sunflower Water Elf instantly transformed into a monstrous wave. A suffocating torrent of Water Element indiscriminately flooded the entire plaza, the dense humidity making Han Ning’s breath catch in his throat.

’Such fast Casting speed. Truly worthy of a pure elemental elf.’

The massive wave, over ten meters high, bore down directly on Yin Yi.

At the Gathering Spirit Stage, it was difficult to judge the destructive Power of a Soul Technique based on its area of effect alone.

This was because a Soul Beast that had mastered the Gathering Spirit skill could freely control the destructive Power of its Soul Techniques within a given range.
