Beastmaster: I am a true genius

"Game start!"

Just like the last game, at the start, roses were 100%, 100% full, covering the sky and earth in the blink of an eye, casting a cool shade on the huge arena and completely isolating the heat.

The gorgeous flowers swayed in unison, like well-trained soldiers, filled with a solemn and murderous aura.

At the same time, in the center of the ring, green flames rose from the body of the aqua-blue mermaid, and in an instant, the air around it began to twist.

"Oh!"

The huge tail swung towards the ground, and the blue afterimage carried a faint green light, like a cannonball rushing towards the pink sea of ​​flowers, making a sharp sound of breaking wind.

The crowd outside the venue started to make a noise. They didn't expect the mermaid to take the initiative to attack. Wasn't this following in the footsteps of the Silver-Winged Mantis?

No one expected that the Rose Bell would withdraw its attack instantly. The pink petals that were originally surrounding it suddenly retracted, and the sky returned to its original color, as if it could not avoid it!

'You're too anxious'

Kitsune Yashichi commented in his heart.

She did not give any orders because Perfect was in a rare state of high spirits and had developed an interest in hunting the opponents all over the sky.

[The so-called competition is a simulated hunting game. You can beat the food half to death, but you have to catch it alive.]

This is how she explained it to Perfect before, because it was easier to understand. She also explained to it the idea of ​​hunting Rose Bell - sit back and wait, pretending to be weak.

Unfortunately, Wanmei couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and acted rashly, which frightened Rose Bell.

This time...

But it's not so easy to catch.

Kitsune Shichi raised her head, and with her senses covered, she certainly knew where Rose Bell was. The chaotic petals were all bombs made up of skills, and only one flower was real, and that one alone contained violent and turbulent energy.

Comparing energy with slime is undoubtedly foolish. She has no idea how much food she has eaten, all of which has been converted into energy and stored in the body, but even so, she is still hungry.

Above the ring, the blue light that had shot out into the air turned into a waterfall, covered in sparks and swept towards Rose Bell.

Under the scorching sun, the water surface sparkles.

But this was even slower. All the rose petals in the sky were scared away and only a small one was left. The thumb-sized flower bud folded like a spirit snake, as fast as lightning, making a sharp explosion!

"Bah—!"

It ran away again!

There was a connoisseur in the audience who recognized that the skill Rose Bell used to escape was [Thunder Explosion Flash]. She just used this strongest single-target attack skill to escape...

"That's the Heart-Eroding Flame!"

Alice on the other side of the ring endured it again and again, but finally spoke out loudly because she was almost driven crazy by the boos from the audience. But even so, she did not shout and yell like usual. Instead, for the first time, she felt... fear.

Alice looked into the distance, at Kitsuneya Nana, who had a calm expression on his face, and even yawned with his hand covering his mouth. He had black hair and black eyes, and no signs of energy overflowing.

Alice was trembling all over, and her pride seemed to be shattered. She thought she would be able to defeat Xu Jinbai sooner or later, and thought he was just lucky to be born a few years earlier. But now someone of her age appeared... and she still couldn't beat him...

Only thing missing...

Just one S missing!

Why? Without the support of the family, even the slime can be cultivated to this level...?

Is the gap between her and SSS so big?

On the ring, Rose Bell was hiding, trying to avoid the enemy, but Alice couldn't say the words of admitting defeat.

...heart-eating flames.

That is a poisonous fire that is ignited by mental power. Once it is contaminated, the pain is excruciating.

What's even more terrifying is that this fire is like a maggot attached to the bones. Ordinary healing skills are ineffective and ordinary water skills cannot extinguish it. At the very least, it will cause pain and collapse, and at worst, it will burn out your mental strength.

Putting aside whether one can defeat it or not, no one would dare to approach the Heart-Eroding Flame. Once an accident happens, one will regret it for the rest of his life.

Alice had been with her father for many years, so she naturally recognized this skill. However, how could this super-level skill, which could only be successfully learned by a king-level pet, appear on a mere mid-level pet?

In the air, the water curtain, which had gained nothing, gathered back into the form of a mermaid, with its arms hanging down and slightly clenched into fists, and its long and powerful tail curled, occasionally patting the ground.

The wave-like tail fin kept swaying along with the rose bell in the air, but there was no next step.

"I can't catch it..."

'what to do……'

As the excitement faded, it became sad.

For a moment, the flames grew stronger, and the eagerness to capture the prey even overwhelmed the innate hunger, and was transmitted to the other side of the Soul Bridge without omission.

'...'

Kitsuneya Nana looked at Alice from a distance.

In this game, no one shouted out any skills. It was as silent as if the beastmaster had been lost. It was just a competition between the beast pets.

But is this really beast control?

Analogy to controlling fire, controlling water, controlling swords...

In the immortal cultivation novels she had read in her previous life, even if the immortal sword had a spirit, it was still a person who wielded the sword, rather than letting the immortal sword rush out to fight the enemy by itself.

Kitsuneya Qi's heart moved, as if he had realized something.

At this moment, the Soul Bridge lit up as usual, releasing a faint blue light.

She used to use this bridge to talk to perfection, as if she was talking to it in her mind, and could vaguely feel its moods, such as its hunger and its joy.

And at this moment, she suddenly "stood" on this bridge, just one step away from their souls touching.

Kitsuneya Nana still had her eyes open. She could see everything that was happening on the field and hear the noise from the audience seats across the ring. In her mind, the perfect cry for help was clearer than ever before, ethereal and crisp, as if she had finally pulled out the earplugs that were blocking her ears.

however……

Perfection cannot cover the entire ring, so even if the flames are spread all over, Rose Bell can continue to escape upwards.

Is the other party waiting for them to run out of energy?

Kitsune Shichi stared at the pink color in the sky, which was as fast as lightning and had a tricky trajectory.

The perfect speed is still a long way off.

The only skill it has that can keep up with the opponent is its [Perception], but it cannot use its mental power to control the flames to leave its body, because mental power control is too delicate and too difficult for it.

——What if I were to take control?

This thought suddenly occurred to Kitsuneya Shichi.

She fell silent for a few seconds, and recalled what Xu Fei had just said, as well as the new word:

"Co-regulation".

In fact, this word is not that difficult to understand.

That should be what she meant.

Thinking of this, Kitsune Shichi held his breath, his pupils shrank slightly, and his soul also moved firmly to the other side of the bridge.

……

……

On the other side, since the rose petals retreated, the audience in the venue began to talk.

"Why did the pause button suddenly appear?"

Some people don't know why.

"Didn't Pink Alice say that the fire on the mermaid's body is the Heart Flame? It's a super-level skill. If you don't know, you might think we're watching the StarCraft Cup."

Some people were well-informed and broke down on the spot:

"Fuck, that's awesome..."

"Super class? Really?"

"Come on, I hate you people the most. Not all awesome skills are called super-level..."

"Oh my god! I checked! This flame is not an awakening skill, it is learned through understanding! It needs to be supplemented with the Heart-Eroding Mushroom... Isn't this a legendary thing?!"

"Heart-Eroding Mushroom... There are many secret realms with it. It's a common medicinal herb..."

"If you want me to, I'll jump off the ring and run!"

Others plan for a rainy day and despair about the future:

"Erosion Heart Flame?! How can a junior high school student have this?! She can't play in this year's high school league. She predicts that anyone who sees her will admit defeat. With this thing in hand, who the hell dares to fight her?!"

"There's no way I can play in the college league! This is just a waste of my mental power! I don't know if my Scorpio's [Mental Power Armor] can withstand it after it's upgraded to Grandmaster."

"You said it's a spiritual armor, so isn't that just giving fuel to the Heart-Eroding Flame?"

Some even gave advice and thought they could do it:

"Yes, it can be broken! Don't make the slime sound so mysterious. The Heart-Erosion Flame will just burn you, but it won't kill you if you touch it. You just need to endure the pain and knock it out!"

"Tell me how to knock the slime out. It just cracked the ground. Didn't you see it?"

"Do you really believe that it's slime?"

"No one would believe that it was a slime!"

"Then go and look at the entry list! It has all been verified by the competition center, and you can't just report it randomly!"

"New evolution direction, [Sunshine Slime]."

A group of people were silent, watching the mermaid on the stage with a sinister green fire all over her body. The bright sun in the sky could not make it shine even a little bit, and instead scared Rose Bell so much that she ran away all over the stage...

That was the fairy Rose Bell, the dream pet of many people, smart, clever, and good-natured, and even with the most ordinary evolution direction, it had explosive attack power...

After a while, someone couldn't help it anymore and shouted:

"Aaaaaaaah! How boring! Actually, they are fighting, right? We just can't see it. Otherwise, the mermaid didn't move, so why is Rose Bell running around like crazy?"

"Hey, can you be quiet? Have you ever heard of telepathy? The Rose Bell is locked, of course it's scared!"

Two seats away, someone turned around and mocked him. The person being mocked was about to get angry, but then he looked face to face with a stunningly beautiful woman. He was stunned for a moment and awkwardly took back his curse words.

In the sunlight, the beauty's emerald green cat-like eyes narrowed, making her look unapproachable, but the tails of her eyes had a soft pink glow, which added a touch of charm.

Tempted by the beauty, a young man next to her took out his cell phone with a red face.

"Beauty, may I ask you..."

The friend next to him twisted his thigh hard!

"Pupil!" This must be a pet, brother!

The young man was stunned, then looked carefully and quickly shut up. It was only a short episode. When he turned his gaze to the stage awkwardly, he exclaimed "Ah" in shock.

"Did you attack the wrong person?!"

On the ring, the owner of the Sunshine Slime was burning with green flames, which burned more and more fiercely and tore in the wind.

There was a uniform gasp from the audience.

"hiss……"

Some people reacted quickly and jumped up suddenly!

"What are you still standing there for, healer?!"

"Go and save people!"
