Chapter 44 - The Strange Spirit Beast
Shen Fei waved his arm and suddenly, a thin crack opened in the air!
The blood-red eyes in the air were focused on the ground. A moment later, a fiery red figure emerged from the crack.
A long fiery red bird landed on Shen Fei’s arm. The feathers all over its body burned like fire.
“Do you still plan on sending the Flame Owl to fight me?” Luo Jin mocked Shen Fei.
The Flame Owl was a fire-attribute spirit beast. If it was eaten by the water-attribute Ocean Mirage, it would be dead!
“You still don’t plan to send your Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Shen Fei?” Luo Jin clicked his tongue twice and cast a pitiful look at Shen Fei.
If Shen Fei’s spirit beast were to die, he would probably cry his heart out. As he thought about it, Luo Jin could not help his grin.
“How about this, Shen Fei. If you’re afraid that your Flame Owl will be killed by my Ocean Mirage, then summon your Three-clawed Golden Dragon. After all, it’s a good way to admit that you’re not as good as me.”
“What nonsense.” Shen Fei could not be bothered to argue with Luo Jin.
With a single thought, the Flame Owl beside him understood and flapped its wings, directly rising into the air. Although Shen Fei’s spirit beast was powerful, this battle was still disadvantageous to him.
The principal squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Jin with even more dissatisfaction. One should know that Luo Jin’s spirit beast was not as rare as the Three-clawed Golden Dragon. However, to ordinary spirit beasts, it was a rare and unparalleled existence in this world.
The Ocean Mirage was a rare spirit beast that only appeared in the hot desert regions. He heard that the Luo family had spent a lot of manpower and resources to acquire this spirit beast. However, there was always reward in hard work.
It was also because of this spirit beast that Luo Jin managed to get the Second Echelon title. If he were to face an ordinary fire-attribute spirit beast, the principal was afraid that Luo Jin’s opponent would have died in less than one round.
Even though Shen Fei had previously used this ordinary Flame Owl to kill hordes of spirit beasts, the principal could not help but feel a little anxious. After all, if a spirit beast encountered an attack of the opposing attribute, it would suffer twice the damage.
This was undoubtedly fatal to spirit beasts!
If he was really forced to use the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, the principal would not blame Shen Fei. The rules of this match were unfair, and would, thus, end with an unfair outcome.
Could it be that he, as the judge, had to side with the devil?
“Ocean Mirage, prepare to attack!”
“Hiss, hiss!”
The rotten shell let out a snake-like sound. Many tongue-like tentacles from the shell immediately arced sharply. The base of the tentacles started to expand like a balloon. Countless water particles from the surrounding air poured into the base. Poisonous black mucus mixed with the liquid at the bottom of the tentacles, and they suddenly shot toward the Flame Owl in the air!
The black water that was spat out had an extremely foul smell. There was no need to think; it was definitely a deadly poison!
“Flame Owl, be careful and avoid it!”
“Coo!”
The Flame Owl followed Shen Fei’s instructions and flew through the air. It flapped its wings continuously and twisted its body in the air, pretending that it was difficult to dodge.
It made itself seem like it had no power to resist, when in fact, its body dodged every attack skillfully.
This scene made the principal nervous as he watched from a distance.
‘To Shen Fei, this match must be extremely stressful!’ The principal clenched the armrest of his chair and looked at Shen Fei with worry.
The surrounding audience watched the battle between the two spirit beasts with excitement.
“Well done, keep using this move!”
“Just aim at him! You’ll be able to take it down soon!”
“Keep it up, and don’t stop!”
As expected of the Second Echelon Luo Jin, his Ocean Mirage was also extremely powerful. It only threw a few “kisses” at the accursed bird in the sky, and already the bird was flying crookedly without any control of itself!
However, if they could choose, they would rather the beautiful mermaid blew kisses at them rather than at the stupid bird.
Suddenly, the spirit beast that was busy attacking the Flame Owl seemed to notice something. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the audience around her dreamily. Then, she winked at them.
In an instant, countless audience members had blood spurting out of their noses and onto the stage. The Ocean Mirage’s lips curled into a smile.
The blood they bled out instantly turned into pure water particles taht flew into her hand. The clear water particles were like planets revolving around the tip of the Ocean Mirage’s finger. The audience members wiped the blood from their faces and gazed at her with infatuation.
Out of nowhere, a melodious voice suddenly resonated in the audience’s minds.
‘Everyone, I don’t have enough strength to deal with the other Beastmaster. I need your help. Can you give me more of your blood?’
“As long as you want it, we can give you everything!”
Looking at the Ocean Mirage’s pleading expression, almost everyone in the audience bit their tongues hard. Immediately, a strong metallic smell spread throughout the entire arena.
Shen Fei felt a chill when he watched the audience members vomit their blood out.
The disgusting spirit beast had suddenly extended its tentacles and sprayed a black, poisonous mist at the surrounding spectators. Many of them had grinned, and blood flowed out of their mouths, nostrils, and ears.
They even stretched out their bodies and voluntarily dripped the blood from their faces onto the platform in front of them, allowing the tentacles to devour the liquid.
Some of the audience members even bit their tongues to deliberately squeeze out more blood to feed the tentacles!
It was so disgusting. Shen Fei frowned.
However, it was obvious that the spectators on the stage did not think so.
“Slurp, slurp!”
The tentacles were sucking up the blood like crazy. As more and more blood flowed out, the audience’s faces became paler and paler.
Correspondingly, in the center of the ring, the Ocean Mirage which was still mostly hiding in its shell, was growing bigger and bigger. This strange scene caused goosebumps to rise on Shen Fei’s back.
“Flame Owl, change strategy and prepare to attack!”
Although he usually did not like these people, if this continued, they would probably be sucked dry of their blood and die!
This was just a competition between the two of them to compete for the cultivation room. If this kind of reason were to affect others, then Shen Fei would feel unbearably guilty.
However, just as Shen Fei’s Flame Owl was flying toward the tentacles controlling the audience, Luo Jin raised his head and smiled insidiously.
“Instead of caring about others, Shen Fei, you should care about yourself!”
“Ocean Mirage, now!”
