Chapter 307: Chapter 303: Challenging Bai Heguang!
Dusk.
Bai Heguang walked into the Nile City Association, and upon seeing Bai Qi coming towards him, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Bai Qi, how come you’re here?”
“Teacher?”
Hearing Bai Heguang’s voice, Bai Qi immediately began looking around and seeing Bai Heguang’s somewhat unhappy expression, he quickly pointed to Luo Xiang standing beside him without hesitation.
“Instructor Luo brought me here.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Heguang turned to look at Luo Xiang, who merely shrugged and said, “You little rascal, you sold me out this quickly. Don’t expect any favors from me in the future.”
“Cough cough, I was wrong, Instructor.”
Bai Qi immediately admitted his mistake, and at this moment, Bai Heguang noticed the change in Bai Qi’s level. His expression relaxed a bit and said, “A Fifth-stage Beastmaster, at least you can barely enter the Sun Secret Realm.”
“The Sun Secret Realm?”
Bai Qi scratched his head in confusion upon hearing this. Wasn’t it supposed to be the secret realm of a mythological insect creature? How did the sun come into the picture?
“From the current information we have, this secret realm may be the Inheritance Secret Realm of the Sun Beetle. The Sun Beetle, in the past, was worshipped as a sun god, hence the external name of this secret realm is the Sun Secret Realm.”
Bai Heguang patiently explained, “Your main pet belongs to the Undead Department, and the environment within the Sun Secret Realm may suppress it. So, Bai Qi, you better be prepared to fight with your other pets.”
“I understand, thank you for the reminder, teacher.”
Bai Qi nodded. Although Alpha’s Death Force Field could counteract the suppressing effects of positive energy forces such as Holy Light on its own undead qualities, it still had some influence to some degree.
However, he wasn’t too concerned. Among his five pets, besides the recently contracted Bug Grass that had not yet formed an effective force, the combat prowess of the other pets was still acceptable.
“Right, it’s been a while since I’ve checked your homework. Come with me to the battlefield to let me see your current combat strength.”
Bai Heguang looked at Bai Qi a few times, then suddenly spoke. Without waiting for Bai Qi’s response, he headed straight for the battlefield.
“Can, can I refuse…”
Watching the distant back of Bai Heguang, Bai Qi couldn’t help but sigh. Although there was only one grade difference between the legend and the master, the gap between pets was huge.
The gap between a king and an emperor was probably more than ten times the gap between a servant and a king.
There’s really no hope in this fight…
“Hahaha… Kid, you didn’t look like this when you challenged me.”
Luo Xiang gloated at Bai Qi, “You better be honest and go. There are quite a lot of benefits to fighting with a legendary creature.”
“Alright.”
Bai Qi sighed helplessly, then dragged his heavy steps towards the battlefield.
Despite appearing rather deserted, the Nile City Association had all the facilities one could need, and Bai Heguang brought Bai Qi to a room similar to the one they used for the battle against Luo Xiang.
Upon entering the battlefield, Bai Heguang set the power of the space barrier to its highest level, then summoned his pet.
But it wasn’t Jiuyou Darkbird, his main pet that was almost always with him, but the Blood Scythe Wraith that had previously guarded them in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest.
“Err, teacher, do you have a pet with a slightly lower level? Like, a king-level one perhaps.”
He had once seen with his own eyes the Blood Scythe Wraith easily harvest the soul of a Six-stage fierce beast that had tried to sneak-attack them in the Thousand Cliff Stone Forest. Now, seeing that the opponent Bai Heguang had brought to test him was the Blood Scythe Wraith, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
“I have King-level pets, but your Death Force Field is too special, pets of the same level wouldn’t be able to test your pet’s limits.”
Bai Heguang said indifferently, “Moreover, there might be legendary creatures in the inheritance secret realm of mythical creatures. It would be beneficial for you to adapt in advance.”
“I see, thank you, teacher.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi suddenly realized. Though normally, inheritance secret realms are not very dangerous, but this was not an inheritance for Beastmasters, but for mythical creatures. God knows what peculiar habits these mythical creatures had, it would indeed be good to have the teacher help him warm up a bit in advance.
“However, the Blood Scythe Wraith is after all a legendary creature, you can let your pets attack it together.”
Bai Heguang paused, then said, “The Blood Scythe Wraith will not attack on its own but will release the aura of a legendary creature. Let’s see what you can do.”
We can gang up?
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. Although he still couldn’t win, the effect of many against one was definitely different.
With that in mind, Bai Qi immediately summoned all five pets at once, and the five pets immediately noticed the Blood Scythe Wraith on the opposite side.
Click-click?
(Boss, are we going to fight it?)
As the battle maniac of the team, Alpha was the first to perceive the unusual atmosphere around them. There was no timidity, but rather an excited air.
Awooo!
(We’re fighting this guy? I suddenly feel a bit unwell, can I ask for leave?)
Beta’s vertical pupil scanned the Blood Scythe Wraith and immediately sensed his powerful soul, which was somewhat excessive. He started thinking about running away.
Actually, without using spirit power, one could tell just from the form of the Blood Scythe Wraith that it would not be easy to provoke, not to mention Beta had seen it in action before.
“Can’t you be less cowardly?”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but punch Beta, saying, “And you’re not the only one to go up, why panic?”
Woof…
(But, I’m still very scared…)
Ever since Beta’s Minds Eye skill upgraded to Insight into Everything, his perception had been greatly enhanced, so he felt very clearly the suppression from the Blood Scythe Wraith’s soul.
This suppression was like the bloodline suppression of a high-level race against a lower-level race, except one was from the bloodline and the other was from the soul.
“So, okay, you don’t have to fight, let Schuck do it, Schuck, prepare to take over the body.”
“With utmost pleasure.”
Seeing Bai Qi and Schuck so readily reach an agreement, Beta was instantly roused.
A dog could be killed, but not humiliated. If they wanted to take control of his body, they might as well kill him!
Gurgle gurgle.
(Delta, what are they talking about?)
Bloob bloob.
(I don’t know, probably preparing for battle.)
Watching the one-man double-dog conversation, Gamma was completely bewildered. After responding a sentence, Delta’s attention was back on the Blood Scythe Wraith.
I wonder if he could evolve into a soul form too?
“Um, should I join in this kind of fight too?”
The insect grass looked nervously at the Blood Scythe Wraith across from him, shivering involuntarily.
“Get used to it first, it might be useful in the future.”
Bai Qi patted the insect grass and then looked at Bai Heguang, “Teacher, I’m ready.”
Bai Heguang nodded, exchanging a glance with the Blood Scythe Wraith, “Then let’s begin.”
As soon as the words fell, a dark red aura swirled out from the Blood Scythe Wraith’s body, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a scene of carnage.
Under the wash of this aura, Alpha, Schuck and the others instantly felt an unprecedented pressure, their souls and bodies unconsciously trembling.
Woof!!!
Seeing this scene, Beta let out a long howl immediately. The Demon Subduing Mantra turned into strands of golden power and infiltrated into the souls of Alpha and other pets. The pressure from the Blood Scythe Wraith was suddenly reduced.
At the same time, Gamma switched to the Holy Light State and quickly initiated the Holy Shock, dispersing the blood fog around them.
Without the interference of the blood fog, the condition of the five pets instantly recovered to a great extent, while Alpha took the lead in launching an attack on the Blood Scythe Wraith. A flash of demonic red flames in his eye sockets and the Blood Scythe Wraith was immediately enveloped in the Undying Flame.
Although it was a legendary creature, the Blood Scythe Wraith was still a creature of the Soul Race. The Undying Flame, which came from the Phoenix, also had considerable killing power.
It was just that the Blood Scythe Wraith’s body was also shrouded in blood fog. As soon as the Undying Flame hit its body, that part of the blood fog was peeled off. However, the Blood Scythe Wraith did not abandon it, but used the blood fog to envelope the Undying Flame and held it in front of itself.
“Flame of the Phoenix? Feels a bit similar to Jiuyou’s.”
The Blood Scythe Wraith seemed to be quite interested in the Undying Flame, but before it could look for long, Alpha, wielding a flame great sword, fell from the sky and slashed at the Blood Scythe Wraith.
Since the Blood Scythe Wraith would peel off the Undying Flame, it must be somewhat fearful, so Alpha directly chose the flame great sword as his main offensive method. On the other hand, his usually common Sword of Death was switched to his left hand by Alpha, as a sideline defense.
Ding!
The Blood Scythe Wraith lifted its huge scythe to block the flame greatsword, looking curiously at the demonic red flame flowing inside the flame greatsword, “You can even absorb the flame of the phoenix, as an undead creature, you really are a freak.”
Crackle crackle.
Seeing the Blood Scythe Wraith easily blocking his attack, Alpha immediately chose to retreat. He directly entered the Three Heads and Six Arms mode — holding long swords in some hands, and turning others into bone blades. He once again launched a violent attack on the Blood Scythe Wraith.
Although he had not yet managed to ascend to the Fifth Stage, after Bai Qi had enhanced, Alpha’s attributes also broke through their original shackles, and his speed had reached a terrifying degree.
But even so, he still could not break through the defense of the Blood Scythe Wraith’s huge scythe.
“Hee hee …… Good speed, but it’s not enough.”
The Blood Scythe Wraith swung its huge scythe while letting out a gloomy laugh, “Master, can’t I really make a move?”
“No.”
Bai Heguang shook his head, looking at Bai Qi, “So, is this the only cooperation among your pets?”
Bai Qi shuddered, and the several pets also received instructions, joining the battle together.
The first to move was actually the husky. As the Etherium Liquid Gold flowed, the husky quickly transformed into a double-headed werewolf state, but was not in a hurry to attack. Gamma, who had been prepared at the side for a long time, skillfully wrapped around the double-headed werewolf and then activated Diamond Body.
Combined skill, Diamond Double Wolf!
