Chapter 141: Chapter 140: The Emergence of the Beast Soul Warrior

Translator: 549690339

Shortly after Zhou Yan, Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, a group of Four Stage Beast Masters showed up.

These individuals were older and of higher level in this round of training, each with some knowledge of runes.

However, it was clear they were still inferior to Bai Qi and Lu Qing. They bore visible signs of injuries, clearly from mistakes made in their attempts to break the runes.

What surprised Bai Qi was that Gu Shan emerged just a few minutes after Xiao Yuan and his cohorts.

Gu Shan, who was usually quiet and unassuming, turned out to be quite competent in various aspects, suggesting he simply preferred to keep his abilities hidden.

“So it’s true, you did leave the chamber before me.”

Seeing Bai Qi had come out before him, Xiao Yuan gave a light smile, without a hint of surprise. On the other hand, Li Mu appeared increasingly serious.

He lost again…

As time passed, many more left the cube-shaped chamber. One by one, they left in a more miserable state than those who came before. By the end of the hour, those forcefully ejected from the chamber virtually resembled refugees returning from flight.

And Bai Qiucha was one of them.

“Pfft… Cha, how did you end up like this?”

Observing the distressed Bai Qiucha, who was not his graceful self at all, Bai Qi couldn’t help but burst into laughter. But seeing Bai Qiucha starting to become indignant, Bai Qi forced himself to stop.

However, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but break into uproarious laughter upon recognizing Bai Qiucha, not caring about the unusual stares from those around him.

“Hahaha… Cha, so you do have bad days, hahaha…”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha turned a cold shoulder and ignored everyone.

From a young age, he had pretty much led the pack in both practical and theoretical aspects, with the exception of runes. Despite dedicating some time to learning runes recently, it seemed he just didn’t have the talent for it. In the end, he was forcefully expelled.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t face failure. He could handle being laughed at by Bai Qi and the others. But being ridiculed by Zhou Yan, the underachiever, was a real blow to his pride.

“But it’s time. Why hasn’t Instructor Luo announced the rules for the next round?”

After everyone had emerged, Xiao Yuan began to sense something was off.

If Luo Xiang’s urgent summon was a test of their control over runes, to motivate them, then their job here was done, and they should have been teleported away.

Keeping them here obviously meant there were other arrangements. But Luo Xiang’s continuing silence was making Xiao Yuan nervous.

“He wouldn’t have forgotten us while gallivanting somewhere else, would he?”

Zhou Yan tilted his head in thought, expressing his opinion which was surprisingly gaining popularity among the others.

Surveying his surroundings, Bai Qi remarked, “I don’t think so, but my gut tells me he’s definitely up to something.”

Just as he finished speaking, a touch of red appeared in the originally pure- white space, quickly spreading and dyed the entire space red.

Just as expected.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Bai Qi had a feeling this was going to happen. Just as he was about to say something, a slit suddenly broke open in the red dome above. Streams of blood seeped out.

Damn it! First an Alternate Dimension Killing Array, now a Sword God Territory?

“This feeling… it’s not like a normal secret realm mechanism. It’s more like a Beast Soul Warrior?”

Just as Bai Qi was rolling his eyes, Xiao Yuan and the others turned pale. Other Beast Masters also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly summoned their beasts.

“Beast Soul Warrior? Really?”

Bai Qi became serious on hearing Xiao Yuan’s words.

Even though it had been quiet for nearly twenty years, the Federation never let down its guard against the Ferocious Beast Tribe, mankind’s greatest enemy. Beast Soul Warriors always led the tribe’s assaults.

Beast Soul Warriors were originally humans, only they were different from the humans living in the Federation. They had either been abducted or raised by ferocious beasts.

Their purpose, of course, was to become nourishment for higher-ranking races.

Like the covenants between Federation Beast Masters and their beasts, higher beings from the tribe also formed parasitic covenants with certain humans.

Through these parasitic covenants, ferocious beasts could draw on the soul’s energy of these humans, strengthening themselves. Any human who couldn’t meet their demand would have his soul devoured directly.

Yet, those who survived this brutal symbiosis would have their souls enhanced, gradually becoming what Xiao Yuan and others referred to as Beast Soul Warriors.

Meanwhile, because their souls had been assimilated by ferocious beasts, these Beast Soul Warriors could obtain some abilities of ferocious beasts. They could even use spirit power to manifest a beast soul during battles, something they liked to call Martial Souls.

However, with the expanding range of the Snare in recent years, Beast Soul Warriors should have had a hard time infiltrating the Federation, let alone here at the headquarters of the Beast Master Association.

But this smells like something Luo Xiang has cooked up…

Even though Bai Qi held suspicions, he didn’t lower his guard. He summoned Alpha, and while the rest of the trainees summoned their pets, the blood started to coalesce into a bloodthirsty demon.

“Hehehe… I didn’t expect such a great catch from just invading a secret realm. Human young Beast Masters. If I capture them and bring them back, the Blood Nightmare Demon would definitely reward me greatly!”

The bloodthirsty demon swept the young Beast Masters below with its eyes, its gaze sharpening. If it could, it would have swallowed Bai Qi and the others whole right away.

“Blood Nightmare Demon? It seems like it’s really a Beast Soul Warrior.”

Upon hearing the words of the demon, Bai Qiucha’s face suddenly changed, it was now clear where this anomaly was coming from.

As the Legendary Son, his knowledge of the Ferocious Beast Tribe was definitely more than others, and the Blood Nightmare Demon was a legendary undead creature within the Ferocious Beast Tribe itself.

“Clear now? That’s all we need!”

Zhou Yan, upon hearing Bai’s words, was not the least bit scared. She immediately entered the state of soul-infusion, then without waiting for Bai Qiucha and others to stop her, she charged straight towards the demon.

“What a fearsome little girl, it’s a pity I’m not physical right now, I can’t fight you.”

The wicked ghost smirked and did not evade Zhou Yan at all, simply allowing Zhou Yan to pierce him with her spear before disappearing herself.

“This guy, always so reckless.”

Xiao Yuan sighed without thinking, just as he was about to warn the others to be cautious, a large blood-red portal appeared under everyone’s feet. The students were caught off guard and plunged into it one-by-one.

“Alpha, protect me.”

Seeing the bloody portal opening under his feet, Bai Qi immediately had Alpha return to his side for protection, then he fell straight down without hesitation. Xiao Yuan and the others seemed to understand that attacking this demon was useless, and all made the same choice.

In an instant, the lively space was left with only the blood-colored demon.

“Hehehe…”

After a period of freefall, Alpha managed to land while holding onto Bai Qi. Bai Qi immediately summoned Husky and Gamma.

Now that Bai Qiucha had confirmed that a Beast Soul Warrior had caused all this, he naturally prepared himself fully. In this unfamiliar environment, it wasn’t enough to rely on just a strong offense.

“Schuck Beta, be on alert for our surroundings. Gamma, remember to protect me. Alpha, attack whoever we encounter!”

Bai Qi gave orders to his three pets, then held Gamma in his arms. The three pets were all focused and prepared for battle.

Gluck Gluck!

(“Boss, don’t worry. I won’t let any enemies go.”)

Woof Woof!

(“So, can I finally unleash my artistic talents freely?”)

Crunch Crunch!

(“I’ll devour them all!”)

Though this was their first time facing a Beast Soul Warrior, they could tell from their master’s composure that this fight was entirely different from the previous ones, which made them particularly serious.

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and began to check their surroundings.

The environment here was similar to the cubic room they were in before, rectangular and much larger. All six sides were colored blood-red, proving that the Blood Nightmare Demon was behind all this.

“Is he planning to split us up and take each one of us out? It feels like an overkill.”

Bai Qi slightly furrowed his brows, feeling that something was off about this unexpected event. All of a sudden, the blood-red wall opened up with a large hole. A boy with sunken eye sockets and skeletal-like build slowly came out from the hole.

“A Third Stage Beast Master? He is underestimating me.”

A flash of annoyance passed through the boy’s eyes, he then spoke in a hoarse voice to Bai Qi, “Hey, I advise you to surrender now, I can make it a little easier for you.”

“So this is a Beast Soul Warrior? Aside from looking a little frail, there’s no difference between him and normal people.”

Bai Qi looked the boy up and down with curiosity. Not finding anything unusual, a hint of disappointment showed on his face.

He had expected Beast Soul Warriors to have extraordinary power, or even exude demonic charisma. But this boy merely looked like he was high on drugs.

He had been excited at the thought of Beast Soul Warriors being able to summon Martial Souls. But seeing this, it didn’t seem worth it, it might ruin his good looks.

“Was I…disdained?”

The boy apparently misunderstood Bai Qi’s thoughts. He was already annoyed and now his killing intent boiled up. With a thought, a dragon-shaped soul body slowly crawled out from his body.

“I was going to give you a chance, but now, feed my Ghost Dragon!”

With a cold snort, the Ghost Dragon behind the boy flapped its wings. It noiselessly appeared behind Bai Qi and bit towards him.

What the heck, he’s attacking without warning!

Are all Beast Soul Warriors so devoid of martial principles?

Bai Qi ungracefully rolled away, narrowly avoiding the Ghost Dragon’s surprise attack. Alpha also instantly joined in, slashing at the Ghost Dragon.

“It’s useless, physicalattackscan’t hurt our martial souls.”

The boy sneered and puckered his lips, just as he was about to teach Bai Qi a lesson. Suddenly, he heard the Ghost Dragon wail in pain, and a deep wound appeared on its mouth.

“This is a martial soul? There’s no difference between it and the undead…”
