Although his face was completely disfigured by Li Xusheng’s attack, Bai Qi, adhering to a principle of not wasting anything, still gathered the remains of the General Terracotta, intending to study them in detail later on.

“The guardian of the third level suddenly appears on the second, indicating the difficulty of the next level. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared.”

Wang Huai looked around and said, “Xusheng is temporarily unfit for intense combat, so I will take the next level. You all watch carefully. Even if we fail, we should at least collect as much information about the opponent as we can for analysis.”

“Yes.”

Tang Miao and the others nodded unanimously, obviously aware of the difficulty of the next level.

Wang Huai patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and said, “Bai Qi, you aren’t a member of our assault team. Your priority should be self preservation. I wouldn’t know how to explain things to Minister Yi otherwise.”

“Alright, I’ll be careful.”

Bai Qi nodded. Wang Huai and the others seemed to have done their homework before tackling the stages, but they were still caught off guard. As a third – stage Beast Master, there was truly no need for him to take unnecessary risks.

However, if they were to encounter another enemy like the General Terracotta, adorned with runes he had never seen before, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

Otherwise, if Li Xusheng were to intervene, things might become messy all over again.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi glanced at Li Xusheng, only to find that his state seemed somewhat unstable, his eyes flickering manically between sanity and insanity.

Was this a side-effect of using Blood Ability?

Bai Qi was taken aback for a moment before suddenly remembering something. He took out a green dragon scale and handed it to Li Xusheng, saying, Hold this and give it a try. It might help.”

Li Xusheng looked puzzled at this unexpected suggestion, but after sensing the strong life force emanating from the green dragon scale, he gratefully accepted it.

“Thank you.”

With the aid of the green dragon scale, Li Xusheng’s condition clearly improved.

“Bai Qi, is this a dragon scale?”

Bai Qi nodded, “Yes.”

Wang Huai and the others looked at each other, silently linking Bai Qi to wealthy or legendary families.

Indeed, the rumors about Bai Qi being a nephew of Legendary Celestial Brilliance seemed to be true. Otherwise, how could he have developed Rune Evolution, and even raised such powerful creatures?

However, judging from Bai Qi’s carefree gesture when he handed over the dragon scale, the rumors of him being Bai Chuanqi’s illegitimate son seemed more credible.

About half an hour later, Li Xusheng had finished resting. After returning the green dragon scale to Bai Qi, they continued on their journey.

However, not long after they set off, the entire training field suddenly started shaking violently. The ground not far ahead collapsed and a deep, enormous tunnel appeared out of nowhere.

“Everyone, be ready.”

Seeing this, Wang Huai’s eyes hardened, and he promptly signaled the group to prepare themselves.

Roar…

The ground soon stopped trembling. A low growl of a wild beast echoed faintly from within the tunnel. At the same time, a horrendous pressure descended upon them.

It was the aura of ferocious beasts!

The group exchanged glances and quickly summoned their beasts. The Baili brothers even huddled together. The red and blue Rune Marks on their foreheads appeared, clearly showing they were ready to go all out at once. Finally, accompanied by a strong stench of blood, a gigantic saber-toothed tiger slowly sauntered out from the tunnel. It scanned Wang Huai and the others with sharp vertical pupils, unconsciously licking its lips.

It had taken them as food!

“Desert in the Sea of Starlight, combine!”

“Understood!”

Upon hearing Wang Huai’s command, the Baili brothers responded together for once. The red and blue Rune Marks on their foreheads began to glow brightly and formed a red and blue yin-yang pattern in the air.

Following this, the Black Flame Snake and the White Ice Boa instantly entwined and raced towards the yin-yang pattern.

As the Black Flame Snake and White Ice Boa passed through the yin-yang pattern, their bodies began to transform. They had unaccountably turned into a gigantic flood dragon with a red and blue unicorn-like horn.

What sort of talent is this that can transform them into dragons?!

What if these two brothers attain the Legend stage? Then wouldn’t they become real dragons?

Are all the members of the assault team so ridiculously talented?!

However, the state of the Water-Fire Dragon seemed unstable. Its transformation had a tendency to collapse after passing through the yin-yang pattern. But the Baili brothers intended only to use it for an attack and signaled at the saber-toothed tiger.

“Twin Impact!”

As soon as they said this, the Water-Fire Dragon opened its mouth wide and released a two-colored energy wave towards the saber-toothed tiger. The magnitude of the attack was just as formidable, if not more, than the Thunder Flame Power.

The power of water and fire was not supposed to blend together. However, if they did, the combined power wouldn’t be any less formidable than the Thunder Flame Power. With the higher level, the Water-Fire Dragon would likely prevail over the Husky even if they were to fight it directly.

However, this transformation was too slow and easy to evade.

As expected, just as the Water-Fire Dragon began its transformation, the saber-toothed tiger already sensed something was wrong and prepared to dodge. Even though the Twin Impact attack was exceptionally fast, the tiger managed to escape with only a small scratch on its skin.

Roar!

The moment it appeared, the saber-toothed tiger seemed to be enraged. It roared towards the sky, and a gust of black wind started sweeping across the training ground.

“Beta, any data yet?”

“Unable to detect a matching record in the database. However, judging from the energy fluctuations, it should be a Fifth Stage Monarch Creature.

“Fifth Stage Monarch?”

Bai Qi appeared puzzled at this news but became certain after seeing Wang Huai and others’ flickering detection instruments.

“Everyone be careful, this is a Fifth Stage Monarch Ferocious Beast! Moreover, it might be an Ancient Species!”

Wang Huai looked serious. He blocked everyone behind the Barrier Tree Man while his green Rune Mark on his forehead flickered. The Barrier Tree Man began growing rapidly, with countless branches stretching and intertwining, forming a large wall in no time.

Meanwhile, Tang Miao had also activated his talent, merging with the Sky- Attacking Mantis. He was definitely a bearer of Fusion Gift.

For Beast Masters, who spent most of their time wandering outdoors, the Fusion Gift was most suitable. At least when they encountered enemies they couldn’t beat, both the pet beast and the Beast Master could escape together.

As for Li Xusheng, he directly entered the Four Armored Fusion Form, silently waiting for the right moment.

Seeing this, Bai Qi also summoned all three of his pet beasts.

On the way here, he had learned why the Thirteenth Bureau didn’t send higher level Beast Masters.

The reason was simple: the training ground would adjust the level of the Guardians based on the level and status of the participants. The difference in energy value and skills would be horrifying above Fourth Stage.

Therefore, after analysis by the strategy department of the Thirteenth Bureau, the Fourth Stage was determined to be the most appropriate level.

However, who could have imagined they’d encounter such a powerful enemy.

Fifth Stage signified a qualitative leap in energy value.

Monarch level indicated that the opponent was able to suppress them across races.

And Ancient Species meant that they had absolutely no information at hand and had to explore on their own.

One could say that the only advantage they had in this battle was in numbers, but numbers were of little use when faced with higher stage life forms.

As expected, the ivy wall of the Barrier Tree Man couldn’t withstand the cutting of the black wind for long. Soon, several crevices were cut out. Although Wang Huai tried his best to maintain it, he was obviously struggling.

Seeing this situation, Li Xusheng and Tang Miao exchanged a glance. They bypassed the ivy wall and attacked the saber-toothed tiger. Meanwhile, the Baili Brothers began preparing for their next wave of attack.

The saber-toothed tiger’s previous dodging behavior had made it clear that it was quite wary of the Baili Brothers’ Twin Attack. They naturally knew what to do.

“Alpha, you go assist in the attack. Schuck and Beta, support from a distance and find its weak points. Gamma, urn… go help the Barrier Tree Man defend.” Seeing everyone from the special attack team get into state, Bai Qi also was not in a mood to idle. He allocated tasks to the three pet beasts one after the other.

Crackling sounds.

(Boss, can we go all out in the attack?)

Woof woof woof!

(I hate cats the most!)

Squelch squelch?

(Am I going to eat again?)

The three pet beasts muttered a bit in Bai Qi’s mind, and then quickly got into state.

Howling sounds.

Accompanied by a wolf howl, everyone present, including the pet beasts, felt a boost in spirit, as if they had endless strength. On the other hand, the action of the roaring saber-toothed tiger paused briefly, apparently affected by this. Demonic Roar, a group-enhancing battle cry, had finally been put to use today. Seeing that Bai Qi’s second pet beast mastered such a skill, Wang Huai felt instantly enlightened. While maintaining his growth gift, he also applied a vitality aura to everyone.

Under the enhancement of the Twin Pets’ BUFF, everyone’s state had reached a peak. Alpha turned into a shadow and crossed Li Xusheng and Tang Miao, who had set off earlier, and was the first to arrive in front of the saber-toothed tiger.

Such a fast speed!

Tang Miao raised an eyebrow. The matisse she merged with was a speed type. After the fusion, her speed increased significantly, but Alpha easily surpassed her. Could none of this guy’s beasts be normal?

Thinking of this, Tang Miao couldn’t help but glance back at Bai Qi, only to find that Bai Qi’s expression remained calm, as if this was something to be expected. Alpha, who had a speed variation, naturally became more abnormal with the double BUFF enhancement. But Bai Qi hadn’t expected that it could surpass two Fourth Stage Fusion Gift Beast Masters.

However, this justified his tireless efforts in cultivation day after day, night after night.

Seeing three arrogant bugs daring to attack in the face of its mighty fury, the saber-toothed tiger’s suppressed anger exploded after many years. With a swing of its huge claws, numerous black wind blades aimed at the trio. Tang Miao immediately dodged when she saw this. The powerful explosive power of the matisse was vividly displayed on her. As for Li Xusheng, he activated his special ability directly, condensing a pair of blood wings and flying into the sky.

As for Alpha, it stubbornly summoned dozens of ice crystal barriers to block directly, which were all turned into ice crystals in the blink of an eye and scattered around under the promotion of the wind, quickly covering the entire training ground.

However, Alpha, who should have been cut into pieces by wind blades, had now disappeared without trace.
