Chapter 128: Chapter 105: Beast King’s Divine Skill: Absolute Bone Realm
"Its skill couldn’t possibly be..."
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn’t help but have his pupils contract in shock.
Because the Bone Armor Bull’s skill was a bit too overwhelming.
[Absolute Bone Realm: Transforms a certain surrounding area into a Skeleton Realm, with the ground continuously creating random Bone Prisons to trap and attack the enemy. The Bone Armor Bull within the realm gains "Deadly Bone Armor": Consuming the bone armor to block a lethal attack when receiving fatal damage.]
Absolute Bone Realm, one of the top skills of the Bone Armor Bull clan, and even more outrageous is...
It has a dual effect.
What just blocked the aurora was the power of the Deadly Bone Armor.
At this moment, the Violet-Eyed Bull was tightly entangled, with sharp bones piercing into its body, bleeding profusely.
Li Qiuqiu’s mental defenses finally crumbled, and she hurriedly said, "I concede, I concede!"
Only then did Li Jiuxiao wave his hand, signaling the Bone Armor Bull to release the realm, and after the referee announced it, Li Jiuxiao looked at the anxious Violet-Eyed Bull receiving emergency care and just coldly said:
"Overestimating oneself."
Li Qiuqiu didn’t speak, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth...
She knew she couldn’t win.
But she wanted to give it a try...
Even knowing the result would be a loss.
At least, she had tried her best.
....
"What a pity."
"Yeah, this little girl almost slayed a ’god’."
"The gap is still large, ultimate against ultimate, defeat is inevitable, can’t blame anyone."
"Absolute Bone Realm is inherently formidable; with dual effects, others have no chance, and now the champion is almost predetermined."
"Yes, whether Lin Chen or Wan Ming wins, the final result will be the same."
The audience was abuzz with chatter, feeling pity for Li Qiuqiu and marveling at Li Jiuxiao’s terrifying Beast King Bloodline.
Three skills, six effects.
It’s tough for others to defeat him.
Qin Hao and Cai Yuanji chatted all the way back, and finally, Qin Hao looked at the silent Lin Chen and asked, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"
"Although the Absolute Bone Realm is powerful, it is not unbreakable." Lin Chen said, "As long as the burst is enough, the realm can be broken, and it’s not a true realm, but a physical realm."
Cai Yuanji and others nodded, but Bai Jiajia commented, "I wonder if Xiaobai’s Barbaric Bloodline can break the realm; if controllable, there might truly be a chance."
Lin Chen just smiled.
In fact, he himself was unsure.
In this level of contest, the outcome is decided in an instant.
Back at the residence, Lin Chen didn’t dwell too much on the previous match; he wasn’t someone with unrealistic ambitions.
The most crucial task now was to first deal with Wan Ming.
After thinking for about three hours, Lin Chen summoned Xiaobai and said:
"The opponent’s melee ability is not weak, especially its Furious Thunder Charge, which might be faster than your One Bull into Four."
Xiaobai was troubled.
The opponent’s Skill 1 is the Thunder Triangle Array, capable of both defense and synergy with the Furious Thunder Charge to launch an attack.
Thus, Xiaobai would definitely find it very tough in battle.
"Do it like this..."
Lin Chen wrote and drew on paper, and in the end, both man and two beasts showed pure and clean smiles.
....
Tavern
Li Qiuqiu finally exhaled a long breath after sending off the physician.
The Violet-Eyed Bull’s injuries were superficial, and not difficult to mend.
However, it certainly couldn’t bear weight for two months.
Just as she was about to return to her room, she saw Li Guan arriving, and remembering what was said before the battle, she couldn’t help but smile self-deprecatingly and asked, "Second Uncle, do you also think I’m overestimating myself?"
"No, I admire your courage."
"Courage?"
"Knowing the unachievable yet still attempting it, that is courage."
"That is also foolish."
"But sometimes the world needs some ’fools’; otherwise, where would the current peaceful age come from? But we often call them heroes."
After listening to Li Guan’s words, Li Qiuqiu stood there in a daze.
Li Guan continued, "Don’t worry, as long as Jiuxiao wins the championship smoothly, you won’t face any trouble."
After saying that, Li Guan walked away.
Li Qiuqiu also recalled the Absolute Bone Realm and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
Indeed.
Who here could beat him?
With Li Jiuxiao’s arrogant personality, he certainly wouldn’t hold it against her, but people from the family were different.
If Li Jiuxiao lost, someone had to take the blame.
Obviously, that person...
Could only be Li Qiuqiu.
Because it was she who forced Li Jiuxiao to use his Skill 3.
After thinking for a moment, Li Qiuqiu didn’t care anymore; deep down, she’d rather hope for Li Jiuxiao to win, whether it was from the family’s perspective or hers.
....
The next day, Lin Chen’s match against Wan Ming arrived.
Yesterday’s battle had been so thrilling it made everyone look forward to today’s match.
"Today we should finally witness the Barbaric Bloodline, right."
"Been waiting a month; if they don’t unleash it soon, I’ll go crazy."
"We need to stand further away so we don’t get inadvertently hurt."
"What are you afraid of? You’re a Level 30 Beastmaster; that Plowhorn Beast may be wild, but can it defeat you?"
"Alright, let’s all cheer for Lin Chen in today’s match."
"Yeah, yeah."
The audience was abuzz; after Lin Chen’s impressive battle with Dasa, he naturally attracted many fans.
So, when Lin Chen made his entrance, it was as if a tidal wave of cheers erupted.
Lin Chen brought Xiaobai along, soaking in the enthusiastic cheers...
At this moment, Xiaobai’s beast’s blood was boiling.
"Don’t get too excited; you’ll have your turn." Lin Chen comforted.
"Moo~~~"
Xiaobai still felt very excited.
After all, Lin Chen mentioned that when facing the Thunder Bull Beast today, it has a high chance of using its Barbaric Bloodline.
Wan Ming also arrived, accompanied by his father, the Patriarch of the Wan Family, Wan Qiandao.
Both of their spirits weren’t in the best condition; after watching Li Jiuxiao’s match yesterday, they stayed up late analyzing Li Jiuxiao’s skills until almost dawn.
Li Jiuxiao’s strength was beyond their expectations.
Therefore...
They needed to end the battle early and return to continue their research.
"If the opponent uses Mad Bull Bloodline, end the battle immediately, don’t waste time..."
"Father, I understand," Wan Ming nodded...
At this moment, he was still pondering how to deal with Li Jiuxiao’s Absolute Bone Realm until the referee’s voice rang out:
[Semifinals Second Match]
[Wan Ming vs. Lin Chen]
[Level 19 Thunder Bull Beast vs. Level 16 Plowhorn Beast]
Hearing this, many sighed.
Lin Chen’s disadvantage wasn’t in quality—after all, his Plowhorn Beast was nothing short of monstrous.
But lagging in level was the key point.
[Match Start!]
Both Spirit Beasts readied themselves; the Thunder Bull Beast, perhaps influenced by Wan Ming, looked at Xiaobai with arrogance.
Until Xiaobai raised its hooves...
"Opportunity!"
Wan Ming, seeing what seemed like the Soul-Calming Hoof motion, immediately became alert...
Last night, they didn’t completely disregard studying Lin Chen; they even spared five precious minutes for a simple analysis of Lin Chen.
