Chapter 190 - 190 Li Yuan Challenges Shen Fei

190 Li Yuan Challenges Shen Fei

There were a total of thirty-six spirit beasts, and all of them were gorgeous. They exuded a fierce aura that made everyone’s hearts tremble.

“The strength of these spirit beasts are at least at the peak of the Count rank! Moreover, they’re all very healthy and would not have any diseases or defects. If they are tamed well, they will become superb weapons in battle, and make enemies tremble in fear!”

Edward’s face was full of confidence. His voice was loud and clear, shaking the hearts of everyone present. The guests were stunned.

“Amazing! As expected of the mayor’s mansion!

“With these spirit beasts, I’m afraid that no warrior in the entire continent would be a match for them.”

“These spirit beasts are hard to come by!”

“No wonder the mayor would invite so many important figures to participate in his banquet. So they had something like this prepared!”

Everyone present was extremely shocked. Their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Mayor Edward suddenly said, “I would like to take this opportunity to see how strong you are.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became excited. Mayor Edward wanted to check everyone’s cultivation state! This was a time of great honor, and definitely something to show off.

“Everyone, you may choose any of the spirit beasts here to fight. Remember not to use your own spirit beasts in the duel. Some of these spirit beasts have strong temperaments. If you want them, you’ll have to rely on your own strength to tame them,” Edward said, “Otherwise, I’ll have to disqualify you.”

“Don’t worry, mayor. I definitely won’t use my own spirit beast.”

“Who would dare to violate his rules?”

“Hahaha, Mayor Edward, how could we make such a rookie mistake?”

Everyone made their promises one after another, not daring to break the rules. Soon, they all found their own targets and went up to the stage to try to tame the spirit beasts. Some wanted to test the waters first, while others wished to fight them head-on.

Aloy walked in front of Shen Fei and asked sweetly, “Shen Fei, which one do you want to try?”

Shen Fei smiled lightly, pointed at the nearest spirit beast and said, “I want to try that lion.”

“Alright.” Aloy nodded her head cutely before she turned around and they walked toward the spirit beast together.

There were lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, and all kinds of other birds of prey locked up in cages. They watched the group with blood-red eyes and growled deeply. As the crowd approached, the eyes of these spirit beasts became even redder, and the killing intent in their bodies gradually increased.

After a while, everyone had chosen their spirit beasts.

As for Shen Fei, he chose the Soul Lion, which, if he had to rank the strength, was at the mid second-tier.

‘This spirit beast is pretty good.’ The corner of Shen Fei’s mouth curled up into a smirk.

“I wish to challenge Shen Fei!”

At this moment, Li Yuan brought the spirit beast he had chosen and looked at Shen Fei arrogantly. It was as if he was certain that Shen Fei would definitely lose this time.

Hearing this, Shen Fei laughed. “Alright,” he said.

At this, Edward waved his hand, and a round arena appeared on the floor of the banquet hall. Only Shen Fei and Li Yuan were in the arena.

“Shen Fei, you should watch out. The Red Divine Panther I’ve chosen is extremely powerful,” Li Yuan warned in a strange tone.

Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “Just attack as you wish. There’s no need to hold back.”

“Heh! A dead duck with a hard mouth—stubborn. You’ll find out what a painful lesson is later,” Li Yuan coldly snorted.

“Begin!” Mayor Edward shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan ordered the Red Divine Panther to attack Shen Fei’s Soul Lion.

This Red Divine Panther was a high grade Count-rank spirit beast. Its strength was equivalent to a Master of the martial cultivation path. It also had a protective shield that could help it resist the damage of fire and earth magic. As such, it was not easy to deal with this spirit beast. In fact, one had to be extremely careful.

The panther appeared in front of the Soul Lion in a flash. Just as the Red Divine Panther was about to bite it, the Soul Lion, which had been standing around in a daze, moved suddenly.

It opened its mouth and yanked on the mane around its neck. The half-meter long mane turned into countless sharp swords and stabbed the Red Divine Panther. Blood and flesh suddenly splattered everywhere.

Seeing this change, Li Yuan’s face instantly turned pale. He knew that if he did not retreat the panther, then what awaited it would be death.

“Soul Lion, Raging Lion’s Roar!” Shen Fei’s voice came from afar. Hearing his order, the Soul Lion roared toward the sky.

In an instant, a terrifying ripple spread out in all directions. Wherever it passed, the air trembled as if it would shatter at any moment. At the same time, a gust of wind whistled and swept toward the Red Divine Panther. When the wind touched the panther’s body, its skin burst into flames, and it was quickly engulfed by it.

A shrill scream resounded through the arena, “Roooaarr!!”

The Red Divine Panther struggled with all its might in the flames, but in the end, it still fell to the ground. Its entire body was burned to ashes, and it died a quick, clean death.

Seeing this, Li Yuan’s face held an expression of disbelief.

“What? This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Li Yuan said with a face full of disbelief. “What did you do?! Why do you have such a powerful spirit beast? This doesn’t make sense! It’s not logical!”

The Red Divine Panther was a high grade Count-rank spirit beast! How could he lose to some kind of magical spirit beast that had not even stepped into the Count rank? Furthermore, the Red Divine Panther’s armor was extremely tough. Ordinary attacks were completely unable to break through its defenses. How could it have lost to this lion beast?

“What did you do?! Why do you have such a powerful spirit beast?!! This doesn’t make sense! It’s not logical!!!” Li Yuan shouted hysterically. He refused to accept such a result.

Shen Fei smirked and said, “This is the reality. You can’t defeat me.”

Actually, when the Soul Lion made its move, Shen Fei had already guessed that he would win. Although the Red Divine Panther’s defense was extremely high, it had underestimated the Soul Lion.

The Soul Lion was a high grade Count-rank spirit beast. Why would it be afraid of another high grade Count-rank spirit beast? Under the crushing might of the Soul Lion, the Red Divine Panther’s armor was almost unable to put up any resistance and was torn to pieces.

“D*mn you! I won’t let you go!” Li Yuan gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Fei. His voice was full of resentment, if not for Shen Fei getting in his way, he would have acquired another spirit beast!

Hearing this, Shen Fei shook his head. “What an idiot.”

After saying this, he raised his right hand and a green fireball appeared in Shen Fei’s palm.

“Wh-what kind of flame is that? It can actually release such a terrifying heat!” Feeling the temperature of the green flame, Li Yuan’s face revealed a look of horror.

Shen Fei’s eyes held no emotion as his right hand forcefully swung out. The green fireball rushed toward Li Yuan with a frightening aura.

Li Yuan’s pupils shrank at the sight. He hurriedly executed a soul art to avoid the green fireball.
