21: Shocked, fighting against the awakening level beast!
“Common Rank eight. Su Yuan’s Beast Taming Talent has actually reached Common Rank eight? This, how is this possible!”
Under Shi Qianying’s exclamation, Li Ming, who was already not far from them, naturally heard her cry of surprise.
With an expression of disbelief, Li Ming looked in Su Yuan’s direction, then, following their gazes, he found Xiaoxuan’s figure on the battlefield.
As if to prove that Shi Qianying’s earlier exclamation was false, Li Ming’s gaze never moved after he found Xiaoxuan’s figure.
Soon, Li Ming saw another powerful ape-like Vicious Beast charging towards Xiaoxuan’s location with a majestic Aura.
“That’s an adult Nine-Fingered Battle Ape. Their quality is generally above Excellent Six-star, and adult Nine-Fingered Battle Apes are Awakening-level Vicious Beasts.”
“Su Yuan, even if your Beast has truly reached Common Rank eight, you will still be defeated against this adult Nine-Fingered Battle Ape!”
When he discovered the Vicious Beast charging towards Xiaoxuan, Li Ming’s originally grim face immediately showed a cruel sneer.
Now he didn’t need to check if Xiaoxuan had truly reached Common Rank eight.
Because whether Xiaoxuan was Common Rank eight or not, it was meaningless in front of that Vicious Beast that had reached Awakening-level.
Even his Lightning Tiger, with its Excellent Seven-star quality, was no match for an adult Nine-Fingered Battle Ape when it was Common Rank eight, let alone Su Yuan’s Blastoise?
“Su Yuan, that adult Nine-Fingered Battle Ape is an Awakening Rank two Vicious Beast. It’s definitely not something your Beast can contend with. Quickly make your Beast retreat!”
At this moment, Tang Zihan also noticed the danger Xiaoxuan was facing and spoke with a somewhat anxious tone.
Although Xiaoxuan’s performance in killing the Candlelight Spider earlier was very impressive, that strike even had the power comparable to an Awakening-level strike.
But it was only comparable after all, and there was still a certain gap compared to the attack of a true Awakening-level Vicious Beast.
What’s more, in Tang Zihan’s perception, the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape charging towards Xiaoxuan had Awakening Rank two strength.
While Tang Zihan was advising Su Yuan, amidst the beast horde in front, a crimson figure rapidly weaved through the Vicious Beasts, quickly approaching Xiaoxuan’s direction.
“That’s right, Su Yuan, quickly make your Beast retreat and let the teachers take over.”
Hearing Tang Zihan’s voice, Shi Qianying’s expression also changed slightly, and she also spoke to Su Yuan.
“Nine-Fingered Battle Ape, Excellent Six-star quality, Rank reached Awakening Rank two. This strength is just right to test Xiaoxuan’s current combat power!”
However, facing their advice, Su Yuan did not make Xiaoxuan return.
As soon as the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape charged towards Xiaoxuan, Su Yuan already had a clear understanding of the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s attributes.
Facing the charging Nine-Fingered Battle Ape, Su Yuan only gave Xiaoxuan one command: to fight with all its might.
“Hoo-ch!”
After receiving Su Yuan’s command, Xiaoxuan exhaled a thick plume of white mist from its nostrils.
The surrounding water elements frantically gathered around it.
The next moment, a water pillar, even thicker than the one that killed the Candlelight Spider earlier, shot out, instantly slamming into the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s chest.
Bang!!!
A dull sound was heard, and the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s charging body abruptly paused, taking several steps back uncontrollably, its expression appearing somewhat painful.
Although the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape, struck by the water pillar, was not pierced through its body like the Candlelight Spider before.
But a gash also appeared on its chest, where it was impacted by the water pillar, under the powerful force, and blood slowly flowed out, mixed with water.
“The Nine-Fingered Battle Ape is injured!”
“This, how is this possible!”
Watching Xiaoxuan repel the Awakening-level Nine-Fingered Battle Ape with a single strike, and even injure it.
The smile on Li Ming’s face in the crowd suddenly froze, his eyes gradually widened, and he stared blankly at the scene that completely exceeded his expectations, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Not only Li Ming, but Shi Qianying and Tang Zihan’s expressions next to Su Yuan were also the same.
On Tang Zihan’s captivating face, the original worry had disappeared, replaced by surprise and delight.
“It turns out it wasn’t even using its full strength against that Common Rank seven Candlelight Spider just now. Su Yuan’s Beast truly gave me a huge surprise!”
“Su Yuan’s Blastoise clearly only has the Aura of Common Rank eight, yet it can repel an Awakening Rank two Nine-Fingered Battle Ape with a single blow. This is simply incredible!”
“No, Su Yuan’s Beast can no longer be called a Blastoise. A Blastoise doesn’t have such terrifying combat power, and neither does the Water King Turtle, which Blastoise evolves into.”
“To be able to unleash the combat power to repel an Awakening Rank two Nine-Fingered Battle Ape at Common Rank eight, only a perfect quality Common Rank eight Beast could possess such powerful combat power.”
“Could Su Yuan’s Beast have already evolved into a perfect quality Tsunami Turtle?”
“No, Su Yuan’s Beast’s appearance is too different from a Tsunami Turtle; it can’t be a Tsunami Turtle.”
“What kind of secret does this Su Yuan fellow actually possess?”
Witnessing Xiaoxuan injure an Awakening Rank two Nine-Fingered Battle Ape with a single strike at Common Rank eight, Tang Zihan was endlessly surprised.
Amidst her surprise, she quickly recalled the incident of the soul crystal shattering during Su Yuan’s Beast Taming Talent test.
She had a faint feeling in her heart that the shattering of the soul crystal during Su Yuan’s talent test might not have been accidental.
“Roar—”
On the battlefield, the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape, injured by Xiaoxuan’s strike, let out another roar of fury after recovering slightly.
It clenched its fists, disregarding the injury on its chest, and beat its chest with its fists, roaring up to the sky.
Its eyes quickly turned blood red, and its Aura also surged dramatically.
“This is the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s Berserk skill. It seems it’s ready to fight to the death.”
Su Yuan understood immediately upon seeing this scene, a glint flashing in his eyes.
The Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s Berserk skill can cause its strength to surge in a short period, but after the berserk state ends, it will fall into a period of weakness, its strength will be halved, and it may even experience a drop in Rank.
Undoubtedly, this skill is used for a desperate fight.
After using the Berserk skill, the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape now possessed the strength of Awakening Rank three.
But Su Yuan still had no intention of making Xiaoxuan retreat.
Xiaoxuan had only used the Water Gun skill to attack just now.
It still had more powerful skills it hadn’t used, and it wasn’t afraid of the berserk Nine-Fingered Battle Ape at all.
Moreover, attack was not Xiaoxuan’s strong suit; defense was!
Even if the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s combat power soared in its berserk state, it wouldn’t be a problem for Xiaoxuan to withstand its attacks for a while.
Pfft!
Just as Su Yuan was about to let Xiaoxuan fight fiercely, a crimson figure, like a ghost, streaked past the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape.
The moment the crimson figure and the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape intersected, a line of blood appeared below the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s neck, and then its entire head fell off directly.
“The Nine-Fingered Battle Ape, comparable to Awakening Rank three, was instantly killed without any resistance. The gap between Commander-level and Awakening-level is too great!”
Watching the Nine-Fingered Battle Ape’s corpse slowly fall, Su Yuan was surprised, his gaze narrowed, and he turned to look at the red figure that continued to kill other Vicious Beasts.

Evolution Plan 2: Materials required for next stage evolution: …
The Beast that had just killed the berserk Nine-Fingered Battle Ape with a single strike was precisely Tang Zihan’s Beast, the ‘Blazing Red Fox’.
“Su Yuan, you can let your Beast fight Common Rank Vicious Beasts. For Vicious Beasts above Common Rank, leave them to the teachers.”
At this moment, Tang Zihan’s voice also rang out beside Su Yuan.
Hearing this, Su Yuan nodded.
With the previous test, he already had a clearer understanding of Xiaoxuan’s specific combat power and no longer needed to test it.
In a thought, Su Yuan directed Xiaoxuan to find other Common Rank Vicious Beasts to fight.
He could see the specific attributes of all Vicious Beasts, and with this ability, Xiaoxuan always sought out Vicious Beasts above Common Rank seven as opponents.
This not only reduced some pressure on their side but also allowed them to earn a considerable income from Vicious Beast soul crystals while killing these Vicious Beasts.
