46: Golden-patterned white tiger

Lin Shu's gaze fell upon the Mountain Forest Wolf.

Name: Mountain Forest Wolf

Level: LV11 (0/110)

Level Cap: LV26

Status: Berserk

Quality: Common

Attribute: Wood

Talent: None

Skills: Basic - Bite - Mastery (0/40), Claw Strike - Mastery (0/40)

Overall, it looked quite ordinary, probably just an appetizer.

Lin Shu didn't even need to give a command.

Black Night's speed was like a ghost, flashing behind the Mountain Forest Wolf.

A white Blade Qi Strike lit up and shot forth, cutting through as easily as tofu, and a snarling wolf head fell to the ground with a thud.

A large amount of crimson blood spurted out, and the head crashed heavily to the ground, no longer moving.

Under the Blade Qi Strike, this Mountain Forest Wolf was as fragile as a piece of paper.

Black Night shook his arms, which were stained with a bit of blood, his expression calm and composed.

He seemed incredibly skilled at killing a Beast, perhaps this was a Talent carried in his genes.

A few short seconds later, the Mountain Forest Wolf's corpse, which had been on the ground, turned into dust in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Shu wasn't surprised by this sight; it was, after all, an illusion created by the Trial Tower.

Immediately, streams of green light points enveloped Lin Shu, Black Night, and Tu Yao.

A faint green glow emanated, and Lin Shu felt a refreshing sensation; his previously somewhat fatigued body instantly became Mental. It also possessed the ability to heal injuries.

It seemed that after passing each floor, the Beastmaster and their Beasts would have their injuries replenished.

The green light disappeared after a moment, seemingly because none of them had any serious injuries.

The ground immediately began to tremble, and a black vortex appeared in the center of the square.

In just a blink of an eye, Lin Shu was teleported to the next floor... Meanwhile, outside the Trial Tower, Gu Zhenbang was chatting with Xu Lihuang.

"I wonder which floor Lin Shu can reach this time."

"If he had a few more months, with his current rate of improvement, he could probably go straight to the eighth floor."

Gu Zhenbang held a cigarette in his hand, puffing out smoke as he spoke.

"Entering the third floor shouldn't be a problem; his strength is already very impressive."

Hearing Xu Lihuang say this, Gu Zhenbang nodded noncommittally.

"If you ask me, among the school team, Lin Shu is a great Talent, and Gao Feng is half a Talent."

"The rest are just average."

Gu Zhenbang looked towards the Trial Tower as he spoke.

Xu Lihuang didn't say anything after hearing this, simply taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

On the empty ground to the left, a casually dressed man stood looking ahead.

He wore a simple black and white striped T-shirt, with off-white casual shorts and black flip-flops.

Coupled with his occasional limb movements, he appeared somewhat lackadaisical.

He picked up a bottle of iced drink and took a sip, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Trial Tower not far away.

"He just went in. Good thing I wasn't late."

"I wonder if there will be any more surprises."

Gu Li said somewhat casually. In this short half-day, he had already understood most of Lin Shu's information.

It was impossible not to recognize him.

He remembered coming here himself once before.

His first challenge only barely reached the ninth floor before he could go no further.

Such a result was considered excellent at the time, but he still regretted not reaching the top.

It was a pity that Lin Shu had obtained his Beast for too short a time, otherwise, he really wanted to see where his limit was... Lin Shu quickly encountered new monsters on the second floor.

However, they still didn't put any pressure on Black Night.

Black Night only used one Blade Qi Strike, as easily as cutting vegetables.

Given Black Night's current attack power, not many Beasts of the same level could withstand it.

Unless it was a defensive Beast, it might be able to resist a few attacks.

In this way, Lin Shu very quickly arrived at the fourth floor.

The difficulty also increased accordingly. This time, the opponent was a Gold-Striped White Tiger.

It was five meters long, covered in white fur, with circles of golden patterns around its back.

Its head was as big as a washbasin, revealing a gaping maw with fangs as thick as a thumb.

The character "King" was displayed on its forehead, majestic and exuding killing intent.

Lin Shu only took a quick glance and knew this was a formidable opponent.

Name: Gold-Striped White Tiger

Level: LV17

Level Cap: LV49

Status: Berserk

Quality: Elite

Attribute: Gold

Talent: None

Skills: Basic - Tiger Claw - Perfect (0/50), Iron Tail - Perfect (0/50), Pounce and Bite - Perfect (0/50)

Intermediate - Roar - Minor Accomplishment (0/60), Golden Light Blade - Minor Accomplishment (0/60)

Lin Shu's eyes narrowed. A Gold-Striped White Tiger with this level of skills was already capable of instantly killing eighty percent of Beastmasters of the same age.

It was simply a bit exaggerated that the difficulty was already this high on only the fourth floor.

Black Night's small face was full of seriousness and focus, his arms crossed, ready for battle at any moment.

As the Gold-Striped White Tiger's form gradually solidified, Lin Shu immediately commanded Black Night to attack, not giving the Gold-Striped White Tiger a chance to strike.

After all, the Roar skill, no matter how he looked at it, seemed related to the Mental aspect, and Black Night couldn't defend against such a skill.

In a moment of distraction, he might be taken down by a single claw from the Gold-Striped White Tiger.

Black Night also directly activated Dual Shadow Kill, and three figures appeared in the Gold-Striped White Tiger's vision.

They swung their blades and attacked it in unison.

The Gold-Striped White Tiger immediately began to twist its massive yet flexible body, executing a side-sweep, its tail lashing out like an iron whip.

"Clang, clang!"

Sounds echoed through the air.

The other two mirrors, illusions created by Dual Shadow Kill, were directly shattered by a single tail swipe.

One could imagine the power of that Iron Tail.

However, Black Night also took advantage of the gap when the mirrors were destroyed, seizing the opportunity to sneak attack the belly below.

His arms, like daggers, continuously stabbed and slashed three times.

Only then did he retreat to a distance, looking for the next opportunity to attack.

"Roar, roar!"

The intense pain made the Gold-Striped White Tiger roar. Its originally snowy white fur was now stained crimson with blood.

Enduring the severe pain, its gaze, however, was fixed on Lin Shu, its tiger eyes filled with brutality and bloodlust.

It ran, quickly turning into a corner, its abdominal blood trail following each step, forming a red line.

Seeing this, Black Night showed no hesitation, following closely to the Gold-Striped White Tiger's side.

"Use Void Walk to finish it!"

"It's trying to cast a skill!"

Lin Shu immediately reminded Black Night; wasn't the Gold-Striped White Tiger running to the other side to release Roar or Golden Light Blade?

It wouldn't be that easy.

Black Night understood upon hearing this, slashing downwards with his arms, two white Blade Qi Strikes carrying energy shot forth.

Facing this sudden attack, the Gold-Striped White Tiger turned to dodge, but its abdominal injury still slowed its speed.

The sharp Blade Qi Strike still hit it, sending a large amount of blood-red fur and flesh flying.

Black Night directly used Void Walk to arrive beside the Gold-Striped White Tiger, which was already somewhat unable to move.

His arms moved rapidly, delivering more than a dozen attacks in just a blink of an eye.

The Gold-Striped White Tiger's previously somewhat fluctuating body gradually stiffened.

Clearly, it was dead beyond dead.

Black Night, sensing that the opponent could no longer resist, finally stopped.

The Gold-Striped White Tiger was almost minced into meat by him.

Black Night's chest rose and fell slightly, clearly, the previous battle had consumed a good deal of his stamina.

Fortunately, after this period of training, his physical endurance was much better than before.

Lin Shu was also very satisfied with Black Night's performance.

During training, he had combined Black Night's combat modes, allowing him to use them according to the situation in battle.

He hadn't expected Black Night's keenness in combat to be so high, completely eliminating the need for him to worry.

Tu Yao, at this moment, still had his hands spread open, guarding against an incoming attack.

Even though the opponent was down and out...
