60: A luxurious battle

"What did you just eat?" Guo Linshan asked immediately after sensing Su Ze's withered spirit recover.

"Nothing much, just a Gold-rank beast taming egg."

Everyone present had contracted Gold-rank beasts before, so they didn't find the rank itself particularly unusual like others might.

However, forming a contract was one thing; eating it like a common dish was quite another!

Even Jiang Tianlong and Jiang Chen, who came from the Jiang Family, had never seen such a way of eating; currently, only some farmed black iron and bronze grade demon beasts were served on dining tables.

Higher-level Silver grade demon beasts and Gold-rank Demon Beasts could no longer be farmed on a large scale.

Even higher ranks like platinum-level and diamond rank were rare demon beasts that one could only hope to encounter.

So why would someone pull out a gold-rank monster beast egg and drink it during a battle?

This was simply too luxurious!

Su Ze curled his lips; this demon beast egg, which he had drawn earlier but was reluctant to eat, ultimately could not escape the fate of being digested.

This was his first time eating such a high-level beast taming egg, but compared to the deliciousness of a cooked one, the taste of eating it raw was much worse.

As the fishy, slimy, and thick egg liquid slid through his mouth, Su Ze couldn't help but scream "disgusting" in his heart.

After he finally managed to swallow it, he looked at Guo Linshan's puzzled expression and asked, "Don't you know that a demon beast egg can quickly help a Beast Tamer replenish consumed Spiritual Power?"

Not only did Guo Linshan shake his head, but even Jiang Tianlong and Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake theirs as well.

"Well, now you know~" Su Ze said, looking at Jiang Tianlong not far away.

Su Ze felt a surge of power from within his body; it instantly replenished his Spiritual Power and continued to flow incessantly.

In an instant, he felt as if he had consumed too many potent tonics; his face was flushed red, and he desperately needed to vent.

Having restored his Spiritual Power, Su Ze could continue to use the power of the phoenix feather departing fire fan. Just one fan strike had burned the Armored Rock Rhino to ashes; now, the power of a strike would only be greater, and Jiang Tianlong might not necessarily be able to withstand it.

Although his expression was solemn and no longer held his previous confidence, Jiang Tianlong still sneered and said, "So what if you've recovered using external help? I want to see just how many times you can swing that fan!"

He didn't give Su Ze time to respond; the spear tip, which had been gathering power for a long time, suddenly thrust forward, and a brilliant light shot toward Su Ze.

Su Ze did not hesitate either, once again pouring in Spiritual Power and waving the feather fan in his hand.

Immediately, the Phoenix Fire reappeared, incinerating everything in front of it until it met Jiang Tianlong's attack and came to a standstill.

When the flames gradually vanished, Jiang Tianlong's attack was also neutralized.

He looked up at Su Ze's state, only to find that his Spiritual Power was still abundant and his face was ruddy, not at all like the withered state he was in after a single strike earlier.

This was because the gold-rank monster beast egg had not been completely absorbed by him and was still continuously releasing energy within Su Ze's body.

Su Ze's Spiritual Power was replenished as soon as it was exhausted, continuing until the egg was completely digested.

"Damn it, then I'll just keep attacking until the power from that trash you ate runs out!"

The two of them, one with a spear and one with a fan, became entangled in a struggle. Su Ze constantly used offense as defense to neutralize the opponent's attacks while ensuring he never allowed him to get close.

Because Su Ze knew that although he had the attack power to threaten Jiang Tianlong thanks to the specialized Beast Spirit Weaponization, he had completely abandoned defense. Once he was approached, everything would be over.

Jiang Tianlong also saw this, so he was willing to endure some attacks and suffer burns on non-fatal areas just to get close to Su Ze.

However, the injuries accumulating on his body were becoming heavier and heavier, yet he was always just a hair's breadth away from succeeding.

Jiang Tianlong began to grow anxious; at this rate, the effect of the Light Spirit Lock would soon end. Once the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird returned to its original form to fight, it would be truly impossible to deal with Su Ze.

At the critical moment of their stalemate, Su Ze's offensive suddenly stalled, and he lowered his head, burying it against his chest.

Jiang Tianlong was overjoyed; as expected, that gold egg couldn't keep Su Ze energized forever. Now, his Spiritual Power was exhausted once again.

"Let's see what you'll do this time!"

To be safe, Jiang Tianlong decided to end the battle quickly.

He chose not to charge an attack from a distance but instead closed in. The long spear in his hand thrust straight toward Su Ze, aiming for a certain kill.

Guo Linshan, who had been warily watching Jiang Chen from the side, couldn't make it in time even if he wanted to help Su Ze.

"Die!"

Just as a cruel and triumphant smile appeared on Jiang Tianlong's face, Su Ze, who had been looking panicked and helpless with his head down, suddenly looked up with an even more brilliant smile.

Only then did Jiang Tianlong see that Su Ze's other hand, the one not holding the phoenix feather departing fire fan, was cradling two round demon beast eggs against his chest, which had already been sucked dry.

"More demon beast eggs! How is that possible?!"

Jiang Tianlong really couldn't understand where Su Ze had continuously pulled out three head-sized demon beast eggs from.

He understood even less why there would be such a luxurious fighting style!

This time, Su Ze had eaten two Silver grade demon beast eggs; it could be said that his entire savings had been drained.

Even so, the effect was nowhere near as good as a single gold-rank monster beast egg, but it was enough.

Su Ze took advantage of the opponent's daze to grab the long spear with one hand while violently waving the phoenix feather departing fire fan with the other. The Phoenix Fire surged toward Jiang Tianlong, covering him completely.

The opponent was also very decisive; Su Ze felt his hand go empty as Jiang Tianlong instantly switched from Beast Spirit Weaponization to Beast Spirit Armorization.

A full set of plate armor enveloped his body, blocking the raging fire.

However, even Earth-type demon beasts, known for their defense, couldn't block the Phoenix Fire, and Jiang Tianlong was naturally no exception.

After the armor formed by the Aurora Unicorn withstood most of the damage, it finally had its Armorization forcibly deactivated, and the beast collapsed on the ground, on the verge of death.

Jiang Tianlong, hidden inside the armor, also suffered significant burns. His originally handsome face was completely disfigured, covered in burn scars and blisters, looking shocking to behold.

Jiang Tianlong no longer had any combat strength, but Jiang Chen was still there, as was Chen Ze, who had never shown his face.

Thus, Su Ze once again held that platinum-level demon beast egg in his hand and looked at Jiang Chen, ready to crack the shell and drink it at any moment.

On the side, Guo Linshan's eyelids twitched; a platinum-level demon beast was something his entire life's battle merits couldn't even exchange for, yet it was now being treated as a dish for someone to eat.

Fortunately, at that moment, the effect of the Light Spirit Lock vanished.

The phoenix feather departing fire fan in Su Ze's hand shook and once again transformed into the sun-blotting Phoenix Bird, dispersing all the mist.

The platinum-level demon beast egg was also saved.

But just as Su Ze lowered his guard, Jiang Chen's shadow suddenly moved!
