The second one, the Solar Flare Flood Dragon.
[Solar Flare Flood Dragon
Strength: Third-level Tier 3
Attributes: Elemental System, Flight System, Sonic System
Aptitude: S
Potential: Expected to promote to SSS-Rank Potential.
Skills: ...]
Flood Dragons possess a small amount of True Dragon Bloodline; only after leaping over the Dragon Gate can they transform into a True Dragon.
Even the most ordinary True Dragon starts at SS-Rank.
Its current Aptitude is equivalent to a Sub-Dragon, but its potential is slightly higher than a Sub-Dragon's.
The third one, the Ghost Curse Crow.
[Ghost Curse Crow
Strength: Third-level Tier 3
Attributes: Curse System, Flight System, Assassin Class
Aptitude: S
Potential: Expected to promote to SSS-Rank Potential.
Skills: ...]
A rare Curse System Yao Beast; this type of Yao Beast is famous for its eeriness.
It can immobilize an opponent without them noticing, or disrupt their consciousness, inducing emotions like despair, fear, and pain.
It can even plague the opponent with bad luck or haunt them with nightmares.
This Ghost Curse Crow is different; it possesses the [Curse of Silence] skill.
At the Mastery Level of proficiency, it can prevent the opponent from releasing any skills for one second.
Like Chi Yu's [Soul Stripping], it is a single-target attack, but it is incredibly powerful—a true divine assassin skill.
If the Ghost Curse Crow hadn't already recognized a master, Chen Fei would have truly considered making it his fourth pet.
"It's your turn!"
Confidence comes from strength!
Shen Lin believed that with his top-tier beast pets, he surpassed the vast majority of people.
Chen Fei's Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros was clearly not enough; if he didn't have other beast pets, he should prepare to be crushed!
"One A and two S-ranks; as expected of the first-year chief of Lingchuan Academy."
"He should be able to win this time, right!"
"If he still loses, I'll drink chili water while doing a handstand."
"..."
Chen Fei took a sip of milk tea; he didn't even bother to bring out a chair, believing it would be over soon.
With a gentle wave, dozens of Third-level Beasts appeared before him.
Third-level Tier 2 Skyfire Beast.
Third-level Tier 2 Cloud Essence Elephant.
Third-level Tier 3 Cold Moon Beast.
Third-level Tier 3 Thorn Rose Tiger.
Third-level Tier 4 Phantom Gloom Bird.
Third-level Tier 4 Hell Scorpion Sand Dragon... The scene suddenly fell into a silence so deep that a pin drop could be heard.
Even the adjacent Betting Arena was affected; people stopped what they were doing and stared blankly.
Looking at the crowd of beasts filling the Betting Stage, even Huo Ming, who had seen much of the world, was speechless.
This is so damn... ridiculous!
Who on earth has a beast pet that controls a group of B and A-Aptitude Third-level Beasts as Subordinates?
There are even S-ranks among them; does he have to be so extravagant?
The people below the stage finally reacted:
"Holy crap, forty-nine Third-level Beasts in total. Does his family run a beast pet shop?"
"I thought the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros was ridiculous enough, but I was wrong—terribly wrong!"
"I always thought this guy was just posturing, but he actually has the capital to back it up!"
"Haha, ahaha, this bet is going down the drain again..."
"..."
Cheng Yunhe stood frozen in place; he had always been conceited, and besides Shen Lin, there was no peer he acknowledged.
But today, his worldview was completely shattered.
He suddenly felt like a frog in a well, thinking that even the greatest Geniuses in the world were only at Shen Lin's level.
But now, an Advanced Tier 1 beast tamer had shattered his understanding, mashed it together, and then completely pulverized it.
From now on, if anyone called him a Genius, he would turn hostile.
As for the main person, Shen Lin!
He was still in a state of speechlessness.
His so-called beast group battle meant his own Three Beasts fighting, not against dozens of Subordinates.
Although... it seemed... it also counted as personal strength.
But... it's so frustrating!
3 against 49?
Some Yao Beasts were even Third-level Tier 5.
How the hell are we supposed to fight?!
Before the fight even starts, they'd be buried under a mountain of skills.
"I acknowledge your strength, and I can admit defeat, but I'm still not convinced.
Can you use more conventional means and truly fight me?"
As the first-year chief of Lingchuan Academy, when had Shen Lin ever felt so aggrieved?
He could lose, but he wouldn't allow himself to lose so pathetically.
Chen Fei was silent for a moment, then withdrew the 49 beasts. "As you wish!"
"Buzz, buzz—"
Shen Lin only heard the sound of wings flapping.
Then, one after another, Third Generation Gu Worms flew out from the Sacred Codex Space.
More and more appeared, dense and packed, filling the entire space above the Betting Stage.
Looking across, one's gaze couldn't even penetrate the layer of insects.
If the 49 Third-level Beasts from before had made Shen Lin and the crowd gasp.
Then now!
They were utterly stunned!
They felt as if their worldviews were being overturned.
The insect race is naturally prolific, and Insect Cultivators have always been terrifying existences.
However, the energy and resources they consume are also more than an average person can afford.
The appearance of tens of thousands of Third-level Tier 1 Gu worms truly witnessed Chen Fei's power.
"I know Insect Cultivators are strong, but this is beyond ridiculous. Otherwise, everyone would just go and raise insect races."
"The reason it's so ridiculous must be that this big shot is willing to throw money around!"
"Exactly. It probably cost hundreds of millions of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to raise them to this scale, right? Just thinking about it is terrifying!"
"This is the first time I've truly seen what a pay-to-win player looks like..."
"..."
Numb, Shen Lin withdrew his Three Beasts.
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but that it was simply impossible!
If these tens of thousands of Gu worms were A-Aptitude, he might still have been able to put up a fight.
The problem was, these Gu worms were all S-rank, and they were the relatively powerful Crystal System Gu worms.
How to fight? Just ask yourself, how do you fight that?
It would have been better to face those 49 beasts from before; at least he wouldn't have lost so pathetically!
The most terrifying thought was that this was only one of his pets.
What about his other two beast pets? What kind of terrifying existences would they be?
The moment he withdrew his beast pets, it meant he had admitted defeat.
His skills were inferior; there was nothing more to say.
Shen Lin handed the soul suppressing iron to Huo Ming and left without looking back, taking Cheng Yunhe and the others with him.
The others sighed with emotion: "It's not that Shen Lin isn't strong, it's that his opponent is too abnormal!"
"Who was that just now, the one who said they'd drink chili water while doing a handstand? Step forward!"
"Exactly, hurry up!"
"..."
After Chen Fei collected the soul suppressing iron and 40 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, he asked the crowd:
"Is there anyone else who wants to bet? Even if you're three or four tiers higher than me, it's fine!"
In their speechlessness, the audience rolled their eyes at Chen Fei one after another...
