100: A unique talent
After taking root and growing, the Healing Lily used the Skill Lily Flower Shield on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf, which was running on the field.
Though called a shield, the Skill manifested on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf's body as an illusory pattern of lily petals, slowly flowing over its surface.
Red Flame, a five-star Spirit Beast by Luo Yang's side, casually glanced at the Frostwind Spirit Wolf rapidly approaching him.
When the two were less than two hundred meters apart, Luo Yang no longer cared that he was bullying the smaller opponent.
Two fist-sized Flowing Flame Bullets quickly formed beside Red Flame, then streaked with long blue tail flames, shooting rapidly towards the Frostwind Spirit Wolf.
Just as the Flowing Flame Bullet was about to hit it, the Frostwind Spirit Wolf used its Skill, Following the Wind, and its body swiftly darted forward a short distance.
The Flowing Flame Bullet grazed its back and slammed into the ground behind it, forming a large area of ice crystals on the ground.
Although it adjusted its speed in time, the part grazed by the Flowing Flame Bullet still bore large scars.
Its dark blue fur was burned away by an unknown flame, revealing frostbite marks on the exposed skin.
The Lily Flower Shield from various parts of its body converged at the back wound, transforming into a lustrous glow, attempting to heal the injury.
However, the Rank difference was quite significant; it only managed to recover a small portion of the wound's edges before it could no longer sustain itself.
At this moment, after just one Skill clash, the Frostwind Spirit Wolf felt the huge gap between the opposing Beast Master's beast and itself.
But it was still good; it was an Ice-Type Beast Master's beast, and it had a certain resistance to the low-temperature damage caused by Red Flame, so the damage was far less terrifying than it looked.
It looked back at the little fatty behind him, and snowflakes drifted around him, then it charged towards Luo Yang with a massive Frostwind Rapid Blade.
Seeing it turn its target towards Luo Yang, Red Flame roared, then condensed more Flowing Flame Bullets and slammed them down on its path.
The little fatty clasped his hands together, and after this strange action, the flesh on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf's back wriggled, forming the shape of a lily.
This lily was exactly the same as the Healing Lily in front of the little fatty. No, perhaps it could be said that it was that Healing Lily.
Because the Healing Lily that had taken root in front of the little fatty had disappeared.
Luo Chen, below the stage, looked at this strange scene, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity. Is this the talent of a Beast Master?
Two completely different Types of beasts could actually combine in this way; it really was full of wonders.
Luo Yang's eyes on the stage also held a hint of interest, because he could feel that the opposing Frostwind Spirit Wolf's aura had greatly strengthened, probably reaching the level of a four-star Spirit Beast.
This little fatty's talent is quite interesting.
“Red Flame, use Ice Flame True Body, finish this quickly.”
Red Flame nodded, then the ice-blue flames on its body surged, and an Ice Flame Lion King, over four meters tall and composed entirely of Ice Flame, appeared in the arena.
Every step it took left thick ice crystals on the ground; even Luo Chen, sitting in the first row of the audience, vaguely felt the terrifying low temperature.
The now strangely-shaped Frostwind Spirit Wolf fearlessly collided with the Ice Flame True Body.
Although each mutual attack would leave deep scars on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf's body, the Healing Lily on its back would flash with light, and these wounds would immediately be healed.
This combination indeed cleverly merged the advantages of the two beasts.
However, Red Flame licked its paw, then pounced on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf, which was entangled with the Ice Flame True Body.
This was its charged attack; its paw slammed hard onto the Healing Lily on the Frostwind Spirit Wolf's back.
The power of this blow was too terrifying; the Healing Lily's body was torn into pieces by the sharp claws, scattering onto the ground from the Frostwind Spirit Wolf's back.
Perhaps their senses were now shared; the Frostwind Spirit Wolf let out a suppressed and painful roar, collapsing to the ground for a long time, unable to move.
With the attack successful, Red Flame's eyes showed a dangerous glint, and it stepped forward, continuing towards the Frostwind Spirit Wolf, which was sprawled on the ground.
“Contestant No. 6672 surrenders, Contestant No. 7756 wins.
Please take a short break; the next match will continue in fifteen minutes.”
Before the system's announcement ended, the little fatty opposite Luo Yang and the Frostwind Spirit Wolf on the ground had already transformed into phantoms and disappeared.
It was as if the connection to the arena was severed the moment the little fatty surrendered.
Looking at the little fatty, who had a somewhat cowering expression before disappearing, Luo Yang could only silently apologize in his heart for letting such a young child witness such a bloody scene.
Once on the field, they were opponents; no matter who was on the other side, he would go all out, and this was the Illusion World, so it wouldn't truly affect him.
As for the psychological aspect, since he chose this path, these things would eventually have to be faced. If he couldn't accept it, it only meant he wasn't suitable to be a Beast Master who fought outside.
After the little fatty opposite completely disappeared, the audience he seemed to have brought, presumably his family, also vanished. Now, only a few scattered spectators remained in the arena.
Luo Yang rode on Red Flame, then came to the edge of the arena. He waved to Luo Chen, who was sitting, through a glass-like barrier.
“Brother, I won.”
Luo Chen thought for a moment that it was better not to dampen his enthusiasm, “Not bad, very good, but for the next two matches, you still need to be careful not to make a mistake.”
Luo Chen was speaking the truth; sometimes, even if a Beast Master's contracted beast wasn't particularly outstanding, when combined with the Beast Master's unique talent, unexpected results often appeared.
Just like that little fatty earlier, his talent for fusing two beasts could enhance the combat ability of both beasts, even allowing them to contend with the King Beast Breed Ice Flame Lion King for several rounds.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and Luo Yang, riding Red Flame, returned to the center of his left side of the arena.
This time, a young woman appeared opposite him.
Beside her were two beasts: one a butterfly-shaped beast radiating cold light, and the other a three-star Spirit Beast Bone-Spike Spirit Tiger.
Luo Chen focused his attention on the butterfly-like beast.
race: Golden Blade Butterfly
Rank: Spirit Beast three-star

Skills: 1. Fine Steel Body (Yellow-Rank): The Golden Blade Butterfly's entire body is covered in fine steel, possessing great strength and toughness.

3. Gold and Silver Powder (Profound-Rank): Metal-Type elements form tiny powderCrumbs. If the target has a wound, it will enter the bloodstream through the wound, causing negative effects such as poisoning to the target.

It turned out to be the regular evolution of the Fine Steel Butterfly, the Golden Blade Butterfly.
