194: Chapter 194: Six Main Beast Pets Join the Battle!

The lingering echo of the first round's victory had yet to disperse when the second gate deep within the Colosseum opened with a boom.

A shadowy figure slid into the arena as silently as a ghost.

It was a cat-like Vicious Beast covered in dark purple fur, with a sleek body and agile limbs. A pair of amber vertical pupils flickered with cunning and mockery in the dim light.

[Second Round of the Colosseum, Commencing!]

[Opponent: Phantom Tracking Cat (Ancient Vicious Beast, Rank: 7th Rank LV210)]

"Meow~"

With a playful cry that made one's scalp tingle, the Phantom Tracking Cat flickered. Ripples seemed to spread through the air, and in an instant, three identical dark purple cat shadows appeared in the arena!

Three pairs of amber vertical pupils locked onto Lu Chen simultaneously. Like lightning, they lunged from three completely different directions with a shriek that tore through the air!

[Phantom Clone]!

Creates 2 physical Clones.

If the main body dies, the Clones dissipate.

An ordinary Beast Tamer facing this triple encirclement, which was indistinguishable and lightning-fast, would likely have been flustered, needing to spend a great deal of mental effort to discern and test them.

However, Lu Chen merely curled the corners of his lips, revealing a knowing smile.

"Clones? In the face of absolute strength, they are nothing more than a laughingstock."

He couldn't even be bothered to use the [Eye of the Ringed Heavens] to distinguish them carefully. With a slight movement of his mind, he shouted, "Number Two, it's up to you! Hellfire Claw Wolf Pack, go play with them!"

"Roar—!"

The Void-Eye White Tiger let out a majestic tiger roar, and its massive SSS-Rank legendary beast aura swept out like a storm!

Its newly awakened [Time Void Eye Domain] talent fluctuated slightly, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze for an instant.

At the same time, accompanied by countless ferocious wolf howls, the Hellfire Claw Wolf Pack, which had already evolved to A-Rank, appeared out of thin air like a torrent rushing out from the lava of Hell!

Their bodies were wrapped in dark red hellfire, their sharp claws glinting with cold light. Like a disciplined army, under the command of the Void-Eye White Tiger, they split into three groups and lunged with pinpoint precision at the three high-speed moving cat shadows!

Clones? No need to distinguish!

With the terrifying numbers and indiscriminate coverage of the million-strong wolf pack, truth and falsehood were meaningless!

"Meow?"

The three Phantom Tracking Cats (including the Clones) clearly hadn't expected their opponent to use such a brutal and unreasonable tactic. That playful cry instantly changed, turning into panic.

Their pride and joy—their speed—seemed pale and powerless in the face of the wolf sea tactic.

Pop! Pop!

Almost the moment they made contact, the two Clones were like punctured bubbles. Under the tearing of countless Hellfire wolf claws, they didn't even last half a second before dissipating into specks of light.

The remaining real body, despite having a thick health bar, also fell into the crazy siege of the wolf pack. It was left in a sorry state, its dark purple fur scorched black by the hellfire, struggling to defend itself.

"It's over." Lu Chen ordered calmly.

The Void-Eye White Tiger's eyes flashed with void light. Its massive tiger body turned into a bolt of white lightning, instantly piercing through the wolf pack. Its [White Tiger Myriad Void Claw], containing the power of tearing, slammed down fiercely!

"Meow—!"

A shrill and unwilling scream rang out. The real body of the Phantom Tracking Cat was swatted away by a single claw, crashing heavily against the invisible barrier of the Colosseum before sliding down limply, motionless.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Phantom Tracking Cat, passing the second round of the Colosseum!]

[Obtained: domain fragment X1!]

A fragment flickering with illusory light fell into Lu Chen's hand.

"It seems this 8th-Rank advancement mission isn't as complicated as I imagined."

Lu Chen weighed the second fragment, his tone relaxed. "At this rate, I can easily complete all ten rounds in less than a day."

The Colosseum didn't give Lu Chen much time to rest.

The third gate rose with a heavy roar.

A scorching and violent aura rushed towards him!

"Awoo—!"

Amidst the deafening roar, a giant lion with a majestic build and mane like burning flames charged into the arena!

At the end of its thick, long tail, a mass of ceaseless crimson flame burned. Every time it lashed out, it brought scorching air waves into the atmosphere.

[Third Round of the Colosseum, Commencing!]

[Opponent: Furious Flame-Tail Lion (Ancient Vicious Beast, Rank: 7th Rank LV210)]

The Furious Flame-Tail Lion's scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Lu Chen. Without any testing, it launched a charge directly!

[Berserk with Battle] talent: Attack speed and critical hit rate increase as HP drops by 10%!

"Awoo—!"

During the charge, a layer of blood-colored aura suddenly ignited on its body, as if its wounds and anger were stimulating its ferocity. Its speed suddenly increased, and its sharp claws grabbed fiercely with a burning wind!

Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged, composed. "Number Three, it's yours! Crimson Flame King Falcon, burn it to ashes!"

"Screech—!"

A clear and majestic Phoenix cry rang through the Colosseum. Number Three, the Abyssal Vermilion Bird, spread its wings, which blotted out the sky, with the deep Abyssal Fire and Crimson Flame flowing around its body!

The SSS-Rank divine bird's might was in no way inferior to the previous White Tiger!

At the same time, the sky seemed to be ignited!

Countless Crimson Flame King Falcons that had evolved to S-Rank descended like a meteor shower of fire!

They were even larger, their feathers like blades, and the burning flames appeared as a deeper crimson-gold!

Facing the Furious Flame-Tail Lion's reckless lunge, the Abyssal Vermilion Bird didn't even dodge, flapping its wings violently!

[Abyssal Flame Vortex]!

Like a vortex of fire from the abyss, mixed with the power of spatial distortion, it instantly swallowed the Furious Flame-Tail Lion!

"Awoo?!"

The Furious Flame-Tail Lion's blood-colored aura, in the face of the higher-level Abyssal Fire, was like meeting a natural enemy; it was instantly suppressed and annihilated!

Its proud "Berserk with Battle" mechanism became a laughable joke in the face of absolute damage that instantly evaporated most of its health.

It didn't even have time to stack its berserk state!

The Crimson Flame King Falcon pack, like loyal guards, circled around the Vermilion Bird. Fiery feathered arrows poured down like a rainstorm, completely sealing off all possibilities of retreat or struggle for the Furious Flame-Tail Lion.

Amidst shrill wails, the Furious Flame-Tail Lion's massive body was burned to charcoal and crashed to the ground.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the Furious Flame-Tail Lion, passing the third round of the Colosseum!]

[Obtained: domain fragment X1!]

The third fragment was in hand.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. Having passed three rounds, his beast pets hadn't even used their full strength; it was easy and effortless.

"It seems that as long as I proceed step by step..."

Before he finished speaking, light gathered in the center of the Colosseum, and a fourth figure slowly condensed.

It was not a Vicious Beast, but a human figure!

He wore ancient armor, his face was resolute, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, and his whole body exuded a calmness and pressure belonging to a top-tier Beast Tamer, completely different from the previous Vicious Beasts.

[Fourth Round of the Colosseum, Commencing!]

[Opponent: 8th-Rank Ancient Beast Tamer · Lai Gang]

Lai Gang's gaze swept over Lu Chen, his voice low and full of Battle Intent: "I am the Strategic Beast Tamer, Lai Gang! Kid, you will witness the true strength of an Ancient Beast Tamer!"

Hum!

Light flickered. In front of Lai Gang, three massive figures appeared simultaneously—they were the Iron-Wall Rock-Armored Beast, the Phantom Tracking Cat, and the Furious Flame-Tail Lion that Lu Chen had encountered before!

The three formed a standard tactical formation: the Iron-Wall Rock-Armored Beast in the front, the Furious Flame-Tail Lion in the middle, ready to strike, and the Phantom Tracking Cat hidden on the flank, waiting for an opportunity.

"An Ancient Beast Tamer? It seems there is more than one job-transfer race other than the Blue Star Human Race!"

Lu Chen was slightly surprised.

Immediately, Lu Chen recalled the Hellfire Claw Wolf Pack and summoned only his six main beast pets, preparing to see the strength of an Ancient Beast Tamer from another race.

At this moment, Lai Gang waved one hand, and his active talent aura effect unfolded: "Using their own way to treat them! Triple Summoning Aura!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In Lu Chen's slightly stunned gaze, the figures of the three beast pets in front of Lai Gang blurred, and then their numbers began to skyrocket wildly!

One Iron-Wall Rock-Armored Beast became six!

One Phantom Tracking Cat became six!

One Furious Flame-Tail Lion became six!

A full eighteen Ancient Vicious Beasts, exuding 8th-Rank Elementary fluctuations, formed a larger, more rigorous battle formation, guarding Lai Gang in the center!

Furthermore, a faint Domain radiance began to permeate from every Vicious Beast!

Although Lu Chen didn't care about a single Domain, the eighteen Domains overlapped and resonated, forming a composite Domain force field that made the air in the entire Colosseum viscous and heavy, as if space were imprisoned!

Lai Gang stood proudly among the beasts, his voice like a great bell, resounding through the Colosseum: "I am a Strategic Beast Tamer. The more enemies there are, the stronger my combat power! Your beast tide will become the cornerstone of my victory!"

Facing this sudden change in rules and an enemy army that held an advantage in both numbers and Rank, the relaxed look on Lu Chen's face finally receded a bit.

He exhaled gently, and instead of fear in his eyes, a more intense fighting spirit ignited.

"Triple the number? 8th-Rank? Domain effects overlapping?"

He muttered to himself, then the corners of his mouth hooked into an arrogant arc.

"Great Green! Number Two! Number Three! Number Four! Number Five! Number Six! Tear them apart!"

Following Lu Chen's shout, six pillars of light of different colors, but all exuding earth-shattering auras, shot into the sky from behind him!

The Azure Dragon roared, the White Tiger tore through the sky, the Vermilion Bird burned the world, the Giant Whirlpool Alligator Turtle defended, the Demon Mastiff shook the earth, and the Bone-Eroding Ice Demon Ant froze everything!

The six main beast pets, for the first time in the advancement mission, all appeared together!

Lai Gang's expression changed for the first time.

He felt the Bloodline pressure coming from those six beast pets.

Lu Chen stepped forward, his voice clearly spreading throughout the Colosseum:

"Numbers, in your eyes, are an advantage."

"In my eyes, they are nothing but... worthless rabble!"

"Crush them!"
