40: self-inflicted sin

The Talent of Ultrasonic Wave is incredibly powerful, especially after upgrading to basic level, its lethality is even more potent.

Under Lin Tianwei's continuous attacks, in just half an hour, he took the lives of three more mutated beasts.

However, his luck was not good this time, and he did not acquire any powerful Talents.

Only a Poison Resistance (unranked) could barely be considered usable.

However, the Talent level was too low to resist even slightly potent poisons.

Before upgrading, it was merely a useless ability.

After using this Talent, Lin Tianwei accumulated the remaining useless Talents and Talent fragments.

He believed that one day, he would find a use for these materials.

Just as Lin Tianwei was preparing to hunt again, with a loud clang, the gate was opened once more.

As Lin Tianwei wondered which unfortunate soul was going out to die this time, he was surprised to find that it was his own cage that was moving.

In just one day, he was actually going to participate in two battles consecutively?

This was simply not treating a tiger like a tiger!

He looked down at the wound on his chest.

Under Lin Tianwei's intentional control, although there was no serious internal damage, the wound still looked gruesome and terrifying on the surface.

There was even some Infection and pus.

Some white powder on it was the medicine Hector had sprinkled.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tianwei finally consumed energy and began to heal his injuries.

This condition would somewhat affect his combat power.

At a critical moment, it could be the most crucial link in determining victory or defeat.

Anyway, with his thick tiger fur providing cover, these humans would find it difficult to observe his injuries.

Returning to the Arena, this time, Lin Tianwei's opponent was the crocodile Totar.

A formidable opponent with a record of fifty-eight consecutive victories.

His grayish-brown scales appeared incredibly sturdy.

Clearly, his defense was frighteningly high.

The only pity was that Lin Tianwei's claws had not yet grown out.

Otherwise, he could have tested whether his claws were sharper or its scales were tougher.

But it didn't matter, Lin Tianwei still had even sharper teeth!

He would surely be able to bite Totar to pieces.

The battle was about to begin.

Crocodiles are, after all, more adept at water combat; on land, they are more cautious.

Facing the Siberian Tiger, the king of the forest, Totar chose to defend stubbornly.

Its body slowly retreated, moving directly to the vicinity of the wall.

Although this would limit its speed, it would also reduce its defensive pressure.

Responding to all changes with no change was its method of attack.

Lin Tianwei was somewhat surprised by Totar's performance.

He thought to himself, no wonder it was able to achieve so many consecutive victories.

Many times, it's not creatures with powerful attack capabilities that survive.

Instead, it's those creatures with extremely high defense and extreme caution.

Just like this crocodile in front of him.

It basically wouldn't initiate an attack.

This way, it could both conserve its stamina and fully utilize its powerful defensive advantage.

However, such a creature, once it encounters an enemy capable of tearing through its armor, will be utterly defenseless.

Undoubtedly, Lin Tianwei was such an enemy.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei quickly ran in front of Totar.

He observed it with a playful gaze, considering where to launch his attack.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tianwei decided to attack Totar's eyes.

This was perhaps the only weak point on its body surface.

Although he had no claws, Lin Tianwei's palm strength was equally formidable.

If it struck the crocodile's fragile eyes, it would definitely be able to burst its eyeballs.

Facing Lin Tianwei's attack, Totar merely closed its eyes.

It protected its eyes with its thick eyelids.

At the same time, its short, stout limbs exerted force, and its body shifted horizontally, moving beneath Lin Tianwei.

It blocked the attack with its thick back.

Bang.

Lin Tianwei only felt as if his tiger paw had come into contact with steel, receiving a powerful counter-shock.

If not for his robust physical constitution, he might even have sustained minor injuries.

Totar, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, opening its Giant Maw.

Its mouth was filled with dense, sharp teeth, and it quickly snapped at Lin Tianwei's hind leg.

The crocodile's attack methods were relatively simple.

But once an attack landed, it was devastating.

With such a good opportunity, Totar naturally wouldn't let it slip away.

However, wanting to attack Lin Tianwei?

Then Totar was a little too naive.

The tiger paw slammed down again.

But this time, Lin Tianwei's speed was faster, and he managed to pin down Totar, who was about to attack.

He immediately pressed down its freshly opened Giant Maw again.

Giant Maw Seal!

At the same time, Lin Tianwei lowered his body, directly using his full body weight to press down on Totar's body.

This way, it completely lost one of its offensive weapons.

Totar, suppressed by Lin Tianwei, began to struggle frantically.

It wanted to break free from Lin Tianwei's restraint.

However, under Lin Tianwei's terrifying Strength, it could only move within a small range.

It simply couldn't break free.

Instead, its thick, sturdy tail thrashed wildly.

It wanted to attack Lin Tianwei, but due to the limitations of its body structure, it could only rage impotently.

Seeing Lin Tianwei suppress Totar in just one round, the audience in the live stream erupted.

“Whose general is this Siberian Tiger? How can he be so valiant?”

“That’s Totar, with fifty-eight consecutive victories, and he’s being directly pinned to the ground and rubbed.”

“It seems another king is about to emerge in the Beast Arena.”

“Are you all a bit too optimistic?”

“Totar is only suppressed on the surface.”

“In fact, with this Siberian Tiger’s pitifully low attack, he can’t break its defense at all.”

“Exactly.”

“Anyone who regularly follows Totar’s battles knows.”

“Its suppression is completely normal.”

“However, the one who laughs last will still be this terrifying crocodile!”

“With just a severely injured Siberian Tiger?”

“It’s simply impossible to win!”

“Perhaps Totar won’t even need to act; he might just worsen his injuries from overexertion and die directly.”

“Don’t you know the Research Institute’s usual behavior?”

“These mutated beasts that fight consecutively are all just cannon fodder!”

“I believe we will soon enjoy a bloodthirsty feast with Totar as the protagonist!”

...As some viewers familiar with Totar said, Lin Tianwei was now in trouble.

Although he seemed to have Totar suppressed, he was constantly expending stamina.

Most importantly, his proud attack, when striking Totar, failed to break its defense!

Instead, just like at the very beginning, it made his tiger paw ache from the shock.

It made Lin Tianwei feel like he was fighting a hedgehog.

Perhaps it was time for him to upgrade his attack power.

The unranked Strength Enhancement alone was simply insufficient for him to deal with increasingly stronger enemies.

Especially after losing the aid of his claws, his attack power had plummeted to its lowest point.

But fortunately, Lin Tianwei still possessed another deadly weapon.

That was his incredibly sharp teeth.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei opened his Giant Maw, revealing his fangs.

He bit fiercely at Totar's tail.
