123: Attribute advantages no longer exist.

Bai Ye looked at Song San's lifeless expression, thought for a moment, and decided to address his own issue first.

Although saying this now was a bit tactless, that was precisely his goal.

“The matter of Refining...”

“Let's do it tomorrow.”

Song San weakly climbed up: “I'm not in the mood right now.”

After speaking, he hugged the stone and staggered toward the villa on the other side of the beach, looking like a ghost.

Bai Ye watched his desolate retreating figure and shrugged.

It seemed he couldn't rely on him today.

He turned to leave but suddenly stopped.

He noticed something glistening in the sand pit where Song San had just been kneeling.

He walked over curiously, crouched down, and brushed the sand away with his hand.

A palm-sized, crystal-clear scale, emitting a soft blue light, appeared before his eyes.

[Name]: Mermaid Scale

[Quality]: Transcendent Excellent

[Effect]: Listening to the Deep Sea Mermaid's advice.

[Description]: A scale shed by the Deep Sea Mermaid when she was young. Information can be left on it.

“A Mermaid's scale?”

Bai Ye picked up the scale and examined it closely.

This thing seemed to have fallen off when that Mermaid left just now.

As he held the item, a thread of information in a non-human language entered his mind.

Although it wasn't a human language, Bai Ye miraculously understood the meaning.

She roughly said that humans and Mermaids are different, and she also had a Beast Tamer in the past.

It was just that her Beast Tamer had long since perished in time.

She was unwilling to experience the pain of separation again, so she would not accept courtship from any Short-lived Species.

Actually, the lifespan of a Beast Tamer is decent; Legendary Beast Tamers theoretically possess a lifespan of several hundred years.

But they couldn't compare to some Demonic Beasts. Even a Lord-level Magical Beast like the Deep Sea Mermaid has thousands of years of lifespan to spare.

Even Bai Ye couldn't know exactly how old the Deep Sea Mermaid loved by Song San was.

After thinking about it, he put the scale into his backpack.

For now, he shouldn't let Song San suffer another blow. He would return the scale to him after the Refining was finished tomorrow.

He decided to use his phone to replay and check on Xiao Lan's performance first... Inside the Seahorse Cup Arena, the audience's chatter and the commentators' analysis intertwined.

Dozens of emerald green Vine Whips suddenly shot out from behind Xiao Lan, weaving into an impenetrable net in mid-air to meet the fireball spat out by the Flame Lion.

Boom!

The fireball exploded on the net of Vine Whips, and violent flames scattered, scorching the alloy floor red.

The Vine Whip net, seemingly severely suppressed by the attribute, emitted a “sizzling” sound under the burning flames.

The surface developed some charring, but the overall structure remained rock-solid, showing no signs of damage.

“It blocked it?!”

Zhang Kai's smile froze on his face.

attribute Suppression no longer exists?

Although this wasn't the Flame Lion's full-power attack, how could a Intermediate Extraordinary Level Grass-type Demonic Beast take it so easily?

Could it be that this broken flower doesn't just have the Grass-type Attribute?

At the commentator's desk, the two commentators were first stunned, then continued their commentary with exaggerated tones.

“Whoa, whoa, what happened? The Ghost Orchid actually blocked the Flame Lion's attack with its Vine Whips.”

“How can Vine Whips have such strong defense? And the charring on the Vine Whip net is fading away at a visible speed—so fast, too fast!”

Just as the entire venue was in shock, two small figures in a corner of the audience seats were remarkably calm.

Seeing Xiao Lan easily block the attack, Phantom Snow raised her small head and vigorously shook the Fan Sign in her hand.

The large characters “Little Orchid Senior, Second Under Heaven,” written on the sign using Fluorescent Materials, were particularly conspicuous in the slightly dim audience seating.

As for who is First Under Heaven... needless to say, it's naturally her keeper.

Senior Xiao Lan's Vine Whips repair very quickly and contain a large amount of water.

Trying to ignite the Vine Whips with fire is similar to trying to ignite a plastic tube wrapped around liquid—it's time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Moreover, Senior Xiao Lan's repair speed for its Vine Whips under the sun is terrifyingly fast.

Even if they are severed, they can reconnect with other Vine Whips.

Phantom Snow had been tricked by this move countless times when sparring with Xiao Lan.

Xiao Hei nearby saw Xiao Lan on the field was safe and sound, and contentedly lowered her head to continue dealing with the unfinished bucket of Popcorn in front of her.

The Wealthy Ladies who had brought them sofas saw that Phantom Snow was holding a Fan Sign, and they increased the frequency of their mobile phone photos.

The match?

Is it as interesting as a Kitten holding a Fan Sign?

On the field, the Flame Lion, whose attack failed, was also enraged.

It shook its burning mane in dissatisfaction, and the flames on its body burned even fiercer, raising the temperature of the entire arena by several degrees.

“Don't give it a chance to breathe! Use Flame Claw, tear apart that broken net.”

Zhang Kai put away his contempt and shouted with a solemn expression.

At the same time, his Beast Taming Talent assist also arrived.

[Elemental Amplification]

A Panacea Beast Taming Talent that is effective on almost any beast pet.

The Flame Lion exerted force with all four limbs, its body turning into a fiery red afterimage as it lunged toward Xiao Lan.

Its sharp claws, burning with fierce flames, rapidly expanded under the Beast Tamer's amplification, carving several scorching trails in the air.

The Vine Whip net disintegrated, transforming into dozens of flexible Tentacles.

Some, braving the fierce flames, wrapped around the Flame Lion's limbs, restricting its movement.

The others condensed into several sharp Spears, stabbing toward the Flame Lion's vital points like its eyes and snout.

“Roar!”

The Flame Lion's descending claws were tightly bound by the Vine Whips.

The flames all over its body surged, forcing it to break free from the Vine Whips' restraint, while simultaneously swatting away the Vine Whips stabbing toward its vital points with its sharp claws.

But the quantity was simply too great. It could only continuously use Skills to form a Flame Barrier on its surface, burning the incoming vines.

Xiao Lan spread its body to the maximum extent, absorbing Sunlight to allow its Vine Whips to grow continuously.

“Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”

The commentator shouted excitedly.

“The Ghost Orchid contestant, who holds no advantage in Rank, attribute, or support, is actually suppressing the Flame Lion! And it looks like it still has plenty of energy.”

“Heavens, is this still the Ornamental Plant Ghost Orchid we remember?”

Zhang Kai's expression grew increasingly grim.

He thought about how a Ghost Orchid without a Beast Tamer could actually suppress his Flame Lion in a fight.

“Damn it! I absolutely cannot lose!”

If he lost to the Ghost Orchid, he would still become famous, but certainly not in the way he liked.

He would simply become the Ghost Orchid's Stepping Stone.

He gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

“Flame Lion, give it your all! Blood Ignition Burst!”

Blood Ignition Burst is a Talent unique to the Flame Lion species.

It greatly increases the temperature and power of the flames in a short period by Burning Its Own Blood.

It is a Talent that Wounds The Enemy A Thousand Times But Harms Oneself Eight Hundred Times.
