52: Intense battle, elite high-level (pseudo)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The energy beam, capable of vaporizing steel, slammed fiercely into the bat barrier.

The bat barrier trembled violently as energy bats were annihilated one by one under the impact of the beam.

Yet more bats surged out from within Bai Ye's body, fearlessly rushing forward to replenish the barrier.

"It actually blocked it?"

Zhao Dezhu stared at this scene in astonishment.

Energy that even a mechanical body couldn't withstand was actually carried by Bai Ye's Ghost Orchid.

He had also watched the video of the Sacred Dragon Cup, and that Ghost Orchid's Night Demon Strike shouldn't have been this strong.

Could it be... that it must be done in conjunction with the Beast Tamer?

Bai Ye's face was also slightly pale; this single move had drained one-third of the energy in his body.

"Stronger than I imagined."

The energy beam lasted for a full dozen seconds before gradually dissipating.

Bai Ye caught his breath and looked at the Mechanical Tyrant opposite him, which had entered a cooldown state, and grinned.

"Continue!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Ye exerted force under his feet again, actively charging toward the Mechanical Tyrant.

Red alarms flashed on the Mechanical Tyrant's body as it swung its massive metal arm, smashing it down fiercely toward the tiny Bai Ye.

Boom!

Bai Ye did not dodge or evade, meeting it with a punch.

The collision between his fist and the arm erupted with a harsh metallic clashing sound.

Bai Ye was blasted away uncontrollably, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Bai Ye!"

Wang Qian exclaimed, her small face turning pale, and she instinctively rushed forward to heal him.

Her beast pets basically had no combat power, but they were all experts in healing.

"Don't go over there."

Li Feng grabbed her, staring fixedly at Bai Ye lying on the ground, and shouted in an almost roaring voice.

"Trust him!"

Bai Ye leaped up from the ground and patted the dust off his body; apart from a few holes in his clothes, there wasn't even a single scratch on him.

"What great strength."

Bai Ye shook his somewhat numb arm, his eyes becoming increasingly bright.

His own strength was still quite a bit behind the opponent's.

"Since that's the case..."

"Xiao Lan, please help me out."

The arm guard formed by the Ghost Orchid extended a Vine Whip, waving it at Bai Ye to signal that it had absolutely no problem.

It had already almost gotten used to being injured now.

It could work a little harder today to train its Beast Tamer to a higher Rank.

It always felt like the identities of itself and its Beast Tamer had started to reverse ever since the contract.

The Mechanical Tyrant also discovered this suddenly appearing plant; the core in its chest flashed red, and a thin energy beam shot precisely toward Xiao Lan.

Bai Ye actively turned to the side, fully exposing the part of the Vine Whip that Xiao Lan had extended to the beam's attack path.

Sss!

The energy beam hit Xiao Lan's Vine Whip without any suspense.

Xiao Lan's body trembled violently, the light on its petals dimmed for a moment, and with a pop, it turned into specks of light and disappeared.

【Your Ghost Orchid has experienced a crushing battle, was unfortunately defeated, and has now returned to the beast taming space.】

【Triggered Talent: Bond Nexus, has absorbed beast pet attribute: Ghost Orchid.】

Pure grass attribute energy poured into Bai Ye's body once again.

His strength received a negligible increase.

【Name】: Bai Ye

【Rank】: Elite Beginner (101 / 125)

This scene, in the eyes of Li Feng and the others, was completely a bewildering act through and through.

"He used his beast pet as a meat shield."

"No, why did he actively move out of the way just now?"

Zhang Yu frowned, feeling like his brain wasn't enough to process this.

They couldn't figure out why Bai Ye would do this.

Could it be that the Ghost Orchid had some special ability that could allow it to take damage for him?

Having succeeded in one strike, the Mechanical Tyrant seemed to become even more excited, the red lights on its body flashing faster.

Tracks formed under its feet, and it rushed quickly toward Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was not intimidated by it either; what didn't kill him would only make him stronger.

Sunlight flashed on his body, and he met it again to engage in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat with the Mechanical Tyrant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull sounds of impact echoed continuously over the ruins.

He was blasted away time and time again, and yet he kept climbing up from the ground, uninjured, and charging back in.

"Doesn't he feel pain?"

Wang Qian watched the youth who was like an unkillable cockroach, her voice trembling.

That was an Elite Advanced attack.

If it were their beast pets, taking one hit would result in death or severe injury.

Yet Bai Ye had been blasted away over a dozen times and still looked completely fine.

"It's a healing ability; his Ghost Orchid has a very powerful healing ability."

Li Feng said in a deep voice.

"But this recovery ability is too abnormal, right?"

Zhang Yu said: "And energy is conserved; with such high-intensity recovery, the Ghost Orchid's energy consumption must be significant. How can it possibly hold up?"

"I don't know."

Li Feng shook his head; his many years of experience as a Beast Tamer were completely useless today.

The impact Bai Ye had on their common knowledge of beast taming was simply too great.

During a gap after being knocked back, the crystal-clear orchid appeared out of thin air on Bai Ye's shoulder again.

"Xiao Lan, are you ready?"

Xiao Lan's leaves swayed gently.

The Mechanical Tyrant seemed to have remembered this little thing as well, and another energy beam shot over.

By the way, it absorbed the sunlight on Bai Ye's body.

There was no other way; the sunlight in the Secret Realm couldn't fully unleash its talent, so it had to sponge a little from its Beast Tamer.

Fortunately, its Beast Tamer had plenty of sunlight inside him; if it used it sparingly, it could fight for an entire day.

Bai Ye repeated his old trick, sending out Xiao Lan's Vine Whip once again.

Xiao Lan turned into specks of light and dissipated once again.

A warm current poured into Bai Ye's body once again.

"Twenty-three more times to go."

Bai Ye felt the strength in his body increasing once again, and the smile on his lips grew wider.

"What exactly is he trying to do? What kind of tactic is this?"

The tactical team couldn't figure it out, nor could they understand it.

They could only assume that the Ghost Orchid knew how to use the high-level skill "Substitute" to block some attacks that might injure Bai Ye.

The third time...

The fourth time...

The fifth time...

Whenever Bai Ye was knocked back, he would summon Xiao Lan and let it be defeated by the Mechanical Tyrant once.

Afterwards, Bai Ye's Aura would grow stronger by a fraction.

He had completely adapted to the Mechanical Tyrant's attack rhythm.

He no longer needed to passively take hits; he was already able to execute some countermeasures.

His fist, radiating green light, landed on the Mechanical Tyrant's hard metal body, leaving a clear punch mark.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

The Mechanical Tyrant's analysis detected the opponent's changes, and its attacks became even more frenzied, completely disregarding the consequences.

The metal parts on its body were merely consumables; as long as there were enough raw materials, it could produce them without limitation.

As long as the core was not damaged, no matter how much damage the external metal sustained, it couldn't truly hurt it.

Countless gun barrels extended from all over its body, and energy shells poured down toward Bai Ye like raindrops.

The roaring sounds of explosions resounded throughout the Secret Realm ruins.
