Beast Awakening: Evolving Legendary Beasts - Chapter 23
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
‘With Yu Ruyun’s announcement, the duel officially began.
Ji Ren summoned his contracted beast out of his beast space without hesitation.
With that, a small hunting dog with strong limbs appeared in the training ground.
Its fluffy fur was black, and its entire body was emitting a faint red light.
If one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t be able to see the light emitting from its body.
At this moment, it was staring at Chen Nan with its sharp eyes.
It wore an arrogant look, as if no fierce beast was its match.
Chen Nan glanced at it and found that it was slightly different from the first time he saw it.
He immediately looked at the data of the Hound.
[Vicious Beast: Fire Hound]
(Attribute: Fire]
[Level: Low-rank bronze grade]
[Potential: Middle-rank silver grade]
(Loyalty: 84]
[Skills: Lightning Speed]
[Evolution Routes: 5 ]
[Evolution Requirements: … ]
[Description: Has quick reflexes and will not act rashly.]
After reading the data, Chen Nan was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
He did not expect that Ji Ren’s contracted beast had leveled up within a day.
But thinking about it, it was only natural that this happened. After all, who wouldn’t evolve their contracted beast at the first chance?
It was only a given that one would hope that one’s contracted beast would become stronger and stronger!
That being said, Ji Ren’s contracted beast also had an additional skill.
He wondered what the skill was like.
After some research, Chen Nan finally understood that he would only see the skill column if the vicious beast had skills, otherwise, it wouldn’t show up.
It was no wonder he hadn’t seen it before.
Ji Ren was staring at Chen Nan at the moment, so he naturally didn’t miss his fleeting surprise.
Ji Ren’s expression became even more arrogant.
After all, he was the Young Master of the largest Vicious Beast Store in the city.
After the world was rebuilt, his father had founded a Vicious Beast Store.
After several years of operation, the store gradually took became an existence that everyone knew about.
In the store, everything related to fierce beasts was available.
‘There were even some high-grade and precious medicinal herbs as well as a top pharmaceutical team.
The team could develop medicinal pills exclusive for vicious beasts according to their attributes to help them evolve.
After Ji Ren had awakened his Beastmaster talent and possessed a contracted beast, he had specially asked the pharmaceutical team to help him develop a medicinal pill.
After the Hound took the medicinal pill, it had evolved in a short time!
Not only did its strength rise to the low-rank bronze grade, but it also possessed a skill!
This skill was his trump card, and he would not easily display it.
He could just deal with Chen Nan’s trashy contracted beast by moving his fingers. The opponent was not worthy of the Hound’s skill.
Ji Ren looked at Chen Nan with a hint of confidence in his eyes. He didn’t directly mock him.
He wanted to use his strength to completely defeat Chen Nan!
The moment Ji Ren’s contracted beast appeared, everyone in the audience had astonished expressions on their faces.
The seniors who had more experience could instantly see that the Hound’s strength had already reached the low-rank bronze grade.
It was most likely that an ordinary high-rank black iron grade vicious beast would find it very difficult to fight against it.
“He just entered the school and his contracted beast is already at the low-rank bronze grade?”
“Looks like it’s going to be difficult for the other junior to go against him.”
“Hard to say, he hasn’t even summoned his contracted beast.”
“Indeed, if his contracted beast’s level is higher than that of the Hound, then he still has a chance of winning.”
The seniors gathered together and discussed animatedly.
It was very difficult to determine who would win this competition, and at the same time, they were looking forward to seeing Chen Nan’s contracted beast.
As for the people sitting nearby, after hearing the senior’s discussion, they were even less optimistic about Chen Nan’s win.
The seniors didn’t know about Chen Nan’s contracted beast, but they did.
How could Chen Nan’s little sparrow be a match for a Hound?!
Furthermore, its strength was at the low-rank bronze grade.
“There’s no suspense in this competition.”
“T’ve already guessed the outcome. Against a sparrow, any vicious beast can crush it.”
“This is so boring. In less than three minutes, this match will be over.”
“Tm afraid that with a few roars from Ji Ren’s contracted beast, the sparrow will already be defeated.”
The students in the same class as the two spoke with confidence.
They believed that Ji Ren would definitely win this match.
‘When the nearby seniors heard this, they were stunned for a moment and looked at the surrounding people in a daze.
At first, they didn’t know what Chen Nan’s contracted beast was and they were really looking forward to the duel.
But from the conversation they heard just now, they learned that his contracted beast was a sparrow!
‘Their hearts were instantly filled with mixed feelings, and the way they looked at him also changed.
Chen Nan didn’t know what they were thinking.
He first glanced at the Fire Hound, then turned his gaze to Ji Ren.
So this was where his confidence lay.
It had to be said that among the new students, Ji Ren could be considered a genius with his strength.
Unfortunately, Ji Ren was facing him this time.
The result would also change because of this.
Chen Nan withdrew his gaze and didn’t say anything. Instead, he summoned Xiaochi out of his beast space.
A50 cm long bird appeared. It had brown feathers with randomly distributed streaks of red.
‘The outer part of its wings also had a trace of scarlet.
Even its entire body was shrouded in a faint scarlet.
Its pupils were bright and lively, and there were traces of flames jumping about in them.
It emitted a naturally domineering aura and also some pressure.
‘The moment Xiaochi appeared, the students who were watching the competition had a feeling.
They felt that there seemed to be something wrong with their contracted beasts in their beast spaces.
However, they couldn’t describe the feeling, so they didn’t think too much of it.
Instead, they looked at Chen Nan’s contracted beast that was in the arena.
‘The expression in their eyes was a little strange. Why was this sparrow different from what they had imagined?
However, they couldn’t pinpoint how it was different, so they didn’t pay attention to the sparrow anymore.
‘At the same time, Yu Ruyun, who was at the side, keenly sensed the specialness of Xiaochi the moment it appeared.
Even her contracted beast in her beast space was wary of this aura.
It seemed that Xiaochi was definitely not as simple as an ordinary sparrow!
Perhaps it had awakened some bloodline, or perhaps it had evolved.
Yu Ruyun looked meaningfully at Chen Nan.
No wonder Chen Nan had agreed to the duel. It turned out his contracted beast was no ordinary sparrow.
Yu Ruyun frowned slightly. Even if the sparrow was extraordinary, it would probably still be difficult for it to deal with a low-rank bronze grade Hound.
‘The moment Xiaochi appeared in the training ground, Ji Ren felt the pressure from its body as well.
However, the feeling was not strong, so he did not take it to heart.
At this moment, his gaze shifted to Chen Nan, only to see him standing there calmly.
His contracted beast was right beside him. The man and the beast were looking at him indifferently.
Seeing this, Ji Ren laughed lightly. Very soon, Chen Nan would no longer be able to keep up with this appearance.
Right now, he only wanted to defeat Chen Nan as soon as possible, and he even wished to see the Hound tear the sparrow into pieces!
Just thinking about the scene made him extremely excited.
Ji Ren came back to his senses and decisively ordered, “Attack!”
