Chapter 159 — The Power of the Nine Li Form
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 3 of 6
The overload lightning stored within its Source of Stamina flooded its entire armor, making it stand like a towering thunder god, unparalleled in its dominance—the power of this lightning utterly dwarfed that Thunder Palm from before!
RUMBLE!!!
The astonishing energy burst left Examiner Liu Jie in the stands dumbstruck once more. She had thought Qu Lishi was finally about to turn things around, only to realize it was not so simple...
Congratulations to Qu Lishi for winning the challenge against his opponent's "sealed" state.
Beside her, the panda father and daughter and Hao Ling lit up with excitement—with power like this, it was a waste for it not to go tear a giant dragon apart by hand!
Magnification + Charged Lightning + Thunder Palm + Edge Stored Within...
Nearly a hundred thousand in energy value against the Bull-Head Beast King, sealed at around ten thousand—at this moment, the gap could no longer be bridged by technique. This was absolute power, a tenfold difference; no one could stand against it.
"ROAR!!!!"
In that instant, sensing the immense threat, the Bull-Head Beast King let out a great roar. The master-level trait of Battle Spirit Bathed in Fire activated; the battle spirit drifting behind it possessed it outright, merging into its body. The Bull-Head Beast King's muscles surged, its frame expanded a full size, fire burst from its eyes, and once more it swung a blazing axe strike!!!
BOOM!!!
The air shuddered.
And yet!
That blazing axe strike, which should have shaken heaven and earth, which could have sent the Eleven of a moment ago flying with a single blow, now came crashing down on the armor that hardened Eleven's entire body, and with a dull "thunk," it left not the faintest mark on Eleven at all!!
Instead, the tremendous recoil numbed the Bull-Headed Beast King from head to toe and drove it staggering back several steps!!
Its defense could no longer be broken!
The Bull-Headed Beast King wore an expression of shock, its hands trembling so badly it could barely keep hold of its battle axe.
"This kind of physical toughness—how is it possible—" Qu Lishi said, his face astonished as well.
Nor was Qu Lishi's shock without cause: after evolution, Eleven's physical toughness rivaled that of an Overlord-race dragon, and with the hardening on top of the energy gap, so long as the Bull-Headed Beast King remained in its current state, even a full-power strike was nothing but a gentle scrape against Eleven!
"Awooo!!!!" Even with a fierce look beneath its armor after evolution, Eleven still gave a silly grin. Its turn now, wasn't it.
BOOM!!
The giant Eleven simply swatted down with one palm.
A simple palm strike, yet it carried heaven-toppling power.
Zzzzt, zzzzt—
That thunder-god palm descending from the sky made the Bull-Headed Beast King below, battle axe in hand, change color.
Stupid beastmaster.
What kind of assessment did you call me out here for again?
An intermediate assessment?
And you sealed my power for that?
Are you sure this isn't the ultimate assessment?
Hurry up and give your Grandpa Bull his power back.
Otherwise, I'm about to go from Bull-Headed Beast King to battle-axe steak!!
"ROAR!!!" The Bull-Headed Beast King let out a bellow!!!
Qu Lishi too was stunned by the power this strike might contain.
You call this Commander level?
Without close to 100,000 energy value, there's no way anyone could unleash a skill with this kind of force!
"Take it!"
In that instant, Qu Lishi was forced to unseal a portion of the Bull-Headed Beast King's power, restoring it to a level approaching 100,000 energy value—a level that still counted as the "Commander level" standard, except that where the earlier ten thousand had been the floor, this was near the ceiling.
If he still had to restore the Bull-Headed Beast King to Monarch-level combat power during an assessment, then Qu Lishi might as well stop calling himself a beastmaster and retire!!
This was his last stubborn stand.
BOOM!!!
