Chapter 159 — The Power of the Nine Li Form
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 5 of 6
It abandoned everything in exchange for attack power beyond all limits—and the process would even severely wound the user. In terms of offensive capability, almost no super-tier skill could rival the extreme Converged Edge!
The name of battle beast—well deserved.
"ROAR!!!" The bull-headed beast king resisted with all its might.
The giant thunder palm made contact with it, and violent lightning surged forth, tormenting the bull-headed beast king badly while also blasting apart Eleven's own hardened substance and armor. Fortunately, those things were now completely one with Eleven and could be restored later with Rapid Healing. If it were like a mechanical-type, where damage required costly repairs, Shi Jin would have cried himself to death.
Bang!!
In an instant, the earth caved in, the arena roared, thunder flickered, and scattered arcs of electricity and tongues of fire flew in all directions. The bull-headed beast king, about to give way and be smashed into the ground, wore a tragic expression.
Motherf—, what a scumbag beastmaster. Never cooperating with your assessment battles again.
Who exactly is the one being assessed here?
It was just about to keep cursing when it suddenly realized it had vanished from the outside world and returned to the beast space.
Eleven's palm struck empty air and shattered the arena floor.
Outside.
Qu Lishi had a flash of inspiration. After recalling his beast, his expression was calm and composed as he said placidly, "Not bad. Five minutes are up. Congratulations, you've passed the assessment. You are the most outstanding examinee I've ever tested—not only did you hold out this long, you even nearly forced out more of the bull-headed beast king's power. Your future is boundless."
Rumble.
With a palm striking empty air and a thunderous crash, Eleven stared at Qu Lishi in utter bewilderment. Are you kidding me? Let it back out—it could still fight!
"Uh." Shi Cen was stunned.
In the distance, Hao Ling and the panda father and daughter wore strange expressions.
What did you just say?
It was forced out long ago, obviously!!
Even while Eleven was still in its Converged state, the combat standard had already far exceeded the intermediate assessment!
What kind of examiner would test an examinee with consummate-level skills, combination secret arts, or even super-tier skills?
And besides... they looked toward the corner of the arena, where Chongchong and Shen Baobao were each gnawing on a wedge of melon, their faces twisting in confusion. And of Shi Ying's three beasts, only one had even appeared...
The three of them then turned to look at the trainee examiner Liu Jie beside them.
Liu Jie: ◑_◐ Being an examiner is just too dangerous. Perhaps what I really need to do is cultivate a thick skin like Qu Lishi's?
Shi Yan's Eleven was simply too powerful...
"..." At this moment, Qu Jie's expression remained calm and stubborn, but inside, he was trembling. Damn it, what was going on with this Shi Jin? Were he and his beast both monsters? He had already been outrageous enough during the professional assessment... and now...
Even among high-level beastmasters, he would surely rank in the top tier.
As his other beasts broke through, he would probably soon touch the threshold of "quasi-Master level," enough to barely contend with true Monarch-level beasts.
Now Qu Jie somewhat regretted stepping in personally. Had he known, he would have tossed the assessment task to someone else. A guidance battle... guidance, my ass. He had not managed to keep the situation under his control for a single moment the entire time. What kind of guidance was that?
Right now, he just wanted Shi Jin to take his intermediate license and get out of there fast. He needed to go back and soothe his own and his beasts' wounded spirits.
"So... does that mean I passed?" Shi Tang asked.
Qu Jie's face darkened: "You passed."
You passed, now scram, you pair of monsters!
