Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chapter 266: Entering the Finals


After restoring Lei Yao's condition, Chu Chen walked towards the rest area.

Su Lingyan bumped Zhang Yuyan with her shoulder and said, "Your friend's strength is really strong. If he can possess a Domain Prototype, even I might not be his match."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuyan replied with a somewhat solemn expression, "He is indeed very strong."

Although Zhang Yuyan knew that Chu Chen's strength had already surpassed hers, she didn't know by how much. Now it seemed the gap was even larger than she had imagined.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Su Lingyan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan was taken aback, her face slightly flushed, and she shook her head, "I don't think he does. I'm not clear on his personal matters. Why are you asking this?"

Su Lingyan smiled and said, "He comes from Celestial Star City and has no family backing. If he's willing to join our Su Family, I could be his girlfriend. After all, he's not bad-looking, and I wouldn't have to become a tool for family marriage alliances. If he could get the Su Family's support, I believe he would become even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuyan's expression changed, and she looked at Chu Chen, who was walking towards her with a smile. Her heart was suddenly filled with an inexplicable feeling, as if someone was trying to take away something she cherished.

"As a Double S-level prodigy, your family would allow you to arrange a marriage. Maybe you're interested in Chu Chen, which is why you're saying this." Zhang Yuyan said in a deep voice.

Su Lingyan wasn't embarrassed even though her thoughts were exposed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Although the family won't let me arrange a marriage, they will enlist a genius under the guise of marriage. I have no feelings for those few."

"You're only nineteen this year, aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead?" Zhang Yuyan said somewhat helplessly.

"This matter must be addressed early; otherwise, good men will be taken."

The two girls couldn't help but playfully squabble.

Long Batian looked at the confident young man and couldn't help but praise, "This lad is not bad; he definitely has cultivation value. If we can enhance his cultivation talent a bit more, his future achievements might not be lower than Xiao'Er and the others."

Zhao Qianshan immediately agreed, "Indeed, who would have thought he had been hiding so deeply? It seems we underestimated him."

"Yes, once the exchange match is over, bring him to see me."

"Yes."

The next second match was Leng Ningshuang against Fu Tiancheng from the White Tiger Daoist School.

Once both ascended the stage, they immediately engaged in battle without saying much.

Fu Tiancheng's Guardian Beast was the Frost White Tiger, with terrifying attack power, but the Earth Rock Holy Steed's defense power was not weak either.

After just a few rounds of combat, neither could win against the other; helplessly, they revealed their trump cards and fought with all their might.

The Frost White Tiger's domain had a size of fifty meters, while the Earth Rock Holy Steed's domain was sixty meters, and its aura and skill level were stronger.

In the end, Fu Tiancheng was left with no choice but to admit defeat.

The third match was Long Yunxiao versus Shan Lei, the opponent was only an S-level prodigy and had a certain disparity in strength with Long Yunxiao.

After a few rounds of combat between the two Guardian Beasts, the Cyan Wood Wind Python revealed nearly seventy meters domain, prompting Shan Lei to directly concede.

No one had any objections to this; knowing one is outmatched means there's no need to continue wasting time.

Su Lingyan had a bye this round, whether she benefited from Zhang Yuyan's luck or her own fortune, she too experienced the joy of a bye.

Thus, the four finalists of the exchange match were chosen.

The Cyan Dragon Daoist School's Double S-level prodigy Long Yunxiao and A-level genius Chu Chen.

The Qilin Daoist School's Double S-level prodigy Leng Ningshuang.

The Vermilion Bird Daoist School's Double S-level prodigy Su Lingyan.

The Cyan Dragon Daoist School had two from the four finalists, making them the biggest winners.

However, Long Batian was quite worried about the upcoming matches, fearing that Chu Chen and Long Yunxiao would draw each other, which would be unfortunate.

After a brief rest, the semifinal matches began.

The first match was Leng Ningshuang against Long Yunxiao, which made Long Batian breathe a sigh of relief but also worry for Long Yunxiao, as Leng Ningshuang was undoubtedly the strongest based on their displayed strength thus far.

With everyone's focus, the two stepped onto the stage.

Leng Ningshuang's head was slightly lowered, and her cheeks blushed, showing that she felt a bit shy.

Seeing this, Long Yunxiao smiled and comforted her, "No need to be nervous, just focus on the battle. I've always looked forward to facing you."

Hearing this, Leng Ningshuang slowly lifted her head, and the nervousness in her gaze gradually disappeared.

"Since you wish to fight, then let's have a good battle," Leng Ningshuang said softly.

Upon hearing this, Long Yunxiao couldn't help but furrow his brows, but then he switched gears and said solemnly, "You, being the person with the strongest Cultivation Talent among humans, your performance has disappointed me a bit."

Hearing this, Leng Ningshuang was stunned, looking at Long Yunxiao with eyes full of confusion.

Long Yunxiao observed her reaction and said in a deep voice, "You have such a high talent but lack an invincible heart. It's truly a shame."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ningshuang did not reply but stared at Long Yunxiao with eyes that gradually grew firm, raising her head slightly higher and gaining more confidence.

Zhao Qianshan, witnessing this, frowned and turned to Long Batian, questioning in a low voice, "Master, this move by Young Master Long might be unwise. Why would he aid his enemy?"

Long Batian smiled heartily and said, "Yunxiao is considering the future of humanity. Though Ningshuang has immense talent, her nature is too soft and may hinder her prospects as a strong leader. Yunxiao is helping her build confidence and take on her responsibilities. Perhaps after this, Ningshuang's mindset will shift, which would benefit the entire alliance."
