Chapter 1704 A Strong Wolf

With the improvement from the pill, the Sky Soar Wolf became energetic.

Both Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan could tell that the beast was now bursting with power, and looked eager to fight.

"Ming Aolian and Shu Tian come to the ring!" And just in time, the announcement for the match was heard.

"Go, it is time." Lin Mu said to the woman.

"Alright." Ming Aolian nodded her head. "You two can watch." She said, before taking Ting along with her.

Lin Mu and Ming Dandan found two seats near the back of the seating area since they had come later, but it was no issue for them to watch it. Plus it didn't really affect Lin Mu's ability to use the Nine Divine Heart Sutras.

Ming Aolian appeared in the ring along with her tamed beast while the other cultivator also appeared. Her opponent was a man that was also at the Third Tribulation stage of the immortal realm. He was significantly bigger in size than her and looked to be a physical fighter.

The referee glanced at the wolf and questioned, "Will you be fighting as a beast tamer?"

"Yes!" Ming Aolian answered.

"Then you shall follow the rules for the beast tamers." The referee said before glancing at the opponent, who seemed to be unfazed by the large wolf.

Unlike the normal battles, the rules for the Beast Tamers were different. Since they essentially used their tamed beasts to fight, they couldn't partic.i.p.ate in the fight themselves directly.

They would have to stand in the ring as well, but they couldn't attack or defend. If they could also attack, it would give an unfair advantage to the beast tamer, thus such a rule was set.

Of course, if they were pushed out of the Ring, they would still lose.

Their tamed beast had to protect and fight for them, thus making the fight a balanced one. Of course, if the beast was also defeated, they would lose too. In some ways, the Beast tamers could be said to have both an advantage and disadvantaged.

For example, if one of their beasts got injured but they were fine, they could just use another beast for the next fight. But then again, it wasn't likely that one would have multiple strong beasts.

"Both contestants ready? FIGHT!" the Referee finally announced.

~GROWL~

As soon as the announcement was done, Ming Aolian commanded Ting to attack.

The Sky Soar Wolf was fast and lunged at the opponent right away.

"Do you think a mutt like you can hurt me?" Shu Tian said as he brandished his fists.

They glowed in a yellow light as large gauntlets condensed around them.

~DENG~

The man's fist met the Sky Soar Wolf's claw, letting out a loud sound. But Ting wasn't injured at all. Instead, her fur toughened up, providing her defense.

~WHOOSH~

Suddenly her wings opened up and slapped towards the man.

"What!?" Shu Tian had not expected this and was suddenly struck.

Ting's wings camouflaged well with her fur, making it seem like she didn't even have them.

It was also at this time that Shu Tian felt his mind go blank. It was as if all thoughts that he had were dissipated and he couldn't take a decision.

"Do it now, Ting!" Ming Aolian grasped the opportunity and ordered.

~HOWL~

Ting opened her jaw wide and bit onto Shu Tian. He was effortlessly lifted by the beast as the wolf's wings extended.

~FLAP~

Ting directly flew into the air while Shu Tian came to his senses.

"Argh! Let go of me!" Shu Tian slammed his fists onto the face of the wolf.

But Ting didn't let go, tightening her jaws instead. Her sharp teeth pierced into the flesh of the man, but were still prevented from going too deep. It was evident that the man also had his own defensive techniques that were preventing him.

Otherwise, Ting could have easily bitten off his head in one go.

~WHOOSH~

Ting soared into the air and started to take circles around the ring. Her speed increased more and more, while Shu Tian continued to struggle. But every so often he would feel his will disappear as if he was becoming mindless.

It would only give Ting more chances to injure him, as her bite kept on getting stronger. That and the constant momentum of flight, confused Shu Tian even more.

"Shu Tian is done for."

"The wolf's got him."

"How'd he make a mistake like that, though?"

"I know, right? He was way better in his last fight."

"Not to mention, both of them are at a similar cultivation base."

"Forget that. Didn't you see that the Sky Soar Wolf seems to be ignoring all his blows?"

The audience was animatedly discussing the battle. To them, Shu Tian was a strong warrior and they had seen his previous battles that had all been good. While the Sky Soar wolf had similar cultivation base like him, it was unusual for him to be caught that easily.

Still, since the referee hadn't interfered, it just meant everything was fine.

~GROWL~

Eventually, Shu Tian started to bleed while the fangs of the Sky Soar Wolf dug into his flesh deeper and deeper.

Give minutes pa.s.sed like this, where Ting basically played around with the man like a rag doll.

~CRUNCH~

Finally, a sickening crunch was heard and the referee sensed something.

"Halt! Ming Aolian is the winner!" The referee announced.

"Ting! Bring him down!" Ming Aolian quickly ordered.

"Gruff!" Ting spat out the man, who now had his ribs crushed.

There were two rows of fang marks on his chest and back, while dark red blood spewed out of it. The man had already pa.s.sed out from the injuries and was quickly losing his vitality.

"Healers!" The referee called for people to treat Shu Tian.

"d.a.m.n! That beast did numbers on him."

"For sure I don't think I'd like to face it."

"Who is she though?"

"Don't you know? She's Ming Aolian from the Blue Mountain Palace."

It was clear that the people were now curious about the winner. Which was to be expected as Beast Tamers were still uncommon in the tournament. At least the ones who were strong enough.

A majority of the Beast Tamers were people who simply had a tamed beast to be used as a mount or for fun. They didn't really have them as their main offensive means and fought using their own strength.

People who dedicatedly used Beasts were rare. As it usually meant, they had to have a special talent for this.

After all, it wasn't easy for one to tame a beast stronger than them. And even if the Beast had been raised from a weaker cultivation base to a stronger one, it still put some strain on the mind of the cultivator.

Only those with good skills and talent could control a beast.

There were cases where a tamed beast had rebelled against their master and even killed there. Or the extremely rare case where the bond between the master and beast had reversed, turning the human into the pet instead.

It was something that was rarely seen simply due to the fact that for something to happen, the cultivator would either have to be incredibly stupid or incredibly unlucky.

All this needed a lot of guidance and there weren't that many powers that focused on beast taming.

The Blue Mountain Palace was one of the few powers that did so, having a department especially for them. This was what Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan belonged to, and had been taught by their master, who was also the department head.

"Whoa! She's from the Blue Mountain Palace? No wonder she's so pretty."

"All the women from there are beauties."

"Didn't she come with another woman?"

"Yeah, I think they had the same surname too."

"Ming Dandan was her name."

"Is she a beast tamer, too?"

"Of course, she is."

It didn't take long for the audience to get interested in Ming Dandan as well as the Blue Mountain Place. It wouldn't be unusual for people to consider them for betting when the bets officially started later on.

Still with the fight over, the people started to calm down, the image of Ming Aolian and The Sky Soar Wolf carved into their memories.

"Ting, come back." Ming Aolian said, returning the beast to the storage treasure.

A smile was present on her face, feeling incredibly pleased with the battle.

While it had not been an instant win, she knew once Shu Tian was in the grasp of Ting, the man was done.

'But how did he lose focus that easily?' Ming Aolian couldn't help but wonder. "Is that what he meant by help?" she wondered.

Ming Aolian had no idea how Lin Mu had done it, but the effects were very good. Losing focus in battle like that was extremely dangerous as was now proven by Ting.

She quickly left the ring, eager to talk with Lin Mu.
