Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 365 - Battle Begins

Chapter 365 - Battle Begins

Adventures and duels were always the hot topic among Beast Masters. The battles between young geniuses might not be as eye-catching and shocking as those between famous experts, but watching the young geniuses battle each other was still very exciting and thrilling.

The preliminary round of the tournament was divided into three arenas and held at the same time. The first round of the knockout round would begin immediately. Village Chief Andy of Fangshi Village would read out the order of the partic.i.p.ants' battles.

The first round of the matches, Lugh and Austin, weren't named, so the two of them sat in the preparation room and looked at the situation on the three battlefields through the huge gla.s.s wall.

The six young Beast Masters whose names were called had gathered at their respective positions. They immediately released their colorful spirit cells and summoned their carefully nurtured source beasts.

"Let the battle begin!" The referee in charge of monitoring the scene immediately blew his whistle, announcing the start of the compet.i.tion.

On the first field, an ordinary-looking female Beast Master commanded her stinger rat to launch a sharp attack at the opponent's horned frog.

The Horned Frog's bulging belly blocked the sharp attack, and it leaped toward the Stinger Rat, which was countless times smaller than it was.

On the second field, a source beast, Tumultuous Gra.s.s, which was made up of roots, coiled itself into a ball, controlling the magic power of the wind to move its gentle body along with the wind to dodge the opponent's attack.

On the third field, a female Beast Master and her source beast, the Crescent Cat, revealed a hint of fear at the same time.

A two-meter-long Scarlet Electric Centipede was dancing with its huge body, its countless feet emitting scarlet electric arcs. It had a ferocious look on its face, intimidating the man and the beast in a terrifying manner.

Battles broke out on every arena. All kinds of source beasts used all their abilities and methods to fight the enemy with their strength.

The Beast Masters also commanded their source beasts to battle with their opponents in a battle of wits and courage. The strength of both sides wasn't much different, and the battle seemed unusually intense.

Lugh looked at them for a while before withdrawing his gaze. The Beast Masters on the field this time were all mediocre in strength. The strongest source beast on the field was the rank 1 Sacrlet Electric Centipede.

Its race's quality had been raised from a high-level commoner to a low-level soldier by its master. However, a source beast with such strength was still not enough for Lugh's Big Mouth.

After realizing that there was no worthy opponent, Lugh retracted his gaze and began to observe the other Beast Masters in the preparation room.

These young Beast Masters were like Lugh, observing the active performance of the contestants outside through the gla.s.s wall. Some were watching with relish, some had solemn expressions on their faces, while others were deep in thought. Their expressions were all different, their personalities were different as well.

Only a few Beast Masters quickly retracted their gazes and sat quietly in their seats, waiting.

Lugh paid special attention to these Beast Masters. After silently memorizing their looks, he retracted his gaze.

Without exception, these people were all young experts. The battle on the stage wasn't of any interest to them. Since Lugh had obtained a few worthy opponents from Austin, he showed some interest in these Beast Masters.

Austin returned to his seat as well. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said in a low voice, "The first batch of contestants are too inferior. It looks like in this compet.i.tion, apart from a few people who need to be careful, the others' standards are generally not high."

"Mm. If that's the case, as long as we're lucky enough to draw lots, our source beasts should be able to maintain a relatively good condition before entering the finals."

Lugh nodded and replied. He was also curious about Austin's improvement in strength. After all, Lugh had never seen Austin fight with a source beast before.

"Ha, is this the standard of this compet.i.tion? It's really disappointing. But that's also true. After all, they are all a bunch of country b.u.mpkins. How can there be geniuses among b.u.mpkins?"

At this moment, a frivolous and disdainful sneer sounded in the quiet preparation room.

A feminine man dressed in a flirtatious manner mocked him with a disdainful look on his face. He was holding a folding fan in his hand, covering his nose and mouth. He was wearing a robe with floral patterns, and there was a green jade pendant on his waist.

The feminine man's specially tidied long hair fell on his shoulders, revealing a somewhat messy beauty.

However, the feeling he gave off on a man was indeed a little strange.

The effeminate man's words instantly attracted the angry gazes of the people around him. Most of the people who came here to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion were ordinary Beast Masters.

The words of the effeminate man, which were obviously filled with disdain for the people from the countryside, instantly attracted the public's anger.

Even Lugh couldn't help but frown as he looked at the effeminate man. Lugh had noticed him before. This effeminate man was particularly eye-catching at the banquet earlier because of his expensive clothes.

At the banquet, the effeminate man sat in a corner drinking alone, but no one was talking to him. Hence, Lugh had noticed this effeminate man at the banquet.

"What did you say?! Who are you calling a b.u.mpkin?"

A burly young man with an obvious bad temper stood up and glared at the effeminate man.

"Oh, you're angry? Saying that you're ignorant country b.u.mpkins makes you unhappy? Looks like you don't understand your lowly nature."

The effeminate man let out a long sigh and shook his head, as if it was unnecessary to talk to this person.

The effeminate man's unconcealed disdain stung these young people's self-esteem. This was the first time Lugh had seen such an arrogant person. These words made the usually steady Lugh feel a little unhappy.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

How could the burly man endure such humiliation? He immediately released his Spirit Spark, and a brown Spirit Spark appeared behind the burly man. It seemed like he was prepared to directly summon a source beast to teach this rude person a lesson.

"Calm down, Murphy. A source beast summoned will be disqualified from the compet.i.tion!"

His companion hurriedly pulled the burly man back and advised him not to act rashly. Summoning a source beast now was tantamount to directly disqualifying from the compet.i.tion. He would definitely be kicked out of the compet.i.tion by the staff.

His companion's dissuasion made Murphy's hot head calm down. In the end, he did not release the source beast in his source beast s.p.a.ce. However, Murphy still glared at the feminine man with his angry eyes. It was obvious that his anger had not subsided.

"Hehe, foolish fool, thank your b.u.mpkin friend for saving your dog life."

The feminine man looked at Murphy contemptuously and gently waved his folding fan in front of his chest.

"We are all partic.i.p.ants in the compet.i.tion. Aren't your words a little too much?"

The cold-looking young man who had been sitting silently at the side could not help but speak. His cold eyes stared straight at the feminine man.

"Is it too much? There are people with high and low statuses. When you meet someone who is more honorable than you, don't you know who you are?

"This young master came to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion today just to have some fun. I don't care about that little bit of prize money at all."

"I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder so that you can recognize your own ident.i.ty."

From the way he was dressed, it could be seen that the feminine man came from an ill.u.s.trious family. From his arrogant tone, it seemed that he had quite a background.

This made the stern-looking young man show a trace of hesitation. He slowed down his tone and asked, "Who are you?"

Pa!

The effeminate man slammed the folding fan on his left palm and held it. He revealed an unruly smile and said, "The Third Young Master of the Modern family in Milky Way City, Duncan!"

"Modern family! Is it the Modern family that specializes in trading source beasts?"

"Oh my G.o.d, that is a famous big family in Milky Way City. I have heard of Duncan before. Rumor has it that this person is famous for taking revenge for any flaws. He is not someone to be trifled with."

...

The surrounding people immediately began to whisper among themselves. The expression of the stern young man who asked the question tensed up. He knew that in front of Duncan's family, he was just a stone by the roadside, so he immediately shut his mouth, even Murphy, who had been very angry earlier, began to avoid Duncan's gaze.

When Duncan saw that the surrounding people immediately became silent after he revealed his ident.i.ty, the look of disdain on his face became even more intense. He thought to himself, 'b.u.mpkins are b.u.mpkins after all, but they are all a bunch of soft bones.'

"Tch!"

Duncan felt a little bored, so he turned around and prepared to return to his seat.
