Arena. Destined for Defeat?

Chen An could not help marveling at the fact that this young beauty was actually a three-star Beast Tamer. It seemed she was not only rich but also had exceptional talent.

Dou Buxiang was nudging him by his feet, seemingly pleading for something.

Chen An carried him into his arms. Dou Buxiang was no longer an abandoned, filthy beast in the street now. It smelled good all over and looked extremely adorable.

"Do you want to go?"

He had not forgotten that Dou Buxiang was also a Combat Beast, regardless of how lousy it was in fighting. As a Combat Beast, it would long for combat. It was their life mission, after all.

…

No. 714 Beast Taming Arena.

Chen An looked up, and the splendorous decor of this place dazzled him. Just as he walked into the place, he heard a loud clamor in the huge and spacious arena.

"This is your first time here. This place is very crowded and messy. You have to follow me closely." Lin Yingxue walked in front of Chen An, turning to him from time to time.

Chen An followed behind her closely.

Firstly, they had to register and verify their identities. Next, Wu Wu had to go through an examination. Last, they verified Lin Yingxue's Beast Tamer grade. At last, after a long time, a battle was arranged. They passed her a card and told her to get ready.

On the card were the competition time, arena number, and other details.

To Chen An, the process was similar to that of a pre-flight departure. However, countless Beast Tamers were coming in and out of this place. They were immersed in the battles' shouts and cheers. Thus, everything felt very different.

It was more formal and made people feel nervous.

It was only when Lin Yingxue entered the competition ground according to her number, and Chen An was seated at the audience stand, that he felt more at ease.

Lin Yingxue was considered a beauty with an attractive figure. He did not know if the matching system did it on purpose, but it had randomly matched her with an ugly and lecherous-looking hunchbacked old man.

At the sight of Lin Yingxue, the man laughed. "Hey, little girl, you are wearing a skirt. Please, don't cry if you have a wardrobe malfunction."

Lin Yingxue shot him a glare. "You must be at least a two-star to be arranged as my opponent. Yet, you're that low-class. Disgusting."

Suddenly, he straightened his hunchback, lifted his head, and yelled, "Two-star? Little girl, you are looking down on me. I'm a four-star Beast Tamer!"

That voice shook the entire venue. Chen An quickly held onto Dou Buxiang, which was hiding in his clothing, to calm it down.

Lin Yingxue covered her ears with a pained expression.

At that moment, a dog clad in steel armor jumped out. It opened its salivating mouth and pounced on Lin Yingxue.

Chen An heard someone in the audience exclaim, "This is Wang Wang's Evil Grimsteel Dog." It seemed that the beast was quite famous in this arena, and its name did not sound friendly.

Chen An immediately reminded Lin Yingxue, "Don't cover your ears anymore. Summon Wu Wu quickly. Watch out! In front of you!"

Lin Yingxue then shook her head and raised her arm. "Come out, Wu Wu!"

Golden patterns appeared, crawling and spreading on her arm at lighting speed. They were the same as those patterns in Wu Wu's eyes.

The Evil Grimsteel Dog continued to pounce on Lin Yingxue aggressively.

Just as its hot, salivating tongue and filthy mouth were about to bite Lin Yingxue, she turned and gave the dog a hard kick on its limb.

Her opponent did not give up and intensified his attacks. He immediately changed his attack moves and threw out an iron chain toward Lin Yingxue's feet.

Lin Yingxue leaped in the air and dodged it.

His evil dog collaborated with him closely. It jumped at the same time and aimed its big mouth at Lin Yingxue's slender neck.

"Wu Wu!" Lin Yingxue immediately summoned Wu Wu. A golden flash streaked across as she continued to turn around and kick the dog on its head.

Lin Yingxue supported herself with her hands on the ground and leaped up swiftly, landing with a squat.

"Little girl, you're fairly good. However, you're too naïve. Do you think it'll be your turn after dodging my first round of attacks?" Although his beast had failed twice, Wang Wang did not seem to have any intentions to stop attacking.

The Evil Grimsteel Dog suddenly barked, and the steel weapons on it clanged non-stop.

The ground froze, and frost cracks were spreading quickly beneath its paws.

Lin Yingxue was completely in a passive mode. She ducked the cracks together with Wu Wu while the frost persistently chased her. She could only run away from them and had no time to retaliate.

"Hahaha, little girl, you should know what is called a mad dog by now, right? Mad dogs hold on to humans and bite and tear them constantly!" Wang Wang continued with his attacks. He waved both his arms and lashed out his iron chain, which had sharp and poisonous spikes on them, at Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue did not manage to dodge in time and was hit at the shoulder. It was so painful that tears almost rolled down her eyes. Her red clothing had also been torn. It hung on her body like a broken cloth and made her look unkempt.

She could not continue dodging the attacks forever. Lin Yingxue focused on the frost on the ground with a firm gaze in her eyes, seemingly waiting for the evil dog to launch an attack on her.

"True enough!" Lin Yingxue grabbed the opportunity and punched the dog's head with her fist. The golden shine on her arms dazzled, and she beat the head of the dog till bent. "Golden silk, lock!"

Immediately following that, Wu Wu skimmed toward Wang Wang at lighting speed. Golden lights burst and engulfed Wang Wang in the blink of an eye.

The audience cheered. "I didn't expect this little girl to be that formidable. Her beast is also not bad!"

"That's right. She is one star below Wang Wang. Yet, she can perform that well. This is definitely a match worth watching!"

However, Chen An did not agree with this. He had an ominous feeling.

Dou Buxiang also stuck out its head and slouched on Chen An's feet, looking at Lin Yingxue worriedly.

Wang Wang had been locked up. Lin Yingxue got up from the ground and wiped away the perspiration on her face with the back of her hands. At last, she caught a breath and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Be careful! Don't let down your guard!" Chen An reminded her.

It was impossible that someone like Wang Wang would allow himself to be entrapped.

Lin Yingxue did not react in time. The voice seemed to be very far from her, and it was difficult to hear it. She only felt very lethargic, and her body refused to listen to her. She was too exhausted to continue fighting.

She had reached her limits and did not notice that the trapped Wang Wang had been using his powers to break a little of his restraints. Then, he broke free and escaped!

"Haha, little girl, you're very interesting. Let me defeat you personally!" The iron chain supported Wang Wang's body and attacked speedily.

Lin Yingxue was unable to evade and the sharp, poisonous spikes magnified in her eyes. What could she do?

"Oo…" There was a loud clang.

Wu Wu was in front of Lin Yingxue. It blocked the fatal strike for her before landing on the ground.

This was a beast adept at swift attacks, so it was an extremely foolish act for it to take the initiative to block an attack.

Wang Wang was quite powerful, and this strike was fatal enough.

The poisonous spikes stabbed Wu Wu's belly, and blood dripped from it continuously.
