Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 285: Ranking Battle

It was only natural that he had lost so thoroughly.

Hmm… should I try challenging Brother Su later in the second round?

Lin Ye’s face showed a bit of eagerness to try.

He was the one who knew best about the strength of Lin Su’s two pets, having sparred with both of them before. After a rehearsal, he felt that there was still hope of defeating Lin Su.

It might be worth a try.

Of course, before that, they needed to present a united front.

First, they had to knock the Yun Family down the rankings.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye’s gaze flickered slightly as he looked at one person on the Yun Family’s stone pillar.

Yun Mu, have you actually broken through to the complete Meridian Opening Realm or not?

As the disheartened Lin Hong recovered from his frozen state, the commotion at the Lin Family’s side was nearing its end.

With two consecutive losses, Lin Hong had completely lost the will to keep trying and did not challenge again, while Lin Yue, who had also lost to Lin Su, gave up after failing to defeat Lin Heng, not being a match for the others on the stone pillar.

The battles on the Yun Family’s side were even more intense since they had eleven participants, more than twice the number of stone pillars, and with Zhenzhen of the Nayuan Realm and Yun Mu of the complete Meridian Opening Realm present, it was essentially nine people vying for three pillars.

In the end, disciples from both families gave up on further challenges, signaling the complete end of the struggle for the ten stone pillars.

The first round of the martial meeting ended with ten qualifications for entering the Secret Realm being decided.

Standing on the stone pillar, Lin Su let out a slight sigh of relief.

Anyway, the goal of entering the Dawn and Dusk Secret Realm had been achieved.

Next, it was all about improving the rankings as much as possible.

For him, its importance wasn’t too great; he just had to do his best.

As the first round ended, the ten stone pillars in the arena slowly shifted due to the mechanisms, some raising and others lowering, finally aligning in a high to low sequence.

Zhenzhen, seated cross-legged atop her stone pillar, just so happened to be in the first place, with five from the Yun Family occupying the first five spots, and the Lin Family the last five.

Although it was just the initial ranking, the Yun Family obviously had some advantage having secured the higher ranks early on.

Each martial meeting between the two families saw the stone pillars raise on the side according to their combined strength; this time, with Zhenzhen having reached the Nayuan Realm, the Yun Family naturally had a higher overall strength than the Lin Family, hence their pillars were raised while the Lin Family’s were lowered.

Next, starting from the lowest stone pillar of the Lin Family, each disciple would challenge the one above, swapping places if they won, and remaining if they lost.

The stone pillar where Lin Su stood was the eighth, so there were two Lin Family disciples ahead of him yet to challenge; his turn hadn’t come yet.

The moment the movement of the stone pillars ended, Lin Heng, standing at the tenth spot, leaped down and after sweeping his gaze across the five Yun Family members, quickly fixed it on the fifth, “I challenge you!”

The Yun Family members were observing the Lin Family disciples, and the Lin Family disciples were doing the same, hence Lin Heng knew very well how the strength of these five measured up, and he chose the one he was most confident against.

The expression of the fifth person from the Yun Family changed slightly, but he quickly stepped down, and between the surges of vitality, the fight began instantly.

The fifth person from the Yun Family used a longbow, nearly immediately as he stepped down, he drew his bow, releasing countless arrows toward Lin Heng while trying to increase the distance between them.

Each arrow, tinged with a wispy blue chill under his Yuan power, even dropped the surrounding temperature rapidly.

Facing the ranged attacks from Yun Family’s fifth person, Lin Heng displayed his full strength at this moment. He casually planted his halberd in the ground, drew a pair of short daggers from his hands, and with elusive movement techniques, dodged the arrows and quickly closed in on the Yun Family’s fifth person.

After a stalemate, Lin Heng finally pressed a dagger against the opponent’s back, ending the fight.

Challenge successful.

Lin Heng retrieved his halberd, expression neutral, and leaped onto the fifth stone pillar without giving a second glance at the very distressed Yun Family fifth person.

Ranked ninth was a female disciple named Lin Ting.

Following Lin Heng’s successful start, Lin Ting also stood up and challenged the fourth person from the Yun Family.

Lin Ting used swordsmanship, while the person from the Yun Family used archery.

Although she managed to parry countless arrows, she lacked the means to close in, and she was kited by the fourth person using archery, ultimately having to give up as her Yuan power ran out.

Challenge failed.

It was Lin Su’s turn.

Due to Lin Ting’s failure, the Yun Family’s top four had not changed positions, giving Lin Su the chance to challenge any of them.

His gaze quickly passed over Zhenzhen, who was seated in first place; he scanned from the second to the fourth before finally settling on the third person from the Yun Family.

“I challenge you.”

“Tsk.” The third person from the Yun Family, a somewhat short and thin male disciple, muttered under his breath in dissatisfaction when Lin Su’s gaze landed on him, “Just targeting me because I don’t use a bow, huh?”

Lin Su just smiled slightly without responding.

Among the five from the Yun Family occupying the stone pillars, only this guy didn’t carry a longbow on his back and hadn’t shown any skills with a longbow, using a pair of short daggers instead, similar in some way to Lin Heng.

Lin Su chose him indeed with this in mind.

Having witnessed Lin Su’s display of strength just now, this third person from the Yun Family couldn’t claim he was sure to win, but he didn’t show any signs of cowardice, proclaiming, “Bring it on! Let’s see how strong this Beast Tamer really is.”
