Beast Taming Patrol

"I admit defeat!"

A somewhat panicked voice echoed throughout the massive competition arena spanning hundreds of meters.

As a contestant in the preliminary competition shouted in disarray, the sharp dark silver spear blade suddenly halted at the tip of his nose. Even without any force emanating outward, the glint of the spear tip, shining bright with an intimidating cold light, still made the contestant feel the threat of death looming over him.

A drop of cold sweat involuntarily gathered on his forehead, trickling down from the tip of his nose.

He unwittingly raised his head to meet the icy, murderous gaze of the young man opposite him and couldn't help but shudder.

How... how terrifying.

"Thanks for the match." Lin Su calmly retracted his Shadow Spear, turned, and left the arena,

Qiuqiu and Ghost, who had swiftly subdued the opponent's two beast pets, quickly stopped and followed him.

Knowing that Lin Su still had more important things to do, both Qiuqiu and Ghost went all out in the battle, just to finish the fight as quickly as possible.

The second match on the first day of the preliminary competition's knockout round ended in a blink of an eye, with an overwhelming victory that allowed other Beast Tamers witnessing the match to fully realize the formidable strength of a Beast Tamer named Lin Su from the Yongnan City Beast Taming Union.

Of course, Lin Su didn't pay much attention to this.

Having returned to the seats of the Yongnan City Beast Taming Union, Lin Su sat next to Mu Yuxing and pondered deeply.

He still hadn't thought of a reasonable way to avoid revealing his weaknesses to Han Wang after returning to the Blue Star and to successfully use Seven Mysterious Feather to kill his opponent.

Even if he let Ghost help by bringing Seven Mysterious Feather back to Blue Star, Lin Su would need to summon Ghost first before he could take out the Seven Mysterious Feather from its trick pocket.

And Han Wang would obviously not give him such an opportunity.

Lin Su also wondered whether he could feign weakness and put on an act, pretending to be afraid and offering precious resources as pleading, and in doing so, reach for the Seven Mysterious Feather.

But when thinking from the enemy's perspective, it was clear that such a plan would never work.

For Han Wang, as long as he used Enchanting on Lin Su, all Lin Su's secrets would be his. So, would he be interested in Lin Su's resources and treasures before using Enchanting?

Clearly, he would not be interested and would instead detect Lin Su's abnormal behavior.

Therefore, a more secure method was needed, one that wouldn't raise his guard.

"You performed quite well." Mu Yuxing nodded slightly, apparently quite satisfied with Lin Su's performance in the arena, "But next time, don't let the pets train too hard before the battle. This time it was only a fracture, but next time, if the injury is more serious, we may not be able to heal it immediately."

"Understood, senior." Lin Su nodded, looking at Mu Yuxing.

The excuse of Qiuqiu's fracture due to excessive training was naturally something he came up with to hide the truth.

The preliminary competition's first round of eliminations lasted four days, with an average of a dozen or so contestants from the Yongnan City Beast Taming Union needing to participate each day.

However, there was no one else like Lin Su who had entered the stage right at the start.

Seizing the moment when Mu Yuxing was unoccupied, Lin Su hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Senior Mu, have you heard of a beast species called Nightfall Witch?"

This was Han Wang's last beast pet, and Lin Su was certain he had never heard of this species anywhere before.

Still, he wanted to inquire about it, to see if there had been any omissions when he was learning about different species.

If he could understand the opponent's pet in advance, the planning would be that much more secure.

Having spent a lot of time with Mu Yuxing, Lin Su could infer from the bits and pieces he shared that Mu Yuxing seemed to have traveled many places when he was younger, and was quite knowledgeable about the world outside of the Great Yan Kingdom, including some regional beast species.

Perhaps, he could give Lin Su a surprise.

"Nightfall Witch?" Mu Yuxing frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before shaking his head slightly, "No, I haven't. However, I've heard of a beast species called Little Night Witch, a high-ranking leader of the Dark and Spirit types. I'm not sure if it's related to what you're asking about."

Dark and Spirit types?

Lin Su raised an eyebrow.

Little Night Witch was also a species he hadn't heard of.

But judging by the name and attributes, there seemed to be a significant similarity between the two.

Could it be that this Nightfall Witch was an evolved version of the beast called Little Night Witch?!

"Senior, what Talent Skills does Little Night Witch have?" Lin Su couldn't help asking.

"Talent Skills..." Mu Yuxing's voice paused slightly, and after a moment of thought, he spoke, "Little Night Witch has three skills, the core skill Nightfall, the Talent Skills hypnosis and Shadow Ball. Among them, Nightfall is a specialized skill similar to Cold Frost Dream Domain, which is also a kind of Spirit attack skill."

"Why are you suddenly interested in this?" Mu Yuxing asked with interest, "Little Night Witch isn't found within the borders of the Great Yan Kingdom, so you won't encounter one in this preliminary competition."

"No reason, I just happened to hear about it and wanted to learn more." Lin Su forced a smile, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

The three skills of Little Night Witch did not include the hypnosis skill he had anticipated.

The Nightfall Witch had used its powers very sparingly, displaying only the most common Telekinesis Talent Skill of the Telekinesis type and the hypnosis skill that it used in the end to put Lin Su under hypnosis.
