Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 97 The Terrifying Power of Sparks

Zhou Xu followed closely behind Wang Jianping, still unable to suppress his curiosity, and asked again: "Uncle Wang, please stop keeping us in suspense."

Wang Jianping suddenly stopped and looked deeply at the lighted battle room at the end of the corridor. He said with a smile, "Our consultant Chen has brought another surprise."

"Chen Yuan?" Zhou Xu reacted instantly, took out his cell phone and found that Chen Yuan had sent him a message an hour ago, but he was in a meeting at the time and his phone was set to airplane mode.

"Just now there was news from the front desk that Chen Yuan came here and wanted to be certified as a mid-level beastmaster." Wang Jianping's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Mid-level Beast Tamer?" Zhou Xu was stunned.

"It seems that you don't know about this." Wang Jianping glanced at Zhou Xu's reaction and said lightly.

Zhou Xu said helplessly: "Uncle Wang, if I knew about this, I would have told you a long time ago."

Wang Jianping did not comment, but stepped forward and said in a steady voice, "Let's go, Xiaoxu, and meet the first intermediate beastmaster of the Baokun City Beastmaster Association."

"Uncle Wang, the authentication has not been successful yet," Zhou Xu reminded in a low voice.

"The fact that you have the courage to come for certification shows that this matter is a done deal." Wang Jianping smiled slightly and strode into the battle room.

Looking around, his eyes fell on the young man sitting on the bench and slowly walked forward.

Xiao Yun, who was pouring tea for Chen Yuan, looked up and saw Wang Jianping approaching. She immediately nodded and stepped aside: "President."

Wang Jianping nodded slightly and took the initiative to extend his right hand towards Chen Yuan: "I have heard a lot about you, Consultant Chen."

Xiaoyun, who was standing aside with her brows lowered, was secretly shocked. As far as she knew, there were more than ten executives in the association, but only two consultants.

It is said that these two consultants are both powerful beastmasters and have made outstanding contributions to the association.

But she never expected that the last beastmaster she received before leaving get off work was one of the consultants.

When Wang Jianping walked into the battle room, Chen Yuan stood up and also extended his hand: "President."

Then, he nodded to Zhou Xu behind Wang Jianping: "Brother Zhou."

Wang Jianping asked, "I heard that you are here to get certified as a mid-level beastmaster?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Then show me your meditation level first." Wang Jianping said.

"Okay." Chen Yuan was secretly surprised that Wang Jianping did things so decisively and had no intention of greeting him at all.

But he liked this kind of leader who got straight to the point, so he quickly found the battlefield. As soon as he thought about it, a white circular pattern with intricate patterns appeared in front of him, and sparks wrapped in white light slowly appeared.

Zhou Xu suppressed his excitement and whispered, "White summoning array, his meditation level has indeed reached the intermediate level."

Wang Jianping clapped his hands lightly, a faint smile on his face: "Advisor Chen, among all the registered beastmasters in our Baokun City, you are the first beastmaster to reach the intermediate level of meditation."

"If your pet also reaches the second level, you will be certified as the first intermediate beastmaster in Baokun City."

Zhou Xu interrupted and said, "President, our association seems to be unable to carry out the certification of intermediate beastmasters for the time being."

Chen Yuan was stunned.

According to Jiang Wenning, certification as an intermediate beastmaster requires pet battles, but there is no other intermediate beastmaster in Baokun City, so who can measure Sparks' true strength?
"Who said that?" Wang Jianping showed a confident smile that showed he had already thought of everything. "Isn't the mid-level beastmaster from the Investigation Department still here?"

"Let's invite him over to have a discussion with Consultant Chen."

"It's a good opportunity for him to see the true level of the Baokun City Beast Tamer Association."

Seeing Chen Yuan's puzzled expression, Wang Jianping simply explained, "An emergency occurred in Baokun City a few days ago, involving a second-level extraordinary creature, and the Investigation Department sent a mid-level beastmaster to resolve it."

After a brief pause, he looked at Chen Yuan and smiled, "But starting today, I think we can handle this kind of incident ourselves."

at the same time,

Zhou Xu asked Xiao Yun, "Is this person still in the rest area?"

Xiaoyun replied, "Room 3 in the lounge area."

"Then you." Zhou Xu shook his head, "Forget it, I'll go and invite him myself."

After saying that, Zhou Xu quickly walked out of the fighting room. Wang Jianping sat next to Chen Yuan and finally began to show concern for him.

"Are you used to living in the mountains? Do you have enough money for daily expenses? Does the duty of a forest ranger affect your meditation and training of pets?"

A series of questions popped up one after another, and Chen Yuan answered them one by one.

Finally, Wang Jianping put down his teacup and asked the most important question: "Do you want to develop in the city?"

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to answer, he continued, "Life in the mountains is certainly leisurely, and I understand your special feelings for your hometown, but as long as you are willing to come to the city, we will help you with food, clothing, housing, transportation and any material needs."

"As for your grandfather, we will provide him with the best elderly care services."

"You only need to do one thing, meditate and train your pet."

Xiaoyun, who was standing by, seemed calm on the surface, but her heart was actually in turmoil.

She had already begun to imagine what a comfortable and carefree life she would live every day if she possessed Chen Yuan's talent.

Chen Yuan shook his head and declined: "President, thank you for your kindness, but I really have no plans to move to the city at the moment."

"My pets will improve faster if they stay in the mountains."

Seeing Chen Yuan's firm attitude, Wang Jianping sighed secretly, but stopped trying to persuade him.

The two of them fell into a brief silence. Fortunately, Zhou Xu's voice soon rang out: "President, Advisor Chen, I have invited Captain Su to come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged. The man called Captain Su was about 30 years old, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, with an ordinary appearance. He could be considered an ordinary passerby in the crowd, and there was nothing special about him.

Su Quan was also looking at the young man in front of him. The two looked at each other and nodded in greeting.

"Captain Su, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but this matter cannot be carried out without you." Wang Jianping shook hands with Su Quan and spoke with a smile.

Su Quan shook his head and said in a steady voice: "I also want to fight with an excellent beastmaster. Even if President Wang didn't tell me, I would come uninvited if I knew about it."

Wang Jianping smiled and made way for him: "So do you want to prepare first, or start right away?"

"I can start anytime." Su Quan said.

"Me too." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Okay, then call the referee and cameraman, and the match will start immediately." Wang Jianping said.

"I understand." Zhou Xu nodded.

After a while,
A camera was pointed at the battle field. The referee in formal attire stood in the middle with a solemn expression on his face. He looked around and confirmed that both sides were ready. Then he raised two flags and said loudly, "Then I declare that Chen Yuan's intermediate beastmaster battle assessment has officially begun!"

The moment the ordinary Su Quan heard the referee announce the start of the match, his aura suddenly changed, as if he had transformed from a rusty sword that could be found everywhere into a sharp blade. His eyes focused, and a white summoning diagram quickly gathered in front of him, and a figure the size of an adult slowly emerged.

Chen Yuan took a closer look and saw that it was an insect-like pet. Its overall body shape was similar to that of a mantis, and it was relatively thin. It was covered with silver armor all over its body, and a pair of giant sickles hung on both sides of its body like scythes.

Chen Yuan instantly recognized the identity of this pet: a silver-armored mantis, with the attribute of steel and a naturally elite quality.

In the information introduction, the silver-armored mantis has a cold temperament and will appear indifferent to anything. But once it enters the combat state, it will take it 100% seriously.

Although the Silver-Armored Mantis looks weak, the silver armor covering its entire body makes it not afraid of ordinary attacks, and it is an expert in close combat.

The thought flashed through his mind. The Flame Cloud Falcon on Chen Yuan's shoulder was already ready to move. It slowly flew in front of Chen Yuan, gently flapped its wings, and stared at the Silver-Armored Mantis with its dark blue eyes.

The silver-armored mantis held a giant sickle in front of it, its light green eyes unusually calm, quietly waiting for the beastmaster's orders.

suddenly,

The voice of the beastmaster rang out in the Silver-Armored Mantis' mind: "Charge Blade."

The moment it heard the sound, the giant sickle in front of the Silver-Armored Mantis suddenly burst into a sharp white light, and then it took a step forward, its figure seemed to turn into a blurred afterimage, and instantly pounced in front of the sparks.

Fast, too fast.

Chen Yuan had just used telepathy to let Spark use the Flame Stream when he saw the Silver-Armored Mantis approaching the latter and slashing the pair of giant sickles from top to bottom. A silver light was reflected in his eyes.

"Chirp!"

The moment Sparks saw the Silver-Armored Mantis appear before his eyes, alarm bells rang in his heart. He reacted very quickly and subconsciously flapped his wings violently trying to fly upwards, but was still hit by the silver light on his wings, and feathers fell off.

"Chirp~"

Enduring the dull pain, sparks still flew upwards. Fortunately, the height of the battle room was more than five meters, so a safe distance could be maintained.

As soon as the battle began, Chen Yuan felt the intensity.

This is completely different from the fact that he defeated Zhang Hao and Shao Yang alone.

Zhou Xu whispered, "Charging Blade is a steel skill. It involves crossing a distance in an instant, approaching the opponent and launching an attack. It is very difficult to avoid."

Wang Jianping nodded to show that he understood.

Zhou Xu looked at the slightly shaky Yanyun Falcon and continued, "Captain Su's Silver Armored Mantis attacks very quickly. Once it launches an attack, it will be like a surging river, not giving the opponent any chance to resist."

"That's how he dealt with the rebellious second-level pet this time."

"Chen Yuan rarely fights with pet beasts, but pet beast battles are commonplace for Captain Su. This battle will be very difficult to fight."

Wang Jianping smiled and said, "You have forgotten our purpose. We don't need Advisor Chen to defeat Team Su. We just need to test the second-level level."

"Next, let's see how he fights back."

While the two were talking, Su Quan had already launched a new round of offensive, telepathically saying, "Silver-armored mantis, use the steel blade to knock it down."

The silver-armored mantis focused its eyes, and suddenly leaped up. Its silver armor glowed like metal under the spotlight, and the giant sickle in front of it slashed towards the sparks!
The moment the silver-armored mantis jumped up, Chen Yuan telepathically said, "Spark, use Flame Surge to repel it."

"Chirp!"

The sparks looked angry, and at an astonishing speed, they gathered into a surging column of fire, which suddenly gushed out towards the nearby area!
Two pairs of eyes stared at each other across the raging flames.

"Don't pay attention to it, keep attacking." Su Quan looked calm. He was confident that the Silver-Armored Mantis's defensive ability was enough to withstand this attack, but if the Flame Cloud Falcon was hit by the steel blade, it would probably lose its combat capability on the spot.

He had made this choice countless times.

Every time, he was right.

boom!
The Silver-Armored Mantis did not avoid or give way to the surging fire column, but just swung its steel blade towards the sparks. However, the next moment, the fire column with extremely high temperature swallowed it up, followed by the crackling sound of the fire burning the armor.

"Something's wrong."

Seeing the thickness of the pillar of fire and the obvious scorching temperature, Su Quan's expression changed slightly and his brows furrowed.

The proficiency displayed by this [Flame Surge] is obviously extremely high.

The pillar of fire gradually dissipated, and Su Quan hurriedly looked up, only to see many obvious burn marks on the silver-armored mantis's body, and a few black parts on the silver armor.

The Silver-Armored Mantis looked extremely embarrassed. It fell heavily to the ground and tried its best to raise its eyes to look at the Flame Cloud Falcon flying above its head.

For a moment, there was dead silence inside and outside the venue.

After a while,

Wang Jianping was the first to speak: "It seems that we underestimated the strength of this Flame Cloud Falcon."

Zhou Xu's eyes kept flickering. He recalled the scene when he first saw the Flame Cloud Falcon. At that time, the Flame Cloud Falcon easily defeated a gray-feathered falcon. It seemed exactly the same as the current situation.

At first, Zhou Xu only regarded Chen Yuan as a talented beastmaster with good luck, and wanted to make him a role model.

But now it seems that Chen Yuan's potential is far more than that.

Although the Flame Cloud Falcon was hurt at the beginning of the battle, Chen Yuan had little experience in pet beast battles after all, and was not familiar with the fighting style of the Silver Armored Mantis, so it was normal for him to suffer a loss.

But what's going on with this flaming surge?
Chen Yuan was unaware of the ups and downs of other people's hearts. The moment he saw the flame surge take effect, he continued to issue orders: "Flame energy surprise attack."

"Chirp!"

The sparks were directed at the silver-armored mantis that fell to the ground. It suddenly folded its wings, flames surged all over its body, and its momentum soared rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Su Quan felt something was wrong, but he remained calm: "Silver Armor Mantis, get up first and use your steel arm."

Now that the Silver-Armored Mantis' body is damaged, it is very difficult for it to dodge the attack, so it can only try to block it.

The Silver-Armored Mantis endured the pain and climbed up. The moment it saw the sparks charging towards it, it crossed its sickles, flashing silver light, trying to block the attack.

Bang!
A roar was heard, and at the moment when the sparks collided and hit the silver-armored mantis, flames all over its body suddenly expanded, hitting the latter with a huge impact force.

The raging flames spread across the entire body of the Silver-Armored Mantis. The overlapping sickles were burned by the fire and hit by a huge impact force, and the defensive posture collapsed in an instant.

When the flames dissipated, the charred silver-armored mantis had already fallen heavily to the ground. It tried its best to raise its head and look at the flames in front of it, but could only see a pair of blue eyes that were as calm as the deep ocean.

The next moment, the head dropped and the Silver-Armored Mantis fell into coma.

[Defeat the second-level pet and get 0.3 source points]

Su Quan fell into deep silence, and Xiaoyun beside him immediately rushed over with a medical kit.

"Chirp~"

Sparks, with a calm face, ignored the scars on his wings and slowly flew back to Chen Yuan's shoulder.
