Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1458 - 411: Battle Against the Number One Disciple of the Three Sects

However, such prospects are exceedingly rare; even the Lin Venerate, despite being the most proficient in the space system, was unable to accomplish it.

"This is not difficult to confirm; it is absolutely the truth." Lin Venerate spoke with a calm demeanor, his eyes wandering toward the horizon before he let out an involuntary exclamation of wonder.

In the following instant, a vivid scene manifested within the Sect Master’s pavilion.

"Impressive, Lin Su and that young fellow Tang Youran are engaging in a spar." He gave a light chuckle, his voice tinged with a sense of anticipation.

"This..." Liu Changxuan had foreseen that a duel between them was inevitable, yet he hadn't anticipated they would clash the very morning after reaching the Qianling Sect.

Nevertheless, this served as an excellent opening for him and the other immortals to gauge the depth of Lin Su's abilities.

At this moment, an expectant look crossed Liu Changxuan’s face.

A disciple spar generating this much excitement was something he had never experienced before.

...

"Brother Youran, what format do you propose for our spar?"

Standing atop the dueling platform of the Qianling Sect, Lin Su posed the question.

"Hmm..." Tang Youran paused to reflect for a moment before replying, "While I am eager to test the strength of Guardian Beast Co-operation, I am aware that once you deploy that technique, Brother Lin, I likely wouldn't stand a chance against you."

"Therefore, why don't we jump straight into a group battle?" Tang Youran suggested, "Let all our pet beasts strike simultaneously."

"Oh?"

Lin Su’s eyebrow twitched upward, and the five small creatures behind him radiated interest.

"I have no objections to that," Lin Su said with a shrug. "However, Brother Youran, I have two pet beasts occupying a single contract slot. This means I have one more beast than you, which seems somewhat unfair."

"I am aware of that," Tang Youran answered with a composed expression, hiding the fact that he had been completely stunned when Zhao Xuantong shared this news with him the previous night.

"How about this," Lin Su suggested after a brief thought, glancing toward Tang Juran. "Let Brother Juran’s Time Qilin Deer participate as well. That way, the number of pet beasts on both sides will be equal."

"Me...?" Tang Juran, who had been content to merely watch, blinked in surprise at being pulled into the fray.

"If that is the case, let’s go with Brother Lin’s plan." Tang Youran did not argue further.

Having grasped the extent of Lin Su’s prowess, he understood the situation clearly.

When facing Lin Su, the probability of securing a victory was slim.

Even though there were limitations when commanding beasts that weren't his own, the two brothers had been raised together and shared a strong bond.

It was also fortunate that these two Time Qilin Deer were siblings from the same litter.

Consequently, there would be little difficulty in directing them.

In addition to the two Time Qilin Deer, Tang Youran possessed three other pet beasts, all of the space system, each appearing quite formidable.

Following their short discussion, this unique confrontation began.

"Tata, start your chant! The rest of you, create a diversion to buy it some time!" Lin Su commanded immediately.

"Yes! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Understood!)

Tata gave a quick nod, its eyes flashing with a brilliant five-colored radiance. A massive surge of spiritual power wrapped around its frame as it began to intone. The energy of the world seemed to be pulled in, converging rapidly behind it.

This marked the first combat encounter since it had gained offensive capabilities, and its four companions were there to secure the time needed for its incantation.

With this goal in mind, Tata did not hold back, immediately preparing its most powerful attack—the Fourth Movement: Holy Judgment.

The other four little ones moved in unison.

Youyou’s silhouette blurred as it shifted into its War Spirit Form. Gripping a long spear and twisting its lithe frame, it charged toward the most powerful of the three space system beasts. Eleven phoenixes of varying hues manifested behind it in rapid succession.

Trailing like the tail of a comet, the eleven phoenixes caught up to Youyou, dissolving into its body one by one.

With every phoenix that merged, Youyou’s presence surged with power.

By the time the final phoenix integrated, Youyou’s aura was staggering, as the weight of eleven different rules bore down upon the space system pet beast.

Sensing the imminent threat, the space system beast tried to shift its position to evade the lethal strike. However, Yinying and Yingying fused instantly, and a dark purplish-red Hell World expanded outward, freezing the enemy's movements in their tracks!

The suffocating pressure also weighed down the other two space system beasts. Realizing the danger, they tried to teleport toward Tata to break its concentration.

In terms of mastering space system rules, Yinying was already superior to its opponents. Now, with the Hell World active, the entire platform had become its personal domain.

In a flash, a tide of Hell World denizens and Judgment Red Shadows erupted, aiding Yinying and Yingying in pinning down the two space system beasts!

On the opposite side, Qiuqiu let out a fierce cry, engaging both Time Qilin Deer at once.

One against two!

The essence of the time system swirled around the three beasts. The flow of time became erratic as the river of time manifested, and the three time-based creatures entered a high-intensity struggle.

During its previous encounter with Tang Juran’s Time Qilin Deer, Qiuqiu hadn't exerted its full power, preferring to study the opponent's techniques.

Now that Tang Youran’s stronger Time Qilin Deer had joined, Qiuqiu felt the genuine weight of a two-on-one fight.

This was exactly the kind of pressure it craved.

With a roar that shook the heavens, the Three Ages of Mirror behind Qiuqiu ignited.

The past and future versions of Qiuqiu stepped forth from the glass, causing the very world to tremble.

The battle was joined!

The future avatar from the Future Mirror possessed combat strength at the imperial level. However, its core relied on future energy, which meant it could be strategically countered using the rules of the time system.

Across from it, the Time Qilin Deer brothers showed no signs of fear. Instead, their eyes sparkled with excitement; they had never imagined such a unique method of borrowing power from the future.

Just as Qiuqiu was learning from them, they were gaining insight into new applications of the time system from Qiuqiu!

"Boom!"

Amidst a swirling vortex of energy, the two Time Qilin Deer smashed into Qiuqiu’s Three Ages of Mirror form!

A moment later, Qiuqiu emerged confidently from the dissipating storm.

In that blink of an eye, they had traded countless blows, but ultimately, Qiuqiu stood victorious!

Simultaneously, Youyou’s spear was leveled at the lead space system beast, while the other two had already been neutralized by Yinying and Yingying.

Tata’s chanting stopped abruptly.

It stared at its four companions in total confusion.

Is this what you meant by "buying me time"?!

The four little ones looked at each other, sheepish expressions on their faces.

The opponents had fallen too quickly; they had simply forgotten.
