Lord of Pets - Chapter 91

Chapter 91: The Legend of the Scarlet Flame Witch

In the living room, Bai Wushang was surprised.

“They’re in the same training ground?”

“That’s right!” Ouyang Yuan pointed at Sha Buru. “Here, this big brother is here. He saw it with his own eyes!”

Sha Buru frowned and gloomily said, “That’s not all. Besides these two, there are at least 40 late-stage Spiritualist cultivators. Oh my god, there were Asura fields everywhere. I didn’t even dare to leave the cave…”

“It was that bad?!”

Bai Wushang felt as if he had been electrocuted.

He had thought that he had been through a lot in the past 15 days.

Why did it sound like the other side was in an even more miserable state?

“Brother Bai, you just returned. The news might not be coherent yet, but many students who left halfway have already spread the news.”

“Then… what happened? With so many competitors together, it should have been a mess, right?” Bai Wushang was curious.

…

“…” Ouyang Yuan and Sha Buru looked at each other and revealed complicated emotions at the same time.

“Brother Bai, what I’m going to say next might sound a little exaggerated, but… it’s really the truth. Listen to me calmly.”

“Okay!”

Seeing how serious he was, Bai Wushang couldn’t help but straighten his posture.

The demonic ape at the side couldn’t completely comprehend, or rather, completely understand.

However, through observing the atmosphere, Ah Zhou realized that the exchange seemed to have reached a crucial point. He could not help but hold his breath and concentrate even more as he listened attentively.

“Let me tell you the results first. Luo Youyuan was eliminated on the ninth day, and then… I’m afraid that only one person who survived in the end in the No. 1 Arena was… Zhu Qin!”

“? ? ?”

Bai Wushang unknowingly swallowed his saliva, and he was a little speechless.

What the h*ll…

Only one person?

Was this… possible?!

Ouyang Yuan glanced at Bai Wushang’s expression. Then, he clicked his tongue and said, “Brother Bai, Sha Buru and I have been collecting a lot of gossip over the past few days. We have obtained bits and pieces of clues from the group of students who were eliminated from the No. 1 Arena. By piecing these bits and pieces of information together, we have basically gotten the whole story of what had happened.”

“According to my information, no one in the No. 1 Arena had seen Zhu Qin for the past five days. However, from the sixth day onwards, Zhu Qin appeared.”

“Do you know what her pet was? You would never have thought that it was a ‘Fire Jade Devil Spider’!”

Bai Wushang’s eyes twitched in disbelief. “Isn’t that a transcendent creature at the mature level? How was she able to form a contract with it???”

“That’s right! A creature that’s at the fully mature level!” Ouyang Yuan’s eyebrows danced. “That’s because from the moment Zhu Qin appeared, she was no longer a peak Spiritualist Master. Instead, she was an early stage Soul Servant!”

“She didn’t contract a pet beast that was at the youth form stage at all. Instead, she directly contracted a mature form early stage Fire Jade Devil Spider!”

“Holy sh*t…”

Bai Wushang was a little short of breath. Such explosive news was really hard to digest.

After being stunned for a moment, he immediately asked, “Don’t keep me in suspense. Quickly explain what’s going on.”

Ouyang Yuan waved both his arms and took out a fan from somewhere. He fanned the thin sweat on his forehead crazily, and the flames of gossip were about to overflow from his eyes.

Ouyang Yuan said, “Let me tell you, that woman is a super invincible freak. Many people suspect that she found some kind of heavenly treasure the moment she entered the arena, and used it to break through the Soul Power stage.”

“Breaking through the Soul Power stage is actually useless, right? At most, it can increase the strength of her physical body. In principle, it’s very difficult for a bare-handed Master to rely on her physical body to fight against a transcendent creature of the same level… But, what if she has the bloodline talent?”

“Bloodline talent…”

Bai Wushang couldn’t help but think of Situ Chi. He thought of Situ Chi’s bloodline talent, ‘Cloak of Invisibility’. It didn’t seem to have any lethality, but it was bizarre and impossible to guard against.

It could be said that every bloodline talent was a treasure to a certain extent, and everyone yearned to have it.

“I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s not far from the truth. She has a fire attribute bloodline talent, and it’s at least a middle-grade one at that!”

“It’s definitely because of the existence of the bloodline talent that she was able to easily subdue the Fire Jade Devil Spider. Then, the No. 1 Arena was where she began her legendary story…”

Ouyang Yuan looked up at the sky at a forty-five degrees angle, his eyes absent-minded as he muttered to himself, “According to incomplete statistics, out of the 100 people in the No. 1 Arena, at least half of them were defeated by Zhu Qin. It was almost as if she single-handedly defeated everyone… Many people said that when she appeared, her red hair fluttered in the wind, and the flames attached to her body did not damage her clothes. Her beautiful eyes were burning with raging flames, and it looked extremely mystical.”

“Some people compare her to an elf born in flames, while others describe her as a shining sun. Wherever she goes, there will be a sea of fire, and wherever she steps on, there will be scorched earth… In short, no one can get close to her!”

“Aren’t your adjectives a little too ridiculous?”

Bai Wushang couldn’t help but interrupt him. They were all of the same age, so why did he look like he was about to become a god?

“Brother Bai, it might be an exaggeration, but it’s not just one or two people who are saying these. Most people described her as such, including Brother Sha. He saw it with his own eyes, so I have to believe it.”

“That’s right. I saw it from afar. There really are flames on her body. It’s very strange. It’s like… It’s like a human-shaped torch.”

Sha Buru’s vocabulary was a little poor, but his expression was extremely fearful. He continued to describe, “Moreover, this woman is extremely violent. She doesn’t think or care about anything. She brought the Fire Jade Devil Spider and attacked humans whenever she encountered them.”

“She’s obviously a flame but her personality is as cold as ice, and she rarely speaks. She didn’t care about anything and directly took down the Masters. If it wasn’t for the rules of the trial, I suspect that a large number of people would have been killed by her…”

“Also, rather than saying that she was ruthless, it would be better to say that she didn’t care. How could a beast in youth form block that Fire Spider’s casual attack? It was already a blessing if they could survive. Even so, many people’s pet beasts were killed… sigh. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and crushed the distress talisman when I saw her. I didn’t try to struggle, or else I would have been sent home…”

Bai Wushang was stunned.

This Zhu Qin… was so strong!

Ouyang Yuan continued and added, “That Luo Youyuan, the pet beast that he had contracted isn’t weak either. It’s at the pinnacle of the youth form stage, a 7-star Mortal Bone level Jaguar. He’s definitely the best among the new students. However, he couldn’t even last a minute against Zhu Qin and was almost killed…”

“Additionally, a few students just returned from the No. 1 Arena two days ago. According to them, Zhu Qin has been hunting everywhere and has already turned the arena upside down. The forest is filled with flames and there’s no place to hide. I reckon that no one will be able to last until the end.”

“How many transcendent creatures have died because of her? It’s simply too crazy! The rules of the arena allow hunting, but it can’t be played like this either. This is destroying the ecology, leaving no way out!”

“Now, the news has spread throughout the first grade, including many older students. The evaluation of Zhu Qin has been fiercely discussed by everyone. She is without a doubt the king of rookies… Those students who were defeated by her but survived, their fear of her is far greater than their hatred towards her. Someone has given her a name, ‘Scarlet Flame Witch’. It’s quite appropriate!”
