302: Chapter 302 A Dead End

"Hmph! You certainly have a way with words!"

Midland's gaze turned cold. "If it weren't for my good upbringing, I would truly be provoked by your nonsense!"

"Provoked? You think this is some kind of provocation tactic?"

Chen Yi shrugged. "I'm just stating an obvious fact! If your strength is lacking, admit it; if you're being beaten, stand tall!"

He had roughly figured out this person's strength; overall, it was still not worth mentioning.

Letting Black Rose join the battle would basically end it.

The reason he didn't instantly kill the opponent was because Chen Yi felt this person seemed to know something.

Otherwise, generally speaking, as the only SSS-Rank Beast Tamer in the country, possessing countless resources, he shouldn't stoop to robbing others—

Just as the two were exchanging sarcastic remarks.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

In the distance, several powerful auras approached rapidly through the air, landing on several tall wind-eroded rock pillars nearby.

The newcomers were the three prodigies Midland had visited before—Henry from Britain, Faisal from the Oil Country, and Ivan from Su Country!

They were all followed by their respective contracted spirit beasts, but their auras seemed quite withered, looking as if they hadn't gained much advantage during Midland's robbery.

When they saw the two sides fighting below, especially recognizing one side as Midland and the other as Chen Yi from Dragon Country, who had made a big splash at the Crystal Palace.

Their faces immediately showed expressions of schadenfreude, and they began to discuss animatedly.

"Isn't that Midland? Doing business again?"

"Is he targeting Chen Yi from Dragon Country this time? Hehe, this is going to be a good show!"

"I heard this Chen Yi is quite fierce. I wonder how long he can last under Midland?"

"Last? I think it's unlikely! Midland's six Super Saiyans are no pushovers! Brother Henry, didn't you also fail to last ten minutes back then?"

"Hmph! That's because I didn't want to fight him to the death! If we truly fought with our lives on the line, who knows who would win or lose!"

Henry from Britain retorted with a somewhat ugly expression, but his confidence was clearly lacking.

Their wind breath flowers had been stolen, and the hope of gathering enough to enter the sixth floor was already slim.

Now seeing the rising star Chen Yi about to follow in their footsteps, a dark sense of balance—that 'I'm not the only unlucky one'—spontaneously arose within them.

They were all prepared to see how to go forward and comfort—or more accurately, mock—Chen Yi after he was robbed.

However, as the battle progressed, these prodigies, who were watching with a spectator's mindset, gradually noticed something was wrong.

The situation on the battlefield didn't seem to be Midland crushing Chen Yi as they had expected.

On the contrary!

From being evenly matched at the start to as the fight went on, Midland's six SSS-rank Bloodline Spirit Beast Girls were actually gradually falling into a disadvantage?

On the other hand, the eight spirit beasts on Chen Yi's side coordinated perfectly, their various skills connecting seamlessly, and their grasp of timing was terrifyingly precise.

Moreover, their strength, speed, and defense seemed to be slowly increasing as the battle continued?

Or rather, they were gradually adapting to their opponents' rhythm and finding ways to counter them!

"Something's wrong! Very wrong! Look! Midland's Blazing Lion King is actually being suppressed by that mermaid? Even with elemental advantage, it shouldn't be this ridiculous!"

"More than that! That giant green bird's control over the wind element is actually a notch better than Midland's Sylph? How is that possible? Sylph is an SSS-rank Bloodline! What on earth is that giant green bird?"

"And that 1.5-meter-tall little girl, her strength is simply too overbearing! She can even swallow thunder and shadows? Is this really an ability an SS-rank Bloodline can have?"

"That Nine-Tailed Fox's illusions and Fox Fire are so annoying! Damn, what rank of bloodline is this?"

"That pair of twins' support abilities are too comprehensive! Recovery, purification, buffs, control—simply flawless!"

"---"

Ivan, watching from the side, was even more heart-stricken.

He truly hoped Chen Yi would lose.

After all, he had been humiliated by Chen Yi several times. If someone could make Chen Yi suffer, he would definitely clap and cheer!

But the problem was, logically, there should be a world of difference between an SSS-rank Bloodline and an SS-rank Bloodline...

SSS-rank Bloodlines are usually the unique inheritance of ancient fierce beasts, containing the most primal power of laws, with unparalleled strength.

Whereas SS-rank Bloodlines are mostly manifestations of incomplete or diluted ancient bloodlines, much lower in power level, and should definitely not be mentioned in the same breath...

In the whole world, there are only twenty-eight true SSS-rank Bloodline spirit beasts.

No matter how good Chen Yi's luck was or how many resources he had, it was impossible for him to gather so many SSS-ranks, right?

But why were these SS-rank Bloodline spirit beasts of his able to steadily suppress and beat Midland's SSS-rank spirit beasts?

This scene completely overturned their understanding of bloodline rank suppression!

In the center of the battlefield, Midland's brow also furrowed tightly, the arrogance on his face gradually replaced by solemnity.

He had never imagined that Chen Yi's group of spirit beasts would actually be fierce to this extent.

He had the advantage of bloodline rank suppression and average level suppression, while the opponent only had the advantage in numbers, and only by two people!

With so many advantages, he still couldn't win?

He was even being faintly suppressed by the opponent?

What the hell was this?

Are Dragon Country's SS-rank Bloodlines all prehistoric fierce beasts in sheep's clothing?

A storm surged in Midland's heart, and his previous composure and confidence began to waver.

Seeing his Spirit Beast Girls struggling and signs of defeat gradually emerging, Midland knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and once again put on that condescending expression, saying: "I didn't expect that a minor character like you, Chen Yi, would actually have some skill to be able to push me to this point!"

"Fine, I admit, I did underestimate you before!"

"You are indeed qualified—to have me, Midland of the Gale, personally take action!"

Chen Yi looked at his appearance of clearly having no confidence yet still trying to act tough.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes hard.

How could he have the nerve to say those words about "personally taking action"?

Is his skin as thick as the corner of a city wall?

"Rose, you go. Give this Lord King a piece of your mind and wake him up."

" OK， Owner！"

Black Rose had long been impatient. Hearing this, she immediately nodded, took a step forward, and stood in front of Chen Yi, facing Midland directly.

Midland saw that Chen Yi had only sent out a black-haired woman who hadn't moved before to deal with him.

He was first stunned, and then a more intense look of disdain and mockery appeared on his face.

"As expected, you're at the end of your rope, with no one left to use!"

He sneered in his heart, his disdainful expression becoming even more arrogant.
