63: Chapter 63 Life Devouring

At this moment, the entire venue fell into a dead silence.

A crowd of Beast Tamers and spirit beasts stood slack-jawed, staring at Su Taotao in disbelief.

The aura emanating from her was, without a doubt, that of a first-tier spirit beast.

But that sense of dread originating from the depths of their bloodlines followed them like a shadow, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt and fear.

She was heaven-defyingly strong!

"Th—this... what kind of bloodline is this?"

"No idea, I've never seen it before."

"She clearly looks so cute, so why am I feeling terrified?"

"Me too. That inexplicable roar just now almost made me piss myself. This shouldn't be demonization, right?"

The crowd discussed fervently, filled with curiosity and awe toward Su Taotao's bloodline.

Feeling the surging power within her body, Su Taotao herself was somewhat dazed and at a loss.

Is this really her power?

How could it be so powerful?

"Brother Chen Yi, what is this?"

"Your power. How is it? Do you like it?"

"M—my power? But I'm an F—"

Before Su Taotao could finish her sentence, Chen Yi reached out and pressed his hand against her mouth, stopping her from continuing.

He gently patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "See that Pangolin Monster over there? Use it to test your power!"

"Eh? Use it? But that's a Third-rank Demonic Beast..."

"Go ahead with confidence. If I think you can win, you definitely can!"

Hearing this, Su Taotao swallowed hard, seemingly a bit afraid.

However, her gaze quickly became resolute.

In any case, Chen Yi had given her this life; what was there to fear from a Third-rank Demonic Beast?

"Alright, I'll go try!"

Su Taotao took a deep breath and stepped toward the Pangolin Monster.

"Roar—"

Sensing the source of that demonized aura, the Pangolin Monster immediately let out a deafening hiss.

It opened its bloody maw, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged toward Su Taotao.

Its giant claws, carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, slammed down violently, whipping up a gale as if it intended to flatten Su Taotao into a meat patty.

However, Su Taotao stood firmly in place, unmoving.

There wasn't a hint of panic in her golden vertical pupils; instead, a trace of... curiosity flashed through them?

Because in her impression, a Third-rank Demonic Beast facing a first-tier little brat like her...

That would simply be a cat playing with a mouse, a foregone conclusion.

But now, the movements of the Pangolin Monster before her seemed exceptionally sluggish.

Instead, it looked more like... moving food?

Just as the thought occurred to her, a strong sense of hunger surged in her heart.

She involuntarily licked her lips, and a bold idea rose in her mind.

"This Pangolin Monster... it should be edible, right?"

By then, the Pangolin Monster had already rushed in front of her and struck with a claw.

However, Su Taotao was unhurried; with a flash of her figure, she easily evaded the Pangolin Monster's attack.

The giant claw slammed into empty space, and the ground instantly fractured, forming a massive crater as dust flew everywhere.

Taking the opportunity, Su Taotao quickly extended her small hand. A dark-gold light flashed on her fingertips, and a black hole vortex instantly emerged from her armpit, enveloping her within!

Life Drain!

A terrifying suction force, like an invisible giant hand, tightly locked onto the Pangolin Monster, rendering it unable to move.

The surging earth-attribute spiritual energy within its body and the life origin that constituted its powerful defense all began to be forcibly extracted uncontrollably at this moment!

The heavy rock scales on its body also began to lose their luster at a visible rate, becoming gray and brittle.

The surging earth-attribute spiritual energy within the Pangolin Monster and the life origin forming its powerful defense seemed to lose control at this moment, being continuously and forcibly extracted.

The heavy rock scales on its body also began to lose their luster at a startling speed, becoming dim and incredibly fragile.

"Awoo—"

The Pangolin Monster let out a pained and horrified hiss, its body involuntarily staggering backward.

Meanwhile, the aura and pressure on Su Taotao also climbed rapidly at a startling rate at this moment.

From Chen Yi's perspective, her attribute panel instantly rose to a jaw-dropping height.

Name: Su Taotao (Armed Form)

Constitution: 66 (UP)

Spiritual Power: 104 (UP)

One should know that many Second-tier, Tenth-stage spirit beasts did not have constitution and spiritual power attributes this high.

Yet, at this moment, Su Taotao, who was only at the First-tier, Second-stage rank, possessed such startling attributes.

It was truly somewhat ridiculous.

Su Taotao also seemed to sense the massive disparity in strength between herself and the enemy, and she was instantly filled with confidence.

"So strong, is this my power?"

"No wonder Brother Chen Yi said I could defeat this thing—"

At this time, the Pangolin Monster felt its power draining at a startling speed, and its rage was completely ignited.

It lowered its head and, using that spike-covered skull, charged like a battering ram.

However, this time, Su Taotao did not choose to dodge.

Her tiny fist, now wrapped in a layer of deep dark-gold energy, met that massive rock skull and threw a punch!

Bang!

A dull, heavy sound rang out.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering rock, the Pangolin Monster's forward momentum came to a screeching halt.

Its proud, spiked skull actually exploded with spiderweb-like cracks centered on Su Taotao's fist, and it staggered back several steps.

Su Taotao pressed her advantage, activating Life Devour once more.

This time, her goal was no longer to plunder the opponent's power, but to directly take the Pangolin Monster's life!

The devouring force instantly swept through the Pangolin Monster's body.

Under the effect of this devouring force, its hard rock body seemed like marble that had been weathered a million times faster, instantly turning into a pile of gray rubble and fine powder.

As the wilderness wind blew, this rubble and powder scattered and drifted through the air.

A Third-rank Demonic Beast had been killed so easily!

This scene left the other Beast Tamers and spirit beasts instantly dumbfounded.

"No... way?"

"Am I having hallucinations before I die?"

"A first-tier spirit beast can actually defeat a Third-rank Demonic Beast? And win so easily?"

"Too strong! This is simply too strong! This Chen Yi, the second-tier spirit beast he contracted can take on a whole group of Third-rank Demonic Beasts, and the first-tier spirit beast he contracted can also beat a Third-rank Demonic Beast. Does it have to be this ridiculous?"

Even Xue Haiyao, who had been hiding in the shadows ready to strike and had seen countless grand scenes, couldn't help but be shocked.

She had originally been puzzled by Chen Yi's decision to let a First-tier, Second-stage brat challenge a Third-rank Demonic Beast, even finding it somewhat absurd.

But looking at it now, Chen Yi had obviously seen through Su Taotao's strength long ago before making such an arrangement.

Just what bloodline did this spirit beast have? Why were its abilities so bizarre?

Just then, someone seemed to notice something slightly off.

"Wait a minute? Didn't that Chen Yi say he was a Second-tier Beast Tamer? How can he contract three spirit beasts?"
