Chapter 199: Dragon Clan Divisions! The Might of the Beast King
The Thunder Lightning Dragon.
A type of Western Dragon.
Western dragons have a vastly different appearance compared to Eastern dragons.
In the East, those called dragons are all classified as divine beasts.
Below the dragons are Jiao, Hui, and Ran.
Jiao, Hui, and Ran are not divine beasts but can still be considered spirit beasts.
Western dragons, however, have more hierarchical divisions.
From low to high, they are: Earth Dragons, Wyverns, Lesser Dragons, Great Dragons, Chromatic Dragons, and Holy Dragons.
Above Holy Dragons, they are all referred to as 'Dragon Gods.'
Earth Dragons, Wyverns, Lesser Dragons, and Great Dragons are all categorized as magical beasts.
Chromatic Dragons are classified as spirit beasts.
Only Holy Dragons are considered divine beasts.
The Thunder Lightning Dragon contracted by Ba Meng, though classified as a Lesser Dragon, mutated from a young age.
Its body is much smaller than typical Lesser Dragons, with an extremely powerful bloodline and rare thunder attribute, giving it strength comparable to ordinary Great Dragons.
In terms of combat power alone, this fully matured Thunder Lightning Dragon is already comparable to a Level 50 tiered professional.
Ba Meng contracted this Thunder Lightning Dragon primarily to compensate for a lack of agility in escape situations.
Like Mages and Priests, Mechanics are also fragile.
Even with mech skills for protection, if engaged in close combat by an opponent of similar battle level, they would still be at a disadvantage.
So, this speed-famous Thunder Lightning Dragon naturally allowed Ba Meng to minimize the risk of being approached on the battlefield.
At this moment.
After the Thunder Lightning Dragon let out a grief-stricken roar, it charged at Ling Zhan without hesitation.
Magical beasts that can form contracts with humans naturally have deep emotional bonds with their masters.
Ling Zhan could sense the sorrow and despair in the eyes of this Thunder Lightning Dragon.
He gently shook his head.
Slowly extending his hand toward the charging Thunder Lightning Dragon, he suddenly pressed down!
Buzz!!
A wave of Beast King's might poured out from Ling Zhan, instantly enveloping the Thunder Lightning Dragon!
'Beast King's Might'!
An A-grade bloodline talent awarded by the system!
This bloodline talent has no effect on divine beasts.
But when applied to magical beasts, it can have an overwhelming effect!
As expected.
Under the high-level Beast King's might, the Thunder Lightning Dragon instantly prostrated itself on the ground.
Yet its eyes were still filled with resentment and grief, glaring intensely at the human.
It prostrated not because it feared this human, but because in the beast world, there are extremely strict bloodline hierarchies.
Even a newly born, powerless Holy Dragon would make a fully grown Great Dragon kneel in submission!
This behavior is completely ingrained in their genetic consciousness and cannot be defied!
"Holy crap! What did he do to make this Thunder Lightning Dragon submit directly?"
"Could it be a Beast Tamer's skill?"
"Impossible! Contracted magical beasts are not affected by Beast Tamer skills!"
"Huh? Then why is it behaving like this?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
All the students were stunned by this scene.
Everyone was filled with confusion.
Even the teachers on the main platform were completely bewildered!
However, it was still the shy cat-girl teacher, Lina, who explained it to everyone.
As a half-beast, she could naturally sense the majestic beastly aura emanating from Ling Zhan at this moment.
"This is a bloodline talent..."
Just one sentence.
And many teachers suddenly understood.
"That's it, this kid consumed the 'Almighty Blood' given to him by Dean Wang Shi!"
"That's why he can ignore bloodline restrictions and learn any race's bloodline talent!"
"But... where did his bloodline talent come from? I remember our school doesn't have a collection of bloodline talents!"
No one could answer.
At this moment, all the teachers suddenly realized that this kid had too many secrets!
As for the five deans, they exchanged glances, and had already made another major decision.
After the Beast Wars tournament...
It's time to let this kid truly head to the frontline!
He already has the qualifications!
Since he's not meant for a small pond, let him go straight to the vast ocean!
At this moment.
The referee stepped forward to announce the result: "Ba Meng has completely lost his combat capability. I declare the winner of this arena match: Ling Zhan!!"
"Alright, the priest team can come up and revive Ba Meng now!"
As the words fell.
The priest team quickly came up and carried Ba Meng away.
The students in the audience were already shaking their heads, displaying various expressions.
The freshmen and sophomores shook their heads and smiled bitterly, not too surprised.
After all, this wasn't the first time they had seen Ling Zhan perform miracles!
Of course, this kid is still as ruthless as ever!
Damn it!
This dog Ling Zhan has unknowingly grown by leaps and bounds again!
It has already become impossible for them to catch up with him!
And the third-year students who had just returned from training on the frontline were utterly shocked and incredulous.
This completely overturned their twenty years of professional knowledge!
"How did he win? Can anyone tell me?"
"Damn it! I must be dreaming!"
"Goddamn it! I can't accept this! I just can't!"
"Holy crap! Such despicable and dirty tactics!"
"…"
Amidst these curses and exclamations.
The one feeling the worst was He Chuan.
He had thought that the spot was destined to be his.
But he didn't expect his opponent's strength to far exceed his understanding!
No wonder the five deans collectively recommended Ling Zhan!
Ignoring external controversies, they made history by allowing a freshman to participate in the global Beast Wars tournament for the first time!
However...
Do you think He Chuan would be scared and lose his fighting spirit because of this?
No!
Despite finding it hard to accept the fact that Ba Meng was defeated by a non-specialist.
But reason told him that since Ba Meng was defeated, it meant this kid was already qualified to be seen as an equal opponent!
Perfect!
I also need a thrilling and satisfying battle!
With this thought.
After Ba Meng and his contracted beast were carried away.
He Chuan, without any hesitation, directly stepped onto the arena!
And those spectators, forgetting their previous astonishment, widened their eyes and stared intently at the two facing each other on the stage!
This is the real highlight!
The referee on the field glanced at He Chuan and asked an extra question:
"He Chuan, I remember you contracted a divine beast, right?"
"Why don't you let it join as well?"
He Chuan asked back, "Does Ling Zhan have a contracted beast?"
The referee shook his head.
Ling Zhan's rejection of contracts with the four divine beast offspring hadn't spread among the students, but the teachers were aware.
Now all the teachers knew that Ling Zhan didn't have a contracted magical beast yet.
"Since he doesn't have one, why should I bring mine?"
"If I win, others might say I only won because I used the power of a divine beast!"
He Chuan shook his head.
The referee thought to himself, I'm just trying to help you...
But since He Chuan had decided, there was no need to say more.
The referee raised both hands again.
"Both sides, prepare!"
"3!"
"2!"
...
"Wait!"
Just as the countdown was about to finish.
A clear, crisp voice suddenly echoed from the sky, abruptly stopping the referee's countdown.
