An Unprecedented Humanoid Lifebound Summoned Beast (2)

"Are you... a beast?"

Wang Yuanyuan's expression was somewhat strange.

When she slammed down, she didn't see clearly what Chen Ying'er had summoned. Moreover, the shield had the effect of obscuring her vision. It wasn't until she was knocked back by the summoned beast and regained her footing that she realized that the person standing opposite her was a young man.

Not a beast!

Not a beast!

Not a beast!

I'll say it three times because it's important!

But after saying it three times, a problem arose. "You are her Lifebound Summoned Beast... human... no, what exactly are you?"

"Humans are, by nature, beasts, at most intelligent beasts." The cane tapped lightly on the metal floor of the arena, producing a crisp sound. Unlike Long Haochen's refined features, Ye Qingcang's appearance wasn't flawlessly handsome, but rather strikingly good-looking, easily distinguishable by gender. He was initially captivating, growing more pleasing with each glance. Even though Ye Qingcang's attire wasn't luxurious—just a simple hoodie, canvas pants, and sneakers, making him look like a young man out for a stroll—his air of authority was still vividly displayed in that light tap of his cane. "Human or beast, even if you call me an object, it doesn't matter. I'm just here to see which summoner has the audacity to treat me, Ye Qingcang, as their Lifebound Summoned Beast, and incidentally... to help a friend with a small problem!"

"That's quite a novel way of putting it!" Wang Yuanyuan kicked her shield, adjusted her position, and a fighting spirit suddenly ignited in her eyes. "Alright, whatever you are, now you are my enemy... You won't deny that, will you?"

"The word 'enemy' should not be used carelessly."

"Becoming my enemy means death."

"I still prefer... my opponent!"

Ye Qingcang released his grip, and a golden hole silently appeared beneath the staff. He swallowed the staff into it, turned, and walked towards Chen Ying'er, waving his hand dismissively without looking back. Behind his flippant attitude lay unwavering confidence. "Take your time. I'm going to check on that summoner..."

"Don't underestimate me!" Wang Yuanyuan's fighting spirit quickly turned into rage. Although wielding a shield forced him to slow down considerably, his charge was even more ferocious than before. If he was an arrow released from a bow before, he was now a raging battering ram. "Face my charge head-on, who do you think you are?"

The white air currents gradually turned silver.

Layer upon layer of power converged onto the shield, which was clearly no ordinary object.

After rushing ten meters, a silver trail of light appeared!

After rushing thirty meters, a faint roar could be heard in the void!

It rushed out for fifty meters and crashed hard into the golden barrier that divided the field into equal parts!

"This attack is enough to injure a sixth-tier warrior!" The Temple Master of the Warrior Temple slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair, his voice filled with excitement. "This thin golden barrier definitely won't be able to withstand this attack..."

Clang!

On the golden barrier that came into contact with the Juling God's Shield in Wang Yuanyuan's hand, visible ripples spread out in all directions at a uniform speed, like wood hitting a bronze bell. The ancient sound resounded throughout the Warrior Training Ground, causing not only Long Haochen and others in the audience to subconsciously cover their ears, but also making the temple master of the Warrior Temple buzz in his head!

"How is this possible!" Wang Yuanyuan exclaimed, staring at the golden barrier that was so close yet completely unharmed. Unconvinced, she moved her shield back slightly, then used her warrior skill, charging it up slightly before slamming the Juling God's Shield, enveloped in a silver shockwave, into the golden barrier once more. "Try this! Watch my Sky-Splitting Cannon!"

"This attack can also injure a sixth-tier opponent!" The Temple Master of the Warrior Temple quickly tried to salvage the situation, refusing to believe it, "It can definitely break through this layer..."

Clang!

Long Haochen and the others have gradually gotten used to it.

I habitually cover my ears.

Their movements were so skillful it brought tears to my eyes.

The same habit was shared by the Temple Master of the Warrior Temple, who looked utterly dejected.

Once or twice, but not a third time.

His face had already been swollen twice.

Next time, even if Wang Yuanyuan unleashes an attack comparable to the full power of an Eighth Order Magical Beast, he will not speak again until he sees the result.

Moreover, given how things are developing, Wang Yuanyuan has no chance of winning.

You can't even break through the shield of Chen Ying'er's Lifebound Summoned Beast, so it's safe to say that Chen Ying'er is already invincible.

But Chen Ying'er was in a panic at this moment.

Look at Ye Qingcang walking towards him step by step.

Then look at Wang Yuanyuan, who is relentlessly smashing and attacking the golden light barrier.

Suddenly, I had the illusion that a big bad wolf was about to eat Xiao Bai, while the Xiao Bai's mother was standing outside the door, desperately pounding on the door, but unable to get in.

"Never mind, I must be overthinking it." Chen Ying'er shook her head suspiciously, banishing the unfounded thought from her mind. Looking at her summoned creature, which she didn't know was either a beast or a human, she tentatively asked, "Is your name Ye Qingcang?"

Ding~

Ding~

Ding~

Wang Yuanyuan was frantically smashing the golden barrier outside.

Ye Qingcang remained calm and composed inside.

He strolled over to Chen Ying'er as if taking a walk, looked down at the shorter Chen Ying'er, and did something no one expected—he raised his hand and pinched Chen Ying'er's cheek for a good two or three seconds before lowering his hand, leaving Chen Ying'er stunned and speechless. "Good talent, but unfortunately, your control isn't very good... Tell me, do you want to win or lose this match?"

"I... I..." After realizing what had happened, Chen Ying'er was furious at Ye Qingcang's actions. She raised her foot to stomp on Ye Qingcang's foot, but missed and stomped on the metal floor of the arena. Her thin leather shoes, which didn't offer much cushioning, bruised Chen Ying'er foot due to the recoil, causing Chen Ying'er to gasp in pain. Her composure shattered. "You dare to dodge... Are you even my Lifebound Summoned Beast? Was you summoned just to annoy me?"

"You should calm down first. You can even say things like 'Don't dodge when someone steps on you.' I think we can't communicate for now..." Ye Qingcang turned and left. A row of rock pillars rose from the ground, separating Chen Ying'er Chen Ying'er everyone else, leaving them dumbfounded. The arena was suddenly divided into Three-legged Cauldron divisions: Wang Yuanyuan had half of the arena, while Ye Qingcang and Chen Ying'er each had a quarter. "Tell me when you've thought it through. If I still think you're not calm enough, then please calm down some more. I'm sorry, I can't tolerate you."

Chen Ying'er: "..."

Wang Yuanyuan: "..."

The high-ranking officials of the Six Great Temples: "..."

The audience. "..."

"Huh... Lifebound Summoned Beast this temperamental?" Long Haochen wiped away imaginary cold sweat, taking the opportunity to control his dumbfounded expression. "Summoners have it tough..."

"There's nothing we can do about it." A young man dressed as a mage suppressed a laugh. "A summoner can only have one Lifebound Summoned Beast in their lifetime. If their destined summon dies, the summoner will suffer a backlash... But to be honest, this is indeed the first time I've seen a humanoid Lifebound Summoned Beast. Maybe Chen Ying'er summoned the wrong one?"

On the high platform, the leaders of the Six Great Temples looked at each other.

In the end, it was a joke from the higher-ups of the Soul Temple that managed to cover it up, "How about it... our Soul Temple's Lifebound Summoned Beast is quite unique, isn't it? Haha, hahahahaha."

The other five high-ranking officials of the temples stared at them silently. "Do you think we believe that?"
