"You?" Shentu Hao was so furious he nearly spat blood. His face twisted into a terrifying grimace as he roared, "I'll kill you!"
"Dreams are always beautiful!" Yue Yang shrugged with carefree ease, turned, and walked away. "Grey Wolf, play with this clown for a bit. He may be a weak clown, but he sure knows how to be funny..."
The moment Grey Wolf heard that, it immediately puffed itself up with pride, threw back its head in a wolfish howl, and pounced forward in high spirits. Its target was the Scorpion Lion.
Though the Bronze Level Three Scorpion Lion was one level below Grey Wolf, under Shentu Hao's command, it fearlessly roared and charged to meet it. Its bloody maw viciously snapped at Grey Wolf's hind leg. If it had not been a contracted battle beast, it would instinctively have chosen Grey Wolf's throat instead. With its speed, biting a nimble Iron-Spine Demon Wolf one level above itself would have been no small challenge... But Shentu Hao was battle-hardened and intimately familiar with the weaknesses of all kinds of battle beasts. At the academy, he had also learned techniques specifically for dealing with agile beasts such as wolves, dogs, and foxes.
First the throat, second the spine, third the hind legs.
To use larger lion, tiger, or leopard-type battle beasts that relied on explosive power to kill battle beasts famed for speed and agility, such as wolves, dogs, and foxes, one had to seize their greatest weakness in a surprise attack—or destroy their specialty.
The Iron-Spine Demon Wolf's throat could not be bitten, and its spine was no longer a weakness. Therefore, he had to cripple its specialty and ruin its claws.
Otherwise, with Grey Wolf's agility, the Scorpion Lion, one level lower, would only be worn to death
