Chapter 36 (1/2)
The strong wind generated by the Wind-Dwelling Egret engulfed the entire battle stage.
Both the Beast Tamer and the beast on the stage could sense the winds sweeping across them like sharp blades.
Trapped by the wind chime, Dou Buxiang backed off continuously.
Yet, Chen An remained grounded, looking calm, and composed.
Liu Ran felt strange and puzzled. He ran to the battle stage, leaned toward Chen An, and yelled to him, “Buddy, what’s in your mind? You might be alright, but your beast can no longer persist. You’ll lose for sure if you don’t retaliate now!”
Feng Ling dismissed Liu Ran’s warning. Thinking that victory was in the bag, she chuckled non-stop and re-emphasized, “It’s not that I’m bullying you.”
She would surely win!
In the eyes of outsiders, Dou Buxiang had already lost its ability to fight, and Chen An had exhausted his means. As such, they would know the outcome of the battle in a few moments.
The audience’s interest had waned. They predicted that a certain person would suffer the painful loss of his beast and end up crying and pleading for mercy.
Just as they were prepared to leave, the situation on the battle stage changed fast.
Feng Ling could sense numbness gradually spreading from her feet to her waist and then to her shoulders. She could no longer control her body.
“Cloud Halt!” At the critical juncture, she activated the Wind-Dwelling Egret’s second skill, attempting to defeat Chen An before she became completely immobilized.
At the very least, she had to immobilize the opponent. Otherwise, she would have to take the beating later on.
The hurricane ravaging the battle stage stopped instantaneously after the skill was used.
There was pin-drop silence in the surroundings, coupled with an awful atmosphere in the air.
Chen An lifted his head and looked at Feng Ling in the eye. She could only see the determination and confidence of winning in Chen An’s gaze.
“What did you do?” Feng Ling could not believe that she had been attacked. When had that happened? And what skill was that?
On the other hand, Chen An was also trapped in the stagnant hurricane and was unable to move.
What is he trying to do? How can he achieve victory?
A rustling noise disrupted Feng Ling’s many doubts and questions.
That adorable face of hers paled instantly. She saw Chen An’s beast crawling out of the wind chime’s dense strings.
That was obviously what a cat-like beast would do.
“How can that be? It had not been trapped?” At the sight of Dou Buxiang’s cat-like eyes, Feng Ling knew that she had already lost the battle.
The sudden victory caught the audience by surprise. Even Liu Ran had not come to his senses.
He stood in a daze for a long time and then cheered, “He won? Hooray! Wow, you’re really good, buddy. How did you win? I have not figured it out!”
He rushed to the battle stage and hung his arms on Chen An’s shoulder. Chen An then gradually moved his limbs and freed himself from the inert state.
The petite young lady was looking down with both arms raised behind her back. She sighed and said, “I have lost. Go ahead and extract the skills book.”
The Wind-Dwelling Egret was beside Feng Ling. She reached out her hands and touched its head. “Sorry.”
She was sure that the Wind-Dwelling Egret’s skill could not be extracted. If this was done forcefully, it would become injured. “Can you…”
