Suddenly, a voice of astonishment echoed throughout the hall: "Is this guy the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to the big screen.

On the screen, a majestic figure appeared, flames surging around its body, holding a heavy sword dragging on the ground, with blazing white eyes staring forward.

The person in charge was frozen in place.

Chairman Maimaiti glanced at the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, then crossed his arms behind his back, a smile on his lips, expression calm: "Is this the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch?"

The person in charge snapped out of his shock, furrowing his brows: "Yes, but this kind of Pet Beast isn’t supposed to appear so soon, after all, its evolutionary conditions are very..."

He had not finished speaking when Chairman Maimaiti waved his hand to interrupt: "Since things have already happened, don’t dwell on the reasons why, just focus on solving it seriously."

The person in charge bowed his head in agreement.

The hall was silent, only Chairman Maimaiti’s voice continued to resonate: "Explain the intelligence on the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch in detail."

"Yes." The person in charge recounted all the records about the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, concluding, "The Blazing Soul Flame Monarch is of Morning Star Quality, its individual combat power surpasses all participating Pet Beasts, and it has the ability to command Wandering Fire Ash Spirits, extremely difficult to deal with."

"A single Beastmaster would never be its opponent, even a group of Beastmasters working together would be the same, unless someone can command all the teams, launching a total attack."

"But that’s very difficult."

Chairman Maimaiti nodded in understanding.

Most Beastmasters are proud and will not accept being directed by other Beastmasters.

Unless a Beastmaster’s strength and personal charisma are recognized and respected by everyone, then there might be a possibility of commanding all the teams.

The screen continued to shake, the image quality also very blurry, yet another figure slowly appeared.

This was obviously a person’s silhouette, a Flame Cloud Falcon flying out from beside him, charging straight towards the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch ahead.

The person in charge’s expression changed slightly: "What is he trying to do?"

Chairman Maimaiti’s expression remained unchanged: "Challenging strong opponents is a compulsory class for every Beastmaster."

"But..." The person in charge’s tone was hesitant, "No Beastmaster here could be a match for the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch."

"Beastmasters will launch challenges one after another, at first the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch might engage out of curiosity, but as the number of challenging Beastmasters increases, and not one can pique its interest, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch is bound to become bored or even angry."

"By that time, these Beastmasters will be at risk of losing their lives."

Hearing these words, Chairman Maimaiti, who was originally calm and composed, furrowed his brows slightly: "Is there a plan in place to solve these sudden situations?"

"There is." The person in charge looked up, eyes flickering, "We can transmit a message through this machine instructing them to retreat."

"With the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch present, this competition must end prematurely."

"Alright." Chairman Maimaiti, understanding the importance of these Beastmasters far exceeds that of the competition, nodded decisively, "Then go ahead."

At the same time,

"Awoo awoo~"

Seeing the boss flying ahead, Cola couldn’t help but feel a bit sour inside.

Is it the boss’s highlight moment again!

But when Cola looked at the majestic Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, she felt a bit relieved.

She definitely didn’t want to become a scorched little dog.

Cola, lost in thought, meanwhile conjured up a cool breeze, continuously cooling her master down, ensuring her master stayed clear-headed during intense battles.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, a thought surfacing: "Flame Surge."

First, use Spark’s best move to personally test the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s specific combat strength.

"Chirp!"

Spark soared high in the sky, brilliant sunlight spilling over its body, reflecting flames surging around.

The moment its wings spread open, the orange-yellow body burst forth with a striking golden-red glow.

Spark let out a sharp call, suddenly stopping mid-dive in the air, its throat pulsing like a roaring furnace, a turbulent pillar of flame spewed from its beak, hurtling through the sky.

The Beastmasters who made it here all possessed high strength and keen eyesight, exclaiming in surprise at the sight of this turbulent flame, "Perfect-level Flame Surge!"

At this moment, a perfect-level skill is rarer than a Tier Three Pet Beast, and more directly demonstrates the strength of the Pet Beast.

And just then, the recording device hanging around her neck beeped continuously.

Liu Jinglan took it off to look, finding a message on the screen — Due to uncontrollable factors appearing at the core area of Flame Mountain, all participants are urged to quickly leave the scene and return to the Beastmaster Office. The leaderboard scores will freeze in one hour.

Jiang Hu leaned over for a glance: "Uncontrollable factors? Must be referring to the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, right?"

Liu Jinglan nodded: "It’s definitely that."

Liu Jingyi asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

Liu Jinglan put down the video recorder and asked back, "Do you want to stay and watch the battle or just leave?"

"Of course, watch the battle!" Liu Jingyi answered without hesitation.

"Then that’s settled." Liu Jinglan chuckled and ignored the announcement, "Advisor Chen is still battling, as his friend and teammate, we obviously can’t just leave like this."

"However..." Liu Jinglan turned his head to Jiang Hu, "Since the competition committee released a notice, it proves things are quite serious. You all should leave first, and while you’re at it..."

Liu Jinglan glanced at Liu Jingyi but didn’t speak his mind.

He initially wanted to ask Jiang Hu to take his sister away from this perilous place, but upon reconsideration, he knew that with his sister’s personality, she wouldn’t leave unless knocked out and carried away.

It wouldn’t work either; she’d cry and fuss to come back once she woke up, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hu grinned, "If you’re not leaving, why should I?"

With that said, he stood in place and continued to watch the battle.

The other Beastmaster teams caused a commotion, but after a long time, not a single Beastmaster had left.

Compared to the uncontrollable forces unknown in danger, they were clearly more interested in the fierce battle before them.

At the same time,

Flame Surge had already approached the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, the latter neither dodged nor retreated, lifted the Heavy Sword in hand and slashed horizontally, sending a crescent-shaped fire wave!

Boom!

The moment the fire wave collided with Flame Surge, the explosion’s shockwave ripped up the surface layers of the ground. Charred rubble shot out like shrapnel, with black smoke spreading everywhere.

The surrounding Wandering Fire Ash Spirits scattered, but one unlucky one was hit, its flaming body swayed and then fell to the ground.

Even the aftermath of the battle had such terrifying power, the Beastmasters immediately understood that this conflict was more intense than the previous ones.

A closer look revealed Flame Surge and the fire wave locked in a stalemate mid-air, with no victor emerging for a long time. The explosively violent heat waves spread continuously in all directions, causing the surrounding temperature to soar.

"Panting heavily~"

Cola stuck its tongue out from the heat but didn’t forget to muster a cool breeze to cool down its master.

Finally,

The aftermath of Flame Surge and the fire wave diminished simultaneously in mid-air, sparking heated discussions among the Beastmasters.

"No way, dude, are you serious?"

"Really can go toe-to-toe with this guy?"

"When did Fire State have such powerful Beastmasters? Didn’t see him at the Blazing Fire Cup."

"I just remembered, this person is teamed up with Liu Jinglan, seems to be from out of town."

"Are all these out-of-town Beastmasters this fierce? Who’s stronger, him or the Beastmaster with the Furious Wave Crocodile?"

Xia Heng clearly had authority over this question, but he remained silent, continuously gazing at the Flame Cloud Falcon flying in mid-air, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

It’s stronger.

After the first round of probing, Chen Yuan had gained an understanding of the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s specific combat strength, his eyes sharp, thoughts racing: "Continue with Flame Surge."

The next moment, another Flame Surge erupted, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch was prepared, wielding his sword to counter with [Molten Fire Slash].

Rumble!

Flame Surge clashed with the fire wave once more, raising shockwaves and black smoke.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hu’s eyes widened, "Did we just see this scene before?"

Liu Jinglan calmly spoke, "Hu, since Advisor Chen is doing this, there must be a reason."

As soon as the words finished, a sleek figure burst through the black smoke, swiftly charging at the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch, quick as lightning.

The sudden assault caught all the Beastmasters off guard; the Flame Cloud Falcon abruptly folded its wings, plunging down at a nearly vertical angle, flames blazing all over its body, causing the air to thunder as it passed.

Xia Heng’s eyes flickered, immediately discerning Chen Yuan’s strategic intention: "Flame Surge is merely a feint, Advisor Chen’s true intent is to use the collision-produced black smoke as cover, then launch a surprise attack to catch the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch off guard."

But will it really work?

Xia Heng’s gaze rose, falling on the Flame Cloud Falcon, which was now only a short distance away from the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.

At the crucial moment, the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch’s fiery white eyes radiated bright light, clearly sensing the scorching heat wave accompanying the Flame Cloud Falcon’s charge, its figure suddenly transformed into a crimson afterimage, swiftly sidestepping a few meters away!

"Such fast reaction speed!" Chen Yuan’s eyes glimmered.

With Spark’s speed to strike, there was actually a Pet Beast able to react, befitting a Morning Star Quality Pet Beast born from the sacrifice of hundreds of its kind.
