I Can Give Talent

Leyvi was intrigued by this Demonic Mantis Shrimp. From his observation, those powerful smashes weren't some kind of special abilities or talents given to it like Stripey's stealth, Scatlet's dig, or Mr. Bison's sturdy, but it was naturally born with it.

Leyvi could see that the structure of its arms seemed to be a combination of muscles, springs, and some unknown parts. The mantis shrimp would contract its muscles and the spring would compress, storing energy within it. When it decided to strike, all of the stored energy was instantly released, accelerating the club-like arms rapidly, unleashing lightning-fast powerful strikes.

However, what caught Leyvi's attention wasn't exactly how those powerful strikes worked, but something else. His keen spiritual sense detected that besides the impact of club strikes, there was a secondary powerful shockwave created right after the first impact. He was unsure where this mysterious force came from but for some reason, Leyvi wanted to know about it.

During the first round, the mantis shrimp were fighting on land, and while its smashing attacks were just as powerful, Leyvi didn't notice the secondary shockwave. Either he missed it or it could only happen under the water.

Leyvi stared at the Demonic Mantis Shrimp's tamer. Her name was Fisherwomen, another nickname. She had dark skin, darker than anyone Leyvi had ever met so far, which probably meant she came from another region like Lin Wei. Surprisingly, she had a cultivation at the middle-stage Core Formation realm.

She had a pretty face and beautiful curly afro hair with two big braids extending from behind her ears all the way to her voluptuous breasts. She wore an outfit that covered her front and back body parts, but her side was mostly exposed. Leyvi could see her heavenly mound spilling from the side as well as her thick but toned thighs.

"Nice, she has a toned body like Valenia but bigger mountains." Leyvi complimented her inwardly.

If possible, he wanted to be acquainted with this delicious-looking lady. Ahem! not to court her, but to watch her mantis shrimp executing those powerful smashes again and if possible, identify the mysterious secondary force. Leyvi had a feeling that discovering this mystery force would allow him to upgrade his Qi Detonation technique to another level.

After Fisherwomen finished her battle, she returned to her seat which was quite near to Leyvi. Noticing that Leyvi was staring at her intently, she adjusted her sitting position, and her fingers flipped open the side part of her dress exposing her beautiful large pink areola from an angle where only Leyvi could see it.

Leyvi was startled at this sight and fell from his seat. The other participants immediately saw the commotion caused by Leyvi as he clumsily tried to sit properly again.

Ah, it was this goofy guy again. They all think the same thing.

Selene Goldstone who was watching Leyvi from her seat was chuckling again. "This guy is really funny. How do you even fall from your seat like that? Hehe."

Leyvi sat properly again and as usual, put up a poker face acting unaffected. He didn't dare to stare at the afro girl again. She was too daring! Showing her intimate part like that to a stranger. It was absolutely a stunning sight, but please don't do that in public, lady.

Fisherwomen was amused by Leyvi's reaction to her tease, making her feel like doing it again. She was actually quite a flirtatious woman and her hobby was exactly teasing men using her sex appeal.

She came from a small cultivation family that makes a living by fishing or hunting the ocean demonic beasts in the West Region.

Back in her hometown, she teased a lot of men and made them drool for her. She would tease them with her cleavage, with her sexy thigh, or with the shape of her round bottom.

However one day, her actions backfired when a lecherous old man with powerful influence lusted after her and wanted her as a plaything. Even her family urged her to sacrifice herself for the benefit of the family which made her sick. They were supposed to protect her as a family, not sell her off.

Although she wasn't a maiden anymore after a few failed relationships due to her teasing tendency, she wasn't a cheap woman who would be willing to be a toy for others. So, she fled her hometown and wandered from place to place aimlessly.

One day, near the ocean,  she saw a low-level deep red-colored shrimp being attacked by a bunch of other marine demonic beasts. On a whim, because she liked the shrimp's beautiful red color, she rescued it from them.

Since then, the mantis shrimp kept following her, refusing to leave her side. In the end, since the shrimp was adamant about traveling with her, she relented and made it her spirit beast even though it was just a low-level demonic beast and she was a Core Formation expert.

A few years later, she arrived in the South Region and noticed that everybody here had a paler skin color. When she tried to flirt with the men here, most of them didn't have the same reactions as the men from her region. She was quite disappointed that the beauty standard here was different.

Men here rarely steal a glance at her, making her depressed. She even considered returning back to her region, but after thinking calmly, she refused to go back. Her family and the lecherous old man might still be looking for her. She didn't want to risk it. 

Now, she has been in the South Region for more than 30 years. Without plenty of resources, her cultivation had progressed very slowly. She had only reached the middle stage recently after so many years. After living alone for so long without constant attention from men, her flirting and teasing tendencies have diminished significantly.

The mantis shrimp had reached peak intermediate-level for some time now but there wasn't any sign of it evolving to the next level. She couldn't figure out any logical explanation for this. Her spirit beast was clearly very powerful and never lost a single tamer battle, but it was still stuck at the intermediate level. 

This time she came to Holy Cat City again to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament for the third time. Whenever they organized the Alchemy Conference, many other events would also be held before the main event and Beast Tamer Tournament was one of them.

She had won the tournament here two times already and was planning to win for the third time for that Beast Tamer Qi-Sharing Pair Ring. This was a newly designed spirit artifact made specifically for beast tamer. With this thing, maybe she could share her Qi and help her spirit beast finally become a high-level demonic beast.

Who would have thought that today, after such a long time of not receiving any attention from men, a tournament competitor was intensely staring at her? Wasn't this the funny guy from the first round? Suddenly, her long-dormant flirtatious nature resurfaced again and she even went to the extreme by showing him her bare breasts. 

And Leyvi's reaction was exactly the reaction she enjoyed the most. She thanked Leyvi in her heart for making her day.

An hour later, the second round finished. There were 16 competitors left in the tournament and the third round will have 8 matches total. After another 30 minutes of rest between the rounds, the third round began.

After the announcer randomly grabbed two names from the ballot, he spoke to the audience.

"Ladies and Gentleman, after many exciting battles, we are now going to witness the tamer fights between the last 16 participants. Without further ado, the first match,"

"Leyvi Leyan versus Mars Venus!"

"Huh? I'm first again." Leyvi stood up and instinctively glanced at Fisherwomen who was sitting with her legs crossed, showing her sexy legs.

Fisherwomen once again quickly flashed her large pink areola to Leyvi, making him stumble forward. She giggled with satisfaction.

"Holy! This woman is too bold!" Leyvi ignored the laugh from the audience and flew over to the arena. He now wondered whether it would be a good idea to meet with a woman like this or not. If he was not careful, he might get devoured.

In the arena, Leyvi focused again and observed his opponent, Mars Venus. Leyvi had heard from other people chatting that Mars Venus came from a genuine Beast Taming Family. He possessed many spirit beasts he could use in the tournament depending on the situation. In the previous two rounds, Mars won with a different spirit beast.

However, Leyvi didn't care. He summoned Scarlet again for the third time. A beautiful and elegant Demonic Red Fox appeared again in the arena. By this moment, everyone thought that Leyvi only had one spirit beast. He was saving Mr. Bison for the next two rounds, the quarter-final and the semi-final.

"Boss Leyvi, how many times do I have to fight? I'm tired now." Scarlet complained telepathically. 

"Sorry Scarlet, this is your last fight. After this, Mr. Bison will go. You can use your full power in this fight. Later I will ask Tasya to make something nice for you." Leyvi coaxed her a bit.

"Fine!" Scarlet replied.

Soon, Mars summoned his spirit beast, a Demonic Elephant!
