I CAN GIVE TALENTS

Soon, the second match of the quarter-final was announced.

"Charlie Chopin versus Leyvi Leyan!"

Leyvi stood up immediately. He stretched a bit before flying onto the arena.

Without wasting time, he summoned Mr. Bison out from the spirit beast bag.

What? He has another spirit beast? The audience instantly buzzed with people discussing the situation. They had only seen Leyvi fight using Scarlet before so it wasn't strange for them to assume that he was one of those cultivators who luckily tamed a demonic beast.

Selene Goldstone eyebrows raised. She thought all this time Leyvi only had the Demonic Red Fox. Now a Demonic Bison came out. Does this mean the bison was stronger?

Charlie cursed in his heart. He had already thought of the most suitable strategy to counter the red fox but now it was all wasted. He racked his brain for nothing. Does Leyvi have a grudge against him? Did he intentionally hide his other spirit beast until he met him?

Since things had come to this, he might as well fight power using power. Charlie summoned a Demonic Dung Beetle. It was considered the strongest insect as it can pull objects over 1000 times their body weight.

Although it wouldn't be as heavy as the demonic bison, its strength advantage was still there.

"Boss! It's my first fight and I have to fight this smelly thing? It's smells like shit!" Mr. Bison complained.

"How is this my fault? Maybe you attract shit. I haven't seen that guy use a dung beetle before, so he probably thinks you deserve some shit. Get angry at him." Leyvi rolled his eyes.

He also didn't expect a dung beetle to be summoned. The only other person who used an insect so far was The Last Hairbender. Leyvi subconsciously looked at her seat and saw that she was still there watching the tournament. Many participants who were eliminated had left the coliseum so it was rare.

Ehhhhh? What's going on? Why did he look at me? On no, do I show my nipple too? But I'm not ready yet. I need to practice first! I'm sorry Leyvi, I can't flash it right now. Selene didn't expect Leyvi to look in her direction, making her flustered.

Huh? Why did she react so weirdly? Did she hate me for defeating her? It was not uncommon. Sigh, it's not impossible, especially that Mars guy. He got humiliated after all. Leyvi would not be surprised at all if some people held a grudge over their defeat.

"Let the match begin!" The announcer declared, snapping Leyvi from his thoughts.

On one side stood the Demonic Dung Beetle, a giant insect of chitin and might, its carapace shimmering red from the sunset. Opposite it, is the Demonic Bison, a behemoth of muscle and sinew, with a hide that accentuates its power.

"Dung bug, you are so smelly, can't you take a bath?" Mr. Bison talked to it.

"I did take many baths! Don't accuse me!" The dung beetle retorted.

"Then why are you so smelly? You must be lying!" He didn't believe it a single bit.

"I bathed in the dung I collected every day, I told you I'm not lying. I can show you the dung pool I made after this." It answered honestly.

"..." Mr. Bison was speechless. When he was a wild animal, the worst he did was bathing in the mud, not in a dung pool.

"Come on! Stop making weird noises and start fighting!" Someone in the audience lost their patience and yelled at Mr. Bison and the dung beetle.

Mr. Bison charged forward with a ground-shaking rumble. The dung beetle, known for its immense strength, braced itself, preparing to meet the bison head-on. As the Mr. Bison closed in, the dung beetle dug its sturdy legs into the ground and leaned forward, its powerful horns aiming to intercept the bison's charge.

The two demonic beasts collided with a resounding crash. The dung beetle's horns dug into the bison's tough hide, but almost instantly, the beetle felt a powerful shockwave reverberate through its body. Mr. Bison's Heavenly Diamond Lord Body's ability activated, deflecting most of the impact back onto the beetle.

The dung beetle staggered, momentarily dazed by the unexpected recoil. It was not expecting so much force directed back at itself. What's going on?

Undeterred, the dung beetle shook off the effects and launched a series of rapid, powerful strikes with its horns and mandibles. Each hit landed with precision and strength, but each time, Mr. Bison's reflected the damage back. The dung beetle's chitin began to crack under the continuous feedback of its own attacks.

Realizing that brute strength alone wouldn't be enough, the dung beetle attempted a different tactic. It circled around Mr. Bison, using its speed and agility to find an opening. It aimed for the bison's legs, hoping to topple the bigger demonic beast. However, the Mr. Bison's reflexes were sharp. With a swift kick, it sent the dung beetle sprawling.

"Heh, you think you can attack me from behind? I practiced my kick a lot because I got tired of ramming you know. Hahaha!" Mr. Bison mocked the dung beetle.

Despite its resilience and tactical shift, the dung beetle's own strength became its downfall. Every powerful blow it delivered was met with an equally devastating counterforce. Until now, it still doesn't understand why was this happening.

"Dammit! What is going on? Dungdung having a hard time using its super strength. This doesn't make sense. Even that Demonic Elephant could be easily thrown by Dungdung's power if they fight, but it is struggling against a bison which is clearly smaller and lighter." Charlie expressed his frustration.

In a final, desperate move, the dung beetle attempted to lift the Mr. Bison with its powerful legs and horns, aiming to throw it off balance. The sheer force required to lift the bison, however, triggered the Heavenly Diamond Lord Body's deflection ability once more. A tremendous shockwave rippled through the dung beetle, shattering its resolve and cracking its carapace.

With one last bellow, Mr. Bison charged, ramming the weakened Demonic Dung Beetle away and completely shattering its carapace.

"Leyvi Leyan wins! Charlie Chopin, please attend to your spirit beast quickly."

The announcer looked at Mr. Bison silently. He noticed that Leyvi's other spirit beast had a unique ability as well. If it was only one of them, it could be considered luck. But both? This Leyvi must have found some beast-tamer secret method or something.

Charlie was devastated, now that he lost here, he wouldn't even have the chance to get the third prize. How did his Dungdung lose in a strength battle? He fed Dungdung a healing product and sent it into the spirit beast bag. The shattered carapace would require a better healing product so he left right away.

"Oi Mr. Bison, don't come here yet! Go clean yourself in the pond first, you stink. Scarlet and Stripey are going to suffocate if you return to the spirit beast bag now." Leyvi ordered him when he saw him returning.

"Oh shit! I forgot I touched that shit bug." Mr. Bison immediately ran toward the pond and jumped into it, cleaning himself.

After he was done, he got out of the pond and shook his body dry. He returned to Leyvi's side and asked, "Boss, how many fights left?"

"One more," Leyvi replied. After he wins one more fight, he could take it easy, or just forfeit the the final round.

He was confident that Mr. Bison could win any fight at this level with his Heavenly Diamond Lord Body. Most fights between demonic beasts from low to high levels were reliant on their physical capabilities which Mr. Bison had an overwhelming advantage.

However, after he learned that the demonic beast could awaken their bloodline and gain special bloodline abilities at the commander level and higher, he knew that Mr. Bison's superiority would significantly be diminished.

But, that was a problem for the future Leyvi to solve. Right now, the Heavenly Diamond Lord Body was invincible! Just look at what happened to the Demonic Dung Beetle, any contact with force he made with Mr. Bison would result in a backlash to itself. Truly an unfair advantage.

"Hahaha! Don't worry boss, I'll win the next fight too!" Mr. Bison was getting cocky as he disappeared into the spirit beast bag.

As usual, Leyvi was greeted with a sexy tease from Fisherwomen again returning to his seat. Leyvi wondered why she used that nickname. Did she used to be a fisherman for a living? Or was it because she liked to fish men into her embrace? Based on her behavior, Leyvi felt that the latter was more likely, and he is now a fish she's trying to catch.

Not long after, the third and the fourth matches of the Quarter-Final round were finished.

The final four participants for the Semi-Final round were beast-tamer Fisherwomen, Leyvi Leyan, Lira Stormfang, and Kael Stormfang.

Two of the semi-finalists were siblings from a famed beast-tamer clan in the South Region, the Stormfang Clan, similar to the Venus family. However, the Stormfang Clan had a better reputation in the Beast-Taming World.
