"Alright, isn't this for your training?"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "I think your compatibility with your contracted spirit has directly climbed a step."
His compatibility with his contracted spirit was quite high.
Even though some contracted spirits appeared a bit rebellious on the surface, they would not resist his commands in any way, especially at critical moments.
This was naturally due to Chen Shu's past near-death experiences…
Even between two strangers, sharing life and death would forge a close bond. How much more so for contracted spirits that shared one's thoughts and feelings?
"Hmm? It seems to be true…"
Ji Feng was slightly stunned. His contract degree with the Phoenix Bird had indeed increased.
As everyone was conversing, a wave of heat washed over them, sending a jolt through their hearts.
"It's here again."
Chen Shu, however, remained calm and looked at the trainees, saying,
"From now on, you will attack together and join forces to fight this fierce beast!"
"..."
The nine individuals' expressions stiffened, then they exchanged glances. Without hesitation, they summoned all their contracted spirits.
Although they felt fear, they were more excited!
This was a Golden Monarch, its strength even surpassing that of an ordinary King-level Beast Tamer, truly a top-tier expert!
Even with their noble status, they had never had such an excellent opportunity for combat practice.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, the red sandstorm struck like waves, filled with suffocating heat.
Seeing this, A Liang was the first to order Xue Tuan to attack!
Boundless ice and snow descended, covering the sandstorm and attempting to freeze it.
But the gap between them was too vast.
The ice and snow melted before even reaching the sandstorm, disappearing without a trace.
"I'll help you!"
Fang Si roared. The Frost Dragon beside him flapped its wings and spat out a large amount of frost.
Simultaneously, the others attacked in succession.
Finally, the surging sandstorm was suppressed and calmed,
but this was merely one skill of the Monarch…
At this moment, a thousand meters away, the ground trembled, and then twelve massive tentacles suddenly appeared, clinging tightly to the ground.
A terrifying octopus head slowly rose.
Four eyes adorned its forehead, and within them lay an overwhelming killing intent!
Boom!
In an instant, the Monarch's entire body erupted in flames, distorting the surrounding space. A kingly aura spread out, causing hearts to tremble!
At this moment, the Flame Octopus Monarch's gaze swept over A Liang and the others, fixing directly on Chen Shu.
From the human before it, it sensed a faint sense of crisis!
This was a Monarch's intuition!
Roar!
It roared to the sky, using its Monarch bloodline to transmit its command into the minds of every Lord.
In an instant, the entire [Skyfire Desert] erupted!
Countless powerful Lords, leading their respective clans, rushed to support, determined to protect their Monarch!
Once all the fierce beasts gathered, even creatures of the same level would not be its match.
This was one of the difficulties in hunting a Monarch!
"Leave the others to me. You deal with this giant octopus."
Chen Shu's expression was calm, though he was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected the Monarch before him to be so cautious, summoning all its subordinates just because of a slight threat.
However, considering the Monarch's fear of death, he found it reasonable.
At this moment, hearing Chen Shu's steady voice, the group felt their hearts relax, filled with a sense of security.
Roar!
The Flame Monarch's eyes held ferocity and madness. As a Golden Monarch, its intelligence was no less than that of a human. It instantly understood the intentions of the humans before it.
They actually wanted to use it as a whetstone?
Its gaze swept over the ten individuals, then all twelve tentacles attacked in unison, flames spreading out, filled with icy killing intent!
Fang Si and the others' expressions slightly changed. Seeing the incoming attack, they instantly summoned their contracted spirits to evade, not daring to meet it head-on.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Old Xie's expression changed drastically. He was already on the verge of cursing.
He was two major levels behind the Golden Monarch, completely unable to evade its attack!
But at the critical moment, a mutated Thunderbird flew over, grabbed him, and pulled him away from the tentacles' reach.
"Xiao Xing, thanks…"
Old Xie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Xingxing beside him.
"It's nothing."
Xiao Xing shook his head, his gaze still solemn.
Now that he had broken through to the Golden level, the dragon-sovereign bloodline of the mutated Thunderbird had been further stimulated, and its speed had reached a terrifying level.
Yet, even so, under the Flame Monarch's attack, the mutated Thunderbird was still in peril.
As for the others, it was even worse.
In an instant, the ten individuals were constantly fleeing, with no power to counterattack, and a single misstep could lead to casualties.
"Is it still too difficult…"
Chen Shu, standing in the distance, stroked his chin and murmured.
The giant octopus before him lacked special bloodlines and could not compare to the Ice Giant Chen Shu had encountered in the Seven Northern Kingdoms. Its strength was equivalent to King level one or two.
The nine individuals before him were all newly promoted Golden level one. With a difference of two to three minor levels and one major level, they were indeed not on the same tier.
"I originally planned to stimulate your potential a bit…"
Chen Shu shook his head and prepared to act himself.
However, at this very moment,
the battle situation before them showed a slight reversal.
Fang Si took the lead, unleashing the defensive divine skill of his small white flying dragon.
A white protective shield descended, and dozens of contracted spirits on the field were all protected.
As a divine skill, it could withstand one or two attacks from the Flame Monarch, at least increasing the tolerance for error and preventing them from being instantly killed.
At this moment, A Liang shouted:
"Everyone, go all out! Prioritize applying control skills on it!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded without reservation.
Various control-type skills descended in succession, interrupting the Flame Monarch's advances.
Originally, the gap was too large for control effects to be significant, but the individuals present were all top-tier geniuses, and their skills were of very high grade, unlike ordinary beast tamers.
Especially Wang Sheng's Skyfire Tree, whose divine skill [Flame Domain] enhanced everyone's fire attribute and simultaneously weakened the Flame Monarch's might.
In an instant, the Flame Monarch was briefly suppressed, and its twelve dancing tentacles slowed down.
Seeing this, the others began to attack with full force.
A series of attacks bombarded the Flame Monarch's head, aiming to heavily wound it!
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, various skills exploded, filled with terrifying might. Even Golden Lords would have been instantly killed.
However, as the brilliance of the skills dispersed, everyone stared in stunned silence, their eyes filled with horror.
The Flame Octopus Monarch's head showed no damage whatsoever, easily withstanding their attacks.
"This strong?!"
Everyone's hearts sank. Their resentful gazes occasionally drifted towards Chen Shu.
They had realized that this guy simply didn't consider them human…
Could this combat training course be any more monstrous…
