Chapter 132: Chapter 108: Advancing to the Finals, Unrivaled Popularity
"You, go outside Lin Chen and their residence, keep watch, and gather information. Once you learn of any breakthrough in Lin Chen’s spirit beast level, inform me immediately." Tian Qi finally gave the betting odds for this match:
1.65-2.25.
After finding out, the assistant was about to leave but suddenly thought of something and said, "Do you want to also send people to watch Li Jiuxiao?"
"Yes." Tian Qi said, "If Li Jiuxiao’s spirit beast breaks through to Level 20, no need to report to me, immediately activate the super high odds."
What is called super high odds are above 1.1-2.8.
It represents a unilateral crush.
In Tian Qi’s view, once Li Jiuxiao’s spirit beast really steps into Level 20, Lin Chen will have no chance.
...
The night was deep, Li Guan and Li Jiutian sat at the table, both with very serious expressions.
Li Jiuxiao was very confident, even though Xiaobai’s barbaric bloodline is controllable, it is still very difficult for Lin Chen to defeat him.
But the Li family, having cultivated the cattle line for many years, naturally understands how shocking it is for a non-spiritual system bull to master the Soul-Calming Hoof.
The barbaric bloodline is something they all must contend with.
After all, this pertains to the Li family’s honor.
"The barbaric bloodline versus Absolute Bone Realm, it’s hard to predict the winner."
"But the barbaric bloodline has shortcomings, which are its short duration and significant side effects."
"Plus, your spirit beast level is three levels higher, which is a big lead."
"This is our advantage, so we must try to make the fight a protracted battle."
Li Guan, drawing from years of experience, analyzed carefully.
Li Jiuxiao also nodded, he did not underestimate Lin Chen but still said:
"I won’t lose, betting on the Li family’s glory..."
Li Guan did not show any different expression when hearing such impassioned words, because he knew that behind this bravado, there was another layer of meaning...
The patriarchs of the Li family have always been strong individuals, and their heirs are raised to be the same.
If Li Jiuxiao loses in this competition, he will inevitably lose his edge in the future competition for the position of the patriarch.
After all, the Li family’s future candidate is not necessarily only Li Jiuxiao.
...
As Li Jiuxiao and they were formulating their strategy, Lin Chen was doing the same.
However, the skills of the Bone Armor Bull are also quite extreme, so analyzing to determine victory is very challenging.
The Beast King is called such not only because of stronger skills but also because its beast power is more formidable than other ordinary spirit beasts.
So, Xiaobai is at a disadvantage in this aspect.
The final competition has a rest period of seven days, so besides category-specific tactics against the Bone Armor Bull, most of Xiaobai’s time is spent in meditation.
It doesn’t need to deliberately cultivate skills because this month’s battles have been enough.
If it can break through before the battle, that would be a huge improvement.
On the fifth day, Xiaobai still hadn’t broken through, so Lin Chen decided to relax a bit before the battle.
Upon going out, he found Qin Hao and others discussing topics related to the beast tide.
"Has Jiuxing City really had a beast tide outbreak?" Lin Chen asked.
"Brother Lin, you’re out of retreat?" Qin Hao stepped up excitedly and asked, "Has Xiaobai broken through?"
Lin Chen shook his head, and the three were instantly disappointed, but they controlled it well and didn’t show it. Bai Jiajia also took the opportunity to change the subject and said, "Jiuxing City has gone into lockdown."
"Is it that serious?" Lin Chen frowned.
The Beast Tamer Guild has a clear level classification for beast tides, divided into seven levels:
For ordinary beast tides, if the leading demon beast king and leaders are below Level 30, the number is reduced, which is Level 1.
If the number is larger, it’s classified as Level 2.
Level 1 and Level 2, in fact, have very little interference with human beastmasters, and it can even be profitable.
Level 3 beast tides, where the demon beast king and leaders are above Level 30 and below Level 40, and the number is at a certain level.
This level of demon beast already poses a certain threat to humans, but it’s still not difficult to handle.
Level 4 beast tides, where the demon beast king and leaders are above Level 40 and below Level 50, and the number is at a certain level.
This kind of beast tide can start to cause devastating damage to the human world. For big cities, this is still not a problem, but for small cities, it can trigger a lockdown mechanism, requesting aid from nearby cities.
Level 5 beast tides, and so on, are above Level 50 and below Level 60, which are disastrous for small cities, and medium-sized cities can barely cope.
Level 6 beast tides, which are above Level 60 and below Level 70, also put considerable pressure on large cities.
Level 7 beast tides, where the demon beast king is above Level 70 with no upper limit, are because such demon beast kings are extremely terrifying and can alarm the national leadership.
The threat of the beast tide is not only about the demon beast king; for human beastmasters, slaying the demon beast king is not even difficult.
But the terrifying aspect of the beast tide lies in its numbers, with a den of at least a hundred, mid-sized over a thousand, and large ones over ten thousand, even a hundred thousand.
Imagine, in a small city like Jiuxing City, the resident powerful beastmasters are already scarce, so encountering a beast tide is an extremely troublesome matter.
Lin Chen has learned about the beast tide mechanism in Jiuxing City, and for over Level 4, the city will go into lockdown.
The combat strength of Jiuxing City can barely cope with Level 5, but to protect the safety of residents, the usual practice is to lower one level for defense; this is also a common practice of the Beast Tamer Guild.
Lin Feng glanced at the Guild Machine, which hadn’t been opened for a long time, and indeed saw a lockdown warning in red letters on it:
[To all residents and tourists of Jiuxing City]
[In view of the recent beast tide, estimated at around Level 5, to protect the safety of beastmasters, please do not leave the city]
