nLocke saw that the other side was unwilling to answer and sighed. “Dammit, I just wanted to know so that I can calculate my own mana reserves…”

n“You’re really too arrogant! !” Second Lieutenant Wade had taken Locke’s words as a provocation and urged his Sky Spider to increase the intensity of its absorption!

nNaturally, Locke had no intent to provoke him.

nHe had been cultivating his Mana Meditation Technique and Incantation almost every day. It was to the point that he was no longer able to tell how much mana he possessed.

nRealizing that his opponent had no intention to answer him, Locke simply transferred his mana over at a greater rate. “Let’s see how much you can absorb…”

nSecond Lieutenant Wade felt an unprecedented amount of mana being transferred over. A greedy expression soon appeared on his face…

n‘I’ll take all of his mana!’

nAs the seconds ticked by, the Daemon Fang soldiers began to realize that something was amiss.

nLocke remained calm, and his Gale Wings had shown no signs of disappearing!

n“Just… Just how much mana does this guy have?” Wade’s Sky Spider was already warning him that it was about to reach its limit!

nThe other twelve soldiers had also reached the their mana cores’ limits. One after another, they shouted, “Second Lieutenant Wade, don’t transfer any more mana to me!”

n“Enough! Enough…”

n“I can’t take it anymore…”

n“My mana core is about to overflow! Quickly stop…”

nWade had already detached the threads that were transferring mana.

nWade’s own mana core was also about to overflow.

nLeft with no other option, he could only slow down the absorption rate and shout to Joey who was high up, “Master! We’re about to overflow! You can make your move now!”

nJoey’s face was filled with shock!

n‘Is such a thing even possible?’

n‘Is this kid a walking mana factory?’

nAfter coming back to his senses, he began to gather the mana in his body in preparation to unleash the final Icicle Rain!

nMeanwhile, Wade was in trouble. He realized that Locke was gripping his spider’s absorption thread tightly!

nSky Spider was unable to cut it off, as it was actually its tongue!

nSeizing Wade’s hesitation, Locke deliberately transferred a large amount of mana into the thread!

nSky Spider attempted to yank the thread back, but it found that it was impossible!

nLocke had immense physical strength due to his Tier 2 Body Tempering, after all!

nUnable to absorb any more mana, Sky Spider’s body exploded with a bang!

n“Holy cr*p! Isn’t Locke too strong?”

n“How much mana does this kid have?”

n“I’m not sure… But he definitely has more than Instructor Jacques…”

n“What a genius!”

nThe instructors and students were unable to control their excitement!

n“Continue to restrain him! My skill is almost ready!” Joey shouted!

nThe twelve Daemon Fang soliders soldiers immediately reinforced the net.

nAlas, Locke had already fused his Battle Beasts!

nHe looked around, and once he had confirmed that there were no bystanders in the vicinity, Locke began to accumulate mana as well!

n“Sir! That’s a fusion beast, right? Or is it a combination skill?” Tristan looked at the Battle Beast beside Locke and asked.

nHobrick had a smile on his face as he answered, “Hehehe… This kid is full of surprises. His achievements in this field are already above mine…”

n“Hurry up and take cover! Joey’s going to use the previous move again!” An instructor reminded.

nTristan recalled the destructiveness of the icicles from before and immediately ordered Black Tortoise to dig underground.

n“Locke… feel the wrath of my Icicle Rain! Your divine beasts will fall under my power!” Joey had poured in almost all of his mana for the Icicle Rain.

nThe Giant Whale that had finished gathering mana, and it spat out twice as much seawater into the field!

n“What a coincidence, I’m done as well…” Locke opened his eyes and activated his fusion skill — Blazing Skies!

nThe temperature in the air began to rise!

nThe houses in the ruins were also emitting black smoke!

nIn just a dozen seconds, the area was completely engulfed in flames!

n“AH… !”

nAnother few seconds passed.

nThe twelve Daemon Fang soldiers had been set aflame, and they were writhing in pain!

nJoey’s shoulder was also burned by the high temperature!

nHe knew that the situation was very dangerous, and as such, he immediately sought shelter within his Giant Whale’s mouth!

nAt the same time, his dense and sharp icicles had descended!

nJoey, who was sensed that his skill had been activated, shouted, “Die, Locke!”

nHowever, he did not expect his icicles to immediately melt upon entering Locke’s Blazing Skies domain!

nBy the time they reached the ground, they had been reduced to puddles of water!

n“What?” Joey was in disbelief.

nThe attack was not something no Beastmasters could easily deal with!

nIt was at this moment, that he finally realized how strong Locke truly was!

nHe gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, “Giant Whale, let’s retreat!”

nAlthough he needed to re-plan his strategy, Joey was confident that he would be able to escape. After all, his Giant Whale’s defense was the strongest within the Holy City.

nHowever, his whale did not move or respond at all.

n“Giant Whale! Giant Whale!”

nJoey constantly hit the whale’s teeth.

nSuddenly, he smelled a sizzling smell!

nBlack smoke was rising from the whale’s body!

n“What’s going on? !”Joey began to beat the whale impatiently. He was eager to know the situation outside!

nWhile looking at the Giant Whale that was being consumed by flames, Locke commented, “I haven’t eaten whale meat before, I wonder what it tastes like!”

nHe then transformed Infinite Fire Element into a huge fork.

nHe flew to the whale’s back and gouged out a piece of its meat!

nHe immediately tore off a piece and chewed it in his mouth. After a few seconds, he spat it out again. “Pah! Pfft! Bleh! It’s burnt…”

nThe power of the Blazing Skies was too great. Locke made a mental note not to use it for any barbecues in the future.

nWhile staring at the gaping hole on his Giant Whale’s back, Joey knelt on the ground in despair.

nHe was in a daze.

nHe had clearly calculated all aspects and made all the necessary preparations. ‘How did I still lose?’

n‘It’s all because Locke!’

n‘It’s his damn fault!’

n‘Everything was going smoothly before he arrived!’

nJoey used both his fists to continuously pound the whale’s jaw, completely ignoring the fact that his body was starting to burn as well.

nJoey began to laugh maniacally. He had gone crazy, and he could no longer feel the pain caused by the fire.

nVery quickly, he too, was engulfed in flames, and a few minutes later, both him and his whale had turned into a mountain of ashes.
