nBang! Bang!

nLocke’s two consecutive punches had broken the centipede before him in half.

nMeanwhile, the Lethal Scorpion and Killer Wasp pursued Locke closely.

n“Fatal Poison Lock!” Andre shouted loudly. The poisonous scorpion lashed out, and attempted to sting Locke!

nThe poison on the scorpion’s tail was capable of paralyzing its opponent’s brain!

nHowever, Gale Wings had made Locke extremely agile. He effortlessly dodged the blow.

nAlthough the three of them seemed to have the upper hand in the battle, in reality, they were unable to cause any damage to Locke.

nThe more the mindless audience cheered for them, the more frustrated Andre became!

n“Let’s use that move!”

nShaw and Augustine nodded upon hearing Andre’s suggestion and they immediately issued telepathic commands to their Battle Beasts.

nShaw’s centipede was the first to act. It twisted its body and began to coil around the edge of the dueling platform. Then, it began to surround the place in a systematic manner. Before long, the huge centipede had covered the entire platform!

nThe lights had been blocked, and even the referee was isolated from the battle!

n“Solid Suture!” Shaw shouted again.

nThe centipede’s armor began to dissolve, and the black liquid that it formed immediately sealed all the gaps!

nThe centipede’s body had formed a huge enclosed space!

n“Hey! Can’t you guys turn on the Lights?” Locke looked at the pitch-black surroundings and ridiculed.

nThe three students who were wearing night vision devices mentally laughed at Locke.

n“His two-headed snake is stuck outside. There are only two Battle Beasts in here!” Augustine’s Killer Wasp was levitating in the air. Aside from its poison stinger, it was also carrying six poison bombs in each of its arms.

nMoreover, Andre’s Lethal Scorpion was also flickering every once in a while. It was obviously accumulating power to unleash a skill!

nThe referee knocked on the centipede, but there was no response. In response, he then looked at the secretary general’s viewing platform to seek further instructions.

nThe subordinate of the secretary-general picked up the microphone and said, “Mr. secretary-general says that it doesn’t matter. He believes that once the enclosure is removed, the victor would be decided.”

n“Rosetti, what should we do?” Lawrence was very anxious.

n“Trust the captain, there shouldn’t be a problem…” However, Rosetti’s terrified gaze had already betrayed her words.

nShe had only spoken those words to appease Lawrence.

nSome of the spectators who did not place any bets began to leave the arena.

n“It’s over, let’s go…”

n“Alpha University is too strong, there’s no longer any suspense in their battles. What’s the point in watching..”

n“Let’s go, let’s go…”

nBack in the centipede’s enclosed space, the three Alpha University students had taken up a new strategy.

nThey were no longer attacking relentlessly.

nAndre shouted, “Locke! To be honest, I admire you very much. Although you’ve killed the person I sent to recruit you, I’m willing to overlook the matter. As such, I hope that you can appreciate my kindness and join us. You will receive unimaginable resources!”

nAs expected, the wretched middle-aged man from before was Andre’s subordinate.

n“You are the only one in this continent who that has been recruited twice by my Young Master! Alpha University is a place where the strong gather! Once you’ve joined our ranks, you’ll obtain all the money and woman you want. Kneel down and swear allegiance to my young master!” Augustine was keeping close watch on Locke.

nLocke dug his ears and said indifferently, “What the f*ck is wrong with you nobles? Why do you always want others to kneel for you? If you like kneeling so much, why don’t you kneel yourself?”

nShaw barked, “Brat! How dare you talk to our young master like that! Do you not want to live anymore?”

nAndre gritted his teeth. He knew that Locke would not submit to him.

nAfter adjusting his state of mind, Andre opened his eyes and laughed sinisterly. “Hahaha… Have you forgotten about the rules, Shaw? We’re not allowed to kill anyone! Otherwise, we can kiss the Dragon Core goodbye! However, there’s nothing stopping us from making him a cripple! Locke, it’s a pity, but you’ll lose all your limbs today. You can regret your actions on the hospital bed…”

nAfter a pause, he shouted, “Release!”

nThe three poison-type Battle Beasts had finished accumulating their power!

n“Ci… Ci… Ci… Ci…”

nAt this moment, a burst of gas was released in the enclosed sealed space.

nThe Killer Wasp had thrown all of its poison bombs onto the ground.

nThe Alpha University instructors who heard the gaseous explosions revealed gratified expressions.

nIt was a tactic that they had thought of the previous night.

nThey did not expect Andre and the other two to execute it so perfectly.

n“The young master’s future is limitless…”

n“That’s right. Once he obtains the Dragon Core, his strength will increase even further. Once that happens…”

n“We’ll annex all the Beastmaster schools on the continent!”

nWhile the instructors conversed…

nAndre and the other two leaped out of the enclosed space.

n“W-What happened to Locke?” Lawrence’s mind started to run wild once he noticed that the other three were unscathed.

nRosetti’s began to tremble. The Alpha University students were poison experts. Although Locke was indeed powerful, there was no telling whether or not poison affected him.

nAfter all, most experts would usually succumb to poison.

n“Mr. Secretary General, the referee asked whether he should declare Alpha University as the victors?”

nSecretary General Peter did not respond to his subordinate’s question. His eyes were fixed on the platform opposite him.

n“What’s the rush? Is he certain that Locke has been defeated? As a referee, he needs to be more careful!”

nAlthough those were his words, Peter’s hands were trembling slightly.

n“Congratulations, young master!”

n“How many consecutive championships has this been?”

n“The Dragon Core is ours!”

nAlpha University’s preparation area was filled with jubilation.

nThe flag of Alpha Academy in the audience area was waved even more fiercely, and the cheers were endless.

nJust when everyone thought that the situation was set, a few loud noises came from the enclosed space!

n“Boom! Boom! Boom…”

nAugustine and Shaw immediately turned around towards the source of the noise. This meant that Locke had not been knocked out by the poisonous gas.

n“He’s definitely on his last legs! Let’s unload all of our mana and defeat him in one go!”

nAugustine and Shaw unleashed even more mana from their bodies, and in response, their Battle Beasts released even more poisonous gas into the enclosed space.

nSuddenly, Augustine’s eye flung open!

nHe could not believe what he was feeling!

nHe…

nHe could no longer contact his Killer Wasp!

n‘What on earth is going on inside?’

nAfter shaking his head, he tried to calm himself down. ‘I wasn’t serious just now, let me try again!’

nHowever, after closing his eyes, he was still unable to get a hold of his Battle Beast.

nHe was not alone.

nAndre was unable to contact his Battle Beast as well!
