n“Young master, what’s wrong?” An instructor asked upon noticing Andre’s strange expression.

nHowever, Andre was not paying any attention to him.

nHe was desperately trying to contact his Battle Beast.

nHowever, even after several tries, it was to no avail!

nThere were only three possibilities for this.

nOne, his Battle Beast was too far away. Two, the Battle Beast had abandoned him…

nAnd lastly…

nHis Battle Beast was dead!

n“!!! ”

nAndre and Augustine were shocked!

nThe first two possibilities were inapplicable to them.

n‘Could it be?’

nThe two of them hurriedly shouted, “Shaw! Take a look at the situation inside!”

nHowever, Shaw’s face was full of sweat. His mana was nearly exhausted.

nHe tried hard to squeeze out a sentence. “I…I don’t think I can hold out for much longer.”

nEveryone in the preparation area surrounded him, they were unsure what had happened.

n“What’s going on?”

n“Hurry up and say something, Shaw!”

nThere was finally some movement on the platform!

nBoom!

nA loud explosion had attracted everyone’s attention!

nThey looked up at the source of the noise, and they were immediately shocked by what they saw.

nShaw’s centipede’s head was flung into the air, and a young man with transparent wings and a flaming hammer was levitating in mid-air!

nIt was Locke!

n“God has answered our prayers!” Lawrence put down his praying hands, and his eyes were filled with joy!

nRosetti let out a heavy sigh of relief as her knees buckled.

nShe collapsed to the ground!

nShaw had noticed Locke’s attempt to break out of the airtight space a long time ago, and as a result, he was constantly expending his mana to strengthen the enclosure.

nHowever, Locke increased his power with every strike, and he was so focused on his task that he had no time to speak!

n“I’m feeling drowsy… !” Shaw had fully exhausted his mana, and he fainted!

nMoreover, as the centipede’s head was its vital spot, the Thousand-legged Centipede had dissipated as well!

nFurthermore, in the center of the combat platform, there were two Battle Beasts that had been split in half!

nEveryone gasped.

n‘Aren’t they the Lethal Scorpion and Killer Wasp?’

nThe scene had stunned everyone present, including the knowledgeable secretary-general, Peter!

nFor a moment, the entire arena was washed over by a wave of silence!

nLocke looked at Andre who was kneeling on the ground and said, “This move of yours is so boring! I can’t believe you put me in a cage together with those disgusting bugs! Moreover, they weren’t even attacking me! What a useless strategy!”

n‘Useless strategy?’

n‘What kind of joke is this??’

n‘The move was capable of wiping out tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield!’

n‘This man is calling it useless?’

n‘Just who on earth is Locke?’

n‘Was the poison gas ineffective?’

n‘Is a new era coming to the world of Beastmasters?’

nEveryone’s minds were filled with questions and excitement!

nThey racked their brains, but they were unable to figure out how Locke had come out unscathed!

nWith the Battle Beasts now dead, the poisonous gas within the battle platform had also dissipated.

nLocke dispelled his Fire God’s Armor.

nNaturally, Locke would keep the secret of his immunity towards poison to himself!

n‘I’ll let them guess by themselves!’

n“The… The champion of the Three Academies’ Martial Arts Display this year is the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy!” Peter’s voice spread throughout the entire competition venue through the speakers!

nThe audience had finally regained their senses at this moment!

nThe duel had ended in a shocking manner!

nAlthough most were clueless about the truth of the situation…

nWhat was more exciting than the birth of a new champion?

nThe cheers came like a tsunami!

nCountless flowers were thrown onto the platform!

nInto the air!

nAt Locke’s feet!

n“Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion…”

nUnder the audience’s cheers, Locke and his two teammates gradually approached the main stage.

nAs the highest ranking official in the stadium, Peter was naturally in charge of presenting the prizes.

n“Well done!” Peter took out the Dragon Core, placed it in a small box, and handed it to Locke.

nLocke, who was still calm, asked, “Sir, may I know what this item is used for?”

n“Hahaha! Bring it back to Hobrick and he’ll tell you!” Peter patted Locke’s shoulder and smiled in satisfaction.

nMeanwhile, the people in the Alpha University’s preparation area were still in shock.

nThey were still clueless as to what had happened!

nShaw, who might have a grasp of the situation, had fainted due to an exhaustion of mana.

nBased on their previous experience, it would take a few days for him to wake up.

nAndre and Augustine were fuming. They did not understand why their poison attack had failed!

nThe instructors did not bother to console them. Instead, they brought out their laptops.

nAfter all, their institution was renowned for nurturing poison-type Battle Beasts.

nShould news of their poison’s failure get out, their institution’s reputation would plunge.

nThey immediately offered a bounty of social media.

n Under what circumstances would poison be ineffective? There is a handsome reward if you can answer this question!

n How can one still kill an epic-rank enemy despite being poisoned? Please answer, it’s quite urgent…

nThis was the first time the instructors had ever encountered such a situation.

n“Alright! Children, I will personally send you back to the hotel to rest. Everyone will be invited to a banquet tonight! Hahaha…” Peter accompanied the three of them and left the main stage.

nNevertheless, the students from the Military Academy had not left. As soldiers, they needed to obey their instructors’ orders.

n“Instructor, they will be taking dinner with Secretary Peter later. Should we adjust our plans?” One of the students asked for further instructions.

nA middle-aged man wearing a military coat stood up. “Of course we should. We mustn’t hurt the secretary. Let’s monitor him for now. We’ll act later.”

nFollowing this, he then looked at the two rows of students standing at attention behind him. “All of you, head back to the hotel and rest. We have an important operation tonight!”

n“Understood!!”

nUpon returning to the hotel, Lawrence and Rossetti immediately headed for the showers.

nBoth of them were in a good mood.
