n“Big Brother! You must defeat this brat, I’m very interested in his blood!” After saying that, Moto licked his lips.

nAlva did not reply immediately. He knew that his little brother’s “bad habit” was acting up again.

nIn the preparation area of the Federation’s Advanced Beastmaster Academy, Tristan stated with a shameful expression, “I underestimated the enemy. I should take full responsibility…”

nJohn, who had just recovered, comforted him, “It doesn’t matter. We still have Locke, no?”

n“John, I know that you and the principal think highly of Locke, but he’s still too young. I’m going to plan an escape route. That Alva will definitely go after us…”

n“It seems that you still don’t understand Locke’s potential…” John did not argue anymore. Instead, after taking another glance at Locke, he then leaned on the wall and took a nap.

nAt this moment, the nobles were gossiping amongst themselves.

n“Is this the kid who killed Andrew?”

n“Isn’t he too young?”

n“Did someone make a mistake?”

n“It doesn’t matter. He’ll end up just like the previous representative. Once this duel is settled, the Federal Academy will no longer have a place in the top three institutions of the Federation…”

nThe nobles were not the only ones doubting Locke’s abilities. Even the regular civilians were voicing their doubts.

n“Has the principal gone senile?”

n“Yeah! How could he let such a young Beastmaster participate in this battle?”

n“Strength is all that matters, and Alva is consistently ranked in the top five in the Holy City! Although Locke has defeated Andrew before, that doesn’t mean that he’s a match for Alva…”

n“Sigh, I can already imagine the dystopian future waiting for us commoners…”

nFifteen minutes later, under the signal of the judge, Alva returned to the stage.

nAs soon as he came up, his Battle Beasts appeared on the ground and in the air.

n“Kid, I still can’t figure out how you killed Andrew… but it doesn’t matter. You won’t be as lucky as your instructors. I’ll have your head!”

nLocke paid no attention to Alva’s words. After picking his ears, he summoned his three Battle Beasts as well.

nHis action had caused the audience to cry out in surprise. No one had expected that a young Beastmaster below the age of twenty to be able to control three Battle Beasts!

n“Sky Wolf!”

nAlva was not intimidated in the slightest. After receiving Alva’s command, the helicopter in the air started firing missiles.

nThe machine guns on the Heaven-disrupting Tank also began to fire.

nLocke had already memorized Alva’s attack patterns while he was in the preparation area.

nUsing Spatial Movement, Locke put distance between himself and Alva!

nAlva thought that Locke was showing signs of cowardice and ordered his two Battle Beasts to keep up the pressure!

nHe wanted to use his overwhelming firepower to drive Locke to despair.

nDespite the overwhelming barrage of projectiles, Locke did not panic. With the help of his Gale Wings and the Spatial Movement skill, Alva was unable to land a single hit on Locke.

nThis greatly hurt Alva’s pride. In all this time, no Beastmaster had ever dodge his ground and air beasts’ combined attacks!

nAs such, he began to expand the range of his attacks, and the number of missiles doubled!

nLocke ordered Lil’ White to use Freezing Arrival, and both parties’ projectiles began to collide into one another!

nAlva was injured by the continuous rain of icicles. This was something that his pride could not accept!

nAfter all, he had yet to land a single hit on Locke!

nNoticing that his opponent was always casting skills from afar, Alva had wrongly assumed that Locke was not adept in close combat. Thus, Alva commanded, “Sky Wolf! Heaven-disrupting Tank, charge forward and tear him apart! !”

nThe Battle Beast named Sky Wolf immediately underwent a transformation. It transformed into the form of a robot in the air, and two sabers appeared out of thin air in its hands.

nUnder the acceleration of its propeller, it charged towards Locke together with Heaven-disrupting Tank!

nSeeing the two big guys charging towards him, Locke smiled and immediately commanded Lil’ White to activate Light and Dark Spatial Slash!!

nThe lethal wheels of ice spun rapidly!

nIt took Alva’s beasts everything they had to withstand the attack!

n“Hold strong! This kid only knows how to fight from afar! The moment we close our distance, he’ll be at a disadvantage!”

nThe two Battle Beasts heard their master’s order and tried their best to resist!

nHowever, they still took massive damage from Locke’s attack.

nMoreover, due to the freezing effects of the ice element, the two Battle Beasts’ movements had become sluggish.

nThe fire element in Locke’s hands transformed into two domineering battle axes, and with the support of Gale Wings, Locke charged forward!

nWhat surprised everyone was that the seemingly frail Locke was able to go toe-to-toe against the robots.

nHe was not at a disadvantage at all!

nThrough his mental connection with his Battle Beasts, Alva could feel Locke’s strength, and he was beginning to worry!

nHowever, all the nobles had their eyes on him. Due to his status as the eldest son of the White family, he refused to back down!

n“Destroy him!” Alva shouted. As if they had been injected with stimulants, the two Battle Beasts’ strength and speed increased exponentially!

nLocke was finally excited!

nThe two beasts before him had tough defenses. It was the perfect time for him to test his new combat tactic!

n“Lil’ White!”

nThe eyes of the two-headed snake in the distance flashed. After charging up its strength for a short while, it fired off two Light and Dark Spatial Slashes again!

nAlva, who had already learned of the skills’ destructive power, took evasive maneuvers. He ordered his beasts to retreat, and they managed to evade the attack by a hair’s breadth!

nLocke had anticipated his opponent’s move. However, his Gale Wings faster, and he had arrived beside the two enemy beasts’ in a flash!

nLocke then launched Hurricane Piercer at them!

nAlva did not expect Locke’s move, and it was all he could do to command his Battle Beasts to shield him!

nLocke had chosen this moment to launch his final blow!

n“Lil’ White!”

n“Hiss…”

nThe two-headed snake responded as its master requested. It returned to Locke’s side, and then with another Spatial Movement, it arrived in front of the two Battle Beasts that were blocking the Hurricane Piercer!

nA long-handled broadsword slashed past the two Battle Beasts’ waist!

nThe two tyrannical robots were also split into two!

nTheir upper body and lower body were completely severed!

nLocke had unleashed his combo in a split second. Many people present did not even notice what he had done!

nMoreover, the battle had become unfairly one-sided!

n“Good job, kid!” Tristan cheered!

nOn the other hand, the nobles had ugly expressions plastered across their faces!

nHowever, the eldest son of the White family did not have the luxury to lament the his Battle Beasts’ state. After all, Locke was approaching him!

nRemember, this was a battle to death!

nAfter stabilizing his state of mind, Alva used his final move!

n“Beast Fusion!”
