Under Zhou Ming’s command, it sprayed venom directly toward the Lion-Tiger Beast’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Inkband’s first time using such an ability in the Beast Arena. Shi Lei immediately urged his own beast to exert its power mid-air, showing its ability to hover and evade the serpent’s venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Lei didn’t know what species of serpent Inkband was, nor could he distinguish the type of venom it used. If it happened to be a corrosive toxin and entered his beast’s eyes, his beast would be completely ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during that half-breath gap created by the dodge, Inkband, under Zhou Ming’s control, did not retreat but advanced instead—darting straight beneath the airborne Lion-Tiger Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tail struck directly at the Lion-Tiger Beast’s reproductive organ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woo… woo…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lion-Tiger Beast seemed to lose all strength instantly, collapsing onto the ground. Its hind legs clamped tightly together as it let out a low, whimpering groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could react, Inkband, like a flash of black lightning, bit into the Lion-Tiger Beast, injecting a large amount of paralyzing venom into its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd finally came to their senses, Inkband had already returned to Zhou Ming’s side, while the Lion-Tiger Beast could no longer even whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Jin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Lei of Xin Hui Construction Group rushed to his fallen beast’s side. Seeing the lifeless Lion-Tiger Beast, he turned angrily toward Zhou Ming and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did your beast do?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say more, the Lion-Tiger Beast’s vitality completely faded. Its Beast Tamer, Shi Lei, suffered a severe mental backlash, collapsing to his knees while clutching his head in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nice! That’s too damn satisfying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the result in the arena, Wang Yan was so excited he nearly jumped to the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming turned back and flashed a victorious gesture toward Wang Yan, then shouted toward the other side of the Beast Arena,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Zhou Ming. Today, I intend to win three rounds in a row. I wonder if Xin Hui Construction Group is willing to accept?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he looked across the arena toward the elevated platform where the Xin Hui Construction Group’s members sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Hu Peng’s once relaxed face turned completely dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the Ironhand Gang members carrying back Shi Lei and his beast’s corpses, his expression was so gloomy it could drip water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, let me take the next match.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short man standing behind Hu Peng stepped forward and volunteered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, let me do it! I’ll avenge Lei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man, his eyes fierce and full of rage—clearly close to Shi Lei—shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peng put down his silk scarf and golden-rimmed glasses, then stood up and removed his suit jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll handle this match myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed Zhou Ming’s control over his beast, Hu Peng knew this was no ordinary Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura emanating from Zhou Ming was something only those who had survived the wilderness possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing this round had already brought disgrace upon Xin Hui Construction Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to reclaim everything in one decisive strike, or he wouldn’t be able to answer to his superiors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To think Wang Tiezhu actually found such a talented young man… You don’t need to win three rounds. Defeat me, and today’s arena match will be yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peng slowly stepped into the arena and said calmly to Zhou Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A manager of a major group stepping in personally? Aren’t you afraid of damaging your reputation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, this is a special courtesy reserved for a genius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peng, born and raised in the wilderness, didn’t care in the slightest about appearances or status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately summoned his own beast—a five-meter-long golden cobra, thick as a man’s thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Golden Cobra!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Hu Peng summoned it, Wang Yan, standing on the platform, cried out in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Cobra, like the Viperhorn Venom Python, was originally a native species of Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the appearance of the Dimensional Rifts, they mutated into Ferocious Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a small portion of the species successfully evolved, each Golden Cobra was among the strongest of low-tier Ferocious Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its terrifying neurotoxin combined with lightning-like speed made the Golden Cobra and the Viperhorn Venom Python the twin stars of Blue Star’s low-tier serpent-type Ferocious Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ranking of low-tier Ferocious Beast overlords extended from ten to twenty, the Golden Cobra would surely be on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Ming, come back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not an opponent Zhou Ming’s beast could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan immediately shouted for him to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Zhou Ming simply waved a hand, signaling him to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A serpent-type Ferocious Beast? Seems my luck’s with me today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he removed his colored contact lenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of dark-golden eyes resembling serpent pupils was revealed, giving his entire aura a sinister, bewitching quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taming over five hundred Ironthread Snakes, Zhou Ming’s eyes had gradually transformed to resemble those of a serpent, forcing him to wear lenses to conceal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The match begins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the witness, Lin Feibao saw that Hu Peng had summoned his beast and immediately announced the start of the arena battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of ability is that? A secret art?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the panic coming from his own beast, Hu Peng’s expression darkened as he stared into Zhou Ming’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the distance, only he could see those eerie dark-golden serpent pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not something you need to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming shook his head slightly, not answering Hu Peng’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he already had some speculation about why the Serpent Eyes had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beast Tamers received feedback from their Ferocious Beasts, but such effects were not immediate—it took time for them to strengthen the Tamer’s physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his Spiritual Seed, Zhou Ming had tamed an enormous number of Ironthread Snakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the influence of the Serpent Saliva Fruit, the feedback most strengthened not his toxin resistance, flexibility, or agility—but rather his serpent-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had removed his contact lenses because he discovered his eyes could exert a spiritual pressure that intimidated serpent-type beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When combined with his Spiritual Power, the effect reached an entirely new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trying to act mysterious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Peng was no stranger to battle and knew that raw strength was what mattered most. He immediately commanded his beast to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Cobra lived up to its reputation for lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fangs, each as long as a finger, glinted as it lunged straight at Zhou Ming’s face, clearly intending to bite him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Zhou Ming did not dodge. He knew it would be pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he activated the Spiritual Seed and the serpent cluster within his Spiritual Sea, spinning them like a glowing nebula, radiating brilliant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the physical world, the Golden Cobra—just as it reached him—suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying pressure emanated from Zhou Ming’s eyes, an overwhelming dominance akin to the will of a Serpent God, rendering the cobra completely motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That brief instant of paralysis was all Inkband needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It leapt from Zhou Ming’s shoulder, its tail like a mighty axe cleaving the air, striking the Golden Cobra squarely on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent’s open jaws snapped shut instantly, its raised upper body slamming onto the alloy-plated floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its skull cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Golden Cobra could recover from the paralysis, Inkband injected most of its paralyzing venom directly into the creature’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Inkband returned to Zhou Ming’s shoulder, Zhou Ming quickly retreated a few steps, distancing himself from the dying Golden Cobra—cautious of a final, desperate strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Golden Cobra’s resistance to poison was formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even severely wounded, it could not be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>",1286,"2026-06-06T06:20:25.930Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c16667e4e873090147e0a1c93d38c13768caa6089ca4c9f92440afb63ca4cfc","beast-taming-sequence-evolution-chapter-69","beast-taming-sequence-evolution-chapter-67",251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-sequence-evolution-cover.jpg"]
