Chapter 97: This slap, let's collect some interest first!

Jiang Che hovered in mid-air, suppressing all the Spirit Beasts in the arena with his own power.

This shocking scene was like a brand, deeply etched into everyone's minds.

"Such a tyrannical bloodline pressure; it is truly worthy of being the Spirit Beast that even that person praised endlessly..."

The Crown Prince of the Da Jin, standing on the high platform, watched Jiang Che in the arena with glowing eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

The greed in his eyes was almost undisguised.

As the center of power for the Da Jin, in his view, any Spirit Beast within the Da Jin should belong to the imperial family.

Especially a Spirit Beast with such a tyrannical bloodline and extraordinary talent; it should not be left among the common people. Only they, the members of the royal family, were qualified to sign a contract with it.

The Dean of Tianlong Academy, standing to the side, noticed the Crown Prince's gaze and subconsciously frowned.

"What an amazing Spirit Beast! How domineering!"

The Princess looked at Jiang Che in the air, her eyes sparkling with stars.

"Princess, it seems you really like that Spirit Beast."

The attendant beside the Princess said with a smile.

"Of course, it is incredibly cute and adorable when it is not moving."

"Once it starts fighting, it is like it has become a different Spirit Beast!"

"It is just like a king among beasts; that overwhelming, world-sweeping dominance is incomparable to ordinary Spirit Beasts!"

The Princess nodded as she spoke.

Ever since she had held Jiang Che at close range, she had felt unable to put it down.

"You can rest assured about this, Princess."

"The Crown Prince dotes on you very much. As long as it is something you like, the Crown Prince will definitely be able to get it for you, even if it is this Spirit Beast."

The attendant standing beside the Princess said as if it were a matter of course.

Hearing this, the smile on the Princess's face vanished instantly.

She then frowned and looked at the figure of her father on the high platform.

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart...

At this moment, inside the Secret Realm, the eyes of Bai Jinglang and the others were filled with shock as they looked at Jiang Che.

They had imagined many situations that might occur during the battle.

But they never expected that the opponent's single Spirit Beast could actually scare all of their Spirit Beasts into lying on the ground, unable to move!

Looking at Jiang Che in mid-air, Bai Jinglang's pupils contracted; his Spirit Beast, the Two-Headed White Snake, was a creature with a Master Grade bloodline!

He had never imagined that the Two-Headed White Snake would be suppressed because of the opponent's bloodline!

Could it be that the Spirit Beast in the air actually possessed a Legendary Grade bloodline?!

This was simply too outrageous! "No, no matter what bloodline this Spirit Beast has, I must win this match!"

Bai Jinglang's gaze darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Don't just stand there, follow me!"

Bai Jinglang roared, then forcibly used his spiritual power to drive his Spirit Beast, the Two-Headed White Snake, and flew directly toward the distance, wanting to escape the range of Jiang Che's pressure.

The other three followed suit upon seeing this.

They hurriedly awakened their respective Spirit Beasts and fled directly into the distance.

The four of them, including Bai Jinglang, were very experienced in battle. Although Jiang Che's sudden appearance had disrupted their plans, their minds remained very clear.

The rules of this team competition stated that the winner would be decided only when one side was completely eliminated or one side conceded.

Otherwise, it could only be counted as a draw in the end.

Seeing that Jiang Che had suppressed all the Spirit Beasts present with his own power, Bai Jinglang and the others realized that there had likely been a change in the battle situation.

Therefore, they prepared to flee the battlefield immediately; as long as they could stall for time, it would at least be a draw.

"Yin Kou! Where do you think you're going!"

Watching Yin Kou flee into the distance, Yi Zimeng's eyes were filled with killing intent, and she roared as she followed him.

With a deep blood feud right before her eyes, she could not let him go.

However, Yin Kou's speed was simply too fast.

Yi Zimeng had only just broken through to become a Spirit-level Beast Master, while Yin Kou was already a Second-tier King Grade Beastmaster.

There was a major realm difference between them, and most crucially, the King-rank Yin Kou had also mastered the ability to fly through the air.

His movement speed while fleeing was simply not something Yi Zimeng could catch up to.

"Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly rang out.

The next second, everyone saw a golden light flash, heading straight for Yin Kou.

It was precisely the Kirin Seal that Jiang Che had thrown out.

This golden Kirin Seal slammed directly into the back of the flying Yin Kou.

The Kirin Seal's special spirit-suppressing effect activated, and the spiritual power within Yin Kou's body stopped circulating instantly.

The light wings formed by spiritual power on Yin Kou's back also vanished, and he, who had been flying, plummeted toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"Hahahaha! Well done, Xiaobai! Knock them all down!"

Because she could not catch up to Bai Jinglang and the others, Hu Xiaoxiao was laughing happily on the ground.

Yi Zimeng looked back at Jiang Che, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She then accelerated and chased after Yin Kou.

"Forget about him, we cannot all be held back!"

Bai Jinglang only looked back at Yin Kou once, with no intention of stopping at all.

The three of them continued to flee toward the outer perimeter of the battlefield.

"Kou'er!"

"Brother! Be careful!"

Yin Kou and his daughter, who were watching the battle from the VIP seats outside, were incredibly nervous at this moment and could not help but exclaim out loud.

The two had originally assumed that Yin Kou, with his King Rank cultivation, could easily crush Luo Shuiyan and the others.

They had not expected Jiang Che's strength to be so heaven-defying, directly turning the tide of the battle.

Without the support of his Spirit Beast and with his spiritual power restricted, Yin Kou was now pale with fright.

"Save me! Don't run away! Save me!"

Seeing that Bai Jinglang and the others did not even look back, Yin Kou immediately shouted in a panic.

He had only just stumbled to his feet when Luo Shuiyan and the other three had already surrounded him.

"I surrender! I surrender! I concede this match! You cannot attack me!"

Seeing the murderous look in Yi Zimeng's eyes, Yin Kou surrendered without the slightest hesitation.

Although he was in a sorry state, he could not care about his pride at a time like this.

Yin Kou knew very well that there was a deep blood feud between him and Yi Zimeng.

If he had been even half a second slower, the short blade in Yi Zimeng's hand would likely have already sliced across his throat.

Although casualties often occurred in the Hundred Schools League, there was still a rule that as long as a Beast Tamer surrendered, one could not continue to use heavy-handed tactics.

After all, this was only a competition, not a real battle.

Those who were able to participate in the Hundred Schools League were all elites from their respective academies.

The fury in Yi Zimeng's eyes was practically gushing out, and her hand trembled incessantly; just as she was about to swing her blade, she was stopped by Luo Shuiyan.

Looking into Luo Shuiyan's eyes, Yi Zimeng took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

Slap! Although she spared Yin Kou's life, Yi Zimeng still gave him a fierce slap across the face.

"This is the interest you owe me!"

The King Rank Yin Kou had surrendered to the Spirit Grade Yi Zimeng and had even been slapped.

The members of the Yin Family had faces as dark as could be; in front of so many experts, their family had completely lost face.

The supervising elder in the air acted quickly to remove Yin Kou from the Secret Realm Battlefield.

At this time, Bai Jinglang and his group had already fled to the side of a lake within the Secret Realm space.
