Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

"Shen Fei, take this!"

Lear clenched the ball of mud in his hand and threw it at Shen Fei. Shen Fei nimbly bent his waist and dodged aside.

The dirty ball of mud brushed past his body and smashed into a tree in the distance.

Creak, creak...

The moment the ball of mud touched the withered tree trunk, white smoke immediately gushed out from the point of contact. The tall tree trunk also quickly melted into a pool of foul-smelling poisonous liquid under the effect of the mud.

Shen Fei glanced at the tree with trepidation. This time, he had to end the battle quickly!

"Flame Owl!" Shen Fei focused his mind and snapped his fingers.

The feathers of the scarlet bird burned like flames. It flapped its wings and flew into the air like an arrow. Golden sparks separated from the ends of its feathers and sprinkled onto the ground like a drizzle.

"You're still not going to send out the Three-clawed Golden Dragon?" Lear haughtily swept away the sparks that fell on his body. "My current strength is far from what a useless spirit beast like yours can match. Asking it to stop me is like a mantis trying to block a car."

Lear looked at Shen Fei and snorted. "If you don't release the dragon now, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your own life."

'Is that so?' Shen Fei tightly clenched his fists and clutched his own arm in deep contemplation.

Lear did look much stronger than before, but that did not mean that Shen Fei had the strength to fight him!

"Although it's an old trick, it's more than enough to deal with you."

The shower of sparks just now was actually the seeds of the infernal brambles. They had already deeply embedded themselves into Lear's flesh when he was not paying attention. They were only waiting for Shen Fei's command to break out.

Snap!

The moment Shen Fei snapped his fingers, the sparks that were embedded between Lear's skin and flesh took root and grew wildly in the mud. Countless sharp sprouts pierced through Lear's skin and flesh. The hot thorns wrapped around his body, encircling him.

"Aargh!!"

Lear screamed in pain. Due to the pain, the small holes all over his body were spitting out purple poison in retaliation. However, the brambles were not affected by the poison at all and continued to grow wildly on Lear's body. After a while, the lush fiery brambles wrapped tightly around Lear, tying him up firmly.

"Do you have anything else to say now?"

Shen Fei calmly toward Lear. Looking at how tightly he was entangled, he should be unable to move. He could use this opportunity to finish him off in one fell swoop!

"Any last words?" When Shen Fei was done speaking, the thorns on Lear's body suddenly became long and hard, piercing deep into Lear's flesh.

"...You should be asking yourself this!"

Lear laughed, and the pain on his face disappeared. His entire body was quickly melting, turning into a pool of stinky mud that flowed out from the gaps between the infernal brambles.

"Not good!"

Seeing the mud rush toward him, Shen Fei reflexively dodged to the side!

'As expected, he still has a backup plan!' Shen Fei frowned as he calculated his next attack.

"I've already told you, Shen Fei." Lear proudly raised his arm and once again gathered a huge ball of mud. "You can't hurt me with your little tricks. If you want to live, quickly send out your Three-clawed Golden Dragon!"

"With your strength, you're not worthy." Shen Fei's face was cold as he raised his arm and pointed at Lear. Since this move did not work, he would try another one!

"Flame Owl, use—"

"Ice Tiger, Ice Energy blast!"

Before Shen Fei could finish his words, Zhang Youcheng, riding on a snow-white Ice Tiger, suddenly landed between the two.

"Roar!"

The Ice Tiger quickly lowered its head, and a huge amount of ice energy gathered at its neck. It opened its mouth, and the powerful energy turned into a dazzling pillar of light that gushed out of its mouth!

The moment Lear was hit by the huge impact, he was ruthlessly sent flying into the bushes in the distance!

Shen Fei hesitantly looked at Zhang Youcheng. "What are you doing?"

'When did he become so kind?'

"Hmph," Zhang Youcheng snorted lightly, his eyes full of pride. "What else can I do? Of course, I'm here to lend you a hand, Shen Fei. Just now, when you were fighting with this spirit beast, I was hiding nearby and quietly observing."

Zhang Youcheng's eyes flashed with contempt. "I came out to help you because I saw that you couldn't handle it anymore. What? You don't want to accept it?"

Shen Fei was speechless as his mouth twitched. This was the first time he had seen someone talk about kill-stealing in such a snobbish manner. If he really wanted to help, would he have waited until he saw Lear at a disadvantage?

"Don't bother me if there's nothing else."

Shen Fei did not want to argue with idiots. He turned around and walked into the depths of the forest.

Just that attack from Zhang Youcheng was definitely not enough to kill Lear. If he wanted to completely annihilate Lear, he would have to put in more effort.

"Shen Fei, don't be in such a hurry to leave!" Zhang Youcheng grabbed Shen Fei's shoulder and turned him around, proudly waving the jade tablet in his hand in front of him. "I'm already in the top ten of the entire school assessment. Don't you have anything to say as my examiner?"

"Sure, sure, well done." Shen Fei gave a perfunctory grunt and turned around to leave.

He did not have the time to care about boring rankings. He would get rid of Lear first and leave the rest for later.

"I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

The more Zhang Youcheng spoke, the more arrogant he became. He stood in front of Shen Fei, deliberately blocking the way.

"Your Flame Owl is already having such a hard time fighting against an exotic beast, let alone beating me in this examination. I advise you to fulfill the promise between us as soon as possible. Now, be good and go cancel the engagement with Aloy!"

Shen Fei coldly looked at him. "You'd better focus on increasing your points. With your measly score, I can catch up in less than a day."

After saying this, Shen Fei pushed him away and quickly walked into the forest.

"Shen Fei, you'd better—"

Zhang Youcheng quickly stepped forward and was about to grab Shen Fei when he was suddenly pulled back by someone, falling straight onto the grass.

"Roar!"

The Ice Tiger cried out anxiously. It opened its mouth wide and suddenly bit the person behind Zhang Youcheng.

"You're so noisy!"

Lear did not even bother to look, and just threw the mud in his hand onto the head of the Ice Tiger.

The moment it came into contact with the mud, half of the Ice Tiger's head was melted away. It fell to the ground, his limbs twitching.

'It's over...'

Zhang Youcheng stared in horror at the Ice Tiger as its body twitched in a pool of blood, and his heart was beating wildly.

The exotic beast he wanted to kill for himself earlier was not dead...
