Chapter 80: The Hidden Spirit Beast Appears
“Cold Court bitch, daring to disrespect our Sorrowful Saintess! You’re gonna get what’s coming to you!!”
“You came here arrogant, you’ll leave on your knees.”
“Beep beep beep OOOO beep beep beep OOOO.” (Sound of angry shouting)
–Sea Concubine Palace, Sea Dou Hall
Despite the noisy chatter, the Saintess Candidate from the Cold Court clearly heard a few insults directed at her.
Her face hardened, and she angrily scanned the crowd, unable to locate the source of the heckling.
Calm down. This probably wasn’t a Sea Concubine Palace Spirit Master, but someone from another faction trying to stir up trouble…
Why wasn’t the Sorrowful Saintess coming out yet?
Her cultivation level, status, appearance, and spirit beast’s rank were all comparable to Bai He’s. She was even less famous. There was no reason for the Saintess to refuse her challenge.
Wait, could it be that the Sorrowful Saintess knew Bai He would forfeit and hadn’t even come?
As anxiety and confusion swirled within her, the chatter around her gradually died down, the entire hall falling silent.
A strange aura filled the air, and the Saintess Candidate from the Cold Court realized something.
She turned stiffly, her gaze drawn to a splash of azure water.
Whoosh~~
A massive, watery form surged, waves of water splashing outwards, large spiked pauldrons covering its shoulders.
[Dawn and Dusk Stage – Mid-rank Spirit Beast – Water Element Commander]
She had expected to see an ordinary Water Element and an Ice Spirit, or perhaps even the overwhelming presence of a Saint-rank.
But the sudden appearance of the Water Element Commander stunned everyone, their faces filled with confusion.
What was going on? This made no sense…
Where was the Sorrowful Saintess? Had she not appeared?
But summoning a spirit beast meant accepting the challenge, right?
“Water Swallowing Cloud.”
Boom!!
A powerful hurricane erupted around the Cold Court Saintess Candidate, a torrent of blue water swirling.
With a sharp cry, sea-blue scales rapidly grew, spreading outwards like a sea of clouds for a hundred meters.
A few seconds later, a long, majestic water dragon materialized, coiling around the center of the Sea Dou Hall, surrounded by swirling water.
[Dead Sea Stage – High-rank Spirit Beast – Water Swallowing Cloud]
The massive dragon, far larger than the Water Element Commander, its eyes radiating a chilling killing intent, seemed to be on a completely different level!
Despite the vast difference in both rank and aura, the audience remained silent.
The young Spirit Masters knew that a true Saint-rank spirit beast was standing before them, so close, yet so far away…
“Heh, I thought it was a Water Element and an Ice Spirit. What’s with this Water Element Commander?”
The girl from the Cold Court chuckled, her heart filled with a chilling certainty.
Even if the Sorrowful Saintess had summoned a high-rank Crystal King, it would have been too obvious a fake. Did she really think she could defeat her Water Swallowing Cloud with this?
But it wasn’t enough. She still couldn’t be certain it was the Variant Water Emperor. She had to force the Saint-rank to reveal its true form!
“Heh, I thought it was a Water Element and an Ice Spirit. What’s with this Water Element Commander?”
Having inexplicably summoned the Water Element Commander, Gong Lianyue felt six pairs of eyes fixed on her.
Like a student suspected of cheating on a test, she was about to discreetly summon the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower when a sudden unease washed over her.
She had planned to use the Water Element Commander and the Cloud Dream Flower together, attempting to defeat the massive water dragon despite the difference in rank.
After all, the Water Element was both simple-minded and incredibly durable, unfazed by high-rank spirit beasts, its core’s hardness defying logic. It should be able to hold its own against an ordinary high-rank spirit beast.
But after the girl’s words, the connection to both the little fox and the scorpion inexplicably weakened, and she couldn’t summon them.
The next second, the Water Element’s core began to flicker wildly, and Gong Lianyue realized something terrifying.
This wasn’t like the Frost Snow Woman’s attribute seal, which only affected certain types of spirit beasts. This was something all Spirit Masters experienced, indicating that she had reached her limit for summoned spirit beasts…
“What’s happening!?”
“Ugh!!!
The massive water giant in the arena suddenly bent over and vomited, a torrent of water gushing forth, forming a small pool on the stage.
Seeing the clear water, the Water Swallowing Cloud instinctively wanted to dive in, but a threatening glare from the Cold Court girl stopped it.
As everyone watched in stunned silence, the Water Element Commander continued to vomit, seemingly in great pain.
Plop!
A few seconds later, a purple figure emerged from the Water Element Commander’s mouth.
Floating on the surface of the small pool, a crystalline, humanoid figure, its body shimmering with purple light, slowly raised its head, icy shards radiating a chilling aura around it.
[Low-rank Spirit Beast – Ice Spirit]
Excited screams erupted from the audience.
So the Sorrowful Saintess was putting on a show for them, actually summoning both a Water Element Commander and an Ice Spirit, just like the rumors said! How amazing!
Normally, Spirit Masters below the Samsara Stage couldn’t summon two spirit beasts simultaneously, except for those with the Dual Soul Body.
But this scene was so bizarre and miraculous that everyone instinctively ignored this fact, attributing it to some Saint-rank ability.
Meanwhile, Gong Lianyue stared at her soul cores in confusion.
[Mid-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Water Element Commander]
[Bloodline Talent: None]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Crystal Chamber]
[Low-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Ice Spirit]
[Bloodline Talent: None]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Ice Binding Contract]
[High-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower]
[Bloodline Talent: Cultivation Amplification]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Deep Sea – Possessing the Divine – O]
[High-rank Dawn and Dusk Stage: Iron Jade Ice Scorpion]
[Bloodline Talent: Five-Leaf Clover]
[Spirit Beast Battle Techniques: Jade Shatter – OO]
The Ice Spirit, which had been fused with the Water Element, had been expelled!
Gong Lianyue finally understood. No wonder she had been able to choose ice-attribute battle techniques. Those were for the Ice Spirit, not the Water Element.
At this moment, during the Saintess selection, in the Sea Dou Hall of the Sea Concubine Palace, the Sorrowful Saintess Gong Lianyue’s long-hidden spirit beast was finally revealed!
