Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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

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

In 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…”

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

“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…”

“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.

At this moment, the nobles were gossiping amongst themselves.

“Is this the kid who killed Andrew?”

“Isn’t he too young?”

“Did someone make a mistake?”

“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…”

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

“Has the principal gone senile?”

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

“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…”

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

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

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

“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!”

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

His 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!

“Sky Wolf!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

Despite 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Noticing 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! !”

The 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.

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

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

The lethal wheels of ice spun rapidly!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He was not at a disadvantage at all!

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

However, 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!

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

Locke was finally excited!

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

“Lil’ White!”

The 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!

Alva, 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!

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

Locke then launched Hurricane Piercer at them!

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

Locke had chosen this moment to launch his final blow!

“Lil’ White!”

“Hiss…”

The 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!

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

The two tyrannical robots were also split into two!

Their upper body and lower body were completely severed!

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

Moreover, the battle had become unfairly one-sided!

“Good job, kid!” Tristan cheered!

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

However, 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!

Remember, this was a battle to death!

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

“Beast Fusion!”
