Chapter 349 — Don't Scrape Anymore, Master Ji

Across from him, Shi Jin let out a breath. Charging the Doudou Bear to full beforehand had indeed been the wise move; fought this way, it cost no effort at all.

At this point Shi Jin was fine, but Ji Feng's composure had collapsed. He put himself in Void Tan's shoes: a dashingly stylish space rift slashed into the Iron-eating Beast, and it did not even break its defense — no matter how it struck, the defense would not break; then, all at once, the other side erupted with energy rivaling an Overlord's, unleashing a true Overlord's terrifying blow that instakilled everything.

What the hell was the point of fighting!

No wonder Void Tan had cursed and grumbled back then.

Now Ji Feng too was slightly open-mouthed, wanting to curse and grumble, as he stared at the Iron-eating Beast legion across from him, utterly unable to understand why such a beast existed. What — what kind of combat style was this?

Of course, the most shocked were the bureau members who had been watching all along, and the local association presidents of Star Capital. They stared dumbfounded at the outcome of the battle. Granted, whoever won, they would not have been too surprised, since either outcome was possible — but never in any case had they imagined that Ji Feng, formerly fifth in the Sequence, would fail to even break Shi Jin's defense.

And his ace beast was not even a match for a single blow.

"This..." Director Zhong was stunned, and so was the recorder beside him. The last time Ji Feng had lost this badly seemed to have been when he challenged a legendary beast tamer...

"Is this kid a monster? To turn that legendary resource into strength so quickly." Feng Jin was beside him, utterly astonished.

This rate of growth was far too fast. Lu Heng had told him that Eleven, without the Demon God's power, was about the equal of the Wind Demon Lion — but now it seemed that was not how things stood at all.

Meanwhile, on the arena, Ji Feng's face darkened in an instant as he suddenly recalled the Demon God's power Shi Jin had spoken of back in the Void Emperor ruins... In the fight just now, Shi Jin and his beasts... had not used it, had they.

"Thank you for the match." Facing his dark-faced opponent, Shi Jin smiled faintly — and that smile silenced Director Zhong, President Ma and the rest on the spot!

The officials had never acknowledged Shi Jin's title as the strongest beneath Legendary in Donghuang, but now... how was it that the title felt so utterly deserved?

...

That day, the Sequence War Committee announced the result of this Sequence battle.

Across Donghuang, one member of the Sequence War after another stared silently at the latest news on the Sequence official site.

Sequence Seventh Ji Feng challenged Sequence Fifth Shi Jin; Ji Feng lost!

If before, some had still reserved judgment because there were no combat records between contestants to prove Shi Jin's right to fifth place, now many fell silent. The former fifth... had now fallen at the hands of two Ancient Capital University students, one after the other...

Lu Heng was one thing — about Ji Feng's age. But Shi Jin... was clearly only twenty, which was just absurd!

The internet was ablaze with discussion.

Gao Xuan, Zou Yun and the others scrolled the news in silence, and below lay the debating ground of a crowd of melon-eating beast tamers.

[Iron-eating Beast Warrior]: Invincible, invincible. The strongest beneath Legendary — no doubt about it now, right? Lu Heng and Shi Jin are both from Ancient Capital University, they must have fought; the rankings did not change, so Shi Jin is stronger!

[Bug-Catching Boy]: Boss Shi Jin is number one under heaven. Honestly, battling, archaeology, breeding — he is a master of all of it. Too awesome. Apart from giving birth, is there anything Boss Shi Jin cannot do!

Someone below replied [I Am Not a Bug]: Probably not. Even if there is not now, there will be in the future. With a pack of beasts this outstanding, I would believe it if Shi Jin invented a whole new mechanical school tomorrow!

Reading this, Gao Xuan frowned, feeling that netizens these days were somewhat ill.

The mechanical school was the foundation on which Donghuang and the Seven Nations were built. If a totem war really broke out, it would still be the mechanical army they relied on. Did these people really think the mechanical school was that easy?

He gave [I Am Not a Bug] a direct thumbs-down, then suppressed the urge to follow the cable and argue with him, and simply blocked him.
