I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 153 Return to Sheath VS Return to Sheath

Although the girl had temporarily disappeared, and she had searched for her secretly for a day without finding any clues, based on her understanding of Xue Youyou, that gloomy-looking girl was definitely not a short-lived ghost.

She wasn't too worried about Xue Youyou's safety; she was probably just entangled in some trouble.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, Meng Tianxiang's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and she uttered a startling statement: "Hehe... Since we've come this far, it seems I have no choice but to swear an oath in the name of Marquis Qingming."

She paused slightly, then spoke each word with resounding emphasis: "My granddaughter Meng Yanqing's 'Sheath Returning Technique' has absolutely nothing to do with your Lin family!"

boom--

Lin Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, as if struck by lightning.

Meng Tianxiang's words directly shattered all of her previous doubts in the most irrefutable way.

In this world, the words sworn in the name of a Beastmaster represent absolute truth, allowing no room for falsehood.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Lin Yan's expression shifted dramatically between shock and disbelief. Unwilling to accept this, she almost angrily demanded, "Where did Meng Yanqing learn the Return to Sheath technique?!"

In a sense, if the truth isn't that the student stole the knowledge, then it's even worse.

This means that from now on, in addition to the Lin family, there will be another force in Yuelanzhou that can legitimately use and pass on the Guiqiao technique.

Lin Yan's face paled even more.

This time, it was Meng Tianxiang's turn to sneer. She raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with undisguised mockery: "Do I have an obligation to tell you, Lin Yan? This is confidential. Do you even know what confidential means?"

These few words left Lin Yan speechless, his face turning red, almost to the point of breaking down.

But Meng Tianxiang's words were so reasonable that even though she was furious, she couldn't find a single word to refute them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get out of control, Lei Ying, who had been watching from the sidelines, chuckled and interrupted the standoff between the two: "Hehe...you two, stop arguing, let's watch the game!"

Under Lei Ying's mediation, Lin Yan could only grit his teeth, temporarily suppress his doubts and resentment, and turn his attention back to the competition.

Although Bao Yunxing and the others were also filled with doubts, they knew that this was someone else's secret. It would be extremely impolite to pry into a beast tamer's secrets without a legitimate reason.

Moreover, compared to this, the outcome of this battle itself is also a very interesting matter.

Both are users of the Return to Sheath technique.

So, does the fact that the one who ultimately wins mean that her sheath-returning technique is more exquisite?

Three minutes ago.

Iron-Blooded Arena.

Lin Feiyan witnessed this scene from beginning to end, and only when the seven swords were formed and swirling around her body did she slowly exhale.

The shock on her face had faded, replaced by a complex and indescribable expression—a mixture of surprise, admiration, and even a hint of relief that she herself didn't realize, a relief that came after holding her breath for the other person.

"...You actually managed to use it."

Lin Feiyan said in a low voice, her tone carrying a tone that was hard to define as either praise or helplessness.

She raised the Crimson Flame Spear in her hand, pointing the tip at Meng Yanqing, and the energy vortex shaped like the Three Crossings River emitted a low roar at the blade.

"However, Xiaoqing."

A familiar smile, tinged with a hint of mockery and indulgence, returned to the corners of her mouth.

"The seven swords that your Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus transformed into are indeed quite intimidating."

"But can you withstand one of my shots?"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Feiyan moved.

There was no probing, no feint.

The first shot after the Crimson Flame Spear was sheathed was a full-force attack.

The spear shot out like a dragon, its crimson-gold light tearing through the air, carrying with it a karmic fire that could incinerate everything, heading straight for Meng Yanqing.

This was a simple, straightforward thrust.

There were no fancy arcs, no deceptive feints; it simply compressed speed, power, and killing intent into a straight line. The tip of the Crimson Flame Spear rubbed a dark red crack in the air, its edges writhing with lava-like flames, as if burning through space itself.

Meng Yanqing, the person involved, knew the power of that shot better than anyone else.

She could clearly sense that Lin Feiyan had become much stronger than before.

Meng Yanqing almost instinctively activated the sword formation. The two medium-length, three-foot-long green swords named "Twin Immortal Caves" responded and crossed into a cross, precisely blocking the path of the Crimson Flame Spear.

when--!!!

The moment the spear tips clashed with the twin swords, what erupted was not sparks, but a visible shockwave, a mix of blue and red. The ground of the Ironblood Arena cracked open in a dense, spiderweb-like pattern, radiating outwards as debris was propelled by the shockwave.

It's under control.

But at the same time, Meng Yanqing also felt pain.

Returning to Sheath is a unique skill that combines the Beastmaster and the Beast into one.

The damage the pet suffers is equivalent to the damage she also suffers.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Lin Feiyan and the Scarlet Hellfire Spear were much stronger than she had imagined.

"Well done."

Lin Feiyan's voice was very close, carrying a hint of appreciation, but more so, a sense of ease: "How about this?"

The Crimson Flame Spear shuddered suddenly, and an even more violent force surged from inside the shaft.

Purple Skill: Fiery Waves!

First layer of force, second layer of force, third layer of force.

The triple fiery energy was layered on the tip of the spear, each layer adding three more points of power to the previous one.

The Twin Immortals let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain. The fine holes in the sword were filled with violent flames, and the sound that was emanating was no longer the terrifying sound of a flute, but a sharp and piercing wail.

Cracks began to appear on the blade.

Meng Yanqing's pupils suddenly contracted.

Don't try to take it head-on!

"Four Symbols Shatter the Void!"

With a low shout, the four short swords that were originally flying around her body changed direction at the same time, turning into four streaks of blue light that were almost invisible to the naked eye, shooting towards Lin Feiyan's vital points from four extremely tricky angles—throat, heart, lower back, and back of the knee.

The Four Symbols Shattering the Void takes its name from "Shattering the Void," relying on the extreme cutting power and incredible speed brought by the blade's thin, cicada-wing-like blade and serrated edges.

This is Meng Yanqing's strategy—to attack where the enemy must defend, forcing Lin Feiyan to return to defense.

As expected, Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow and had to withdraw some of her strength. Her Crimson Flame Spear swept across, drawing a blazing arc in front of her.

Ding ding ding ding——!

The four crisp sounds rang out in unison, and all four flying swords were deflected.

But in that instant, Meng Yanqing had already retreated swiftly, creating distance. At the same time, she drew her sword incantation with her right hand, and the Twin Immortals, riddled with cracks, flew back to her side, reforming the sword formation with the Four Symbols Shattered Void.

This time, any discerning viewer could see that Meng Yanqing was at a disadvantage.

Lin Feiyan smiled.

Sure enough, compared to her decade-long mastery of the Return-to-Sheath technique, Meng Yanqing was merely a half-baked amateur.

The probing has ended!

Next move, I'll take her down!
