CHAPTER 974 A SCENE THAT HAD NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE
Geoffrey thought that the victory had been set, so he leaned back with a slight smirk on his face,
glancing at Woods sharply. He had long predicted that Woods would not be his opponent, and this
time, he was very confident in the beast competition.
However, just when he and all the audience in the beast arena thought that Robin was about to lose,
something unexpected happened. It suddenly let out a deafening wolf roar, and in the next moment, a
cloud of white mist covered its whole body, accompanied by small flecks of ice that spread all around.
Its fur transformed into sharp spikes, and its breath came out as white, icy wind.
Everyone watched the transformation with slack jaws. They didn't know where this power came from.
At the same time, the air around Robin turned frigid, and the branches and tendrils that wrapped
around its limbs were instantly frozen in the blink of an eye, and they shattered into a thousand
harmless pieces.
"That is a strong spiritual power of Ice nature... Is it a spiritual beast?" someone suddenly shouted.
Then, the crowd burst into an even bigger uproar.
Even the people who sided with Woods were looking at Rocky in surprise, as none of them expected
that Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast was a spiritual beast.
"No, Mr. Rookie's spirit-manipulated beast is not a spiritual beast. However, seeing as it can use the
spiritual power of Ice nature, it should be the descendant of a spiritual beast and a war beast, which
makes it a half-spirit beast..." Lucas immediately shook his head when he heard the people's remarks
since he knew that they were wrong. He was an expert in beast evaluation, so he could tell at a glance
that Robin was not a spiritual beast although it also surprised him that Rocky owned a half-spirit beast
of the spiritual beast bloodline, as opposed to an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast.
"Mr. Rookie, is that true?" Lucilla asked Rocky with curiosity. It was the first time that she had seen
Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast, and it was so special that it naturally piqued her interest. She was
especially curious about things that were related to Rocky, for they were all shrouded by an
indescribable mystery.
"Master Lucas is correct." Rocky nodded and agreed, but he did not volunteer any more information.
"It seems that it is not only you that like to hide your real strength but also your spirit-manipulated holds © this.
beast, Mr. Rookie," Lucilla remarked.
The people around them also nodded in agreement.
Because of the sudden burst of power from Robin, everyone was looking forward to what would
happen next. When Robin's real strength burst out from within, its limbs started trembling, as the strong
force broke off all the frozen branches and tendrils. In the next moment, it slammed into the Demonic
Spirit Flower, and the icy spikes all over its body stabbed into it like countless blades. The flower
monster fell heavily unto the rivers of blood that poured out from its wounds.
However, the Demonic Spirit Flower had the special ability to heal itself quickly. As soon as it got up
from the ground, the wounds on its body completely disappeared, and it recovered as if nothing had
happened.
As a powerful Timber spirit-manipulated beast, the Demonic Spirit Flower could not and should not be
recklessly trifled with. Robin's attack did not seem to damage the monster, but it seemed to have
infuriated it even more. Branches and tendrils grew from all over its body and rushed toward Robin like
countless tentacles wriggling in the air.
It seemed that Robin didn't intend to give the Demonic Spirit Flower any chance. It immediately waved
its forelimbs, and a series of ice claws shot out one after another. They started an extremely fierce
battle with the Demonic Spirit Flower.
However, because of its very strong recovery ability, the high-intensity battle put Robin at a slight
disadvantage. And although the spikes on Robin's body were as strong as steel, the acid liquid that the
Demonic Spirit Flower spouted was very corrosive. So, despite its armor-like spikes, Robin was soon
covered with wounds all over its body.
In contrast, the Demonic Spirit Flower looked completely unharmed.
It seemed that although Robin fought exceedingly well, even for a three-star beast in the third grade, it
was still not a match for the Demonic Spirit Flower.
The ongoing fierce battle drained Robin's physical strength and spiritual power, and soon, its steam
started to wane, and its speed gradually decreased. This gave the Demonic Spirit Flower a chance to
take advantage again. It shook for a moment before it suddenly threw Robin to the ground, just as the
latter was distracted for a moment. At the same time, it wrapped Robin in hundreds of branches and
tendrils that made Robin look like a mummy. After that, the Demonic Spirit Flower's carnivorous mouth
instantly opened, showing multiple rows of sharp teeth. It looked ready to tear flesh from bones.
In the next moment, its mouth that resembled a carnivorous flower snapped at Robin. If it made
contact, Robin would have been torn to pieces in seconds by those numerous sharp teeth.
Seeing this, everyone thought that Robin could not escape this time, as it was obvious that there was
still a gap in strength between them.
The people at Woods' side also shook their heads and sighed, believing their side had already been
defeated.
"Do you want to admit defeat now, before your spirit-manipulated beast is killed?" Woods asked Rocky.
If he surrendered now, he could at least guarantee the life of his beast, which was better than nothing.
The alternative consequences were unimaginable.
"This Demonic Spirit Flower is indeed much powerful than the Ghost Lion last time. Moreover, it is a
Timber spirit-manipulated beast that can heal its wounds in seconds." Rocky had to admit that Robin's
opponent this time was indeed much stronger, and its special recovery ability was an even bigger
challenge. But the smile on his face stayed confident, as he answered Woods, "No, thanks! I don't think
it's necessary for now. Let's wait and see Robin's performance first."
Woods was surprised to hear that, but since Rocky had said so, he had no reason to object.
At this moment, the Demonic Spirit Flower had completely gained the upper hand, and it began to
devour Robin with its sharp, wicked-looking teeth, tearing and grinding the spikes on Robin's body and
the flesh and muscles underneath its skin like it was the most delicious food it had ever tasted. Robin's
blood flowed like a crimson river, dyeing the ground red in its wake.
Robin immediately let out a pained howl. All the people thought it had died, but in the next moment, its
eyes filled with rage and strong fighting spirit, as its whole body suddenly tensed up.
"It should be happening any moment now," Rocky suddenly murmured, as his eyes narrowed intently at
Robin.
In the next moment, Robin, who was still wrapped up like a mummy, suddenly burst out icy light all over
its body, resembling a night-luminous pearl that flashed in the darkness. It caught everyone's attention
at once. Soon after, a layer of frost appeared on the ground where Robin was standing. It started in the
middle and gradually spread around to all directions, while at the same time, the temperature inside the
beast arena suddenly dropped. Soon, the spectators began trembling from the cold.
Just as everyone was looking around in surprise and confusion, sharp icicles burst out from the ground
and instantly surrounded Robin and the Demonic Spirit Flower. The whole scene looked like an ice
funeral.
The Demonic Spirit Flower jumped out of the numerous icicles like a wary beast, and it backed away as
if it had sensed that something was seriously wrong.
At this time, frost and snow suddenly fell from the sky. Among the countless icicles, Robin lay in a pool
of blood, while its body continuously emitted a strong vibrant light. However, the aura on its body had
dissipated as if it was already dead.
This development stunned everyone in the beast arena, for none of them had ever seen such a strange
scene before.
