CHAPTER 979 WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WIN

"You stupid bear, what the hell are you doing?" Queenie shouted angrily, feeling humiliated. She gritted

her teeth, as she internally urged her Furious Ice Bear to launch a more ferocious attack.

The Furious Ice Bear seemed to have sensed its master's anger. It immediately gave a blood-thirsty

roar, as its whole body was engulfed with dense ice power. It inhaled deeply and blew a strong gust of

icy wind towards its opponent, slowing it down.

The Furious Ice Bear took this opportunity to catch up and finally ended the chase. It stood face to face

with its opponent, snarling and growling. It was an excellent strategic move, and it was impressive that

Queenie did not even need to give it detailed instructions to do that. It was obvious that the Furious Ice

Bear had a great advantage in close combat, so it quickly gained the upper hand in just a few minutes.

The whole battleground was full of its ice power, which appeared like millions of needles that stuck into

every pore of that spirit-manipulated beast. It was shaking in the ice fog, which made the Furious Ice

Bear howl with joy.

However, when it seemed like the Furious Ice Bear was about to win, its opponent, which was a spirit-

manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the four-star level, suddenly found new strength. Energy

exploded all over its body, and its spiritual power instantly soared, blowing the Furious Ice Bear away.

The bear, like a huge ball, drew an arc in the air and was slammed into the ground, forcefully smashing

the ground, which then turned into a big pit.

The four-star spirit-manipulated beast suddenly burst out such a strong power that it shocked everyone

present. They didn't expect that the spirit-manipulated beast still had so much power left.

All of a sudden, something even more shocking to them happened. The aura of the spirit-manipulated

beast suddenly got stronger, and it broke through to the fourth grade of the five-star level. Now, it would

be even harder to deal with.

A thick silence descended in the arena, for none of them could say a word in their utter surprise. They

were witnessing something incredibly rare at that moment.

"It's a spirit-manipulated beast in the berserker stance... It seems that her fat bear has no chance of

winning," Rocky commented nonchalantly. He was relatively calm because he had already foreseen the

result of this battle.

"Geoffrey is a scheming bastard. He even sent such a rare spirit-manipulated beast in the berserker

stance to beat us. This kind of spirit-manipulated beast doesn't look very powerful in an ordinary battle

with other ordinary spirit-manipulated beasts, but when it meets a strong opponent, its hidden potential

will instantly burst out, and it will exert extraordinary power. I didn't expect that Geoffrey would have

such a spirit manipulator who had this kind of spirit-manipulated beast." Lucas shook his head and

sighed. He thought that he had known almost everything about Geoffrey, but now he knew that

Geoffrey had kept his own counsel. Both his and Rocky's face darkened because of their hopeless

situation.

"It is obvious that he has tricked us." Woods frowned and looked at Geoffrey sharply. He was unhappy

about this situation, but there was nothing he could do, and he hated that. He hated that he did not

have any control over this situation. This unfortunate situation that Geoffrey caused could totally disrupt

his plan.

"Just admit defeat. It's meaningless to continue fighting like this," Rocky suggested to Woods. If they

continued this battle, the Furious Ice Bear could suffer serious injuries.

"No, don't stop the fight! My bear will definitely win." Queenie was not yet ready to surrender. In her

mind, her bear was so strong that it might have the chance to win the battle. She didn't want to admit

that her bear was less powerful than its opponent.

"Queenie, be sensible. We don't want your Furious Ice Bear to suffer great injuries in a meaningless

battle! Just admit defeat and call it back." Lucilla scolded her sister when she saw her willful behavior. It

was not just a game for them, nor was it a matter of pride. Unnecessary injuries needed to be avoided,

and all decisions should be made with the whole clan in mind.

Lucas echoed this sentiment, but Queenie still refused to listen to them. In the end, they could do

nothing to convince Queenie to give up the fight. They could only wish that they were the Furious Ice

Bear's master and not Queenie, for if that were the case, they could ask it to return from the

battleground.

"Queenie..." Rocky started to put pressure on her after seeing her being so stubborn. He looked at her

with his cold eyes that held a warning and a threat at the same time.

When Queenie met Rocky's eyes, she suddenly felt a shudder all over her body, as if she could feel

that Rocky was angry. It was so strange. Unlike Lucas and Lucilla, Rocky did not say anything else to

convince her, but she felt the strong pressure that came from him. She wasn't afraid of him, but in the

end, he was the straw that broke the camel's back. She pouted and said, "All right, all right. I will just

admit defeat! Are you satisfied with that?"

Lucilla and Lucas were surprised to hear that she agreed to do so! They had been persuading her non-

stop but received little effect, so how come this little girl became so obedient after being criticized by

Rocky? However, they didn't want to look the gift horse in the mouth, and anyway, it was great that

Queenie was finally willing to listen to someone else.

After she had admitted defeat, Woods ordered his men to take the next spirit-manipulated beast to fight

for the next round. Since Geoffrey had already sent a spirit-manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the

five-star level, Woods had to give up his plan and send a Timber spirit-manipulated beast that was also

in the fourth grade of the five-star level to fight the beast head-on.

Just like the first competition, the second competition soon fell into a stalemate. At the eighth round, a

Timber spirit-manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the five-star level from Woods' side defeated a

powerful Timber spirit-manipulated beast that Geoffrey sent. Finally, it came to the ninth round. Only

one spirit-manipulated beast remained from Geoffrey's side, which was obviously a disadvantageous

situation for him. Meanwhile, the people from Woods' side were very excited because they all saw that

they had a chance to win. They could not wait to see that moment and couldn't help but imagine the

glorious scene.

However, when Geoffrey sent out the last spirit-manipulated beast, people there were all shocked at

what they saw.

His last spirit-manipulated beast was not only a spiritual beast, but also one that ranked tenth on the

spiritual beast list of the Wild Spirit Land—the Dark Ghost Shadow. And the master of the Dark Ghost

Shadow was Geoffrey!

Among all the spiritual beasts in the Wild Spirit Land, the spiritual beasts that were ranked in the top

ten were almost all peerless spirit-manipulated beasts, and all of them were said to be unique and

extremely rare. Most people would not have the chance to see such rare spirit-manipulated beasts

throughout their lives.

In the entire Timber Deity Empire, and even in the entire Wild Spirit Land, Geoffrey was perhaps the

only spirit manipulator who had the Dark Ghost Shadow.

However, almost no one in the Timber Deity Empire had seen Geoffrey summon the Dark Ghost

Shadow before. For most people, it was nothing but a dream, as it was a mysterious beast that they

had no hope of seeing. That was why when all the people in the beast arena laid eyes on the Dark owns this text.

Ghost Shadow, they were deeply shocked. They were slack-jawed with eyes wide open, wondering

whether it was only a delusion. When they were convinced that it was a real Dark Ghost Shadow, they

felt lucky that they went to the beast arena today. It was the most unforgettable moment in their life!

The Dark Ghost Shadow floated in the air like a ghost. It had no feet, and its body was covered by a

black robe. Its head resembled the skull of a wild beast, dry and empty. Two nether fires burned deep

in the eye sockets, which gave off a creepy feeling to anyone who would dare look straight into its

eyes.

However, the most frightening thing about it was that the Dark Ghost Shadow didn't emit any aura. No

one knew how powerful it was, but no one would doubt its strength because it was among the top ten

spiritual beasts. After all, no weak spiritual beast could make it to the top ten.

"He even sent his own spiritual beast to fight!" Woods' face also changed. Even he, a prince, had only

seen the Dark Ghost Shadow once, and he had never seen it in a fight, so he could not gauge how

strong it was. However, he heard that the Dark Ghost Shadow was very powerful. Some said that even

a Timber spirit-manipulated beast at the fourth grade of the five-star level was no match for it. Although

he still had a certain advantage, as soon as the Dark Ghost Shadow appeared, his advantage would

definitely disappear. If they lost the ninth round, the only one who had the strength to fight was Lucilla's

spiritual beast. However, although Woods did not want to admit it, Lucilla's spiritual beast was no match

for the Dark Ghost Shadow.

Woods frowned as he considered their situation thoroughly. An idea came to him, and he quickly turned

to look at Rocky, as he realized that he still had a chance to win.

Seeing that Woods was looking at him, Rocky immediately understood what he wanted to say. A

thoughtful look settled on his face because he knew that Woods hoped that Ken could fight in this

round. However, if he let Ken fight at this point, it would probably shock the whole Timber Deity Empire,

because Ken was one of the five strongest spiritual beasts at the King Level in the Wild Spirit Land,

with peerless talent and power. If he sent such a spiritual beast to fight, it would cause a sensation in

the entire Timber Deity Empire, and countless suspicions would be pointed at his true identity. That

would be big trouble for him.

"If we lose the second competition, it will be a very disadvantageous situation for us at the third

competition. Geoffrey has two spirit manipulators at the Divine Stage, but we only have Master Lucas,"

Woods said with a frown. He knew that Ken should be used only as a last resort, but he could not come

up with a better idea to solve this thorny problem.

Hearing the hopelessness in Woods' voice, Rocky's face turned more serious. He knew that even if he

sent Ken to fight, it might not be able to win against the Dark Ghost Shadow, because it only had a

strength between the third and fourth grades of the four-star level. Besides, it was not an aggressive

spirit-manipulated beast, so it could lose easily. Indeed, winning the last round would be a great

challenge for their team.
