Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Shui Chunle's expression was grave. The pet beasts he had left were weaker than the last, and their chances of winning against the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent were extremely low.

"No, I absolutely can't let it defeat all six of my beasts. I have to make a quick decision."

"The battle begins!" The referee announced.

Anxious, Shui Chunle quickly said, "Mermaid Princess, Sea Binding!"

The Mermaid Princess slightly opened her cherry-like, alluring small mouth. The next second, a ball of flame inexplicably rose in her throat, burning her throat and preventing her from singing.

The Mermaid Princess spat out a large amount of water, instantly extinguishing the flame in her throat.

The flame was extinguished, but the Song of Despair was also interrupted.

Who released the fire? The opponent, the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent?

The Mermaid Princess looked up, and the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent was still fixed in place.

Wasn't the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent controlled by her?

Seeing Li Cunxu's bewitching blood-red Blood Lotus eyes, Shui Chunle reminded, "That flame was released by the opposing Beast Master. That's his innate pupil technique, the Lotus Burning Blood Flame."

Before the battle began, Shui Chunle had collected a large amount of information about Li Cunxu from the information broker, and knew about Li Cunxu's Blood Lotus eyes.

The Mermaid Princess also saw Li Cunxu's blood-red eyes, and her face was filled with anger.

How dare you burn my throat! You're asking for a beating!

The Mermaid Princess raised her slender jade hand and pointed it at Li Cunxu, shooting out a stream of water that could pierce through steel.

Li Cunxu's eyes flashed with red light, and a ball of Lotus Burning Blood Flame blocked the stream of water.

Sizzle ~

The Lotus Burning Blood Flame and the stream of water canceled each other out, and a cloud of white steam rose from the point where they collided.

Shui Chunle said, "Mermaid Princess, activate the Mermaid Protection Shield and continue to cast the Song of Despair."

The Mermaid Princess shook her head slightly, her back to Shui Chunle.

Shui Chunle, with his mind linked to the Mermaid Princess, instantly understood the information the Mermaid Princess conveyed. She couldn't cast the Song of Despair.

Why couldn't she cast it? Shui Chunle thought of the flame in the Mermaid Princess's throat just now. Could it be that the flame injured her throat, preventing her from singing?

Without the Song of Despair, how could he kill this incredibly tanky Blood Lotus Flame Serpent?

Could he have the next Mermaid Princess sing the Song of Despair?

In that case, it would indeed effectively prevent the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent from defeating all six, but it would also allow the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent to easily complete a one-versus-five victory.

Suddenly, Shui Chunle caught a glimpse of Li Cunxu's bloodshot eyes, glowing brightly.

Shui Chunle slapped his forehead and thought, "What's wrong with me? I've been playing too many matches and forgot that I can attack the Beast Master! As long as I defeat Li Cunxu, I'll win directly."

"The Blood Lotus Flame Serpent is immobilized, and without a pet beast to protect him, wouldn't Li Cunxu be at my mercy?"

Shui Chunle shouted, "Mermaid Princess, use the Lingbo Micro-step to get behind the Beast Master and give him a gentle backstab!"

The water rippled, and in the next moment, the Mermaid Princess disappeared from her original location and appeared behind Li Cunxu, holding a sharp Water Dagger and stabbing it towards Li Cunxu's heart.

The expected scene of the Water Dagger piercing into the body, the Undying White Light protecting Li Cunxu shattering, and him losing the match did not happen.

Li Cunxu's right hand was wrapped in a ball of water. With a backhand Water Ball Fist, he knocked the Mermaid Princess behind him away. At the same time, the Undying White Light protecting the Mermaid Princess shattered.

Li Cunxu wasn't eliminated, but the attacking Mermaid Princess was eliminated?

Shui Chunle was dumbfounded.

The Mermaid Princess flew out and crashed into the surrounding wall outside the battlefield. The medical team rushed forward, releasing green light waves with healing skills to stabilize the Mermaid Princess's injuries, and then pried the Mermaid Princess out of the wall.

Li Cunxu chuckled and said, "A Water Ball Fist evolved from a weakened Water Ball skill, can you withstand it?"

The referee's urging pulled Shui Chunle, who was distracted, back into the battle once again.

"Contestant Shui Chunle, please summon your pet beast as soon as possible, don't delay."

Shui Chunle summoned his fifth pet beast.

It was another Mermaid Princess.

Many viewers noticed that Shui Chunle's Mermaid Princesses weren't all cut from the same mold, but each had her own unique style and temperament.

Some were aloof, some were charming, some were well-behaved…

"His next pet beast won't also be a Mermaid Princess, will it!"

"Most likely."

"This is simply a beast! Contracted five Mermaid Princesses."

"How do you know he only contracted five Mermaid Princesses? You have to know that the six on stage are just the rules of the competition. How many pet beasts a Beast Master can contract depends on the number of contract slots he has. If he has twenty contract slots, he might be able to contract nineteen Mermaid Princesses."

Shui Chunle wasn't in the mood to listen to the noisy discussions of the audience. His current energy was focused on preventing the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent from defeating all six of his beasts.

Although the Mermaid Princess on stage was defeated by Li Cunxu, the Beast Master was one with his pet beast, so the kill would be counted on the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent's record.

Suddenly, Shui Chunle sighed and said in a voice only he could hear, "How did this happen? I clearly intended to defeat all six of Li Cunxu's beasts at the beginning, but as I fought, it turned into me trying my best to prevent Li Cunxu from defeating all six of mine."

The battle began.

Shui Chunle said to the Mermaid Princess in a rapid tone, "Mermaid Princess, use Sea Binding to immobilize it, then use the Mermaid Protection Shield to prevent the skill from being interrupted by burning the throat, and finally use the Song of Despair."

The Mermaid Princess threw out the same Sea King Fork as in the previous match, immobilizing the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent, then erected the Mermaid Protection Shield, and then sang out loud.

The Song of Despair was finally sung.

The sound echoed in the arena. The song was sad and desperate. Every note seemed to be telling an unspeakable story, and every lyric seemed to be questioning the injustice of fate.

Some viewers who heard the song even had hallucinations. In a trance, they saw the ancient, beautiful, rich, and harmonious Mermaid Empire, where the mermaids lived a prosperous and happy life. Suddenly, one day, the invasion of demons shattered this beauty. The demons burned, killed, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil. The huge Mermaid Empire collapsed.

After the disaster, a young and beautiful Mermaid Princess crawled out of the ruins, looking at the devastated territory, looking at her parents who only had their heads left, and tears uncontrollably flowed from her eyes, singing a song of despair.

After the hallucinations, some fragile viewers couldn't help but cry loudly.

…

The Blood Lotus Flame Serpent was ultimately forced to listen to the Mermaid Princess's Song of Despair.

After singing the Song of Despair, the Undying White Light on the Mermaid Princess's body also shattered.

Shui Chunle thought, "As long as the next Mermaid Princess can stall until the fourth minute when the Song of Despair takes effect, I can end the Blood Lotus Flame Serpent's one-versus-six victory."
