REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 24 - : Rising Tension Among the Geniuses

Li Jun's overwhelming victory had sent shockwaves through the tournament.

The once-arrogant competitors now watched him with wary eyes, realizing he wasn't just another participant—he was a true threat.

As he walked off the stage, a mocking voice called out.

"Hmph. That was barely a warm-up."

Li Jun turned to see a tall young man with piercing golden eyes and a confident smirk.

[Liu Yan – Ranked 5th Among the Young Geniuses]

✔ Platinum 3-Star Beast Master

✔ Contracted Beast: Crimson Thunder Serpent

Liu Yan stepped forward, arms crossed. "You might have surprised a few weaklings, but against the real contenders, you won't stand a chance."

Li Jun simply met his gaze, unfazed. "We'll see."

Liu Yan scoffed and turned away, but Li Jun could already sense the rising hostility from the top-ranked fighters.

One victory had put him on their radar.

But that was exactly what he wanted.

The Second Round Begins

The second round matchups were quickly announced, and Li Jun found his next opponent.

[Opponent: Han Shi]

✔ Platinum 1-Star Beast Master

✔ Contracted Beast: Steel-Horned Rhino

The Steel-Horned Rhino was known for its unbreakable defense and devastating charging attacks.

Han Shi grinned. "I saw your last match. Speed is your strength, but can you break my rhino's defense?"

Li Jun remained calm. Every beast had a weakness.

The referee stepped forward.

"Match Start!"

A Clash of Speed and Power

Han Shi wasted no time. "Steel-Horned Rhino, Titan Charge!"

The ground trembled as the massive rhino charged forward, its steel-like horns glowing with energy.

He wants to overpower me in a single strike.

"Dodge! Void Step!"

The Lunar Sovereign Wolf disappeared in an instant, reappearing at the rhino's side.

But Han Shi was prepared.

"Steel Horn Spin!"

The rhino suddenly twisted its body, swinging its massive horn like a spinning blade.

BOOM!

Li Jun's wolf barely avoided the attack, skidding back across the arena.

Han Shi smirked. "See? You can't land a clean hit on me."

Li Jun's eyes gleamed. "Who said I needed to?"

His All-Knowing Eye activated, analyzing the rhino's movement patterns.

A weakness appeared.

Its turning speed is too slow after a charge.

Li Jun's gaze sharpened.

"Lunar Sovereign Wolf, bait him."

The wolf dashed forward, taunting the rhino.

Han Shi fell for it. "Charge again!"

The Steel-Horned Rhino roared and rushed forward at full speed.

At the last second—

Void Step!

Li Jun's wolf vanished and reappeared right behind the rhino, where its defense was weakest.

"Now—Celestial Fang Strike!"

The wolf's fangs glowed silver, striking the rhino's hind legs with precision.

CRACK!

The rhino stumbled, unable to support its own weight.

Han Shi's face twisted in shock. "No way!"

Li Jun's voice was calm. "End it."

The wolf leaped high into the air—

Lunar Howl Suppression!

A powerful howl rang through the arena, shaking the rhino's already unstable stance.

The moment it lost balance—

Celestial Fang Strike: Final Form!

The wolf's fangs pierced the rhino's neck, sending it crashing to the ground.

Dust settled.

The Steel-Horned Rhino was defeated.

The referee stepped forward.

"Winner—Li Jun!"

The audience erupted in cheers, but Li Jun wasn't focused on them.

He could feel it—

The true geniuses were finally taking him seriously.
