REBORN OF THE LEGENDARY BEAST MASTER-Chapter 27 - : The Quarterfinals Begin – Li Jun vs. Yang Mei

Li Jun stepped onto the battlefield, his expression calm.

Across from him, Yang Mei, the 7th-ranked genius, smirked with confidence.

Her Wind Mirage Hawk perched on her shoulder, its sharp emerald eyes gleaming with intelligence.

[Yang Mei – Platinum 2-Star Beast Master]

✔ Beast: Wind Mirage Hawk (Platinum 2-Star)

✔ Abilities:

Gale Step – Enhances movement speed, leaving afterimages.

Wind Mirage – Creates illusions to confuse opponents.

Hurricane Talon – A high-speed claw attack that can shred defenses.

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

"This is a battle between speed specialists!"

"But Yang Mei has the advantage—her Wind Mirage Hawk is already at Platinum 2-Star!"

Li Jun simply closed his eyes for a moment.

His All-Knowing Eye activated, analyzing the opponent's movements.

He saw it immediately—a pattern in her illusions.

If I time it correctly...

The referee raised his hand.

"Begin!"

Illusions vs. Instincts

Yang Mei acted instantly.

"Wind Mirage!"

Her Wind Mirage Hawk multiplied into five identical copies, circling the arena at blinding speed.

The crowd gasped.

"There's no way to tell which one is real!"

Li Jun remained unfazed.

He didn't need to see—his Lunar Sovereign Wolf trusted its instincts.

"Void Step!"

In an instant, his wolf disappeared.

Yang Mei's eyes widened in shock.

"What? Where did it—?!"

SLASH!

The Lunar Sovereign Wolf reappeared, slashing its claws through the air—directly at the real Wind Mirage Hawk!

BOOM!

The impact sent the Wind Mirage Hawk crashing to the ground.

Yang Mei gritted her teeth. "How?! No one has ever broken my illusions that fast!"

Li Jun's voice was calm. "Your illusions follow a slight clockwise pattern before shifting—easy to predict."

Yang Mei clenched her fists.

"Tch! I won't lose that easily!"

The Real Battle Begins

Her hawk quickly recovered, shooting back into the air.

"Hurricane Talon!"

A violent gust of wind followed as the hawk dove at Li Jun's wolf, its talons glowing with deadly energy.

"Dodge!"

The Lunar Sovereign Wolf barely avoided the first strike, but Yang Mei had already anticipated it.

"Again! Hurricane Talon – Triple Strike!"

Her hawk unleashed a flurry of high-speed attacks, pushing Li Jun's wolf back.

The crowd cheered loudly as Yang Mei gained the upper hand.

"She's forcing him into a corner!"

But Li Jun remained completely calm.

He had already seen a flaw in her attack pattern.

She's too focused on offense. If I can bait her into one final strike...

He gave the command.

"Lunar Howl Suppression!"

A deep, echoing howl spread through the arena.

Yang Mei's hawk flinched for a brief moment—just enough for Li Jun to make his move.

"Celestial Fang Strike!"

The Lunar Sovereign Wolf disappeared—then reappeared directly above the hawk!

SLASH!

A devastating silver glow tore through the hawk's wing, sending it spiraling downwards.

Yang Mei gasped.

"No—!"

BOOM!

Her Wind Mirage Hawk crashed onto the battlefield, unable to stand.

The referee raised his hand.

"Winner—Li Jun!"

A Message to the Strongest

As the crowd exploded in cheers, Li Jun glanced toward the top three geniuses watching from the VIP seats.

Feng Zhi smirked. "Not bad. But can you handle real fire?"

Leng Xue, the second-ranked genius, remained silent, his Frost Serpent's icy gaze locked onto Li Jun.

And at the top, Wang Jian, the strongest of them all, simply chuckled.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

The real battles were only beginning.
