Chapter 844 Dark Elementalist
The Beast Fighting Tournament had begun. The intense and exciting battle made everyone's blood boil, and they were incomparably excited.
Every time the fight escalated, there would be a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
In the VIP seats, Isabel looked at the challengers one after another and felt that they were boring.
"Hurry up and just end already. The finale is at the end; if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come so early."
She didn't usually come out of the palace. If it weren't for the fact that today's Beast Fighting Tournament was exceptionally intense, she wouldn't have come to watch.
On Lu Yu's side, he saw the challenges of several participants. The battles were intense but also painful to watch.
Some participants had lost their arms when they left the stage, while others were killed on the spot and swallowed by the beasts.
However, these tragic scenes did not make the audience afraid. Instead, they just got more excited and shouted louder. Everyone was in a craze.
A slender man in a long black robe walked up at that moment. His long hair hung down, and his expression was indifferent as he looked around.
"This person is my son, Hill!"
Stone spoke proudly.
Lu Yu looked over and commented, "He doesn't look like a warrior."
"Of course not. He is an elementalist who excels in the dark element."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up. "That's a rare one. Elementalists are already a rare occupation, much less one well-versed in the dark element."
"That's right; he's my proudest son. I hope he can achieve a good result in this tournament."
Stone exclaimed excitedly.
He had already spent a lot of resources on Hill, and now it was time to see the returns.
The iron gate opened at that moment, and a ferocious beast crawled out of its prison.
A huge gray wolf trod out. The gray wolf's body was about the size of a tiger, and its pair of sharp teeth looked terrifying.
In the face of such a beast, Hill naturally did not panic and just faced the gray wolf calmly.
Wuuu~~
The gray wolf released two low and aggressive howls and was ready to pounce on Hill at any moment.
The next moment, the gray wolf leaped and dashed toward Hill.
Its pair of sharp fangs were aimed at Hill's head.
When wolves hunt their targets, they first bite at the prey's neck. This gray wolf was larger than usual and could bite Hill's head off if left unattended.
Hill raised his hands. A strange and unpredictable mass of dark matter slowly gathered in his palms.
After some distortion, it turned into a sharp spear.
Swoosh!
The pitch-black spear turned into an afterimage as it stabbed toward the gray wolf.
Swoosh!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the spear pierced through the gray wolf's body.
The gray wolf, who was charging wildly, staggered and fell to the ground in an instant; it smashed heavily into the ground.
Immediately after, the gray wolf's body grew some black tentacle patterns, which began to spread like a fungus.
Not long after, the entire gray wolf's corpse turned pitch-black.
The pitch-black corpse began to twist and transform into a mass of dark matter that floated into Hill's hands.
After he finished absorbing the dark matter, he revealed a smug smile.
Hill easily defeated the first round of F-level beasts.
Lu Yu took a closer look and saw his personal information. Hill's current strength was at Diamond Rank 1.
He had just advanced to the diamond stage.
It seemed that this person's talent was quite unique. The speed at which his strength increased was quicker than the average person's.
"Hah! A mere F-level beast was killed with a single move. It's too easy! " Stone exclaimed excitedly.
He was confident that Hill would take first place and become the center of attention in the empire.
The crowd cheered. They witnessed the fights of a few participants in succession, but none of them could compare to Hill.
Hill's attack was swift and decisive, killing his enemy almost instantly. Such an overwhelming suppression of strength excited the crowd further.
Many people even started betting on which level Hill could reach.
Right after, an E-level beast came out. It was a white lion, and it roared at Hill once it came out.
The white lion then rushed toward him.
A few balls of dark liquid appeared out of thin air around Hill. With a wave of his hand, the liquid surged toward the lion.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The dark liquid gathered on the lion's body, and began to squirm rapidly.
It was apparent now that the dark matter could absorb the life force of these beasts.
Hill used his dark matter to create a weapon as he charged at the lion.
"He has mastered the dark element to perfection. I'm sure he can reach a high level in this tournament." Lu Yu sighed in admiration.
"That's for sure. He's not weak, to begin with, and his talent is strong. He'll definitely be able to get a good ranking."
"What level do you think he can reach?" Lu Yu asked Han Xuefei.
"S? Maybe it's a little too high, but I'm sure he can get an A."
Lu Yu nodded slightly. "Even if he gets an A, it's enough for him to be ranked first in this tournament."
The two of them looked at the arena, noticing that the dark matter wholly swallowed the white lion. It melted into a ball of black liquid and returned to Hill's body.
Then, the D-level beast rushed out immediately.
Hill was able to deal with the newly spawned beasts in front of him with ease.
He used the same method. First, creating dark matter to absorb the life force of the beasts and creating a handy weapon to finish it off.
In a short while, the D-level beast also fell to the ground with a loud thud, once again getting absorbed by his dark matter.
The audience went into a fervor. Many of them had bet on Hill's performance and were looking forward to his results.
Sitting in the VIP seat, Isabel watched calmly as she ate the specially provided fruits.
"Finally, there's someone worthy of my attention. Let's see how he performs."
The C-level beast was quickly released. Hill began to struggle, and he could no longer be as calm and relaxed as he was.
Stone was getting worried after watching a couple of exchanges between man and beast.
"I hope he doesn't get seriously injured. Otherwise, I can't bear to watch it!"
He had invested an uncountable amount of resources into Hill to make him such a powerful cultivator!
If anything happened to him, he would feel the pain.
"From what I can see, he'll be fine even against a C or B-level beast, but it would be a tough fight once he reaches the A-level beast. He'll be easily injured if he isn't careful."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Stone turned to look at him. "Are you so sure?"
"Of course, I've seen his level from the few exchanges. If he insists on fighting an A-level ferocious beast, it will not be surprising for an accident to happen."
