I Tame Beasts by Feeding

On the arena stage, despite the spectacular show put on by the Colorful Wing Butterflies, Yu Changsheng’s expression remained calm.

"What a shame..."

"You’re completely unaffected?"

Hearing Yu Changsheng’s flat tone, Sun Shihan was a little surprised.

Normally, after the Colorful Wing Butterflies used "Illusory Butterfly Dance, Meng Fusheng" at full power, any person or beast would fall into a brief mental trance, seeing the shadows of their inner nightmares.

Especially since she had seen with her own eyes that Yu Changsheng had inhaled her Illusion Butterfly Poison, it should have been completely unavoidable.

The so-called Illusion Butterfly Poison was, in fact, the invisible and colorless dust that the Colorful Wing Butterflies had been secretly releasing from the very start of the match.

The effect of this stuff was simple: it worked in tandem with the Colorful Wing Butterfly’s Talent Magic, making it easier for an opponent to fall into the Illusion Realm and amplifying the effects of "Meng Fusheng."

Furthermore, prolonged inhalation would cause one to enter a state of mental weakness over time, losing all fighting spirit and eventually falling unconscious.

This wasn’t one of the Colorful Wing Butterfly’s Talent Divine Techniques, but rather something she had secretly cultivated herself, pouring a great deal of effort into it. Now that Yu Changsheng had exposed it in a single sentence, how could she not be shocked?

"So what if you know? Junior Yu, it’s already over for you."

Though surprised, Sun Shihan didn’t lose her composure. She gave Yu Changsheng a slightly mischievous quirk of her eyebrow, glanced at the battlefield, and her beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Marvelous Art: Endless Regret!"

As soon as her voice fell, the original sixteen Colorful Wing Butterflies beat their wings in perfect unison. With a flash, another sixteen appeared.

Thirty-two Colorful Wing Butterflies appeared all at once. Each one, whether in terms of its aura or any other aspect, was indistinguishable from the real thing. At the same time, their bodies swelled dramatically, growing ten times larger in an instant. They cast enormous shadows that covered the arena, blotting out the sky.

WHOOSH...

Just by flapping their wings, the Colorful Wing Butterflies stirred up howling gales. For a moment, sand and stones flew across the arena, caught in the relentless wind.

Thirty-two Wind Dragon Tornadoes slowly began to form again. Densely packed, they materialized from thirty-two different positions above the arena, sealing off all space and leaving no room to escape.

Yu Changsheng frowned, but he wasn’t flustered.

’Impressive, but they’re just illusions in the end.’

With a flicker of his Divine Thought, Yu Changsheng’s voice transmitted into the minds of the Red Refining Snake and the Golden-Winged Eagle.

"Red Refining Snake, attack the Colorful Wing Butterfly on your far left with all your strength. That one is the real body, at the Tier One Eighth Layer. The others are just phantoms, all show and no substance. With your physical body, tanking a few hits won’t be a problem."

"Golden-Winged Eagle, find an opportunity to take out the Colorful Wing Butterfly on your far right. That’s the other real one. Coordinate with the Red Refining Snake."

Now knowing their exact positions, a glimmer of understanding appeared in the Red Refining Snake’s eyes. Its entire body became enveloped in a blue sheen, like a curtain of water.

Its tail coiled and then suddenly whipped straight. The immense force propelled its entire body forward, and it recklessly charged toward the thirty-two forming Wind Dragon Tornadoes.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The blue light surrounding the Red Refining Snake flared brightly as the fierce winds tore at its body, and its Water Illusion Spirit Armor, resembling a liquid curtain, began to show signs of collapsing.

PTHOO!

Three consecutive blasts of Poisonous Fire shot out, aimed unsurprisingly at the Colorful Wing Butterfly on the far left.

’How did he figure out where the real ones are?’

The thought flashed through Sun Shihan’s mind. With a wave of her hand, three illusory Colorful Wing Butterflies flew into the path of the Poisonous Fire, forming a layered defense for the real one. Simultaneously, three Wind Dragon Tornadoes collided with the approaching flames.

BOOM!

The Poisonous Fire was extinguished, and the Wind Dragon Tornadoes vanished.

But the Red Refining Snake never expected the attack to accomplish much; it was merely a feint to draw her attention.

At almost the same moment it spat the Poisonous Fire, the snake’s tail lashed out through the air, seemingly striking at the other Colorful Wing Butterflies.

Seeing this, Sun Shihan paid it no mind. Those Colorful Wing Butterflies were just energy phantoms; destroying them would be pointless.

What she failed to notice, however, was that the Golden-Winged Eagle had flown up beside the Red Refining Snake. In the next instant, its wings underwent Hardening to absorb the full force of the snake’s tail lash. Using the momentum, it shot like a cannonball toward the Colorful Wing Butterfly on the far right!

’You fell for it!’

How could Yu Changsheng not have anticipated Sun Shihan’s thoughts?

The tail lash was a feint, and the attack on the real butterfly to the left was just a distraction. The true goal was for the Golden-Winged Eagle to use the momentum to launch a surprise attack and catch the real Colorful Wing Butterfly on the right completely off guard!

SWOOSH!

The Golden-Winged Eagle was already fast, but propelled by that immense force, it became an arrow streaking through the sky. Its talons flashed with a cold, blinding light as it instantly broke through all obstructions, lunging for the Tier One Ninth Layer Colorful Wing Butterfly.

The Colorful Wing Butterfly’s Divine Techniques were bizarre and it was too agile to catch easily, but its physical body was its fatal weakness.

After taking the full force of the Golden-Winged Eagle’s claws, as expected, the light on the Colorful Wing Butterfly’s wings stopped flashing. Its body returned to its normal size as it plummeted straight toward the ground.

In the air above the arena, half of the thirty-two Colorful Wing Butterflies instantly dissipated!

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Sun Shihan had no time to react, much less formulate a countermeasure.

"My Colorful Wing Butterfly? How is this possible?"

This sudden turn of events stunned Sun Shihan for a moment. When she came to her senses, she had no choice but to hurriedly recall it into her Inner Realm.

With the Tier One Ninth Layer Colorful Wing Butterfly gone, the pressure on the arena instantly diminished, and cracks appeared in the once airtight blockade.

Seizing the moment while Sun Shihan was stunned, the Golden-Winged Eagle and the Red Refining Snake turned without the slightest hesitation and attacked the other real Colorful Wing Butterfly.

"Black Wind Slash!"

With a whistle, three more Wind Blades blasted forth. The Red Refining Snake on the ground coordinated, spitting out one jet of Flame after another.

In an instant, the remaining Colorful Wing Butterfly became the focus of their combined assault.

"I surrender! Don’t hurt it!"

Just as the attacks were about to land, Sun Shihan snapped back to her senses. She bit her lip, waved her hand, and recalled the other Colorful Wing Butterfly, saving it just in time.

With that, the match once again went to Yu Changsheng.

"Thank you for the match."

Yu Changsheng didn’t press his advantage. Looking at the disgruntled Sun Shihan, he cupped his fist and offered a slight smile.

"...Forget it. My skills were inferior, there’s nothing more to say."

Sun Shihan wasn’t a sore loser. After giving Yu Changsheng a huffy glare, she waved her hand dismissively, jumped off the arena stage without a backward glance, and departed.

’That Yu Changsheng... just how did he see through my Illusion Realm?’ Sun Shihan pondered, but couldn’t figure it out.

But how could she have known? To Yu Changsheng’s terrifying Divine Sense, her proudest technique was laughably simple to see through.

"This match goes to Yu Changsheng!" the referee’s voice rang out at the perfect moment, announcing his victory.
