Chapter 135: Last Gleam! The Mutated Thousand Wood Wolf!
Chapter 135: Last Gleam! The Mutated Thousand Wood Wolf!
Tsk.
Su Ping watched the brutal scene on the screen and couldn't help but shake his head.
He knew that the final battle of the Forest Wolf Battalion was probably over.
With Li Da eliminated, even though Sun Xiao and Er Zhuang were still around, there were still several other opponents left.
And these guys were all red-eyed from fighting.
They had to eliminate the Forest Wolf Battalion entirely.
Even without the Flame Ape, Su Ping knew that in the current situation, Er Zhuang and Sun Xiao wouldn't last much longer.
The reason was simple.
Besides the physical and mental strain from using the Sunlight Absorption formula continuously, the most important factor was that the sky was now covered with dark clouds, blocking the sun.
If the sun were still shining, with endless sunlight, there might still be a chance, but now, it was clearly not the case.
Er Zhuang's three Sunlight Absorption formula skills—Sunlight Absorption, Photosynthesis, and Heart of Wood—all reached the proficient level, so the burden he carried was indeed lighter than other Thousand Wood Wolves.
But without direct sunlight, it was of no use!
Even a skilled housewife can't cook a meal without ingredients!
Thus, the Flame Ape was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
But it was enough.
Beside him, after the morning's intense battles, everyone looked at Su Ping with amazement.
Even in such a situation, the Thousand Wood Wolf had shown its weaknesses, particularly its vulnerability to fire, and it lacked direct powerful offensive skills, focusing more on field control and comprehensive development.
But what kind of powerful pet beast could achieve such results while also being a leader-level pet beast?
Clearly, none!
Precisely because of this, it was unreasonable to expect the Thousand Wood Wolf to have even more powerful offensive capabilities.
Even Vice President Liu let out a long sigh:
"You've really given me a big surprise, kid!"
Indeed, it was a big surprise!
Such a Thousand Wood Wolf, if sent to the Breeder Championship, might not win the championship, but it certainly had a great chance.
Although this wasn't a low-level, mass-popular evolution and did come with some breeding costs, its potential was worth the investment.
After a pause, Old Liu continued firmly:
"When we get back to the association, I'll fulfill my promise and personally apply for your Advanced Breeder Qualification Certificate in the Wolf Specialization!"
Old Liu had never imagined that his words would come true so soon.
Su Ping smiled slightly, not particularly concerned about the matter, but rather curious about the Breeder Championship:
"That's not urgent. President Liu, when exactly is the Breeder Championship this year?"
Liu Fuhai didn't even think about it:
"You didn't pay attention before. It's always held between New Year's Day and the Lunar New Year. Usually, it's over in one day. After all, with over twenty provinces in the Dragon Nation, each province only needs about ten minutes to showcase their achievements.
There's no need to share everything in detail; just showing the experimental process, breeding insights, and the final product is enough!"
Su Ping blinked:
"I see. I thought you had to share the breeding methods thoroughly with all the viewers!"
Vice President Liu smiled:
"Actually, in the early days of the Breeder Championship, that was the idea, but it didn't work out. Breeders were too protective of their methods and didn't want to share them freely. Think about it, who would willingly share something they worked hard on for free?
Moreover, it was later discovered that this approach was counterproductive, causing pet beast prices to crash and leading to unrest in certain areas. It was a lose-lose situation.
However, the Dragon Nation does have patent fees, but it's still difficult to enforce such strict rules. So, the Dragon Nation doesn't require full disclosure. As I mentioned before, you can choose to submit your breeding methods to the association, and they will reward you with a large number of credits!
Additionally, you might receive some rare and valuable resources, and any breeder who exchanges for your method through the association will pay you a significant share of credits as patent fees!
Furthermore, breeding methods obtained from the association are strictly prohibited from being shared, as per the law. Of course, even with soul contracts, it's hard to enforce such strict rules."
Vice President Liu explained the pros and cons, and Su Ping nodded. He was aware of these later developments.
However, Vice President Liu was right.
Human nature is selfish, and no one would willingly share their hard-earned breeding methods for free.
Therefore, powerful beastmasters in the secret realms often pass down their methods as a legacy before their death.
This was true in ancient times and remains largely unchanged in modern times.
Vice President Liu glanced at Su Ping, who, like Wood Heart, also didn't impose any demands. He smiled and said, "So, when the time comes, just show off the evolved form of Wanmu Zhilang, and that's all you need to do. There's no need to overthink it."
Su Ping nodded, "One day is all I need. I have to make a trip to Megacity, so don't let it delay my itinerary."
"Megacity?" Vice President Liu was slightly taken aback, then immediately asked with curiosity, "Is it Qin Xiaoxue who asked you to go there?"
Su Ping nodded.
When Wood Heart evolved, he had mentioned it to Qin Xiaoxue.
When Wood Heart evolved into the Crown Wolf King, he wanted her to witness it personally.
After getting an affirmative answer, Vice President Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly, "Then you don't have to worry. This year's Breeder Championship is being held in Megacity..."
"What?"
As Su Ping and Vice President Liu chatted enthusiastically, the situation on the battlefield remained intense.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as relaxed as it seemed from the outside.
Sun Xiao had sustained minor injuries in some places.
It wasn't due to attacks but from being scratched by tree branches and leaves as he swiftly leaped through the forest.
But now wasn't the time to worry about these minor injuries.
Sun Xiao glanced helplessly at Er Zhuang, who was panting heavily beside him, and at the group of turtles who had trapped him in a dead end with no escape.
"You bunch of dogs, you're not playing fair!"
"Captain Sun, in the adult world, only the results matter, not the process."
Mo He's expression was indifferent, but his heart was bleeding.
Damn it! In front of him, the Linlang Team had only Sun Xiao left, and where had his Black Tiger Team's strength gone? Now, only he, the Black Tiger Captain, remained.
After a chaotic morning of fighting alongside the Linlang Team in the Tree Realm Prison, they had taken out four members of the opposing team, but the losses among the other teams were several times higher.
Undoubtedly, the Linlang Team had become the most outstanding squad in this competition.
Even if they didn't come in first, they would undoubtedly be the most admired and praised, as they had lost without shame.
Moreover, given the current situation, it was unlikely for the Linlang Team to come in first unless they played dirty and stopped fighting, choosing to chat instead until the toxic zone shrank, earning them a substantial amount of survival points.
Only then would it be possible to surpass the Linlang Team, who had already taken a significant lead in the morning.
But was this possible? Wouldn't it be shameful?
In this situation, only the Linlang Team had the thick skin to take first place, while the other teams truly didn't.
Fortunately, no matter what, they had finally eliminated the Linlang Team. Otherwise, aside from the Wolf Fang A Division, the other divisions would have truly lost face.
At this thought, Mo He's expression turned stern, and he no longer hesitated, "Brothers, get ready!"
Although he wasn't the captain of all the teams, he had been leading the pursuit to annihilate the Linlang Team.
There was no need to hesitate at this moment. In this corner where the Linlang Team had nowhere to hide, they would work together to eliminate this damned Linlang Team that had disrupted the general division competition!
Sun Xiao felt helpless as he looked at the approaching Shadow Tiger, Soul Devouring Leopard, Shadow Flower Leopard, Cloudy Baboon, and Cloud Pattern Tree Python.
Among them, the Cloudy Baboon and Cloud Pattern Tree Python were both Wood Attribute pets, which was evident in this jungle. Aside from having powerful racial potential, Wood Attribute pets had relatively stronger self-preservation abilities.
Damn it! They had no sense of sportsmanship! Er Zhuang didn't have much energy left to continue fighting.
These turtles were all attacking together!
Sun Xiao's eyes lit up, "Colonel Deng, among the remaining people, after eliminating my Linlang Team, there are only two combat-capable members left in your Shadow Leopard Team. I'm afraid that after eliminating me, you'll be next! Why don't we join forces, eliminate them first, and then I'll directly give the championship to you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Colonel Deng, but unfortunately, the latter replied indifferently, "No need. Among those remaining this time, there are no winners. Eliminating the Linlang Team first is the best outcome."
"Hmph, still trying to sow discord, die!"
The Shadow Tiger roared and charged towards Sun Xiao. Sun Xiao felt helpless and took out his Vital Sign Watch.
However, just as he was about to activate the watch, a piercing howl came from the side!
"Awoo~"
The wolf's howl stopped Sun Xiao's movements. He looked at his pet.
Obviously, the Wolf race was the most arrogant pet race.
A wolf pet like this wouldn't accept the action of conceding without a final desperate fight.
So, upon sensing its owner's gaze and the charging tiger, Er Zhuang...
It also possessed a Wood Body, the sharpest claws, and...
At this moment, a beam of light shone, and the Shadow Tiger and Cloud Baboon only felt their eyes brighten as a powerful light seemed to blind them.
The Shadow Tiger, being a powerful Dark Attribute, revealed its strength, and the Blinding Light skill had minimal effect on it.
However, the Cloud Baboon was clearly affected.
The intense light before its eyes rendered it sightless, and Second Zhuang, without paying attention to the other beasts, charged forward, its sharp claws striking the Cloud Baboon's body.
As it pierced the Cloud Baboon with several blood holes, the final surge of energy caused the surrounding branches to form wooden spikes and thorny vines, directly piercing the Cloud Baboon's Beastmaster!
[Tree Ape Pack Member: Cheng Yuan, you have been eliminated. Current Tree Ape Pack points: 72. Please immediately control your beast and either remain in place or leave the battlefield!]
At this final moment, a Beastmaster was eliminated.
As the Ape Trainer's Master's face darkened, everyone's expressions became interesting.
"What the hell? How many more tricks does this Wolf's evolved form have? Where did this new skill come from? What skill is this?"
"Blinding? Creating a bright light to temporarily blind the enemy."
"Huh? Isn't this a skill only possessed by special Light Attribute beasts? How can a Nature Attribute beast have it?"
"Who knows? Would you have believed someone telling you the Timber Wolf Pack could win the competition?"
"Yeah, that breeder kid is a freak."
"At least it's finally over."
Even though the Cloud Baboon was eliminated, the outcome would remain unchanged.
Indeed, that was the case.
Sun Xiao flashed a few times, avoiding the attacks of the beasts, but Second Zhuang, who had exhausted himself protecting his master, was now covered in wounds.
Even on his chest, there were injuries that had pierced the bone.
It was over!
Even Sun Xiao thought so.
Not to mention Second Zhuang, even he lacked the energy to dodge.
A Beastmaster's physical strength, though stronger than an ordinary person's, wasn't their primary source of livelihood.
Not to mention Second Zhuang.
However, Sun Xiao didn't try to activate the Life Sign Watch this time.
Second Zhuang wanted to stand and die, so let the opponent's attack decide!
Sun Xiao moved next to Second Zhuang, who was panting heavily.
He rubbed his eyelids, which were so swollen they were almost fighting, and stood by Second Zhuang, who was whimpering.
Then, facing the Shadow Tiger's surging Dark Tide, Sun Xiao closed his eyes.
After waiting for three seconds, the Life Sign Watch's elimination voice never sounded.
He opened his eyes in surprise, only to pause slightly.
Second Zhuang's body blocked his view.
It was clear that this competition wouldn't involve life and death, and the beasts were well aware of this.
Therefore, there wouldn't be any touching scenes of self-sacrifice, which might be common on a real battlefield but would never appear in a competition like this.
So, what did this mean? What was happening? Not only Sun Xiao, but even Mo He and the other team members were stunned, as were all those watching the live broadcast who witnessed this scene.
What was this?
It was just a competition, not a life-or-death struggle. Was this necessary?
Moreover, even if it blocked one attack, wouldn't the final result remain unchanged?
Even Su Ping blinked.
Unconsciously, his heart felt a little anxious.
Damn, did I make a mistake in training and cultivation?
Did I not train Second Zhuang well, causing him to become rigid and wooden at this moment?
If so, it was possible that Second Zhuang hadn't recognized reality and his mind had become less effective.
The problem was, none of the other Timber Wolves had this issue. They were all trained together. Did Second Zhuang do fewer math problems? Was there a shortcut in his training? Su Ping's heart pounded.
However, the next moment, a sudden change occurred!
On the vast live broadcast screen, the Timber Wolf that blocked Sun Xiao's path suddenly released a beam of light from its Y-shaped horns, like two bright light pillars!
In the next moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
In the cloudy sky, a ray of sunlight seemed to pierce through, like a bright light pillar!
