Chapter 192: First Place! Record Broken!
Chapter 192: First Place! Record Broken!
【Elite Solo Training Tower Ranking Change! First Place Record Broken! Current First Place: Temporary Student - Su Ping. Located in Trial Arena 21, current challenge wave: 13 waves!】
This voice echoed throughout the massive Trial Tower, reaching the ears of every student within, as well as those waiting outside from Metropolis Academy.
Countless people were astonished, shocked, and stunned.
For most of them, the Elite Rank was already a thing of the past.
Those who came to this academy were truly Heaven's Elite.
Their natural talents were beyond question.
However, precisely because of this, they knew that the difficulty of the Elite Training Tower was much higher than that of the Lord Rank.
Moreover, due to the rapid realm advancement, many couldn't afford to spend too much time in the Elite Rank.
Under such circumstances, the sudden notification caught everyone off guard.
What did they just hear?
The first place in the Elite Rank had changed hands? Did someone finally break the record set by the Metropolis Academy's freak, who had stopped at the twelfth wave?
But how was this possible? Everyone rushed to the mechanical tower's real-time ranking, and as expected, the first place name had become a completely unfamiliar one.
Su Ping.
What surprised everyone the most was his prefix.
It wasn't a first or second-year student but a 'Temporary Student.'
He might not even be considered a student of Metropolis Academy.
An outsider had broken the Metropolis Academy's Elite Solo Beast Battle Strength Limit first-place ranking.
Moreover, the most crucial part was that this wasn't even the limit, as the words 'Still Challenging' appeared at the back.
This meant that the person in Trial Arena 21, who had suddenly appeared, was still challenging!
In an instant, countless students turned their heads to look.
It was impossible not to want to see who this person was at Trial Arena 21.
Many students, after confirming the news, took out their phones and posted this explosive message on the school's forum and group chat:
【Ye Zhou's record has been broken! Elite Solo Beast Battle First Place Changed Hands!】
This news spread like wildfire across the entire forum in an instant.
At this moment, everyone inside the Trial Tower heard this voice notification.
This included the two smart roommates, who had entered with Qin Xiaoxue, and Dong Muchuan, among others.
As they listened to the music and announcement, Dong Muchuan, who was about to enter the Trial Tower again, stopped in his tracks.
His friends also halted.
Su Ping?
This name.
The group exchanged glances.
If they hadn't misheard earlier, Dong Muchuan had asked the two senior female students about a person named Su Ping.
And now, at this moment, in the Trial Tower, this name appeared.
In such a manner?
However, after fully understanding the content of the announcement, they swallowed hard.
One of the seniors, with the surname Guo, couldn't help but ask:
"Dong Muchuan, is the Su Ping you mentioned earlier the same person?"
Dong Muchuan didn't respond but slightly narrowed his eyes.
Temporary Student, Qin Xiaoxue, and the two senior female students' subtle actions.
These clearly indicated that this Su Ping was the one Dong Muchuan had in mind.
Because he had just asked Dong Muchuyun and learned that this Su Young Master had indeed come to Metropolis.
Dong Muchuan let out a long breath.
Indeed, he lived up to the expectations of both the Dong family and Elder Sang, who didn't oppose his close relationship with Qin Xiaoxue.
With only half a year since his awakening.
In the Beastmaster Academy of Metropolis, he had broken the record set by that freak in the Elite Rank?
How was this possible?
How did he do it?
The Elite Rank's challenge wasn't just about combat difficulty.
The most challenging aspect was the energy residue after reaching that level.
The Elite Rank was fundamentally different from the Lord Rank.
Elite Rank beasts' energy recovery was too slow, and their consumption was relatively high.
It was challenging to handle prolonged battles.
Could it be that this mysterious person had an unimaginable beast cub?
To achieve this level, it would likely require a Holy Spirit Rank beast cub.
But how was this possible?
Even if there was such a Holy Spirit Rank beast cub, wouldn't it be too valuable and rare?
Could someone truly achieve this?
Dong Muchuan didn't know.
How Su Ping did it was a mystery to Dong Muchuan as well.
At this moment, Dong Muchuan clearly lost his motivation to continue challenging, a smile curving his lips.
As he learned more about Su Ping, his curiosity about this junior from Linzhou, two years younger than him, only intensified.
So, glancing at his friends, he suggested with a smile:
"Guys, shall we go check out the excitement?"
They nodded, and soon, Dong Muchuan's face darkened.
Not to mention the elevators for going up and down.
Even by the stairs, a stream of figures were heading towards the third floor where Room 21 was located.
Dong Muchuan finally realized what was happening.
Damn, it seems like not only he was interested, but everyone else seemed to be as well.
Moreover, as the news spread, it seemed that even more interested people had gathered outside the trial tower.
Dong's young master was pushing his way through the crowd, trying to reach the third floor.
On the other side, the two girls, Ling Xiao Xiao and Lu Xiao Lu, were more aggressive.
They blinked at each other, initially feeling a bit dazed.
Their first thought was the same as Qin Xiaoxue's.
Did they hear things?
Were they so eager to hear the name 'Su Ping' that they imagined it?
Why else would they hear such an absurd announcement?
Damn, what's going on?
Weren't they supposed to be discreetly observing?
Weren't they supposed to watch and see what was going on between Miss Qin and this Su Ping?
Why did his name suddenly explode?
Why did it make the two of them feel so dazed?
"Holy shit! Let's go up to the third floor and see the godly figure! Where did this big Buddha come from, is he going to break through the elite-level trial tower?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go, otherwise, we won't even get to see the fresh gossip!"
"..."
We won't even get to see the fresh gossip!
This statement immediately snapped Ling Xiao Xiao and Lu Xiao Lu back to their senses.
They glanced at each other again and saw the ferocity in each other's eyes.
Who dares to compete with them for gossip? They'll make sure that person has no gossip to hear!
In an instant, the two girls unleashed their full strength as senior students, pushing aside the crowd on the stairs. They caused all the students running up the stairs to stumble, and with three swift moves, the two girls reached the third floor of the trial tower.
Then, they saw Qin Xiaoxue and the Dean at the entrance of Room 21, which was the first room on the third floor.
Qin Xiaoxue glared at the two girls, no longer having the patience to deal with these two smartass roommates.
In the entire trial room, the person with the least reaction was her.
Because when she came, she had already accepted the setting told to her by her grandmother.
- With Su Ping's strength, he would probably reach the fifth wave, and in slightly better circumstances, he would be able to reach the sixth wave.
However, less than half an hour after accepting this setting, she was now being told that it had been rewritten.
That stinky brat who hadn't been seen for half a year was not only an exceptional breeder but seemed to have transformed into an extraordinary beastmaster as well?
Who the hell was he trying to reason with?
If it weren't for the strict rules prohibiting outsiders from interfering with the trial room, not even allowing surveillance, she would have barged in right now to see what was going on inside.
Aunt Qin, standing beside her, also looked puzzled.
She was now beginning to doubt if there was a mistake in the information she had received.
Facing the Dean's gaze, Aunt Qin felt helpless. This kid had never shown her the true capabilities of his contracted companion beast!
However, facing the Dean's gaze, Aunt Qin thought for a moment and said,
"The Thousandwood Wolf bred by Su Ping is quite strong..."
The woman was speechless. She already knew how strong the Thousandwood Wolf was. If it could possess the potential to breed super-ranked skills, it would probably have a brighter future than the Crowned Wolf King!
But the problem was, the Thousandwood Wolf wasn't inside the trial room!
However, the woman wasn't worried.
Others couldn't see what was happening inside either.
But as the Dean with access to the entire academy, she would be able to find out eventually.
It just wasn't the right time yet.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
She walked out from the corridor of the passageway leading to Room 21 and looked at the stream of figures coming up the stairs. With a calm expression, she said,
"Everyone, be quiet and make way. Don't cause a stampede!"
It must be said that although not many students had actually seen her before, they were already well-informed about the Dean. Under the spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit rank, the crowd was orderly.
However, no one expected that this matter would even attract the attention of the Dean.
Where did this temporary student, who seemed to have come out of nowhere, come from? Everyone was curious.
At this moment, Su Ping, who had captured the hearts of many, was still unaware of what was happening outside.
But for Su Ping and the little paper man, the trial tower's challenge seemed to be finally coming to an end.
Even with the little paper man's cheating-like racial traits and skills, his energy was almost depleted.
In fact, the reason he was able to persist until now was due to some unexpected changes that had just occurred.
At this moment, Qian Yi's realm was at the Elite Tenth Stage!
Yes, Qian Yi, who hadn't leveled up after Su Ping's two secret realm absorptions, had finally achieved a breakthrough in this continuous battle.
Otherwise, Qian Yi would have fallen at the fourteenth wave.
This challenge was too absurd.
Even after achieving the breakthrough and promotion, it was still difficult!
Yes, now it was the fifteenth wave, the last wave of the third stage.
But looking at what was in front of him, even Qian Yi, let alone Su Ping, wanted to curse.
He couldn't understand how the trial tower had achieved this and how it had simulated this thing.
Su Ping stood in front of the final challenge of the fifteenth wave, and to his surprise, it was not a group of beasts as in the previous waves, but a single pet beast.
And not just any beast, but a dragon!
Similar to the Western Ice Dragon from earlier, this one was also a Western Dragon. However, instead of ice, this dragon breathed fire, a Fire Dragon or perhaps a Red Dragon.
In terms of racial level, it was no different from the Ice Dragon, both at the Emperor Peak. But the problem was that this dragon had a real-world level of Lord Third Rank!
Su Ping couldn't believe it. It wasn't just a potential Emperor-grade dragon, but a Lord-grade hatchling, not even an Elite-grade one like the previous dragon.
And it had directly reached the third rank of the Lord stage.
After witnessing this, Su Ping began to wonder if there were even more challenging waves ahead.
Could the Elite-level trial be this insane?
Paper Man had once defeated a Lord Third Rank Steel-Armed Ape with relative ease.
But if someone were to say that the Steel-Armed Ape and the Fire Dragon were of the same level, and that Paper Man could easily defeat the dragon, Su Ping would have smashed that person to death.
Even in its peak condition, Su Ping had some blind faith in Paper Man.
Fire, though the most effective against Paper Man's attributes, and with a higher racial cap and level strength, Su Ping still felt that Paper Man might not lose.
But they had been fighting for nearly an hour!
Fourteen waves of battles, each more difficult and absurd than the last. If not for the temporary breakthrough, their energy would have been depleted long ago.
Such a battle was incredibly challenging and made no sense.
Paper Man continued to persevere.
When facing the Fire Dragon, it directly channeled the Fire Sword, attempting to comprehend a brand-new fire-element sword technique.
Unfortunately, even as a natural-born Sword Soul, it was still too difficult for Paper Man to continuously execute such a move.
Sword techniques were not something that could be easily comprehended.
And even if it did comprehend the technique, facing the unreasonable flames of the Red Dragon, breaking through its defense would be no easy task.
Su Ping had gained a deeper understanding of the Dragon race, which was indeed one of the most powerful races on Blue Star.
The body of the Red Dragon was different from that of the Ice Dragon, with fiery red scales that seemed to be imbued with flames.
Su Ping took the opportunity to search for information in the Breeder Association.
He learned about these Western Dragons and realized that his previous naming of the Ice Dragon and the current Fire Dragon was incorrect.
Strictly speaking, the two dragons in the Trial Tower were a White Dragon and a Red Dragon.
Only when a Western Dragon reaches the Holy Spirit Rank does its body condense into an elemental form, earning names like 'Ice Dragon', 'Fire Dragon', or 'Lightning Dragon'.
At the Emperor Rank, they are named after their scale colors, such as White Dragon, Red Dragon, or Yellow Dragon.
However, there was no doubt that regardless of the type of dragon, the current situation remained the same.
But it wasn't without its benefits.
During Paper Man's battle with the White Dragon, Su Ping had already been considering the future cultivation and evolution direction for Paper Man.
After seeing the Fire Dragon, Su Ping had some new ideas.
Qian Yi's swords could also be completely controlled by Qian Yi.
In its current state, Qian Yi didn't need any other skills.
It only needed to continuously comprehend sword techniques.
Other energy changes or even more advanced skills could be perfected through the combination of Paper Man's skills.
For example, the fleeting divine light that had appeared.
His favorite skill, Wood Heart, the family skill that truly empowered the Wood Heart.
If he could cultivate this skill on an ordinary Paper Man and then use it to complete the formula for a Super Rank skill, while also having it controlled by Paper Man, wouldn't that mean Qian Yi could temporarily combine some Super Rank skills?
Su Ping felt that with this idea, Paper Man's future suddenly became much clearer.
With the five swords, if they could add an Ice Sword and the remaining four Elemental Swords, and cultivate skills like 'Metal Heart' and 'Fire Heart', could Qian Yi control them and temporarily combine them into the Super Rank skill 'Elemental Heart'?
It was difficult and absurd, but not impossible.
As Su Ping thought, he watched the arena.
And the result was as expected.
Qian Yi was once again blasted away by the flames, and in the virtual trial arena, a cold voice finally announced:
"Attack damage exceeds endurance, your trial has failed!"
"Wave 15, Endurance Time: 254.5 seconds, Total Trial Time: 54 minutes and 27 seconds!"
"Temporary Student Su Ping, you have surpassed the current Solo Elite-level limit and become the top-ranked student! However, as you are not a formal student of this academy, you are not eligible for credit rewards!"
Su Ping blinked, a little dazed.
Was that it?
He hurried over to check on Qian Yi.
Thankfully, Qian Yi had only exhausted all its energy and temporarily fainted.
Su Ping took out an energy recovery potion and fed it to Qian Yi before placing it in the Beast Taming Space.
Then, he left the trial arena.
At the end of the passage, he saw a crowd of people.
