Chapter 217: The Finale! Undisputed First Place! (Part 1)
An intense, blinding light exploded, followed by a deafening boom.
Fortunately, the Skill Power Testing Instrument had an incredibly powerful absorption effect for this type of skill energy. It could absorb all the skill energy, providing a direct visualization of its power.
As the light gradually dissipated, a series of rapidly increasing numbers appeared on the screen.
The Skill Power Testing Instrument for Monarch-ranked skills displayed numbers around 30,000 to 25,000, indicating the skill's power.
This was why, earlier, when Old Sha activated the Tree Prison, it scored over 24,000 points, and the feedback from the instrument indicated a Monarch Peak or Emperor First Rank level of power.
However, at this moment, the explosive blast effortlessly surpassed the 20,000 mark and continued to rise!
21,000... 22,000... 23,000...
The rising numbers represented an infinite amplification of skill power and, at the same time, the continuous refreshing of Old Sha's skill power limit.
As the numbers increased, the speed of energy amplification gradually slowed down.
Everyone stared at the number that had slowly exceeded 30,000.
There was silence.
This was just a Monarch First Rank Thousand Tree Wolf! Although it was an advanced skill, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?
"Ding dong~ The skill power of this bombing skill is 33,958! It also has burning and blinding effects!! The estimated beast's cultivation level is Emperor Second Rank to Emperor Third Rank!"
The Skill Power Testing Instrument spoke slowly.
After reaching the Emperor Rank, the skill power evaluation numbers become much more exaggerated. Although it was a full 10,000 points higher than the Tree Prison, the increase in rank was only relative to the standard power of a First Rank.
However, everyone glanced at Old Sha, who wasn't flushed or breathless, and instantly realized that such an attack didn't seem to be too exhausting for him.
Moreover, as Su Ping had just said, this attack was just a part of the effect of the Sun's Heart.
The Sun's Heart also had the effect of accelerating energy recovery.
Although they didn't know the exact details, as an advanced skill, it was impossible for it to have such a low offensive power.
Of course, if they had seen Old Sha's Sun Tail Beast Cannon blasting a hole in the Lin Hai Secret Realm of the Magic Capital Academy, they would never have such thoughts.
Su Ping wouldn't really let Old Sha accumulate power for more than half a minute to fire a strengthened Sun Tail Beast Cannon.
If that happened, destroying the Skill Power Testing Instrument would be minor; blowing up the Magic Capital TV station would be a bigger disaster.
Su Ping gently rubbed Old Sha's mane and turned to Zhu Hong and everyone present:
"Honorable judges, do you need to continue?"
Zhu Hong remained silent for a moment, then said, "Su Ping, can you replicate this advanced skill cultivation on other beasts?"
Su Ping understood the implication, but after some thought, he nodded and said, "It's possible, but it will consume a lot of time. Only the first-tier advanced Thousand Tree Wolf cultivation has a chance to awaken this advanced skill within a short time. Other tiers also have a chance, but the time required will likely be much longer, perhaps even years."
Su Ping wasn't lying.
The most challenging part of cultivating the Sun's Heart skill for the Thousand Tree Wolf was the Sunlight Absorption skill, which needed to reach the Perfect Level.
Only when Sunlight Absorption reached the Perfect Level could the Thousand Tree Wolf's Photosynthesis also reach the Perfect Level during cultivation.
This saved a lot of effort.
Then, by using the linked effect of the Thousand Tree Atlas, accelerating the understanding of the Wood Heart, and reaching the Perfect Level, they could awaken the Blindness Technique again. After ten days of fusion, the advanced skill Sun's Heart would appear.
It could be said that the complete cultivation of this advanced skill was even more complex and difficult than the cultivation of the Thousand Tree Wolf itself.
At the same time, the hard conditions were also more numerous.
It was only because Old Sha had a fortuitous encounter early on; otherwise, Su Ping hadn't seen any Thousand Tree Wolves reach the Perfect Level in Sunlight Absorption.
Therefore, replicating the skill cultivation of the Sun's Heart for the Thousand Tree Wolf was extremely challenging.
However, this was enough. Zhu Hong nodded, feeling a bit helpless as he glanced at this young troublemaker.
Indeed, this was a huge surprise.
But now, this young man had caused a big problem, and it was already giving them a headache.
The subsequent handling of this matter would naturally be considered by those in charge of promotions, and what they needed to consider now was how to determine the score. It had to be said that 380 points was already an incredibly high score.
If there were no surprises later, it was very likely that they would be the first place this year.
However, if the Thousand Tree Wolf could derive and cultivate advanced skills, and this advanced skill, which also belonged to the Thousand Tree Wolf's evolutionary form, couldn't earn additional points for the Thousand Tree Wolf's evolutionary form, then not only would there be discussions online, but they would also feel it was inappropriate.
A talented breeder who could cultivate advanced skills would undoubtedly be valued by the Dragon Kingdom. If the Dragon Kingdom didn't pay attention, there would be other countries and some ill-intentioned individuals who would help them.
This kind of situation, if not handled properly, could lead to inquiries, even for someone like him.
The problem was, how should these points be added?
Zhu Hong contemplated, and all the judges fell into silence.
At this moment, it was natural to wait for Zhu Hong to speak.
As the vice president of the Beastmaster Association and the highest-ranking person present, it was only natural for him to personally handle this matter.
So, Zhu Hong glanced at Su Ping and said, "Su Ping, did you develop this on your own?"
This time, Su Ping didn't speak, but Old Liu spoke on his behalf, "Yes, Zhu Hong. I can guarantee that from start to finish, the development of Sun's Heart, neither I nor Little Sun knew anything about it. It was only after we came to Metropolis that we heard about it from this kid!"
Zhu Hong nodded, "Good. The research achievement of the Jianghai Province Beastmaster Association, Thousand Trees Wolf, is worth 196 points, with a difficulty rating of 184 points, for a total of 380 points. After the committee's discussion, it has been decided that the special skill development of Thousand Trees Wolf has led to a new evolutionary form with even greater potential.
Therefore, an additional 21 points will be added, resulting in a final score of 401 points for Thousand Trees Wolf! At the same time, Su Ping, a specialized senior beastmaster from Jianghai Province, has made a unique contribution to the beastmaster industry. I will personally apply to President Feng for master-level researcher treatment for you!"
Before anyone could react, Zhu Hong continued his explanation, "Of course, it's just the treatment. The beastmaster ranking has strict standards. Developing super-rank skills is one of the most important criteria, but you haven't met the other standards. Therefore, I can only apply for corresponding treatment, but the specific title of beastmaster master will have to wait until you personally reach that level."
Zhu Hong smiled slightly, "Of course, I believe that with your talent and ability, that day will not be too far away."
Su Ping wasn't disappointed.
Beastmaster Master?
He didn't even know that he was already a senior beastmaster, so naturally, he didn't care about such an empty title.
On the contrary, at this moment, Zhu Hong was offering him a practical benefit without the need for an empty title, which was the best outcome for Su Ping.
The only issue was the score...
It wasn't too low, but too high.
Damn, the total score for the beastmaster competition was only 400 points.
Now, this Zhu Hong had inexplicably added an additional 21 points, bringing the Jianghai beastmaster team's score to a direct 401 points.
What did this mean?
Even if someone performed perfectly later, they could only achieve a perfect score of 400 points at most, as the total score was exceeded by one point.
But how could that be possible? So, even if there were still the Huaiyang, Imperial Capital, and Linjiang regions to come.
The final result of this beastmaster competition was already a foregone conclusion.
Wasn't this a bit too much to invite hatred?
Su Ping felt a bit uneasy.
However, after a second thought, not being envied by others was a sign of mediocrity.
Moreover, even if someone had grievances, they had to keep them to themselves.
After all, Su Ping was, to a certain extent, a second-generation figure.
That Ghost Saint never followed any rules when handling matters.
Damn it, their second and third generations were all incompetent but had connections and caused trouble. Why should he, with his abilities and connections, hold back so much?
So, he finally nodded, "Thank you, Master Zhu Hong."
Master Zhu Hong smiled slightly and didn't say more.
He was going to Linzhou after the competition to get to know this kid better.
"Since it's like that, let's announce the results. Also, the competition will be suspended for half an hour."
This was the first time the competition had been suspended, apart from the commercial break and lunch break.
However, neither the two hosts nor anyone else had any objections.
But this had nothing to do with Su Ping and the others.
This result surprised them all, but it was also within expectations.
The appearance of super-rank skills would inevitably cause an unimaginable sensation, which was normal.
So, after bowing to the judges, Liu Fuhai and Su Ping led Sun Chaoju, who hadn't said a word the entire time, and Old Sha off the stage.
They arrived at the backstage corridor, and Su Ping saw the eyes and figures along the corridor.
For Su Ping, only the front row with President Han and Ding Yan, and the back row with Ye Zhou, were familiar.
The others were all strangers.
They should have been strangers to Su Ping as well.
But from now on, they would probably remember until their dying day that at this special beastmaster competition, a unique young beastmaster had appeared.
Indeed, even the beastmasters who had already left the stage had come to the backstage.
The originally long and dark corridor now seemed a bit crowded.
Su Ping understood.
Zhu Hong had just mentioned cutting off the TV signal, and it was clear that in the break room, they had seen what was happening onstage.
Naturally, they also knew what Su Ping and the Jianghai beastmasters had done.
However, the other viewers couldn't continue watching due to the cut signal, but these people at the backstage didn't miss a thing.
Even though they couldn't see or hear anything from the back, no one could resist the temptation of witnessing it firsthand.
At this moment, the breeding masters from Huaiyang Province, Linjiang Province, and the Imperial Capital had the most complicated expressions.
Although some of them didn't hear the final additional points for Zhu Hong, the emergence of a super-rank skill would make the three breeding master teams, who were originally at the end of the competition, instantly lose their shine.
Su Ping paid no heed to these gazes, but his heart was a little anxious.
Old Liu, on the other hand, was all smiles as he bowed to everyone with a forced familiarity:
"Forgive us, everyone. We're going over there. Master Zhu Hong said that there will be a half-hour pause, so there's no need for you all to wait here."
Everyone looked at this sly old man who had gained an advantage, but no one said anything more.
It was understandable; when one's skills were inferior, there was nothing to complain about.
With a super-rank skill in play, what was there to grumble about?
Even the female president from Huaiyang Province, nicknamed Han Lao Hu, was convinced.
However, more than anything, they felt regret.
Damn it! When Ding Yan returned from Jianghai, he had emphasized Su Ping's matter to her, but at that time, although she was concerned, she didn't pay it much attention.
But they never expected this!
If only she had taken the initiative back then and lured... no, recruited Su Ping to Huaiyang Province, how could they have ended up in such a predicament, losing both the battle and the soldier? Although the bet with that Sea Core Spirit Turtle wasn't a precious item, it was still something given away for free.
At this moment, Sun Chaoju, who had been extremely nervous and submissive on stage, suddenly transformed.
He was brimming with confidence!
Although this time on stage had nothing to do with him,
Everyone could see that it was all thanks to Su Ping's efforts, but during this time in the Spirit Beast Master Association's guesthouse in Metropolis, how many disdainful faces had he encountered?
As a mid-rank breeding master, he was still someone of note in Jianghai, but in the Spirit Beast Master Association's guesthouse in Metropolis, he could hit a high-rank breeding master with a stone.
Naturally, he felt a bit stifled.
Now, although Su Ping had given him this face, the evolution of Thousand Tree Wolf was indeed his discovery, and he had a share in the origins of these achievements.
He certainly had the right to be proud.
Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the calm and handsome young face and the Thousand Tree Wolf with its horns on its head.
"Old Liu, you're not being fair! Such a big thing, and you didn't give us any hint beforehand!"
Finally, someone spoke up,
At this moment, compared to the countless viewers in front of the TV screens behind the stage, eagerly waiting for the live broadcast,
"Is this ad still going on?"
"I've already complained to the Metropolis TV station, damn it!"
In the Spirit Beast Master Association of Huaiyang Province, the impatient Jianghai Wolf was furious.
Especially Yang He.
"Damn it! I just want to punch that dog, Sun, right now! How dare he get such a huge advantage!"
"There's nothing we can do, his luck is just too good, nothing to say about it. But, what exactly is this super-rank skill? What effect does the Sun's Heart have?"
Someone expressed helplessly.
However, it must be said that they were not ordinary people; they had their curiosities, so the old Wang beside them suggested:
"How about we bring Sun back into the group and ask him again?"
With these words, the crowd, who had just been filled with righteous indignation, fell into an awkward silence.
They all blinked, but no one spoke.
They had kicked him out of the group a few days ago, and now they were going to invite him back and ask him questions immediately? That would only make that turtle son feel even more smug!
However, just as they were pondering, a voice came from the large screen.
"It's starting, it's starting!"
As expected, those damn ads finally disappeared, and the screen returned to the studio.
But, the people on the screen had vanished without a trace.
In their place, was a pair of male and female hosts.
Although the male was handsome and the female was beautiful, who had the time to care about that now?
"Dear viewers, there was a slight unexpected incident during the breeding master competition, which caused a disruption in the broadcast signal. Fortunately, it has been fixed.
At the same time, the breeding masters from Jianghai Province have presented the most remarkable breeding result so far. After the evaluation, the committee has decided to award an additional 21 points to the Jianghai Province's breeding subject, Thousand Tree Wolf. With this, Jianghai Province has taken the lead with a total of 401 points, temporarily ranking first. Also, due to equipment issues, the competition will be paused for 30 minutes. After the break, the competition will resume as normal. We appreciate your patience, dear viewers."
Before everyone could react,
The fleeting scene of the competition disappeared again.
In its place, was a documentary about the breeding master competition.
