Chapter 318: Xiao Qing's Stage! The Sapphire Beast Wolf Spirit with No Weaknesses!

Chapter 318: Xiao Qing's Stage! The Sapphire Beast Wolf Spirit with No Weaknesses!

The howl of the wolf reverberated throughout the entire sea ship stage.

Old Sha's increasingly robust body surveyed the surrounding waters around the sea ship stage.

The sunlight, absorbed by the Sun Heart, became the power accumulated by Old Sha.

This transformed the Thousand Wood Wolf, whose body was once covered in branches, into a child of light, resembling a mobile light source.

The originally cerulean body gradually turned somewhat pale.

Indeed, the effect of the sea ship stage was remarkable. Almost as soon as the Water Essence Gold was placed, in less than three minutes, on the periphery of the eighteenth sea ship stage, there was a 'pattering' sound like boiling water.

Beneath the illuminated patch of cerulean seawater, bright blue figures emerged from the depths.

The body was nearly three meters long.

What drew even more attention was the extension of the upper jaw at the front of the creature,

An incredibly sharp, straight, and long upper jaw cone spike!

Golden Flag Swordfish!

A water-based pet beast of the Golden lineage.

Its primary attack method was the 'sword' that extended over a meter long from what resembled a nostril on its head!

Under the sunlight, it shimmered with metallic brilliance, and any hard object seemed capable of being pierced by this creature.

Simultaneously, the scales on its body were as tough as steel, and ordinary attacks couldn't inflict the slightest damage!

Even high-end advanced mechanical weapons like sniper rifles would struggle to harm it without special armor-piercing ammunition, demonstrating its formidable defensive capabilities.

This was the Golden Flag Swordfish!

It had no fancy skills and was purely a physical attack pet beast.

If there was only one, it wouldn't be a problem, but once they formed a group and created a 'sword formation' in the ocean, a single charge could pierce through yachts and large ships.

Unfortunately, this creature was also extremely fast underwater.

It was a true underwater assassin.

However, due to its size, it had never been seen in the Water Heart before. Now, in West Lake Xisha, a large-scale group of fierce beasts from the East Sea had entered, and they had seen this creature.

Under Su Ping's observation, the first swordfish in the school finally reached the shore!

In its disproportionately small eyes, which didn't match its massive body, it fixed its gaze on the center of the sea ship stage, revealing an unconcealed greed for the Water Essence Gold in the groove.

As expected, these white-eyed fish were indeed brainless creatures! After fighting here so many times, they might have suffered numerous casualties, but when the scent of resources and treasures appeared, they still greedily approached, which was rare among Overlord-tier pet beasts.

However, the underwater environment differed from that on land, so Su Ping could understand.

He didn't think much about it, as at this moment, Old Sha had already taken action. The first Golden Flag Swordfish to reach the shore swayed its body, and although its speed was slower compared to when it was in the water, it was still extremely agile.

The sharp sword-like beak and the bloodlust in its eyes indicated that this first Golden Flag Swordfish to reach the shore was a genuine fierce beast.

Unfortunately, its body, which was like a charging knight, was instantly enveloped by a heaven-entrapping net.

Old Sha's Tree Prison instantly condensed, and in just a glance, it completely restrained the first Golden Flag Swordfish that had rushed onto the sea ship stage.

Then, the Tree Prison, which seemed to possess ten thousand pounds of force, compressed further, and the ironwood branches directly pierced through the swordfish's gills, drawing out blood in an instant, which was immediately absorbed by the ironwood branches of the Tree Prison.

In just a breath, the Golden Flag Swordfish's blood and vitality were completely absorbed by the branches, and it died an unnatural death!

The body, which was over three meters long, not even including the length of the sword-like beak, was thrown in front of Su Ping.

Su Ping rubbed his hands and took out the cutting knife he had prepared earlier.

The knife itself was of good quality, and after the Golden Flag Swordfish lost its vitality, its terrifying defensive scales lost most of their effectiveness.

With a slight exertion of force, Su Ping pierced its body.

The white fat beneath the scales and the clearly defined red fish meat were indeed mouth-watering.

Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, proving that Zhao Chen hadn't deceived him.

For Su Ping, the greatest value of these white-eyed fish was the culinary pleasure they provided.

Other meat foods required some processing, but this fish meat tasted excellent when eaten raw.

Su Ping understood this well.

He wasn't in a hurry, and his knife skills were swift. He cut a piece and threw it to the little crow on the side.

"Caw!"

Although the little crow was nearing reversion to its ancestral form, its food requirements had significantly decreased. Still, it let out an excited cry, clearly delighted with the taste of this food.

Unfortunately, Qian Yi, standing nearby, showed no interest in this creature. This paper man, with a head full of swordsmanship and combat, only cared about various types of paper and the scent of the undead.

At this moment, Xiao Qing also shared this sentiment. After her evolution, Xiao Qing's requirements for ordinary food had significantly decreased.

Her elementalized body even made Xiao Qing lose interest in the tree fruit she once loved the most.

Su Ping shook his head and looked at the first Golden Flag Swordfish that had come ashore. With its presence, the surrounding area had already sensed it, and more Golden Flag Swordfish appeared on the shore. Su Ping then said, "Alright, Little Qing, it's your turn! Let me see your growth and improvement!"

"Woof!"

Not only was Su Ping curious, but there were also some Beastmasters on the adjacent 17th and 19th Sea Ship Platforms who were observing the situation on the 18th platform.

Although the distance was over two thousand meters, ordinary people could still see some movement, and Beastmasters of a certain level had enhanced physiques and eyesight, allowing them to see clearly.

When the news of Old Sha's appearance and a Sovereign Beastmaster entering the 18th Sea Ship Platform spread, many Beastmasters planned to go there. Some wanted to take advantage of the situation, while others sought revenge for the Beastmasters who had been injured or killed there. They wanted to kill more of these hated Golden Flag Swordfish.

However, after the staff member who installed the Water Essence Gold returned to the registration office and revealed the cruel truth, no one dared to go anymore.

There was only one Sovereign Beast, and the other two were Overlord-level? It was common knowledge that a Sea Ship Platform could accommodate over twenty Beastmasters, so if they were all Overlord-level, it meant there would be sixty Beast pets fighting.

In this situation, they had just been defeated and driven away by the Golden Flag Swordfish group and a small team of Cruising Golden Swordfish. Now, there was only this young man who didn't know his limits, with one Sovereign Beast and two Overlord-level Beast pets. It would be impressive if he could even keep his life.

Therefore, the other Beastmasters on the 17th and 19th platforms watched closely, curious about this mysterious young Beastmaster who had suddenly appeared.

However, when he summoned his Beast pet, even from a distance, it caught the attention of many.

What was that strange green elemental creature? Was the other one a paper-folding man? But how could a paper-folding man reach the Overlord level?

These doubts intrigued the Beastmasters on the two Sea Ship Platforms, who were less intensely engaged in the battle against the beasts. In their free time, they turned their attention to the 18th platform.

Su Ping didn't mind these gazes. He was already somewhat famous, and his identity would likely be exposed once he returned to Crescent Island.

At that time, he might not have the opportunity to fight the fish alone.

With this thought, Su Ping summoned the unremarkable Little Flame from his Beastmaster Space.

As soon as Little Flame appeared, it hissed unhappily, clearly uncomfortable in the extremely humid environment on the sea surface, with the Water Essence Gold's aura.

Then, the little creature flashed and landed on Little Crow YaYa's head, blinking its fiery eyes warily at everything before it.

Su Ping ignored it and turned his attention back to Little Qing.

Not only him, but even Old Sha and Qian Yi were doing the same.

Old Sha even retracted the Tree Prison that had formed around the Sea Ship Platform, leaving the stage entirely to Little Qing.

Indeed, for Little Qing, the current situation could only be considered her stage, not a battlefield.

Little Qing's flame-like elemental body swayed gently in the wind.

The next moment, three identical figures emerged from her body.

In fact, Little Qing had just finished evolving and was stabilizing her power. Otherwise, this permanently existing external incarnation could have been summoned continuously.

This external incarnation could help Little Qing absorb energy, enhance her power, and practice skills. It was an incredibly powerful skill, akin to the effect of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.'

That was why it was rated as Hall-level.

The three external incarnations and the main body were indistinguishable.

They all had the same strange elemental bodies and Sapphire Beast bodies. Moreover, they possessed all the skills that Little Qing's main body had!

"Clone skill?"

At this moment, the Beastmasters watching the 18th Sea Ship Platform were slightly stunned. However, apart from the clone skill used by the strange elemental Beast pet, what puzzled them even more was the behavior of the strange wolf king on the Sea Ship Platform. After the three clones appeared, the powerful Sovereign Beast, which they considered the most formidable, slowly retreated and approached the Beastmaster. It took a piece of fish meat from the young Beastmaster's hand and began to eat voraciously.

It seemed to have no intention of continuing the fight! Many exchanged puzzled glances.

These were the Golden Flag Swordfish that had just arrived! Even if they had just arrived, there were already more than twenty of them. The numerical disparity was enough to make a single Beast pet feel intimidated.

This young Beastmaster was only using one Beast pet? No one understood, but no one spoke up. Instead, they watched curiously, anticipating the upcoming events.

The three clones positioned themselves in the east, south, and west directions.

From the looks of it, each clone was responsible for guarding one direction.

Despite the fact that Su Ping, Qian Yi, and Old Sha had no abnormalities, they were all surprised by the scene that unfolded.

This was their master's pet! If a pet couldn't handle this situation, then Qian Yi could just ignore it.

Because Xiao Qing was unable to pose any threat to its combat power.

Finally, with three clones and the original body of Xiao Qing, which was indistinguishable from the others, the Golden Flag Swordfish that followed closely behind finally made a large-scale landing.

Su Ping's first glance was directed at what should have been Xiao Qing's original body.

On Xiao Qing's original body, at this moment, facing the five Golden Flag Swordfish that came straight towards her, the quickly swaying, straight-charging Golden Flag Swordfish,

Xiao Qing did not dodge at all.

She just watched as these things stabbed at her.

Then, they directly pierced Xiao Qing.

Indeed, at this moment, not only Su Ping, but even many of the beastmasters watching from the Eighteenth Sea Ship Platform were stunned when they first saw this scene.

They thought this kid had some secret trick up his sleeve, but it turned out to be a big joke? However, before anyone could react, the swordfish that had pierced Xiao Qing's body with their upper jaws withdrew their sword tips as usual, and that was it.

Xiao Qing's elemental body was torn apart, but it instantly recovered.

However, after the five swordfish made physical contact with Xiao Qing's true body, they turned green from their upper jaws, which were hard and sharp, at a visible speed. In less than a breath, the five swordfish that had detached from Xiao Qing's body were completely covered in green.

They calmly lay in front of Xiao Qing's original body.

Xiao Qing tilted her head, looking at these five same-level swordfish, perhaps a level or two lower than her current level, but not too far apart. They just died right in front of her, as if even she herself hadn't reacted,

It was so easy to solve? In fact, it was that simple.

In the Green Demon Body, the elemental body had almost invincible resistance to such attacks.

At the same time, the powerful physique of the Green Demon Ginseng, which had reached the pinnacle of poison and wood systems, made it so that ordinary creatures couldn't even touch it, let alone a pet that had little resistance to poison.

Even if it were a gold or undead pet, it probably couldn't withstand it! However, this was just Xiao Qing's most basic ability. At this moment, the other three clones also attracted attention.

The Eastern clone seemed the most relaxed and carefree.

It still squatted on the ground.

It was as if it was lying on the ground, looking at the vast Sea Ship Platform, but it had no intention of moving. Because at this moment, under its feet, there were faint green shadows moving.

Su Ping's previous nurturing had perfectly brought out this clone.

The second type of external incarnation: Split Shadow! Compared to the second external incarnation, this Split Shadow was more in line with the public's impression of clone skills.

These shadow clones didn't have the powerful strength of the original external incarnation, but they had one advantage: quantity and ease of use!

The shadows almost reached the Eastern Sea Ship Platform, and then their entire bodies were enveloped in green as they rushed towards each Golden Flag Swordfish.

Then, one after another, not too loud but still loud enough to affect the surrounding ten meters, violent explosions occurred!

Su Ping had previously cultivated this skill for Xiao Qing: Poison Explosion!

However, this Poison Explosion was usually placed in objects by poison pets as poison grenades.

But after the Split Shadow clone appeared, this external incarnation became walking bombs.

Undoubtedly, this battlefield was the most intense.

One after another, loud explosions rang out.

The aggressive Golden Flag Swordfish were directly blown to pieces, and within each shattered body, the terrifying toxicity from the 'Demon Body' of the Green Demon Body enveloped them, causing the coastline here to turn slightly green.

Even the subsequent Golden Flag Swordfish that were preparing to continue the siege and charge unconsciously avoided the area, showing how terrifying the power of this skill was.

This battlefield was too intense, with limbs and bodies scattered everywhere, making Su Ping shrink his neck.

So, he turned his gaze to the relatively calmer Southern clone.

The Southern clone was the simplest.

Perhaps because there were the fewest Golden Flag Swordfish in the Southern direction, this clone used the attack methods of ordinary forest wolves.

With the speed boost from the Green Demon Body, its claws and poison vines instantly killed those few Golden Flag Swordfish.

However, lacking in skill spectacle, Su Ping glanced at it and then shifted his gaze to the last Western clone.

This final external incarnation was also the most unique.

Because what appeared in Su Ping's field of view was no longer the form of Xiao Qing's external incarnation, but had completely transformed into another form.

Moreover, it was a form very familiar to Su Ping.

Su Ping brought back a plant-type beast from the Linzhou Xijiao Forest Farm, among which was a Heaven-reaching Vine.

The Heaven-reaching Vine was extremely long, and in the past, it could even encircle the Poison Wood Heart.

Of course, it's no longer possible now.

However, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Qing was very familiar with this Heaven-reaching Vine.

Xiao Qing's ability was to summon Poison Vines.

And now, this last External Incarnation, which transformed into a Heaven-reaching Vine.

The final ability of the Sapphire Beast Body!

Transformation!

At this moment, the ability of the Heaven-reaching Vine was fully displayed in the hands of Xiao Qing's last External Incarnation.

Not only that, but it was also enhanced by the Sapphire Beast Wolf Spirit's own abilities.

The results were naturally impressive.

This could be seen from the incredibly demonized Heaven-reaching Vine, which, in addition to the green vine tendrils, also had flowers emitting poisonous gas, and several Golden Flag Swordfish that had already been poisoned to death.

The vine tendrils had spread from the Ocean Ship Stage into the water, and the Golden Flag Swordfish in the water were already floating belly-up on the surface, clearly showing the power of a large-scale poison attack and indiscriminate instant kill!

Su Ping pursed his lips, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Qing's ability was already impressive to onlookers, but for Su Ping, who was used to his beasts and their effects, it was nothing new.

Xiao Qing's ability was not like Qian Yi's, which focused on a single point, reaching the pinnacle of absolute speed and strength.

Instead, it was unimaginable in its comprehensiveness and its ability to torment!

Indeed, none of Xiao Qing's abilities had the decisive impact of Qian Yi's ability, but from the current perspective, even with Su Ping's comprehensive vision, he couldn't see any weaknesses in this Sapphire Beast Wolf Spirit!

No weaknesses—this was Su Ping's evaluation of Xiao Qing.

Or perhaps, with this level of beasts, it was impossible to discern Xiao Qing's full potential.

It was unknown whether the so-called Cruising Golden Swordfish could bring about any surprises.

Su Ping looked expectantly at the 18th Ocean Ship Platform, which had become a dead zone, like a fish pond that had been blasted to pieces.

Not far away, there were expressions of astonishment and horror in the eyes of the onlookers.

"Holy shit, did I see wrong?"

"What kind of beast is that? And is that really an elemental beast?"

"No! That's definitely a Monarch-level beast. Although it's too far away for the True Eye to work, my Beast Eye Devil, which is renowned for its scouting ability, can check the status of even ordinary Monarch-level beasts. But I can't see the status of this beast!"

"Damn it, is this Senior Beastmaster pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?"

"Bullshit Senior Beastmaster! That's a General-level beast! You guys still haven't recognized who this is?"

Finally, someone who had been watching the sea surface couldn't help but speak up, looking at the leisurely figure of the young Beastmaster.

Everyone turned to look at him, and he directly revealed Su Ping's identity:

"I thought I recognized him, but I didn't dare to acknowledge it. I never expected that he would appear here alone, unafraid of any dangers.

Isn't this Su Ping, the Beastmaster who represented our Jianghai Linzhou in the Beast Breeding Competition before the New Year? That giant wolf like a Wood Kirin is the Thousand Wood Wolf that competed!"

With these words, the entire Ocean Ship Stage was captivated, and countless people turned their gaze to the young figure, their expressions filled with astonishment and reverence.

In the world of Beastmasters, strength always spoke for itself.

Breeding and the combat power of the beasts themselves were what mattered at this moment.

This young man, whose name had been heard many times but rarely seen, finally matched the young face from earlier:

"Damn, is it really Master Su?"

"No wonder, but hasn't Master Su become a Master yet?"

"It's only a matter of time..."

"I'm going to exchange my ticket, I'm going to the 18th Platform..."

"As expected, only Master Su could breed such a beast at such a young age! But what exactly is this beast?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a new breed created by Master Su! It looks a bit like a Lin Wolf, but it can also split, could this be the legendary Crowned Wolf King?"

As Su Ping's name spread, it quickly became a hot topic on the entire Ocean Ship Stage.

This was normal, as Su Ping's name was already too well-known.

Especially in Jianghai Province, and even more so in Linzhou.

However, this young man with such talent was too low-key, and not everyone could see or recognize him in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.

But just then, someone looked towards the sea surface, where a fin stood upright, shimmering under the sunlight.

"No! The Cruising Golden Swordfish are coming again!"

Indeed, the rapidly approaching fish with protruding fins like sword blades cutting through the waves were the Monarch-level Cruising Golden Swordfish!

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and tell Master Su to retreat, these are Monarch-level fish!"

"I'm going to ride to the rescue! Maybe by saving Master Su from danger, I'll gain his appreciation!"

(Chapter End)

"Rest assured, with Su Peiyushi by his side, there's that Monarch-rank Beastmaster's Ten-Thousand Wood Wolf, which evolved the Transcendent Skill of Ten-Thousand Wood Wolf! Perfect, we can see the power of the Transcendent Skill, Sun's Heart!"

"Wait a minute, why isn't Su Peiyushi planning to use the Ten-Thousand Wood Wolf?"

Someone sensed something amiss, and at this moment, it was indeed so.

Su Ping naturally saw that behind those floating Golden Swordfish corpses, the arrival of the evolved bodies of the Swordfish with their sword-like fins standing upright.

However, there was no other movement.

For Xiao Qing, the previous ones weren't even considered appetizers, and the upcoming ones were barely a test.

But soon, Su Ping realized that these Golden Swordfish didn't seem like much of a test?

Indeed, Xiao Qing was still Xiao Qing.

Even when facing the squad of less than ten Golden Swordfish that had arrived, the impact of the Crossed Sword Qi, Xiao Qing's combat style, didn't show any changes.

It was still that terrifying, all-pervasive poison! The terrifyingly potent poison enhanced by the Green Demon Ginseng.

Through the various abilities of the External Incarnation, it seeped into the bodies of these Golden Swordfish, and after a while, there was a slight difference; these Golden Swordfish lasted three seconds longer.

This common evolved body of the Golden Flag Swordfish was faster, and in addition to the other skills originally possessed by the Golden Flag Swordfish, it finally mastered another remaining skill of the Gold System:

Cross Sword Qi.

It was also a common skill of the Gold System.

But even so, it only lasted three seconds longer.

In those three seconds, these Golden Swordfish played with Xiao Qing and her External Incarnation.

Several cunning and greedy Golden Swordfish advanced ten meters towards the center where the resources were placed, but in the end, they also stopped several dozen meters in front of Su Ping.

Su Ping slowly walked, gazing at the Golden Swordfish with its body turning green.

The knife in Su Ping's hand, meant for cutting meat, didn't go down in the end.

At this moment, he discovered a fatal flaw in Xiao Qing's combat, from his perspective.

That is,

How the hell are we supposed to eat this thing after it's killed?

The incident of eating poisonous sunflower seeds was still on Su Ping's mind.

However, those poisonous sunflower seeds were just Xiao Qing venting her excess toxic power.

But now, the poison in these fish bodies, was enhanced by the Green Demon Ginseng.

Among the Transcendent Skills of the Green Demon Body, it was specifically emphasized that it couldn't be healed by ordinary abilities or resources.

So, looking at these poisoned Monarch-rank Golden Swordfish, Su Ping could only sigh in admiration.

What a pity, such a waste! Su Ping was generally satisfied with Xiao Qing's abilities.

Transcendent combat was somewhat challenging for ordinary Beastmasters, but for Su Ping, it wasn't a big deal.

In fact, this so-called Transcendent combat, which was apparent at a glance, didn't pose much of a challenge.

With two Transcendent Skills, both incredibly powerful, Xiao Qing's strength was formidable.

As a master in cultivation, the strength of skills and the power of evolution were enough to make up for the not-so-large gap in cultivation.

This was the main reason why human Beastmasters stood tall on Blue Star, and in less than ten thousand years, they became the rulers of Blue Star, even able to leave the planet and enter the starry sky.

The higher-level the Beastmaster, the longer the cultivation time of the Soul Contract Beast, the more advantageous and powerful it is compared to beasts of the same rank.

Thinking of this, Su Ping slowly exhaled, and even at this moment, Xiao Qing seemed a little unfulfilled.

So, Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the entire Crescent Island's inner lake and the dozens of Ocean Ship Stages, where Beastmasters were constantly battling, and then he smiled slightly:

"Why not, go big?"

Obviously, no one answered him at this point. Only his beast looked at him.

But Su Ping's actions proved that after he spoke, he had already made up his mind and was determined.

He took out a special 'stone' from the small pond in his Beastmaster Space, formed using the 'Dripping Water into the Sea' space characteristic.

Calling it a stone was a bit inappropriate.

Because of its colorful and extremely beautiful appearance.

This was a coral stone.

It was a rainbow coral produced by the Rainbow Coral Worm beneath Su Ping's Heart of Water Lake, according to the Beastmaster Association's evaluation, it was over ten years old and already considered a Monarch-rank rare water resource.

Its value was not ordinary! Rainbow Coral was an irresistible temptation for countless aquatic beasts.

Originally, Su Ping had planned to use this to construct his Beastmaster Space.

But now it seemed that if it was placed on the Ocean Ship Stage, the effect might be better? So, Su Ping looked at the bored Qian Yi and Lao Sha, put the Little Crow that was still tearing at the Golden Flag Swordfish meat on his shoulder,

and then went to the resource placement area, and imitating the staff's actions, slowly placed the rainbow coral inside.

Thirty seconds later, the entire Eighteenth Ocean Ship Stage was in an uproar.
