Chapter 404: Green Demon Poison! The Top 12!
Chapter 404: Green Demon Poison! The Top 12!
One Sword!
Zhou Yuan's face turned deathly pale.
The abundant sword qi erupted, and its absolute sharpness instantly gushed out, finally making him understand. In the secret realm of Jianghai Province's provincial examination, this breeder, Su Ping, faced countless opponents with unparalleled dominance, fighting a hundred alone!
What was he thinking, wanting to compare the power of accumulation skills with this person?
Zhou Yuan sighed.
However, there was nothing to regret.
He was an open-minded person, and there was nothing anyone could do about bad luck.
Moreover, this wasn't just a matter of bad luck.
In the end, it was still a lack of strength.
"I lost!"
At this moment, it wasn't just Zhou Yuan's concession but also the cold realization of almost all the beastmaster contestants.
No matter what!
No matter what, they couldn't let the Origami Man complete his charge!
Otherwise, defeat was certain!
This sword contained almost no skill, only an absolute outpouring of energy, sharp and wrapped in gold elements.
Unmatched!
The realm was the level of life for both beasts and beastmasters.
The gap between each realm was clear.
The energy value unleashed by the Origami Man was too high, far beyond what this realm should possess.
This battle made everyone give up their fantasies.
When facing this person, there was only one battle plan: an all-out offensive!
Only by breaking through this defense and interrupting the Origami Man's charge would there be a chance to truly defeat him!
"Impressive."
Su Ping stepped down from the arena, ignoring the cheers from the audience.
He glanced at Ye Zou, who was walking towards him, still holding the Time Sandglass as before.
This guy again? But just as Su Ping was about to speak, Ye Zou walked onto the arena with a smile.
Instinctively, Su Ping turned his head to look at the large screen in the center of the arena, and as expected, it was this guy's turn to fight.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.
However, he didn't mind.
When the enemy attacks, defend; when the water comes, block with earth!
He took a look at the four previous battles, including his own.
These four battles had high gold content.
Among them were three previous undefeated winners, including himself.
And as expected, Qu Zhen from Tianfu Academy and Shen Fu from Qilu Province both won.
However, the battle between Qin Xiaoxue's close friend, Ling Xiaoxiao, and Shi Yan from the Capital City Academy was somewhat unexpected. In the end, Shi Yan emerged victorious!
Ling Xiaoxiao lost.
That Earth Dragon had something.
Most importantly, this Shi Yan was quite hidden.
Originally, not many people really took this Shi Yan seriously.
Currently, among the known beastmasters, there were about three.
The Green Dragon of Chen Zhan from the Capital City needed no introduction.
Another was the second-ranked Bone Dragon from Xijing Province, named Xie Qiong.
Shi Yan was the most inconspicuous among them.
After all, he was called a beastmaster, but he was only a subspecies.
Not to mention, although it had a pair of wings, it couldn't even fly. Could it still be considered a dragon?
Before this, Su Ping didn't know much about Earth Dragons.
However, after a trip to Dragon City and some contact with the Dragon Gate, Su Ping had a basic understanding.
It was simply a dragon subspecies that had evolved to a certain extent.
These beasts, before fully becoming dragons, still retained some of their reproductive instincts.
Although the difficulty was high, some of it remained.
These beasts were also controlled by the Dragon Kingdom Beastmaster Association.
The strength of these beasts varied.
And this Earth Dragon was an evolved species of land beasts.
Shi Yan's Earth Dragon was a pitch-black lizard.
It had two wings on its back, but the only difference was the absence of dragon horns, which represented the dragon clan.
However, it also had two bumps on its forehead, clearly indicating that this creature's bloodline was very close to that of the true giant dragon clan.
This lizard's displayed strength had always been primarily charging and crashing, with extremely strong defense, obviously of the Earth attribute.
But in the battle with Ling Xiaoxiao, it unexpectedly displayed another hidden secondary attribute!
Poison!
Indeed, Shi Yan's Earth Dragon had the Toxic attribute.
Before this, Shi Yan had almost never used it.
This was why, in the previous battle, the victory scale had already tilted towards Ling Xiaoxiao's beast battle, but Shi Yan stole it.
Looking at the medical area in the distance, Qin Xiaoxue and Lu Xiaolu were comforting Ling Xiaoxiao, who was full of regret. Su Ping also shook his head.
Beast battles were like this.
On paper, Ling Xiaoxiao was actually a bit stronger than Shi Yan.
As the president of the Maddo Battle Society, Ling Xiaoxiao had a lot of experience in arena battles.
Moreover, as the fourth-ranked in the Maddo provincial examination, he was second only to Qin Xiaoxue.
However, on the arena, one careless move could lead to a situation where everything was lost.
Fortunately, with Ling Xiao Xiao's experience as a cautionary tale, Qin Xiaoxue seemed to take the upcoming battle more seriously.
The process was not without its dangers.
Together with Su Ping, they successfully advanced to the top twenty-four.
However, after a brief half-hour break in the afternoon, the rankings for the top twenty-four to twelve began anew.
The first round of eight participants caused Su Ping's heart to flutter slightly.
Ye Zhou, Dong Muchuan, and Qin Xiaoxue, the top three from the Maddo Academy, were all present!
Interestingly, the three of them were not pitted against each other.
The final outcome was something Su Ping had not anticipated.
Dong Muchuan was eliminated in this round.
Indeed, even Su Ping thought that if this guy was his hypothetical enemy, he would still be a bit troublesome. Dong Muchuan, who was eliminated in the top twenty-four to twelve, was defeated.
And the opponent who defeated him was none other than...
Pan Xiaoyu, the top student from the South Sea Academy.
At the same time, another young Beastmaster demonstrated a Super Skill in the final trial, aside from Su Ping.
Da Hai Wuliang!
A Super Skill of the Water Element!
Not only could it rapidly thicken the water molecules in the air, but under its control, each drop of water could become as heavy as a mountain.)
Furthermore, the seemingly infinite water source was a Water Element Super Skill that had been heavily promoted by the Breeder Association.
Moreover, Dong Muchuan's luck was also quite ordinary.
The random environment was a Water Element-rich place called 'Waterfall Pond'.
Of course, anyone could see that even without the environmental advantage, the ancient pet named 'Great Belly Goldfish' spewed out endless water with a thousand pounds of pressure, flooding the entire arena and even triggering its protective alarm energy shield.
Dong Muchuan, who primarily relied on Space Element assassination techniques, was already at a disadvantage.
Su Ping comforted this guy, which was a rare occurrence.
However, Dong Muchuan didn't seem discouraged at all. Instead, he waved his hand to encourage Su Ping, saying that he should be extra careful if he encountered Pan Xiaoyu and Mu Hanchan.
It was evident that in the next round of random matchups, when Mu Hanchan took the stage and Su Ping was still absent, it meant that he wouldn't face those two in the upcoming rounds.
No matter what, he wouldn't encounter them until the top twelve to six.
Finally, as the day grew darker and reached its end, the last four pairs of competitors' names finally appeared on the arena!
'Xijing Academy Xie Qiong vs. Maddo Academy Lu Xiaolu'
'Huaiyang Province Yang Mumu vs. Dianzang Province Lv Chan'
'Tianfu Academy Qiu Zhen vs. Northern Origin Province Shi Jinao'
'Jianghai Province Su Ping vs. Capital City Academy Shi Tuyan'
Indeed.
It must be said that Su Ping's luck was quite good.
To advance to the top twenty-four, most of them were already among the top in their respective provinces and academies.
There were one or two upsets, but in the top twenty-four to twelve elimination round, encountering Shi Tuyan, who was actually not highly ranked in the Capital City Academy, made Su Ping a bit skeptical about the 'random' nature of the matchups.
However, if it were before, Shi Tuyan's strength might have been questionable. A Ground Dragon, even if it was barely considered a Dragon, still lacked some significance.
But now, facing the Ground Dragon with the rare Toxic Species, this battle against the equally rare Toxic Species Qing Lang was undoubtedly captivating.
In fact, it was indeed the case.
Before even stepping onto the stage, Qin Xiaoxue and Ling Xiao Xiao approached, with the former clenching her fist and saying to him:
"Su Ping, fight hard and defeat the guy who eliminated Xiao Xiao!"
Ling Xiao Xiao quickly added, "Su Ping, you must not be careless. I was careless, and this guy got the better of me. His Ground Dragon is very troublesome!"
Su Ping chuckled and nodded without saying anything.
Regardless, Ling Xiao Xiao had a strained relationship with Qin Xiaoxue, and they were still considered friends.
Although the elimination rounds were winner-takes-all, there was no need to hold grudges.
But no matter what, he still had to win decisively, right?
Moreover, Su Ping truly didn't believe that any pet, in terms of the Toxic Species, could surpass Qing Lang's Green Demon Poison!
Shi Tuyan was a refined and gentle young man wearing glasses, with a slightly gloomy temperament. However, upon seeing Su Ping's arrival, he revealed a faint smile.
He didn't seem to care about the actions of Qin Xiaoxue and Ling Xiao Xiao, who were making fist gestures below the stage.
Neither side wasted time with idle chatter.
The referee quickly spoke up:
"Random Terrain: Misty Jungle! Countdown starts now, 10, 9..."
The countdown ended in an instant.
The world before them transformed into a jungle.
It was evident that the random terrain was determined based on the attributes of both parties' pets.
This time, Su Ping's luck was good.
However, when everyone thought that Su Ping would continue to display his signature tactic, something changed.
This time, there was a twist.
The summoned ancient Qing Lang didn't defend as it usually did. Instead, it suddenly howled towards the sky, and then charged forward.
Charging towards the mist-shrouded arena, facing off against Su Ping's lone wolf, Shi Tuyan's three summoned beasts rushed forward with equal speed.
Stu Yan, leading his three pets, also sprinted towards Su Ping's position.
Both sides were incredibly fast!
The vast arena, if they were to play hide-and-seek, could easily buy time.
However, the terrifying speed of their head-on collision meant that in less than a minute, they crossed the dense fog and forest, and the two sides met.
The difference was that on one side, Stu Yan led three pets, while on the other, even Su Ping himself was not present, only a thin, strange-looking Poison Wolf.
No one recognized what evolution it was.
All they knew was that it was a Forest Wolf evolution.
Most people also knew that this Forest Wolf was a mutant.
But...
"Su God, do you think you can stop me with just one pet, or even directly eliminate me? Are you being a bit too arrogant?" The senior from Maddo Academy must not have told you that you can never underestimate your opponent in the arena!"
Stu Yan adjusted his black-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge and spoke calmly, then waved his hand:
"Stones!"
The massive black lizard, a Ground Dragon named Stones, understood and charged towards Little Qing without paying attention to her.
Regardless, they couldn't let that Origami Man complete his charge!
This was the common understanding of everyone!
So, this Forest Wolf, his other two pets could handle it.
However, the charging Ground Dragon, swaying its massive body, directly smashed through the forest trees, but in the next second, it stopped.
On its originally pitch-black body, a faint light of light purple glowed.
Poisoned!
An all-pervasive deadly poison!
This was everyone's first impression of Su Ping's Poison Wolf, and it was also the most terrifying aspect.
Because this Poison Wolf truly achieved the feat of being impossible to guard against!
But Stu Yan was not afraid!
Although the Ground Dragon wasn't a true dragon, it was only half a step away.
Its body also possessed the powerful bloodline power of the dragon race.
This strength, along with the Ground Dragon's inherent resistance to toxins, was extremely high!
This was the main reason Stu Yan dared to let Stones charge head-on!
However, he had other thoughts.
Not to mention a mere Ground Dragon.
Even if a real divine dragon, a young dragon, came, as long as its level didn't exceed Little Qing's level was too high.
It couldn't ignore Little Qing's poison!
When it evolved, the Poison Fairy Ginseng's root and the Poison Fairy Ginseng's shed toxicity, which Little Qing contained from birth, were legendary.
This concept needed no further explanation.
And this time, Little Qing's poison also showed its uniqueness.
Previously, the Poison Fairy's poison seemed no different from other toxic species' effects.
Weakening vitality, reducing energy power, rendering it unable to move, and significantly reducing combat power.
But this time, Stu Yan finally understood the feeling of helplessness when facing toxic species pets.
The Black Stone General and Purple Jasmine Bee King hadn't taken action yet, and in just three seconds, the Ground Dragon, Stones, suddenly turned around.
Stu Yan was stunned: "Stones?"
"Hiss..."
The massive black lizard let out a series of incomprehensible hisses.
It seemed to be resisting something, fighting against something.
But in this resistance, it couldn't even execute its owner's command.
The next moment, a strand of earth spikes suddenly pierced from beneath its feet, targeting its owner and the other two pets!
"Holy shit?!"
The usually calm Stu Yan cursed aloud, and his body instantly turned into solid rock.
It became extremely hard, blocking his pet's attack.
But the next moment, the Poison Wolf suddenly moved, and in the misty forest, a flash of green shadow appeared, and a vine of poison spread out, instantly piercing through!
Clearly, the toxic species pet didn't have the advantage against Stu Yan's two pets.
But with the powerful Green Demon Body and the incredible 'Poison Fairy Ginseng', it was enough.
As a fellow Overlord Rank pet, Little Qing, if not counting its Exoself, could only control one pet.
Everyone watched as this solitary giant Poison Wolf, with just this one pet, completely restrained Stu Yan and his three pets. Even the Origami Man didn't need to take action, and they were thoroughly surrounded and defeated, losing all combat power, and were helplessly declared defeated.
Only then did they realize that this Poison Wolf seemed extraordinary too?
Even the three commentators, including the most knowledgeable Deputy Dean Lu, couldn't help but mutter to themselves:
"What kind of poison is this?"
However, there was no doubt that Su Ping's performance secured his place in the top twelve list of the professional assessment without any hindrance!
