Chapter 408: The Battle Against Bone Dragon! Who Has the Upper Hand?
Chapter 408: The Battle Against Bone Dragon! Who Has the Upper Hand?
"The battle for the top twenty is so intense! Even Situ Yan almost lost!"
"After all, reaching the top twenty means you've already secured a reward."
"Yeah, it's a real tangible benefit! And it's the last chance, no one wants to give up easily!"
It was clear that even after an hour had passed, and lunch was over, many people were still discussing the morning's battle for the top twenty.
The Beast Taming battle in the morning was undoubtedly intense.
"It's a pity for Liu Pei. As the first-place finisher in the Huaiyang Province Provincial Exam, she couldn't even make it into the top twenty! It's truly difficult to obtain this reward!"
"So what? Forget about the top twenty, and forget about being the first in Huaiyang Province. Look at the first round of the Elimination Round; how many didn't even have the qualification to advance to the top twenty-four?"
"Dong Mu Xuan's strength is indeed impressive. If it weren't for meeting Pan Xiaoyu, I feel that he would have had the qualification to compete for the top twelve!"
"There's no other way, it's also fate, but look at the third-place finisher from Capital City Academy, Qin Xiaoxue. She consecutively faced two first-place finishers from the Provincial Exams, but she defeated them all!"
"The Elimination Round is also determined by the previous Battle Royale. Qin Xiaoxue's random opponents in the subsequent rounds weren't the first-place finishers, indicating that she was already recognized as a potential champion."
"It's different. Dong Mu Xuan's opponents were Mu Hanchan and Pan Xiaoyu, the first-place finishers from Ice Origin Academy and South Sea Academy!"
"Alright, if we're talking about luck, who has worse luck than Zhou Yuan?"
It was clear that everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they mentioned the guy who had consecutively faced Su Ping twice.
Over the past few days, this guy had become a hot topic.
Especially with the attention he had gained from his encounters, which had brought him a surge in popularity.
It was evident that being on such a stage, inherently attracted attention.
As the twelve strong were announced, the highly anticipated Professional Assessment gradually unfolded!
The Top Twelve!
In such a battle, no one would neglect their opponent, but neither would they excessively pray for an easy opponent.
To reach this stage, one must be a formidable opponent.
However, without a doubt, facing different opponents required corresponding tactics.
And so, after the familiar beauty's passionate opening speech, the Professional Assessment, which had captured the attention of the entire nation, had everyone's gaze fixed on the electronic screen above.
With a single command, the twelve names representing the pinnacle of the current young Beast Tamers began to rapidly arrange and combine in a random and chaotic manner! Gradually, this arrangement slowed down.
Finally, the twelve names were slowly locked in place.
Six pairs of opponents formed and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Su Ping, with the quickest reaction, saw his name and the name of his opponent, who had appeared in his line of sight.
His eyebrows raised slightly.
Because, in a certain sense, his luck wasn't bad.
His opponent wasn't the first-place finisher from the various academies.
Even though they had all made it to the top twelve, in the public's eyes, Xie Qiong from Xijing Province, and the one from Shan He Academy, were considered to have slightly inferior strength.
Su Ping's opponent was Xie Qiong.
Su Ping subconsciously turned to look.
She was a girl with long, straight black hair.
Wearing a large pair of black-framed glasses, and an ordinary appearance, even with a hint of gloom, but the halo around her gave off a special allure.
As Su Ping looked towards her, she also looked back at Su Ping.
This was a girl with black hair.
Wearing a large pair of black-framed glasses, although her appearance was ordinary, and even with a gloomy aura, the halo around her gave off a unique charm.
In Su Ping's gaze, the other's name and reputation, which had overshadowed Chen Zhan's, appeared in Su Ping's mind.
Compared to Chen Zhan, who directly obtained the Azure Dragon through his grandfather's connections, and his family's pet beast, Xie Qiong's Bone Dragon was different.
In Xijing Province, near multiple ancient battlefields, although not as many as the Spirit Academy, there were still many undead.
So, Xijing Province, in those multiple ancient battlefields, over this period, some people went to try their luck.
Of course, wanting to obtain another Bone Dragon, the difficulty was immense.
Even many have lost their lives because of it, which finally cooled down this fiery trend.
However, in Xijing Province, Xie Qiong's popularity even surpassed Qin Feng, who was ranked first.
In the end, dragons were simply too captivating.
It was also the greatest pursuit and achievement for the Dragon Kingdom's Beastmasters.
As a commoner, Xie Qiong's story was indeed more inspiring compared to Chen Zhan's.
But Su Ping didn't expect his first-round opponent to be her.
He smiled generously at his opponent and then looked at the others.
What he didn't expect was Qin Xiaoxue's good luck.
Her opponent was none other than An Hong, the fourth-ranked student from Mountain River Academy.
A Beastmaster specializing in Earth-type beasts.
Not only was his ranking not high, but he was also lucky to make it into the top twelve. At the same time, his attribute was completely suppressed by Miss Qin, so his professional assessment journey would likely end here.
As for the others...
Ye Zhou's opponent was Feng Rong from Heroic Spirit Academy.
Chen Zhan's opponent was Qin Feng from Xijing Academy.
But the most eye-catching battle for Su Ping was another team's match.
It was also the most anticipated battle at this moment!
The first-ranked Pan Xiaoyu from South Sea Academy against Mu Hanchan from Ice Plateau Advanced Academy.
These two were both victims of Dong Muchuan's eliminations.
And in this battle, the first to showcase advanced skills were these two Beastmasters.
Su Ping was surprised to encounter them at the twelve-to-six stage.
Su Ping's eyebrows rose slightly.
Compared to the previous ranking battles, this time there was only one giant arena!
Obviously, this battle would be a continuous series of matches.
And the first match was Su Ping versus Xie Qiong!
Under the gaze of the familiar referee, Su Ping and Xie Qiong stood on opposite sides and stepped onto the enormous arena.
This time, the distance between the two exceeded several kilometers!
This was undoubtedly good news for Su Ping.
But no one would complain.
Su Ping hadn't broken any rules.
Moreover, over time, more and more Beastmasters had tried this method.
After the origami figures were connected, they could indeed be stored within the Beast Taming Space, and their souls could merge, becoming one entity.
This was a beast unlike any other!
As the pioneer and discoverer of this beast, Su Ping deserved such treatment.
Furthermore, at this point, most people had already understood.
Compared to them, this younger monster tamer only had two combat-ready beasts.
While they had three.
This was already a huge advantage!
However, this time's external factor made many who favored Su Ping feel disappointed:
"Random Terrain: Vast Desert! Both sides, prepare. Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
The entire arena instantly transformed.
The massive mechanical arena became a desolate desert.
The scorching sand underfoot and the setting sun on the horizon seemed so real.
This terrain didn't favor either side, but there was no doubt that it wasn't good for Su Ping.
The desert environment was the most challenging for him, and Xiao Qing's Wood-type powers would struggle to be fully utilized here.
At the same time, without excessive concealment, Su Ping and Qian Yi's actions would immediately appear in their opponent's field of vision.
But Su Ping didn't show a hint of disturbance.
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the match began, and two familiar lights appeared.
Xiao Qing and Qian Yi's figures emerged in the boundless yellow sand.
Obviously, in this map, they had to bring out their true skills!
Without Su Ping saying a word, Xiao Qing's soul connection instantly moved!
Then, in the astonished gazes of everyone, a figure emerged from Xiao Qing's body!
A clone!
At this moment, not only the audience but even the participants below, like Ye Zhou and Chen Zhan, had their eyes slightly narrowed.
They actually knew about this wolf's abilities quite early.
But when Su Ping was alone on the water platform at the Moon Island during the East Sea Calamity, even though someone had taken a video, the distance was too far.
Although they could see some of it, the details were unclear.
However, everyone knew that Xiao Qing had cloning skills.
But they didn't expect this clone...
At this moment, even Qin Xiaoxue slightly frowned, as the soul contract conveyed this scene to her.
The Crowned Wolf King, as a Wood-type wolf evolution with cloning skills, was something Qin Xiaoxue was familiar with.
But for some reason, after seeing that strange mutated wolf evolution, she felt...
Su Ping's beast's clone seemed a bit different from the Crowned Wolf King.
However, Wood did not convey any valuable information.
In a sentence:
'Encountering this strange Lin Wolf Evolution that dares to impersonate Wood's ability, I must challenge him!'
Qin Xiaoxue paid no attention to her unreliable family member.
Instead, like everyone else, her gaze was fixed on the arena.
However, they could stare, but as an opponent, Xie Qiong obviously couldn't!
Three spirit beasts were summoned instantly.
Including the one covered in white bones all over its body, with only the dragon head containing a pale soul fire, that skeletal bone dragon.
Bone dragons are also dragons, except for the Earth Dragon like Si Tuoyan, most of them naturally can fly.
Standing on the pale dragon head bones, Xie Qiong adjusted her black-framed glasses, and with extreme speed, she quickly rushed towards the opponent at the end of her line of sight!
Although the distance between the two sides on the arena was several kilometers.
However, at this extreme speed, she still quickly saw Su Ping on the other side, but what made Xie Qiong slightly startled was that at the end of her line of sight, in front of Su Ping, besides the paper figure with colorful light rapidly rotating,
the originally existing green elemental demon wolf, at this moment, had actually changed from one to two?
Identical?
But in an instant, Xie Qiong thought of something, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: 'Clone?'
She raised the corners of her mouth, looking at a spirit beast beside her, the Dark Eye Demon.
A dark-type undead spirit beast.
With extremely sharp senses.
The clone's strength was naturally inferior to the original, mainly focusing on confusion!
'I must break through this wolf's defenses and interrupt that spirit beast's power-up!'
However, what Dark Eye Demon gave her made her startled.
'Can't see it?'
'All originals?'
'Could it be that Su Ping, such a proud cultivator, can cultivate two completely identical spirit beasts?'
'This can't be, right?'
Unfortunately, with insufficient intelligence and analysis, and unable to delay,
'Wood, go!'
Undead-type spirit beasts are naturally restrained by poison-type.
Not to mention an undead-type bone dragon!
Although the current Wood hasn't awakened dragon-type or too many energy attack-type skills, the bone dragon's strength as a giant dragon-type, its physique and power, are the most powerful!
Therefore, from any angle, the current Su Ping, as long as he interrupts that paper figure's power-up, there's no chance of winning!
Xie Qiong had confidence!
This legendary cultivator's path, ends here!
But she also understood the logic of a lion fighting a rabbit, so she directly unleashed her full strength:
'Wood, Bone Armor! Death Body!'
In an instant, the bone dragon's body seemed to be enveloped by a pitch-black armor.
Except for the armor, its body, like ashes, was shrouded in pitch-black smoke, slowly burning from its body.
In just a blink of an eye, Xie Qiong transferred from the bone dragon's body to the nearby Bat-Winged Demon Swallow,
while the bone dragon turned into a pitch-black sword, like a black meteor falling from the sky, with a similarly black tail flame, smashing towards those two demon wolves!
A huge roar seemed to shake the entire arena.
The tremendous force caused the arena to briefly transform from a desert into a mechanical one, then instantly switching back,
But a huge pit and the energy barrier it generated were enough to prove the power of this strike!
The smoke and dust made it hard for everyone to see,
Even the referee couldn't see clearly.
But what no one expected was,
In just five seconds,
A dragon's roar sounded.
This roar was filled with unwillingness and anger,
And after the smoke, in the sky, Xie Qiong's expression changed.
As the smoke dispersed, everyone saw that the originally white bone dragon's skeleton was once again tinged with a strand of purple-blue.
Those two green demon wolves, facing such an attack, neither dodged nor avoided, and one even stretched out its claws, meeting the bone dragon falling from the sky!
The result of the collision seemed to be self-evident.
Su Ping smiled.
He saw it, that Death Body was a special enhanced advanced skill, just now the bone dragon's speed and strength even far exceeded lower-ranked Monarch-level spirit beasts.
But what of it?
The Green Demon Body could ignore almost all direct physical attacks!
And once touched by the Green Demon Body, even souls couldn't escape the terror of the Green Demon Poison?
Undead-type against poison-type,
'Who restrains whom is not certain!'
