Chapter 408: The Bone Dragon Showdown! Who's the Counter?
Chapter 408: The Bone Dragon Showdown! Who's the Counter?
"The top 20 battle was so intense! Even Shi Tu Yan almost lost!"
"After all, reaching the top 20 means there are already rewards to be had."
"Yeah, it's a real tangible benefit! And it's the last chance, no one wants to give up!"
Obviously, even after an hour had passed and lunch was over, many were still discussing the top 20 battle from the morning.
The morning's Beastmaster battle was incredibly intense.
"Liu Pei really missed out. As the top student in Huaiyang Province, he didn't even make it to the top 20! It's truly difficult to get that reward!"
"What's the big deal? Forget about the top 20, forget about being the top in Huaiyang Province. Look at the first round of eliminations, how many couldn't even make it past the top 24?"
"Dong Mu Xuan's strength is truly impressive. If he hadn't met Pan Xiaoyu, I think he'd have a chance to compete for the top 12!"
"There's no choice. It's fate, but look at that third-place Qin Xiaoxue from Maddo Academy. She consecutively faced two top students and defeated them both!"
"The eliminations are based on the previous rounds, and Qin Xiaoxue's random opponents didn't include the top-ranked ones in later rounds, indicating she's already recognized as a potential champion."
"It's different. Dong Mu Xuan's two opponents were Mu Hanchan and Pan Xiaoyu, the top students from Bingyuan Academy and Nanhai Academy!"
"Alright, if it's about luck, who's less lucky than Zhou Yuan?"
Obviously, when this guy who faced Su Ping twice in a row was mentioned, everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
After these days, this chubby guy had become an internet celebrity.
Especially with his performative personality, he started live-streaming after his elimination, gaining quite a bit of online attention.
Obviously, the fact is, being able to reach this stage already makes one a dragon among men.
Amidst these discussions,
The afternoon's two battles gradually began!
The top 12!
In this battle, no one paid excessive attention to the opponents, but neither did they pray excessively.
The opponents who made it to this battle were not to be underestimated.
No matter who they faced, it wouldn't be an easy victory.
However, there was no doubt that facing different opponents required adjusting tactics accordingly.
So, as the familiar female host passionately rallied the audience, the highly anticipated assessment caught everyone's attention, and all eyes turned to the electronic screen at the top.
With a command, the twelve names representing the top young Beastmasters began to flash rapidly and chaotically. Gradually, the flashing slowed down.
Finally, the twelve names were slowly locked in, forming six pairs of opponents for everyone to see.
Su Ping was the quickest to see his name and his opponent, who caught his eye.
His eyebrows rose slightly.
From a certain perspective, his luck was actually quite good.
His opponent wasn't the top student from any academy.
Although all had made it to the top 12, some were considered relatively weaker, like Xie Qiong, the second-ranked in Xijing Province, and An Hong, the fourth-ranked in Shanhe Academy.
Su Ping's opponent was Xie Qiong.
Su Ping instinctively turned to look.
She was a girl with long, straight black hair.
Wearing large black-framed glasses, her appearance was ordinary, even a bit gloomy, but the aura around her gave off a special charm.
As Su Ping looked at her, she also looked back at him.
At the same time, this relatively inconspicuous girl, who had made a name for herself in the exams, even overshadowing some of Chen Zhan's (the second-ranked in Xijing Province) achievements, came to mind.
Compared to Chen Zhan, who directly relied on his grandfather's connections to get the Azure Dragon and his family's resources to raise his pet, Xie Qiong's Bone Dragon was different.
In Xijing Province, near many ancient battlefields, though not as many as in Eling Academy, there were still many Undead pets.
Xie Qiong's Bone Dragon was one she discovered and contracted herself.
Although there were definitely inside stories, after all, in the Dragon Kingdom, the control of Dragon pets was extremely strict.
However, Xie Qiong had revealed this without facing any consequences, indicating she had completely claimed ownership.
The subsequent nurturing was the same.
So, in Xijing Province, many had gone to the various ancient battlefields to try their luck.
Of course, the difficulty of finding another Bone Dragon was immense.
Many people lost their lives due to this, which finally put an end to the fervent craze.
However, in the Xijing Province, Xie Qiong's popularity even surpassed Qin Feng, who was ranked first.
This dragon, in the end, was too captivating.
It was the ultimate pursuit and achievement for the Dragon Kingdom's Beastmasters.
As a self-made individual, Xie Qiong's situation was far more inspiring than Chen Zhan's, who had some understanding of it.
Su Ping did not expect that his first-round opponent would be her.
He did not mind, though, and after meeting her gaze with a generous smile, he turned to look at the others.
What he did not expect was that Qin Xiaoxue was quite lucky.
Her opponent was none other than Anhong, the fourth-ranked student from Shanhe Academy.
A Beastmaster skilled 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 element was completely countered by Miss Qin, so this round was likely the end of his career.
As for the other opponents—
Ye Zhou's opponent was Feng Rong from Yingling Academy,
Chen Zhan's opponent was Qin Feng from Xijing Academy,
And the match that most caught Su Ping's attention was the other team's.
It was the most anticipated match of the moment!
The first-ranked Pan Xiaoyu from Nanhai Academy against Mu Hanchan from Bingyuan Academy.
These two were among those responsible for Dong Muxuan's elimination.
And during this match, the first two Beastmasters to display their advanced skills emerged.
Su Ping had not expected to encounter such a situation in the round of twelve.
His eyebrows raised slightly.
However, compared to the previous ranking matches, this time, the arena only had one massive fighting stage!
It was clear that this round's battles would be conducted one after the other.
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 of the enormous stage.
This time, the distance between them exceeded several kilometers!
This was undoubtedly a favorable situation for Su Ping.
But no one complained.
Su Ping had not violated any rules.
Moreover, during this period, more and more Beastmasters had tried it out.
After the Origami Beasts were combined, they could indeed be absorbed into the Beastmaster's space and fused into a whole. This was a beast entirely different from all the others.
As the pioneer and discoverer of this beast, Su Ping deserved such treatment.
Besides, by this time, most people had already understood.
Compared to them, this young Beastmaster, younger than them, only had two combat beasts in his possession.
They, on the other hand, had three.
This was the greatest advantage!
However, the external factors of this round caught the attention of many viewers who were rooting for Su Ping:
"Random Terrain: Hanhai Desert! Both sides, please prepare. Countdown: 10, 9, 8..."
The entire stage transformed instantly.
The massive mechanical stage turned into a vast desert.
The scorching sand beneath their feet and the setting sun on the horizon seemed incredibly real.
This terrain did not favor either side, but there was no doubt that it was not ideal for Su Ping.
The desert environment was the most challenging for him, as Qing's Earth-type powers would be difficult to fully utilize here.
At the same time, without much concealment, Su Ping and Qian Yi's actions would immediately catch the attention of their opponents.
Su Ping remained unperturbed, showing no signs of disturbance.
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, marking the start of the match, two familiar rays of light appeared.
In this work organized by Liuxiu Book Bar—
Qing and Qian Yi's figures emerged from the endless yellow sand.
It was clear that—
In this map, it was time to showcase some real skills!
Without Su Ping saying a word, Qing, connected through their soul link, moved instantly!
And then, to everyone's astonishment—
A figure emerged from Qing's body, slowly!
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 had long known about the capabilities of this wolf.
However, back when Su Ping was on the water platform during the Donghai flood, even though someone had taken a video, the distance was too far to see clearly.
Although they could make out some details, the specific situation was not entirely clear.
But they were aware that Qing possessed a clone-type skill.
However, they had not expected that this wolf's clone...
At this moment, even Qin Xiaoxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she conveyed this scene to Muxuan through their soul link.
As the Tree Crown Wolf King, an evolved Forest Wolf with the clone skill just like Qin Xiaoxue's, she was familiar with such skills. However, she did not know why, but after seeing this peculiar mutated Forest Wolf, she felt that—
The clone of Su Ping's beast seemed different from Muxuan's.
However, Wood did not convey any valuable information.
In other words:
'When I encounter this strange Lin Wolf Evolution that dares to impersonate the ability of Wood, I will deal with it!'
Qin Xiaoxue paid no heed to this unreliable fellow.
Instead, like everyone else, her gaze was fixed on the arena.
However, while they could stare, Xie Qiong, as her opponent, couldn't!
Three pet beasts were summoned in an instant.
Including that one whose entire body, from head to toe, was white skeletal, with only a pale soul fire burning within its dragon head.
Bone Dragons are also dragons, and most of them can fly, except for the Earth Dragon like Si Tuyan's.
Standing on the pale dragon skull, Xie Qiong adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and, with extreme speed, rushed towards the end of her line of sight!
Although the two sides of the arena were several kilometers apart,
However, at this extreme speed, she still quickly saw Su Ping on the other side. What made Xie Qiong slightly startled was that at the end of her line of sight, in front of Su Ping, besides the origami man whose body was spinning with translucent energy,
The green elemental wolf that had been there earlier was now two?
Identical?
In an instant, Xie Qiong thought of something, and her brows furrowed: 'Clone?'
She smirked, looking at a pet beast beside her—Darkeye Demon.
A dark-type necromantic pet beast.
With extremely sharp senses.
The clone's strength was naturally weaker, mainly focusing on confusion!
She must break through this wolf's defenses quickly and interrupt the pet beast's power accumulation!
However, what Darkeye Demon revealed to her made her startle.
Can't tell?
All of them are the originals?
Could it be that Su Ping, such a proud breeder, can breed two completely identical pet beasts?
Impossible, right?
Unfortunately, with insufficient intelligence and analysis, and no time to delay, she couldn't hold back.
"Bone, go!"
Poisonous beasts are inherently suppressed by necromantic pet beasts.
Not to mention a necromantic Bone Dragon from the Dragon Clan!
Although Bone hasn't awakened its dragon powers and many energy-based offensive skills yet, Bone Dragon's strength, unlike the Ghost Dragon from the Ghost Dragon Clan, is already formidable.
As a member of the Dragon Clan, its physique and power are the most formidable!
So, from any angle, the Su Ping in front of her eyes, as long as he interrupts the origami man's power accumulation, has no chance of winning!
Xie Qiong was confident!
This legendary breeder's path ends here!
However, she also understood the principle of a lion fighting a rabbit, so she directly launched her attack:
"Bone, Bone Armor! Death Body!"
In an instant, Bone Dragon's body seemed to be enveloped in a pitch-black armor.
Besides the armor, its body was like ash, black smoke slowly burning from its body.
In just a blink, Xie Qiong shifted from Bone Dragon's body to Batwing Ghost Sparrow,
and Bone Dragon transformed into a pitch-black sword, like a black meteor falling from the sky, enveloped in the same black tail flame, and slammed towards those two elemental wolves!
A huge roar seemed to shake the entire arena.
The tremendous force even caused the arena to briefly transform, returning to its mechanical form, then instantly switching back.
However, a huge pit and the activated energy barrier were enough to prove the power of this strike!
Smoke and sand obscured the view, preventing everyone from seeing the situation inside.
Even the referee appeared in the observation area, tense.
However, just five seconds later, something unexpected happened.
A huge dragon roar resounded.
This dragon roar was filled with unwillingness and anger,
and after the smoke cleared, Xie Qiong in the sky changed her expression.
As the smoke dissipated, everyone saw that the originally white Bone Dragon's body was once again tinged with a strand of purplish-blue.
Those two green elemental wolves, facing such an attack, neither dodged nor avoided, and one even stretched out its claws, colliding head-on with this Bone Dragon falling from the sky.
And the result of the collision seemed self-evident.
Su Ping smiled.
He figured it out. That Death Body was a special enhanced supreme skill, and just now, Bone Dragon's speed and power far exceeded that of lower-ranked Monarch-level pet beasts.
But so what?
Beryllium bodies can ignore almost all direct physical attacks!
And once they touch the beryllium body, even their souls can't escape the toxicity of beryllium poison!
Bone Dragon?
Necromantic beasts inherently suppressing poisonous beasts?
Who suppresses whom is not yet certain!
