Chapter 409: The Top Three Contenders! An Unexpected Opponent!
Chapter 409: The Top Three Contenders! An Unexpected Opponent!
"She's lost! Even with the full power of the Bone Dragon, Xie Qiong still failed!"
On the commentator's platform, Wang Shengtian couldn't help but sigh as he watched the battle on the arena, where the outcome was no longer in doubt, and shook his head.
It had to be said that Xie Qiong's strength had already reached a formidable level.
The Bone Dragon's power was not something that Su Ping had encountered in any of his previous opponents.
Not to mention the Undead Skeleton, which had been infected by the Wolf Demon's deadly poison, but it still didn't lose its fighting power like the other opponents' beasts.
This Bone Dragon fought for a full ten minutes in this situation!
However, not only the three commentators on the platform but also the countless spectators watching this scene could see that the Bone Dragon was becoming increasingly overwhelmed.
And in the next second, as the Origami Figure slowly drew his sword, all his perseverance became meaningless.
"Yes! Su Ping's performance proves that whether it's a Dragon Breed or any other advanced breed, they are not invincible after being obtained."
"Even the seemingly weakest of the other breeds, if properly nurtured, can also display formidable strength."
Lu Guangming summarized from the side.
Zhang Lan, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the two of them.
As the vice-president of the Mechanic Association, he was a man of action.
These two guys were quite good at talking.
If the breed of the beast wasn't important, why would the reward for this Professional Assessment be an Imperial Breed cub? Why reward a Dragon Breed?
And he's using Su Ping as an example?
Isn't this just nonsense?
Of course, in front of the vast crowd of beastmasters, Zhang Lan couldn't say anything; he could only smile, nod, and remain silent.
But the two of them weren't wrong.
As the Origami Figure drew his sword, this was a slow move for Su Ping, but among the other participating beastmaster students, it was an extremely fast battle, and there was no longer any doubt about the outcome.
Even if the Dark Eye Demon and the Bat-Winged Ghost Swallow joined the fight, it wouldn't make a difference.
Xie Qiong's face turned pale, her spiritual power was greatly depleted, and the final result was obviously hard for her to accept.
Su Ping smiled slightly and looked at Xie Qiong, who slowly descended from the arena after the referee announced the end of the match. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"You're too kind."
Xie Qiong glared at him:
"Where did Su Ping, the breeder, get the idea that the arena is about strength? However, I do appreciate Su Ping's help with the detoxification."
Su Ping nodded and then said after some thought:
"I don't know much about Bone Dragons, but your Dark Eye Demon actually has great potential! I can sense that this type of beast has some untapped potential."
Xie Qiong was slightly startled, as if she hadn't expected Su Ping to say such words. After a pause, she nodded.
Su Ping smiled and nodded back.
The slightly gloomy figure turned and left.
Su Ping shrugged and remained where he was.
Before Su Ping could take another step, a voice sounded again.
"What were you two chatting about?"
Ignoring Ye Zhou, who had finally arrived, Su Ping smiled at Qin Xiaoxue, who was not far away.
Feeling a bit displeased, Ye Zhou was about to speak when Su Ping said:
"Hurry up and go. I remember the next match is Chen Zhan against that Qin Feng, right? Otherwise, you might miss your chance."
Ye Zhou was taken aback and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hmph, since you say so, I won't hold back."
Carrying the Time Sandglass, he stepped onto the arena.
Su Ping's gaze was calm as he watched Ye Zhou's back, and he could roughly guess what kind of trick this guy was about to pull.
A Time Breed beast...
So, he spoke softly:
"Old Ye, tomorrow let me see how well you can execute the move you've been preparing for so long."
Ye Zhou was stunned and turned around, looking at Su Ping with a complicated expression. Then, he grinned.
"If I can't beat you after all this, I'll be completely convinced. In that case, I'll graduate and become your assistant. But you better make it into the top three."
Su Ping nodded.
"Just don't ask for too high a salary later."
Without another word, he turned and left, returning to his seat.
Qin Xiaoxue didn't come up to chat this time.
After Chen Zhan's match, it was her turn.
At this moment, adjusting her state and preparing for the upcoming battle was the real deal.
(End of Chapter)Qin Feng and Chen Zhan, the top-ranked students from the Imperial Capital and West Capital respectively, both undefeated with ten wins each. The intensity of the competition is evident as the rankings narrow down to the top twelve.
Su Ping, who has limited knowledge about Qinglong and other tool-type companion beasts, is even less familiar with the latter. He watches the beast taming battle with a sense of confusion, as Qin Feng's tactics involve the Yellow Earth Seal and the Imperial Sword, both high-level tool-type companion beasts. Their talents are also unique, particularly Chen Zhan's, which is named 'Weapon Concealed Within.' This talent allows the beast tamer to perfectly control their companion beast while enhancing its abilities.
Qin Feng's battle style is indeed distinct from other beast tamers. With the Imperial Sword and the Dragon Ancestor, he clashes with Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon and two elemental companions, a Hurricane and a Thunder Elemental.
Chen Zhan primarily uses elemental companions, favoring wind and thunder elements. These companions are rare and valuable, often immune to most physical attacks except for energy-based ones.
While Qin Feng's attacks are not all of this nature, there is a certain degree of restraint between them.
The terrifying Azure Dragon, even with Qin Feng's powerful skill, boosts the Dragon Ancestor's strength significantly, but it's not enough against Chen Zhan.
Xie Qiong and Qin Feng are eliminated one after the other, and the online debate about whether West Capital Academy has surpassed Imperial Capital Academy resurfaces.
The following battle reveals that there are no lucky breaks, and all opponents, except for those drawn by lottery, are formidable.
Qin Xiaoxue's battle is relatively straightforward.
Shan He Academy's representative, relying on type advantages, barely makes it to the top twelve.
Now, he is defeated by Qin Xiaoxue, who uses a wood-type companion to counter his own. This is the most one-sided battle among the six.
The outcome of the battle between Ye Zhou and Feng Rong, the sole representative of Heroic Spirit Academy, is not surprising.
The simple yet effective pairing of the Ringed Tiger and the Ice Chant Cicada leaves their opponents clumsy.
The battle doesn't require Ye Zhou's Time Beast to intervene, as the simple yet powerful duo ends the match.
The low-key participant, who has only used two companion beasts so far, regardless of the opponent, fights with such decisiveness and simplicity, like an elite beast tamer. What is the ability of his third companion beast that allows him to remain so mysterious and garner so much attention?
The final two battles, compared to Ye Zhou and Feng Rong's, and even the previous four, showcase the terrifying collision of two advanced skills, the ultimate attack-type skills.
Pan Xiaoyu vs Mu Hanchan.
Shen Fu vs Qu Zhen.
A battle of the strongest water and ice energies.
A direct clash of machines and flesh.
In the end, Mu Hanchan and Shen Fu emerge victorious.
Water and ice.
The true spectacle is the terrifying clash of two advanced skills, the ultimate attack-type skills.
Dahuaiwuliang vs Absolute Zero.
The two are evenly matched, separated by a hair's breadth.
Pan Xiaoyu's talent is water element affinity, while Mu Hanchan's is ice element affinity.
Indeed, Su Ping's talent, as Zhou Shuchen's, is fire element affinity, a simple yet powerful beast taming talent.
However, the outcome is decided by Mu Hanchan's luck, as the random terrain turns out to be Mount Tai's Apex.
Though it seems unrelated to water and ice, the two contestants understand the nuances.
Of course, this terrain doesn't favor Mu Hanchan, suggesting that her strength surpasses Pan Xiaoyu's.
However, many online disagree.
It's not that Mu Hanchan's victory is undeserved.
In less than a month, Mu Hanchan's fan base has grown larger than any of the top twelve, except for Su Ping.
And it was a victory based purely on strength.
These people purely believed that Pan Xiaoyu's strength was absolutely capable of making it into the top six.
The reason for his elimination was purely bad luck, as he was paired with Mu Hanchan.
In their opinion, aside from Chen Zhan and Ye Zhou, even Su Ping, and including Qin Xiaoxue, Pan Xiaoyu didn't stand a chance of winning.
However, this line of thought was obviously just empty talk and held no real significance.
And the final battle.
Shen Fu from Qi Lu Province faced Qu Zhen from Tianfu Academy.
Shen Fu's victory came as a surprise to many.
Qu Zhen's Kung Fu Panda, along with his other two Companion Beasts, were all purely Combat-type Breeds.
In terms of Companion Beast combinations, they were indeed inferior to Shen Fu.
In the end, the top six were decided amidst the approval of some and the strong disapproval of others, after an entire afternoon and into the dark of night.
Su Ping, Chen Zhan, Qin Xiaoxue, Ye Zhou, Mu Hanchan, and Shen Fu.
Each of them had their unique characteristics and battle styles.
Under the spotlight, these six individuals, with the help of the Winged Saint, had their conditions fully restored, including their Companion Beasts.
These six people were the strongest among tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of their peers across the entire nation, standing tall on the stage!
Most importantly, among these six, aside from the unlucky one who might be eliminated, the remaining five would become the new generation of Dragon Masters.
—Even though that scoundrel Chen Zhan already had one.
Even some of those who had just been eliminated couldn't help but feel envious as they looked at these six.
In the Dragon Kingdom, everyone desired to bond with a True Dragon as their Companion Beast.
Unfortunately, this achievement was just one step away from them before.
But this step was one they could no longer take.
However, the harsh reality of assessment competitions was such.
Moreover, not many people felt sympathy for them, and they would have to face off again tomorrow, eliminating two more from these six, just like in the morning, to determine the top ten.
The top ten would also receive an Imperial Breed Companion Beast as a reward.
This reward competition would be one of the biggest highlights of tomorrow, aside from the final showdown!
Next, on this night's battle, the six on stage would once again have to make a choice to determine the real top three!
The top three!
The time wasn'time wasn't particularly tense, but after the ratings peaked during the prime-time slot in the evening, the random grouping and battles continued in an orderly fashion.
For the remaining six individuals, their opponents were revealed one by one!
Compared to before, the flashing of six names was much simpler.
So, in less than thirty seconds, as the names stabilized, Su Ping looked up.
The first battle to appear was:
Ye Zhou vs. Mu Hanchan.
Su Ping nodded, a Time-type against an Ice-type.
Absolute Zero was said to be able to freeze even time, and now he could see it in action.
The next battle followed:
Su Ping vs. Qin Xiaoxue.
Su Ping nodded again, the Azure Dragon and two Wind-Thunder Elemental Spirit Companion Beasts against Mechanical Companion Beasts, somewhat like a clash between the new and old eras.
However, at that moment, Su Ping suddenly realized something! As expected, his gaze quickly locked onto the final battle.
The last of the top three:
Su Ping vs. Qin Xiaoxue.
