Chapter 410: Su Ping vs Qin Xiaoxue!
Chapter 410: Su Ping vs Qin Xiaoxue!
The words appeared, and Su Ping's brows furrowed, as did Miss Qin's.
Clearly, both had perhaps thought that they would face each other on the arena during this Professional Assessment, but neither had expected it to happen so soon.
Although, in reality, they both knew that it wasn't really fast at all.
This was the final round of the top six to top three, a genuine semi-final elimination match.
One could only say that their luck was relatively average.
Unless Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue both managed to advance to the top three, this was already their true limit.
However, both seemed somewhat taken aback by this outcome.
Especially Qin Xiaoxue, who, upon seeing the last line, seemed momentarily dazed.
A year ago, when she faced Su Ping, she had only mentioned the special nature of this Professional Assessment and genuinely wished Su Ping good luck.
But at that time, if she were honest with herself, she had absolutely not expected that the seemingly ordinary recent graduate, a young shovel boy, would make it this far.
Back then, she thought that Su Ping would, at most, only reach the Final Trial and the Imperial Capital.
But now, this person in front of her was actually going to compete with her for the top three.
The atmosphere became somewhat subtle at this moment.
However, many spectators in the audience clearly did not pick up on this, eagerly anticipating the first pair of contestants to take the stage!
Only two relatively special individuals exchanged a glance, a hint of a mysterious smile appearing in their eyes.
These two were none other than Dong Muchuan, who had been competing for a top twenty spot just this morning, the, day afternoon,, was an morning,,.
a beautiful and graceful woman.
Dong Muchuan, who else could it be?
The siblings now sat in the front row of the audience, and with Dong Muchuan's large sunglasses and mask, no one recognized that this person beside them had been in the competition this morning.
"Miss Qin actually ended up facing Su Ping?"
Dong Muchuan propped his chin, speaking with interest.
Then, this guy who was truly a sibling from the same mother turned to his sister:
"Sis, who do you think will win?"
"
Dong Muchuan lowered her sunglasses,, and, sunglasses and, and a sunglasses aside, sunglasses, "I don't know."
Then, Dong Muchuan looked at her brother:
"Instead, you, you've been hiding for so long, hiding for long, long did you hiding for so long, hiding did hiding sunglasses?"
long"
"I's been a to hiding, but only to a top twenty. What happened?"
Dong Muchuan shrugged his shoulders just like his sister:
"
" the old thing?"
D Dong Much Dong Muchuan ",, "Those words to't be to that old man, if he put all the effort he did on that waste into you, there's no reason to recognize an Imperial Peak Spatial Beastmaster as a teacher."
Dong Much smiled,,, Dong Muchuan's this aspect of things, but then said:
"Go tell that old man these words. If he put all that effort into you, there's no reason to recognize a teacher who is an Imperial Peak Spatial Beast Master."
Dong Muchuan laughed for, this a, long to think time's you to eight to do top long.
You to."
He it"
", but's any point to win a genuine judgment:
been to what he did with his brother:
"Come to think, it's all about being in the way for a time.,"
to be an, but there's no point in being overly concerned."
Dong Muchuan smiled, then slightly paused and said:
"But, there are some aspects, there's no need to be overly concerned.. It's all about the."
Dong Muchuan smiled. The siblings' perspectives on this matter were indeed slightly different. As an older sister, she preferred to approach it from a third-party perspective, and she wasn't overly concerned with temporary conflicts, valuing the steady flow of time.
After getting to know Su Ping better, it was clear that he agreed with her viewpoint.
The semi-final match proceeded smoothly.
It was an undeniably captivating battle, even more intense than the previous Top Twelve match.
Ye Zhou against Mu Hanchan.
The former's beastmaster abilities were extremely mysterious, while the latter's strength was also exceptionally powerful. In the eyes of some, both had the strength and potential to contend for the championship.
And for the first time, even Ye Zhou, when facing Mu Hanchan, finally showed some changes.
Previously, the Year-Ring Tiger and Ice Chant Cicada had defeated countless opponents, but this time, relying solely on these two, faced the Absolute Zero of their opponents, and it was clear they were at a disadvantage.
For the first time, the Ice Chant Cicada in Ye Zhou's hands displayed a skill that had never been seen before, and it was this skill that completely tipped the scales of the battle.
Time Pause!
Time-type beasts were the most mysterious and rare. Even their skills were like this.
The public's understanding and knowledge of Time-type beasts were indeed too scarce.
Time Pause was relatively simple among such skills.
It didn't seem like a particularly amazing ability, but it was genuinely terrifying and dreadful, just like the spatial manipulation beast's teleportation.
These were the most basic uses of these two abilities, but even just using them was enough to be frightening!
During the pause, both the opponent's beast and the beastmaster themselves were like sitting ducks.
Although the duration was only a brief moment, perhaps not even reaching a full second, it was enough.
Mu Hanchan was resentful.
Absolute Zero could freeze almost all living beings.
However, both the Year-Ring Tiger and Ice Chant Cicada seemed to possess unique defensive abilities, or perhaps their bodies were unaffected by temperature changes.
Their movements only slightly slowed, and their energy consumption increased, but the effect wasn't as expected.
As a result, Mu Hanchan's usual combat style, which relied on overwhelming her opponents, became ineffective. After the skill was released, the significant energy consumption of her main beast left her unable to recover immediately, and the outcome of the battle was decided.
As the Year-Ring Tiger's time-related abilities focused on her, with a thought, this beastmaster suffered severe injuries or even death. The result of the battle was thus determined.
Indeed, Ye Zhou became the first to advance to the Top Three.
This low-key individual, whose combat style wasn't particularly flashy, was the first from Capital City Academy. With just a slight display of his abilities, he shocked everyone.
Even Su Ping was impressed.
Time Pause.
This ability was terrifying.
Although Ye Zhou's Ice Chant Cicada couldn't achieve a Time Pause lasting more than a second at their current level, if it were used like this, directly attacking the beastmaster themselves, how could they defend against it?
Moreover, there was also the Time Sandglass!
Su Ping didn't know.
Could Qian Yi and Xiao Qing protect themselves during the instant of Time Pause? He didn't know either.
But it was clear that tonight, he would have to watch Ye Zhou's battle recording several times and study it carefully.
Compared to Ye Zhou's match, the second battle between Chen Zhan and Shen Fu was relatively straightforward and brutal.
It was the type of battle Su Ping preferred.
These two were pure energy clashes, simple brawls, yet they were the epitome of enjoyment.
In terms of energy alone, Qian Yi and Xiao Qing were not inferior to anyone.
Only Ye Zhou's annoying tactics made Su Ping wary.
The comparison between these two was like the difficulty levels of some online game instances.
One type was purely numerical, where one needed to reach a certain level and equipment to pass.
The other type was annoyingly complex, requiring one to satisfy all sorts of bizarre conditions, thoroughly understand the boss instance mechanics, and perhaps even wipe with the group a few times to get a feel for it before having a chance.
Chen Zhan was like this.
Compared to the complex Time-type, the Wind-Thunder attribute and mechanical beast's energy collision, the main tactic was a straightforward energy clash and close-quarters combat.
The final result didn't surprise many.
Shen Fu making it this far was already impressive.
After Chen Zhan's main combat beast, the Azure Dragon, used the 'Wind Domain' which didn't belong to this stage of the Dragon Clan, there was no suspense left in the final battle.
Domain-type skills are relatively unique control skills.
They significantly enhance one's own abilities while severely weakening the opponent.
Nowadays, among the Blue Star Beastmasters, the most revered advanced domain-type skill is the Undead Death Domain, which Charles created two years ago before his Heptagram Quintessence.
Although the Wind Domain is not as powerful as the Undead Death Domain, it is still a domain-type skill. Even if Shen Fu was reluctant, he used all his hidden skills, but he was still torn apart by the raging wind and blown away.
The excitement of these two beastmaster battles was naturally beyond words.
However, Su Ping watched with a sense of dissatisfaction.
Even until Chen Zhan and the reluctant Shen Fu walked down from the arena, they were like this.
In fact, Su Ping didn't care much about the ranking of this final trial.
The so-called reward of the top three spiritual seeds was useless to him.
The second talent was very precious to others; it was the medium for beastmasters to improve and showcase their abilities.
However, what Su Ping lacked the most was the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, which was the beastmaster's talent.
As for the other rewards, dragon pets, and the rest, as long as he made it to the top five, he would get them.
His feelings for Qin Xiaoxue were rather complex.
However, it was beyond doubt that he was always grateful to Miss Qin.
The trust he received when he was insignificant, the precious creation stone for Su Ping at the time, and the subsequent cultivation of the Crowned Wolf Emperor's body outside the body, were all related to Miss Qin.
Therefore, Su Ping's heart moved, and he took a deep breath, making a decision and preparation in his heart.
In fact, he understood Miss Qin better than anyone else.
Miss Qin was an extremely competitive person.
Thinking of this, Su Ping glanced at Qin Xiaoxue, and the latter also looked at him. Then, before the two of them went on stage, Qin Xiaoxue spoke directly:
"No surrender! No holding back! Neither of us is allowed to do so! If you dare to surrender directly, I won't speak to you for a month, not even a week!"
Su Ping was startled, and then couldn't help but smile.
These words seemed more like a display of cuteness than a threat.
It seemed that Miss Qin wasn't stupid after all?
But soon, Qin Xiaoxue continued, "Don't forget, you once told me that you wanted to show me your strength! Is there a better stage than this?"
After speaking, Qin Xiaoxue didn't waste any more words. Before the host could speak, after the huge arena completed its self-cleaning and repair, Qin Xiaoxue entered from the other side, disappearing from sight.
Su Ping's gaze gradually became firm as he stepped onto the arena, standing in the center of this stage that attracted everyone's attention.
The girl in the distance, still in her remembered appearance,
But unlike any other time, the current Qin Xiaoxue stood at a distance as his opponent.
Her bright eyes held excitement and battle intent that ordinary people her age didn't possess.
Indeed, for Miss Qin, it seemed that she didn't even need a third-place ranking obtained through surrender.
Thinking of this, Su Ping pursed his lips, also revealing a hint of a smile.
Let him see, besides the Crowned Wolf Emperor he personally cultivated, and the other two pets, what kind of strength did they truly possess!
At this moment, the referee's voice was heard again above the arena:
"Random Terrain: Thorny Jungle! Both contestants, please prepare. The countdown begins in ten seconds, and the match officially starts. During the match, the use of magic potions and mechanical weapons is prohibited. 10, 9, 8..."
The familiar countdown sound began again.
The huge arena before them slowly transformed once more.
The mechanical metal arena disappeared from sight.
In its place, a jungle filled with thorns and trees appeared.
For Qian Yi, the terrain wasn't much of an issue.
If that was the case, then so be it!
A flash of light passed through Su Ping's eyes, and at the same moment the countdown ended,
Two beams of summoning light appeared.
Just right, let this openly strongest evolved form of the Crowned Wolf Emperor, and his mutated evolved form, the Verdant Demon Wolf Spirit, see who is stronger and who is weaker.
"Awoo!"
For a moment, two wolf howls simultaneously echoed across the huge arena jungle!
