Chapter 414: Qin Xiaoxue's Full Strength! The Final Battle!
Chapter 414: Qin Xiaoxue's Full Strength! The Final Battle!
The morning sun shone upon the vast arena, the sky a pristine blue, and a fresh scent permeated the air.
It was a clear summer morning, seemingly marking the perfect conclusion to the Junior Beastmaster Qualification Tournament.
Spectators from all directions flooded into the massive Beast Taming Battle Hall.
The packed audience seats buzzed with anticipation, creating an unusually fervent atmosphere, clearly eager for the arrival of this pinnacle showdown.
On the electronic screen behind, promotional clips played, eventually freezing on the final images of the three Beastmasters and their corresponding Beast portraits.
Today marked the grand finale of the half-month-long Junior Beastmaster Qualification Tournament. After intense competitions spanning half a month, the top three contenders from the entire Dragon Kingdom were finally decided.
The central arena's stage remained immaculate.
The Mechanic Engineers Association employed cutting-edge technology to maintain the stage.
The railings around the stage glowed with energy, and countless spectators were brimming with enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting the final showdown.
Host Liu Xu stood in the center of the stage, adorned in a pristine white gown, exuding elegance and solemnity.
The microphone in her hand glistened under the lights, and her face beamed with enthusiasm as she waited for the audience to settle down:
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning! Welcome to the grand finale of the Junior Beastmaster Battle Tournament!"
Liu Xu's voice echoed through the arena via loudspeakers, and the audience immediately responded with thunderous applause and cheers.
"Today, we will witness several unprecedented pinnacle battles! After fierce competitions, three young top-tier Beastmasters have emerged, and they will engage in three final battles to vie for the ultimate championship glory!"
Liu Xu paused, and the atmosphere in the venue reached its climax.
"Before the match begins, let me introduce today's rules." Liu Xu raised her hand, signaling for the audience to quiet down, and continued,
"First, as usual, before the final, in yesterday's results, there were twelve members advancing, so, in the remaining six members outside the top six, two will be eliminated, and the top ten will be confirmed! Only those within the top ten will receive corresponding rewards! Among them, the top ten's choices will still be decided by a draw, and among the three contestants who lose in the first round of the draw, the two contestants with the most losses and a negative win-loss relationship will be eliminated!
As for the top five's choices, they will be determined by the win-loss relationship in three rounds of rotation among Qin Xiaoxue, Mu Hanchan, and Shen Fu!
After confirming the top ten and top five, it will be the three final matches that everyone is looking forward to! Similarly, to ensure the final gold content, the three final matches will also confirm that the top three will complete the rotation battle.
Ensuring the accuracy of the final rankings!"
Liu Xu's voice was crisp as she continued to ramble about subsequent acknowledgments and advertisements.
Su Ping yawned in the audience.
He hadn't gotten much rest the previous day.
To be precise, he hadn't rested at all.
Although his current realm strength wasn't lacking in sleep, the continuous high-pressure environment of consecutive battles made him feel a bit weary.
The new prompt from the Tome of Ten Thousand Spirits excited Su Ping.
However, the experience points consumed were indeed a bit excessive.
A full ten thousand Tome experience points,
If converted back to general experience points, it would still require a whopping two thousand general experience points.
Of course, Su Ping wouldn't be crazy enough to actually do that.
Even if the Wolf Spirit Tome's experience points were barely sufficient, allowing him to directly choose to analyze the Thorn Garden, Su Ping wasn't in a hurry to start the analysis.
After all, there was still the competition to consider.
Breeding could wait until he got home.
The reason for his sleeplessness was simple: he just couldn't sleep.
So, after a brief meditation, Su Ping created a new toy prototype with Fatty.
Although called a toy, it wasn't entirely accurate.
It was more of a supplement to the Ten Thousand Spirits Heart.
After Fatty's continuous consumption of numerous mechanical cores, his online 'traffic resources' had undoubtedly increased.
The update speed of the Dream Heart couldn't be exceptionally fast, and the Dream Heart didn't solely focus on game content.
So, when a man and his pet were bored and restless, they decided to create a brand new website under the name of Wanling Heart and Su Ping.
Of course, creating a website isn't an extraordinary feat; even if Fei Fei were to step in, any programmer could easily accomplish this task.
However, with the establishment of the Dream Heart website, Fei Fei also developed a keen interest in many aspects of entertainment and wanted to try out some new ideas.
Su Ping didn't pay much attention to Fei Fei's ideas for 'casual' type pets.
Fei Fei himself wasn't particularly passionate about battles.
As of now, Xiao Qing and Qian Yi's combat strength was already sufficient.
At this thought, Su Ping rubbed his temples.
He turned his gaze towards the arena.
The top six contestants had already taken their places.
Qu Zhen, Qin Feng, Feng Rong, Xie Qiong, Pan Xiaoyu, and An Hong.
These were the six members who had been eliminated in the previous round of the top twelve.
Among these six contestants, according to Su Ping's speculation, the two most likely to be eliminated were An Hong and Feng Rong.
An Hong, as the fourth-ranked Beastmaster of Mountain River Academy, inherently lacked strength.
It was purely due to luck that he made it to the top twelve.
However, being in the top twelve but failing to reach the top ten was no different from not making it to the top twenty.
As for Feng Rong, being the last of the eight major Beastmaster academies, Heroic Spirit Academy, faced more constraints.
Moreover, his raw strength was indeed inferior to the others.
There's no need to elaborate on Xie Qiong and Pan Xiaoyu; one possessed the advanced skill of the Bone Dragon, while the other was just a step away from Mu Hanchan in terms of skill.
As for Qu Zhen and Qin Feng, the combat strength of their pets had already been confirmed.
Although these two were excellent, they lacked the trump card of an advanced skill, so their elimination was within reason.
In fact, this outcome was not unexpected.
In the first round, Qu Zhen, Feng Rong, and An Hong had lost to their opponents. Qu Zhen faced Qin Feng and narrowly lost, but in subsequent battles, he held a clear advantage, allowing the Beastmaster from Tianfu Academy to breathe a sigh of relief, barely making it into the top ten.
Although An Hong and Feng Rong were unwilling to accept their defeat, they had no choice due to their inferior strength.
The top ten represented that after becoming a Monarch, one would directly obtain a pet with Imperial Potential in its juvenile form.
This significant difference in outcome naturally made the eliminated pair feel extremely dejected.
However, there was nothing to be done about it.
No one felt sorry for them, as soon after, the afternoon commenced with the intense battle for the top five spots, excluding the final championship match.
Compared to the densely scheduled morning, the top five battles only consisted of three Beastmaster fights.
Mu Hanchan, Qin Xiaoxue, and Shen Fu.
It was a round-robin format.
Undoubtedly, the intensity of the battles increased twofold with just one additional round.
Qin Xiaoxue vs. Shen Fu.
Shen Fu vs. Mu Hanchan.
Mu Hanchan vs. Qin Xiaoxue.
In the first of these three battles, Qin Xiaoxue stepped into the arena.
Su Ping also became more alert, knowing that a dragon pet was involved, even though Shen Fu was the young master of the Mountain River Group and didn't seem to lack money,
But a dragon wasn't something that money could buy.
The three mechanical pets, played with like toys, unleashed their full power.
However, the final outcome was cruel.
Mechanical pets, in the development of Dragon Kingdom, were not particularly formidable.
Only some top-tier mechanical blueprints had been acquired by Dragon Kingdom through Meng Huang Liang.
Especially some large-scale mechanical warships that could traverse the starry skies.
But even so, civilian combat mechanical pets still fell short in certain aspects.
Even though the Mountain River Group's mechanical pets were impressive, especially the Judgment Angel, which had two forms and combat methods.
But with inferior strength, there was no way to change the outcome.
If it were the day before, Shen Fu might have had a chance to win,
But after the previous day, naturally, the Thorn Garden had awakened, and even if it weren't for intentional suppression, the Woodhead and Fairy Hua, along with the Life Ancient Tree, would have directly elevated them to the Monarch rank.
The first defeat seemed to have left Shen Fu unable to adjust.
In the second match, he still faced the same outcome.
Indeed, by the end of the second match of the top five battles, the top five contestants had already been decided.
Shen Fu's face was filled with bitterness and reluctance.
At this moment, he experienced the feelings of those who had been eliminated before him,
Just a step away from a regular Imperial-level pet and a dragon pet.
An ordinary Imperial Level young pet beast is not something the Mountain River Group can't obtain.
As a third-generation direct descendant of the Mountain River Group, this isn't much of an issue, but it's different for dragons.
However, no matter how much one talks, it doesn't change the fact that after losing to two people in a row, the final outcome is almost certain.
Still, the last match must be fought.
Because, aside from the top five, there is a distinction between the fourth and fifth places.
This distinction is not very important in the top ten or top twenty.
However, within the top five, it is extremely crucial, as the five dragon pets are chosen based on the ranking.
If a favored dragon pet is selected by someone else, it would be a significant loss.
And this final battle for the top five involves the last two female contestants, both of whom are considered to be stunning beauties, making the topic even more engaging.
A battle between the Wood Type and Ice Type!
The random map is the Snowy Highland.
Clearly, this is a map that heavily favors Mu Hanchan.
In previous battles, apart from being somewhat helpless against Ye Zhou, Mu Hanchan's terrifying dominance has been enough to make people believe in her.
This time, with the slight advantage of the terrain, some were convinced before the match even started that Mu Hanchan had secured the fourth place.
However, the final outcome surprised almost everyone except Su Ping.
Indeed, Qin Xiaoxue almost secured her fourth place with a resounding victory.
Because, that Fairy Hua finally made its move.
Vital Tide!
This Advanced Skill, which could be viewed under the Master-level permissions of the Breeder Association, was something Su Ping naturally knew about.
The Vital Tide skill, as recorded in the Breeder Association, can be described in one sentence.
When this skill is activated, within its range, as long as one is not dead, they will not die.
This statement might seem contradictory and confusing.
However, after Qin Xiaoxue had Fairy Hua activate the skill, it truly proved the value of Vital Tide, an Advanced Skill of the Life and Wood Types, and one of the strongest combat state skills.
Is Absolute Zero terrifying?
Of course, it's a terrifying power that can even solidify energy.
The Ice Frost Spirit King, Frostwing Golden Eagle, and Snowflake Divine Sword.
These three Ice Type pet beasts unleashed unimaginable offensive power under Absolute Zero.
However, under the effect of Vital Tide.
The Woodhead and Life Ancient Tree, which had fully recovered their energy and healed their wounds, and were no longer in the Frozen State, finally unleashed the Jungle Carnaval and Thorn Garden without any energy constraints, along with the Life Ancient Tree that emitted death waves.
They directly overwhelmed Mu Hanchan's three pet beasts in one fell swoop.
It wasn't a Hunter Beastmaster strategy of capturing the leader first, but a straightforward battle on the frontlines, resisting Absolute Zero with a resounding victory.
This scene pushed Miss Qin's reputation to a climax.
At the same time, various unusual voices emerged:
"Why didn't Qin Xiaoxue let Fairy Hua use Vital Tide yesterday?"
"Wasn't this to directly push Su Ping into the top three? What's the relationship between these two?"
"Cheating! This is cheating! I think Qin Xiaoxue might not necessarily lose even against Chen Zhan's Wind Dragon."
"+1, Shen Fu fought with Chen Zhan for so long. Although Qin Xiaoxue also put in some effort, she defeated Shen Fu quite easily. Qin Xiaoxue has the strength for the top three."
"Phew! I disagree!"
"What are you disagreeing with? They are a perfect match, why should you, a monster, have a say?"
"Maybe Qin Xiaoxue believed that even with Vital Tide activated, she couldn't break through Su Ping's Green Demon Wolf? At the time, the Origami Figure could have made its move in another minute."
"Exactly, a bunch of people are just jealous of my husband. Who knows what Qin Xiaoxue's intentions were? Maybe she just wanted to attract my husband's attention."
"..."
Clearly, the final battle for the top five sparked much discussion.
Especially after the Wolf King battle yesterday, the power explosion of Fairy Hua and the stunning performance of Vital Tide made the topic even more heated.
Fortunately, such arguments and curses are always present.
And even better, after a short one-hour break, as the sun slowly tilted toward the west.
The final and most anticipated battle for the top three was about to begin.
And the first to take the stage was Su Ping, who had been the center of discussion for a short while.
The first battle for the final top three ranking:
Su Ping vs Chen Zhan!
